The implications of Israel’s strike on Tuesday against Hamas leaders in Qatar are profound, and the entire Arab world has been put on notice.
SEP 09, 2025
Sometimes, history turns on a single move, a decisive play that alters the balance of power for years to come.
In the latest geopolitical chess match of the Middle East, Israel has made such a move — one that exposes the contradictions of Arab regimes, neutralizes the pressure tactics of Far-Left Europe, and underscores, once again, that Israel remains the West’s indispensable ally in the region.
In the lead-up to the United Nations General Assembly, which starts today, several Far-Left European countries threatened to “recognize” a “Palestinian state.” This symbolic gesture, meant to appease their domestic activists and to punish Israel diplomatically, was nothing new. For years, Europe has attempted to manipulate Israel through moral posturing, elevating Palestinian victimhood into a political weapon.
Yet Israel’s response was not weakness but strength: It openly mulled annexing parts of Judea and Samaria. This was not only a message to Europe but also to the Arab world: Symbolic recognition could be answered by permanent realities on the ground. Annexation would be irreversible, a reminder that Europe’s resolutions amount to empty gestures compared to Israel’s ability to draw borders in practice.
The Arab powers reacted predictably. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the two most significant players in the Abraham Accords and beyond, warned that any annexation would jeopardize normalization. It was a classic threat: choose land or peace.
But Israel has long since learned that Arab ultimatums are hollow. Normalization is not a gift Israel must beg for; it is a necessity for Arab regimes seeking technology, security, and legitimacy. The Palestinians are no longer the key to Arab foreign policy, and Arab leaders know it. Annexation, therefore, became both a bargaining chip and a test: would Arab states risk their own economic and security interests merely to posture over Palestine?
The answer was revealed soon enough.
The decisive move came not in Gaza or Judea and Samaria, but in Doha. Days after the Qatari prime minister pressed Hamas to accept a ceasefire deal, Israel struck Hamas leadership gathered in the Qatari capital — carried out with the help of heavy bombs dropped by Israeli fighter jets, within a range of 1,800 kilometers from Israel, to ensure the successful elimination of the senior officials, who were reportedly holding a meeting at the time. Drones also took part in the operation, which was dubbed “Fire Summit.” A total of 10 munitions were dropped in the attack.
The decision to eliminate Hamas senior figures in Qatar was made about a month ago, coordinated in advance with the Americans.1 According to two Israeli sources who spoke to CNN, planning accelerated in recent weeks. The IDF Operations Division initiated a secret battle procedure that included almost two days of preparation discussions, and once a week, senior figures from the Shin Bet, Military Intelligence, and the Operations Division were convened. Last night, the head of the Operations Division finally gave the green light.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, whose father, Sheikh Hassan Yousef, was a founding member of Hamas, told The Jerusalem Post: “This should have been done almost two years ago. Qatar funded Hamas for many years, and Hamas took sanctuary in Qatar. They thought that they could not be reached, and they thought they were immune.”2
The message was thunderous: Not even Qatar, the Arab state most favored by many Western politicians, was immune from Israel’s reach.
This was no ordinary strike. Qatar is home to the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East. For decades, the Qataris have funneled money into Washington and European capitals, cultivating influence with politicians — particularly Left-wing ones. As one politician has said, “You walk by the Qatari embassy in Washington, D.C., and your pockets grow fuller.”
Qatar even “gifted” Donald Trump an airplane earlier this year, and maintains deep personal ties with his envoy, Steve Witkoff, who sold his New York hotel to the Qatar Investment Authority for nearly $623 million in 2023. Witkoff and the Qatari prime minister recently met in Paris to discuss the ceasefire deal, evidence of Qatar’s relentless attempts to position itself as the indispensable broker in the region.
Yet none of that stopped Israel. Not even the symbolism of violating Qatari sovereignty (and by extension, the prestige of the West’s Arab darling) deterred the Jewish state. And crucially, Trump did not stop it either.
