AMIR TSARFATI ON ISRAEL STRATEGY FOR RAFAH-LEBANON (IF HEZZBOLLAH COMES
AGAINST ISRAEL-LEBANON INFASTRUCTURE IN 24 HRS IS HISTORY.BY AUGUST)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2GGa1zPE7E
ISRAEL
WILL ENTER INTO RAFAH WERE THE COCK ROACHES OF HAMAS 4TH BRIGADE ARE
HIDING IN.ISRAEL WILL FIND MORE HOSTAGES IN RAFAH.ISRAEL WILL BE GOING
TO KICK HAMAS BUT REAL GOOD AND ANNIHILATE THEM FROM RAFAH. AND EVERY
BODY AROUND WILL UNDERSTAND. THIS IS THEIR HAMAS'S COCK ROACH END.BUT
AMIR EXPLAINS-THE BIG WAR IS NOT THE ONE IN GAZA.THE BIG WAR WILL BE
COMING FROM THE NORTH LEBANON.GAZA IS JUST A STROLL IN THE PARK COMPARED
TO THE WAR WE ARE PREPARING FOR THAT IS COMING IN LEBANON. ISRAEL IS
NOT STARTING A WAR WITH LEBANON RIGHT NOW NOT BECAUSE WE DO NOT THINK
ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. ITS BECAUSE WE DO NOT THINK ITS THE RIGHT
TIME. WE WANT TO FINISH THE JOB IN GAZA. WE WANT TO TRAIN OUR TROOPS
VERY WELL. WE WANT TO IMPLIMENT EVERY THING WE LEARNED IN GAZA. BECAUSE
THE GAZA CAMPAIN MADE OUR MILITARY SHARP IN WAYS THAT IT HAS NEVER
BEEN.THE WAY WE OPERATE THE GROUND FORCES, THE ENGINNERING CORPS AND THE
AIR FORCE, UNPRECIDENTED. THE WAY WE COMMUNICATE BETWEEN ALL FORCES,
WITH THE NAVY OF COURSE, UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT WE ARE NOW DOING IS
PROCESSING EVERYTHING. WE ARE TRAINING OUR ELITE SOLDIERS RIGHT NOW. I'M
NOT GOING TO TELL YOU EXACTLY WHEN I BELIEVE OR WHEN I KNOW THAT WERE
GOING TO ATTACK. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE IS, UNLESS HEZBOLLAH
DECIDES TO PULL OUT OF SOUTHERN LEBANON, ACROSS THE LITANI RIVER, AND
JUST COMPLETELY CLEAN SOUTHERN LEBANON FROM ITS PRESENCE, THERES GOING
TO BE A WAR WITH LEBANON. ISRAEL IS PREPARING FOR A WAR. YOU DON'T HEAR
THAT IN THE LIBERAL PROPAGANA FAKE NEWS MEDIA OF MISFITS AND GAY AND
TRANNY LOVERS.(MY COMMENT). NOW BACK TO TO AMIR TSARFATI AGAIN TO CARRY
ON WITH ISRAELS STRATEGY. BUT CARGO SHIPS LOADED WITH MUNITIONS AND
WEAPONS ARE ARRIVING ALMOST EVERY WEEK. CARGO PLANES WITH LOADED WITH
MUNITIONS AND WEAPONS ARE ARRIVING. AND THE WEAPONS THAT WE MANUFACTURE
AND WE WERE ABOUT TO SELL. ISRAEL IS NOW BUILDING UP ITS READINESS AND
WE ARE GONNA FIGHT. AND I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING. ITS NOT GOING TO BE
GAZA. ITS NOT GOING TO BE A TERROR ORGANIZATION THAT IS CONTROLLING A
VERY SMALL TERRITORY THAT IS DENSLY POPULATED, WERE THERES A HUNDRED...
AT THAT TIME, IT WAS 250 HOSTAGES HELD UNDER THE GROUND. ITS A DIFFERENT
OPERA. WITH HEZBOLLAH, AND I SAY THAT FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, WITH
HEZBOLLAH THERE IS A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY, LEBANON. THEY HAVE AIR PORTS,
THEY HAVE POWER PLANTS, THEY HAVE BRIDGES, THEY HAVE INFRASTRUCTURES
THAT AS A COUNTRY, I DON'T THINK THEY CAN LOSE. THE STRIKE THAT ISRAEL
IS GOING TO DO IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS, SUPPOSED TO COMPLETLY PARALIZE THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY OF LEBANON. I THINK THAT HEZBOLLAH IS WATCHING WHATS
GOING ON. THEY'RE UP IN THE TREE. THEY NEED A LADDER TO GET DOWN FROM
THE TREE. THEY SEE THAT WERE GOING ALL THE WAY WITH HAMAS (COCK
ROACHES). THEY CAN'T STOP BECAUSE THEY PROMISED THE MUSLIM WORLD THAT
THEY WILL FIGHT AS LONG AS WE ISRAELIS FIGHT IN GAZA. ON THE OTHER HAND,
THEY CAN NOT ESCULATE ANYTHING. BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT THE WAR. AND
SO, WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN IS A DISASTER FOR LEBANON. I BELIEVE ITS A
MATTER OF A MONTH OR TWO OF INTENSE FIGHTING. AND THERES A GOOD CHANCE
THAT BY AUGUST, MAYBE, YEH, BY AUG 24 WE WILL BE BEYOND ALL OF THIS.MUCH
OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS DEPENDS ON THE AMERICAN
ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER AND AUGUST DEMOLIBNUT PRIMARIES. AND THE US
ADMINISTRATION. ONE DAY ISRAEL IS GOING TO ASK ITSELF. WHY IS IT THAT WE
ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE BE SO DEPENDANT ON U.S WEAPONS? BECAUSE WE CAN
MANUFACTURE OUR OWN. ITS JUST THAT WE WERE NOT READY. ONE THING IS FOR
SURE. NOW THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL KNOW THAT THEY GOT TO FINISH HAMAS OFF.
NO IF ANDS OR BUTS.AND THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO FIGHT HEZBOLLAH IF
WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER OCT 7TH. NO MATTER HOW ALL THE NAZI COCK ROACH
SUPPORTERS AROUND THE WORLD CRY FOWL AGAINST ISRAEL.
WILL THERE BE A MONTREAL TERRORIST ATTACK 2024-WILL TRUDEAU HAVE A CHINA BRIBRERY SCANDLE.WE WILL FIND OUT IN 2024.

