The Turkish Public Prosecution in Istanbul is preparing to file a criminal complaint against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the International Criminal Court, where it officially referred the complaint to the Foreign Relations and European Union Committee of the Turkish Ministry of Justice, Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

Earlier, the former representative of the Turkish Justice and Development Party, Metin Kulonek, and the lawyers Mujahid Berinci and Burak Bakiroglu submitted a criminal complaint to the Turkish Public Prosecution against Netanyahu for war crimes committed by the occupation forces in Gaza.

The petition, which demanded that the complaint be sent to the International Criminal Court, stated that Netanyahu, who is wanted to be tried, committed several crimes such as “(war crimes),” “genocide,” and “(crimes) against humanity” before the eyes of the whole world.

The petition stated, “Netanyahu is slaughtering all the residents of Gaza, including children, infants, women, and civilians, in order to transform the imaginary map of the Zionist structure into reality.”

It added, "The subject of our request and petition is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as he does not hesitate to use internationally prohibited weapons while committing the crimes he is accused of. The crimes he commits without fear and in an undeniable manner should not be tolerated by humanity."

The petition stated that Netanyahu and his team should be tried before the ICC within the framework of international criminal standards, “which is necessary for humanity’s trust in the law, and so that a perception of impunity does not arise. Otherwise, remaining silent in the face of all these events will harm humanity’s faith in the law and the ICC.” "It will cast a shadow over the integrity of the court."

The petition, which also included pictures of children martyred and injured in Gaza as a result of Israeli attacks, called for a lawsuit to be filed against Netanyahu and other perpetrators to determine their identities.

Since the first days of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Turkish citizens have filed many criminal complaints against Netanyahu and Israeli officials, and these petitions were sent to the Ministry of Justice to take the necessary measures, according to Anadolu.

For the 40th day, the Israeli occupation army is waging a devastating war on Gaza, leaving 11,320 Palestinian martyrs, including 4,650 children and 3,145 women, in addition to 29,200 injured, 70% of whom are children and women, according to official Palestinian sources.

Amos Harel, a military analyst in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, claimed on Wednesday that the Hamas movement has lost the strongholds of power in Gaza, but at the same time he pointed out that the Israeli occupation army has not yet taken control of the Strip, despite the destructive force it is using.

While he said that the army completed the occupation of the Beach refugee camp located west of Gaza City yesterday, he pointed out that battles and clashes sometimes broke out as the occupation forces searched for resistance fighters and weapons.

The writer also pointed out the Israeli army’s control over a number of symbols of Hamas’ rule in Gaza City, including the Legislative Council building, the “security square,” and others, questioning the possibility of Hamas regaining its civilian control in the northern Gaza Strip in the near future.

The newspaper quoted the commander of the 162nd Division in the occupation army, Itzik Cohen, as saying that the army created “conditions that allow the dismantling of the military and authoritarian capabilities of Hamas in Gaza City.” Cohen and other officers in the occupation army present in the northern Gaza Strip believe that "the war is progressing as planned."

The newspaper also added that the army "is working methodically in the vicinity of hospitals in Gaza under the guidance of Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy," after Hamas allegedly used the hospitals and the areas underneath them as headquarters and hiding places for its members.

The military analyst pointed out that the arrival of winter increases the difficulties and risks facing the Israeli occupation soldiers in the Gaza Strip, "but it is not the only source of danger."

He added that after about two and a half weeks of ground forces being in the Gaza Strip, “there is a risk that the forces will enter a state of stagnation (almost completely stop advancing) and thus become more vulnerable. Sometimes a prolonged stay also compromises operational aspects.” "This exposes the forces to harm."

According to the newspaper, the occupation army officers fear several potential threats, most notably the exposure of soldiers to anti-armor missiles and the bombing of homes, adding that within the dense areas in the center of Gaza City there is also a need to take shelter from shooting operations from inside multi-storey buildings.

Fears come from the possibility of Hamas establishing new sites in buildings damaged by Israeli air strikes, enabling it to snipe Israeli soldiers and fire anti-armor missiles at them.

The military analyst stated that from an operational standpoint, the Israeli army has not yet worked in the eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City nor in the neighborhoods located in its center, and that it continues to focus its efforts on the tunnels in an attempt to develop practical solutions to destroy them quickly.

In recent days, Israeli Security Minister Yoav Galant indicated his optimism about the occupation army's capabilities to accelerate the attack on tunnels and the pace of Hamas's loss of control over the northern Gaza Strip, according to his claims.

The Israeli writer says, “The Hamas movement no longer has political and civil control over this region. As for military capabilities, it is clear that the two brigades run by the organization in the northern Gaza Strip and in Gaza City have been severely damaged, and the chain of command in them is only partially functioning. As for the brigades, The other three are in refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip, in Khan Yunis and Rafah. They sustained only minor damage, and they still maintain continuous command and control.”

The newspaper "Haaretz" quoted an unnamed officer, whom it described as senior, that the resistance fighters in the northern Gaza Strip in general "are now active in relatively small groups of up to ten people, and that they are reducing the fighting during the night hours. In the early morning hours, after dawn prayers, they launch a march to examine what has changed." "In the Israeli army's preparations around them and they are trying to launch attacks."

The newspaper also indicated that the firing of rockets from the northern Gaza Strip towards Israel has almost completely stopped.

In this context, it is noteworthy that one of the missile attacks yesterday caused the injury of three people in the Tel Aviv area, and the wounds of one of them were described as serious.

The Hebrew newspaper stated that the extent of the destruction in the Gaza Strip is not fully reflected in what is broadcast on Israeli television channels.

Despite the massive destruction, the obliteration of entire areas, and the death of more than 10,000 Palestinians, Israeli occupation army officers insist, according to the newspaper, that the army “did not come to level Gaza to the ground, but rather to subjugate Hamas.”

Since the occupation forces entered the Strip, the newspaper says, “heavy fire has been used to protect it, even at the expense of harming Palestinian civilians who may be present nearby.”

The dismissed British Home Secretary, Soella Braverman, launched a violent attack on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Tuesday, accusing him of "betraying the people."

This came after Braverman remained silent last Monday following her dismissal, but she returned and wrote a letter to Sunak yesterday, Tuesday, through her account on the “X” platform, directing him with severe criticism and claiming that she had been “successful” throughout her tenure as Ministry of the Interior.

Criticism of immigration policy

Braverman accused the Prime Minister of "clearly and repeatedly failing to deliver on all his core policies" on reducing irregular migration, and of betraying a promise to do "whatever it takes" to stop illegal immigration boats, on the eve of a Supreme Court ruling on whether the government can go ahead with its plan. To deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.

The former minister, known for her hostility to immigrants, said that Sunak also did not fulfill a series of promises he made to her to work under him as Prime Minister.

Conservative defeats

Braverman also added in her letter: “One must be honest. Your program is ineffective. We have suffered unprecedented electoral losses, and your plans for reform have failed. Time is running out. You urgently need to change course,” referring to the Conservatives’ defeats in local votes under his leadership. .

