Smotrich: The new concept led by the War Cabinet is exploding in our faces
Finance Minister comments on the fires that are raging in the north: A year ago there was a defense minister who said we would return Lebanon to the Stone Age. The time has come.
Jun 4, 2024, 1:57 AM (GMT+3) Israel National News – Finance Minister and Security Cabinet member Bezalel Smotrich commented on Monday night on the fires that are raging in the north.
“Just a few hours ago I warned that the situation in the north is deteriorating and the security belt must move from Israel to southern Lebanon. The new concept led by the War Cabinet has been going up in flames for hours and is exploding in our faces,” Smotrich said.
“A year ago there was a defense minister who said we would return Lebanon to the Stone Age. Mr. Prime Minister, Mr. Defense Minister, Mr. Chief of Staff – the time has come,” he added.
His comments came as fires raged in the north caused by rocket debris and direct hits, and exacerbated by the hot and dry weather.
13 teams of firefighters are deployed throughout the city of Kiryat Shmona and are protecting the homes in the neighborhoods. The spokesman for the city of Kiryat Shmona stated that, due to the severe fires around the city, several residents who remained in the city have been evacuated from their homes.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responded, “What is happening now in the north is moral bankruptcy. Reckless management by the Concept Cabinet, a direct continuation of the policy of containment and proportionality, a policy that directly led to October 7. Instead of bowing down to Hamas, it is time for all of Lebanon to burn.”
Opposition leader Yair Lapid said, “The north is going up in flames and Israeli deterrence is burning with it. The government has no plan for the day after in Gaza, no plan to return the residents to the north, no management, no strategy. A fully reckless government.”

Security forces destroy homes near memorial to fallen soldier [VIDEOS] Hezki Baruch
Security forces began to demolish buildings in Havat Yair built near a lookout dedicated to the memory of Motti Shamir, who fell in defense of Re’im on October 7th.
Jun 4, 2024, 2:37 PM (GMT+3) – Security forces came on Tuesday to evict and demolish buildings in Havat Yair in Samaria near a lookout that was built in memory of Motti Shamir, who fell in defense of Re’im on October 7th.
The buildings were constructed on “survey lands” intended to be classified as state land and are in the community’s future planning zone. The lookout itself will not be demolished.
Minister Bezalel Smotrich. who oversees the Civil Administration, did not approve the demolition. However, the defense establishment overcame that detail by issuing an opinion justifying the demolition for security reasons. This in turn transferred the authority over the demolition to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who authorized it.
The Samaria Regional Council emphasized that at the site where the neighborhood was built, terrorists had in the past opened fire and threw burning toward Havat Yair in an attempt to burn the brush and cause a fire in the village. Since families began living there, the terror attacks on the village stopped.
Amichai Eitam, the Chairman of the Havat Yair Local Council, stated: “We truly believe that the people of Israel are right and we will continue to strengthen the settlement of the land, the security of the village residents, and the memory of the heroes of Israel.”
Motti Shamir (30), who was in the middle of his military-sponsored studies after serving as a company commander, rushed from his home in Havat Yair to protect the communities in the Gaza envelope. He managed to fight in several battles and protect Kibbutz Re’im but fell while evacuating the wounded.
Due to the demolition, the Knesset Subcommittee for Judea and Samaria Issues Chairman MK Tzvi Succot (Religious Zionism) called will convene an emergency session of the committee to examine the opinion issued by the defense establishment to allow for the demolition.

Judge orders release of Arab infiltrator ‘because the war has calmed down a bit’
Lod District Court Judge Efrat Fink ruled that the resident of PA territory who infiltrated Israel should be released from detention since she had a work permit in the past and since the war is less intense.
Jun 4, 2024, 12:05 PM (GMT+3) Israel National News – Lod District Court Judge Efrat Fink ordered the release of an Arab resident of PA-controlled territories, who infiltrated Israeli territory, since “the war has calmed down a bit.”
Fink wrote in her decision: “Yes, since the war broke out on October 7th, 2023, there has been a change regarding requests to detain those who are in Israel illegally, with the courts beginning to give danger considerable weight in the reason for detention, even though the crime was only illegal infiltration.”
Among other reasonings, Fink ruled that the infiltrator should be released since in the past, before October 7th, she passed the “security filter” and was granted a work permit – this even though the state emphasized to the judge that the infiltrator did not pass the more stringent “security filter” instituted since the war began.
The judge added that the infiltrator should be released because of the current intensity of the war in the South: “Requests for detention until the end of proceedings that were submitted shortly after the outbreak of the war and during the height of the war in October onward are not the same as this Requests for detention until the end of proceedings which was submitted now, while the war has calmed down a bit.”