While authorizing the strike on Hamas’ leadership in Qatar, IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir said Israel will “settle accounts with our enemies” anywhere in the world. “These are the terrorists whose only aspiration was to be the spearhead for the destruction of the State of Israel. We will continue to carry out this mission everywhere, at any range, near and far.”
“We are settling a moral and ethical account on behalf of all the victims of October 7th,” added Zamir. “We will not rest and we will not be silent until we bring back our hostages and defeat Hamas.”
The implications are profound. The strike was not merely about Hamas leaders; it was about the hierarchy of alliances in the Middle East. Europe can threaten recognition, the Arabs can threaten normalization, and Qatar can spend lavishly to buy influence. But when the dust settles, Israel is the West’s number-one ally in the region — militarily, technologically, morally.
By striking in Doha, Israel forced the world to reckon with an uncomfortable truth: The Arab regimes are pawns, not kings. Their threats carry weight only when Israel allows them to. Europe can gesture in the halls of the UN, but it is Israel that acts decisively on the ground. And when American interests are tested, it is not Qatar’s money or Saudi Arabia’s oil that ultimately prevails; it is Israel’s reliability as a partner.
This is not the first time Israel has shifted the board with bold, decisive action. In 1976, Israel stunned the world with Operation Entebbe, flying commandos thousands of miles to rescue hostages in Uganda, humiliating Arab-backed terrorists and proving that Jews would never again be passive victims.
In 1981, Israel bombed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor, an act universally condemned at the time but vindicated years later as having prevented a nuclear-armed Saddam Hussein. In 2007, Israel quietly destroyed Syria’s secret nuclear reactor, again defying international opinion but protecting the region — and the world — from catastrophe. Each time, Israel acted without waiting for international approval.
Each time, it was proven right by history.
The Doha strike belongs to this lineage: a bold, risky action that demonstrates Israel’s will and capability to act in defense of its people, regardless of the diplomatic consequences.
The “Palestinian” card, once the centerpiece of Arab diplomacy, is collapsing. For decades, Arab states used the Palestinian cause as a bludgeon to extract concessions from the West and to keep their own populations pacified.
But the Abraham Accords, Morocco’s normalization, and Saudi Arabia’s quiet engagement with Israel show that the old playbook no longer works. The Palestinian issue is not the center of gravity it once was; it is a declining asset. The Doha strike symbolizes this collapse: Hamas, once paraded as the face of “resistance,” is now a hunted liability, even in the capitals of its patrons. Israel has forced the Arab world to face the truth: The Palestinians no longer define the region’s future.
Europe, meanwhile, continues to labor under the illusion of relevance. Its threats of “recognition” are pure theater, detached from the realities on the ground. The European Union is divided, its militaries weakened, and its economies dependent on external powers. NATO’s shield is American, not European.
For Israel, Europe’s recognition schemes carry no weight, because they are unenforceable. By mulling annexation in response, Israel flipped the script: What Europe intends as punishment becomes Israel’s opportunity to enshrine permanent borders. Europe threatens paper; Israel answers with reality.
In contrast, America’s reliance on Israel is rooted in hard interests. Israel provides unmatched intelligence on Iran, Hezbollah, ISIS, and global jihad. Israel develops technologies in cyber, defense, and AI that are vital to the U.S. military-industrial complex. And Israel provides something no Arab state can offer: stability and moral clarity in a region otherwise defined by coups, dictatorships, and shifting alliances.
The Doha strike, conducted under Trump’s watch without objection, underscores that when American and Israeli interests align, Arab states’ complaints are noise. Washington will never choose Doha over Jerusalem, because Doha can buy influence, but Israel delivers results.
Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates now find themselves in a trap of their own making. They have tied normalization to conditions such as “no annexation,” but these conditions are unenforceable. They need Israeli technology, intelligence, and access to Washington far more than Israel needs them. Israel just proved it can act without fear of losing Arab ties, because those ties are dictated not by Palestinian theatrics, but by Arab necessity. By striking in Doha, Israel demonstrated that Arab threats of walking away from normalization are bluffs. The Arabs cannot afford to lose Israel.
