Netanyahu’s warning to Iran Israel National News
PM addresses growing threats by Iran during cabinet meeting, says ‘whoever attempts to harm us will be harmed.
Apr 4, 2024, 8:48 PM (GMT+3) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a warning to Iran amidst increased threats from the Islamic Republic.
“For years Iran has been working against us both directly and through its proxies, and therefore Israel has been working against Iran and its emissaries, both defensively and offensively,” Netanyahu said during the ongoing security cabinet meeting this evening (Thursday).
“We will know how to protect ourselves and we will act according to the simple principle that whoever hurts us or plans to harm us, we will harm them,” the prime minister said.
Kan News reported that several Israeli embassies abroad were evacuated after a situational assessment by the Shin Bet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the possibility of an Iranian revenge plot following the assassination of a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hassan Mahdavi, in Damascus this week. Some of the Israeli representatives were moved to alternative locations and asked not to attend public events at this stage.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered some of Israel’s embassies in the world not to open their doors tomorrow. The representatives were instructed not to go to the embassies and consulates and to stay in their homes.
This morning, the IDF announced that the leave of all combat soldiers was being canceled in light of the Iranian threats.
DF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari addressed the press on Thursday and spoke about the panic-inducing warnings by the head of the IDF Intelligence Directorate about a response to the elimination of senior figures of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Syria.
“For the past half year, we have been in a multi-front war and on high alert on all fronts. We look at the threats and foil them all the time. We are constantly assessing the situation and take everything that the enemy says seriously,” Hagari stated.
He added: “We bolstered the preparedness of the combat units as needed, we reinforced the defense arrays, and we have planes ready for defense and offense in a variety of scenarios.
“IDF forces are spread out well in defense and offense arrays on all borders. We can not be complacent and at the same time, it is important to emphasize that there has been no change to the Homefront Command’s instructions. If there is a change we will update about it. My only recommendation is to be vigilant and responsible and to follow if there are changes,” he emphasized.

Ben-Gvir: Vote on aid to Gaza was stolen Israel National News
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir claims that the vote to allow increased humanitarian aid to Gaza was held in his absence to prevent him from objecting.
Apr 5, 2024, 4:35 PM (GMT+3) – National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who claimed that the Cabinet did not properly vote on increasing humanitarian aid to Gaza, was informed by the Prime Minister’s Office that the vote was held at the beginning of the meeting, contrary to the usual procedure.
Ben-Gvir demanded that his objections be added to the minutes of the meeting alongside the support of all other ministers. “Since when are votes held at the beginning of the meeting. That never happens. Votes are always happened at the end. You knew that I would be late to the security meeting. You knew that I would oppose, so you wanted to sneak the vote in at the beginning. What kind of behavior is this? This is how people act to steal critical cabinet votes.”
Last night, the Cabinet authorized the Prime Minister, Defense Minister, and Minister Benny Gantz to take steps to immediately increase humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Gaza.
“This increased humanitarian aid will prevent a disaster and is critical to ensure the continuation of the war and achieving its goals, “ the Prime Minister’s office stated.
“In light of this, Israel will allow temporary supply of humanitarian aid through Ashdod and the Erez crossing, as well as increasing Jordanian aid through Kerem Shalom.”
The Cabinet meeting took place a few hours after the conversation between Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden.
The White House published a statement after the conversation saying “President Biden spoke by telephone with Prime Minister Netanyahu. The two leaders discussed the situation in Gaza. President Biden emphasized that the strikes on humanitarian workers and the overall humanitarian situation are unacceptable. He made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete, and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering, and the safety of aid workers. He made clear that U.S. policy with respect to Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps. He underscored that an immediate ceasefire is essential to stabilize and improve the humanitarian situation and protect innocent civilians, and he urged the Prime Minister to empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay to bring the hostages home. The two leaders also discussed public Iranian threats against Israel and the Israeli people. President Biden made clear that the United States strongly supports Israel in the face of those threats.”
Two US officials stated that President Biden is likely to make military aid to Israel conditional on its efforts to improve the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, and the rapid achievement of a ceasefire. The White House denied these claims in a later statement.

