The Israeli army warned on Friday of the evacuation of a residential tower and its surroundings in the northern Rimal neighborhood west of Gaza City, in preparation for its bombing.

Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee stated in a message accompanied by a map: "An urgent warning to all who have not yet evacuated the Gaza port area and the Rimal neighborhood in blocks 724, 725, 777, 835, 704, 702, and 709 near the tower marked in red and the adjacent tents on Amin al-Husseini Street."

He added: "The Israeli army will attack the building soon," without mentioning its name.

The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday the formation of an "Emergency International Coalition" to provide an urgent financial aid package to support the Palestinian Authority in facing its financial crisis, which it described as "urgent and unprecedented."

The coalition includes, in its initial phase, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Britain, Japan, and France, alongside Norway, which led this initiative.

The Norwegian Foreign Ministry confirmed in an official statement that this move comes as a necessary response to prevent the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, noting that the coalition's immediate goal is to achieve financial stability for the authority, ensure its continued ability to govern, provide essential services to the Palestinian people, and maintain security stability.

As a practical first step, the Norwegian government announced its contribution of $4 million as part of this emergency package, while the total amount of funding that the coalition seeks to raise from the other participating countries has not yet been disclosed.

The coalition's statement did not limit itself to providing financial support only, but also issued a clear call to the occupying government for the immediate release of the withheld Palestinian clearance funds, which the member states affirmed are a sovereign right of the Palestinian Authority.

These funds, which the occupying authorities collect on behalf of the authority for imported goods, are a vital and primary lifeline for Palestinian budget revenues.

The Palestinian Authority is suffering from a suffocating crisis exacerbated by the occupation's withholding of tax revenues, which has significantly affected its ability to pay salaries to its employees in the public and security sectors and meet its obligations to citizens.

This international initiative is viewed as an attempt to provide a safety net to prevent the deterioration of humanitarian and security conditions in the Palestinian territories and emphasizes the importance of the authority's existence as a fundamental part of any future solution to the conflict.

The Hebrew broadcasting authority stated on Friday that the Israeli army will broadcast Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech before the United Nations General Assembly in the besieged Gaza Strip using loudspeakers, as part of the "psychological warfare" against the Palestinians.

The official authority added that "the southern command of the army will broadcast the Prime Minister's speech at the UN through loudspeakers inside the Gaza Strip today (Friday)." The authority noted that "the reason for this step is unclear."

It quoted an unnamed source as saying that Netanyahu will emphasize in his speech the attack by "Hamas" on October 7, 2023, on Israeli military bases, which was considered the largest security breach in Tel Aviv's history.

For its part, the private Channel 12 in Israel reported: "In recent days, the Prime Minister's office has asked the Israeli army to place loudspeakers at various points inside Gaza so that the residents (Palestinians) can hear Netanyahu's speech at the UN."

The channel continued: "The Prime Minister's office and the army refused to comment (on this step)." It quoted unnamed military sources as saying that "the request from Netanyahu's office to broadcast the speech to the residents of the Gaza Strip could pose an operational risk to the soldiers who would have to leave fortified positions to install the loudspeakers."

In this context, the private Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" quoted an unnamed senior officer as saying: "It's a crazy idea; no one understands what the military benefit of it is."

It also quoted an unnamed Israeli source as saying that the step comes within the framework of "psychological warfare."

Netanyahu is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly today at 16:00 Israel time (+2 GMT). Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza with American support, resulting in 65,502 deaths and 167,376 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and famine that has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.

The ambassador of the occupation at the United Nations revealed the existence of "intensive work" within the White House to finalize the "next day" plan for the war in the Gaza Strip, confirming that any future for the sector depends on the release of the detainees and completely removing Hamas from the scene.

These statements come to emphasize the utmost importance that the U.S. administration places on the future of the besieged sector, as this issue is set to be the main item on the agenda for the upcoming meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to the radio report, the occupation's vision for the "next day" is clear and defined by two non-negotiable conditions: First, the release of all detainees in the Gaza Strip. Second, ensuring that Hamas does not remain in any position of authority or influence within the sector.

A poll conducted on Friday showed that 53 percent of Israelis support U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip, while 63 percent expressed concern over the growing international recognition of the State of Palestine.

This was according to a survey published by the newspaper "Maariv," conducted by the "Lazar" Institute (private) on a random sample of 502 Israelis with a margin of error of 4.4 percent.