And perhaps most importantly, the symbolism of the strike carries enormous psychological weight. To Hamas, it said: Nowhere is safe, not even in the heart of your Qatari sanctuary. To Qatar, it said: Your money and influence cannot shield you from accountability. To Europe, it said: Your recognition games will not restrain Israeli action. To the Arab world, it said: Your threats of halting normalization are hollow. This is the essence of psychological warfare, reshaping the calculations of every adversary simultaneously.
In chess, checkmate is the moment when every escape route is cut off, when the opponent is forced to concede. That is what has happened here. Europe’s recognition ploy, the Arabs’ normalization threats, and Qatar’s cultivated influence — all have been cornered. Israel showed that it will not be bullied by diplomatic theater, Arab leverage, or Qatari money. It can annex if it chooses. It can strike anywhere, even in the heart of America’s Arab protectorate. And it can do so while maintaining the confidence of Washington.
Israel’s enemies still cling to the old playbook of boycotts, UN resolutions, and empty threats. But the board has changed. With every decisive move, from annexation debates to striking terrorists in the heart of Arab capitals, Israel shows that it is the immovable center of the Middle East order.
The Palestinians have lost their leverage, the Europeans their credibility, and the Arab regimes their veto power. Israel is no longer playing defense. It is dictating the game. And the world will have to adjust to the reality that the Jewish state is not just surviving. It’s winning.

❌ Qatar’s Foreign Ministry dismissed the White House’s assertion that Witkoff had informed Doha about Israel’s strike. Officials insisted the American call came only after explosions were already echoing across the capital.
According to Axios, US forces spotted Israeli jets heading east toward the Gulf on Tuesday morning and requested clarification. However, by the time Israel responded, missiles were already in flight.
Qatar’s Prime Minister stated that Israeli weapons used in the attack slipped past radar systems, exposing what he described as a dangerous escalation.
The sudden strike shocked the White House and infuriated some of President Trump’s senior advisers. The timing was especially sensitive, as Washington was awaiting Hamas’s response to President Trump’s new peace proposal for Gaza.
Observers questioned why Qatar continues to host individuals internationally recognized as terrorists, raising broader concerns about Doha’s policies in the region.
Qatar’s Ministry of Interior confirmed that a Qatari security officer was killed in the Israeli attack.
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani announced that Qatar will pursue international legal measures against Israel. A dedicated legal team has already been formed, and messages were sent to the UN Security Council.
In his sharpest criticism yet, the Qatari Prime Minister declared: “Netanyahu is a rogue and he practices state terrorism.” He added that Qatar “reserves the right to respond” but stopped short of clarifying whether that would be legal or military action. He suggested that if a military move were made, it would likely be coordinated in advance through US-Israel channels to avoid escalation.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry concluded that Israel’s attack was meant to send a message: “No one is safe in the region.”
⭕ The Houthis in Yemen claimed responsibility for launching a ballistic missile at Israel this evening, saying they targeted “several sensitive targets” in the Jerusalem area with a cluster-bomb warhead. According to the IDF, the missile was successfully intercepted, and no casualties or damage were reported.
Despite the official all-clear, confusion spread among residents in the Jerusalem Hills. After the standard ten minutes in shelters, people were told it was safe to step out. Many, however, said they continued hearing explosions overhead and were unsure whether they should return to shelter. This raised concerns that cluster munitions—known to scatter submunitions even after interception—may require updated safety guidelines.
The Houthis, backed by Iran, have repeatedly targeted Israel with cluster-armed missiles in recent weeks.
In addition to the missile, the group also claimed responsibility for firing three drones earlier today. They said the drones targeted Ramon Airport and two “vital sites” in the Eilat area. The IDF confirmed intercepting one drone over southern Israel, while the other two likely fell short of reaching the country.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported in today’s attacks, but the pattern of repeated missile and drone fire highlights the persistent danger Israel faces from Yemen.
🔴 Police report that shots were fired at a vehicle near Yad Mordechai Junction in southern Israel, close to the border with the Gaza Strip. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Officers have been dispatched to comb the area and have established roadblocks around the scene. “The circumstances of the incident are under investigation,” police add.

