“There is not a house here in which we didn’t find at least 5 improvised explosive devices waiting,” said Rotem.

“The holes create a network between the buildings,” he explained, as the stench of death hung in the air. “The terrorists here know how to set up ambushes in killing zones in alleys, in yards.”

“We met an enemy that is a bit more determined and ready,” explained one of the company commanders. “We took them apart very quickly. But it was a system that functioned. When a drone appeared, so did mortars or rockets. If there was sniper fire, then there was an RPG.”

Warning: Graphic Depictions of Violence: NOVA  [VIDEO  54:20]   By Pamela Geller

May 26, 2024 – Here is footage recorded by Hamas themselves, victims and first responders at the Nova festival on 7th October. Unimaginable carnage and violence, all to the constant screams of “allahu akbar!”

This film should be projected on buildings, screens, arenas, ‘encampments’, college graduation ceremonies all across the country. It should be projected onto the UN building and down at the World Trace Center.

Horrifying but must be seen.

Attorney General: ICC prosecutor disregards Israel’s legal system

AG Baharav-Miara criticizes ICC Chief prosecutor Karim Khan for ignoring that Israel can investigate itself and creating moral equivalence with Hamas, and the ICJ attempt to charge Israel with genocide.

May 27, 2024, 4:26 PM (GMT+3) Israel National News – Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara condemned International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan today (Monday), one week after Khan announced that he is seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The attorney general accused Khan of ignoring the strength and ability of Israel’s legal system during an address at the annual Israel Bar Association conference in Eilat.

“The decision of the prosecutor ignores, among other things, the fact that the Israeli legal system has proved its independence in the past, its impartiality, and its commitment to the values of truth and justice,” Baharav-Miara said.

“We do not shy away from enforcing the law against any person, even the heads of the military and the state if there are well-founded suspicions of violations of the law. We examine and will examine thoroughly suspicions of illegal actions. We don’t need outside help to clarify suspected criminal activity.” she added.

Baharav-Miara noted that “the states that established the [ICC] saw it as a tool for dealing with situations where there is ‘no law and no judge.’ That is not our situation.”

She further accused Khan of disregarding “the basic legal idea on which the court was founded, the principle of complementarity,” in his seeking warrants against Israeli leaders.

She also noted that Israel faces “unprecedented challenges” in facing an enemy such as Hamas which “abuses in a manipulative manner Israel’s commitment to [international] laws,” challenges that were likewise ignored by Khan.

“Equating the State of Israel’s political leadership to Hamas murderers is a moral failure,” she said.

According to the attorney general, “It would have been more correct for the prosecutor to wait until the internal state procedures were completed before making a decision. It would have been right to give the State of Israel a fair opportunity in this regard.”

Baharav-Miara also criticized the case South Africa brought to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) attempting to accuse Israel of genocide, calling the case “outrageous,” “baseless,” and a “cynical and illegitimate use of the court’s procedures.”

“Hamas is a genocidal organization that murders Israelis and Jews because of who they are. It is carrying out abominable war crimes at this very moment. Hamas is responsible for the suffering of Gaza’s residents, it does not take care of them. It has invested massive sums in building terrorist infrastructure and uses civilians as human shields,” she said.

‘The policeman pushed me forcefully and I fell on my face’   Itzik Brandewein

“My entire face hurt and they gave me stitches in the hospital,” Rabbi Avraham Kroizer recounted. When asked if he would forgive the policeman, he responded: “If he repents, then by all means.”

May 27, 2024, 3:45 PM (GMT+3) INN – Rabbi Avraham Kroizer, 80, who was violently thrown to the ground by a policeman in Meron last night (Sunday), detailed this morning the sequence of events until he was thrown to the ground.

“I was there to see if they would open the barricades or not, and in the meantime, I sat on the side and read chapters of Psalms,” Rabbi Kroizer Behadrei Haredim.

He explained how he got to the place: “I thought that maybe they would open the barrier for me to cross later, because a few moments earlier, I saw an old man accompanied by his two children being allowed to pass. So, I thought they would allow me as well, considering I am also old.”

“But the policemen told me that they would not let me pass, so I made my way back to the place on the side where I was,” he continued. “While I was making my way back, the policeman ran behind me and while running, he shouted at me that he would not allow me to return to where I had been, and then while running, he pushed me forcefully and I fell on my face.”

