Hebrew media: The occupation's plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza faces an Egyptian obstacle.

Hebrew media revealed that the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, discussed with the security establishment in the last "Cabinet" session a plan to deport Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which is set to be implemented next month through aerial and naval means.

According to Channel 12, Netanyahu is expected to present these plans to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to the occupation's headquarters.

The Hebrew channel clarified that Tel Aviv has already contacted several countries to host the Palestinians, but "Israel" itself has doubts about the feasibility of the plan.

In the same context, ministers in the occupation called for convincing Egypt to allow the displaced to pass through its territory, which Netanyahu also doubted would succeed.

In a decisive response, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry firmly rejected any plans to deport Palestinians, describing them as "an unacceptable Israeli policy aimed at emptying Palestinian land."

The ministry stated in a statement that Egypt will not accept or participate in this "historical injustice," warning that this step will inevitably lead to the "liquidation of the Palestinian cause."

Cairo emphasized that these plans constitute "a war crime and ethnic cleansing" and violate international law, calling on the countries of the world not to get involved in this "unethical crime."

Waxman stated that Gaza has incited Hollywood against itself, and that the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals have highlighted the divisions created by the war in Gaza.

Activist Thunberg calls for teaching about the Gaza genocide: I didn't learn about Palestine in schools.

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg, who participated in the "Madeleine" ship mission and was arrested by the Israeli occupation, called for teaching school children about the genocide in Gaza.

In statements made by the Swedish activist, reported by The Times correspondent Georgia Lambert, she urged schools to stop teaching false narratives that ignore or distort the facts of genocide.

Thunberg spoke days before two ships from the fleet were targeted in a drone airstrike while docked in a Tunisian port. It was reported that one of them was flying the British flag.

Thunberg (22 years old) said: "I believe that schools should highlight the early warning signs of genocide, such as the Holocaust, and apply them to what we are currently witnessing to ensure it does not happen again" and "we must teach children from a young age that this is a very dangerous slope. It is crucial to understand the reality of our world if we want to change it."

She added, "Current education systems have completely failed to teach us an understanding of the historical times we live in and to learn from history to prevent these things from happening over and over again."

In England, teaching the Holocaust is a legal requirement in Key Stage 3, and the Labour Party's review of the curriculum and assessment is examining how to ensure all young people receive a broad and comprehensive education.

The Department for Education states that schools can teach a wide range of issues, including difficult or controversial topics, but insists that this must follow strict rules regarding political balance and integrity.

Schools across Britain commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27, which marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, millions of victims who fell, as well as victims of Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur, are remembered.

Thunberg, who gained fame at the age of fifteen for organizing a school strike demanding the Swedish government take climate action, said she was inspired by the protests in the UK against the government's ban on the "Palestine Movement."

She said: "I was inspired by the massive mobilization happening in the UK for the people of Palestine, from which I believe we can learn a lot" and "people of all ages, not just camp students, but also those brave enough to face terrorism charges just for saying they support the Palestine Movement, the UK government is a disgrace to everything we know."

She said: "I did not learn in school about what was happening in Palestine, because it was always portrayed as a conflict. Then when you discover that this is genocide and occupation and apartheid and ethnic cleansing, that is not what we learned in school at all."

Genocide is defined under international law as acts committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part.

While the British government refuses to consider what is happening in Gaza as genocide according to this definition, a special committee at the United Nations found that Israel's actions in Gaza "align with the characteristics of genocide."

Nevertheless, Thunberg argued that "the occurrence of genocide cannot be denied."

She also spoke about her struggles with "anxiety and depression due to climate change."

She said: "We learned that to change this situation, we can provide paper and turn off the lights to save energy. It was like a light pat on the back, as if we were saying: 'No, no, don't exaggerate, don't worry about anything, everything is under control,' while it was very clear that we are not in control of anything. That was a kind of extreme arrogance."

She followed her school's advice and then became a vegetarian, which led her to avoid flights and reduce her consumption before engaging in political activism.

She said: "The best remedy for anxiety and feeling overwhelmed is to take concrete action about it."

More than 20 citizens have been killed and others injured since the dawn of this Friday, due to the ongoing bombardment by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that 14 citizens were killed in an airstrike by the occupation on a house in the Al-Touam area, north of Gaza City.

The sources added that 4 citizens were killed and others injured as a result of the occupation's bombardment targeting the town of Jabalia Nazla in the northern Gaza Strip.

The sources also mentioned that two citizens were killed and others injured after the targeting of a tent housing displaced persons in the Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.