After residents protest | IDF imposes lockdown on Jewish community Israel National News
After residents of Yitzhar began to march to protest the opening of the road in the area to Arab traffic, IDF and police blocked the exit from the community.
Apr 4, 2024, 10:05 PM (GMT+3) – Some 200 residents of the community of Yitzhar and surrounding communities marched on Thursday on the Gilad road in Samaria to protest the reopening of the road for Arab drivers after it had been closed since the war began.
A large police and military force arrived at the scene and attempted to prevent the march while arresting a resident who was at the event with his children.
After about half an hour, the police received an order to impose a total lockdown on the exit of Yitzhar and to block the Gilad road to Jewish traffic completely.
Residents who participated in the march condemned the lockdown that was imposed on the community.
“What is happening for all purposes is revenge,” said Ori Kirshenboim for Yitzhar, who participated in the march. “In an arbitrary and delusional decision, the forces on the ground decided to block the exit from the town of Yitzhar and the Gilad road to Jewish traffic until the march stops. While on Balfour and Kaplan (Streets) the left is burning down the country over nonsense – here they are using soviet tactics against residents who are fighting for their lives. [Emphasis added]
“Today we see that the IDF command is losing all of its values and is abandoning the road to the terrorists to give them gifts during Ramadan, the residents are left with a clear vision and understand the out-of-control and dangerous situation well,” he added.
Netanyahu to Republicans: ‘There’s an attempt to ram a Palestinian state down our throats’ Israel National News
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Thursday with a Republican Congressional delegation organized by AIPAC and told it that Israel will get the job done faster if it is given the tools to do so.
Apr 4, 2024, 9:31 PM (GMT+3) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Thursday with a Republican US Congressional delegation, which was organized by AIPAC, at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem,
During the meeting, which also included the AIPAC senior leadership, the Prime Minister briefed the delegation on the fighting in the Gaza Strip and answered the Representatives’ questions on defeating the Hamas terrorist organization, the unrelenting efforts to free the hostages, and the issue of humanitarian aid.
“I want to thank you for your support. There’s a long tradition of the American-Israeli alliance. It’s always been necessary, but it’s more necessary now in the face of the barbarism that we face, that threatens our entire civilization,” Netanyahu stated.
“This is a battle between not only Israel and Hamas, but I would say the axis of Iran, the terror axis of Iran that seeks to put the Middle East back into the Dark Ages and to force a terrible barbarism on us all, really, the Dark Ages, and its proxies, the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah and others, and Israel, the moderate Arab states and of course backed by the United States.
“That’s what this conflict is about. Everything that you’re hearing in recent years, in recent months, in recent days, and in recent hours emphasizes this basic truth. This is a larger battle. Our battle is your battle. Our victory is your victory. And if we don’t have a victory, this will have enormous implications for American security, for our common future. So we must win.” he continued.
The Prime Minister addressed the delegation: “I have three messages for you. The first is we’re going to win. Absolutely. Victory is within reach. It’s very close, and there is no substitute for victory.
“The second is that it can be made quicker. I’ll paraphrase someone you all have heard of, Winston Churchill. He said, ‘Give us the tools and we’ll do the job.’ Give us the tools faster and we’ll finish the job faster. I’m talking about the supplemental. I hope you find a way to give it as fast as you can.
“The third thing is this is, there is a contrary move, an attempt to force, ram down our throats a Palestinian state, which will be another terror haven, another launching ground for an attempt, as was the Hamas state in Gaza. That is opposed by Israelis, overwhelmingly. We just had a vote in the Knesset: 99 to 9. Do you have those kinds of numbers? I think you might have those numbers if you bring that same resolution, that same resolution to Congress. I think you’ll have a similar or at least a very powerful majority.”
Netanyahu concluded: “I think it’s important, because the people of Israel choose life, and life means security, and security means defeating our enemies, but also standing together for our common civilization.”
Also attending the meeting were Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, the Prime Minister’s Chief-of-Staff, Tzachi Braverman, National Security Council Director Tzachi Hanegbi, and the Prime Minister’s Foreign Policy Adviser, Dr. Ophir Falk.
The American participants were US Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO), US Rep. Aaron Bean (R-FL), US Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), US Rep. Laurie Chavez-Deremer (R-OR), US Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), US Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), US Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), US Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), US Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ), US Rep. Jennifer Kiggans (R-VA), US Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA), US Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY), US Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT), US Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) and US Rep. Rudy Yakym (R-IN).
MK Danon: We made a mistake when we listened to the US regarding the war in Gaza Israel National News
MK Danny Danon, member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, says Israel changed its modus operandi in Gaza – and now the world says the war is taking too long.
Apr 5, 2024, 11:06 AM (GMT+3) – MK Danny Danon (Likud), a member of the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, on Friday morning said that Israel made a mistake when it acquiesced to US requests in the war against Hamas in Gaza.
“Our mistake was made a few months ago, when we listened to the US,” Danon told Kan Reshet Bet. “We changed the modus operandi in Gaza and took our foot off the gas pedal. That brought pressure on us. Today the international community is saying that it’s taking too much time.”
Danon also responded to the Diplomatic-Security Cabinet’s decision to take immediate steps to increase the amount of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
“Unfortunately, the tragic incident in which aid workers were killed had consequences in the international arena,” he said. “There was an effect in the world and we saw that we needed to do something about it. On the other hand, if the world cares so much about Gaza, there is a port in Arish (Egypt -ed.), there are solutions to bring in humanitarian aid. We are not responsible for the Gaza Strip.”
When asked for his opinion on Minister Benny Gantz’s call to hold elections in September, Danon said, “The last thing we need right now is to set a date for elections. The people have already chosen the current leadership to lead even in a time of crisis.”
“The last thing I want is to see changes in the leadership – not in the Shin Bet chief, not the IDF’s Chief of Staff, not the commander of the [IDF’s] Southern Command, not the Defense Minister and not the Prime Minister – none should move from their positions. Changing any of them will not serve the goal of victory.”