“My entire face hurt and they gave me stitches in the hospital,” he added. When asked if he would forgive the policeman, he responded: “This is a personal matter of mine. If he repents, then by all means, just let him not repeat these actions.”

In the last 24 hours, there have been violent clashes between policemen and visitors who tried to force their way up to Meron. Disturbing footage published last night showed policemen pushing Rabbi Kroizer hard enough to send him flying before falling on his face.

In another incident, a policeman is seen drawing his gun and firing into the air during a confrontation with citizens who went up to Meron. Footage of that incident shows a policeman punching a haredi man who tried to pass and afterwards drawing his gun and firing into the air, allegedly without any perceivable threat to his life.

Yet another video shows a female officer beating and kicking women who were trying to reach the compound.

Minister Ben-Gvir spoke with the Border Police Commander and the two agreed that all three officers will be suspended pending an investigation.

Concerns of October 7 copycat massacre in central Israel increase

Hamas publishes footage of fire on Jewish towns, at a time when local security squads are significantly diminished.

May 27, 2024, 3:15 PM (GMT+3) Israel National News – A video clip showing a serious security breach was aired Monday morning, reinforcing concerns that an October 7 copycat attack could take place in central Israel.

The video clip shows 30 Palestinian Authority Arabs breaching the security fence separating Kafr Shuweika in the Tulkarem area from pre-1967 Israel, and making their way towards the Jewish community of Bat Hefer in central Israel.

In addition, the Hamas branch in Tulkarem published footage showing its terrorists firing towards the town of Bat Hefer in retaliation for an IDF attack in Rafah in which two senior Hamas terrorists were eliminated.

Earlier this month, Israel Hayom published an expose revealing that civilian security squads which once numbered dozens of reservists have been reduced to just six members following the outbreak of the war.

Lev Hasharon Regional Council head Eli Atun warned that, “In the two communities adjacent to the seam line fence, Nitzanei Oz and Sha’ar Efraim, there are only six reserve duty soldiers left. In Nitzanei Oz there was an original squad of 24 soldiers, and now there are only six. In Sha’ar Efraim there were 22, and now only six. The first response teams have been cut by three quarters. This is a significant reduction in the force and with only six people, it is impossible to guard the entire area and it is impossible to provide security to the communities.”

“We have recently seen activity beyond the seam line fence. Terrorists are taking pictures to check our level of preparedness, as they did in Gaza before October 7th. Those who responded immediately on October 7 were the first response teams. If we are left with teams of only six people, given the possibility of a major attack, it is obvious that we will not be able to provide an appropriate solution,” warned Atun.

Analyst: ‘Vast majority’ of responsibility for October 7 is the IDF’s

Military analyst Yossi Yehoshua says October 7 massacre could have been avoided had IDF’s General Staff acted differently. ‘It is not connected to the identity of the Prime Minister.’

May 26, 2024, 6:52 PM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – Military analyst Yossi Yehoshua believes that the responsibility for the October 7 massacre and the ensuing war rests mostly on the military echelon.  [Emphasis added]

In an interview with 103FM Radio, Yehoshua explained, “The absolute majority of responsibility is on the IDF. Different handling by the General Staff’s echelon on that night would have prevented most of the incident. It is not connected to the identity of the prime minister.”

Regarding the war in Gaza, he added, “We are advancing in Rafah, we have 70% of the Philadelphi Corridor. We should be, eight months after the war began, with even better results against Hamas and dismantling its abilities.”

Slamming the management of the war, he said, “We should have finished the incident there a long time ago – months ago – and placed much greater military pressure on Hamas.” He did not raise the issue of American pressure and arms shipments.

In FebruaryKan News reported that dozens of Israeli SIM cards had been activated before the Hamas invasion reached the commander of the IDF Southern Command in the last hours of October 6th.

The first telephone call about the report took place between the Southern Command intelligence commander and Yaron Finkelman, the general commander, a few hours before midnight. The call was based on information and evidence from the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) regarding the SIM cards being activated.

Finkelman canceled his vacation in northern Israel and returned to his command. A few hours later, another intelligence service sent even more suspicious findings. The intelligence officer received the information and reported it to Finkelman immediately.

In the first weeks following the invasion, another report claimed that Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and other commanding generals held at least two consultations over the course of that night.

The first consultation was in the early hours of the night, following reports of initial indications from the field. It was decided to hold a second consultation later and not to send additional forces to the area.