According to the results, 53 percent of Israelis supported Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, while 17 percent opposed it, and 30 percent reported that they did not know.

On Tuesday evening, Trump presented a 21-point plan to leaders of Arab and Islamic countries on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly held in New York, aimed at ending the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip for two years.

While 53 percent of Israelis believed that the war in Gaza should be stopped and focus should be on the return of prisoners, 37 percent said that Tel Aviv should continue its war until "Hamas" is defeated, while 10 percent stated that they had no specific opinion.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza with U.S. support, resulting in 65,502 deaths and 167,376 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and famine that has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli captives in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while around 11,100 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many having died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Additionally, 63 percent of Israelis expressed concern over the growing international recognition of the State of Palestine, compared to 32 percent who said they were not bothered, and 5 percent who reported that they did not know.

A majority of 59 percent of Israelis indicated that they were worried about the possibility of Tel Aviv being excluded from international cultural and sports events, compared to 36 percent who showed no concern, and 5 percent who said they had no specific opinion.

In recent days, 11 countries have recognized the State of Palestine, namely: Britain, Canada, Australia, Portugal, Luxembourg, Belgium, Andorra, France, Malta, Monaco, and San Marino, bringing the total number of recognizers to 159 out of 193 UN member states.

According to the results, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's camp would secure 48 seats in the Knesset if elections were held today, compared to 62 for the opposition camp and 10 for Arab representatives.

The Knesset consists of 120 seats, and forming a government requires the confidence of at least 61 deputies, while elections are not on the horizon due to Netanyahu's refusal to hold elections during the war.

Gaza 26-9-2025 Wafa - 10 citizens waiting for aid were martyred today, Friday, by the gunfire of the Israeli occupation forces in central Gaza Strip.

A medical source at Al-Awda Hospital announced the arrival of 10 martyrs to the hospital, including two children and 18 injuries due to the targeting by the Israeli occupation near the "Netzarim" area south of Wadi Gaza in the middle of the strip.

The Israeli newspaper "Haaretz," citing a new opinion poll conducted by Quinnipiac University in the United States, revealed an unprecedented decline in the level of public support for the Israeli occupation within the United States, amid the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip for the third consecutive year.

According to the poll, which included 1,276 registered voters between September 18 and 21, 2025, only 47% of participants said that supporting the Israeli occupation serves American national interests, while 41% disagreed, and 12% refrained from answering.

This represents a sharp shift compared to a poll conducted by the university in December 2023, when 69% of Americans supported the occupation while 23% opposed it.

The poll showed that 49% of American voters have a negative impression of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while only 21% expressed a positive opinion of him, just before his anticipated speech at the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Friday, and his meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House next Monday.

The results also reflected a decline in Americans' confidence in Trump's handling of the Palestinian-Israeli issue, with only 31% expressing satisfaction with the ongoing Israeli occupation war in Gaza, while 56% rejected his management of it.

These data indicate a fundamental shift in American public sentiment, after decades of support for the occupation being a nearly consensus issue between the Republican and Democratic parties.

A Quinnipiac poll from 2023 showed that 49% of Americans sympathized with Israelis, compared to 24% with Palestinians, but the current figures align with results from a University of Maryland poll and a Gallup report that confirmed support for the Israeli occupation among Americans has reached its lowest historical levels.

The results reveal a sharp partisan divide, as only 8% of Democrats and 25% of independents supported the Israeli campaign in Gaza, compared to 71% of Republicans, according to Gallup.

Only 32% of Americans said they support increasing military aid to the Israeli occupation, while 60% opposed it, with opposition being more pronounced among Democrats and independents.

According to the poll, half of registered American voters believe that the occupation is committing genocide in Gaza, the highest level recorded in the United States.

This belief is more concentrated among Democrats and younger voters compared to Republicans and older individuals, highlighting the depth of partisan division within American society.

Another poll conducted by "Reuters/Ipsos" showed that 58% of Americans support UN recognition of a Palestinian state, while 59% believe that the Israeli military response in Gaza is "excessive."

At the European level, a poll in Germany revealed that 65% of citizens support imposing a partial ban on arms supplies to the Israeli occupation, reflecting growing international concern over the continuation of the war.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti confirmed on Thursday evening that his country is open to the idea of deploying international forces in the Gaza Strip, under a resolution from the United Nations Security Council, with the aim of assisting the Palestinian Authority in managing the sector.

