Netanyahu: I want to end war ASAP, told IDF to shorten timeline for capturing Gaza City By Nava Freiberg-AUG 10,25

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the security cabinet’s approval of a plan to take over Gaza City is a result of Hamas’s “continued refusal” to compromise in negotiations for a truce, and rejects claims that the plan will aimlessly prolong the war.Speaking before live TV cameras and reporters during a press conference for local media at his Jerusalem office, Netanyahu says that, “After months of fruitless negotiations, it has become clear beyond doubt that Hamas simply is not interested in a deal. Hamas has clung to this refusal.”Hamas “has raised impossible conditions — not only in our view, but also in the view of the United States,” he charges, saying “They include, among other things, a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip — including from the Philadelphi Corridor — which would allow the free smuggling of weapons; the release of imprisoned terrorists, these monsters; and a demand for binding international guarantees that would prevent the IDF from resuming combat. These are terms of surrender that no responsible government would agree to accept — and certainly I will not accept them.”“Hamas has deceived us. Therefore, I have become convinced that the only way to return all our hostages is to defeat Hamas,” says Netanyahu.He adds that in the security cabinet’s discussions, “an alternative was also raised — to hold our position while encircling the remaining Hamas strongholds and carrying out raids.After an in-depth discussion, an overwhelming majority of cabinet members concluded that by this method, we would achieve neither victory nor the return of our hostages.”The decision for the expanded takeover was achieved “despite immense pressures from home and abroad — pressures to stop the war,” which Netanyahu says existed “even before we entered Rafah” last year.The premier says that if he had yielded “to those pressures,” Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh “would still be ruling in Gaza, [former Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah would be in Lebanon, [former Syrian president Bashar] al-Assad in Syria, and Iran today would be racing toward a nuclear weapon.”“I am determined to end the war with our victory, and precisely because I am aware of the great effort of our reservists, I want to end the war as quickly as possible. That is why I have instructed the IDF to shorten the timetable for taking control of Gaza City,” he says, adding, “I do not intend to perpetuate Hamas — I intend to defeat Hamas.”

Katz: IDF to remain in north West Bank refugee camps until year’s end at least-‘Today there is no terror in the camps,’ says defense minister; Israel nabs 3 suspects accused of planning major terror attack; Arab Israeli man said killed by troops in Jericho-By Emanuel Fabian,Charlie Summers and ToI Staff Today, 7:47 pm-AUG 10,25