The position of the dismissed minister may represent the beginning of a campaign to oust Rishi Sunak if the Conservative Party loses, as opinion polls predict, in the elections scheduled for next year.

Braverman is the Conservative MP for Fareham County, and took office from September 2022.

Demonstrations in support of Palestine

Braverman also criticized Sunak's handling of the protests in support of Palestine, saying that she had taken pains to present arguments for banning them, while his response was characterized by "ambiguity, weakness, and lack of leadership qualities that the United Kingdom needs," for his failure to prevent last week's march in support of Palestine in the capital, London.

Braverman previously described the solidarity marches with Palestine, which have been held every week in London since last October 14, as “hate marches,” she said.

The sacked minister also accused the London police, which allow marches in support of Palestine, of "being biased and applying double standards" when it comes to demonstrations in support of Palestine.

Sunak fired Braverman on Monday, after she published an unauthorized newspaper article accusing the police of double standards in pro-Palestinian protests.

Sunak responded

In turn, a spokesman for Sunak's office responded to Braverman's statements by saying: "The Prime Minister believes in actions, not words."

Yesterday, Tuesday, the British Prime Minister appointed Foreign Secretary James Cleverly as Home Secretary, succeeding sacked Minister Suella Braverman.

The Kingdom of Belize, one of the countries in the Caribbean region, announced the severing of its diplomatic relations with Israel due to its ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip, while Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro issued a call to the world to take action to stop the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Palestinian Strip.

The Belize government reported that it made its decision to sever relations with Israel because the latter did not accept calls for a ceasefire and prevented the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

It added, "Despite our demands, Israel did not put an end to its international human rights violations, and at the same time did not allow relief teams to enter to alleviate the suffering of the people of Gaza. For this reason, we decided to implement a series of measures."

Other countries in South America and the Caribbean had previously taken escalatory steps against Israel after its aggression against Gaza, which claimed the lives of more than 11 martyrs within 5 weeks, as Bolivia announced the severing of diplomatic relations with Israel, while Colombia, Chile, and Honduras each recalled their ambassadors to Tel Aviv for consultations.

"We must win"

For his part, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro appealed to the world to take action to stop the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

In a televised interview, Maduro confirmed his country’s support for the joint statement issued by the emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, a few days ago.

The Venezuelan president said, "My call to the entire world is: Continue to remain in the streets, and we must win this war for the right to life, the right to land, independence, and for a Palestinian state, and there are more people who love us and the Palestinian people."

An expert in international law confirmed that the practices carried out by Israel in the Gaza Strip amount, in terms of international law, to the level of "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide."

International law expert and lawyer accredited to the International Criminal Court, Gilles Dever, said in a statement to Al Jazeera that Israel is carrying out a “systematic attack against a defenseless people,” and that what more than two million people in the Gaza Strip are facing amounts to “genocide.”

Deaver believed that the forced displacement of the Gaza Strip's civilian population and direct attacks targeting hospitals, civilian and even military targets are "unacceptable practices from the point of view of international law that violate the laws of war."

Regarding how to protect civilians in Gaza, Deaver believed that international law is not as strong as required in wars, but there is a need to take action before the International Criminal Court, at the initiative of the countries that signed the agreement of this court.

He said that the ball is now in the court of the countries affiliated with the International Criminal Court to launch a lawsuit against Israel, stressing that the Public Prosecutor has the powers to conduct the investigation.

He noted that what the Israeli occupation army is doing is “not self-defense at all,” stressing that the occupying state has responsibilities that it must respect, respect the needs of the population, and preserve the infrastructure and not target it.

Regarding documenting crimes for later judicial follow-up, he pointed out that there are specialized teams that monitor the situation on the ground, and they are responsible for examining the damaged infrastructure and raising indicators and evidence that confirm the involvement of the party that committed the crime, such as bombing.

In the same context, he stressed that there is very convincing data confirming Israel's involvement in the bombing of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for Israel to stop “killing babies,” earning a furious response from Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trudeau said on Tuesday that the “killing of women, of children, of babies” in the besieged Gaza Strip must end. Netanyahu pushed back, insisting that Hamas is responsible for civilian deaths as Israeli forces continue to batter the enclave.

“I urge the government of Israel to exercise maximum restraint,” Trudeau said in his sharpest criticism of Israel since the war on Gaza broke out more than five weeks ago. “The world is watching, on TV, on social media – we’re hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, kids who have lost their parents. “The world is witnessing this killing of women, of children, of babies. This has to stop,” he told a news conference in the western province of British Columbia.

In a post on X directed at Trudeau, early on Wednesday, Netanyahu said: “It is not Israel that is deliberately targeting civilians but Hamas that beheaded, burned and massacred civilians in the worst horrors perpetrated on Jews since the Holocaust.” “The forces of civilization must back Israel in defeating Hamas barbarism,” Netanyahu continued.

The first fuel truck entered the Gaza Strip today directly through the Rafah land crossing belonging to UNRWA.

This is the first time fuel has entered Gaza since the beginning of the war. Egyptian sources said that after the UNRWA stopped working yesterday due to the depletion of fuel, 25,000 liters of diesel were brought to the UNRWA this morning through the Rafah land crossing.

Last night, Israel agreed to bring fuel into the Gaza Strip for United Nations Refugee Agency (UNRWA) trucks, for the first time since the beginning of the war.

If authoritarian regimes do not care about the humanitarianism and universalism that form the basis of international law, then Western democracies also contribute to discrediting it.

From US President Joe Biden to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, through French President Emmanuel Macron, double standards emerge from the inconsistency of Western discourse, especially with regard to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a duality that contributes to undermining the credibility of these countries’ moral position and weakening their international weight.

With this introduction, Lopes magazine summarized an article by public law professor Baligh Nabli in which he said that in the absence of a “world government” there is international law that gives substance to a form of global consciousness, and there are principles and rules that must be respected even in times of war, and the clear violation of these primary considerations places responsibility on The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel and political and military individuals are perpetrators of international crimes. The author presents Hamas’ attack on Israel as a series of acts that may constitute war crimes.

But he also believes that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has surrendered to a spirit of revenge that deviates from the basic rules of international humanitarian law, which means that the Israeli military response exceeded the specific framework of the right to “self-defense,” and even exceeded all limits by committing a comprehensive siege that deprives civilians of Services and goods essential for survival, the massive, disproportionate and indiscriminate bombing, the destruction of civilian and health buildings, the “forced transfer” of approximately 1.5 million civilians and the targeting and killing of dozens of journalists, all of these cases constitute international war crimes.

If we accept the condemnation of the Hamas attack - the writer says - then we must also realize that the unconditional support for Israel and the absence of condemnation of the war crimes it commits contradict the Western adherence to respect for international law and the universality of human rights, and this is the basis of the position of the United States and the Europeans in their categorical condemnation of Russian crimes against Ukraine. And its inhabitants, but double standards are applied to countries and people by exempting Westerners from international law as if “human lives are not equal,” as he put it.