Additionally, one citizen was killed and others injured while waiting for aid from the occupation's gunfire north of Rafah City, while another citizen was martyred in Khan Younis City, south of the Gaza Strip.

In the Sudanese area, northwest of the Gaza Strip, several citizens were killed and injured due to the occupation's targeting of one of the houses.

In Deir al-Balah City, in the central Gaza Strip, citizen Mohannad Abu Meiri was killed, succumbing to injuries he sustained in a previous bombardment on the city, while occupation aircraft targeted 3 houses belonging to the "Abu Meiri" family early this morning, east of Deir al-Balah.

The European Parliament condemns the occupation for preventing aid to Gaza.. What about Netanyahu and his ministers?

The European Parliament condemned the occupation's ban on the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, calling for the opening of all border crossings.

The European Parliament voted on a resolution regarding Gaza, with a majority of 305 votes in favor, 151 votes against, and 122 parliamentarians abstaining from voting.

The European Parliament stated in a statement following the vote that it "strongly condemns Israel's prevention of humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip, which has led to famine."

The European Parliament also called for the opening of all border crossings and urged the re-funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), expressing its objection to the current aid distribution system.

It also announced its support for the decision of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to suspend "bilateral support for Israel and its efforts to suspend the trade provisions in the EU-Israel partnership agreement."

The European Parliament called for sanctions against the far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and settlers and Israeli activists who support violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The Parliament urged all EU institutions and member states to take diplomatic steps to ensure adherence to the two-state solution, while also calling for "the complete disarmament of Gaza and the exclusion of Hamas from managing the sector" and the re-establishment of a Palestinian Authority as the sole governing body.

The Parliament also encouraged EU countries to execute arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court and emphasized the need for member states to consider recognizing the State of Palestine.

The European Parliament described Israel as a "key partner of the EU in combating regional terrorism" and affirmed its right to self-defense, provided it complies with international law.

The statement claimed that "Israel's right to self-defense" does not justify the "military operations" in Gaza that have caused unbearable suffering for civilians.

It is noted that the joint resolution presented by the Socialist and Democratic groups, "Renew Europe," and the Greens included provisions such as recognition of genocide, an arms embargo on Israel, and the complete suspension of the partnership agreement; however, these provisions were removed from the text due to a lack of consensus.

On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for "suspending free trade with Israel," and spoke about Europe's "painful inability to respond to the war on Gaza and the ensuing humanitarian disaster."

In her strongest condemnation of the occupation government, von der Leyen criticized the illegal settlement plans that would divide the occupied West Bank in two, as well as the incitement to violence by extremist Israeli ministers, describing it as a "clear attempt to undermine the two-state solution."

She made these remarks during her annual "State of the Union" address before the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where she depicted a troubled world where "lines of combat are being drawn" and "dependencies are being armed ruthlessly."

Von der Leyen also described Europe's inability to agree on a response to Gaza as painful and stated that the EU's executive will freeze its bilateral support for Israel, aside from funds for civil society organizations and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial center.

The occupation is prosecuting 6 soldiers who refused to return to fight in Gaza.

The official Israeli broadcasting authority stated that "six soldiers from the Givati Brigade of the army refused to participate in a new round of fighting in the Gaza Strip, prompting their leadership to punish them with imprisonment."

The authority reported that security sources said, "The six soldiers were supposed to enter the northern Gaza Strip, specifically the Jabalia area, but they informed their leaders that they were suffering from physical exhaustion and psychological pressure after nearly two years of continuous operations inside Gaza."

The authority added that "despite their warnings about their psychological deterioration, they were brought to a military trial."

It noted that three of the soldiers were convicted of "refusing orders" and sentenced to 10 days in prison, while two others received suspended prison sentences, and the sixth is awaiting retrial.

According to the authority, the six soldiers "participated dozens of times in incursions into the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, lost comrades during battles, and faced difficult field incidents."

This incident adds to previous similar cases that reflect increasing signs of discontent and psychological exhaustion within the ranks of the Israeli occupation army, nearly two years after the Gaza war, amid ongoing casualties and continuous field pressure.

In recent times, dozens of Israeli military personnel have announced their refusal to participate in the war in Gaza, asserting that its continuation aims to keep Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in power at the expense of Israeli prisoners.

The occupying state estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many having died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Repeatedly, Hamas has confirmed its readiness to release Israeli prisoners "all at once" in exchange for ending the genocide and withdrawing the Israeli army from Gaza and releasing Palestinian prisoners, but Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, evades this by insisting on the continuation of the occupation of Gaza.