During the second consultation, it was decided to hold a third consultation in the morning, and that no forces would be sent to the area and the forces present would not be placed on higher alert.

The ISA likewise understood that something was afoot. ISA director Ronen Bar made his way to ISA headquarters that night and remained there until the war broke out.

In a joint statement, the IDF and ISA claimed, “Reports that 1,000 Israeli SIM cards were activated simultaneously are false and far from the truth. In point of fact, a set of evidence showed that only a few dozen were activated, all of which had been activated in previous incidents. In light of this, the system was prepared and intelligence and operational actions were carried out.”

“As has been reported previously, on the eve of October 7th, information was received due to which assessments were held and decisions were made. The evidence was based on a number of different tools and techniques, including technological tools, the nature and operation of which cannot be discussed. All the incidents and information available about that night will be investigated by the investigative departments of the ISA and IDF. We must be responsible and careful in publications so that they do not impede operational techniques and capabilities during the war.”

IDF PULLS OUT FROM RAFAH, HAMAS IMMEDIATELY SHOOTS MISSILES AT CENTRAL ISRAEL    by David Mark

May 26, 2024 – Shortly after the IDF capitulated to the ICJ and pulled most of its forces out of Rafah, including handing the Rafah crossing over to Egypt, Hamas fired a barrage of rockets at central Israel. Most were intercepted with one hitting an open area.

The IDF claimed it pulled the Givati Brigade from Rafah, reversing the gains it made in the first weeks of the operation, in order to give them “a rest.” However, the timing of the retreat, which corresponds to the ICJ ruling that Israel must end the Rafah operation makes the IDF move appear connected to the ruling.

International Court of Justice in The Hague (ICJ) ruled on Friday that Israel must “immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part,” there is some debate among legal scholars over what precisely this order means.”

The retreat comes at a time, when frustration is growing among the rank and file soldiers. Most recently a video was released of a reserve soldier claiming there were 100,000 soldiers ready to only follow Netanyahu to victory. Despite the current challenges with Gantz and Gallant, it is ultimately Netanyahu who has been unwilling to fire Gantz and Gallant and appoint competent military leaders ready for a real victory.

The pressure from America to stop the war and capitulate is immense and despite the Prime Minister’s declaration that Israel won’t stop fighting, every retreat gives more power to Hamas and brings the terror group that much closer to victory. Soldiers are frustrated, hostage families are in desperation, the north is unlivable, and our leaders appears to be feckless.

Netanyahu stands like the King Saul of old, opposite the Philistines – scared to face Goliath on his own. We all know how that story ended.

Did the ICJ really prohibit Israel from operating in Rafah?   Gary Willig

4 ICJ justices say ruling on Rafah merely obligates Israel not to engage in actions that violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention, not to desist from all military operations in the city.

May 26, 2024, 8:38 AM (GMT+3)  Following the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) ruling on Friday ordering Israel to “immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part,” there is some debate among legal scholars over what precisely this order means.

Professor Stefan Talmon, Director at the Institute of Public International Law, University of Bonn, and Supernumerary Fellow of St. Anne’s College, Oxford, stated that the Court “did NOT say that Israel must immediately halt its military operation in Rafah.”

He stated that the addition of the words “which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part” limit the application of the order and permit military action that does not bringing about such conditions, which Israel does not have intention to commit in the first place.

“Thus, Israel was not ordered to halt all military operations but only military operations that would violate its obligations under the Genocide Convention,” Talmon said.

He noted that the ICJ’s order that Russia must halt its military operations in Ukraine following its invasion in 2022 did not contain such a clause and was therefore applicable to all of Russia’s military actions.

Four of the judges who took part in the ICJ’s deliberations on its order agreed with Talmon’s analysis.

Former Israeli Supreme Court Justice Aharon Barak, who has represented Israel at the ICJ in the case South Africa brought against the Jewish State, wrote, “This measure requires Israel to halt its military offensive in the Rafah Governate only in so far as is necessary to comply with Israel’s obligations under the genocide convention.”

Barak added, “Israel is not prevented from carrying out its military operation in the Rafah Governate as long as it fulfills its obligations under the genocide convention. As a result, the measure is a qualified one, which preserves Israel’s right to prevent and repel threats and attacks by Hamas, defend itself and its citizens, and free the hostages.”