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O
Lucifer,(SATAN) son of the morning!(HEBREW-CRECENT MOON-ISLAM) how art
thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For

my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north:

SECOND ANGEL: The Middle East DR DOCTORIAN
Then
Isawthat the second angel had a sickle in his hand,such asis used in
harvesting. The second angelsaid, “Harvest time has come in Israel and
the countries all the wayto Iran.” Isawthose countriesin a
fewsplitseconds. “All of Turkey and those other countries that have
refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill
one another.” I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the
Middle East countries.I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of
Georgia – Iraq, Syria,Lebanon,Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor – full
of blood. Isaw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; nuclear
weapons were used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from
everywhere. Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard
these words, “Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come.”The angel
said, “The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The
Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God.” I saw fires rising to
heaven.The angel said, “This is the final judgment My church shall be
purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from
thirst. Watershall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry
up, and men will fight for water in those countries.” The angelshowed me
that the United Nationsshall be broken in pieces because of the
crisisin the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The
angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.

and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.(DISOLVED FROM
ATOMIC BOMB)(BECAUSE NUKES HAVE BEEN USED ON ISRAELS ENEMIES)(GOD

day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they
shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand
shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN

ISAIAH 54:3
03-King James
Bible-For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and
thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be
inhabited.
The right hand was a symbol of strength-Exodus 15:6, ”
Your right hand, O LORD, is majestic in power. Your right hand, O LORD,
shatters the enemy.”
EZEKIEL 17:15-24 (MUSLIM COUNTRIES HISTORY)
15
But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that
they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he
escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be
delivered?
16 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely in the place
where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and
whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall
die.
17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company
make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to
cut off many persons:
18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the
covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these
things, he shall not escape.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; As
I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he
hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
20 And I
will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I
will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his
trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
21 And all his fugitives
with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall
be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the Lord have
spoken it.
22 Thus saith the Lord God; I will also take of the
highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from
the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high
mountain and eminent:
23 In the mountain of the height of Israel will
I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a
goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the
shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
24 And all the trees
of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high
tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have
made the dry tree to flourish: I the Lord have spoken and have done it.
PSALMS 83:3-7
3 They (ARABS,MUSLIMS) have taken crafty counsel against thy people,(ISRAEL) and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they (MUSLIMS) have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:(TREATIES)

Amalek;(SYRIA,ARABS,SINAI) the Philistines (PALESTINIANS) with the
inhabitants of Tyre;(LEBANON)
8 Assyria (SYRIA) also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah
9 Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera, As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,
10 Who perished at En Dor, Who became as refuse on the earth.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and like Zeeb, Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves The pastures of God for a possession.”
13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like the chaff before the wind!
14 As the fire burns the woods, And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them with Your tempest, And frighten them with Your storm.
16 Fill their faces with shame, That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be [e]confounded and dismayed forever; Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
18 That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord, Are the Most High over all the earth.
And
here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either
through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and
only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this
land in the future.

THE
FIVE ANGELS OF THE CONTINENTS-Message given by Dr. Samuel
Doctorian-16th August 1998 on the Isle of Patmos-This message was
transcribed by Ruthanne Garlock from a tape we received in Singapore on
August 30th, 1998 from Wee Tiong How.
FIRST ANGEL: ASIA
The
first angel said:" I have a message for all of Asia."When he said that,
in a split few seconds, I could see all of China, India, the Asian
countries like Vietnam, Laos - I've never been to those countries. I saw
the Philippines, Japan,Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. And then the
angel showed me all of Papua New Guinea, Iran, Java and down to
Australia and New Zealand."I am the Angel of Asia," he said. And in his
hand I saw a tremendous trumpet that he is going to blow all over Asia.
Whatever the angel said - it's going to happen - with the trumpet of the
Lord all over Asia. Millions are going to hear the mighty voice of the
Lord. Then the angel said:“There shall be disaster, starvation - many
will die from hunger. Strong winds will be blowing like has never
happened before. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed. Earthquakes
will take place all over Asia and the sea will cover the earth.”I saw
this on June 20 (1998). Today is August 16. A few weeks ago I heard the
news of villages completely wiped out and washed into the sea in Papua
New Guinea. Thousands of lives in great jeopardy. That happened a few
weeks ago, and the angel told me it is going to happen all over
Asia."The earth will fall into the sea" I heard the angel say, "part of
Australia will be shaken. Australia will be divided, and a great part
will go under the ocean."This was frightening - I wondered whether I was
hearing right.But the angel said: "Millions will die in China and in
India. Nation will be against nation, brother against brother. Asians
will fight each other. Nuclear weapons shall be used, killing
millions."Twice I heard the words, "Catastrophic! Catastrophic!"Then the
angel said, "Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the
world."I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at
me and smiled and said," There shall be the greatest spiritual awakening
- bondage will be broken. Barriers will be removed. And all over Asia -
China – India - people will turn to Christ. In Australia there shall be
tremendous revival."I heard the angel of Asia say, " It is the last
harvest."Then, as if the Lord were speaking, he said: "I shall prepare
My church for the return of Christ."I was happy with such good news
after the message of judgment. All the time the five angels were in my
room I could feel their presence - it was tremendous.
SECOND ANGEL: MIDDLE EAST
Then
I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used
in harvesting.The second angel said: "Harvest time has come in Israel
and the countries all the way to Iran."I saw those countries in a few
split seconds."All of Turkey and those [inaudible] countries that have
refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill
one another."I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the
Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of
Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full
of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear
weapons used in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere.
Sudden destruction – men destroying one another. I heard these
words:"Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said,
"The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of
God shall prepare the children of God."I saw fires rising to heaven.The
angel said: "This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified,
protected and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water
shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men
will fight for water in those countries."The angel showed me that the
United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the
Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the
sickle shall reap the harvest.
THIRD ANGEL: EUROPE
Then one of
the angels with wings showed me Europe from one end to the other - from
the north all the way down to Spain and Portugal. In his hand he had a
scale of measurement. I saw him fly over Europe, and I heard the words:
"I am grieved. I am grieved. Unrighteousness, uncleanness, ungodliness -
all over Europe. The sin has risen to heaven. The Holy Spirit is
grieved."I saw the rivers of Europe flooding and covering millions of
houses. Millions drown. After seeing this, I read the news a few weeks
ago: Czechoslovakia had the worst flooding ever. I also heard that the
big river in China is in tremendous danger of thousands of houses being
destroyed in flooding. I didn't know all this news until after I had
seen the vision and heard what the angels told me.Suddenly I heard
earthquakes all over Europe."Countries that have had no earthquakes
shall be shaken," said the angel.And suddenly, in my spirit, I saw the
Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling and falling down. A great part of
Germany destroyed. The great city of London - destruction everywhere. I
saw floods all over Scandinavia. I looked to the south and saw Spain and
Portugal passing through hunger and great destruction.Many will die
from hunger all over Spain and Portugal. I was disturbed by all this
news, and I said:" Lord, what about your children?"The angel said: "I
shall prepare them. They shall be looking for the appearing of the Lord.