Abdel Atti stated at a press conference in New York, regarding the international coalition for a two-state solution, which included foreign ministers from Arab and European countries such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Norway, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting, that "we are open to deploying international forces in Gaza under a resolution from the United Nations Security Council to assist the Palestinian Authority in managing the sector."

He pointed out that "there is consensus on a temporary Palestinian administration for the sector without the participation of factions," but he did not provide further details on this matter.

The Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" described what happened during the eighty-first session of the United Nations General Assembly as a "harsh diplomatic defeat and unprecedented political decline" for the occupying government.

This shocking assessment from the Hebrew media comes in the wake of a wide wave of international support for the Palestinian cause, which culminated in the recognition of the State of Palestine by major Western countries.

The newspaper attributed this "decline" primarily to the French-Saudi conference held in New York, which sparked a new wave of recognitions of the State of Palestine by significant countries such as France, Britain, Canada, Spain, and Australia.

Nablus 26-9-2025 WA - Israeli occupation forces arrested 22 citizens early this Friday during their incursion into the city of Nablus and the camps of Aida and Balata, as well as the villages of Zawata and Kafr Qalil.

Local and security sources reported that occupation jeeps stormed several neighborhoods of the city, and the camps of Balata, Old Aida, and New Aida, and the villages of Beita and Kafr Qalil south of Nablus, and Zawata to the west.

They raided a number of homes there, searched them, tampered with their contents, and arrested journalists Muhammad Muna from Zawata, Nawaf Al-Amir from Kafr Qalil, and Abdullah Mansour from Kafr Qalil as well.

A lengthy meeting lasting about two hours took place at the Regency Hotel in New York between the Prime Minister of the occupying entity, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the American envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, as part of intensive talks taking place on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly to reach a deal for the exchange of detainees and to end the war.

The Hebrew channel "Kan" reported that the American envoys left the meeting and refused to answer journalists' questions about the content of the meeting, indicating the secrecy and sensitivity of the ongoing discussions.

Despite the strict confidentiality, the channel quoted American envoy Steve Witkoff expressing cautious optimism, stating: "I hope that a deal will be reached for the release of the detainees."

The French leftist thinker and international expert on geopolitical changes, Pascal Boniface, is considered one of the most prominent French and Western intellectuals and politicians who have been criticizing Israeli occupation policies and the bias of senior European media figures and government and security officials towards the Israeli colonial narrative for a quarter of a century.

Boniface published a book a quarter of a century ago that caused him many problems titled: "Can We Criticize Israel?".. Pascal Boniface has authored more than eighty books on international relations, American-Israeli and Atlantic wars, "hostility to Islam," "Islamophobia," and the confusion between Arab Islamic thought and the phenomena of "anti-Semitism" and "justifying war crimes" committed by the occupying authorities against the Palestinian people.

Pascal Boniface was forced to withdraw from the French Socialist Party and Parliament due to his opposition to the occupation policies during Ariel Sharon's era and his reservations about the campaigns targeting the Egyptian-European thinker Tariq Ramadan and all symbols of "political Islam" from religious and cultural racist and colonial perspectives.

On the occasion of the release of Boniface's new book on "Israel and Palestine," he visited Tunisia and gave lectures accompanied by discussions with a number of Arab and foreign intellectuals about his books and developments in occupied Palestine and the region, some at the cultural center affiliated with the French embassy in Tunisia and others at Tunisian universities and publishing houses.

The French leftist thinker Pascal Boniface announced that among the weaknesses in the current relations between France and Western countries on one side and Tunisia and the Arab Islamic world on the other is the "misjudgment" of decision-makers in Northern countries regarding the concerns of Southern countries in general and particularly Arab Islamic countries.

Boniface highlighted the dangers of the current expansionist projects of the Israeli occupying authorities, which he accused of being involved in a genocidal war and a horrific "live" massacre against the Palestinian people in general, especially in the occupied Gaza Strip.

The French thinker noted that a significant segment of the youth, intellectuals, and elites he met at Tunisian universities and several research centers, including the government French cultural center in Tunisia, expressed "dismay" at what they considered the confusion in French and Western media between Islam as thought, civilization, and peoples, and extremism and terrorism.

