In a rare admission, former Israeli Chief of Staff Halevi acknowledges the killing and injury of 200,000 Palestinians in Gaza, which represents more than 10% of the population of the enclave.

Halevi's statements, made during a meeting with settlers in a "kibbutz" south of Tel Aviv, came after his resignation last March, noting that this figure closely aligns with the statistics reported by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.

Halevi revealed the true role of legal advisors in the occupying army, confirming that they never constrained his military decisions "not even once at all."

A newspaper reported that "the Israeli Mossad planned a ground operation targeting Hamas leaders but refused to carry it out, forcing Israel to conduct a failed airstrike in Qatar," according to Israeli sources.

The newspaper quoted sources saying that "the Mossad's refusal to conduct a ground operation against Hamas leaders pushed Israel to carry out the airstrike."

The sources explained that "David Barnea objected to the operation for fear it would harm the relationship between the Mossad and the Qataris."

The newspaper also noted the objections of Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir regarding the timing of the attack, in addition to the fact that Major General Nitzan Alon was not invited to discussions approving the attack plan.

The newspaper continued that "the name of the Mossad was not mentioned in the official statements announcing the attack in Qatar, but the attack was described as being carried out by the Israeli occupation army and the Shin Bet."

The newspaper also claimed that "the reason for this is the intelligence agency's refusal to implement a plan developed in recent weeks to use field agents to assassinate Hamas leaders."

An Israeli source told the newspaper, "We can get them in a year, two years, or four years, and the Mossad knows how to do that. So why do it now?"

A source familiar with the details indicated that "this time the Mossad was not prepared to carry out the operation on the ground," adding that the agency viewed Qatar as an important mediator in talks with Hamas.

The American newspaper report quoted David Makovsky, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute, saying: "Barnea was known to be someone who believes that Qatari mediation has value, and you cannot burn the Qatari mediators or the mediation channel."

According to the report, in addition to Barnea, Chief of Staff Major General Eyal Zamir, who urged Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire agreement, opposed the timing of the attack for fear of harming negotiations, while Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Minister of Defense Israel Katz approved the step.

It was mentioned that Major General Nitzan Alon was not invited to the relevant discussion because senior leaders assumed he would express his opposition to an attack that could endanger the lives of hostages.

The report quoted Israeli sources saying that "the assumption is that Israel will be able to restore relations with Qatar over time, similar to how it overcame the international outrage it caused in the 1970s and 1980s after Prime Minister Golda Meir ordered a series of assassinations in European and Middle Eastern countries following the Munich Olympics operation in 1972."

On the 708th day of the aggression against the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army continued its assault, leaving dozens of martyrs and injured amidst a humanitarian disaster.

The Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of 14 civilians and the injury of 143 others waiting for aid in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of martyrs to 2,479.

In New York, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution supporting the recognition of the Palestinian state, reflecting international support for the Palestinian cause.

What has happened in recent days places the world before a politically and militarily dangerous scene, led by U.S. President Donald Trump with his reckless policies.

The bombing of Qatar was not just a passing Israeli strike, but a strategic decision that reflects a declared American approach based on the use of naked force to reassert American prestige in the region.

Domestically, the assassination of young conservative Charlie Kirk revealed the other face of this policy, where blood is invested as a tool in the internal struggle just as it is abroad.

The bombing of Qatar, a U.S. ally, sends a resounding message that no one in the region is immune from punishment if they attempt to step outside the drawn lines or adopt positions supportive of the Palestinians.

Qatar, which hosts major U.S. military bases and is an economic and diplomatic partner of Washington, discovered that this does not provide it with a protective umbrella if its policies conflict with the shared American-Israeli vision.

This bombing could not have happened without a direct green light from Trump, who sees igniting fires in the region as serving his strategic goals.

At the same time, the U.S. interior was shaken by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the young man who represented a rising voice for the new generation of conservatives.

The sniper's bullet that pierced his neck in front of his audience at Utah Valley University was not an isolated incident, but a reflection of the climate of incitement and division that Trump himself fuels.

The irony is that the president rushed to exploit Kirk's blood, announcing from within the Pentagon that he would award him the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" posthumously, in a scene that uses blood to cement his image as an indispensable leader.

Bringing these two events under the umbrella of Trump's policy is not contrived.

The man who encouraged the militarization of foreign policy is the same one who fueled internal division and made violence a legitimate tool for achieving goals.

The bombing of Qatar sends a message abroad that Washington will punish any party that dares to show solidarity with Palestine, even if it is an ally.

The assassination of Kirk sends a message domestically that the conflict between the right and the left will not stop at the boundaries of debates, but may reach bloodshed in public squares.

Trump does not see blood as a catastrophe, but as an opportunity.