Many will cry to me in those days and I will save them. I shall perform
mighty miracles for them and show them My power."So in the midst of
great destruction, there will be the grace of God in those countries. I
was happy that God has His protection over His children.
FOURTH ANGEL: AFRICA
Now
we go to Africa. I saw the fourth angel with wings fly over Africa, and
I could see from Cape Town in the south all the way to the north of
Cairo - I saw all the countries there, more than fifty of them. The
Angel of Africa had a sword in his hand - a tremendous, sharp
sword.Suddenly I heard him say: "Innocent blood has been shed. Divisions
amongst the people; generations far from the Lord - they have killed
one another, thousands of people. I have seen my faithful children in
Africa, and I shall reward all the faithful in the continent of Africa. I
shall bless them abundantly.I shall control the weather - scorching and
burning of the sun in some parts. Great rivers shall dry up, and
millions will die from starvation. In other parts, flooding. Foundations
shall be shaken. My sword shall judge the unrighteous and the
bloodthirsty. So many earthquakes shall happen that rivers shall flow in
different directions in the continent,flooding many villages."I saw
great pieces falling from the sky over different parts of Africa."There
shall be trembling of the earth like has not been seen since the
creation. None shall escape the sword of the Lord."I saw the River Nile
drying up. It is the god of Egypt. Fishes dead and stinking all over
Egypt. A great part of the middle of Africa will be covered with water -
millions dying."Lord," I said, "It is all bad news. All destruction.
Any good news?"The Lord said: "The final day has come. Judgment day is
here. My love has been refused now, and the end has come."I was shaking
and trembling. I thought I cannot bear it.
FIFTH ANGEL: NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA
Then
I saw the last angel flying over North and South America - all the way
from the North Pole down to Argentina. From the east of the U.S.A. to
California. I saw in his hand a bowl. The angel said he would pour out
over these countries the judgments that were in the bowl.Then I heard
the angel say: “No justice anymore. No righteousness. No holiness.
Idolatry. Materialism. Drunkenness. Bondage of sin. Shedding of innocent
blood - millions of babies being killed before they are born. Families
are broken. An adulterous generation. Sodom and Gomorrah is here. The
days of Noah are here. False preachers. False prophets. Refusing of my
love. Many of them have the imitation of religion, but denying the real
power.”When I heard all that, I begged the angel: "Can you not wait for a
little while? Don't pour it. Give a chance for repentance."The angel
said: "Many times God has spared and has spoken, but they have not
listened. His patience has come to an end. Beware, the time has come.
They have loved money and pleasure more than they have loved Me."As the
angel began to pour from the bowl in his hand, I saw tremendous icebergs
melting. When that happened, I saw floods all over Canada and North
America - all the rivers flooding; destruction everywhere. I heard the
world market collapsing with mighty earthquakes, and New York
skyscrapers were tumbling – millions dying. I saw ships in the ocean
sinking. I heard explosions all over the north country. I saw the angel
pouring over Mexico and two oceans joining together - the Atlantic and
the Pacific. A great part of north Brazil covered with water, the Amazon
River turning into a great sea. Forests destroyed and flooded. Major
cities in Brazil destroyed; earthquakes in many places.As the angel
poured, great destruction took place in Chile and Argentina as never
before. The whole world was shaking.Then I heard the angel say:" This
will happen in a very short time."I said, "Can't you postpone? Don't
pour these things out all over the globe."And suddenly I saw the five
angels standing around the globe lifting up their hands and their wings
towards heaven and saying:“All glory to the Lord of heaven and earth.
Now the time has come and He will glorify His Son. The earth shall be
burned and destroyed. All things shall pass away. The new Heaven and New
Earth shall come. God shall destroy the works of the devil forever. I
shall show My power - how I will protect My children in the midst of all
this destruction.”Be ready for that day, for the Lord has come. My room
was full of light from the brightness of the angels. Then suddenly they
ascended up to heaven. As I looked up, I saw the angels go in five
directions. I know they already have started their duties.For more than
an hour I could not move. I was wide awake, trembling from time to
time.I said: " Lord, shall I leave Patmos now?"He said: "No, I brought
you here for a purpose."I said:" The message from the angels all over
the world is not good news. It is judgment, punishment, destruction,
devastation. What will people say about me? I've always been a preacher
of love, peace and good news."The angel said: "It is our message. You
are the instrument, the channel. What a privilege that God has chosen
you to give this message to the nations."

IDF reveals
Gaza tunnel, previously used by Hamas officials, with cell for
hostages-Military says 12 captives were held in the tunnel at various
times; army says troops killed dozens of operatives in south Gaza city
over past day; ground op toll reaches 227-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 3:31
pm-FEB 7,24
The Israel Defense Forces revealed on Wednesday a
barred cell area in a major Hamas tunnel in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis
that it said was used by the terror group to hold hostages.The military
said a total of 12 hostages were held in the tunnel at different times,
three of whom have already returned to Israel.In addition to the cell
used to hold hostages, troops found a bathroom and a rest area for the
terrorists guarding the captives.The IDF said senior Hamas officials had
resided in the tunnel before it was repurposed to hold the hostages,
and that troops recovered various items and weapons in the subterranean
passage.The military said the tunnel was built “in the heart of a
civilian area in Khan Younis” and according to its estimates, millions
of shekels were invested in its construction.Troops of the elite Yahalom
combat engineering unit and other special forces under the 98th
Division raided the “strategic” underground network, which the IDF said
was around one kilometer long (0.6 mile).“The troops battled terrorists
in the tunnel, breached blast doors, and neutralized explosive devices,”
the IDF said, adding that the tunnel is part of a “branching
underground labyrinth” that also connects to another tunnel where
hostages were held, revealed by the IDF several weeks ago.The revelation
came hours after Hamas proposed a ceasefire plan that would see a
four-and-a-half-month truce during which the hostages would be freed in
three stages, and which would lead to an end to the war. This was the
terror group’s counterproposal to an outline sent last week by Qatari
and Egyptian mediators and backed by the United States and Israel. The
Hamas plan would also see steps taken to address the spiraling
humanitarian crisis in the enclave.It is believed that 132 hostages
abducted by Hamas on October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of them alive —
after 105 civilians were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong
truce in late November. Four hostages were released prior to that, and
one was rescued by troops.The bodies of eight hostages have also been
recovered and three hostages were mistakenly killed by the military.