Alongside the confusion between the Jews of the world and the policies of the current Israeli government involved in killing tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, starving them, and extending a comprehensive siege imposed on them for more than twenty years.

Pascal Boniface considered that this confusion deepens the crises in the region and the world and hinders Western capitals from taking "practical and immediate steps" to stop the war immediately in Gaza and the West Bank and the risks of its expansion.

The French thinker, who is an expert in several global geopolitical and military research centers, noted that "French and Western media have been biased against Arab and Muslim issues for decades."

He linked the failures of French and Western foreign policy in the Arab and Islamic world to the failure to reach a fair settlement for the liberation of Palestine.

He also explained these failures by the relationships of France and Western countries with Southern countries based on the preconceived positions of decision-makers towards Islam and national liberation movements and what is called "Jewish-Christian cultural and intellectual references" and "Western modernity."

The French thinker criticized the demonization of the intellectual and cultural background of all Palestinian national movements.

He warned against the exacerbation of the phenomenon of "confusion between secularism and hostility to Islam... between the right to criticize Israeli colonial policies and attacking all Jews and all Westerners."

Despite the participation of millions of young people and Western citizens and Jews in movements against the wars of the Israeli government and its partners in occupied Palestine and the entire region.

Boniface noted that "millions of Palestinians have been bombed and killed for a quarter of a century in public while they are in a 'large open prison'... and they cannot emigrate unlike the victims of other bloody wars.

The risks have escalated since October 2023 with the onset of an unprecedented genocidal war in the fiercely besieged Gaza Strip.

The situation has become more complicated and rotten during Donald Trump's era after years of the "duality" of Biden's administration policies, which faced "criticisms" of Netanyahu's government and its wars but continued to send it weapons and funding.

What are the geopolitical dimensions of the current war in occupied Palestine and the entire region?

And is it expected that the new global recognition of the Palestinian state will lead to a fundamental change in international relations and in the opportunities for war and peace in

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's call before the United Nations General Assembly to hand over the weapons of resistance, asserting that the only way to confront the Israeli occupation's projects of extermination and displacement is through national consensus on a comprehensive struggle program.

The movement stated in a statement published on Thursday evening that resistance is "a national and moral responsibility that derives its legitimacy from our steadfast Palestinian people, and from their natural right to resist occupation, as recognized by international laws and conventions. We absolutely reject the President's alignment with the false Zionist narrative that attempts to distort it by accusing it of targeting civilians."

The statement emphasized that "all attempts to impose guardianship over our people and their will will fail." Hamas viewed the Palestinian Authority President's assertion that the movement would have no role in governance as an infringement on the legitimate right of our Palestinian people to determine their own fate and choose their rulers, and as an unacceptable submission to external dictates and projects.

The movement stressed that "the weapons of resistance cannot be touched as long as the occupation is entrenched on our land and in the hearts of our people, and we condemn the President's demand to hand them over, especially in light of what our people in the Gaza Strip are facing from a brutal extermination war, and the crimes and barbaric assaults committed by armed settlers and the occupation army against unarmed civilians in the occupied West Bank."

Abbas called on Hamas and other resistance factions to hand over their weapons to the Palestinian Authority, and he reiterated his rejection of what the movement did on October 7, 2023, in targeting Israeli civilians and taking them hostage, according to his statement.

The Palestinian President delivered his speech at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly via video after the United States refused to grant him a visa to participate in the assembly's proceedings in New York.

Since October 2023, Israel - with American support - has been waging a war of extermination against the residents of the Gaza Strip, involving killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring international calls to stop the war and orders from the International Court of Justice in this regard.

The extermination has resulted in more than 65,000 martyrs and 167,000 injured, with 440 Palestinians, including 147 children, having died due to starvation, according to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Close associates of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that his government may ultimately have to allow the Palestinian Authority to manage the Gaza Strip, as part of the plan being pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

The official broadcasting agency reported, citing unnamed associates of Netanyahu, that his government will eventually have to allow the Palestinian Authority to manage the Gaza Strip "because this is part of a plan formulated by Washington."

Netanyahu's government had previously set five conditions for ending the war in Gaza: the disarmament of "Hamas," the return of both living and deceased prisoners, the demilitarization of Gaza, Israel's security control over it, and the establishment of a civilian administration that is not affiliated with "Hamas" or the Palestinian Authority.