Bloomberg revealed today, Wednesday, November 15, 2023, that the United States has secretly increased its military aid to Israel, extending beyond the Iron Dome interceptor system missiles.

According to a US Department of Defense (Pentagon) document seen by Bloomberg, it indicated that Washington provided Israel with laser-guided missiles for the fleet of Apache helicopters, 155 mm artillery shells, night vision devices, anti-fortified ammunition, and new military vehicles.

Withdrawal from stocks

Bloomberg said that it had seen an internal Pentagon list of this equipment, and that it showed that US military aid extends beyond what the United States announced to provide aid for the Iron Dome system and smart bombs manufactured by Boeing.

It noted that this aid continued to flow to Israel, even as US administration officials increased warnings to Israel about avoiding civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.

The agency said that the weapons provided by the United States to Israel were contained in a document entitled “Requests from a Senior Israeli Leader,” dating back to last October, and being circulated in Pentagon papers.

According to the document, these weapons have already been shipped, as the Ministry of Defense is working to provide them from stocks in the United States and Europe, which speeds up their delivery to Israel, compared to new contracts.

As the fifth week of the aggression draws to a close, the government of Benjamin Netanyahu finds itself in a minefield whose features have been defined and led by the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle, which revealed the largest intelligence, security, political and operational failure facing Israel.

Israel went to war against Gaza amid a state of political polarization and societal rift, deepened by the government's plan to make amendments to the judicial system.

While Netanyahu - who refused to bear personal responsibility for the failure on October 7th - chose to form a national emergency government to frame an image of “national unity,” while intensifying bombing and raids, amid material and human losses incurred by Israel, which are kept secret under military censorship.

What is going on in the corridors of the war government in Israel?

Aside from the military censor’s scissors, many shots of the leaders of the emergency government and the “war cabinet” showed the scenes of the disputes between Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and the head of the “National Camp,” Benny Gantz, regarding personal responsibility for failure and failure, harmony with the American administration, and obtaining international support. For the war, support that seemed to be eroding amid disagreements and signs of a clash between Netanyahu and the administration of President Joe Biden.

Even during the battles and the ground incursion, Netanyahu did not hesitate to criticize the military leadership and hold it responsible for the failures. This proposal was met with a firm and defensive response from Gantz and Gallant, which indicates that the emergency government is not unified, and reflects the state of uncertainty and differing positions regarding the conduct of the war and the development of the ground battles in The file of Israeli detainees remained with Hamas.

Political analyst Akiva Eldar believes that Israel entered the ground battle in Gaza reluctantly, as the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle forced it to fight a battle that it had always intended to deport during previous combat rounds, due to the doubts that aroused the political level regarding the impossibility of resolving the battle, and these are the same doubts that raised the level Military Council regarding the security and military future of Gaza, if the scenario of dismantling Hamas’ military capacity succeeds.

Eldar believes that the political differences in Israel will surface clearly as soon as the war ends, which Netanyahu seeks to prolong and keep burning on a low flame, in order to ensure his stay in the prime minister’s chair. He is also prepared to clash with President Biden’s administration if the United States intensifies its pressure. On Israel to end the war.

Is Western support about to stop?

Analysts agree that the hour of Western and even American support is about to end, in light of the popular movement around the world denouncing the Israeli war on Gaza and supporting the Palestinian people.

The former Israeli consul in New York, Alon Pinkas, explained in an article in the Haaretz newspaper that the Biden administration is putting pressure on Netanyahu to cease fire, and this ceiling may rise to the point of demanding an end to the war, which may push the Israeli prime minister into a clash with Washington. Not in order to achieve war goals, but for the sake of his personal political interests.

The US administration continues to provide Israel with political support to enable it to continue the fight against Hamas. Gildad Shavit, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Research at Tel Aviv University, says, “Nevertheless, Israel must avoid taking American patience for granted, and must take into account that at a certain time, and perhaps soon, the American political clock and the Israeli military clock will not be in sync.” 

Shavit explained that the right-wing government headed by Netanyahu lacks legitimacy, especially in a state of emergency and war, as it is a failure and unable to carry out its tasks and serve civilians, but despite that, it will continue to struggle to survive and challenge the opposition parties, whose strength is growing during the war and have become candidates to win and form the next government if elections are held. early.

Al Jazeera Net's political analyst pointed out that there are signs of opposition to Netanyahu even within the Likud Party, which is not unlikely to rebel against its leader and overthrow him, especially with the rise of voices opposing the government that has failed to meet the needs of citizens, and is betting on the issue of Israeli detainees for narrow political interests, noting that 66% of the Israeli public supports going to early elections immediately after the end of the war.

What is the future of ground war from the Israeli point of view?

The doubts that Israel had during combat rounds over a decade and more about the difficulty of resolving the ground battle in Gaza are revealed on the ground, in light of the fierce battles that the Palestinian resistance is waging with the Israeli army forces in the northern Gaza Strip.

Amos Harel, a military analyst in Haaretz newspaper, said, “It is true that Israel is still far from subjugating Hamas, and it seems that the movement’s leader, Yahya Sinwar, is underground in the tunnel network in a safe place, and he does not intend to order his men to stop the fighting.”

Accordingly, the military analyst believes that there are still three main problems for Israel related to the ground incursion battle:

Military superiority does not translate into the surrender of Hamas, which is fighting fiercely.

The Israeli army is also almost inactive in the southern Gaza Strip, where civilians have been displaced, and it will have to account for their presence later, especially since the humanitarian situation there is getting worse and is expected to become more complex with the coming of winter.

This war also opened with Hamas' significant superiority in the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operations.

How does the Israeli government deal with the issue of detainees?

Israeli analyzes agree that Netanyahu is maneuvering and evading negotiations with Israeli detainees, given that he is not willing to pay the price of a prisoner exchange deal, for fear of compromising his political future, and thus he is still promoting his going to war in order to liberate the detainees.

This proposal was expressed by Nahum Barnea, a political analyst in Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, who explained that the negotiations to liberate the detainees and the exchange deal are progressing slowly, despite the widening popular demand in Israel calling for reaching a deal, even if the price is high.

Barnea believes that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is the one who controls and directs the negotiations, and also controls the propaganda and narrative in this file, as he wants to release the Israeli detainees in stages, in order to ensure longer periods of ceasefire, and to release more Palestinian prisoners in groups and in a gradual manner.

What do the features of the end of the war look like?

Whatever the results of the war, which will end sooner or later, due to the decline and erosion of support even from Washington, Amir Oren, a strategic and security affairs analyst at the Walla website, says, “Even if an Israeli achievement is recorded in the war, it will not be enough to cover up the failure to warn and prevent The surprise attack launched by the Al-Qassam Brigades on the “Gaza envelope” and the south on October 7th.