HUGE WAR UPDATE – ISRAEL ATTACKED HAMAS IN QATAR
September 9, 2025 Israel Video Network – Pulse of Israel
The IDF just announced a precise strike in Doha, Qatar that eliminated senior Hamas leadership, the very architects of the October 7th massacre.

Mohammad Ismail Darwish

Israel just took out the entire Hamas leadership, who were living like Kings with billion dollar bank accounts, under the protection of Qatar!
But here’s the real story behind the headlines: this means the U.S. finally gave Israel the green light to hit Hamas targets in Qatar! This is HUGE! Unless of course it was Qatar that secretly gave permission for the strike due to pressure from the US.
But, bare with me as I lay out the facts…
Qatar literally funded Hamas together with Iran. Qatar is responsible for October 7th. These butchers were operating freely from Doha, under the protection of a regime that Washington has been absurdly treating as a “neutral mediator.” Neutral? Qatar was writing the checks, fueling the ideology, and sheltering the masterminds of the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
From the very first day of the war, Israel should have threatened Qatar directly: have Hamas release our hostages or face direct consequences. Instead, our leaders allowed Qatar to play the role of “neutral mediator” while it was the very sponsor of the terror we’re fighting. That was a catastrophic mistake.
Qatar is also the mother ship of the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood, and global jihad. It bankrolls terror in the Middle East and around the world while simultaneously funneling billions into U.S. universities, DC think tanks, and politicians on both sides of the aisle, corrupting American democracy from within to destroy America.
Hopefully, this strike is not just an Israeli victory. It’s a crack in the façade that Qatar is a “partner” of the United States. It’s a message that the Jewish state will no longer tolerate Hamas masterminds living comfortably under Qatar’s protection while ordering the slaughter of Jews.
Make no mistake: Israel is fighting not only for its survival, but for the survival of the entire freedom-loving world. Taking out Hamas leaders in Qatar is a step toward exposing, and dismantling, the dangerous network of terror and corruption that threatens both Jerusalem and Washington, from Qatar.
There is much work to do to end the jihadi evil originating from Qatar.
It’s time the world stopped pretending Qatar is an ally, while it’s really an extremely successful slimy enemy.
In the meantime, Israel will continue doing what we have to do to put an end to the evil genocidal jihadi Muslim enemy that is out to destroy Israel and the whole freedom-loving world, whether the Western world supports us or not.
Am Yisrael Chai!!!

From Pagers to Eyeglasses: Israel’s Next Frontier in Covert Warfare? By Mordechai Sones
Strategic analysis of technological feasibility, legal ramifications, and geopolitical drivers behind potential weaponization of optical devices, one year after 2024 Hezbollah pager attacks
September 8, 2025 Jewish Home News
A New Paradigm in Asymmetric Warfare
In September 2024, the world watched as Israel executed one of the most audacious and technologically sophisticated covert operations in modern history. The simultaneous detonation of thousands of pagers across Lebanon and Syria dealt a stunning blow to Hezbollah’s command-and-control infrastructure.

A New Paradigm in Asymmetric Warfare
The Pager Precedent: A Blueprint for Supply-Chain Dominance
The Technological Leap: The Science of Transparent Munitions
A Long History: The Pursuit of Blinding and Directed-Energy Weapons
The Legal and Ethical Battlefield: A High-Stakes Gamble
Innovation, Necessity, and Moral High Ground
The attack, a masterclass in supply-chain infiltration, did more than just disrupt an adversary; it signaled a paradigm shift in asymmetric warfare. By turning a common electronic device into a weapon, Israel demonstrated a new doctrine: the mass weaponization of commercial technology.
Now, one year later in the autumn of 2025, a pressing question emerges from the strategic fallout: what comes next? As tensions with Iran and its proxies continue to dominate mainstream news, speculation has turned to an even more ubiquitous and personal item: eyeglasses and contact lenses.
The concept, while seemingly drawn from espionage fiction, warrants serious analysis. Based on established technological precedents, current materials science research, and Israel’s long-standing security doctrine, the development of explosive optical devices is not only plausible but represents a logical next step in this new era of warfare.