Dozens of Brazilian journalists participated in a solidarity event with Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip, organized via "Zoom" between the Brazilian Journalists' Union and the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate, with the presence of the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Brazil, Ibrahim Al-Zebin.

Al-Zebin emphasized the importance of networking between Brazilian and Palestinian journalists, which allows Brazilian media to obtain information from its true sources through Palestinian journalists, stressing the role of media in conveying the truth and defending just causes.

For his part, the head of the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate, Nasser Abu Bakr, reviewed the crimes and violations faced by Palestinian journalists, pointing to the extent of the dangers they face amid aggression, siege, and starvation, and he thanked the Embassy of the State of Palestine for its efforts in organizing the meeting.

For her part, the president of the Brazilian Journalists' Union, Samira Castro, expressed the solidarity of Brazilian journalists with their Palestinian colleagues, especially in the Gaza Strip in light of what they are suffering due to the genocide war and the continued targeting by the Israeli occupation in an attempt to silence the truth and prevent it from reaching the world.

In turn, the deputy head of the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate, Tahseen Al-Ashtal, provided an explanation about the Syndicate's efforts in establishing media solidarity centers in Gaza and Khan Younis, highlighting the serious violations and crimes faced by Palestinian journalists while performing their work.

The Foreign Minister of the occupying state, Gidon Sa'ar, strongly attacked the speech delivered by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas before the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, describing the president's announcement of his readiness to take over the administration of Gaza after the war as "ridiculous."

In a series of tweets on the platform "X," Sa'ar said: "Mahmoud Abbas said he is ready to take over the Gaza Strip, which he easily lost to Hamas in 2007, how kind of him!"

Sa'ar accused President Abbas of failing to commit to "fighting terrorism," considering this to be "the fundamental commitment on which the Palestinian Authority was established."

He added that the Authority "continues to encourage violence by paying salaries to militants and their families."

Sa'ar also warned Western countries about what he described as the duality in President Abbas's speech, saying: "Mahmoud Abbas says nice words to the West, but his people are supposed to draw conclusions from the 'key' pin he wears on his suit's lapel."

Sa'ar considered this pin to be "a symbol of drowning the occupying state with the descendants of the Arabs who left the country in 1948, and the extermination of the occupying state."

The Foreign Minister of the occupying state concluded his tweet by stating that "the occupying state will not be deceived again."

Gaza 25-9-2025 Wafa - Since the dawn of today, Thursday, 48 citizens have been killed by the bullets and shelling of the occupation army on the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources stated that 11 martyrs were transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, 19 martyrs to Al-Aqsa Hospital, 6 to Al-Awda Hospital, 2 to the Baptist Hospital, and 10 to Al-Shifa Hospital.

The aggression of the occupation on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has resulted in the death of 65,502, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 167,367 others, in a preliminary toll, as there are still a number of victims under the rubble and in the streets, and rescue teams are unable to reach them.

Political sources affiliated with the occupation revealed to Hebrew media that the White House is working on formulating a plan to establish a temporary administration in the Gaza Strip headed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, with the Palestinian Authority being excluded from participation in the initial phase.

According to details previously reported by Hebrew media and confirmed by an Arab source to Hebrew media, the American plan includes the formation of an international body to oversee the administration of the sector and its reconstruction for several coming years.

The proposed plan stipulates the deployment of a multinational international force in the Gaza Strip during the transitional period, with the mission of this force being to guard the borders of the sector and prevent any attempt by Hamas to re-establish its military or political presence there.

U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his belief that an agreement regarding Gaza is close to being reached. This came during his meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday at the White House.

Trump stated that he had a very good meeting with President Erdoğan and other leaders regarding Gaza at the United Nations headquarters. He added, "I think we are on the verge of reaching some agreement."

Regarding U.S.-Turkish relations, Trump noted that Washington has extensive trade relations with Ankara. He added, "Turkey makes great products; we buy a lot from them, and they buy a lot from us."

Trump praised the Turkish president, saying they have been friends for a long time, and that "Erdoğan is a very respected person and is held in high regard in his country and throughout Europe and the world."

He continued: "President Erdoğan is highly respected by (Russian counterpart Vladimir) Putin and (Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr) Zelensky, and everyone respects him, and I do too."

Trump pointed out that "President Erdoğan has built a great army," expressing his honor in hosting him at the White House.

He added: "President Erdoğan is responsible for the success of the struggle to overthrow former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad."