Abroad, Arab blood justifies further intervention and domination, while at home, the blood of conservatives is used to rally electoral bases and solidify the image of a president who does not yield to "liberal anarchists."

With this logic, Trump becomes the real link between the bombing of Qatar and the assassination of Kirk, as he created the environment that produced both crimes, and he is the one who directly benefited from them politically.

The most dangerous message here is that the world is facing an American president who does not hesitate to employ tools of killing, whether through planes and missiles in the Middle East, or through inciting rhetoric that ignites violence in American universities.

As for the Arabs, the bombing of Qatar places them all before the shocking truth: no protection from Washington, and no immunity through alliances.

Israel strikes wherever it wants with a green light from the White House, while the Arab world is content with statements.

And in America itself, where democracy is supposed to be a model, a young man in the prime of his life falls to a political bullet, while the president applauds the scene and turns it into an electoral badge of honor.

We are facing a dangerous pivotal moment: Trump, with his policies, links the blood in the Gulf to the blood in Utah.

If the world does not recognize the seriousness of this phase, the coming events will be more violent, whether in the Arab region, which may witness more capitals under bombardment, or in the American interior, which may slip into widespread political violence.

Trump today is not just a president, but a bloody project that transcends borders, employing killing as a tool of governance.

From Qatar to Utah, and from Gaza to American universities, the scenes are similar: blood flows, and an arrogant discourse declares that the "strong president" alone holds the keys to stability or chaos.

The leader of Hamas, Osama Hamdan, stated that the Israeli occupation's attempt to assassinate the movement's negotiating delegation in Doha is a "direct gunfire" at President Donald Trump's paper aimed at reaching a ceasefire.

He added in a television interview that "the attempt to assassinate the delegation is direct gunfire at President Trump's paper, so if the Israelis accept it, they should listen to Hamas's response instead of retaliating by bombing Doha and the meeting venue."

Hamdan pointed out that the Israeli position since it refused to respond to the mediators' paper on August 18 was clear in that it was a coup against the negotiation process, aimed at reaching a settlement that stops the aggression on Gaza and leads to the release of prisoners.

He continued, "We are waiting to see what the efforts and communications made by Qatar and Egypt will yield, to see if there are American intentions to pressure Israel for a final ceasefire."

Hamdan also noted that "the diplomatic efforts made by Egypt and Qatar at various stages were close to achieving a breakthrough, but the occupation government was obstructing them either through assassinations or new aggression in Gaza, the latest being the attack on Doha."

He went on to say, "Nevertheless, Qatar and Egypt have demonstrated a high capacity to absorb the shocks of the occupation and move forward, because what is required is to stop the aggression and put an end to the rogue entity that is tampering with the security of the region."

Hamdan stated that "the efforts made by the Qatari Prime Minister (Mohammed bin Abdulrahman) in Washington are important, and we hope the Americans will respond to them."

Last Tuesday, the occupation targeted a residential headquarters for Hamas leaders, resulting in their survival, while martyring Hamam, the son of prominent leader Khalil al-Hayya, and his office manager Jihad Labed, along with three companions, in addition to a Qatari security personnel.

Qatar condemned the Israeli attack, describing it as "state terrorism," affirming its right to respond to this aggression that resulted in the death of a member of the internal security forces.

The attack on Qatar came despite its role as a mediator alongside Egypt, with American participation, in indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel, aimed at reaching an agreement for prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The occupying state estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many of them having died.

Repeatedly, Hamas has confirmed its readiness to release Israeli prisoners "all at once," in exchange for ending the genocide, the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation army from Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners, but Netanyahu, wanted by international justice, evades this by insisting on the continued occupation of Gaza.

The Israeli genocide has left 64,756 martyrs and 164,059 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and famine has claimed the lives of 413 Palestinians, including 143 children, up until Friday.

The three major European countries (E3); Britain, France, and Germany, issued a joint statement condemning the Israeli attack on the negotiating delegation of Hamas in the Qatari capital, Doha.

This came in a joint statement from the foreign ministries of the three countries, in which they expressed their condemnation of the Israeli attack, describing it as a violation of Qatar's sovereignty and likely to increase tensions in the region.

The statement noted that such actions jeopardize the possibility of releasing the remaining prisoners and ending the war in Gaza.

It called on all parties to make urgent new efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement.

The statement emphasized the solidarity of the three countries with Qatar, affirming the vital role it plays in mediation efforts alongside Egypt and the United States.

The three countries also called for an end to Israeli military operations in Gaza, pointing out that they are causing mass displacement of civilians, destroying essential infrastructure, and resulting in other losses.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced that it had launched an airstrike on the Hamas leadership in Doha, which Qatar condemned, asserting its right to respond to this aggression that killed a member of the Qatari internal security forces.