Lebanese report: Israel to declare war in the near future
British sources believe Israel will attack Lebanon in mid-June, report says.
Jun 4, 2024, 10:00 AM (GMT+3) Israel National News – The Lebanese Al Akhbar newspaper, which is affiliated with the Hezbollah terror group, on Tuesday morning reported that in recent days, a number of diplomatic messages have arrived in Beirut, containing warnings regarding an impending war with Israel.
Hezbollah has been launching both missiles and UAVs at northern Israel since October 7, 2023, and Israel has responded by retaliated in a precise and controlled fashion, targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure and senior terrorists.
Sources told Al Akhbar that most representatives of international delegations have expressed concern at the severity of the Israeli threat, but the most significant messages come from the British, who estimate that Israel will attack mid-June. The British also advised preparing for a war of unknown scope or length.
Former Lebanese minister Walid Jumblatt said that during his most recent visit to Qatar he heard concerns regarding Israel’s intentions in Lebanon. Qatari officials expressed worry that Israel is not interested in a ceasefire in Gaza, despite the US efforts to achieve one.
Al Akhbar also reported that prior to US President Joe Biden’s speech announcing his proposal for a ceasefire deal, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri received a phone call from US adviser Amos Hochstein.
The phone call lasted 40 minutes, and during it, Hochstein explained that “the Biden administration is insisting on completion of negotiations for a solution on the southern front (Lebanon-Israel) and is working to achieve calm in Gaza. When this happens, then we will begin holding negotiations regarding the points which we do not agree upon (on the land border between Israel and Lebanon).”
According to sources, Hochstein’s optimism disappeared following the Israeli government’s response to Biden’s proposal.

After more than nine hours: Fires in Kiryat Shmona region under control; 16 injured [VIDEOS]
Falling rocket debris and strikes from UAVs that were not intercepted caused large fires in significant areas of northern Israel. Civilians evacuated. Six reservists and five civilians injured.
Jun 4, 2024, 9:34 AM Israel National News – After more than nine hours, firefighters were able early Tuesday morning to gain control of the fire that broke out near Amiad in northern Israel.
18 teams of firefighters from the northern, coastal and central districts worked to gain control of the fire, alongside forces from the Israel Defense Forces, KKL-JNF, the IDF and the Israel Police.
The firefighters also gained control of the fires in Kiryat Shmona and Kfar Giladi. Four teams are still working to control the fire in the Naftali Ridge.
The fires were caused as a result of dozens of launches from Lebanon. The firefighting teams had been working since Monday afternoon on the fires that broke out in the area due to rocket debris and direct hits, exacerbated by the hot and dry weather.
On Monday afternoon, about 30 launches were identified crossing from Lebanon towards northern Golan Heights and fell in open areas. Additionally, air defense soldiers intercepted an unmanned aircraft carrying explosives that crossed from Lebanon near the Naftali Ridge area.
However, another explosive drone that crossed from Lebanon was not intercepted and fell in the area. Simultaneously, an explosive drone that crossed from Lebanon fell in the Metula area.
A short time later, another alert was activated in the north of the country, during which an interceptor was launched towards a suspicious aerial target that crossed into Israeli territory from Lebanon. The incident ended with no casualties.
The Upper Galilee Regional Council updated that several fires that were extinguished yesterday in the Ramim Ridge and Naftali Ridge areas have reignited in recent hours. Additionally, a fire broke out in northern Golan Heights as a result of rockets striking open fields. Due to the numerous fire focal points, severe air pollution is noticeable throughout the area.
Israeli security sources: Smotrich using his office to bring down Palestinian Authority Hezki Baruch
‘With a command echelon who grew up on the knees of the Oslo Accords, and simply refuses to wake up, we can never win,’ Finance Min. Smotrich accuses.
Jun 4, 2024, 2:37 PM (GMT+3) – Sources in Israel’s defense echelon slammed Finance MInister Bezalel Smotrich for toppling the Palestinian Authority, noting that he is leading a process which will defund it.
Speaking with Ynet, the security sources said that Smotrich’s economic sanctions mainly hurt Palestinian Authority officials and security personnel, who the sources claim prevent terror attacks. This is due in large part to the Palestinian Authority’s decision to prioritize terrorists’ salaries over those of its employees.
“There is an Israeli interest in preserving the moderates and preventing the extremists from taking control of the area,” they claimed.
Smotrich responded: “Those ‘security sources,’ who have done everything they can for years to prevent the IDF from entering Gaza and destroying Hamas, who are responsible for the most horrific military failure that happened to the Jewish nation since the Holocaust, and who have been lackadaisical about managing the war since then, are threatening anyone who dares to challenge their atrophied thinking and to think outside of the box.”
“This is the entire concept. You have to be a huge defeatist to ask to support the Palestinian Authority, which supports terror and wages diplomatic and legal warfare against Israel and aims for the issue of arrest warrants against its Prime Minister and Defense Minister – just like those who wanted to evacuate Gush Katif, retreat from Lebanon, and advance the creation of a terror state in the heart of Israel.”
Smotrich added, “Defeatism which cost us in too many lives, ‘sacrifices of peace,’ and October 7, were not enough for them to wake up, and they continue and even now are trying to sell us that we can’t win and that ‘there is no military solution to terror.'”
“It does not matter how many articles they have initiated, I will never accept their desire to create a Palestinian terror state which will threaten the security of the entire State of Israel, and I will do everything to prevent it. With a command echelon who grew up on the knees of Oslo [Accords] and simply refuses to wake up, we can never win. It’s time for a change.”