The occupying state, with American support, is committing genocide in Gaza since October 2023, resulting in 64,718 martyrs and 163,859 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, with famine killing 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

Germany confirms that it will support the United Nations resolution on the two-state solution.

A spokesperson for the German government said on Thursday that Berlin will support the United Nations resolution on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but does not believe the time is right to recognize a Palestinian state.

The spokesperson added, "Germany will support such a resolution that simply describes the current situation in international law," noting that Berlin "has always supported the two-state solution and consistently calls for it."

The spokesperson further stated, "Chancellor (Friedrich Merz) reaffirmed two days ago that Germany does not see the time as right to recognize a Palestinian state."

Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and Belgium have announced that they will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly this month, although London said it might reconsider if Israel takes steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and commits to a long-term peace process.

The United States strongly opposes any move by its European allies to recognize a Palestinian state.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week that the United States has informed other countries that recognizing a Palestinian state would cause more problems.

Those who see recognition of the Palestinian state as a symbolic gesture more than anything else point to the limited impact in the conflict from countries like China, India, Russia, and many Arab nations that have recognized the Palestinians' right to establish their own state for decades.

After the bombing of Doha: American protection collapses and Arab countries are called to confront Israel.

By bombing the capital of Qatar for the first time and killing six people, Israel confirmed that Arab sovereignty offers no protection, while Washington turns a blind eye to this blatant escalation.

The Israeli attack on Doha is not an ordinary escalation; it is a thunderbolt that shakes every palace, every ministry, and every street in the Arab world. It was not an attack on Hamas, nor on Gaza, but on the very idea that any Arab capital is safe.

Within weeks, Israel bombed Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran, and last year it also bombed Iraq, targeting two ships from the steadfast fleet in Tunisia just two days ago.

Widespread condemnations in the Security Council for Qatar's attack.. and America justifies while the occupation renews its threats.

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session tonight to discuss the Israeli attack on Qatar. The session took place in New York with the presence of the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and witnessed condemnations from the United Nations and most member states of the council regarding the Israeli attack, along with praises for Doha's mediation efforts to end the war in Gaza and its contributions to peace.

Many delegates stated that the Israeli bombardment aimed to undermine the efforts of mediators seeking to end the war in Gaza. For her part, Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN Under-Secretary-General, said that the Israeli strike shocked the world and constitutes a violation of Qatar's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This attack was described as a concerning escalation, especially since it targeted individuals who were gathered to discuss the latest American proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. Meanwhile, the UK representative to the Security Council, Barbara Woodward, stated that her country clearly condemns the Israeli strikes on Doha and fully stands in solidarity with Qatar.

Woodward also described the Israeli attack as a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and a warning of further escalation in the region, noting that Qatar has always been a mediator for peace in the Middle East. For his part, French representative Jérôme Bonaventure condemned the Israeli attack, affirming that it represents a flagrant violation of international law, welcoming Qatar's tireless efforts to mediate an end to the war in Gaza.

The Chinese representative, Fu Tsung, described the attacks on Doha as a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and international law, emphasizing that targeting the Hamas delegation in the Qatari capital reflects bad faith, irresponsibility, and a determination to sabotage negotiations.

The Russian representative, Vasily Nebenzya, condemned the Israeli attack on a residential area in Doha, noting that the bombardment occurred just 600 meters away from the Russian mission's headquarters. Nebenzya stated that the Israeli strike targeted the efforts of mediators and will have serious repercussions.

In contrast, Dorothy Shea, the acting US representative, stated that what happened does not serve the goals of Israel or America. Shea added that despite the painful nature of the incident, President Donald Trump believes it could be an opportunity for peace, as he expressed.

She continued that Trump assured the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani that such an incident would not be repeated on Qatari soil. For his part, the Israeli representative at the Security Council stated that Hamas leaders were the sole target of the occupation's attack in Doha.

He added that there is no immunity for terrorists or those who support them, stating that they have no immunity whether they are in a tunnel or a hotel, according to him. He continued that Qatar must now choose either to condemn Hamas and expel it or Israel will do so.

He added that the occupation's bombardment of Doha conveys that there is no safe haven for terrorists anywhere, neither in Gaza nor in Tehran nor in Doha, as he said. For his part, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman stated that the Israeli government is rogue, driven by hatred, and sees itself above the law.

He added that the rogue Israeli government leaves no opportunity to fuel conflict, spread chaos, and generalize violence. He pointed out that in a blatant violation of international law, Israel violated Qatar's sovereignty and launched a cowardly attack on its capital.