Meanwhile, Hamas announced that its negotiating delegation led by its chief in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt, while the director of his office, Jihad Labed, and his son, Hamam al-Hayya, along with three companions, were killed.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,718 deaths and 163,859 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and famine that has killed 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

The BBC has reprimanded its presenters after they referred to Hamas as a "terrorist group" during a television broadcast on June 15. The BBC's editorial guidelines state: "The term (terrorist) is only used with attribution, that is, when quoting or citing its use by others."

The corporation's editorial complaints unit stated in a message on its website that the unnamed broadcaster deviated from the BBC's editorial policy by using this description, and emphasized that the organization does not label any group as "terrorist" or "terrorist group," in adherence to "accuracy and impartiality."

The BBC confirmed that if it adopted the language of the British government, it could be seen as an arm of the state, which would undermine its efforts to provide neutral reporting on the crisis in Gaza.

The Israeli occupation forces continue their intensive bombardment of residential buildings and homes that shelter thousands of citizens in the western areas of Gaza City, including displaced persons who fled from neighborhoods in the east and north of the city after large residential blocks were destroyed there.

Correspondents reported that the occupation forces bombed Abu Aasi School in the Beach Camp, the Al-Waha and Mahna buildings in the Nasr area, the Aisha building and the home of the Abu Dan family, the home of the Balha family near the Zaharna building, the home of the Barakat family in the Nasr area, and houses around the Al-Karama Towers and near the Al-Jalaa intersection, as well as the Abu Rassas building.

The occupation aircraft also bombed a house next to Al-Karama Hospital in Gaza City, completely destroying it, and also destroyed the prayer hall of the White Mosque in the Beach Park west of Gaza City.

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, and Britain issued a joint statement condemning the Israeli occupation's attacks targeting the Qatari capital, Doha, warning that they herald further escalation in the region.

The statement affirmed that the occupation's attacks on Qatar pose a serious threat to the chances of reaching a negotiated agreement, expressing their solidarity with Qatar and support for its vital role in mediating between Tel Aviv and Hamas.

The ministers emphasized in their statement the necessity of maintaining focus on achieving a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, underscoring the importance of delivering sufficient humanitarian aid to halt the famine in the sector.

The statement also urgently called for the immediate cessation of occupation operations in the city of Gaza, demanding that the United Nations be enabled to operate safely throughout the Gaza Strip.

"You are hungry, therefore you are a target," this is the slogan of the Israeli army and the mercenaries operating in aid distribution areas in the Gaza Strip, according to the French website Mediapart.

The French site - in a detailed report by Gwenaëlle Lunoir - gathered testimonies from several Gazans who spoke bitterly about the details of sniping victims searching for food, those who are forced to go to death points in search of something to quench their children's hunger, heading to distribution points knowing they may not return alive.

The site reported that among the victims was a young man named Youssef (22 years old), who went with his friend one day to one of the death points, hoping they might get a bag of flour or a box of pasta.

When he arrived at the scene, known as number 3, or Tina Rafah, he found it crowded with groups, and then heavy gunfire began from nearby tanks and drones, forcing them and others to hide and flee from the bullets. They got separated on the way, but Ahmed returned to his tent while Youssef lost his life.

Blood-stained bread According to Mediapart, center 3, Tina Rafah, is located in the red zone, also known as the active military area, according to Israeli classification, and is situated along a corridor adjacent to Khan Younis, established by the Israeli army and under its full control.

Mediapart also reported on the killing of Palestine's Pele, player Suleiman Al-Obaid, who was killed in the same place.

It quoted his close friend Mustafa, stating that it was not the first time Palestine's Pele had gone to center 3, as his concern was to silence the hunger of his five children. His wife had asked him not to go to center 3 this time, but he refused.

Mustafa continued that Suleiman left with his brother and his nephew before dawn, but later his family was informed that he had been injured, just to lessen the horror of the tragedy, as he had already been killed by gunfire from an Israeli drone.

One of his cousins was also killed, while his brother was injured in the neck but survived certain death.

The head of nursing activities at Médecins Sans Frontières reported in her July report - as Mediapart follows - that she sees "the roads crowded with people, I hear screams and shouts, I see people on carts carrying bags of food, and then the injured start to arrive, almost at the same time."

The chaos of killing The site clarifies that killing or injury while going to get food has become a normal occurrence "for chaos is absolutely required, and everything is orchestrated to provoke this chaos," as analyzed by a humanitarian worker familiar with the Gaza Strip.

The site continues that aid distribution centers open on average for 20 minutes a day, completely randomly, during which random gunfire is directed at civilian populations by Israeli soldiers or mercenaries who are said to be protecting those centers.