The Pager Precedent: A Blueprint for Supply-Chain Dominance
To grasp the potential for weaponized eyewear, one must first appreciate the strategic success of the pager operation. It was not merely an act of sabotage but the culmination of a years-long intelligence effort to achieve supply-chain dominance. Reports indicate that Mossad, likely through front companies, orchestrated the manufacturing of pagers with minuscule quantities of PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) integrated into their batteries. The explosive, a potent and near-transparent compound when purified, evaded detection.
The operation’s true genius lay in its exploitation of an enemy’s operational security measures. Hezbollah had adopted pagers to avoid Israeli signals intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities that effectively tracked cellular phones. Israel turned this strength into a catastrophic vulnerability. The synchronized detonation, reportedly triggered by a sophisticated broadcast signal, created chaos, sowing paranoia and crippling the organization’s ability to coordinate.
For Israeli strategists, this confirmed a powerful new doctrine: if an adversary’s communication or logistical network can be physically infiltrated at the source, it can be neutralized with unprecedented precision and scale. Eyewear, with its complex global supply chain originating largely in Asia and distributed worldwide, presents a similar and arguably more intimate target.
The Technological Leap: The Science of Transparent Munitions
The primary technical hurdle is the creation of a stable, transparent explosive that can be molded into an optical-grade lens without compromising its explosive power. While traditional explosives like C-4 are opaque, advancements in materials science are closing this gap.
The pager attacks utilized PETN, a crystalline substance. For a lens, the ideal material would be an amorphous explosive. Unlike crystals, which have an ordered molecular lattice that scatters light and causes opacity, amorphous solids have a disordered structure, much like glass, allowing light to pass through.
Declassified research from institutions like the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal, dating back to 2016, reveals long-standing military interest in developing transparent energetic materials using nanotechnology. The goal has been to alter the molecular structure of explosive compounds to achieve clarity without sacrificing stability or power.
More recently, research from institutions like Purdue University into “switchable explosives”—compounds that remain inert until activated by a specific trigger, such as sound or light frequency—points toward dual-use materials that could function as a lens until armed.
Israel’s deep investment in nanotechnology and its advanced defense firms, such as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, place it at the forefront of this field. Rafael’s work on hypersonic interceptors, which rely on sophisticated infrared seekers and miniaturized explosive warheads, demonstrates a mastery of integrating advanced optics with energetic materials. The incremental steps from a mostly-hidden explosive like PETN in a battery to a fully transparent amorphous explosive in a lens are scientifically significant but represent a clear developmental trajectory.
A Long History: The Pursuit of Blinding and Directed-Energy Weapons
The concept of using advanced technology to blind an adversary is not new; it is a well-established, if controversial, field of military research. Long before the idea of explosive lenses, the world’s major powers invested heavily in directed-energy weapons designed to disable optics—both human and electronic. This history provides a crucial strategic precedent for any operation targeting an enemy’s vision.
As early as March 1982, the U.S. Army Missile Command awarded a $27 million contract to develop ROADRUNNER, a vehicle-mounted, high-energy laser intended to find and destroy the sensitive optical sensors of enemy weapon systems. While its primary mission was anti-sensor, its potential to cause permanent blindness in soldiers was an undeniable and alarming capability. ROADRUNNER was part of a broader Cold War-era push into tactical laser systems, a field that eventually led to the Forward Area Laser Weapon System (FALWD) and other programs aimed at protecting troops by disabling incoming threats.
The very real possibility of these technologies being used as anti-personnel blinding weapons sparked significant international concern. This culminated in the 1995 Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons (Protocol IV to the CCW), a landmark arms control treaty that preemptively banned weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision. The protocol did not ban lasers outright, but it made the intent to blind illegal.
Today, this legacy continues with the development of modern High-Energy Laser Weapon Systems (HELWS). While publicly designated for countering drones, rockets, and mortars, these systems operate on the same principles as their predecessors. A laser powerful enough to burn through a drone’s airframe is more than capable of causing irreversible eye damage.
