🔴 ISRAEL PREPARING FOR POSSIBLE OPERATION AGAINST IRAN, SAYS DEFENSE MINISTER KATZ; ISRAEL CONSIDERS THIRD LARGE-SCALE OPERATION AGAINST HOUTHIS IN YEMEN

December 16, 2024 @ 4:10 pm ET ISRAEL REALTIME

🇮🇱 Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stated, “All our systems are preparing for an operation against Iran, as the prospects for a diplomatic solution remain slim.” The remark underscores the heightened tension and strategic readiness amid Iran’s continued nuclear advancements and regional provocations.

A senior Israeli military official revealed last week that the Air Force is preparing for its next significant mission. The official suggested that this mission may gain support from the new U.S. administration, particularly as it targets Iran, according to Haaretz.

🔹 HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Joulani stated, “I will not allow Syria to be used as a launchpad for attacks against Israel or any other state.” He emphasized adherence to the 1974 agreement, signaling willingness to return international observers to the region. Al-Joulani also expressed a desire to avoid conflict with Israel or any other party, urging Israel to stop airstrikes in Syria and withdraw from occupied territories.

♦️ Israel is growing increasingly impatient with the ongoing Houthi attacks from Yemen. The security establishment believes the situation is unsustainable, prompting serious consideration of a third large-scale operation targeting the Houthis in Yemen, as reported by Israel Hayom.

🔹 Channel 14 reports that Israel has seized approximately 30 million shekels from terrorist organizations operating in Judea and Samaria. This significant amount highlights the extensive financial backing of these groups, with ties to the Iranian regime.

Following anti-Israel policy, Israel is closing its embassy in Ireland   Hezki Baruch

Following the Irish government’s extreme anti-Israel policy, Israel has decided to close its embassy in Dublin.

Dec 15, 2024, 2:59 PM (GMT+2)  Israel National News – The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Sa’ar, gave an order today (Sunday) to open a new Israeli embassy in Moldova and to close the Israeli embassy in Ireland.

Sa’ar explained that the relations between Israel and Moldova are friendly and that both countries are interested in expanding their ties. “Moldova already has an embassy in Israel, and it is time for Israel to have an embassy in Moldova,” he stated.

Sa’ar notified the Foreign Minister of Moldova, Mihai Popșoi, of his decision to open the Israeli embassy in Chișinău, which will be carried out as early as possible in 2025. He instructed the director general of his office to find a suitable building for the Israeli embassy in Moldova and to start the process of appointing an Israeli ambassador to there. The decision to close the Israeli embassy in Dublin was made in light of the Irish government’s extreme anti-Israel policy.

The Israeli ambassador to Dublin was recalled to Israel following Ireland’s decision to unilaterally recognize a “Palestinian state.” Last week, Ireland announced that it was joining the South African court case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing Israel of “genocide.” Minister Saar stated: “The actions and antisemitic rhetoric that Ireland has adopted against Israel are based on the delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and on double standards. Ireland has crossed all red lines in its relations with Israel. Israel will invest its resources in promoting bilateral relations with countries around the world, according to priorities derived also from the attitudes of different countries towards it.”

“There are countries that wish to strengthen their ties with Israel and do not have an Israeli embassy to date. We will amend the diplomatic framework of Israel’s representations, while giving weight, among other things, to the attitude and actions of different countries towards Israel in the political arena.”

Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach) Simon Harris said in response to Israel’s decision to close its embassy in his country, “This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.”

Israel’s Biggest Enemy: How Netanyahu Is Thanked for Disabling Iran, Terrorist Groups   by Bassam Tawil
December 15, 2024 at 5:00 am

  • [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] has not earned the title “The Churchill of the Middle East” for nothing.
  • What is lethal for the country is that the judges ruled that Netanyahu must appear in court three times a week for at least six consecutive hours each time. All this when the prime minister is preoccupied with the multi-front war against Israel by Iran, its terror proxies, and now Turkey, which no doubt sees its proxy-invasion of Syria as a pathway to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s long-term dream to “liberate Jerusalem from the Jews.”
  • Some might view this judicial escapade, in cases of trumped-up charges, as political payback for Netanyahu’s having tried to reform the judicial system after he was last re-elected in 2022. The judicial reforms are desperately needed, but would diminish the absolute power that Supreme Court judges arrogated to themselves starting in the 1990s, and which they appear autocratically determined to keep.
  • Do these seemingly vindictive judges really think that Netanyahu’s cigars and champagne are not more important than Israel’s war against Iran’s “Axis of Resistance”?
  • There is no reason for the prime minister to spend several hours a day in court now, when Israel is at war and he is successfully protecting his people from enemies seeking his country’s destruction and the murder of all Jews.
  • Do these judges actually want Israel to lose the war just so they can keep their absolute power?