"Who is responsible for these massacres?" Mediapart asks, explaining that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation denies any involvement, but two former guards testified otherwise, one anonymously before the BBC, and the other openly before France 24. Whenever the Israeli army is questioned, it points out that it is investigating the "incident."

The report highlights that according to information collected and verified by the United Nations, more than two thousand people were killed while searching for assistance, primarily occurring near the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation centers, as well as near the Zikim crossing.

The writer states that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a mysterious American-Israeli organization that appeared out of nowhere, lacking any known experience in the humanitarian field, and is secretive about its funds and sources. All that is known about it is that it contradicts all humanitarian norms related to independence, transparency, and fairness.

It also allowed Tel Aviv and Washington to break the traditional circles of aid distribution, which have proven effective over decades, where close cooperation between UN agencies and international and local NGOs allowed for aid distribution as close as possible to the population, with about 400 points distributed across the territory, Mediapart confirms.

It adds that the Israeli government has long sought to gain complete control over humanitarian aid, thus accusing Hamas of seizing aid shipments, a charge rejected by dozens of officials in the UN and humanitarian organizations, as well as previously rejected by a report from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), "but it doesn't matter, as usual, this excuse was enough for Washington to support the Israeli plan," the writer clarifies in her report for Mediapart.

The Maghreb Resistance Fleet announced on Friday that there are 23 ships ready to sail from Tunisia to the Gaza Strip to break the blockade, noting that there are obstacles preventing their departure.

This was stated at a press conference by Ghassan Al-Henchiri, a member of the steering committee of the Maghreb Resistance Fleet, at the port of Sidi Bou Said, north of Tunisia.

Al-Henchiri said: "We have 23 ships ready to sail and we have received facilitation from the authorities regarding the entry of ships coming from Spain to Tunisia."

The United Nations General Assembly adopted the "New York Declaration" on Friday, aimed at giving a new impetus to the two-state solution in the Palestinian conflict with the occupying entity, explicitly excluding Hamas.

The adoption of the declaration, which is considered the fruit of an international conference organized by Saudi Arabia and France, was approved by a sweeping majority of 142 votes in favor, while 10 countries voted against it, and 12 countries abstained from voting.

The countries that opposed the declaration and abstained from voting included the following: the United States | the occupying entity | Argentina | Hungary | Paraguay | Nauru | Micronesia | Palau | Papua New Guinea | Tonga.

As for the countries that abstained from voting, they included: the Czech Republic | Cameroon | the Democratic Republic of the Congo | Ecuador | Ethiopia | Albania | Fiji | Guatemala | Samoa | North Macedonia | Moldova | South Sudan.

The adoption of this text by the General Assembly comes 10 days before the summit to be chaired by Riyadh and Paris on September 22 at the United Nations, during which France and other Western countries pledged to recognize the State of Palestine.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated that his country intends to increase pressure on the Israeli government to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, expressing hope that some EU countries will change their stance against punishing Israel.

Barrot declared in an interview with France Inter radio today, Friday, that "what is happening in Gaza with famine and what is happening in the West Bank with settlement and financial blockade of the Palestinian Authority is all unacceptable. We must increase pressure on the Israeli government."

The French minister confirmed that the establishment of a Palestinian state is "the only solution" for achieving peace and stability in the region, as "the only alternative is a state of perpetual war."

Barrot noted that the European Union has been unable to impose sanctions on Israel due to a lack of consensus, but he believes that this may change.

He said that "the President of the European Commission expressed - for the first time in her speech before the European Parliament on Wednesday - openness to sanctioning some Israeli officials and reconsidering some trade aspects of the partnership agreement between the EU and Israel."

At the same time, the French minister called for the condemnation of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), as the United Nations General Assembly votes today, Friday, on the "New York Declaration," which aims to revive the two-state solution and explicitly states the exclusion of Hamas from governance in the Gaza Strip.

Since October 2023, Israel - with American support - has been waging a genocidal war 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 genocide has resulted in more than 64,000 martyrs and 163,000 injured, with 411 Palestinians, including 142 children, dying from starvation, according to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported on Friday that a security meeting chaired by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, dedicated to discussing plans related to the occupation of the city of Gaza, has concluded.

The official spokesperson stated that the security meeting, attended by ministers and security and military leaders, lasted for nearly 5 hours. The authority did not mention the outcomes of the security meeting or provide further details about it.

This meeting comes in the wake of rising internal and external criticisms following Netanyahu's announcement of his government's intention to occupy the city of Gaza, a move that opponents in Israel have deemed a "reckless adventure" that could endanger the lives of soldiers without achieving clear political gains.

Earlier on Friday, families of prisoners held in Gaza accused Netanyahu of obstructing a comprehensive deal that would have led to the release of all detainees in the sector.