He clarified that the Israeli government lies in all its justifications for betraying Qatar after all it has done to stop the war. He continued that Israel betrayed a country that works tirelessly with Egypt and the United States to reach a prisoner exchange deal.

Istanbul.. Conclusion of an international conference discussing the genocide in Gaza and the targeting of holy sites.

The international roundtable conference aimed at drawing attention to the genocide being committed by Israel against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the threats targeting holy sites concluded in Istanbul on Thursday.

The conference, held in collaboration with the European Muslim Forum, the Jerusalem International Foundation, the International Union of Muslim Scholars, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Studies Foundation, took place at the "Çırağan" Palace in Istanbul.

In his speech, Abu Sneina stated that Israel is carrying out an "occupation operation" against the Ibrahimi Mosque, pointing out that the mosque is currently facing assaults.

He emphasized the necessity of respecting the sanctity of holy places, noting that worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque are subjected to insults and humiliation during every search.

Abu Sneina highlighted that there are restrictions on entry and exit, and that the aim of this is to reduce the number of worshippers in the mosque.

He mentioned that the call to prayer and the act of praying are prohibited 50 to 60 times a month "under the pretext of disturbing people."

Abu Sneina expressed his gratitude to the Turkish people for their support of Palestine.

For his part, Zidan stated that Israel aims to completely Judaize Jerusalem, stressing the need for Muslim unity.

He pointed out the necessity of responding to Israel's policies regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque within the framework of the law.

Shevchenko, in turn, affirmed that Israel does not recognize the rule of law.

He mentioned that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan defends the rights of Muslims and Christians.

He stated that Turkey protects the concept of "justice" that was adopted by the Ottoman state.

Rosenberg emphasized the importance of activities aimed at stopping genocide and occupation in Palestine.

He also stressed the importance of raising one's voice against this situation, expressing his deep pain as a Jew regarding Israel's practices that have tarnished their reputation.

Rosenberg added that Israel has exploited Judaism to "justify" its crimes.

Shamir pointed out that Israel has bombed churches in Gaza, noting that "the Zionists are also fighting Christianity."

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 deaths and 163,859 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals, and famine that has claimed the lives of 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

What is the significance of the Security Council members' consensus on condemning Israel's aggression against Qatar?

A United Nations affairs expert stated that the issuance of a unanimous statement - within the Security Council - in solidarity with Qatar confirms the rejection of the Israeli aggression against an independent sovereign state.

The expert, Abdel Hamid Siam, explained in a statement that the statement emphasizes the necessity of standing with international law, as what occurred is a violation of the United Nations Charter.

Israel had launched an aggression against Qatar targeting a number of leaders of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) who were meeting to discuss a U.S. proposal to end the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

Although the political expert wished that the statement had been presidential rather than journalistic, Siam simultaneously welcomed the issuance of the statement with the unanimous agreement of all members, including the United States.

The United States has used its veto power 6 times to prevent the international council from condemning the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza.

Members of the Security Council condemned - in a press statement - the recent attacks that took place in the Qatari capital and expressed their deep regret over the deaths of civilians.

The 15 member states of the council, including the United States, agreed on the statement, which did not mention Israel as the party that carried out the attacks.

The council members affirmed the importance of stopping the escalation and stressed their support for the sovereignty of the State of Qatar.

The UN affairs expert described what happened as 'a clear-cut aggression and a complete crime.'

He added, 'In this case, this aggression is called a major war crime, which is one of the four crimes upon which the International Criminal Court is based.'

The ongoing aggression of the Israeli occupation against the city of Gaza has led to widespread destruction of infrastructure and residential areas in less than a week, in addition to the devastation that has occurred in the city since the beginning of the genocide war on October 7, 2023.

Data collected shows that the occupation has destroyed 12 residential buildings with more than 7 floors, containing about 500 apartments, resulting in the displacement and homelessness of more than 10,000 citizens.

The occupation also bombed more than 120 buildings with fewer than 7 floors (averaging 3 floors per building), leading to the displacement of over 7,200 citizens.

The occupation has partially damaged more than 500 buildings, which has deprived nearly 30,000 citizens of their homes.

UNICEF: The rate of malnutrition among children in Gaza exceeds the record high.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) stated that the rates of malnutrition among children in the Gaza Strip are increasing at an alarming pace, and that the latest data shows an unprecedented rate in August of children suffering from acute malnutrition who were examined.

The organization noted in a press release today, Thursday, that the rate across Gaza rose to 13.5% last month, up from 8.3% in July.