Oren also believes that the results of the war on Gaza will not cover the defeat of the Israeli government and its president, Netanyahu, in the battle of “Al-Aqsa Flood,” while on the other hand, he believes that “even if Hamas leader Sinwar did not live to see the end of the war, he succeeded in defeating the Israeli government, and made Netanyahu reduce Israel, whose population has been emptied from the Western Negev and Northern Galilee, is the largest internal displacement it has witnessed since the 1948 war.

Oren believes that the Netanyahu government cannot talk about any achievement or victory, and it bears responsibility for failure, and then it may disintegrate after the end of the war, because the political leader is responsible for studying the security situation in depth, or at the very least “preserving the strength and greatness” of Israel, This is exactly what Netanyahu did not do since his government was sworn in until last October 7.

Today, Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces launched a massive arrest campaign targeting 52 citizens from the West Bank and Jerusalem, including 15 female university students.

The head of the "For You Jerusalem" organization, which works in cooperation with the extremist "If You Want" movement, called for the closure of private schools in East Jerusalem, claiming that they "preach terrorism."

The website claimed: “Records indicate that since the beginning of 2023, six operations have been carried out by students in schools in the eastern part of the city, all of them minors. Some of the operations led to the killing of Israelis.”

Last week, a stabbing attack led to the killing of Soldier Rose Lubin (20 years old), at the hands of a 16-year-old student from the town of Al-Issawiya. The site claims that a student at Al-Rashidiya School participated in the attack.

The website claims that there are ten schools in East Jerusalem that work on "incitement and terrorism."

Last Sunday, an Israeli military court issued a 12-year prison sentence and a fine against a Jerusalemite girl who has been detained since 2021, for allegedly carrying out a stabbing attack.

Last year, former Minister of Education Yifat Shasha-Biton requested the cancellation of the license of four schools affiliated with Al-Iman Schools, which are: primary for boys, primary for girls, upper primary for boys, and basic education for girls, located in Beit Hanina Shuafat. And the Abrahamic College. Under the pretext that schools support “incitement and terrorism.”

The Russian Strategic Center for Cultures website published a report by writer Yuri Borisov in which he says that Israel’s disregard for international law, the laws of war and its customs, and its targeting of the entire world are factors that threaten the continued existence of Israel, even if it possesses nuclear weapons.

The report added that the world whom Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to take with him 15 years ago possesses many of these weapons, and the fruits of the position of the rulers of Israel towards all of humanity have become clearly visible, and this is particularly evident in the recent vote in the UN General Assembly, during which Israel and the United States were left alone..

According to the writer, the statement issued by a person who ignores international law includes a direct acknowledgment of the fact that Israel is not at war with any “terrorists,” but rather with all residents of the neighboring Arab lands, whether Palestine or Lebanon. It is committing and intends to continue committing acts described as Genocide.

Crimes equivalent to those of the Nuremberg criminals

Borisov stressed that these crimes are equivalent to the international crimes that were the subject of consideration in the Nuremberg trials of major Nazi war criminals between 1945 and 1946.

The writer reported that what Israel committed in Gaza, killing and wounding at least 40,000 people, and destroying at least half of the city’s buildings, in full view of the entire world today, is threatening to commit it today in Beirut. In fact, 70% of Israel's residents oppose the reckless policy of their leaders, and see it as a danger to them.

Borisov pointed out that on November 11, the leaders responsible for managing the Israeli war in Gaza pledged to continue the military attack aimed at defeating the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and to resist international pressure to slow or stop it, and pledged to “stand firmly against the world if necessary.” 

The writer said that Netanyahu had vowed in 2009 to take the whole world with him, and is currently threatening to "firmly confront the world" and destroy anyone who opposes him, and is currently calling on the world to join the bloody Israeli orgy in the Gaza Strip.

Medvedev threatened Netanyahu in 2009

The writer drew attention to the fact that in 2009, disturbing rumors spread about an exciting meeting between then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Netanyahu, during which it later became clear that Medvedev confirmed that Russia would not allow Israel’s planned nuclear bombing of Iran, and that if Netanyahu carried out his threat, Russia would respond, In its own way.

The writer reported that, in a joint press conference, Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Galant, and Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz rejected the increasing international criticism regarding the civilian losses of the Gaza war, and called on Western leaders to support Israel, because its victory means a victory for the free people of the entire world.

Gallant threatened Lebanon

Borissov said that Yoav Galant adopts Netanyahu's position, threatening Lebanon, saying, "I say to the Lebanese citizens: I already see the citizens of Gaza walking with white flags along the coast and heading south. Hezbollah is dragging Lebanon into a possible war and is making a mistake. If Hezbollah makes a mistake like this, all Lebanese citizens will pay the price for this. What we do in Gaza, we can do in Beirut."

The Minister of Defense confirmed that less than 10% of the Israeli Air Force’s capabilities are currently participating in the operation in the Gaza Strip, adding: “Our pilots are sitting in the cockpits, and the noses of the planes are directed towards the north. We have enough to do everything that needs to be accomplished in the southern direction, but the Air Force "It is moving towards the north, and its strength is very large."

At the conclusion of the report, the writer pointed out that the mass sacrifice of children at the request of the Israeli King Herod at one time, became a sad milestone in the history of Israel.

Occupation aircraft violently bombed the western areas of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, and dropped phosphorus bombs on the place, which led to a power outage in parts of the hospital due to damage to the solar energy cells and a lack of fuel.

The Israeli occupation army announced, at dawn today, Wednesday, that it had stormed the Shifa Medical Complex in the besieged Gaza Strip, in a “military operation against the Hamas movement, in a specific area” inside the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip. While the Hamas movement held US President Joe Biden and his administration “fully responsible” for the repercussions of the storm.

The Israeli army spokesman claimed in English, in statements to CNN, that “military operations in the Shifa complex” target Hamas, indicating the possibility of “finding a number of hostages,” as he claimed, while the Palestinian Ministry of Health warned of a massacre. , amidst hearing gunfire and artillery shelling inside the Al-Shifa Complex, where 9,000 patients, displaced people, and medical staff are present.

Less than an hour before that, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, said that Israel had informed officials in the Strip that it would storm the Al-Shifa Hospital complex “within minutes.”

He added, "The occupation said that within minutes the Shifa Medical Complex will be stormed, but we do not know how to storm it, and the mechanism and intentions of the storming." While an Israeli spokesman, in a recorded call with the director of Al-Shifa Hospital, asked everyone present to stay away from windows and doors.

Five weeks after Israel began its war on the Gaza Strip, the fate of Al-Shifa Hospital has become a matter of international concern due to the deteriorating conditions there, while calls for a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons are mounting, in light of the plight of civilians in Gaza.

The death toll from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip rose to more than 11,500 dead, while the wounded to more than 29,000, at a time when the occupation raids continue on populated areas throughout the Strip, while the Israeli army forces continue to target hospitals and medical centers in Gaza, besiege them, and prevent relief. And medical equipment from hospitals that are out of service.