On September 3, the Israeli army launched an aggression named "Gideon's Chariots 2" to fully occupy the city of Gaza (north), which sparked criticism and protests in Israel, fearing for the lives of the prisoners and soldiers.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are held in its prisons, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many reported dead, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Repeatedly, Hamas has confirmed its readiness to release Israeli prisoners "in one batch" in exchange for ending the genocide, withdrawing the Israeli army from Gaza, and releasing Palestinian prisoners, but Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, evades this by insisting on the continued occupation of Gaza.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,756 dead and 164,059 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 413 Palestinians, including 143 children, as of Friday.

The United Nations General Assembly voted today, Friday, on a declaration that outlines "concrete, time-bound, and irreversible steps" towards a two-state solution between the Israeli occupying state and the Palestinians, ahead of a meeting of world leaders, with a significant majority.

The New York Declaration was adopted by the General Assembly regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state with 142 votes in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstentions, where a significant majority acknowledged a declaration that specifies concrete, time-bound, and irreversible steps towards a two-state solution between the Israeli occupation and the Palestinians.

The seven-page declaration came as a result of an international conference that was held at the United Nations last July, hosted by Saudi Arabia and France regarding the decades-long conflict.

Both the United States and the Israeli occupying state boycotted this conference.

In the same context, the United Nations General Assembly's declaration condemned the ongoing aggression of the Israeli occupation against all civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip, the civilian infrastructure, the blockade, and starvation, and called for an immediate end to the Gaza war.

It is noteworthy that on the 707th day of the genocidal war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation continued its intensive bombardment of the entire besieged strip, resulting in new massacres.

Several sources at Al-Shifa Hospital reported the martyrdom of 14 Palestinians in an Israeli airstrike on a house in the Al-Touam area north of Gaza City, just this Friday morning.

Several sources in Gaza hospitals reported that nearly 50 Palestinians have been martyred by the occupation's fire since dawn today, including 37 in Gaza City and northern Gaza.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the toll of the Israeli occupation's aggression has risen to 64,756 martyrs and 164,059 injured since October 7, 2023.

It continued that the total number of martyrs from the struggle for livelihood who reached hospitals is 2,479 martyrs and more than 18,091 injured, while the number of martyrs from starvation has reached nearly 413, including 143 children.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced in its daily statistical report an increase in the number of dead and injured due to the ongoing aggression, with more victims being counted over the past twenty-four hours.

According to the report, 38 dead arrived at the sector's hospitals in the past 24 hours, including two dead whose bodies were retrieved from under the rubble, in addition to recording 200 new injuries.

The total toll of the aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 64,756 dead and 164,059 injuries.

The government media office in Gaza stated that more than one million Palestinians, including over a third of a million children, are still residing in the city of Gaza and its northern areas, refusing to evacuate to the south of the Strip.

The government office clarified that the Palestinians' refusal to evacuate to the south comes despite the ongoing brutal aggression and genocide being carried out by the Israeli occupation.

It confirmed that this aggression aims to impose the crime of forced displacement, noting that the Israeli occupation has previously asserted that this time, the displacement would be without return to the city of Gaza and its northern areas, permanently.

The spokesperson for the Israeli occupation army announced that the army completed five waves of airstrikes on the city of Gaza this week.

According to the spokesperson, these airstrikes targeted more than 500 sites as part of the next phase of Operation "Gideon's Chariots 2".

Two Israelis were injured, one of whom was described as having moderate to serious wounds, in a stabbing attack carried out by a Palestinian youth inside a hotel in the Jerusalem area today, Friday. The Palestinian resistance praised the act as a natural response to the crimes of the occupation.

The occupation police stated in a statement that they arrested the perpetrator of the attack, a young man from the Shuafat refugee camp north of Jerusalem, and Israeli media reported the arrest of others suspected of assisting the attacker.

The occupation deployed a large number of border guard forces to the scene of the attack, which comes in the wake of a shooting incident carried out by two Palestinian youths inside a central bus station north of Jerusalem last Monday, resulting in the deaths of 6 Israelis and injuries to others.

For its part, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) stated in a statement that "the heroic stabbing operation carried out by one of the heroes of Palestine in the city of Jerusalem this Friday afternoon is a natural response to the crimes of the terrorist enemy and its settler hordes, and constitutes a new blow to the security apparatus of the occupation and its illusions of stopping the rooted resistance in the hearts of our people."

The statement added that "the ongoing operations carried out by the rebellious youth of Palestine against the criminal occupation soldiers come in the context of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, and the extended crimes of the enemy that have affected our brotherly Arab countries, the latest of which was the targeting of the negotiating movement delegation in the Qatari capital, Doha."