Ambassador David Friedman Announces New Movement, One Jewish State ADAM ELIYAHU BERKOWITZ
“On that day Hashem made a covenant with Avram, saying, “To your offspring I assign this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:” GENESIS 15:18 (THE ISRAEL BIBLE)
JUNE 3, 2024 – David Friedman, former US Ambassador to Israel presented his ‘One Jewish State movement,’ yesterday in Manhattan at a news conference. Friedman elaborated on ‘One Jewish State’ (1JP), which firmly opposes a two-state solution and advocates for a single Jewish state encompassing all of Israel, including Judea and Samaria.
Friedman criticized the recent advocacy for a two-state solution by President Joe Biden, labeling it as “tone-deaf” and unsuitable, especially in light of the events of October 7th. He pointed to the situation in Gaza as a cautionary example, where significant financial aid and resources have led to peace but rather were hijacked for the construction of terror tunnels and acquisition of weapons. “Anyone who’s looking at this today has to understand that there can not, under any circumstances, be a two-state solution, and we have to fight it,” he asserted.
As an alternative, Friedman proposed that the United States help Israel become more comfortable with extending its sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. At the Jerusalem Conference hosted by Arutz Sheva-Israel National News, Friedman explained the vision behind ‘One Jewish State’ (1JP) of complete Israeli sovereignty and emphasized that this solution should apply to the entire area, not just Area C, suggesting that this approach could appeal to various political and ideological groups.
“You can support this if you’re on the right because you’re happy about sovereignty; you can support this on the left if you think that Palestinians should have a better life,” he said. “You can support this if you’re secular because you just see it as the only way that Israel will ever have security; or you can support this if you’re religious and you think that this is the land given by God to the Jewish people, as I do.”
Friedman also commented on the undue pressure from the Biden administration on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu regarding a proposed deal with Hamas. He criticized the timing and nature of the announcement of the proposal, which he claims misrepresented Israel’s stance and increased pressure on Netanyahu. Friedman emphasized that maximum pressure on Hamas is essential to secure the release of hostages.
According to Friedman, “The pressure Biden is putting on Netanyahu right now is extraordinary. I think that what he did on Friday was announce an Israeli proposal at a time when it was Shabbat in Israel. Netanyahu wasn’t even supposed to respond to it, forcing Israel to respond after it was already Shabbat.
“A proposal that Israel never made, or certainly leaving out, the critical piece of it, which is that Hamas will be destroyed. I think the pressure is tremendous, and I think that Netanyahu is being confronted also by America and others with this false choice that you can either deal with the war or free the hostages, but not both. And I’ve never understood that conflict, especially when dealing with Hamas.”
This is what one day [today] in the north looks [looked] like: 12 hours of continuous fire. Israeli Journalist Almog Boker:
“Take a look at this list:
Now, look at this list again and think about what would happen if instead of Kela, Sha’al, and Katzrin, it said Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Ramat Hasharon.
We cannot continue to accept this constant fire at northern communities as a lesser evil; we cannot keep residents out of their homes for eight months. Katzrin should be treated like Tel Aviv. It’s time to act.
It’s time to send a clear and unequivocal message to Hezbollah.
It’s time for Nasrallah to understand that he is a target, just like Sinwar.”

⭕ HITS in Kiryat Shomna, 2 injured from shrapnel.