Al-Quds learned that US President Joe Biden gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the green light, yesterday, Tuesday, to storm Al-Shifa Hospital after Netanyahu gave Biden a presentation about the necessity and importance of this mission for the Israeli operation.

An informed source, who requested to remain anonymous, told Al-Quds.com’s correspondent in Washington, “President Biden was deeply concerned about the deteriorating conditions in Gaza’s hospitals, and most of them being out of service due to running out of fuel and the scarcity of initial needs to provide any treatment, no matter how simple.” "Especially for infants and premature infants."

The US President also warned Netanyahu of “the impact of the tragedy of the collapse of health care in Gaza on the reputation of Israel and the reputation of the United States (which has so far provided it with open support), among American and international public opinion, and even among officials in the (US) administration, but Netanyahu acknowledged the embarrassment of the situation and the impact of the tragedy on global public opinion, and stressed to Biden the importance of storming the hospital as part of the Israeli plan to achieve its goals of eliminating the Hamas movement and freeing the hostages, according to the source.

It is noteworthy that the official spokesman for the US State Department, Matthew Miller, insisted in his answers to the Al-Quds correspondent’s questions that the United States strongly believes that the Hamas movement is using Al-Shifa Hospital and other hospitals “as places of command, management and control, and that Hamas must withdraw from these hospitals.” ".

On Tuesday/Wednesday night, the Israeli occupation army announced the start of a military operation in a “certain part” of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, west of Gaza City.

The occupation army's announcement comes after the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the army officially informed the administration of the medical complex that it would storm it tonight.

A spokesman for the occupation army said in a statement on the “X” platform: “At this hour, the IDF forces are working against the Hamas organization in a specific part of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex, as this operation is based on intelligence information and an operational need,” without further details.

The spokesman claimed, "The operation was preceded by efforts to evacuate the hospital of patients and displaced people, which also included opening a special transportation corridor from inside it."

It is noteworthy that what was attributed to the content of the conversation between Biden and Netanyahu contradicts what the White House said, on Wednesday, that it does not support bombing hospitals from the air and does not want to see an exchange of fire there after the Israeli army said that it was carrying out an operation against Hamas in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

A spokesman for the White House National Security Council, who requested anonymity, told Reuters: “We do not support striking a hospital from the air, and we do not want to see a gun battle in a hospital, with innocent people, helpless people, and sick people trying to get the medical care they deserve caught in the crossfire.” He continued, "Hospitals and patients must be protected."

The Hamas movement said in a statement on Wednesday that it holds Israel, US President Joe Biden, and his administration fully responsible for the repercussions of the occupation army’s storming of the Shifa Medical Complex.

It stated that what the United States said on Tuesday, that intelligence information supported the conclusion reached by Israel that the movement was carrying out operations in Al-Shifa Hospital, was the green light for the storming.

It said, "The White House and the Pentagon's adoption of the occupation's false narrative, alleging that the resistance is using the Shifa Medical Complex for military purposes, was a green light for the occupation to commit more massacres against civilians."

According to the source, the US President told Netanyahu that “the United States cannot agree to an open Israeli operation in Gaza, and therefore Israel must complete its tasks within two weeks or so.”

The Israeli army announced, at dawn on Tuesday, that two officers were killed and 4 others were seriously injured during the battles taking place in the Gaza Strip yesterday, Tuesday, bringing the death toll to 49 since the start of the ground operation on October 27 last year.

He added: "Notifications were delivered to their families. In addition, four fighters were seriously injured during the fighting in the Strip. They were evacuated to receive medical treatment, and notices were delivered to their families."

The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip continues for the 40th day, and while the director of the Shifa Medical Complex announced that they had begun digging graves for the martyrs in the hospital, the occupation army stormed the medical complex, claiming to launch an operation against the Hamas movement there.

The Director General of Gaza Hospitals tells Al Jazeera what is happening at the Shifa Complex:

-The occupation forces stormed the surgical and emergency buildings in the Al-Shifa Complex.

-The occupation army entered the emergency department of the Shifa Complex, and is now searching the hospital basement.

-Not a single bullet was fired from inside the hospital during the occupation forces storming the complex.

The occupation opened fire on those who left the corridor that they claimed was safe to exit the Shifa complex.

The occupation army believed that its soldiers entering the Shifa Complex would be a victory for it, but it did not find any evidence of the existence of resistance.

-We informed the Red Cross representative that the occupation army stormed the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

-We have been communicating with the Egyptian side for 5 days and asked them to coordinate the entry of premature babies into Egypt, but we have not received any response from them.

Israeli military analyst Amos Harel said that the "surrender" of Hamas in the face of the ongoing ground invasion of the Gaza Strip is not imminent at all.

In an article published by Haaretz newspaper - today, Tuesday - Harel referred to intense battles in Gaza and deaths among the ranks of the Israeli army.

He also said that Israel is still far from defeating Hamas, adding that the leader of this movement inside the country, Yahya Sinwar, has no intention of issuing orders to his men to stop the fighting.

Despite his acknowledgment that the Israeli army is suffering losses and that Hamas' "surrender" is not imminent, the Israeli military analyst considered that the force used by the army by deploying three combat teams in Gaza and the massive destruction it is causing is bearing fruit.

Harel pointed out that the Israeli army sometimes faced fierce resistance from Hamas fighters, but he considered that they were having difficulty withstanding the Israeli military pressure in the western part of Gaza City and its northern suburbs.

He said that Hamas would seek to conclude prisoner exchange deals, presenting them as a strategic victory.

According to the Israeli analyst, this time the army obtained approval for a major ground operation despite politicians’ fears of failure and losses.

Regarding the emergence of international pressure on Israel to stop the war, he stated that the Israeli officers in Gaza believe that “the operation should end only after the defeat of Hamas.”

Regarding the destruction caused by the Israeli invasion, Harel said that removing its effects could take years.

The British newspaper Middle East Monitor said on Tuesday that Israel has lost its credibility as a result of its many allegations and accusations that are not supported by evidence from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), in contrast to the superior credibility of the Palestinian resistance factions that provide evidence for its stories.

The newspaper described Israel's accusations against Hamas as "illogical", especially since they came without investigations, evidence or context, such as its account that it killed a terrorist who was preventing civilians from escaping from the Shifa Medical Complex, or that Hamas fighters beheaded 40 children and raped young girls on the day the battle began on October 7th.

The newspaper stated that Israel's allegations come within the framework of an attempt to demonize the Palestinian resistance as a means of justifying the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, but the Palestinians' documentation of Israel's crimes in Gaza has made Tel Aviv lose its international credibility.

Israeli lies can no longer withstand the documentation of atrocities and the pressure of truth coming from Gaza, even though Israel has recruited journalists and influencers to portray Palestinians as “human animals,” according to the newspaper.