Hamas affirmed that the option of confrontation with the occupier "is the natural response to its crimes and brutal massacres in the Gaza Strip and the attacks of fascist settlers in the cities and villages of the West Bank and Jerusalem, and its desperate attempts to impose annexation and displacement."

Meanwhile, the occupation army continued its retaliatory measures following the shooting incident in Jerusalem last Monday, as sources reported that Israeli forces stormed the towns of Qatna and Qabiba northwest of Jerusalem and raided the homes of the attackers who were martyred following the assault.

The Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, Eyal Zamir, stated that it is impossible to "defeat" Hamas without a political plan for the future of the Gaza Strip after the war, saying that "victory is unlikely without a political plan."

The newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported that "hundreds of tanks and armored personnel carriers belonging to the Israeli army are gathering near Gaza in preparation for Operation Gideon 2, aimed at demonstrating power, pressuring Hamas, and reassuring Israelis."

It emphasized that "in addition to the danger threatening the hostages (Israeli captives) in Gaza City, in recent discussions, Zamir repeatedly stressed the principle of safety over speed to avoid falling into Hamas traps in alleys and tunnels."

It added that "what frustrates Zamir the most, according to attendees, is the hesitation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich in making a long-term decision that is supposed to begin to take shape by the end of the operation."

In reference to the day after the war, the newspaper said: "Without such a decision, this maneuver is expected to end like its predecessor, with the soldiers' gains fading day by day as Hamas reorganizes."

It considered that "the Israeli army will implement any political decision, no matter how controversial: whether it is an Israeli military rule over two million Palestinians in Gaza, or an administration led by Arabs under American sponsorship, or a gradual transfer of areas to the Palestinian Authority after the Israeli army eliminates Hamas."

The newspaper continued: "Other proposals have already failed, such as arming Gaza clans or encouraging migration."

It revealed that "in recent days, soldiers at the Tsalim base (southern Israel) have been training on new combat methods such as destroying buildings without entering them, avoiding immediate exposure during ambushes, and advancing through the rubble that Hamas fighters use as cover."

The newspaper stated: "The Chief of Staff nearly pleaded with the political leadership: decide what to do with Gaza, sending soldiers repeatedly to the same neighborhoods for circular fighting and then blaming the army and its leaders for failing to defeat Hamas will not achieve victory nor will it bring back the hostages."

It added: "Almost all brigade and battalion leaders fighting in Gaza believe that the Israeli army will have to continue ground operations against Hamas in the coming years to deepen and maintain its gains, and the question is whether Netanyahu will provide the missing strategic decision."

On September 3, the occupying army launched an aggression named "Gideon 2" to completely occupy Gaza City (north), which sparked criticism and protests in Israel, fearing for the lives of the captives and soldiers.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 48 Israeli captives in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, many of whom have died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Repeatedly, Hamas has confirmed its readiness to release Israeli captives "in one batch" in exchange for ending the genocide, the withdrawal of the Israeli army from Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners, but Netanyahu, wanted by international justice, evades by insisting on the continued occupation of Gaza.

Since October 7, 2023, "Israel," with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,718 martyrs and 163,859 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, with famine killing 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

Five French researchers canceled their participation in an academic seminar on the history of Jews in France, titled "Jewish Histories of Paris" (Medieval and Modern), scheduled for September 15 and 16 at the Museum of Art and Jewish History in Paris, citing the ongoing war in Gaza and the funding of an Israeli PhD student, which sparked widespread controversy in French cultural and academic circles.

The Museum of Art and Jewish History (Mahj) announced on Thursday that the researchers justified their decision due to the connection of a research program affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to the funding of a PhD student's participation, expressing their discontent with any form of support for the Israeli government.

The museum clarified that some researchers viewed their participation as "support for the Israeli government," while others merely referenced the war in Gaza to challenge the conditions of organizing the seminar.

The museum confirmed that despite the boycott, it would continue to hold the seminar after reformatting it, noting that this step "unreasonably harms the Israeli academic community, which includes prominent opponents of the war in Gaza," and emphasizing that the decision conflated academic research with political officials.

French Culture Minister Rachida Dati expressed her discontent with the boycott, considering that these repeated calls "have turned into an excuse for overt anti-Semitism," adding in a post on X platform: "It is no longer a matter of opinion, but a matter of justice and criminal policy."

For his part, Yonatan Arfi, president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France (Crif), described the boycott as behavior deserving of sanctions, explaining that this phenomenon reflects "cultural hegemony based on obsession and hatred towards Israel."

The International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism condemned this step, considering it "undermines the principle of scientific research by questioning its independence."

Ariel Goldman, president of the French Jewish Foundation, pointed out that linking participation in the seminar to the conflict in Gaza represents "a dangerous conflation of irrelevant facts that undermines academic freedom."