Judge Georg Nolte of Germany wrote that “The measure obliging Israel to halt the current military offensive in Rafah is conditioned by the need to prevent ‘conditions of life that could bring about [the] physical destruction in whole or in part’ of the Palestinian group in Gaza.”

Romanian Judge Bogdan Aurescu wrote, “In my view, this measure needs to be interpreted that it indicates as well the halt of the Israeli military offensive to the extent that it ‘may inflict n the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.'”

ICJ Vice President Julia Sebutinde of Uganda wrote, “This measure does not entirely prohibit the Israeli military from operating in Rafah. Instead, it only operates to partially restrict Israel’s offensive in Rafah to the extent it implicates rights under the genocide convention.”

Judge Sebutinde cautioned against misunderstanding the court’s order as “mandating a unilateral ceasefire in Rafah” and “restricting Israel’s ability to pursue its legitimate military objections, while leaving its enemies, including Hamas, free to attack without Israel being able to respond.”

“I reiterate that Israel has the right to defend itself against its enemies, including Hamas, and to continue efforts to rescue its missing hostages. These rights are not incompatible with its obligations under the genocide convention,” Judge Sebutinde concluded.

The Israeli government is also interpreting the ICJ order in this manner so that the military operation in Rafah can continue while obeying the order.

The Head of the National Security Council, Tzachi Hanegbi, and the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oren Marmorstein, released a joint statement on Friday saying, “Israel will continue its efforts to enable humanitarian assistance and will act, in full compliance with the law, to reduce as much as possible harm caused to the civilian population in Gaza.”

Yesterday (Saturday), Hanegbi told Channel 12 News, “What they are asking us, is not to commit genocide in Rafah. We did not commit genocide and we will not commit genocide.”

Minister Gantz: ‘Barrage from Rafah proves: IDF must operate everywhere Hamas is

Minister Benny Gantz toured communities near the Gaza border and an IDF base in the area and discussed the missile barrage on central Israel.

May 26, 2024, 5:26 PM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – National Unity Chairman Minister Benny Gantz toured Kibbutz Kerem Shalom, Moshav Yated, and Kibbutz Nir Oz, near the Gaza border, on Sunday, together with MK Alon Schuster (National Unity) and Eshkol Regional Council Chairman Gadi Yarkoni.

During the visit, he met with residents, security coordinators, and members of local security teams.

After touring the communities, he visited the Urim Base, where he met with IDF lookouts, some of whom enlisted after October 7th.

At the end of the visit, Gantz addressed the missile barrage on central Israel from Rafah and stated: “The launches from Rafah today prove that the IDF must operate everywhere Hamas is. And that’s what will be.

The world must know, that the ones who hold hostages, the ones who fire at our cities, the ones who spread terror – they’re responsible. The Hamas murderers are war criminals. We will settle the score with everyone – sooner or later.”

Soldier who called for rebellion charged with severe crimes

The IDF Investigations Department is charging the reservist who called for soldiers to disobey orders given by the Defense Minister and Chief of Staff with insurrection, incitement to insurrection, and inappropriate insubordination.

May 26, 2024, 3:53 PM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – The Military Police Investigations Department is charging a reservist with several serious offenses after he published a video calling for a rebellion against Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzl Halevi.

Among other things, the Investigations Department is charging the reservist with insurrection, incitement to insurrection, and inappropriate insubordination.

The reservist’s lawyer sent a letter to the Investigations Department claiming: “The only thing my client stated was that he will not listen to a future unauthorized order from the Minister of Defense (while in disagreeing with the Prime Minister and in violation of a government decision), positively emphasizing and clarifying that he will follow an order given by the government itself and the Prime Minister.”

He added: “This is selective enforcement, for over a year multitudes of videos have been uploaded to social media showing reservists announcing their intentions to disobey the military’s orders, and law enforcement did not take such steps.

Watch (Hebrew)

[Ed.:  IINO’s government press (Israel National News,) has put words in the soldiers mouth!  Not once did he call for disobeying orders.  He called for Gallant and Halevi to either resign, or finish the job and win the war.  Of course, they will finish the soldier, instead.  What he did say is that “there were 100,000 soldiers ready to only follow Netanyahu to victory.” Actually, the soldier is right! The military leadership who are responsible for October 7th, and who refuse to win the war need to be arrested and prosecuted for dereliction of duty, and their role in the injury and death of thousands of Israelis.  Complete military reform must be implemented.]