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that IDF troops will remain deployed to northern West Bank refugee camps at least until the end of the year, committing to the continuation of Israeli military presence in the densely populated Palestinian towns for several more months.Meanwhile Israeli security forces said they had arrested three West Bank residents who had been planning a major terror attack in Israel, as well as attacks on security forces in the West Bank.In January, the military launched an offensive against terror operatives in the northern West Bank. The offensive, dubbed “Operation Iron Wall,” began in the Jenin refugee camp, adjacent to the city of Jenin, and later expanded to include refugee camps near the city of Tulkarem in the western West Bank — the Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps.The offensive followed a spike in West Bank violence, following October 7, 2023. Since the Hamas onslaught, troops have arrested some 6,000 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.According to Katz, the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Nur Shams camps were hotbeds of terror, funded, and armed by Iran, to act as another front against Israel.There are 20 historical refugee camps in the West Bank, all of which were established shortly after 1948, housing Palestinians who fled or were expelled during the War of Independence from homes located in what is now the State of Israel. Over the years, these camps have evolved into densely populated and enclosed neighborhoods.In the past eight months, Katz said, the IDF has carried out an “intensive” offensive, during which residents of the camps were evacuated, gunmen were killed, and infrastructure used by terror groups were destroyed.“The IDF will remain inside the camps at this stage, at least until the end of the year, under my directives,” Katz said in his statement.“Today, there is no terror in the camps, and the scope of terror alerts in Judea and Samaria [West Bank] has dropped by 80 percent,” he added.In May, the military reported that it had killed over 100 terror operatives and arrested around 320 wanted suspects, seizing approximately 450 weapons in the northern West Bank. The IDF has not updated its figures since then, but operations have continued.In the same month, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, said that approximately 40,000 people had been displaced from the camps by the IDF operations and relocated to nearby villages or the adjacent cities of Jenin or Tulkarem.In July, UNRWA said that mass displacement in the West Bank had hit levels not seen since the start of Israel’s military control of the Palestinian territory nearly 60 years ago, claiming that “about 30,000 Palestinians remain forcibly displaced.”During the same period, Israeli security forces issued demolition orders for about 1,400 homes in the northern West Bank, a UN spokesman said, describing the figures as “alarming.”Terror suspects arrested-Also on Sunday, police officers and Shin Bet agents nabbed three people, including a father and son, suspected of plotting attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces.The suspects — all currently in custody — planned to stage a bombing attack at a checkpoint in northern Jerusalem, assassinate someone they believed to be an Israeli Air Force pilot, and shoot up a nightclub in central Israel, police said.A senior police investigator told Ynet that the probe represents “one of the most serious cases we’ve handled in the unit,” saying the arrest of the three suspects prevented a mass casualty attack.The investigation was opened after the father, who resides with his son in Kufr Aqab in East Jerusalem, reached out to an undercover cop with an offer to sell him explosives meant for terror attacks.The father and son had been employed as cooks at a restaurant and a retirement home in central Israel, according to Ynet.The outlet reported that the father is an Arab Muslim who married and had a son with a Jewish Israeli woman. The two have since divorced. The detained son, Jewish by virtue of his mother, reportedly converted to Islam after he was disqualified from serving in the IDF for reasons that remain unclear.The pair was arrested by the