This technological duality—publicly stated anti-materiel purpose versus inherent anti-personnel capability—keeps the issue relevant and demonstrates a persistent military interest in weaponized light. This decades-long pursuit establishes that targeting vision is a consistent theme in modern warfare, making the idea of weaponized eyewear a technologically advanced continuation of an old strategic goal.
The Legal and Ethical Battlefield: A High-Stakes Gamble
The deployment of weaponized eyewear would provoke an international legal firestorm far exceeding that of the pager attacks. The pager operation already drew condemnation for violating international humanitarian law (IHL). UN experts and human rights organizations argued the attacks constituted an illegal use of booby-traps under Amended Protocol II of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), which prohibits targeting “apparently harmless portable objects.”
Weaponized lenses would be a more profound challenge to the core principles of IHL:
Distinction: How could the weapon distinguish between a combatant and a civilian family member who might borrow the glasses? The inability to make this distinction would lead to accusations of indiscriminate attacks.
Perfidy: This is the act of killing or injuring an adversary by feigning protected status. Using an object associated with civilian life and medical need to deliver an attack would almost certainly be classified as perfidy under the Geneva Conventions.
Proponents of such an operation would argue that it is a legitimate tactic when used against military targets, such as a known enemy unit whose members are all issued compromised eyewear. They would frame it as a proportional response that minimizes collateral damage compared to an airstrike. However, this legal defense would be tenuous and would likely fail to persuade international bodies like the International Criminal Court (ICC), further isolating Israel politically.
Innovation, Necessity, and Moral High Ground
As of late 2025, there is no public evidence that Israel has developed or deployed explosive eyewear. However, the strategic logic is undeniable. In its decades-long shadow war with Iran and its proxies, Israel has consistently prioritized technological superiority and covert action to offset its quantitative disadvantages.
The 2024 pager attack was not an endpoint but a declaration of a new capability. The convergence of a proven operational blueprint, advancing materials science, and a persistent existential threat makes the pursuit of even more discreet weapon systems a near certainty.
For Israel, the challenge is not merely technical but profoundly strategic: it must weigh the tactical advantages of such innovations against the immense political and legal costs. Deploying a weapon that so intimately blurs the line between civilian objects and military hardware would be a gamble for its very legitimacy on the world stage.
As technology continues to evolve, the question for Israel is not just “Can we do this?” but “Should we?”—a question that will define the character of its defense and its place in the world for years to come.

🔴 Horrific Attack in Jerusalem: CCTV footage from a bus stop in Jerusalem shows the terrifying moments of this morning’s terror attack. Two gunmen opened fire on civilians at Ramot Junction, killing six people. An off-duty IDF soldier, a squad commander in the new ultra-Orthodox Hasmonean Brigade, engaged the attackers and was joined by another armed civilian. Together they shot and killed both terrorists on the scene.
❗️ Infiltration Through Seam Line Fence: Initial investigations suggest the attackers were ISIS terrorist who crossed into Israel through a long-known breach in the seam line fence. The barrier, designed to prevent such infiltrations, has become riddled with holes and torn sections. Many breaches remain unrepaired or are reopened soon after patching.
For years, residents and security officials have warned: “The fence exists on paper, but in fact it has become a free passage.” Criminals and infiltrators exploit these gaps daily, and now terrorists have taken advantage of this failure. The attack highlights an urgent security breakdown that continues to endanger Israeli lives.
⚠️ IDF Operational Response: Following the attack, IDF soldiers and Israel Police launched a joint manhunt in the area. Troops quickly encircled villages near Ramallah, where the attackers are believed to have originated.
Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir held a high-level situational assessment with senior commanders, including Deputy Chief MG Tamir Yadai and Central Command head MG Avi Bluth. He ordered:
– Reinforcement of IDF presence in Judea and Samaria
– Intensified counter-terror operations
– Continued focus on the war effort in Gaza
– Encirclement of areas linked to the attackers
In light of ongoing operational developments, the Chief of Staff postponed both an internal personnel review and the planned Ceremony for Excellence scheduled for this evening.