Hamas is also holding two Israeli civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham
al-Sayed, who are both thought to be alive after entering the Strip of
their own accord in 2014 and 2015, respectively, along with the bodies
of fallen IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, since 2014.The
Israel Defense Forces confirmed Monday that at least 31 of the hostages
held in Gaza are no longer alive, including Shaul and Goldin. The New
York Times said another 20 are also feared dead, but the IDF did not
confirm this.Israel launched its punishing campaign against Hamas after
the terror group led an unprecedented assault into southern Israel on
October 7, killing some 1,200 people in Israel, most of them civilians,
and kidnapping 253 to Gaza, while committing brutal atrocities including
mass sexual violence.On Wednesday it was announced that Staff Sgt.
(res.) Hanan Drori, 26, had died from a fungal infection after being
seriously injured in Gaza, bringing the toll of slain troops in the
ground offensive against Hamas to 227.More than 27,400 Palestinians have
been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. These
figures cannot be independently verified, are believed to include
fatalities caused by failed rocket fire by Gaza terror groups, and do
not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Israel says it has
killed 10,000 Hamas gunmen in Gaza, as well as 1,000 terrorists in
Israel on October 7.The IDF said Wednesday that ground troops are
continuing to raid Hamas sites across the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli Air
Force and Navy hit targets belonging to the terror group.The IDF said
the Paratroopers Brigade battled and killed dozens of Hamas operatives
in western Khan Younis over the past day. The soldiers also discovered
and seized weapons used by Hamas, including assault rifles and
explosives, the IDF said.Also in western Khan Younis, the IDF said
troops of the Maglan commando unit killed several Hamas gunmen in
close-quarters combat, including three operatives who fired anti-tank
missiles, and the Egoz commando units raided several Hamas sites,
killing operatives in the process and discovering tunnel shafts.In
another area of Khan Younis, the IDF, said the 646th Reserve
Paratroopers Brigade spotted a Hamas operative near them and called in
an airstrike. A short while later, three more operatives were spotted
and were also struck and killed in strikes, the IDF said.The Givati
Brigade, also in Khan Younis, killed several Hamas operatives and
located weapons and documents belonging to the terror group, it
said.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Macron
hosts memorial for Oct. 7, the ‘biggest antisemitic massacre of our
century’French president honors his country’s 42 citizens killed in
Hamas’s brutal incursion, vows to work ‘every day’ for release of
hostages, calls ongoing war ‘tornado of suffering’By AFP and ToI Staff
Today, 3:23 pm-FEB 7,24
French President Emmanuel Macron on
Wednesday described the October 7 massacre by Hamas in Israel as the
“biggest antisemitic massacre of our century” as he hosted a ceremony
paying tribute to the French victims.He described the attack by the
Palestinian terror group as “barbarism… which is fed by antisemitism and
propagates it,” vowing also not to give in to “rampant and uninhibited
antisemitism.”The ceremony at the Invalides Memorial complex in Paris
paid tribute to the 42 French citizens killed in the brutal incursion
into southern communities by Hamas and the three others still missing,
believed to be held hostage.Macron said France would work “every day”
for the release of the remaining French hostages. “Their empty chairs
are there,” he said at the ceremony.“Nothing can justify or excuse
terrorism,” he said.The French presidency has also indicated it will
provide an opportunity to remember French victims of Israel’s
bombardments of the Gaza Strip but has not given details on the
format.War erupted with Hamas’s devastating onslaught on Israel on
October 7, when terrorists murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians,
and seized around 250 hostages, of whom 132 remain in Gaza, and 29 are
believed to have died.Israel vowed to eliminate Hamas and launched
airstrikes and a ground offensive that have killed at least 27,585
people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run Gaza
health ministry. The figure cannot be independently verified and is
believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza,
including as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires. The
IDF says it has killed some 10,000 Hamas terrorists in battle. Israel
also says it killed some 1,000 gunmen inside Israel on October 7.“All
lives are equal, are invaluable in the eyes of France,” said Macron,
describing war as a “tornado of suffering.”He also vowed that France
would “never allow the spirit of revenge to prosper” and that “in these
challenges, nothing should divide us.”He said that France would do
everything to “respond to the aspirations of peace and security for
everyone in the Middle East.”
Winter showers boost wheat crop,
but water worries continue to stalk farmers-Downpours over last two
weeks are welcomed in Israel’s northern Negev breadbasket, but drops
will need to keep falling for next two months to avoid poor harvest, say
cultivators-By Sue Surkes-Today, 1:20 pm-FEB 7,24
Many farmers
of rain-fed crops such as wheat and barley have been celebrating the wet
weather that has drenched much of the country for the past two
weeks.Around 1.1 million dunams (270,000 acres) are cultivated for wheat
in Israel each year, with half of it used for hay, mainly for the dairy
industry, and the other half for grain and straw, according to David
Levy, general manager of the Israel Association of Field Crop Growers.
An additional 50,000 dunams (12,300 acres), are used for barley, which
is more drought-resistant than wheat. Barley is primarily used for
animal feed.According to data from the Israel Meteorological Service,
parts of the country have gotten over 700 millimeters of water so far
this fall and winter, nearly double the seasonal average. In the western
Negev, an area known as Israel’s breadbasket, the totals have been
lower, but have still neared seasonal averages, with a large chunk of
the rain coming in the last few weeks’ downpours.“There’s been some
flooding, but the damage is negligible compared with the benefits,” said
Levy.Roughly 400,000 dunams (just under 100,000 acres) of land in
southern Israel is used for wheat cultivation, of which 120,000 dunams
(30,000 acres) are within seven kilometers (4.35 miles) of the Gaza
border, an area largely evacuated in the wake of the October 7 Hamas
attack.Much of the barley is also cultivated in the Negev.Despite the
recent rains, farmers say the showers will need to continue falling for
the next two months for the crop to really benefit.“We start sowing at
the beginning of November,” Levy said. “The seeds sit in the ground and
wait for rain. Now we need rain in February and particularly March when
the grain seeds (on the wheat) start filling out. Otherwise, they’ll be
small and not in the best state for milling.”At Kibbutz Negba in the
northern Negev east of Ashkelon, farmer Idan Kaufman, 49, said the wheat
Negba grows in partnership with Moshav Masu’ot Yitzhak looked
great.From August 1 to February 5, the kibbutz received 351 millimeters
(13.8 inches) of rain, 98 percent of the average for the corresponding
period. Over 40% of that total has come since January 21, according to
official data. The kibbutz averages 485 millimeters (19 inches) a
year.“We missed the first rains and the wheat germinated around December
20,” said Kaufman. “Then it wasn’t too hot. There were small amounts of
rain, then the big downpour. There’ll probably be a bit more in a
couple of weeks, and in March there are usually a few drops.”Further
south, though, Yaniv Blushtein, 64, from Kibbutz Mishmar Hanegev,
northwest of Beersheba, was feeling less certain.In partnership with
Kibbutz Beit Kama, Mishmar Hanegev grows 20,000 dunams (just under 5,000
acres) of wheat and barley.The area had seen only 90 millimeters (3.5
inches) this season so far, down 28% from the seasonal average to this
point, according to official readings in Beersheba.Blushtein said the
kibbutz had received a bit more rain than that so far this winter,
though only 35 millimeters (1.4 inches) had fallen over the past two
weeks. On average, the kibbutz gets 220 millimeters (8.7 inches) a year,
he said.“We sowed in November, there was a bit of rain, the seeds
germinated and then the (rainfed) plants went yellow,” Blushtein said.