Jerusalem District Police’s Investigations and Intelligence unit in late June. Officers seized bombmaking components, ammunition and ready-to-use pipe bombs when raiding apartments that the two had stayed in, police said.The third suspect, a resident of East Jerusalem in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of preparing explosives with the father and hiding them in his home. He also planned to attack security forces, officials allege.A prosecutor’s declaration was filed against the three, and they will be charged with security offenses in the coming days, law enforcement announced.In another development in the West Bank, an Arab Israeli man from Nazareth was shot dead by IDF troops in the city of Jericho on Saturday night, local Arab outlets reported on Sunday.Abdallah Atiyat, 24, had been visiting his aunt in Jericho over the weekend when he was shot in the head amid clashes during an army raid in the city’s downtown area, according to the Arab Israeli radio station Radio Shams.In an interview with the station, Atiyat’s mother, Amina, said that her son had been struggling to get back to Nazareth amid widespread closures due to the raid. He was reportedly killed while searching for a taxi to take him home.He was taken in critical condition to a hospital in Jericho, then shuttled to Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, where he succumbed to his wounds.Responding to a request for comment, the IDF told The Times of Israel that its forces had been operating in the Jericho region Saturday night, when Atiyat was killed.During the army operation, IDF forces “identified a suspect approaching them who posed a threat. The forces fired at the suspect, a hit was identified and the incident is under investigation,” said a spokesperson.Violence in the West Bank has spiked since the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza.According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 950 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were gunmen killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or terrorists carrying out attacks.During the same period, 53 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in clashes with terror operatives in the West Bank.

Judea and Samaria Terror Threat Plummets 80% Amid IDF’s Aggressive Campaign-Israeli Defense Minister reports dramatic 80% reduction in Judea and Samaria terror threats due to aggressive IDF campaign targeting Iranian-backed militant strongholds in refugee camps.Lara Sukster Mosheyof-AUG 10, 2025 10:23

Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday announced a dramatic decline in terror threats in the Judea and Samaria area, claiming an 80% drop thanks to a new IDF policy focused on decisive, sustained offensive operations.Katz pointed to refugee camps in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams as key centers of terrorism: “hotbeds financed, armed, and guided by Iran,” forming part of the so-called “Axis of Resistance” against Israel. These areas, he said, served as launchpads for attacks across the region.In response, Katz said the IDF adopted a “powerful offensive” approach: evacuating residents, eliminating terrorists, dismantling terror infrastructure, and maintaining a military presence in these zones at least through the end of 2025.“This is the right model to combat terror: strike it decisively and pursue it relentlessly across all fronts,” he emphasized.Since January, the IDF’s broad Operation Iron Wall in Jenin has targeted terror cells linked to Iran, working closely with the Shin Bet. The operation included neutralizing multiple terrorists and systematically undermining militant networks.In an unusual measure to curb violence, the IDF also announced last month that wearing face masks outdoors in the West Bank is now punishable by up to six months in prison. The regulation targets terrorists and extremists who use masks to conceal identities during attacks.Katz’s statements highlight a toughening stance by Israeli security forces aiming to restore order and suppress terrorism in a volatile region. The coming months will reveal whether this strategy maintains its momentum and significantly reshapes the security landscape in the Judea and Samaria area.

World Goes Crazy After Netanyahu's Cabinet Approves Gaza Occupation Plan-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s push to fully occupy Gaza has triggered global condemnation and fears of a humanitarian crisis, with Arab leaders, the UN, and hostage families warning of deadly consequences.Gila Isaacson-AUG 8, 2025 07:42

In the shadowed corridors of international diplomacy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bold declaration to seize full military control of Gaza has unleashed a torrent of condemnation, with world leaders warning of dire humanitarian fallout and the potential slaughter of remaining hostages. As Israel's cabinet approves a strategy to "defeat Hamas and occupy Gaza," the move, defying military advice and public sentiment, has drawn sharp rebukes from neighbors and allies alike, exposing the fragile fault lines of Middle East peace efforts.The plan, greenlit overnight despite opposition from IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, aims to disarm Hamas, retrieve all 50 hostages (at least 20 believed alive), demilitarize the Strip, and install an alternative civilian administration. Netanyahu's office insists it's not annexation but security necessity, with forces prepared to storm Gaza City while aiding civilians outside combat zones. Yet, this escalation, amid stalled talks and over 40,000 reported Palestinian deaths, has been met with alarm.Jordan led the charge, branding the proposal "unacceptable" and calling for urgent international intervention to halt it. A senior Jordanian official stressed that Arab nations would back only Palestinian-agreed solutions, insisting security be managed through "legitimate Palestinian institutions." The rebuke underscores Amman's role as a key mediator, hosting millions of Palestinian refugees and guarding holy sites in Jerusalem.Ready for more? The United Nations echoed the concern, deeming reports of expanded operations "deeply alarming" and highlighting severe humanitarian risks in a region already teetering on famine. UN officials fear mass displacement of Gaza's 1.2 million residents in central areas, with no viable evacuation zones.Palestinian authorities were unsparing, labeling the plan a "trial balloon" and demanding global action to thwart it. Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan accused the US and Western powers of "ignoring Israeli crimes," pinning blame on Netanyahu for endangering hostages through reckless escalation. "This will lead to their inevitable death," Hamdan warned, claiming captors have orders to "neutralize" them under siege.Egypt amplified the hostage peril in a stark alert to Washington, cautioning that occupation "will inevitably lead to the death of the Israeli hostages." President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi requested a direct call with US President Donald Trump to discuss, per a report in Hezbollah-linked Al-Akhbar. Cairo's diplomat asserted: "The captors have received instructions to 'neutralize' them if they enter a siege." This plea reflects Egypt's mediation role and fears of regional instability spilling over its borders.US President Trump has withheld explicit endorsement, with Netanyahu quoting him as saying, "I know Israel will do what it has to do." The White House offered no immediate comment, signaling a hands-off approach amid domestic pressures.Saudi Arabia condemns Israel’s decision to take over Gaza, accusing it of starvation crimes, brutality, and ethnic cleansing. Jordan issued a similar statement earlier, as reported y Open Source Intel.As protests erupt in Israel and families decry the move as a "death sentence" for captives, Netanyahu's gamble risks isolating Israel further. In a war of attrition, the true cost may be measured not in territory, but in lives lost and alliances fractured.But, to be fair, he has tried the route of releasing thousands of Hamas prisoners, acquiescing to many of their insane demands and sending his negotiating team to Doha for weeks on end, to no avail. In response to his generosity, he has been met with Hamas sending video footage of starving hostages Evyatar David and Rom Braslavksi to the point of death.What choice does he really have?

PM Netanyahu at a press conference for foreign media-Type:Government:The 37th Government-Publish Date:10.08.2025

“Good afternoon. I'm glad you came here, because I'd like to take the opportunity to puncture the lies and tell the truth.  The truth is, Hamas still has thousands of armed terrorists in Gaza. It vows to repeat the October 7 massacre and to do so again and again. It openly professes its goal to destroy the State of Israel. It subjugates Gazans, it steals their food, it shoots them when they try to move to safe zones. And I think it’s instructive that now, many Gazansare fighting back.They are begging us, and they're begging the world:“Free us, Free us, and free Gaza from Hamas”No nation can accept a genocidal terrorist organization, an organization committed to its annihilation a stone’s throw from its citizens.Our goal is not to occupy Gaza. Our goal is to free Gaza, free it from Hamas terrorists.The war can end tomorrow if Gaza, or rather if Hamas lays down its arms and releases all the remaining hostages.Gaza will be demilitarized, Israel will have overriding security responsibilities.A security zone will be established on Gaza’s border with Israel to prevent future terrorist incursions.A civilian administration will be established in Gaza that will seek to live in peace with Israel.That’s our plan for the day after Hamas. And let me summarize it: Five principles for concluding the war:One, Hamas Disarmed. Second, all hostages freed. Third, Gaze Demilitarized. Fourth, Israel has overriding security control. And five, Non-Israeli, peaceful civil administration, by that I mean a civilian administration that doesn’t educate its children for terror, that doesn't pay terrorists, and doesn’t launch terrorist attacks against Israel, that’s what we want to see in Gaza. So, its neither Hamas or the PA. That's our plan. Given Hamas’s refusal to lay down its arms, Israel has no choice but to finish the job andcomplete the defeat of Hamas.Now, we've done a great deal. We have about 70 to 75 percent of Gaza under Israeli control, military control. But we have two remaining strongholds. Okay? These are Gaza City and the Central Camps and Moasi. That's roughly, schematically, presented here, but it's fairly accurate.Last Thursday, Israel's cabinet, security cabinet, instructed the IDF to dismantle the two remaining Hamas strongholds in Gaza City and the Central Camps. Contrary to false claims, this is the best way to end the war, and the best way to end it speedily. We will do so by first enabling the civilian population to safely leave the combat areas to designated safe zones.In these safe zones they will be given ample food, water and medical care.As we have done before.And again, contrary to false claims, our policy throughout the war has been to prevent a humanitarian crisis, While Hamas’s policy has been to create it.Since the beginning of the war, Israel has let in close to 2 million tons of aid!I know of no other army that has enabled such aid to go to the civilian population in enemy territory.Now, if we had a starvation policy, no one in Gaza would have survived after two years of war.But our policy has been the exact opposite.We’ve let in, as I said, almost 2 million tons of aid and sent millions of text messages, millions of phone calls, to Gazans to get out of harm’s way.Yet in the last few months, Hamas has violently looted the aid trucks meant to get to Palestinian civilians. They deliberately created a shortage of supply.And the UN consistently refused, until recently, to distribute the thousands of trucks that we let into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing.So, the problem is, we've had tons of uncollected food rotting on the Gazan side of the border because the UN was, and still is, unwilling to deliver all of it.Here are the tons and tons, and tons, of humanitarian aid that Israel led in to the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, just sitting there, because it's not distributed.So now, we are going to go around this obstacle, we are going around it, by doing these three things:1. Designating safe corridors for humanitarian aid distribution – (that's showing the problem. Not showing the solution, but here it is).First, designating rather safe corridors for aid distribution. You can go, you can drive trucks there, and you'll be safe. 2. Increasing the number of safe distribution points managed by the Gazan Humanitarian Foundations.3. Air drops.  That's air drops done by the Israeli Air Force and we're inviting others to join us.The result has been a humanitarian surge, which we are coordinating with President Trump and his team, and hundreds of trucks have gone in, in recent days.This is preventing hunger.But it's not prevented the global campaign of lies that we have all witnessed.So in Gaza, despite Hamas’s obstacles, two million people are now getting access to humanitarian aid. But I'll tell you who isn't.The only ones that are being deliberately starved in Gaza are our hostages. This is Evyatar David, look at his hand and his arm. He's being deliberately starved by these Hamas monsters. And look at the Hamas capturer, look at the difference. He's eating, and he's eating well. The purpose of this news conference is to puncture the lies and spread the truth. But that distortion has been propelled around the earth, almost the way that the Jewish people, who are maligned in the Middle Ages, every massacre of the Jewish people was proceeded by massive vilification. We were spreading, we were said to be spreading vermin to Christian society, we were said to be poisoning the wells, we were said to slaughter Christian children for their blood. And as these lies spread around the globe, they were followed by horrific, horrific massacres, pogroms, displacements, finally culminating the worst massacre of them all – the Holocaust.Today the Jewish state is being maligned in a similar way. Everything that I told you, could be verified easily, but it hasn't. And the international press has bought hook line and sinker – Hamas's statistics, Hamas claims, Hamas forgeries, and Hamas photographs, for example, these three children. The first one, is Osama Alakub, he's in Italy getting treatment, because Israel got him out, that's what he looks like today. He has a genetic disease that damages the lungs and digestive system. It makes it hard to absorb nutrients and gain weight. Okay? So, Israel facilitated Osama's travel to Italy, where he got the medical aid that transformed his position. The second one, is Abdul Khad Faumi. He suffers from a genetic neurological disorder – spinal muscular atrophy. A degenerative condition that causes muscle wasting weakness and severe weight loss, unrelated to nutrition. This was the real cause of his frail appearance, not starvation. In fact, he was treated in Israel in 2018, doesn't help because it's a congenital disease and it defies most treatment at least. The third one, is the most celebrated one. This is a New York Times cover photo. It's on the front page, of Muhamad Zakaria Aub and his mother. Muhamad Zakaria Aub is suffering from genetic illness which you're familiar with, it's called cerebral palsy. His mother is well fed, and his brother is healthy. I'm looking right now into the possibility of a governmental suit against the New York Times, because this is outrageous. Of course, the correction was postage size, I don't know where it was buried. But this is outrageous.These are the three most celebrated photos, and they're all fake. It's the kind of malignant lies that were leveled at the Jewish people in the Middle Ages we won't suffer, we won't allow it to go unchallenged, and this is the purpose of this conference. I hope that you open your eyes to a simple fact - Hamas lies”.

Analysis-Germany’s arms embargo signals sharp downturn in relations with Israel-Chancellor Merz’s decision to restrict sales of offensive weapons to Israel appears to have caught Jerusalem off guard. Where things go from here may depend on Jerusalem’s response
By Tal Schneider-Today, 7:39 pm-AUG 10,25

Twenty-two months into the war in Gaza, Israel’s foreign relations appear to have deteriorated further, with German Chancellor Friedreich Merz’s recent announcement of an arms embargo threatening to put the entire Israeli defense industry in a challenging position.The German halt on selling Israel offensive weapons that could be used in Gaza comes as Israeli citizens, some with no connection to the Gaza war, have been facing threats in multiple countries.Israeli companies have suffered property damage and anti-Israel demonstrations take place daily around the world. Meanwhile, Israel’s international trade relations are under pressure.The defense industry remains the country’s strongest export sector, but now it too faces potential disruption. The announcement from Germany – which provides nearly a third of Israel’s arms imports – caught Jerusalem by surprise, as it was not preceded by an explicit warning from Berlin.Whether Netanyahu himself understood Germany’s level of frustration prior to the announcement of its decision is unclear. Critics argue that his office has struggled to handle the international arena as the war has dragged on, with his attention divided between foreign relations and maintaining his governing coalition.Defense trade is deeply affected by international politics and perceptions, and global press coverage of humanitarian conditions in Gaza plays a significant role. International leaders have strongly objected to Israel’s plans to evacuate 800,000 Gazans from Gaza City and conduct a major offensive there.The embargo by Germany, Israel’s close ally, could encourage other European capitals to halt arms sales, and possibly to stop buying Israeli-made weaponry.Merz’s announcement was part of a swift wave of international backlash after the Israeli cabinet’s vote last week to approve the Gaza City operation. In Germany, the speed and tone of the reaction marked a significant departure from the country’s prior policy of strong support for Israel, born of its sense of historical responsibility following the Holocaust. Up until now, Germany was Israel’s second-largest arms supplier, after the United States.The conservative Merz had himself previously been a prominent critic of his predecessor, Olaf Scholz, for what he said was insufficient backing for Israel.Unlike neighboring France, Germany does not face internal pressure from a large Muslim population to criticize Israel. The previous governing coalition included the Green Party, which held the foreign ministry and had pressed for stricter compliance with international law in arms exports. That coalition left office earlier this year.German arms deliveries to Israel dropped sharply in the war’s second year, with analysts saying the decline could be interpreted as a signal of German dissatisfaction — though Israeli officials did not previously treat it as such.When asked in late May about Spain and others halting arms sales to Israel, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said his country “is always obliged to assist Israel in guaranteeing its security.”But that same day, Merz told Germany’s WDR public radio, “Honestly speaking, I no longer understand what the Israeli army is now doing in the Gaza Strip, with what goal.”He added, “The way in which the civilian population has been affected, as has been increasingly the case in recent days, can no longer be justified by a fight against Hamas terrorism.”Now, Germany’s qualms have led to real, harmful action. On Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Merz to convey his disappointment. “Instead of supporting Israel’s just war against Hamas, which carried out the most horrific attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Germany is rewarding Hamas terrorism by embargoing arms to Israel,” his office said in a statement issued in English.Netanyahu also told Merz that Israel’s goal “is not to take over Gaza, but to free Gaza from Hamas and enable a peaceful government to be established there.”At the same time, the prime minister has refused to lay out a plan for enabling such a government to be formed.Some diplomats saw Netanyahu’s public comments to Merz as more of a moral admonition than a calculated effort to bridge differences. Despite the Holocaust’s role in shaping German policy toward Israel, a defense industry figure involved in procurement between the countries told The Times of Israel that Netanyahu’s invocation of the Holocaust in this context risked further complicating relations.“If Jerusalem starts invoking the Holocaust repeatedly and attacking the chancellor over this, it means Israel is not interested in solving the situation but only in isolating itself from the world,” one source told The Times of Israel.How big an embargo? According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which tracks global arms transfers, 69 percent of Israel’s arms imports in 2019-2023 came from the United States and 30% from Germany, largely due to multibillion-euro submarine and corvette procurement agreements for the Israeli navy.These purchases were intended to enable Israel to protect its gas rigs and maritime space. But they have also been politically sensitive in Israel due to the so-called submarine affair investigation, in which German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp’s $2 billion sale of the vessels to Israel came under scrutiny for alleged corruption and bribery.In the Gaza war’s first year, Germany approved $355 million in arms sales to Israel, of which about 6% was classified under German export law as “offensive,” or designed for use in combat outside the purchaser’s territory. That portion included munitions, bulletproof vehicles, armored trucks and anti-tank missiles. In the second year, total sales fell to $135 million, according to German government data published in local media.The implementation of Merz’s decision will depend on how German ministries interpret it. Committees in the defense, economy, foreign and possibly finance ministries review arms deals, determining whether items are for Israel’s defense or are offensive weapons for use in Gaza. While the distinction is clearer regarding munitions, it becomes murkier when it comes to delivering equipment for German ships Israel has already bought.The extent of the embargo could also change. The Bundestag could expand it via new legislation, but defense industry sources also say the decision’s discretionary scope suggests Israel could mitigate its impact through diplomacy. They note that Israel could open a two-month window for dialogue by emphasizing that the Gaza City plan is scheduled to start only in October.Such an effort, the sources say, would require Israel to treat the decision seriously and send senior envoys – such as Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar or President Isaac Herzog – to engage with Berlin directly.

Far-right pressure on PM grows as MKs threaten elections if no ‘decisive’ Gaza victory-Religious Zionism MK Zvi Sukkot says party will meet in coming days to decide on path forward, day after chair Bezalel Smotrich said he’s ‘lost faith’ in Netanyahu By Sam Sokol-and ToI Staff Today, 3:13 pm-AUG 10,25

Several far-right lawmakers threatened on Sunday to bolt Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, a day after Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he’d “lost faith” in the premier’s war strategy.Zvi Sukkot of Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party and Yitzhak Kroizer of Otzma Yehudit both said on Sunday that they were worried that the plan to conquer Gaza City, approved by the security cabinet last week, is a ploy to pressure Hamas back to the negotiating table, resulting in a partial ceasefire and hostage release deal rather than a “decisive” victory over the terror group.They were joined by Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman, who said that the cabinet’s decision had brought the nationalist party closer to leaving the government.Sukkot told Ynet that his party would meet in the coming days to decide on its path forward. The departure of any lawmaker from the coalition would leave Netanyahu with a minority in the Knesset.“If we return to October 6, 2023, and decide to abandon the war’s objectives, it is an existential danger to the State of Israel,” Sukkot posted on X on Sunday, referring to the day before the Hamas-led invasion of Israel that launched the war, when the terror group controlled Gaza. “If this is the situation, in my humble opinion, we need to go to elections.”Members of the two parties have consistently advocated for Israel to occupy and annex Gaza, for the Gazan population to be pressed to depart, and for Israeli settlements to be rebuilt in the enclave.Kroizer echoed Sukkot’s comments in a radio interview.“If we see that this plan isn’t…. where we’re going for a decisive victory over the terror groups in the Gaza Strip, and again we come to a round and a maneuver that ends in a partial deal, [leaving the government] is something we’ll definitely consider,” Kroizer said. “We might get to a point where we need to return the mandate to the citizens of the State of Israel” — meaning, new elections.Rothman sounded a similar note in an interview with the Knesset Channel.Asked why party leader Smotrich has not already quit if he had no faith in Netanyahu, Rothman replied that “it’s definitely on the table. It’s something that’s been said many times… that the moment we are convinced that they have dropped the goals of the war… we will no longer be a part of the government.”Last week’s cabinet meeting brought Religious Zionism very close to such an eventuality, Rothman added, although nothing is certain yet.“I suppose the coming hours and days will tell,” he said, demanding that the cabinet cancel its decision and “go all the way to the end to defeat Hamas.”Initially, Netanyahu faced heavy blowback over the Gaza City plan from the opposition, with lawmakers warning it would endanger Israeli hostages and soldiers and sink the army into a quagmire. The plan has also faced widespread opposition internationally from leaders who say Israel must not occupy Gaza, that the war must end, and the dire humanitarian conditions in the Strip must be addressed.But the threats from within his government indicate that his partners on the right are also skeptical that the push into Gaza City will serve their goals.On Saturday night, Smotrich posted a video on X saying that in light of the Gaza City plan, he has “lost faith that the prime minister is able and wants to lead the IDF to a decisive victory.”Smotrich said he had “worked intensively” with Netanyahu in recent weeks to formulate a new plan for “victory in Gaza,” which would consist of a combination of military and political actions intended to destroy Hamas’s military and civil capabilities and force it to free the hostages. But Smotrich said the premier “made a U-turn” and “succumbed to weakness, let emotion win over reason and decided to do more of the same again,” launching a military maneuver aimed not at complete victory, but only at pressuring Hamas to agree to a “partial hostage deal.”According to Kan news, Smotrich also threatened to bring down the government and force a new election during Thursday’s cabinet meeting.“We will meet in the coming days and make a decision as a faction,” Sukkot told Ynet regarding the threat to leave. He added that “this is a good government,” but said if the country returns to a pre-October 7 reality, “I won’t be able to sleep at night. We’ll need to go to elections.”Seizing on the internal turmoil, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid called on Smotrich on Sunday to help advance a bill to dissolve the Knesset and hold new elections.“In your own words, you admitted that the prime minister’s policy is not leading to a decisive outcome in Gaza, is not returning our hostages, and is not winning the war,” Lapid said in a statement. “You also added that you can no longer stand behind the prime minister and back him up.”The Knesset is currently in recess. In June, the opposition held a vote on dissolution of the parliament amid a fight over military enlistment between Netanyahu and his Haredi coalition partners, but that bill failed to advance, with Haredi leaders reportedly balking in part because they learned Israel was about to attack Iran’s nuclear program.Knesset rules dictate that the bill cannot come to the floor again for six months. But in July, Lapid announced that he had begun the process of collecting 61 signatures in order to submit a so-called “change of circumstances” letter to Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, requesting permission to hold a new vote on dissolving the Knesset.According to the Knesset bylaws, a defeated bill can be submitted again for reconsideration before six months have passed if circumstances have changed significantly. Such a change can be shown by collecting 61 lawmakers’ signatures, constituting a majority of the body. 

Thanks to you, we are not another Ron Arad family'Post-Oct 7, archaeologists’ CSI skills gave families closure. An exhibit reveals how-A new collection at the Israel Antiquities Authority campus in Jerusalem showcases the painstaking identification of victims and documentation of destruction sites-By Rossella Tercatin-Today, 8:25 am-AUG 10,25

When Assaf Peretz, an archaeologist and field photographer at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), entered the first house he had been assigned to examine at Kibbutz Be’eri about two weeks after the October 7, 2023, Hamas atrocities, his heart sank.“The children’s room looked exactly like the room of my eldest child,” Peretz said, describing the furniture and stuffed animals still neatly in place, despite the devastation. “At that point, one of my colleagues came to me and told me that I needed to make a mental switch, otherwise I would not be able to continue. I did, and from that moment, I worked as if I were out for an academic excavation.”Peretz was among dozens of archaeologists who, in the aftermath of the Hamas onslaught that killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel, combed through massacre sites to help identify victims’ remains. Even as these archaeologists performed their work, authorities were still struggling to determine who had been killed or kidnapped, and numerous people remained unaccounted for.Peretz spoke to The Times of Israel on the sidelines of the inauguration of “Rising from the Ashes: Archaeology in a National Crisis,” an exhibition at the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem.Spread across three rooms with multiple audiovisual installations, the exhibition highlights the work of experts both in the field and in laboratories — work that included taking millions of photographs and hours of footage to document the destruction. The final room focuses on IAA staff’s outreach to evacuees nationwide, offering lectures and workshops for both children and adults.“During my career as an archaeologist, I have excavated hundreds of graves and photographed thousands,” Peretz said. “In 2022, I excavated the largest cemetery from the Late Roman/Early Byzantine periods in the northern Negev [Desert]. Because of that expertise, after October 7, I got a call asking if I would come to the Gaza envelope.”Peretz recalled that at first he was hesitant, fearing the impact the experience would have on his mental health, but then he decided to join.“The next day, I was in Be’eri,” he said. “At first, it was pure shock — the stench of burned and rotting bodies seemed to assault me, to wrap around me. It felt like being punched in the face.”The expertise of Peretz and his colleagues proved crucial.“We’re trained to recognize bones, even the smallest fragments, no matter their state of preservation, amid ashes and debris,” he said. “That’s exactly what we did.”The first hall of the exhibition showcases stories of the 16 individuals identified through IAA findings.Speaking to The Times of Israel in November 2023, IAA archaeologist Joe Uziel — who also volunteered in Gaza envelope communities — said they had recovered remains belonging to 60 individuals; at the time, only about 10 had been identified.At the exhibition’s inauguration, Peretz noted that many of the remains — often charred or tiny bone fragments — could not be identified because no DNA could be extracted. Others, he added, belonged to Hamas terrorists killed in the fighting.In some cases, the archaeologists were able to recover personal belongings of the victims.“In one house — burned almost entirely to the ground — we found about 15 photographs in the safe room,” Peretz said. “There were 15 pictures from a family vacation. Outside, on the lawn, we discovered some drawings the grandchildren had made for their grandparents.”“How those pictures and drawings survived the fire, I have no idea,” he added. “But we returned them to the family. They told us it was all they had left of their parents and grandparents.”In at least one case, a victim was identified thanks to a burned object found at the site of the Supernova music festival, where Hamas terrorists killed over 360 partygoers.Weeks after October 7, the family of 25-year-old Shani Gabay still did not know of her fate. The family had last heard from Shani after terrorists wounded her as she was trying to flee. Shani’s remains had not been found, and her parents presumed she had been kidnapped.“Shani was considered missing for 47 days,” her mother, Michal Gabay, recalled at the exhibition’s inauguration. “For 47 days, we lived in uncertainty — was she kidnapped, was she killed?”“Our greatest fear was that she would become a new Ron Arad,” she added, invoking the Israeli Air Force navigator who bailed out over southern Lebanon in 1986 and whose fate remains unknown, though he is presumed dead.IAA deputy director Moshe Ajami spotted the moon-shaped necklace Shani had been wearing that day while examining the ruins of a destroyed ambulance. Around 20 people had taken shelter inside before Hamas terrorists fired a rocket-propelled grenade that obliterated the vehicle, killing 18.DNA tests on the necklace confirmed Shani’s identity, alongside that of another young woman whose remains had been buried weeks earlier. This led to a reexamination of the remains, and some were confirmed to be Shani’s.“Only a few of Shani’s remains were found — two teeth, a vertebra, and another bone,” Gabay said.“Thanks to Moshe, who found the necklace, we are not another Ron Arad family,” Gabay said. “We were able to close the circle and give her a dignified burial in our town, surrounded by all who loved her.”Speaking with The Times of Israel, Ajami recalled his initial fear of meeting Shani Gabay’s family.“At first, I was worried because what I found meant their child was dead — while they were likely still holding onto hope that she was alive,” he said. “But when we met, they thanked me for helping them to have closure.”When asked how he felt working at the Supernova site — after hundreds had searched without success — Ajami said emotions had no place.“We worked like machines,” he said.At the event, both Michal Gabay and her youngest daughter, Nitzan, Shani’s sister, wore replicas of Shani’s necklace.“Today, we all wear Shani’s moon-shaped necklace, which is also sold to raise funds for a charity we founded in her name,” Nitzan Gabay told The Times of Israel.She explained that the charity supports causes Shani cared deeply about, including animal welfare and environmental protection.“More than anything, Shani loved life, so every day we wake up thinking of what Shani would have wanted from us, and we set out to do it,” Nitzan said.Together with videos featuring stories and testimonies from victims’ family members and archaeologists, the exhibition also features the experts’ tools, including sifters and dental tools designed for searching narrow spaces, such as gunshot holes and other types of cracks.Documenting the destruction for posterity-As the archaeologists finished scanning the sites for victims’ remains or possessions, the IAA began another project to preserve the memory of October 7 for posterity.The experts documented each house, neighborhood, and community through pictures, footage, and other technological means, and created 3D models of the destruction sites in the IAA labs.“It is important to emphasize the purpose of this project,” said the exhibit’s project director, Leora Berry, as she led a group of reporters through a hall where visitors can see and interact with several such 3D models, and listen to the voices of experts as well as of October 7 survivors.“We are already seeing how the whole area is coming back to life, as it should be; it is being rehabilitated, and the destroyed areas will soon disappear under the new buildings,” she said. “This operation is vital — not only for research and investigation, but also as an essential testimony for those who doubt the horrors that unfolded in Israel on October 7.”