 

IDF reduces forces in Gaza after ICJ ruling

Israel and Egypt reportedly will reopen the Rafah Crossing to allow humanitarian aid into Rafah as troops removed from the city.

May 26, 2024, 12:42 PM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – The IDF has reduced the number of troops deployed in eastern Rafah and the Givati Brigade left the Gaza Strip overnight from the area where it had been operating for the last three weeks.

The military explained, according to a report by Ynet, that this was done to allow the troops to return to Gaza and Rafah at a later date ‘refreshed’ after weeks of combat. Four combat teams from the 162nd Division remain.

According to the report, the Givati Brigade’s departure from the southern city in the Gaza Strip comes amid reports that Israel will allow the reopening of the Rafah Crossing by the Egyptian army from the southern side of the crossing, in order to allow additional humanitarian aid income, and accordingly, Israeli forces will be removed from the area.

The withdrawal of the forces comes after the International Court of Justice in The Hague (ICJ) ruled on Friday that Israel must “immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah Governorate, which may inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part,” there is some debate among legal scholars over what precisely this order means.”

Police force hundreds out of Meron   Itzik Brandwein

Police have stopped buses full of passengers trying to reach Meron and forced dozens of worshipers out of Meron after they began destroying police barricades.

May 26, 2024, 2:56 PM (GMT+3) – Since the end of Shabbat, hundreds of people have been trying to reach Mount Meron for Lag B’Omer despite IDF orders and numerous police roadblocks.

In the Jordan Valley, the police stopped several buses full of passengers trying to reach Meron. On the mountain itself, dozens were removed by the police after initiating confrontations with police, dismantling barriers, and trying to ascend the mountain.

The police say that ”Since the morning, hundreds of people have arrived at the Meron compound, clashing with police and damaging property that was placed there for their security.”

So far, over 500 people who tried to enter the mountain without permits have been removed from the Meron area in police buses.

The police emphasized that the three planned bonfires that were meant to take place before dawn passed without any exceptional incidents and in accordance with the law.

Biden’s $320M Gaza Pier Has Detached & Drifted Onto Israeli Beach   BY TYLER DURDEN

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 2024 – 12:15 PM – A section of the $320 million floating pier built and erected off Gaza’s coast has broken off and floated onto an Israeli beach. The Saturday mishap is the latest setback for the US humanitarian aid project, after three US troops were reported injured aboard the pier two days prior, including one critically.

The Times of Isreal’s military correspondent Emanuel Fabian has reported that “An American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships into the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, leading it to get stuck on the coast of Ashdod, eyewitnesses say.”

The recovery operation has not gone well either, as “Another ship was then sent to try and extract the stuck vessel, but also got beached,” Fabian writes.

And yet a second US Army vessel also got stuck in shallow waters while trying to rescue the pier section. Overnight US ships had been moving two pieces of the floating pier to the Port of Ashdod in southern Israel when the now beached section detached and drifted away. American troops can be seen in footage standing helplessly on the beach.

An official US Central Command (CENTCOM) statement says the following:

This morning four U.S. Army vessels supporting the maritime humanitarian aid mission in Gaza were affected by heavy sea states. The vessels broke free from their moorings and two vessels are now anchored on the beach near the pier.

The third and fourth vessels are beached on the coast of Israel near Ashkelon. Efforts to recover the vessels are under way with assistance from the Israeli Navy.

The pier operation was already last week off to a rough start — and was paused for two days — after desperate Palestinians mobbed and ransacked the first trucks transporting aid unloaded from the pier before they could reach a distribution warehouse managed by the World Food Programme.

The pier has been center of controversy, given a number of land routes for aid into Gaza are possible, but have been blocked by Israel’s military.

Now, to mitigate that devastation amid reports of famine the US government has spent $320 million to build a pier to bypass its own beneficiary’s land-route blockade. But operating it has proven tricky especially due to inclement conditions in the eastern Mediterranean.

At best, the pier will only put a dent in the daunting humanitarian challenge. “I just want to be clear that this humanitarian maritime corridor alone is not enough to meet the staggering needs in Gaza, but it is an important addition,” said USAID Levant response management team director Daniel Dieckhaus. “It is meant to augment, not replace or substitute for land crossings into Gaza.”

At this point, with a section of the pier stuck on an Israel beach, and coming over two months after President Biden first unveiled the ambitious project, the whole initiative is becoming a bit of an embarrassment involving setback after setback.