🕯️ Mourning the Victims:
Authorities released the names of four victims of the Jerusalem attack:
– Rabbi Levi Yitzhak Pash, rabbi at the Kol Torah yeshiva
– Yaakov Pinto, 25, a recent immigrant from Spain
– Rabbi Yosef Dovid, 42
– Yisrael Mastner, 28, a Kollel student
Funerals for some victims are taking place this afternoon. May their memories be a blessing, and may their families be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
⚔ Political Response Abroad: Speaking in Hungary, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar strongly condemned international pressure for Palestinian statehood: “We completely reject the current attempts to force Israel to accept a Palestinian terror state in the heart of our small country. The terrorists today came from the Palestinian Authority territories. The establishment of such a terror state would have one goal – the destruction of the State of Israel.”
Palestinian sources reported Israeli security activity in Qatanna, northwest of Jerusalem—the hometown of one of the terrorists.

Secretary-General of the Arab League: ‘We will stop intentions of annexation’ Dalit Halevi
Arab foreign ministers declare that annexing Palestinian territories would cross a red line, warning that such a move would undermine regional security and block any attempt at future cooperation with Israel.
Sep 5, 2025, 4:43 PM (GMT+3) Israel National News
Ahmed Abu al-Riz, Secretary-General of the Arab League, said that the Arab foreign ministers have agreed to work diplomatically to bring about an end to Israel’s “war of annihilation,” as they defined it, against the Palestinian people and to defend the Palestinian state project.
In a joint press conference with the Minister of State of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Khalifa al-Marar, at the end of the Arab League Council meeting held at the level of foreign ministers in Cairo, Abu al-Riz said that Egypt and Saudi Arabia had submitted a draft resolution regarding cooperation between Arab states against a possible Israeli intention to harm the sovereignty of Arab states.
In addition, the Arab states intend to work to promote a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians, “as it is the only way to end regional tensions and move to a new horizon of stability and prosperity.”
The Arab foreign ministers called for an end to the Israeli occupation of Arab lands, and agreed that Israeli policy violates the boundaries of a war of “annihilation” and amounts to an attempt to destroy the Palestinian problem, expel the Palestinian people and take steps to annex Judea and Samaria.
They stressed that arrangements for regional cooperation and coexistence between the countries of the region must not be relied upon as long as the Israeli occupation of Arab lands continues or there is a veiled threat of occupation or annexation of other Arab lands.
The UAE Minister of State said that annexing the West Bank or occupied Palestinian lands is a red line and carrying out such an action would harm regional security.

Report: UAE weighing leaving Abraham Accords
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, discussed exiting Abraham Accords, permanently nixing normalization, if Israel annexes Judea and Samaria.
Sep 6, 2025, 10:09 PM (GMT+3) Israel National News – A source in the Saudi royal family has told Kan News that the President of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince agreed in their most recent meeting to act if Israel annexes Judea and Samaria.
According to the source, if Israel applies sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, the UAE countries will consider exiting the Abraham Accords.
The source also said that Saudi Arabia is warning that such a step could permanently end the possibility of a future normalization agreement with Israel.
The Abraham Accords were signed in 2020 between Israel, the UAE, and Bahrain. Soon afterwards, Morocco and Sudan also joined the agreement.
The accords were backed by the Biden administration, but it was unable to expand them with additional countries, despite efforts to persuade Saudi Arabia to join.

[Ed.: Whether or not Israel declares sovereignty over Judea/Samaria is none of UAE or Saudi Arabia’s business. Whether or not they quit the Abraham accords is inconsequential, since the Abraham Accords (obviously) are no more than a ruse, and meant nothing (have been worthless) in the first place.]
POST SHABBAT WAR UPDATE Avi Abelow
September 6, 2025 Israel Video Network – Pulse of Israel
GAZA
The IDF has officially begun its final (hopefully) all-out offensive to destroy our Islamonaz*I enemy in Gaza and free our remaining hostages once and for all.
Massive bombardments. Strategic building demolitions. Hamas infrastructure is being turned into dust.