The newspaper added that the accuracy of the Palestinian story forced American officials, who initially doubted the numbers of casualties in the Gaza Strip, to finally admit that the Palestinians were telling the truth.

The credibility of the resistance

The newspaper pointed out that “Abu Ubaida” and Abu Hamza, the military spokesmen for the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades, respectively, provide very accurate accounts of the nature of the battle and the losses and progress of the Israeli military forces in their statements.

Abu Ubaida's statements are often followed by video clips documenting the systematic destruction of Israeli tanks to prove the validity of his statements, while the Israeli side does not provide proof to document his claims, according to the newspaper.

Ineffective advertising

The newspaper reported that Israeli propaganda is no longer able to influence, despite the continued support of major media outlets for Tel Aviv.

This is because the Palestinians and supporters of its cause overtook Israel by using social media, which, for the first time, overshadowed the organized propaganda campaigns in traditional media.

The newspaper added that Hamas's surprise operation on October 7 did not allow Israel to plan a media campaign to justify its widespread war in the Gaza Strip and its killing of civilians.

The newspaper stressed that Israel's loss of credibility will push people to reconsider their ideas about Israel's present, future and past, that is, the foundation of the Zionist regime itself, which is based on nothing but lies.

Today, Tuesday, the American newspaper The Washington Post published an article written by His Majesty King Abdullah II, in which he stressed that the two-state solution is the only way to achieve peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

His Majesty the King stressed that thousands of victims during more than a month of war on Gaza, the majority of them civilians, and that thousands of children were killed under the rubble of destroyed homes, schools and hospitals in Gaza, asking, “How can these brutal acts and crimes be accepted in the name of our common humanity?”

His Majesty called for respecting humanitarian principles “before it is too late and we reach the point of moral collapse for all of us,” pointing out that leaders around the world have a responsibility to confront the full truth of this crisis, no matter how horrific it is.

His Majesty the King pointed out that the families in Gaza who are being bombed and forced out of their homes with no place to take shelter are victims of collective punishment, as there is no safe place anymore, neither a hospital, nor a school, nor a United Nations building.

His Majesty said: “There is no doubt that the residents of Gaza will not leave their homes because of a leaflet or a text message ordering them to do so. They know that leaving means losing hope, dignity, and the opportunity to return to their land. They have witnessed this happen with many Palestinians before them and their ancestors throughout the past seven decades of this year.” "Conflict."

His Majesty the King added that the Israeli leadership that does not want to take the path of peace based on the two-state solution will not be able to provide the security that its people need.

His Majesty stressed that the Israelis cannot believe that security solutions alone will guarantee their safety and the continuation of their lives as usual, while the Palestinians live in misery and injustice.

His Majesty the King continued, "With the absence of a political horizon, there will be no future of peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike."

His Majesty pointed out that our responsibility at the present time is not limited only to imposing humanitarian intervention and ending the horrific war, but also to recognize that the current path is not a path in which any party will win.

His Majesty the King warned that if the situation remains as it is in the coming days, this would prompt an ongoing war of contradictory narratives about who has the right to hate more and kill more, and extremism, revenge, and persecution would increase, not only in the region, but throughout the world.

His Majesty stressed that the priority is to make a concerted international effort to develop a regional structure for peace, security and prosperity, built on Palestinian-Israeli peace on the basis of the two-state solution.

His Majesty the King wondered if there were realistic alternatives to the two-state solution, saying, "It is difficult to imagine any of them. A one-state solution would force Israel's identity to accommodate competing national identities, and a no-state solution would deprive the Palestinians of their rights and dignity."

His Majesty concluded, “Leaders who have a sense of responsibility must work to achieve results, starting now. This work will not be easy, but it is necessary. There is no victory in the massacre that we are witnessing, and no one will win unless the Palestinians obtain their rights and their state. Only this will amount to a victory.” "A real peace, for Palestinians and Israelis alike. It will also be, more than anything else, a victory for our common humanity."

The Anglican Archbishop of Jerusalem, Bishop Hossam Naoum, urged the leaders of the Evangelical Episcopal churches in the world to work for a “ceasefire and achieve peace,” in light of the continued Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October.

During his participation in the work of the General Synod of the Evangelical Episcopal Church, along with many bishops and priests from around the world, Bishop Naoum stressed “the importance of continuing to work to achieve peace, a ceasefire, providing protection for civilians, and stopping all forms of violence that have claimed the lives of children and women.” And the elderly.”

The leaders of the Evangelical Episcopal Churches called on the participants in the Synod to “pray for the achievement of permanent and comprehensive peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis, and to make all efforts to achieve security and stability” in the Holy Land, stressing the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state.

In turn, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, in his speech, called for a ceasefire and to open the way for humanitarian aid to reach Gaza, pointing out the catastrophic and unfortunate conditions that the besieged Gaza Strip is witnessing.

He said, “The continued bombing of hospitals and civilians in Gaza cannot be tolerated, violates international humanitarian law, and must stop immediately,” noting that “the situation facing staff and patients in Gaza’s hospitals is catastrophic, and everything must be done to restore the health care system in Gaza and protect those who suffer from it.” "They need it desperately."

He added: "I pray for the brave staff and patients at Al-Ahly Arab (Baptist) Hospital, which is run by the Anglican Church in Gaza."

It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre in the Baptist Hospital on October 17, which resulted in the martyrdom and wounding of hundreds of our people, after they bombed the hospital while thousands of displaced people were present who took refuge there after their homes were destroyed and were searching for a safe place.

The New York Times revealed on Tuesday that more than 400 employees and appointed politicians, representing about 40 US government agencies, wrote a letter to US President Joe Biden on Tuesday to protest his support for Israel in the war it is waging on the Gaza Strip, and demanded work on an “immediate ceasefire.” And pushing Israel towards allowing humanitarian aid to enter the Strip.

According to the newspaper, this letter is the latest in a series of protest letters and memos from US government employees, including three internal memos signed by dozens of State Department employees, and an open letter signed by more than 1,000 employees at the US Agency for International Development, last week.

The newspaper said that the signatories of the letter sent on Tuesday and the letter sent by the United States Agency for International Development did not publish their names due to “concern for their personal safety and the risk of losing their jobs,” while the Foreign Ministry memos indicate the names of the signatories according to a mechanism in the ministry that allows its employees to express their opposition to government policies with Attach their names, without fear of reprisal.

It is noteworthy that the official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in his response to journalists’ questions, including the Al-Quds newspaper correspondent, in this regard, that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken encourages the channel for expressing opinions and understands the employees’ feelings and concerns about what is happening in Gaza.

According to the newspaper: “The letter signed by 400 people begins by condemning the Hamas attack on October 7, then calls on Biden to work to stop the war, as the letter stated: We call on President Biden to urgently demand a ceasefire, and to call for an end to the escalation of the current conflict by ensuring the immediate release of Israeli hostages and arbitrarily detained Palestinians, the restoration of water, fuel, electricity and other basic services, and the passage of adequate humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.”