“The rain of the last fortnight brought them back to life. There’s
damage, but we have to see how much. There’s no rain expected for the
next 10 days.”The kibbutz irrigates about half of its wheat with
whatever is left over from watering other crops. It uses a mixture of
drinking water, treated and recycled water from Shafdan, a wastewater
treatment plant in central Israel, and recycled wastewater from the
nearby Bedouin city of Rahat which is stored in a reservoir nearby.“It
probably won’t be a good year,” Blushtein said. “The winter didn’t start
well. It was warm. We don’t know where it will go. The uncertainty is
part of growing field crops.”With climate change leading to warmer
winters, fewer rain events, and periods of more concentrated, heavy
rainfall when there is precipitation, farmers are wondering what lies in
store for them over the coming months and years.Israel imports a
million tons of wheat every year and produces 100,000 to 150,000 tons
locally, according to Levy. This year, cultivation is likely even
smaller due to the October 7 Hamas assault on southern Israel, in which
Israeli farming communities near the Gaza border were brutally attacked,
with some 1,200 people killed and another 253 kidnapped.A major factor
limiting wheat-growing in Israel is access to water, especially in drier
areas like the Negev and the Jordan Valley. If farmers could water
their fields affordably, “we could probably double grain production in
the country,” Levy said.Blushtein said bigger quantities of water, an
expanded distribution network, and lower water prices (a cubic meter
currently costs NIS 1.4, or 38 cents) would be needed to grow grains as
the climate warms.In the meantime, scientists at Israel’s national
agricultural research and development center, Volcani, are creating more
drought-resistant grain varieties, as are commercial Israeli seed
companies such as Hazera Seeds and Agridera Seeds.“The world population
is growing, the climate situation is not getting better, the amount of
arable land on which wheat can be grown is limited, and the question of
agricultural commodities, and wheat specifically, will become an issue
over the next two to three decades,” Levy said.Levy noted that growing
wheat locally was essential for the country’s food security, adding that
cutting back on imports would also reduce global warming emissions
associated with shipping food, as well as the fact that most of the
wheat was coming from Russia.“We’re supporting [Russian President
Vladimir] Putin,” he said. “It’s crazy.”“We can be boycotted, there can
be a war and the ports can be closed,” Levy said. “Thinking that
everything can be taken care of by imports doesn’t make sense.”
Syria
accuses Israel of striking army posts, airbase in Homs area-State media
says several civilians killed and wounded in attack that damaged
public, private property; IDF does not comment By Emanuel Fabian
and Agencies Today, 7:54 am-FEB 7,24
Israeli
aircraft carried out strikes late Tuesday in Syria, state media
reported, in the latest attack there attributed to Israel amid the
ongoing war in Gaza.Syria’s state-run SANA news agency, citing a
military source, said a number of civilians were killed and wounded in
an alleged Israeli strike on the Homs area.SANA said Israeli warplanes
launched their missiles from an area north of Lebanon’s Tripoli,
targeting several sites in Homs and the nearby area.The source claimed
Syrian air defenses shot down some of the Israeli missiles.In addition
to the casualties, SANA said damage was caused to both public and
private property.Local sources told Reuters that the attack targeted
several Syrian army outposts and an airbase in the Homs area, with a
Syrian military intelligence source familiar with the matter saying it
targeted the Shayrat airbase.#Syria says #Israel bombed targets in Homs

station said the areas struck included the affluent al-Malaab
neighborhood and Hamra Street. It said Israel also struck farmland in
al-Waer, causing fires but no casualties there.State television showed
ambulances rushing to the scene of a strike, where wreckage and debris
lay from a building that was hit. Reuters could not verify the location
of the site.The Israel Defense Forces did not comment on the
reports.Since the Gaza war erupted, Israel has stepped up a years-long
campaign of airstrikes aimed at rolling back its arch-foe Iran’s
presence in Syria, attacking both Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps and
Hezbollah, which has been exchanging fire with Israel across the
Lebanese-Israeli border since October 8.Israel rarely comments on its
attacks in Syria and has not declared responsibility for the recent
strikes there, aside from its responses to the firing of projectiles
launched from Syria.In one of the attacks, on January 20, five members
of the Guards were killed, Iranian state media reported, including a
general who ran intelligence for the Quds Force, which is responsible
for the Guards’ overseas operations. The strike flattened a Damascus
building.Another, on December 25 outside Damascus, killed a senior
Guards adviser responsible for coordinating between Syria and Iran.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei led prayers at his
funeral.Iranian forces came to Syria at Bashar Assad’s invitation,
helping him to beat back rebels who had seized control of swathes of the
country in the conflict that began in 2011.Years after Assad and his
allies won back most of Syria, Iran-backed groups still operate across
large areas.War erupted when the Iran-backed terror group Hamas launched
a massive onslaught on October 7, killing some 1,200 people in Israel
and kidnapping 253, mostly civilians, amid horrendous acts of brutality
and sexual assault.In response, Israel vowed to eliminate Hamas,
launching a wide-scale military campaign in Gaza aimed at destroying the
group’s military and governance capabilities.Iran, which supports Hamas
both financially and militarily, has hailed the devastating October 7
attacks as a “success” but denied any direct involvement.