⚠️ LEBANESE CITIZENS RECEIVE WAR INSTRUCTIONS.. “We are on the way to a major escalation, we ask you to cooperate with the authorities.. Prepare an emergency bag containing water, food, essential medicines, identification documents and first aid equipment…”
▪️COMPLETE ISRAELI FAILURE IN MORALE, MOMENTUM, and INTIMIDATION..
(( Commentary )) While the north is burning and children are running for their lives, the IDF puts out “the IDF conducted an exercise in General Staff command centers to enhance readiness for a campaign in the northern arena.” While covering our heads lying on the ground, while Katzrin is burning to the ground and Kiryat Shmona is being destroyed – this is supposed to give us a feeling of safety.
The IDF and Israeli government is completely failing at managing national morale, keeps losing war momentum by pausing to.. well we don’t know what, hold talks? Political considerations? And let the enemy re-arm, rest, learn and plan?
Intimidation of our enemy? Ha! They’re watching the Kaplan protests, the High Court prepare to tear the country apart, and our political class at each other’s throats. Israel’s attempt to be intimidating is to fly low over Lebanese cities and break windows by breaking the sound barrier. Oh no!
G-d help us, because our leaders aren’t.
▪️HEZBOLLAH ACTION ANALYSIS.. Shia axis analysts involved in the military estimate Hezbollah is trying to damage the Israeli air defense systems and “exhaust” them under the assumption that Israel will soon carry out an extensive attack in Lebanon. The damage to Israel’s air defense systems will, in their view, reduce Israel’s ability to defend itself in the face of a large response from Hezbollah to such an attack.
▪️HIGH COURT CASE.. today’s society breaking event: the court case over charedi draft to the army.
(Amit Segal analysis) Don’t be stressed: the orders (to force recruiting) will become final, the verdict will be unanimous or almost unanimous, and the only question will be what the order is for the IDF and how much to recruit.
(Our analysis) As the govt attorney noted in his statement to the court, you can’t drag people kicking and screaming into the army. You can drag a few, but you are not going to get effective soldiers and you are going to get ongoing large protests.
You can sanction and further alienate this segment of society, but you can’t force people who are willing to sit in jail. And in the process you will lose the 40% who have been participating.
.. Demonstrators against ultra-Orthodox recruitment blocked Highway 4 in the Bnei Brak area and blockades also in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem.
▪️AID MEETING (Egypt, Israel, US).. regarding the Rafah crossing: new Egyptian demand according to which Israel withdraws from the entire nearby area, avoids any involvement in the crossing and Egyptian-Palestinian coordination takes place. Israel: no.

Survey: Majority of Israelis want Israel to control Gaza Nissan Tzur
A comprehensive survey on Israeli public attitudes regarding the war shows that 40 percent want Israel to control Gaza
Jun 1, 2024, 10:03 PM (GMT+3) – A survey conducted among 1001 Israelis reveals that a majority of the Israeli public supports the war or claims that “the Israeli response did not go far enough.”
Fewer people believe in the two-state solution and in US President Biden. The survey results were published recently, but the survey itself was conducted at the end of March and the beginning of April, before recent developments. Thirty-nine (39) percent of Israelis who participated in the survey claimed that, “Israel’s military response against Hamas in Gaza was appropriate,” while 34 percent claimed that it “did not go far enough.”
Another 19 percent considered the “response to be excessive.” Participants were asked whether they believe Israel will achieve the war’s objectives; 27 percent answered “probably” while 40 percent were sure that Israel will achieve the objectives it set for itself. Most Israelis, 61 percent, also expressed concern that the war might spread to other fronts.
Fully 40 percent of respondents said that “Israel should control the Gaza Strip after the war,” while only 14 percent believed that “Gaza’s residents should decide who will control” the area.
Only 6 percent would like to see the Palestinian Authority under Mahmoud Abbas’ control in Gaza, while 12 percent would prefer to see the Palestinian Authority but without Abbas. Last year, 35 percent of Israelis who participated in a similar survey said they supported a Palestinian state. In the current survey, only 26 percent said they still support it.
The survey also examined what Israeli citizens think of US President Joe Biden’s policy towards the war. A majority – 60 – percent of Israelis said they disapprove of Biden’s handling of the war, while 41 percent believed that Biden finds the right balance between Israelis and Palestinians. When asked, “Do you trust Biden to correctly manage global affairs?” there was a 10 percent decline among Israelis who said yes, compared to last year.
However, 74 percent of Israeli Arabs claimed that “the Israeli response went too far,” while only 3 percent claimed that “Israel should control Gaza after the war.”