The letter adds that "the overwhelming majority of Americans support a ceasefire," attaching an opinion poll that showed that 66 percent of Americans believe that the United States should pressure Israel for a ceasefire.

The letter also stated: “The Americans do not want the US military to be dragged into another costly and meaningless war in the Middle East.”

The newspaper attributes to two political appointees who helped organize this protest. The majority of the signatories are political appointees with different orientations, and they work in all sectors of the government, from the National Security Council to the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Some of the letter's signatories are those who helped Biden in his 2020 election campaign, and they said in interviews that they were concerned that the administration's support for the war conflicted with the position of Democratic voters on the issue.

Two people who helped organize the letter said they agreed to serve in the administration because Biden emphasized that he wanted a government more representative of American voters, but their concerns and those of other political appointees were "largely ignored."

On the other hand, the New York Times says that some American officials said privately that while senior officials welcome differences of opinion, government employees must understand and accept that they will not always agree with American policy.

The officials said opposition to the administration's policy "reflects a generational gap and the majority of opponents are employees in their 20s and 30s, although many older employees are also among the protesters."

The US administration opposes the ceasefire, fearing that it would allow Hamas to reshape its ranks to launch future attacks, and instead called for humanitarian truces to allow aid to be delivered to Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages.

The newspaper says that the protest letters came after a meeting of about 70 Muslim and Arab political appointees with senior officials in the Biden administration on October 23.

During the meeting, they said that they were under pressure from their friends and families to resign, and the meeting witnessed the crying of some of the attendees who were demanding a ceasefire, not ignoring the lives of civilians, and restricting the sending of weapons to the Israeli army.

The newspaper indicates that 3 protest notes were sent by State Department employees to Secretary Anthony Blinken. Two in the first week of the war and the third recently.

According to the newspaper, the memorandum stated that the measures taken by Israel in the wake of the October 7 attack, which include cutting off electricity, restricting aid, and launching attacks that led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, “all constitute war crimes and/or crimes against humanity under international law.”

The New York Times said on Tuesday that Blinken responded on Monday to “internal opposition” by sending an email to ministry employees in which he wrote: “I know that the suffering resulting from this crisis has a profound personal impact on many of you,” adding that he realizes that “some people “In ministry they may disagree with our approach or have views on what we should do better.”

Blinken said in the letter that the State Department "organized forums in Washington to listen to you, and urged managers and teams to have frank discussions so we can hear your comments and ideas."

The Israeli Minister of Security, Yoav Galant, said that the Israeli ground incursion into the besieged Gaza Strip will continue for “long months,” indicating that it will include the north and south of the Strip, in the first public statement by an Israeli official that the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip will include the southern regions, which are now teeming with hundreds of thousands of displaced people from the northern Gaza Strip.

This came in a press conference held by the Israeli Minister of Security this evening, Tuesday, to review the developments in Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. He said that “no place will be immune in the Gaza Strip until Israel achieves its declared war goals, which are eliminating the Hamas movement and releasing the prisoners.” And hostages held by the resistance in Gaza.

Gallant was also asked during the press conference “whether the release of Palestinian prisoners in occupation prisons, under a prisoner exchange deal with the Hamas movement, “does not constitute a security threat to the citizens of Israel,” and Gallant refused to answer, and said: “It is good that there is more hidden in this matter than what is declared".

The Israeli "war cabinet" will be held this evening to discuss a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas, according to Israeli reports, in reference to a deal that may include the release of civilian hostages in the Gaza Strip, with a focus on women, children and dual nationals, in exchange for the release of prisoners. Women and children in occupation prisons and a humanitarian truce in Gaza for a period ranging between 3 and 5 days.

Gallant claimed that the Israeli army now controls the northern and central sectors of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City, and added that he "approved plans to continue progress today and in the coming days. There will be no safe place in Gaza until we complete our mission and return the hostages."

At the conclusion of a visit to Israeli towns and military sites near the border areas with Lebanon, the minister in the Israeli “war cabinet,” Betty Gantz, said on Tuesday evening that “even if it required a ceasefire in order to return the hostages (held by the resistance factions in Gaza) "There will be no stopping to the war. We will continue until the goals are achieved."

Gantz added, "Even in these days and in these moments, we are making every political and military effort to return the hostages to their homes safely. Every effort is being made to return them all by any means. We will not return (from the war) until all tasks are completed, and we will continue fighting until the reality inside "Our borders"  changes.

Earlier today, the Israeli army announced its control of several government buildings in the Gaza Strip at a time when the ongoing fighting has intensified since the seventh of last October. The occupation army claimed that its forces "captured the Hamas parliament (legislative council), the government building, the Hamas police headquarters, and an engineering college that served as an institute for weapons production and development."

Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said on Tuesday that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres does not deserve to be the head of the UN organization.

Cohen said during a press conference at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva: “Guterres does not deserve to be at the head of the United Nations.” Guterres did not encourage any peace process in the region. Guterres, like all free nations, should say clearly and loudly: “Liberate Gaza from Hamas,” according to what Agence France-Presse reported.

Families of Israeli prisoners in Gaza escalated their pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu's government on Tuesday, by organizing a protest march from Tel Aviv to the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem to demand practical steps to return their children.

Hundreds of people organized a stand in the city of Tel Aviv before setting off on foot for a distance of 63 kilometers, in a march that is planned to arrive next Saturday in front of the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office in West Jerusalem.

The families of the prisoners demanded that Netanyahu's government give them answers about the procedures they are following to return their families, and a deal to release all the hostages, stressing that every day that the detainees remain in Gaza puts their lives in danger.

The Hostage Forum also called on the government to reveal the demands it had placed within the framework of concluding a deal to release all hostages held in Gaza.

The protest march comes in the wake of conflicting information regarding a possible prisoner exchange deal with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) mediated by Qatari-American.

The Hamas movement reported that the Israeli government is delaying concluding a deal to release the prisoners, as Hamas is offering Israel a truce for several days, the entry of fuel and food into Gaza, and the release of prisoners from Israeli prisons in exchange for the release of a number of Israeli prisoners, including those with foreign nationalities.

While the Israeli government says that increased military pressure in Gaza will help with the return of prisoners, a number of Israeli detainees were killed as a result of the bombing of Gaza, which raises the fears of the families of the prisoners for the lives of their loved ones.

The head of the Israeli General Security Service (Shin Bet), Ronen Bar, is holding talks with the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Major General Abbas Kamel, in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, within the framework of negotiations regarding Israeli prisoners and hostages held by the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip.

This came, according to what was reported by the Israeli media, this evening, Tuesday, coinciding with the statements issued by the US President, Joe Biden, in this regard, in which he said that he “believes that the detainees in the Gaza Strip will be released,” and added that he “does not want to go into detail.” In the details.