US wary
Ben Gvir could inflame tensions at Temple Mount over Ramadan —
officials-Administration worried visit by far-right minister during
fraught period risks dragging Jerusalem into broader conflict, is
pushing for truce by start of holy month in March-BY Jacob Magid-Today,
5:50 am-FEB 7,24
The Biden administration is highly concerned
that far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir will try and
spark tensions at the Temple Mount during Ramadan next month, in what
Washington fears could drag the flashpoint issue of Jerusalem into the
ongoing Middle East conflict that it’s seeking to contain, a US official
and an Israeli official told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.The US is
worried that Ben Gvir will again visit the Temple Mount during Ramadan,
which begins around March 10, the officials said, speaking on condition
of anonymity.The firebrand lawmaker has toured the site three times
since becoming a minister in December 2022, drawing a flood of
condemnations each time from Israel’s allies around the globe who view
such a step by a politician who has long called for upending the fragile
status quo at the site as provocative.Under the status quo, an
arrangement that has prevailed for decades in cooperation with Jordan,
Jews and other non-Muslims are permitted to tour the Temple Mount during
certain hours but may not pray there. In recent years, record numbers
of Jewish religious nationalists have visited the site and many have
begun praying there as police have increasingly refrained from cracking
down on the apparent violation. This has infuriated Palestinians and
Muslims around the world who often view these measures as part of an
effort to restrict their presence at the compound, which is the third
holiest in Islam and the holiest in Judaism, having been the site of the
two ancient Jewish temples.Those fears peak each year during the
Islamic month of fasting when the holy site sees a major influx of
Muslim visitors, some of whom are known to clash with police.But this
year there is even greater concern due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war
in Gaza, which was sparked by the October 7 terror onslaught in which
some 1,200 people were killed and 253 taken hostage. Hamas named the
attack “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” after the mosque atop the Temple
Mount, and Iran-backed armed groups in other countries that have joined
in the conflict also include references to Jerusalem in their
messaging.As minister in charge of police, Ben Gvir plays a critical
role in law enforcement at the site, and there’s concern in Washington
as well as within the Israeli security establishment that a directive
from above for officers to come down too hard on agitators or enter the
Al Aqsa Mosque to quash clashes could risk sparking violence in
Jerusalem, the West Bank and beyond, the Israeli official said.For the
past three years, Biden officials have sounded alarm bells ahead of
Ramadan, urging Jerusalem to take steps to lower tensions amid fears of
tensions in the city bubbling over, as they did in May 2021 when Hamas
rocket fire at the city sparked the last war between Israel and the
Gaza-ruling terror group.US officials hailed Netanyahu’s government for
heeding last year when the premier overrode Ben Gvir’s call to allow
Jewish worshipers to continue visiting the Temple Mount on the final 10
days of Ramadan, which would’ve gone against longstanding Israeli
policy.There was particular concern in recent years due to the overlap
of Ramadan with the holiday of Passover, which also brings with it an
uptick of Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount. This year though,
Passover will take place several weeks after Ramadan concludes.Ben
Gvir’s last visit to the Temple Mount was in July during the Tisha B’Av
fast day, and it led Bahrain to postpone the trip of then foreign
minister Eli Cohen to Manama.He sought to tour the site again during
last fall’s Jewish holiday season but was said to have been talked down
from the idea by Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.Ben Gvir has pledged to
continue visiting the site, and has increasingly called on the
government to take a less conciliatory approach during the war, which
has seen his far-right Otzma Yehudit party climb in many
polls.Accordingly, the US and Israeli officials who spoke with The Times
of Israel expressed concern that the national security minister will be
harder to talk down this time around.Such apprehensions are part of why
the Biden administration is keen to secure an extended humanitarian
pause in Gaza before Ramadan begins next month, the US official
explained.“If a lid isn’t put on this by then, we’ll be looking at an
even more dangerous picture,” the official said, adding that Blinken was
sure to raise the issue with Israeli leaders during his meetings in Tel
Aviv on Wednesday.Ben Gvir’s office declined a request to comment on
the matter.The national security minister had several of his colleagues
rushing to conduct damage control earlier this week after he told the
Wall Street Journal that the Biden administration’s handling of the war
was benefitting Hamas and that Israel would have been better off dealing
with a second Trump administration.Ben Gvir’s son later likened Biden
to an Alzheimer’s patient in a post that led the minister to apologize
and order it be taken down.Opposition leader Yair Lapid warned Monday
that if Ben Gvir is allowed to determine police conduct on the Temple
Mount and in Jerusalem during Ramadan, the city will “go up in
flames.”“The country is not ready for this. There is no preparation.
There were no operational and political discussions at an adequate
level. We are headed for disaster, another disaster,” Lapid
claimed.“This is what [Ben Gvir] wants, but it is not what the State of
Israel needs,” Lapid said of Ben Gvir, calling on Netanyahu to restrict
the minister’s authority and to appoint a team to oversee Israel’s
preparations for the volatile period.“We didn’t need the interview in
the Wall Street Journal to remind us that Ben Gvir is a dangerous clown
who prefers to light fires instead of putting them out, but during
Ramadan, this could cause an all-out conflagration that would cost human
lives,” he added.Defense Minister Yoav Gallant was asked Monday about
Ben Gvir’s involvement in arrangements for Ramadan prayers on the Temple
Mount to which he responded, “I am busy with issues of the security
establishment,” adding that the far-right minister is not a key
decision-maker in security issues.
Russia, Turkey, Egypt, Qatar,
UN said to serve as guarantors-Hamas proposes 3-stage 135-day truce and
hostage deal, leading to war’s end – reports-Terror group seeking
withdrawal of Israeli forces, freedom for 1,500 Palestinian prisoners
including 500 serving life in exchange for hostages; demands continued
UNRWA role in Gaza-By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 12:27 pm-FEB 7,24
Hamas
has proposed a ceasefire plan that would see a four-and-a-half-month
truce during which hostages would be freed in three stages, and which
would lead to an end to the war, in response to a proposed outline sent
last week by Qatari and Egyptian mediators and backed by the United
States and Israel.A source close to the negotiations told Reuters that
the Hamas counterproposal did not require a guarantee of a permanent
ceasefire at the outset, but that an end to the war would have to be
agreed on during the truce before the final hostages were
freed.According to a draft document seen by Reuters, the Hamas
counterproposal envisions three phases, each lasting 45 days.During the
first 45-day phase, all Israeli women hostages, males under 19 and the
elderly and sick would be released, in exchange for female and underage
Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli jails. Israel would withdraw
troops from populated areas.Implementation of the second phase would not
begin until the sides conclude “indirect talks over the requirements
needed to end the mutual military operations and return to complete
calm.”The second phase would include the release of remaining male
hostages and full Israeli withdrawal from all of Gaza. Bodies and
remains would be exchanged during the third phase.By the end of the
third phase, Hamas would expect the sides to have reached agreement on
an end to the war.The terror group, which governs Gaza, said in an
addendum to the proposal that it sought the release of 1,500 prisoners
from Israeli jails, a third of whom it wanted to select from the a list
of Palestinians serving life sentences.The truce would also increase the
flow of food and other humanitarian aid to Gaza, at a rate of no fewer
than 500 trucks per day.Lebanese news outlet al-Akhbar, thought to have
ties to the Hezbollah terror group, also said it had seen the
counterproposal from Hamas, apparently including an addendum with far
greater detail on the first phase of the proposal.According to the
al-Akhbar report, the first stage would see Israeli forces withdraw from
populated areas, and the United Nations would be permitted to set up
tent encampments. This phase would also see the cessation of all forms
of air activity, including reconnaissance, for the duration of the
period.The report also said that the prisoners freed from Israeli jails
would need to include Arab Israelis.The report also said that under
Hamas’s framework, Gazans would be given freedom of movement, including
of the sick and wounded through Rafah to Egypt; heavy equipment would
enter the Strip for the removal of rubble; health ministry and civil
defense equipment would be replaced; hospitals would be rebuilt; tent
cities would be set up to house the population; at least 60,00 temporary
homes would be supplied as well as 200,000 tents at a rate of 50,000
per week; the reconstruction of water, electricity and communications
networks would start; a plan would be made for the reconstruction of