In Gaza City - where famine has been confirmed - the number of children undergoing treatment for malnutrition was higher, reaching 19%, compared to 16% in July.

Katherine Russell, the Executive Director of UNICEF, stated that one in five children in Gaza City was diagnosed with acute malnutrition during August and needed the life-saving nutritional support provided by UNICEF.

She pointed out that the organization managed to bring more supplies to the Gaza Strip. However, she said that the Israeli military escalation in the city forced about 10 nutrition centers to close, leaving children more vulnerable.

She emphasized the need to protect nutrition services in Gaza City and throughout the Strip, adding: "No child should suffer from malnutrition that we can prevent and treat when we can safely access and deliver aid."

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 martyrs, 163,859 injured, most of whom are children and women, and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, with famine claiming the lives of 411 citizens, including 142 children.

An Israeli analyst predicts Qatar's response to the occupation's attack.. This is what it will look like.

Israeli military writer Itai Blumenthal predicted that any potential response from Qatar to the recent Israeli airstrike in Doha would be limited and carried out via warplanes, given that Doha does not possess ballistic missiles.

Blumenthal added through the Hebrew channel "Kan 11" that these strikes could pass through the airspace of Saudi Arabia and Jordan to ensure the effectiveness of the response and reduce risks on Qatari territory, emphasizing that the main goal is to send a deterrent message to Israel after the recent airstrike.

The analyst pointed out that executing any response depends on a precise assessment of the situation and ongoing coordination with regional partners, with close monitoring of the United States' position to avoid any uncalculated escalation.

This assessment comes after statements from Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who confirmed in an interview with CNN that his country would respond to the Israeli attack, stressing that details are still under discussion with Doha's regional partners.

The Qatari Prime Minister affirmed that his country has not threatened the Israeli occupation or its people, saying: "Netanyahu always claims that we are a threat, while we are protecting our countries and peoples; none of our countries has threatened Israel or its people, so why does he claim to be a man of peace? We are at a critical moment in the Middle East, and his claim that he is reshaping the region is very dangerous and unacceptable to us."

Blumenthal explained that the statements of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in which he announced the kingdom's readiness to support any Qatari response to the Israeli occupation, reflect complete regional coordination between Doha, Riyadh, and other partner countries, enhancing Qatar's ability to send precise political and military messages without entering into an open confrontation.

The analyst confirmed that any potential Qatari move would be executed carefully to avoid any direct confrontation, focusing on deterring Israel politically and militarily, while Washington and Gulf countries closely monitor developments amid rising tensions following the recent airstrikes, in an attempt to balance deterrence with avoiding the outbreak of a comprehensive regional conflict.

Fawzi Barhoum, a leader in the movement, announced at a press conference on Thursday that "the crime of the Zionist entity is not only an assault on the sovereignty of the State of Qatar but also a barbaric declaration and a declaration of war on all our Arab and Islamic countries."

Emphasizing that "the Zionist entity endangers regional and international security."

In a notable political move, the European Parliament on Thursday called on the member states of the Union to consider recognizing the State of Palestine, emphasizing that this aims to achieve a two-state solution.

This call came as part of a non-binding resolution adopted at the Parliament's headquarters in Strasbourg, with a majority of 305 votes in favor, 151 against, and 122 abstentions.

The resolution primarily addressed the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, expressing deep concern over what it described as the 'catastrophic' situation there.

The resolution strongly condemned what it termed the 'Israeli government's blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza,' holding it responsible for causing 'famine' in the northern part of the territory.

In this context, European lawmakers urged the immediate opening of all border crossings to ensure the unobstructed flow of aid.

They also called for the urgent 'renewal of the mandate and funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA),' stressing the need for it to be under 'strict oversight,' while simultaneously expressing their rejection of the current aid distribution mechanisms.

The resolution, presented by the Social Democrats, Greens, and Renew Europe groups, was titled 'Gaza on the Edge: The EU's Action to Combat Famine, the Urgent Need to Free Hostages, and Move Towards a Two-State Solution.'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the (E1) plan this evening, Thursday, to expand the settlements established on the lands of the West Bank and surrounding occupied Jerusalem.

This colonial plan aims to isolate occupied Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings, severing the geographical and demographic connection between Jerusalem and Palestinian communities, and undermining the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The plan also seeks to expand the borders of East Jerusalem by annexing the colonial bloc of "Ma'ale Adumim" to it, which will lead to the displacement and uprooting of the residents of the Bedouin communities once again from their lands, in exchange for an increase in the number of settlers in Jerusalem at the expense of the original Palestinian citizens.

Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces raided shops and cafes in the city center, particularly on Al-Haddadin Street and Martyr Thabet Thabet Square, and around Al-Alimi Roundabout ('the courts') in the western neighborhood, arresting anyone present inside or in their vehicles, and led them on foot in long lines towards the street leading to the Khadouri military checkpoint ('Nitzani Oz') to the west.

She added that the occupation forces deployed more military vehicles and heavy bulldozers to the city, where they concentrated around Al-Alimi Roundabout, and soldiers raided homes and shops in the area, forcing them to close, and confiscated several surveillance cameras from them, while preventing the movement of citizens in the area.

The occupation forces also stormed the Arta suburb and the southern neighborhood of the city, raiding several homes, searching them, interrogating their residents, and arresting the two young men Qussam Hatim Faqih and Bilal Abu Sha'ar from their home. The Israeli occupation forces imposed a tight siege on the city this afternoon, after closing the iron military gates at its southern and eastern entrances, represented by the Jabbar Bridge gate at the southern entrance and the military Hajar Anab gates to the east, preventing the movement of vehicles through them.

The occupation forces fired live ammunition heavily towards citizens and vehicles in the western neighborhood, specifically around the 'Nitzani Oz' gate, coinciding with the sound of a massive explosion that shook the city, while the occupation prevented Palestinian ambulances from reaching the area. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed that the occupation forces prevented its crews from reaching the area.

This escalation comes amid the ongoing aggression of the occupation against the city of Tulkarem and its camps ('Tulkarem and Nur Shams'), which has entered its 228th consecutive day, amidst daily incursions and strict military measures targeting citizens and their properties.

Chalek: Israel's attack on Qatar is an aggression against all countries wishing for peace.

Omer Celik, the spokesperson for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, said on Thursday that the brutal terrorist act committed by Israel in Qatar is an aggression against all countries wishing to achieve peace and ceasefire.

This came in press statements following a meeting of the party's central committee chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the party's headquarters in the capital, Ankara.

Celik explained that "the Israeli attack on Qatar has once again proven that the genocide network ignores all rules and engages in a cunning approach to the extent that it has even ensnared the negotiating team in a trap."

He added that "the attack also proved that the main party threatening international order and law and the national security of countries is the network of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

Celik continued: "It has been unequivocally established that there is no platform to discuss other issues without stopping Netanyahu's network and holding it accountable before the law."

He stated that "this network has directly attacked negotiations, diplomacy, the ceasefire process, and calls from the international community."

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced that it had launched an airstrike on the leadership of Hamas in Doha, which sparked widespread regional and global condemnations and calls for a collective response to deter Israel.

Qatar condemned the Israeli attack, describing it as "state terrorism," affirming its right to respond to this aggression that resulted in the death of a member of the internal security forces.

Meanwhile, Hamas announced that its negotiating delegation, led by its chief in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt, while the director of his office, Jihad Labed, and his son, Hamam al-Hayya, along with three companions, Abdullah Abdul Wahid, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmad al-Mamlouk, were killed.

The attack on Qatar came despite its role as a mediator alongside Egypt, with American participation, in indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement for prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

This attack reflects Israel's expansion of its aggressions regionally, as it launched an aggression against Iran last June and has been committing genocide in Gaza for nearly two years, along with assaults in the occupied West Bank, and conducting airstrikes on Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

Urgent | Netanyahu's office: The statement by the Prime Minister of Spain that his country does not possess nuclear weapons to stop our war against Hamas is a threat to us with extermination.

The office of the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued a statement responding to the remarks of the Prime Minister of Spain, who confirmed that his country does not possess nuclear weapons, indicating that these statements represent a threat to the state of occupation.

The remarks came at a sensitive time as tensions in the region escalate due to the ongoing aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip, which intensifies the political rhetoric among countries.

This statement comes in the context of Spain's attempts to play a role in de-escalation, yet the response from the state of occupation reflects concern over any international pressures that may affect its military strategy.

Yedioth: Washington has given the green light for Israel's attack against Hamas in Doha.

The newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "Israel" announced its direct responsibility for the attack targeting a building where Hamas leadership operates in Doha, confirming that the operation would not have taken place without American approval, given the close coordination between Washington and Doha for years, and its control over Al Udeid Air Base.

The newspaper added that Israeli planes would not have breached the airspace of the emirate without a green light from the U.S., pointing to a clear threat issued by U.S. President Donald Trump to Hamas, stating: "This is my last warning," while presenting his plan for a "comprehensive deal."