Even the IDF is in Shock! Destruction of HAMAZ’ last hope EXPOSES IRAN’s plan for an all-out ATTACK! Raptor News
Apr 4, 2024 – As tensions between Israel, Iran and Hamas escalated, Israel launched a major operation against Hamas. This operation is recognised as a change in Israel’s war strategy. Israeli forces captured 9 senior Hamas members and neutralised 3 Hamas leaders in the West Bank and northern Gaza. This operation caused Hamas to lose its leading commanders, and after Hezbollah, Hamas also suffered serious losses. Israel’s new offensive strategy is based on a shoot-first, ask-questions-later logic, and the operation ended in victory from Beit Hanoun with an attack on Hamas tunnels with Sponge Bombs.
At the same time, Israel cancelled all permits and called all troops to duty in order to be prepared for possible Iranian retaliation. According to intelligence reports that Iran will launch a massive attack against Israel and target 4 different points with ballistic missiles, the United States has warned about the strengthening of air defence systems. Iran’s underground missile launchers were reportedly confirmed to Israel. All these developments raise concerns that a major war may break out in the near future.

OPINION….
xx Biden did not demand Hamas immediately release the hostages.
xx Biden did not demand Hamas immediately stop firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
xx Biden did not demand immediate Red Cross visits to the hostages.
The Gaza civilians are NOT ONLY human shields during combat, they are humanitarian shields against Western democracies.
▪️IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVE.. The Cabinet authorized the Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense and Minister Gantz to take immediate steps to increase humanitarian aid to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip. This increased aid will prevent a humanitarian crisis and is necessary to ensure the continuation of the fighting and to achieve the goals of the war. In light of this, Israel will allow the temporary delivery of humanitarian aid through Ashdod and the Erez checkpoint and the increase of Jordanian aid through Kerem Shalom.
The White House said: “We welcome the steps announced by the Israeli government following President Biden’s conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu.”

.. Assuta hospitals/medical centers having a computer failure – not an attack, but test results and scheduling are stuck. To be fixed soon.
.. Anonymous says they attacked the Min. Of Justice, wiped servers and stole lots of data. No confirmation.

WATCH: Son of Hamas Co-Founder Demolishes Islamist Terror Apologist So Thoroughly He Leaves Her Mouth Gaping in Shock By Cullen Linebarger
Apr. 4, 2024 6:00 pm – A terror apologist stood no chance against Mosab Yousef, the son of a Hamas commander during an episode Tuesday on Dr. Phil.
Yousef, also known as the Green Prince, grew up in the West Bank and his father was a co-founder of the Hamas terror group. He served as a Palestinian ex-militant until 1997 when he defected to Israel.
He worked as an undercover agent for the Shin Bet until he immigrated to the United States in 2007.
Yousef leans on his experience to expertly point out there is no difference between Hamas and the Palestinians on the West Bank because they support Hamas and are giving them cover. When the activist accused him of promoting colonialism, he responded by pointing out she had no authority to represent Palestinians and that she was promoting the cause of Hamas.
She was further left stunned when he responded yes to her question regarding whether Hamas and Palestinians are the same, not listening to his point at the beginning.
Yousef then dropped the hammer on her when she refused to condemn the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
The destruction was so thorough her mouth was left gaping in shock.
After Funding Jew-Hating Iranian Regime – Biden Administration Allegedly Initiates Color Revolution Against Netanyahu in Middle of Israel’s War Against Hamas Barbarians By Jim Hoft
Apr. 4, 2024 11:40 am – In November 2023, the Joe Biden administration extended a sanctions waiver that will allow Iran to collect another $10 billion in funds in order for the mullahs to fund their military operations in the region.
This comes one week after Iranian-backed Houthis attempted to shoot down a US drone in the region and one month after Iran-backed Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1,400 Jews in Israel and took another 240 Jews hostage.
It was the deadliest attack on Jews since World War II.
Joe Biden ignored the massacre in order to open the door and help Iran bring in another $10 billion in the next few months.
The AP reported:
The Biden administration has extended by four months a sanctions waiver that will allow Iraq to continue to purchase electricity from Iran and gives Iran limited access to the proceeds to buy humanitarian goods.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed the 120-day waiver extension and it was transmitted to Congress on Tuesday, U.S. officials said. The move is likely to draw criticism from Iran hawks on Capitol Hill and elsewhere who believe the extension will reward Iran at a time when it is coming under increasing pressure to end its support for proxy groups, including Hamas, that are destabilizing the Middle East.
There is roughly $10 billion in Iraqi payments for Iranian electricity currently being held in escrow accounts in Iraq, and the waiver will allow Baghdad to maintain its energy imports without fear of U.S. penalties for violating sanctions on Iran.
Joe Biden has now gifted the Iranian regime with $80 billion since entering the White House.
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told FOX News a month ago in October that Joe Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave $3.5 billion to Iran through the International Monetary Fund several months ago.
This was not part of the $6 billion that Biden recently gifted the Iranian mullahs.
Senator John Kennedy: Several months ago, it wasn’t well publicized, President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave Iran $3.5 billion through the International Monetary Fund. That’s not the $6 billion that we have objected to. $3.6 billion dollars cash. I’ll be glad to come on your show and explain how they did that. I objected to it at the time. I tried to pass a bill to stop it. They rolled over me. The press didn’t pick it up. But here’s the problem we face right now, the time to build the ark is before the rain.
But the $3.5 billion and $6 billion may be only a part of Joe Biden’s cash for Iran.
Senator Kennedy spoke out about another transfer of money to the Iranian regime back in 2021. Kennedy argued in a letter to Janet Yellen that the Biden administration’s plan would ultimately result in China receiving $22 billion, Russia receiving $18 billion and Iran receiving $3.5 billion.
But that’s not all; according to The Daily Signal’s calculations, Iran has received approximately $70 billion more under Biden than it would have under Trump.
The mullahs must love Joe Biden. No one has been more generous to this killer regime.
They ought to build statues of Old Joe in Tehran.
Now, Israel faces a new challenge by the Biden-Obama threat.
Israel now faces the threat of a Biden-Obama-backed color revolution in the middle of its war against the Hamas barbarians.