The number of Jews in France is estimated to be between 438,000 and 550,000, according to a definition that includes those who identify as Jews without adopting another religion, or those with Jewish parents without adopting a different religious identity.

France ranks third globally after Israel and the United States in terms of the Jewish population, and it is the largest in Europe compared to any other European country, according to a report by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR).

Channel 12 reported on Friday that the security establishment in Israel presented the government with a plan to relocate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip starting in October, and that this will be a central topic in discussions with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to Tel Aviv next week.

The private channel added that "migration from Gaza will be a central topic in the discussions with the U.S. Secretary of State in Israel next week."

Rubio is set to arrive in Israel at the beginning of the week to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials, and to participate in the opening of a tunnel in the town of Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem.

The channel further stated: "The voluntary migration plan from Gaza is an initiative from U.S. President Donald Trump, which has received significant public support from Prime Minister Netanyahu; however, the government is practically very skeptical about the feasibility of this step."

It continued: "The security establishment presented a plan on Thursday that allows Gaza residents (Palestinians) to leave the strip (relocation) starting next month (October 2025), by air and sea."

It noted that "next week, the U.S. Secretary of State will arrive in Israel, and one of the main issues to be discussed in meetings with him will be the voluntary migration (relocation)."

Regarding the steps being taken by Tel Aviv to relocate Palestinians, the channel said: "Israel is in talks with several unnamed countries, but so far there is no agreement with any one country."

The channel quoted Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, one of the biggest supporters of the relocation plan, saying in a government meeting: "There is no point in investing a lot of money if the residents of Gaza return within a year, and if there is no significant change in the Gaza Strip, this is unnecessary."

It mentioned that Netanyahu responded by saying: "We will not invest large sums of money, but we will make progress with the countries interested in absorbing them."

Meanwhile, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said during the same meeting: "Relocating the Palestinians is the most important thing we are dealing with now, and we must do it as soon as possible to make it happen from now on."

The Israeli channel did not clarify the day on which the discussion took place between the ministers and Netanyahu.

According to Channel 12, "there is currently no country with which there is a final agreement, but Israel itself will not invest budgets in this step, indicating a practical decrease in the chances of this step."

Israel has long talked about the relocation of Palestinians under the pretext of "voluntary migration," while making the Gaza Strip an inhospitable environment for its residents in order to implement the relocation plan, through its continued genocide, destruction of all means of life, as well as imposing a blockade and closing crossings, which has led to widespread famine.

Repeatedly, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas have warned against the relocation plan being orchestrated by Israel, while Egypt expressed its rejection of the step after claims from Tel Aviv that it is closing the Rafah crossing to Palestinians, while Cairo confirmed that the crossing is open on its side, but Israel is closing it on the Palestinian side.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,718 dead and 163,859 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and famine that has killed 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

The Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" revealed the spread of serious skin infections among soldiers and guards of the Israeli occupation army in central and southern Gaza Strip.

The Hebrew newspaper did not provide additional details about the nature of these infections or their causes, but it indicated that these cases are concentrated among the occupation forces operating in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army claimed on Friday that it had arrested cells affiliated with the Iranian Quds Force in Syrian territory over the past weeks and months.

It stated in a statement: "As part of a series of special operations carried out on Syrian territory in recent weeks, elements affiliated with the Iranian Quds Force were captured, and the elements were transferred for investigation (into Israel)."

The army alleged that "these cells were directed by Unit 840 of the Quds Force to carry out operations against the State of Israel."

It mentioned that in March and April of last year, "two field operatives affiliated with Unit 840 were arrested on Syrian territory, namely Zaidan Al-Tawil and Muhammad Al-Karyan."

It also claimed that "in the course of the investigations with the arrested individuals, it became clear that some of them did not know who they were working for, and their recruitment to work with Unit 840 often occurred without revealing the true motives of the unit, and through financial bribery."

In this context, it added that "Unit 840 is responsible for developing and directing operations against Israelis both domestically and abroad."

As of 8:30 (UTC), there had been no comment from Damascus or Tehran regarding the occupation's claims, which contradict the withdrawal of all Iranian military formations from Syria prior to the flight of the ousted president Bashar al-Assad and the fall of his regime in late 2024.

Since that date, Israel has continued its violations against Syrian sovereignty, announcing the collapse of the separation of forces agreement signed with Damascus in 1974, while the latter confirmed its commitment to the agreement and called for an end to Tel Aviv's violations.

The new Syrian administration, established since December 8, 2024, has not posed any threat to Tel Aviv; nevertheless, the Israeli army has repeatedly infiltrated Syria and conducted airstrikes that killed civilians and destroyed military sites, military vehicles, and weapons and ammunition belonging to the Syrian army.