It mentioned that the Qatari leadership received a strong hint from the Americans regarding the attack in the Katara neighborhood, as a spokesperson for the White House stated that "Trump did not like the location of the attack and regrets it."

The newspaper clarified that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the operation was a response to the attack in Jerusalem that resulted in the deaths of six Israelis, for which Hamas claimed responsibility.

It noted that the plan to target the movement's leadership in Qatar had been ready for some time "waiting for the right opportunity," and that "Israel" this time did not hide its responsibility and pressured to withdraw any direct American cover.

Yedioth reported that the first hours after the operation saw Israeli statements about American approval and coordination between the two countries, but afterward, Tel Aviv boasted that it was "a purely Israeli operation" led, planned, and executed by itself, amid estimates that Washington requested the withdrawal of any hint of its involvement.

The writer discussed the Katara neighborhood in Doha, explaining that it contains only 15 residential buildings, one of which houses the office of Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas leader, who also resides in the lower apartment of the building, while others from the movement live in luxurious villas "at Qatar's expense."

The newspaper added that negotiations regarding the hostages are now in jeopardy, questioning whether they would move exclusively to Egypt, or to one of the European countries, or enter into a "coma" that delays addressing the file.

It mentioned that Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani recently met with Hamas leadership in the emirate, where he urged them to respond positively to Trump's "final" plan, but the movement expressed reservations despite announcing its approval.

It pointed out that Qatar, similar to what Jordan did in 1997 after the assassination attempt on Khaled Mashal, announced its withdrawal from mediation, stating that it "stops its efforts."

Hamas announced the survival of its leadership from the targeting, but the fate of the negotiations remains unclear.

According to Yedioth, Israel was keen to emphasize that it did not attack Qatar as a state, but "Hamas on its territory," despite the absence of any commitments or agreements between them, noting that senior Israeli officials, including the head of the Mossad, the head of the Shin Bet, and three ministers, recently visited the emirate.

The newspaper concluded by referencing Qatar's strong condemnation of the attack, considering that the question raised is the position of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and whether he will withdraw from the "political game" or appear as a patron of Hamas, noting that the movement is disliked in Arab countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and even the UAE, which issued a statement strongly condemning the Ramot intersection attack in Jerusalem.

Hamas: The Doha attack is a crime and an assassination of the entire negotiation process.

The Hamas movement considered, on Thursday, that the occupation's attack on its leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha, was a "complete crime," stating that it "was not just an assassination attempt on the delegation, but a bombing and assassination of the entire negotiation process."

This came during a press conference held by movement leader Fawzi Barhoum, commenting on an attack carried out by Israel on a residential location in Doha for leaders of "Hamas" on Tuesday, which resulted in the survival of the negotiating delegation, the death of the head of the delegation's son, Khalil al-Hayya, his office manager Jihad Labed, and three companions, in addition to a Qatari security personnel.

In the press conference, Barhoum said: "This crime was not just an assassination attempt on the delegation, but it is a bombing and assassination of the entire negotiation process, and a deliberate targeting of the role of the brother mediators in Qatar and Egypt."

He explained that the attack "is a blatant confirmation from (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his criminal gang of their rejection to reach any agreement, and their insistence on thwarting all regional and international efforts aimed at stopping the genocide and starvation and ending the war against our people in Gaza."

He emphasized that the attack "clearly proves that Netanyahu and his extremist government bear full responsibility for the failure and disruption of all previous negotiation stations."

Members of an American anti-Islam motorcycle gang are managing aid distribution sites in Gaza.

  1. A BBC investigation revealed that the company guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza, by the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)," employs members of an American motorcycle gang with a history of hostility towards Islam to manage its armed security.


BBC News confirmed the identities of 10 members of a far-right extremist group that calls itself the "Infidels" motorcycle club, who are working in Gaza for UG Solutions, a private contracting company providing security at GHF's sites, where hundreds of civilians searching for food have been killed amid scenes of chaos and gunfire.


The network revealed the identities of seven gang members holding senior positions overseeing the controversial Israel-supported relief operations backed by U.S. President Donald Trump.


For its part, UG Solutions defended its employees' qualifications for the job, stating that it does not exclude individuals based on "personal hobbies or affiliations unrelated to job performance," while the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) claimed it "adopts a zero-tolerance policy for any biases or hateful or discriminatory behaviors."


It is noted that the "Infidels" motorcycle club was founded in 2006 by American veterans of the Iraq War, and its members consider themselves modern-day crusaders, using the crusader cross as their symbol - referring to Christians in the Middle Ages who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem.