Gazans are fleeing Gaza City, just as the IDF warned them, because no other army in the world gives civilians the chance to evacuate humanitarian zones before striking terror targets.
What does Hamas do in response?
They announced they are moving the hostages into the IDF’s strike zones, another move of emotional blackmail, trying to manipulate the Israeli public via the willing mainstream media to stop the IDF offensive and stall their inevitable defeat.
But this time it won’t work. The Israeli people are behind this war until the end, until Hamas is wiped off the face of the Earth.
EGYPT
Netanyahu is finally calling out the hypocrisy of the Arab world. In a sharp rebuke to Egypt, he accused Cairo of “imprisoning” Gazans by sealing the Rafah crossing and refusing to abide by international asylum law.
Egypt says it will not allow “displacement” of Gazans and once again accuses Israel of genocide, while refusing to open their own border to save “their brothers”.
The insane thing the world is silent as Egypt refuses to abide by international asylum law and allow the Gazan refugees to escape the war zone.
The double standard is over. Israel is done playing their game.
🇱🇧LEBANON
The US has issued a clear ultimatum to Lebanon: Disarm Hezbollah, or else…
Let’s be real, that won’t happen. Why? Because a huge portion of the Lebanese army is Shiite Muslims, like Hezbollah, and they won’t turn their guns on their Hezbollah “brothers”.
So let’s stop pretending: Israel will have to return to Southern Lebanon, the Jewish tribal lands of Dan & Naftali,and only full liberation up to the Litani River will bring true security to Israel from the entrenched Shiite Hezbollah population in Lebanon.
It’s not a question of if, it’s only a matter of when Israel takes care of Hezbollah in Lebanon, as they have used the past year to quietly rebuild and rearm on our Nortgern border.
SYRIA
The Sunni jihadist forces under Jolani are continuing to slaughter Druze, Kurds, and Alawites in Southern Syria. The world says nothing.
Make no mistake: Israel will have to remain in Southern Syria, Jewish tribal lands of Menashe. To protect minorities. To protect our borders. To protect ourselves.
Even Tom Barrack, the U.S. envoy to Lebanon & Syria, admitted this when he said:
“In Israel’s mind, these lines that were created by Sykes-Picot are meaningless. They will go where they want, when they want, and do what they want to protect the Israelis and their borders.”
The Big Picture:
Yes, things are moving slower than we all want. But make no mistake, Israel is winning this war on all fronts.
And despite Netanyahu’s hopes to end this with Trump-style diplomacy and avoid territorial expansion… the facts on the ground are making it clearer every day:
– Victory will come through strength, military victory.
– Security will come only when we return to and hold our ancestral, biblical lands.
– Peace will come when our enemies are defeated, not appeased.
We will win.
We will be stronger.
We will see the implementation of Trump’s emigration plan.
We will make Gaza Jewish again.
We will have sovereignty in Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
We will make Israel bigger, despite our own leaders efforts to use diplomacy to stop us from being bigger. We are witnessing the synchronization of reality and the spirituality.
Strengthen your faith in Hashem! Things are happening…
Am Yisrael Chai!!!
On the Intervational front – ENGLAND
The UK has just appointed its first-ever Muslim Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood. This isn’t about diversity. This is about a clear ideological shift, and it should deeply concern every freedom-loving citizen, especially Jews.
Let’s be clear: Mahmood openly declared “Islam is who I am.” She hails from Birmingham, now an Euro-Muslim city, with 30% Muslim population as of 2021 census.
Now let that sink in.
Mahmood is now in charge of:
– British police
– Counter-terrorism
– Immigration (prepare for a flood?)
– Surveillance (against whom? Patriots?)
National security
– And yes, the protection (or betrayal?) of British Jewry
This is not Islamophobia, this is about seeing reality for what it is, and screaming out the danger to Western civilization and protecting the Jewish communities who are once again being told to keep their heads down, or else.
Jews are being attacked in London’s streets, and now the same ideological camp that refuses to even say “Islamist terror” is in charge of defending them?
This is the future that awaits all of Western Europe, unless people wake up.