Israeli writer Gideon Levy criticized the recent wave of international recognition of the Palestinian state, stating that it does not change anything about the reality of occupation, genocide, and settlement.

In an opinion piece in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, he wrote that on the day 10 Western countries announced their joining 159 countries that recognized the State of Palestine, settlers were attacking a Palestinian village in the eastern West Bank, stealing dozens of sheep and beating an elderly shepherd (81 years old) and his grandson with sticks until they broke both of his arms, without regard for his old age, while the Israeli police falsely accused the victims of being the ones who stole from the settlers.

Levy points out that the recognition of the State of Palestine has not prevented the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, where dozens of Palestinians are killed daily for months, and it has not changed anything about the reality of the siege and destruction.

The irony that the writer sees is that the recognition of the Palestinian state "has not and will not save even one child in Gaza from bombing," adding that the besieged strip is no longer suitable for human life, and the situation of Palestinians in the West Bank is gradually heading in the same direction.

Levy noted that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was not even allowed to attend the United Nations conference on the two-state solution, in a blatant violation by Washington of its agreement with the UN organization.

He said that the state, which he believes is in the process of formation and is almost recognized by the entire world, will only be able to participate in United Nations General Assembly meetings via video link, while "the number one wanted by the International Criminal Court" will deliver his speech from the podium, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It is worth mentioning that Netanyahu is wanted by international justice on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

The writer believes that the world's recognition, especially from "self-righteous" Europe, is nothing more than "empty rhetoric" directed at the victims of Gaza and the West Bank, while genocide continues unabated and settlers wreak havoc in the West Bank with the participation of the occupation army.

He adds sarcastically that heads of state can now reassure themselves and their angry citizens by saying: "We have punished the criminal and rewarded the victim. We no longer need to exert effort for Gaza; we have done our duty."

He goes on to say that all Israeli parties, even those in opposition, united in condemning the recognition, claiming that it is an expression of anti-Semitism.

Levy concludes that recognizing a Palestinian state under the current circumstances is "ridiculous and insane," emphasizing that there is no real partner for a two-state solution either in Israel or in Palestine, and that the West Bank has become nothing but scattered islands under occupation, while Gaza is destroyed.

Levy stated that real salvation requires the immediate imposition of strict sanctions on Israel, or adopting a long-term vision based on "democracy for all people from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea."

The Israeli army announced on Thursday that it had carried out 170 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours, as part of the genocide it has been committing against the Palestinians for two years.

The army stated in a statement: "The air force struck more than 170 targets across the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours."

For two years, the Israeli army claims to target military objectives, while it actually targets Palestinian civilians, bombarding homes with their inhabitants and striking civilian institutions, including hospitals, schools, and aid distribution centers.

The statement added: "The forces of the 162nd Division continue to fight deep in the city of Gaza, where they attacked several infrastructure sites."

The army claimed that the targeted infrastructure in the city of Gaza "was used to set ambushes aimed at Israeli army forces in the area."

It continued: "Simultaneously, the forces of the 98th Division attacked about 20 targets in the area," in addition to attacks from the 36th Division.

It further stated: "In the northern sector, the forces of the 99th Division are working to destroy infrastructure above and below ground," claiming to have destroyed "an ambush site where explosive devices were found."

On September 21, the Israeli army announced the deepening of its ground operations in the city of Gaza, as part of a plan approved by its government to gradually occupy the sector, which began to be implemented on August 11 with a wide attack on the city.

Since dawn on Thursday, the Israeli army has killed 19 Palestinians and injured dozens in the Gaza Strip, through air and artillery bombardments, including 11 Palestinians who were killed in an airstrike on a populated house in the town of Al-Zawayda in Deir al-Balah in the center of the sector.

According to eyewitnesses and medical sources, the bombardment resulted in the deaths of 19 Palestinians.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,419 deaths and 167,160 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and famine that has claimed the lives of 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.

Israeli occupation forces stormed several villages in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate today, Thursday.

Security sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the villages of Deir Jreer, Al-Taybeh, and Ramoun east of Ramallah, as well as Rantis and Deir Abu Mishal northwest of Ramallah, with no reports of arrests or clashes.

New York City witnessed Egyptian-American discussions on ways to end the war that Israel has been waging on the Gaza Strip for two years. This came during two meetings that brought together Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti with his American counterpart Marco Rubio and Washington's envoy to the Middle East, Steve Wittekov, according to two statements from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Thursday.