Breaking: CIA officials informed Israel that Iran would attack areas in Israel in the next 48 hours. 𝗜𝗦𝗥𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦

Terror victims can claim more compensation from the PA: ‘This is the way to defeat terrorism’ Elisha Ben Kimon
Compensation bill for families affected by terror, offset by PA funds, passes in Knesset; potential claims up to 10 million shekels from terror groups; ‘We will not rest until all the victims get what they deserve,’ says Shurat Hadin chief
|03.29.24 | 08:31 – These days, the discourse is increasing regarding the role of the Palestinian Authority, if at all, in the day after the war. Most of the attention is directed to the funds that Israel transfers to the PA, some of which go to the families of terrorists who carried out attacks against Israelis in a program nicknamed “pay for slay.”
The PA has a “rank” for each terrorist, and the payment that is transferred to his family is derived from the number of years he was sentenced to prison in Israel. The issue of payments to the families of terrorists, specifically during the war, is making some progress. Last week, the Knesset passed a bill led by Knesset member Yitzhak Pindrus, which would increase the compensation payments to families affected by terrorism and which are directly offset from the tax funds intended for the Palestinian Authority.
“The path to tort claims and striking the PA’s funds is less difficult now,” explained Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, the chairwoman of the Shurat Hadin-Israel Law Center organization that handles the claims of terror victims and their families.
In fact, the bill, which passed its third reading with a large majority, states that terror victims will be able to claim compensation from anyone who transfers funding to terrorists or terror groups and encourages attacks by paying salaries to terrorists – including the PA – and receive compensation in the amount of 10 million shekels for each victim. In doing so, the law will allow terror victims and their families to file lawsuits against those who provide wages and rewards for committing acts of terrorism, and to receive compensation.
BREAKING: NETANYAHU TO UNDERGO HERNIA OPERATION UNDER FULL ANESTHESIA By Madeleine Hubbard
Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin will serve as Acting Prime Minister during the operation.
March 31, 2024 10:48am – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to undergo a hernia operation Sunday under general anesthesia, which will leave him fully unconscious, his office said.
The hernia was discovered during a “routine” medical examination of the 74-year-old prime minister on Saturday evening, according to the prime minister’s office.
After consulting with his doctors, Netanyahu is set to be hospitalized for the surgery after close of business on Sunday.
Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister Yariv Levin will serve as Acting Prime Minister during the operation.
The hernia does not appear to have interfered with Netanyahu’s schedule on Sunday.
The prime minister and his wife, Sara Netanyahu, met Sunday in Jerusalem with the families of female soldiers who were abducted on Oct. 7, 2023, during the Hamas terrorist attack that killed about 1,200 people and resulted in the kidnappings of 250 others.
[Ed.: Hopefully, they will give him a pair of cajones (balls,) while they’re at it! So far, Bibi just cannot pull the trigger, thereby dooming his so-called “homeland of the Jews.” Because of this, Jewish blood is cheapest, in the Land of IINO. This is what we should’a, could’a, would’a done:
