Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already taken a victory lap after the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and said it could not have happened without the IDF’s thrashing of Hezbollah and Iran, as his forces took positions in a once-demilitarized part of the Golan Heights, which has been illegally occupied by Israel since 1967.
A photo popped up on the internet last week which was a bit surprising even for those of us who have been overly obsessed with the seemingly aimless and highly dangerous comedy routine that describes itself as the United States of America’s Foreign Policy.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is open to the idea of Israelis settling in Gaza after “encouraging” Palestinians to get out, Itamar Ben Gvir, the head of the Jewish Power party, said.
The Israeli military has continued its effort to advance in southern Lebanon, carried out dozens of airstrikes, and continued to carry out demolition operations, despite a supposed ceasefire resolution with Hezbollah that called for an end of the fighting for 60 days.
The Biden administration is close to approving another $680 million in new weapons for Israel even as Tel Aviv continues to carry out its genocide in Gaza and after its fragile ceasefire with Hezbollah.
Moshe Ya’alon, the former Israeli military chief, said in an interview Saturday that the Netanyahu government is leading the country down a path to destruction over its effort to occupy, annex, and ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip.
The death toll in Gaza reached 44,235 and 104,235 have been wounded since Israel started its genocidal war in October 2023. There are believed to be 11,000 missing.
The death toll in Lebanon from Israeli strikes reached 3,544. At least 15,036 people suffered injuries and the Israeli attacks have resulted in more than 1 million residents fleeing from their homes.
Just over a year since the IDF started its massive bombing campaign in northern Gaza, the Israeli military has resumed its operations in the region that have included some of Israel’s “most devastating attacks yet,” according to The New York Times.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be intent on clearing northern Gaza to take control of the region as it grows clearer that the IDF has no plans to allow these Palestinians to return to their homes.