During the meeting with Rubio, Abdel Atti reiterated "the appreciation of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for the efforts led by American President Donald Trump to immediately stop the war in Gaza." Abdel Atti stated that the meeting "took place in a positive atmosphere," emphasizing the necessity of "intensifying joint efforts to stop the bloodshed and prevent attempts to displace Palestinians."

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,419 deaths and 167,160 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, in addition to a famine that has claimed the lives of 442 people, including 147 children.

The Italian Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, announced that his country is sending a second ship from the Italian Navy to escort and protect the 'Global Resilience Fleet' heading to the Gaza Strip.

This decision comes as an escalation in the protective measures that Rome is providing for the fleet, following an attack on it by drones last Tuesday.

Minister Crosetto had directed, yesterday Wednesday, the departure of the first warship to assist the fleet, reiterating at the same time his country's strong condemnation of the attack.

In the same context, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that his country will send, on Thursday, a warship from the port of Cartagena in the southeast of the country to protect the Global Resilience Fleet in breaking the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip.

Sánchez stated, in a statement to reporters after participating in a session of the United Nations General Assembly yesterday Wednesday: 'A naval operations ship equipped with all necessary resources will depart (Thursday) from Cartagena to assist the (Global Resilience) fleet and carry out a rescue operation if needed.'

Two Palestinians were killed on Thursday by Israeli army fire after a house was besieged in the town of Tamoun, south of the city of Tubas in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated in a statement: "Mohammed Qassem Ahmad Suleiman (29 years old) and Alaa Joudat Khader Bani Ouda (20 years old) were martyred by the occupation's bullets in the town of Tamoun," clarifying that the army had detained their bodies.

According to eyewitnesses, an Israeli special force infiltrated the town and surrounded a house on the eastern outskirts before clashes erupted in the area.

Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will discuss with U.S. President Donald Trump the need to complete the war objectives in Gaza and achieve peace in the region, while U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff anticipated a breakthrough following the presentation of a 21-point American plan.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority clarified that Netanyahu will discuss with Trump the need to complete the war objectives and expand the circle of peace in the region, according to the Israeli army radio.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted Netanyahu as saying that he will discuss with Trump "the great opportunities that our victory has provided us and our need to achieve the war's objective," as he expressed.

On the other hand, Maariv newspaper reported that the Israeli army informed Netanyahu of the necessity to reach a ceasefire and release the prisoners held under the current situation.

Maariv added that the army and the Shin Bet are aware that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has set a primary goal of abducting a soldier from the army during the maneuver.

The newspaper stated that "the Israeli army is working to clarify the nature of the threat to all its forces."

On another note, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said yesterday, Wednesday, that he expects a breakthrough related to the war in the Gaza Strip in the coming days, explaining that Trump presented a plan in this regard during his meeting with leaders of Arab and Islamic countries on the sidelines of the General Assembly in New York.

Witkoff stated during the Concordia Summit on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, "We presented what we call the Trump plan for peace in the Middle East and Gaza, which consists of 21 points."

He added, "I believe it addresses the concerns of Israel as well as the concerns of all the neighbors in the region."

The Israeli occupation army, with U.S. support, has been waging a war of extermination on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in unprecedented destruction and the martyrdom of 65,382 Palestinians and about 167,000 injured, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The Israeli political and security circles are still discussing the future of the Gaza Strip in the aftermath of the genocide war. Despite the availability of all security and political conditions to end it, the ongoing division among Israelis remains the true reason for the continuation of this war.

General Eitan Ben Eliyahu, the former commander of the Air Force, mentioned that on October 17, 1953, David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of the occupying state, published the document "The Concept of Israeli Security," which covered all relevant aspects, and its quantitative focus was on the inequality between us and our enemies. Over the years, due to the population growth of the state and its technological achievements, the gap has not been completely closed; rather, it has stagnated.

He added in an article published by Channel 12, translated by "Arabi21," that "the principle that guided Ben-Gurion was that the enemy would recover after every war, and it was expected that we would engage in a new round of fighting. Therefore, every round of fighting must end when the occupation has the upper hand, or as Ben-Gurion said, with a clear decision, meaning that the other side is unable, or at least unwilling, to continue fighting, which the Prussian general von Clausewitz defined as 'the decision.'