 

US-built Gaza pier, valued at $320 million, swept away by sea waves   Osama Ali

May 25th, 2024 – 12:36 GMT – ALBAWABA – Recent events have resulted in the US floating pier drifting to the coasts of Ashdod after waves off the coast of Gaza washed away a portion of it, according to Al Jazeera.

US Gaza strategy leaked: Revealing plan for Gaza aid port

The Israeli navy, according to reports, is now working to recover the detached section of the pier that was forced to break away by the might of the waves and reattach it to the main building.

Photographic proof documented the cooperative efforts of Israeli naval troops and US military personnel in securing the detached portion of the pier and dragging it back to the Gaza shore.

Furthermore, according to sources from the Yedioth Ahronoth daily, the divided area includes a flatboat that is often used for loading and unloading goods from ships.

 

US naval vessels disconnect from Gaza aid pier, wash up on Israeli beaches   By EMANUEL FABIAN

CENTCOM reports no casualties, says humanitarian jetty still functioning after four ships break off their moorings 

25 May 2024, 9:24 pm – American vessels connected to a floating pier near the Gaza Strip disconnected Saturday from the jetty due to stormy seas, leading them to get stuck on the coast off Israel, US Central Command said in a statement.

In total, four vessels broke free from their moorings, CENTCOM said, adding that no injuries were reported and the aid pier remains fully functional.

One of the ships got stuck on a beach at the southern end of Ashdod, and another ship sent to extract the stuck vessel also got beached.

The other two vessels washed up on a beach near the pier, the statement said, adding that efforts to recover the vessels were underway with assistance from the Israeli Navy.

The statement stressed no US personnel would enter Gaza to help retrieve the vessels, reiterating the American position of no boots on the ground.

🔸DEAL, HAMAS UPDATES.. Hamas: “Osama Hamdan, told the Al Jazeera network: We do not need new negotiations” (( because EU countries and the ICJ and ICC are doing their job for them. ))

▪️JEW UP FOR EXECUTION IN IRAN.. The request for a retrial of Ervin Nathaniel Kahrmani, a young Iranian Jew who was sentenced to “retribution” (execution) on the charge of “premeditated murder”, was rejected by the Iran Supreme Court.

🔥🔥May 25, 2024 [2:21 pm Eastern] – Sat night after Shabbat – ISRAEL REALTIME – Connecting to Israel in Realtime

( 1 / 2 )

LAG SAMAYACH, a happy Lag b’Omer, the celebration of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and the mystical portion of the Torah.

▪️MERON RISK.. Security officials discussing the possibility of canceling even the tiny bonfires allowed at the Meron Tomb of Rashbi, due to direct threats of rocket and drone fire at the area.

▪️OBJECTION VIDEO IS FAKE.. on Friday a video was released supposedly from a reserve soldier in Gaza (with a mask on) saying the soldiers are sick of the situation having lost their jobs and homes and should consider rebelling against the IDF General and Defense Minister.

.. HOWEVER, the person who made the video was tracked down and arrested.  NOT in Gaza, NOT in the army!  The video was a fake, the trying to convince people to rebel orders – a crime.  He has been arrested.

🔸DEAL, ROUND 33.. the negotiation talks are expected to resume next week in Doha, Qatar when delegations from Hamas and Israel will arrive to present their positions. The head of the Mossad presented to the mediators the guidelines approved by the cabinet, and agreed with the Prime Minister of Qatar and the head of the CIA to meet again.

.. Senior Hamas official Muhammad Mardawi clarifies: “The ball is in Israel’s court regarding the end of the war. A permanent ceasefire is the only way to reach a deal. Any proposal presented to us must include a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.”

.. A senior Hamas official denied to Reuters the reports of renewed contacts in Cairo for a hostage deal.

▪️TUNNELS.. Israeli National Security Adviser Tzachi Hangabi: So far we have found 11 tunnels on the Philadelphia route between Egypt and Gaza, and we have no evidence if our kidnappers were taken out of Gaza.​​​​ (( The Israeli Representative to the ICC said 50 tunnels.  50, or 11?  Or??? ))

▪️A NOTE ON THE IMPOSSIBLE STANDARD OF THE COURT.. (( As many have noted, the court used as some of its reasoning that Israel is instructing Gaza civilians to move out of the combat zone.  Moving civilians out of a combat zone is wrong, and keeping civilians in a combat zone is wrong.  Per the court – if there are civilians, combat is illegal, if civilians are moved it is illegal.  Defense is therefore illegal in enemy territory – regardless of whether they attacked you. ))

.. Leader ofIsrael Our Home party, MK Avigdor Lieberman: “As I warned, the decision of the Israeli government to appear before the International Court of Justice in The Hague was a serious mistake and falling into a trap with a predetermined end.”