🟨FIGHTING WITH OURSELVES

12/15/24 @ 4:28 am ET   ISRAEL REALTIME

▪️NETANYAHU & TRUMP.. discussed Syria, Iran and Gaza last night.

▪️SOCIETAL WOES.. the Israeli news cycle the end of last week was filled with reactions to the former state attorney who called on pilots not to do IDF reserve duty, in the midst of this war for survival.  Who’s reacting, who’s reacting to the reaction, can he be called for investigation, etc.  Two days later and another news worthy statement: this time the former Chief Rabbi who said no charedim should serve in the army, even if they are idle, in the midst of this war for survival.  And the news cycle has begun: who’s reacting, who’s reacting to the reaction, can he be called for an investigation, etc.

▪️JUDICIAL WOES.. Before the war, a major point of contention with the coalition was the judicial system, which  developed over years into a judicial controlled reinforced process.  Some say this is good and appropriate, creating a checks and balance system that Israel did not have – and thereby preventing corruption and political influence in justice.  The coalition brought the position that the non-elected non-law based system (mostly judicial rulings) divorced the judicial system from the people and created a self-reinforcing class of  control that had moved to controlling the govt.

[Ed.:  IINO is run by a Judicial Oligarchy…]

Before the war this became a point of societal conflict. That paused due to the war, but the High Court placed some orders on the Justice Minister, which have arrived and are reigniting the conflict.

In particular, the Justice Minister refuses to follow the ‘custom of seniority’ for appointment of a new High Court president, the selection committee which is mostly judges and bar association refuses to not follow, the court is ordering the justice minister to appoint – he says they can’t order him to appoint, its his authority.

▪️PROTEST – ANTI-GOVT.. the Kaplan protest of Tel Aviv was sizable this weekend.  Police: “the protests are moving up a level to the stage of disobedience. Dozens of protesters violated police orders – 4 were arrested”.

🔹JORDAN’S FOREIGN MINISTER.. calls on Israel to withdraw from the Syrian Golan Heights, “we all stand by Syria in the rebuilding phase of a state that protects the rights of all citizens. We demand that Israel withdraw from the lands it has occupied.”

🔹ON ISRAEL’S SYRIA ATTACKS.. The Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel, affiliated with the Resistance Axis, on the recent IDF attacks: The occupation army completely destroyed the Syrian air defense system.  The occupation army attacked not only the strategic weapons depots but also the weapons and equipment at the intermediate levels.

🔹SYRIAN UYGHUR’s to CHINA?  (UK Telegraph) Uyghur fighters in Syria, who were part of the rebels, vow to reach China.  The Turkist Islamic Party says its main mission is to “liberate the Muslims of East Turkestan from Chinese occupation”.

🌎WORLD NEWS of relevance: 3,000 Australians marched in Sydney this morning calling on the government to immediately take the necessary measures to stop the wave of anti-Semitism.

🔥LARGE FIRE in northern Jerusalem near Kafr Aqeb.

♦️COUNTER-TERROR – A-Tabqa, near Hebron.

♦️RED ON RED – more fighting between Palestinian Authority and Jenin terror battalions.

🇮🇷🇮🇱Iranian Citizens Rename Tehran Street as “Netanyahu St, Destroyer of Evil”

In a symbolic gesture that is going viral, Iranian citizens have renamed a street in Tehran as “Netanyahu St, Destroyer of Evil.” This act highlights growing admiration among many Iranians for Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, whom they view as a hero opposing oppressive regimes and ideologies.

While these street renamings are often short-lived, they represent a powerful statement of dissent and solidarity with Israel from within Iran, a country where public admiration for Israeli leaders is heavily suppressed by the regime.