homes, economic establishments and public facilities to take no longer
than three years; the fuel to Gaza for the reconfiguration of power
plants would resume; Israel would commit to the supply of electricity
and water; there would be indirect discussions for a continued
ceasefire; and humanitarian services by international organizations
including the United Nations, especially UNRWA, would resume.The
specific inclusion of UNRWA is significant, as Israel has said that it
would not allow the Palestinian refugee agency to operate in the Strip
at the conclusion of the war, after alleging that 12 of the
organization’s staffers participated in the Hamas-led October 7 terror
onslaught. Israel has long said UNRWA was, willfully or under threat,
providing cover for Hamas terrorists.The Al-Akbar report also said that
Hamas stated that the situation on the flashpoint Temple Mount in
Jerusalem must return to its pre-2002 status. It is unclear which event
was being referred to in that year.Notably, according to Al-Akbar, the
framework has Russia and Turkey as guarantors, in addition to Egypt,
Qatar and the UN.It is believed that 132 hostages abducted by Hamas on
October 7 remain in Gaza — not all of them alive — after 105 civilians
were released from Hamas captivity during a weeklong truce in late
November. Four hostages were released prior to that, and one was rescued
by troops. The bodies of eight hostages have also been recovered and
three hostages were mistakenly killed by the military. One more person
is listed as missing since October 7, and their fate is still
unknown.Hamas is also holding the bodies of fallen IDF soldiers Oron
Shaul and Hadar Goldin since 2014, as well as two Israeli civilians,
Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who are both thought to be alive
after entering the Strip of their own accord in 2014 and 2015
respectively.Hamas’s framework includes an eventual permanent ceasefire,
a nonstarter for Israel, which has vowed to destroy the terror
group.Unnamed Israeli officials told the Ynet news site on Wednesday
that “we cannot accept a demand to stop the war,” and highlighted the
“demand for the release of 1,500 Palestinian prisoners, including
serious terrorists.”Nonetheless, Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin
Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said Doha was “optimistic” after
receiving the terror group’s “positive response.” US President Joe
Biden, on the other hand, said Hamas’s reply was “a little over the
top,” while noting that negotiations were ongoing.Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel’s Mossad spy agency had received
Hamas’s response through Qatari mediators and was reviewing the
proposal.Hamas took over a week to respond to the framework proposal,
which was formulated in Paris on January 28 by Israeli, American, Qatari
and Egyptian officials, and conveyed to Hamas by Qatar. The original
framework has not been officially published but is thought to provide
for an extended pause in the fighting in exchange for the staggered
release of the remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and the
release of a large number of Palestinian security prisoners by
Israel.The proposal was reportedly approved by Israel on January 29, but
is only an intended outline for negotiations. The sides would still
have to agree on thorny issues, including the length of the truce and
the number of security prisoners Israel would have to release.This could
risk toppling Netanyahu’s coalition, where right-wing elements have
expressed opposition to the release of large numbers of Palestinian
terrorists, even as pressure from the families of the hostages and large
swaths of the public grows for the government to strike a deal to save
the hostages before it is too late.The Israel Defense Forces confirmed
Monday that at least 31 of the hostages held in Gaza are no longer
alive. The New York Times said another 20 are also feared dead; the IDF
did not confirm this.Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (L), ruler of Qatar

whom 132 remain in captivity in Gaza.Israel subsequently launched a
counteroffensive aimed at dismantling Hamas and returning the hostages.
More than 27,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the
Hamas-run health ministry. These figures cannot be independently
verified, are believed to include fatalities caused by failed rocket
fire by Gaza terror groups, and do not distinguish between civilians and
combatants. Israel says it has killed 10,000 Hamas gunmen in Gaza, as
well as 1,000 terrorists in Israel on October 7. Two hundred and
twenty-seven soldiers have been killed in Gaza.Jacob Magid contributed

Fuming, Saudi Arabia claims US suggested
normalization could come without ceasefire-Riyadh says it ‘communicated
its firm position,’ after US defense spokesman called hostage deal and
normalization ‘distinct tracks’ and said ‘positive’ talks had been
held-By Jacob Magid-Today, 10:18 am-FEB 7,24
Saudi Arabia’s
foreign ministry issued a stern statement Tuesday rejecting what it
claimed was US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby’s
suggestion that Riyadh is prepared to normalize relations before there
is a ceasefire in Gaza and without progress toward Palestinian
statehood.Kirby was asked during a press briefing earlier in the day
whether securing a hostage deal and a Saudi normalization agreement are
part of the same US effort. Kirby responded that they’re two distinct
tracks, and noted that the US has held “positive” talks with Riyadh on
the matter both before and after October 7.Saudi officials have publicly
acknowledged their willingness to normalize relations with Israel, even
after October 7, but they’ve stressed — as has US Secretary of State
Antony Blinken — that no deal can be reached until there is a ceasefire
in Gaza and that it must include the creation of an irreversible pathway
toward a Palestinian state.Either because Kirby’s separation of the
hostage talks from the normalization negotiations could be understood to
mean that Riyadh would be prepared to establish relations before there
is a truce, or because the White House spokesman was overly optimistic
in his characterization of the talks, Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry
decided to call him out.“Regarding the discussions between the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America on the Arab-Israeli
peace process, and in light of what has been attributed to the US
National Security [Council] spokesperson, the ministry of foreign
affairs affirms that the position of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always
been steadfast on the Palestinian issue and the necessity that the
brotherly Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights,” the
statement asserted.“The kingdom has communicated its firm position to
the US administration that there will be no diplomatic relations with
Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognized on the 1967
borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that the Israeli
aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and all Israeli occupation forces
withdraw from the Gaza Strip,” the statement added.While Saudi officials
in recent months have moved away from their long-held position that a
fully implemented two-state solution is a precondition to normalization
with Israel, they hadn’t yet specified the kind of more provisional
steps they would accept in exchange for an agreement with Israel,
sufficing with statements regarding improving Palestinian livelihood or
creating a pathway toward the establishment of a Palestinian
state.Recognition of a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines appeared
to be the most detailed stipulation that Riyadh has offered in recent
months. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has all but rejected a
two-state solution and a large percentage of Israelis would oppose a
framework based on the pre-1967 lines, the Saudi statement notably
refrained from specifically demanding that Israel be the one to
recognize an independent Palestinian state, instead placing the onus on
members of the UN Security Council.“The kingdom reiterates its call to
the permanent members of the UN Security Council that have not yet
recognized the Palestinian state, to expedite the recognition of the
Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its
capital, so that the Palestinian people can obtain their legitimate
rights and so that a comprehensive and just peace is achieved for all,”
the Saudi foreign ministry added.The statement was issued just one day
after Blinken met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh,
in a possible indication that the sit-down did not go well.Still, by
directing the demand for Palestinian state recognition at Security
Council members, such as the US, rather than at Israel, Riyadh can be
seen as presenting Washington with a way around the Netanyahu
government’s rejection of a two-state solution.It also came less than a
week after UK Foreign Minister David Cameron said his government was
considering recognizing an independent Palestinian state. Days later,
the Axios news site reported that the US was weighing the same step
after having long rejected it on the basis that the move should come
after Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to a two-state
solution.Blinken will meet Wednesday with Netanyahu, IDF chief of staff
Herzi Halevi, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and President Isaac
Herzog.The meetings come a day after Hamas submitted its response to a
framework for a hostage deal proposed by Qatar last month, appearing to
maintain its demand for a permanent ceasefire, a nonstarter for Israel,
which has vowed to destroy the terror group.Blinken is in the midst of
his fifth Mideast diplomacy tour since the start of the war, which was
sparked by Hamas’s terror onslaught that killed some 1,200 Israelis and
saw another 253 people taken hostage.