Finally, perplexed, bothered, and bewildered   Jack Engelhard

At a time when Israel is being pummeled from all sides, Israeli leaders need to get their act together and speak in a single Churchillian voice.   Opinion.

May 23, 2024, 11:51 PM (GMT+3) – Will the real Benjamin Netanyahu please stand up? The more I read, the more confused I get.

My critics will say…so stop reading so much. But I can’t help myself, because as a writer, it is my duty to save the world, starting with Israel.

So, here’s a secret, which I now reveal for the first time in the history of journalism and literature. So here goes: Every writer thinks he is special and that his sayings are unique. Every writer thinks he has the answer. We all think that our latest book, our latest op-ed will solve everything.

The world will bestow us with garlands, gratitudes, and prizes, because at last the final word has been written. No more writing needs to be done.

Out goes every newspaper, every website. We have made them all obsolete.

Until, we wake up in the morning to discover that we hardly made a splash. As I often say, NOBODY CARES. Worse, our accusers take turns ripping us to shreds.

We have accomplished nothing. Recall F. Scott Fitzgerald’s lament, “Why all this writing? Nobody reads me.”

So we start all over again, because this time…maybe THIS TIME…

What we do, then, is go back to reading to decide what position to take, which makes sense, except that nothing makes sense. All is confusion, paradox and contradiction.

Thus, a few days ago, Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, met with US officials and bought the [Democrat] party message hook, line and sinker, saying that after the dust has settled, Israel should not re-take Gaza, but rather hand it back to the Arabs, suggesting that Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority would be an excellent choice.

This was met with howls of…are you nuts?

Truly, strange things happen when Israeli leaders meet Blinken and others of that sort…and remember, this is supposed to be a right-wing government.

Until it isn’t.

So why are we fighting…for the benefit of Abbas and his terrorists? The IDF heroes, risking life and limb, deserve better.

At a time when Israel is being pummeled from all sides, Israeli leaders need to get their act together and speak in a single Churchillian voice. Clarity please when the ICC casts a dark shadow over Netanyahu and the Jewish State, and when Ireland, Spain and Norway take the side of terrorists by agreeing to recognize a “Palestinian” state.

Lest we forget that moment of silence for the butcher of Tehran.

Meanwhile, the war goes on, and we learn that only about a third of the Hamas terrorists have been eliminated, while newly-minted Nazis riot on street and campus.

Wobbly won’t do in the face of all this.

Entering the flare-up was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who smoked out Gallant with mockery, saying that Israel will never trade Hamas-land for Fatah-land.

Sanity at last.

Or so you thought…until Netanyahu appeared on CNN to reverse himself, insisting that Israel has no plan to re-take Gaza.

Rather, it should be governed by the PA, plus an assortment of international troops.

Bottom Line…same old story. Nothing has been learned.

Report: IDF refused to supply canine, soldiers were killed as a result

Soldiers requested a canine from the Oketz Unit to assist in locating explosives. The IDF did not supply the dog, and several soldiers were killed when an IED exploded.

May 23, 2024, 10:31 PM (GMT+3)  Israel National News – An IDF force that raided a new area in the Gaza Strip requested a canine from the Oketz Unit to locate explosives.

According to a report by Kan News military correspondent Roy Sharon, the IDF refused to supply a canine. The soldiers went on the raid anyway and were hit by an IED planted by Hamas, which killed several.

The next day the forces received the dog, but for the soldiers who were killed, it was too late. The division commander in charge of the force is investigating the incident.

The IDF is working to increase the amount of canines in the Oketz Unit. During the war, nearly 30 canines were killed. The dogs identified hundreds of explosives and saved many soldiers’ lives.

The IDF Spokesperson commented on the report: “The incident is under investigation, and when it’s over the findings will be given to the families.” According to the military, “The Oketz Unit has limited resources which are utilized in all fronts of combat and are assigned to various tasks. The decisions on the matter are made per operational necessity.”