Biden was asked by a journalist at the White House about the possibility of reaching a deal to release Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip, and he replied: “I speak with the people involved (in the negotiations to release the hostages) every day. I believe this will happen, but I do not want to go into details.” “My message to families: Wait, we are coming.”

In response to Biden’s statements, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement in which he said that his government “has been working continuously since the beginning of the war to liberate the abductees, including applying increasing pressure since the beginning of the ground incursion,” and he continued, “When we reach something concrete, we must Announce it, we will do it."

Meanwhile, the White House announced that the American envoy is on his way to the Middle East to hold talks with officials in Israel, the West Bank, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, noting that the American President refused to answer a question regarding the progress of the indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas, and the extent of the closeness to reaching an agreement on the prisoners. And hostages.

Regarding the Shin Bet chief’s visit to Cairo, it was reported that Barr arrived in the Egyptian capital this morning, and met with the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Major General Abbas Kamel, and the talks focused on “efforts to release hostage prisoners and Egypt’s role in Gaza during the (Israeli) war on the Gaza Strip, as well as in The day after the war."

Senior leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Osama Hamdan, said, “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is prolonging the war on the Gaza Strip for personal reasons,” and explained that the occupation aims to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip and repeat the Nakba.

Osama Hamdan indicated - in a press conference held in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Tuesday - that Netanyahu does not care about the Israelis, nor about his soldiers in the field.

He sent a message to the families of detainees and foreigners in Gaza saying, “We want your children to return to you, but the one obstructing this is the Netanyahu government,” calling on the Israeli families whose members are detained in the Strip to put pressure on “the government of the opportunist Netanyahu, and do not waste time, as time is almost running out.”

Hamdan said clearly, "Nothing will prevent the liberation of our prisoners in the occupation prisons."

Regarding the statements of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich welcoming the resettlement of Gaza residents in Western countries, the Hamas leader said, “We are staying on this land, and you are cowardly passers-by.”

In this context, Hamdan considered that the occupation’s targeting of infrastructure and hospitals in Gaza is an attempt to “push our people to flee the Strip.”

He stressed that the Hamas movement is fighting the battle to end the occupation, protect Al-Aqsa Mosque, liberate the prisoners, and establish a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital. He said, "The battle is still in its beginning, and what is coming is greater."

Regarding field developments in the Gaza Strip, the Hamas leader reassured the Palestinian people and free peoples that the resistance and the Al-Qassam Brigades - the movement’s military wing - are fine and in control of the situation.

Medical sector

The Hamas leader renewed his invitation to the United Nations and international organizations to come to the Gaza Strip to protect hospitals and medical centers, and noted the movement’s request from the United Nations to form an international committee to follow up on hospitals in the Gaza Strip to refute the lies of the occupation.

He described the claims of Israeli occupation army spokesman Daniel Hagari regarding Al-Rantisi Hospital in Gaza as "naive and reveal the psychological state of a defeated army," and refuted all the allegations he mentioned regarding the basement located beneath the hospital that specializes in treating pediatric cancer patients.

He expressed his appreciation for the Arab, Islamic and free peoples, and called on them to continue demonstrating until the Israeli aggression against Gaza stops.

He considered burying 170 bodies in mass graves in Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City a disgrace to the international community, and renewed the demand to completely open the Rafah border crossing with Egypt to bring in aid and treat the wounded.

On Tuesday evening, settlers closed the Ain al-Hilweh junction in the northern Jordan Valley.

The head of the Al-Malih and Bedouin village council, Mahdi Daraghmeh, said that a group of settlers closed the Ain al-Hilweh junction, under the protection of the occupation forces.

He stated that this junction is vital, as it connects several Palestinian communities to the northern Jordan Valley.

.Israeli media directly accused Egypt of arming the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, claiming that most of the weapons obtained by the movement came through tunnels from Sinai.

The "Bahdrei Hardim" website, which is affiliated with the extremist Jewish religious movement in Israel, said that most of Hamas's arsenal against Israel came from Egypt.

The website added that Israel possesses armed forces among the most advanced in the world, and Hamas today possesses advanced weapons. Many anti-tank weapons have been smuggled into Gaza through tunnels from Sinai in Egypt to the Gaza Strip, and via trucks moving between Egypt and Gaza.

The site noted that years ago, Israeli forces faced stones and Molotov cocktails thrown by Palestinians, but these days the Israeli army faces weapons such as laser-guided missiles and anti-tank weapons in Gaza.

Analysts told the Washington Post that Israel is closely monitoring the types of weapons in the hands of Hamas, including modern sniper rifles, RPGs, magnetic bombs, attack drones, mini-submarines, mines, anti-tank missiles, and long-range missiles. Rockets can reach Haifa and as far south as Eilat, although they still lack accuracy.

Sama News

A report issued by "Israel Defense" magazine, published by the Israeli army, stated that Israel is required to threaten Egypt, and if necessary, Tel Aviv must attack on all fronts.

The Israeli military magazine report added that in the Middle East, armies of “murderers” have arisen, supported by Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria, and provided with bases, infrastructure, and weapons.

The magazine explained that the anti-Tel Aviv armed movements are being equipped with huge quantities of weapons while Egypt turns a blind eye. On the other hand, the Israeli tourist who enters Egypt or Sinai with a single bullet in his backpack is immediately imprisoned (referring to the incident of the arrest of an Israeli tourist). In Sinai, bullets were recently found in his bag.

The magazine, which directed its attack on Egypt, claimed: “Egypt has violated the peace agreement and is blatantly violating it without any Israeli response for fear of harming the agreement.”

It pointed out that the peace agreement stipulated the presence of an Egyptian force with a division size of only 60 kilometers east of the canal, but the Egyptians built three military airports with apartments and infrastructure for supplies and fuel, permanent camps for the divisions, and a force of about 100 tanks in Rafah, in addition to six crossings. The size of the highway under the Suez Canal and three radar stations in Sinai. What is more, the Egyptian army possesses modern Western and Eastern weapons, and all this armament is aimed at one target, which is Israel.

The magazine said that Sisi, “our friend,” is working against us with determination, even though our translators are keen to praise the peace agreement with him, and even warn that any measure in Gaza, such as the temporary transfer of uninvolved people to Egyptian territory, will lead to the destruction of this “important” agreement.

The magazine published by the Israeli army said that the settlement in the Egyptian context would put Israel in an impossible situation on its southern borders.

The magazine added that the ongoing Gaza war revealed the failures that arose in the vision of peace with armed organizations, not only tactical failures, but also strategic failures, which have accumulated over the years since the agreement with Egypt in 1977.

The Hebrew magazine's report criticized Tel Aviv's reliance on the Qataris who support Iran, and on Egypt, which was keen to arm Hamas and openly violates any agreement with Israel without fear.

The Israeli military magazine concluded its report by saying: “We will not be able to continue living here in the comprehensive defensive approach until now. The event in the south is a way to change our strategy, and we will receive all Western aid if we act correctly.”