Mayorkas impeachment fails,
amid objections by Jewish groups over antisemitism-Community groups say
process invoked anti-immigrant ‘Great Replacement’ conspiracy against
Jewish homeland secretary, as GOP rails against administration over
influx of migrants-By Ron Kampeas Today, 8:57 am-FEB 7,24
WASHINGTON
(JTA) — The US House of Representatives narrowly voted against
impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, the Jewish homeland security secretary,
after a process that a number of Jewish groups and the White House said
was marred by antisemitism.The vote Tuesday evening was 216 against to
214 for impeachment, a stunning loss for House Speaker Mike Johnson, the
Louisiana Republican. Four Republicans voted against impeachment in the
narrowly split chamber. Johnson had championed the impeachment even in
the face of evidence that it might not pass.Right-wing Republicans have
been agitating for a year to impeach Mayorkas, who they say is
neglecting the migrant influx at the US-Mexico border to an extent that
amounts to high crimes and misdemeanors — the constitutional standard
for impeaching a public official. There has recently been a record
number of migrants, more than 10,000 per day, crossing the southern
border.The impeachment vote came as House Republicans, including
Johnson, have vowed to vote against a bipartisan Senate bill that would
bolster border security while providing aid to Israel and Ukraine.
Republicans on the right, as well as their likely presidential nominee,
Donald Trump, say their bill’s border provisions do not go far enough.
The impeachment was voted down on the same night that a standalone bill
on aid to Israel also failed in the House.Democrats have defended
Mayorkas’ performance, and a handful of Republicans have said that while
they believe his performance is subpar, impeaching officials for being
bad on the job would set a precedent that would lead to chaos. Mayorkas
would have been the first cabinet official impeached in a century and a
half.Jewish opponents of impeachment have also said the anti-Mayorkas
rhetoric has echoed antisemitism. Seventeen Jewish groups released a
statement Monday, ahead of the vote, saying the impeachment process
could “further normalize dangerous antisemitic, white supremacist, and
anti-immigrant conspiracy theories.”The groups cited repeated allusions
by Republicans to the “Great Replacement,” a theory that claims Jews are
behind an effort to replace white Americans with immigrants of
color.“Attacks against Secretary Mayorkas have invoked the so-called
‘great replacement’ theory, which relies on dangerous antisemitic
stereotypes in alleging a vast conspiracy to support an ‘invasion’ of
immigrants, ‘replace’ white voters, and seize power in the United
States, while also fueling anti-immigrant bigotry and white supremacy,”
said a release accompanying the statement. The groups that signed the
statement included HIAS, the main Jewish immigration advocacy and
refugee aid group; the National Council of Jewish Women; the Jewish
Council for Public Affairs; and arms of the Reform, Conservative, and
Reconstructionist religious movements.In a bid to prove Mayorkas’ intent
to break the law, a key requirement in any impeachment, Rep. Mark
Green, the Tennessee Republican who is the chairman of the Homeland
Security Committee and who authored the impeachment charges, last month
said Mayorkas wanted to “fundamentally change the population of the
United States, and I believe to empower the Democrat party in
perpetuity.”Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who has
come under fire for her association with antisemitic figures and
theories, at one point filed an impeachment resolution that repeatedly
accused Mayorkas of failing to protect the United States from
“invasion,” although hers was not the impeachment resolution under
consideration on Tuesday.The American Jewish Committee separately this
week sent a letter to every House representative urging against
impeachment, in part because of the rhetoric surrounding the
debate.“Some assert that Secretary Mayorkas is purposefully allowing
increased numbers of migrants to enter the border in order to alter the
demographics of the United States, alluding to the Great Replacement
conspiracy which is rooted in the belief that the white race is under
threat of extinction at the hands of Jews and other minorities,” said
the letter, which AJC shared with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. “This
type of dangerous rhetoric is dangerous to Jews, Latinos, and all
vulnerable minorities.”Concerns about antisemitic rhetoric were
compounded on Tuesday ahead of the vote when Politico reported that
Green, in a heated meeting with Republicans opposed to the impeachment,
called Mayorkas a “reptile without balls.” The White House condemned the
statement, calling it “vile” antisemitism. Green denied antisemitic
intent.Mayorkas, whose mother was a Holocaust survivor who immigrated to
Cuba, and then fled to the United States with her Jewish husband, is
close to the Jewish community. He had led advocacy for increased
security grants for Jewish institutions, both in his current role and
when he was deputy secretary in the same department under then-president
Barack Obama.He has said his sensibility as the child of Jewish
refugees has shaped his outlook, a factor that helps explain the
outspoken Jewish defenses on his behalf.“When an antisemitic,
anti-immigrant conspiracy is evoked to take down a Jewish public
servant, who served on the board of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society,
the same organization that helped bring my own family to the US after
the Holocaust, the same organization evoked by the perpetrator of the
largest antisemitic attack in US history, my antennae go up,” Abe
Foxman, the retired national director of the Anti-Defamation League,
wrote Tuesday in an op-ed for Time Magazine.Green said he would try
again to impeach Mayorkas. Any impeachment would be symbolic as the
Democratic-led Senate would almost certainly not convict Mayorkas.