Israel has occupied most of the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967 and exploited the events surrounding the overthrow of the Assad regime in late 2024 to expand its occupation.

A poll showed that 75 percent of Israelis support the attack launched by Israel on Qatar to target leaders of the 'Hamas' movement. The poll, the results of which were published by the Hebrew newspaper 'Maariv', revealed that 75 percent of Israelis support targeting 'Hamas' leaders in Qatar, compared to only 11 percent who oppose it, and 14 percent who have no specific opinion.

On Tuesday, Israel launched an airstrike on the leadership of the 'Hamas' movement in Doha, and afterward vowed to attack the leaders of the Palestinian movement 'everywhere'. Qatar condemned the Israeli attack, describing it as 'state terrorism', affirming its right to respond to this aggression which resulted in the martyrdom of a member of the internal security forces.

Meanwhile, 'Hamas' announced that its negotiating delegation led by its head in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt, while the director of his office, Jihad Labed, and his son, Hamam al-Hayya, along with three companions, Abdullah Abdul Wahid, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmed Abdul Malik, were martyred.

The governor of Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank, Abdullah Kmeil, announced on Friday that the Israeli army has arrested more than a thousand Palestinians during the expansion of its aggression on the city since yesterday, which includes a tight siege and raids.

Kmeil stated in a statement that "the occupation army is launching an extensive aggression on Tulkarem, accompanied by arbitrary and unjust mass arrests, which on Thursday targeted more than a thousand citizens, storming homes, destroying their contents, and terrorizing children and women."

He emphasized that "what is happening in the city is part of a systematic policy of the occupation, with this aggression continuing since January 27 of last year, which aims to undermine the resilience and will of our Palestinian people."

The governor issued an urgent call to the international community, the United Nations General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, human rights and humanitarian organizations, and all free people of the world, "to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against Tulkarem and its people."

He warned of "the seriousness of these crimes and their humanitarian repercussions," demanding that the international community "should bear its moral and legal responsibilities, work urgently to stop these violations, provide protection for our Palestinian people, and hold the occupation accountable for its crimes."

The Israeli army has imposed a tight siege on Tulkarem for the second day, accompanied by a campaign of arrests and field investigations against dozens of young men after storming their homes and searching them.

This came after two Israeli soldiers were lightly injured when an explosive device targeted a military vehicle in the vicinity of the city.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the soldiers were injured "after a Panther military vehicle passed over an explosive device near the contact line at the Nitzani crossing."

Meanwhile, the Israeli army radio stated that its forces imposed a cordon around the Tulkarem area following the explosion.

The Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported that the Israeli army closed the iron gates at the southern and eastern entrances of Tulkarem, preventing vehicles from passing.

It added that the forces raided commercial shops and cafes in the city center, arresting everyone found inside or in their vehicles, forcing them to walk in long lines towards the street leading to the Khadouri military checkpoint.

The army also seized surveillance camera recordings after storming several shops and deployed more military vehicles and a bulldozer to the city.

In contrast, the "Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades," the military wing of Hamas, in conjunction with the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for detonating a powerful explosive device against an army vehicle near the "Nitzani Oz" checkpoint west of Tulkarem.

At the beginning of this year, the Israeli army began a wide military operation in the northern occupied West Bank, including Tulkarem.

Alongside the genocide war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,020 Palestinians and injured about 7,000 others, in addition to arresting more than 19,000, according to Palestinian data.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,718 dead and 163,859 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and famine that has killed 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

The trial of Ryan Roth, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida in 2024, began yesterday, Thursday, two months before the presidential elections, after a jury was selected over three days.

Judge Aileen Cannon allowed Ryan Roth (59 years old) in July to represent himself without a lawyer. Roth pleaded not guilty to five charges, including the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, which could carry a life sentence, and his trial is expected to last between two to four weeks.

Roth also faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm due to his criminal record, possession of a firearm with an unclear serial number, possession of a firearm for the purpose of committing a violent crime, and assaulting a federal agent.

American media reported that the judge interrupted his opening statement, in which he addressed the history of humanity and global conflicts, just minutes into it. Roth also faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm due to his criminal record.

After 45 minutes of prosecution arguments, the judge asked Roth to respect the 'dignity of the court,' but he continued in the same manner, prompting Cannon to announce to the jury—consisting of 12 people—the end of the opening statements and requested the prosecution to call the first witness.

Roth's trial comes at a time of increasing concern about political violence in the United States, following the killing of activist Charlie Kirk during an event in Utah, western United States.

On September 15, 2024, agents from the Secret Service, responsible for protecting high-profile American political figures, spotted Roth carrying a weapon near the golf course where Trump was present, and he was subsequently arrested.

This was the second time Trump faced an assassination attempt, having survived another one on July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