The gang currently spreads anti-Muslim hate speech on its Facebook page and previously held a pig roast "defying" the holy month of Ramadan.


Edward Ahmed Mitchell, deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a leading civil rights organization in the U.S., stated: "Hiring the 'Infidels' motorcycle club to deliver humanitarian aid in Gaza is akin to hiring the racist Ku Klux Klan to deliver humanitarian aid in Sudan. This is utterly nonsensical."


It is noted that the gang's leader, Johnny "Taz" Mulford, a former U.S. Army sergeant, was punished for conspiracy to commit bribery and theft and for making false statements to military authorities. He is now the "team leader" managing UG Solutions' contract in Gaza.


BBC stated: "We emailed Infidels MC for comment. In response, Mulford asked his fellow motorcycle gang leaders not to reply, but he inadvertently included the BBC channel when he clicked 'reply all,' revealing the email addresses and names of other Infidels MC members, some of whom had worked in Gaza."


By matching names with public information about the leadership of Infidels MC and evidence from informed sources at UG Solutions who worked with them, we identified 10 members of Infidels MC recruited by Mr. Mulford to work with him in Gaza. In addition to Mulford, the network identified three leading members of the "Infidels" motorcycle gang who also hold leadership positions in UGS operations in Gaza: Larry "J-Rod" Garrett, publicly known as the vice president of the "Infidels" gang, responsible for logistics; the gang's national treasurer, Bill "Saint" Seby, who leads the security team for one of GHF's four "secure distribution sites." One of the founding members of the gang, Richard "A-Tracker" Lofton, is a team leader at another distribution site.


The network in its investigation states: "Confidential documents, open-source information, and former contractors with UGS enabled us to confirm the identities of six other motorcycle riders from the 'Infidels' gang assigned to work in Gaza. Three of them are leaders or deputy leaders of the armed security teams for the company."


UGS informed the BBC that it conducts thorough background checks on individuals and only hires individuals whose identities have been verified. However, news reports indicate that Garrett was arrested two years ago in the U.S. for driving under the influence, and he had previously been charged with driving under the influence about a decade ago. It is unknown whether either case resulted in a conviction.


Jameson Giuffoni, founder and CEO of UG Solutions, was also arrested earlier this year in North Carolina on suspicion of involvement in a hit-and-run incident and for fleeing from police to avoid arrest, according to court documents. Mr. Giuffoni, who resides in the U.S., is not a member of the Infidels MC.


 


So far, Mulford has been the only contractor with UG Solutions identified as

The occupation suffocates the West Bank with more gates and barriers.

About a year ago, the occupying army closed the main access point to the town of Idna in the southern West Bank, which connects it to the city of Hebron and the north. To this day, it continues to close the access point and shuts down every alternative dirt road that residents create to manage their daily lives.

The main entrance, closed with an iron gate, is a lifeline for the village's residents, estimated to number around 30,000. Its closure has dealt a blow to the city's economy, in addition to the loss of many lives due to delays in providing medical assistance and transporting them to hospitals in Hebron.

Coinciding with the launch of the genocide against Gaza on October 7, 2023, the occupation intensified its measures in the West Bank, deploying hundreds of checkpoints and iron gates, and this week further tightened its grip, according to Palestinian official sources.

Jaber Al-Tamizi, the mayor of Idna, says that the distance between the town and the city of Hebron to the east, via Route 35 north of the city, used to take no more than 10 minutes, but today it takes more than an hour.

He added that the repercussions of the closure manifested in human losses, citing the case of the former mayor, Jamal Al-Tamizi, a few weeks ago, who could not be transported to the hospital by ambulance, and could have reached in time if the road had been open.

The mayor points out that many residents of the town primarily rely on scrap recycling operations, and the impact of the closure has resulted in a buildup of raw materials and the inability to dispose of them except to a minimal extent.

Notably, this week, the Israeli occupying army intensified its siege imposed on Palestinian villages and cities in the West Bank by deploying more iron gates and locks.

These measures coincided with threats from Defense Minister Yoav Gallant following the Jerusalem operation last Monday, stating that there would be severe and long-term consequences for the West Bank as a result of this operation.

According to documentation from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the occupying army closed all entrances to the city of Jerusalem and the surrounding villages and towns in the last three days, imposing strict measures on the entrances to the city of Ramallah.

The occupying authorities expanded the deployment of iron gates, which are yellow gates with one or two arms and can reach a length of 20 meters, and are locked with locks for which soldiers hold the keys.
