In September 2005, Israel made a big mistake in completely withdrawing from the Gaza Strip to the 1967 Green Line. In June 2007, Hamas took over leadership of the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority is aligned with Hamas in its mission to kill Jews and ultimately annihilate the State of Israel. […]
Arab League invites jihadist Syrian leader to Cairo for Egypt-led summit on Gaza
Under Syria’s former President Bashar al-Assad, Syria was suspended from the Arab League in 2011, but now that the al-Qaeda linked jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Julani (aka Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa) is president, Syria is now in good graces with the Arab League. Al-Sharaa was put there by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Jerusalem Center for […]
How Trump Can Get the Egyptians’ Attention, and Why He Should
The Israelis have until now focused almost all of their attention away from Egypt. The IDF has had quite enough to occupy itself with in recent years: Hamas terrorists in Gaza, Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, the Houthi terrorists in Yemen — all three launching missiles and rockets at Israel. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists […]
Egypt’s Arms Buildup and its Bases in the Sinai
Ever since the 1979 Camp David Accords, Israel and Egypt have officially been at peace. As a result of those accords, Israel agreed to return to Egypt, for the second time (the first time was in 1957, after the Sinai Campaign) the entire Sinai, together with several oilfields Israel had discovered and several airbases it […]
What Do Young Gazans Want?
Hamas has angrily rejected Trump’s proposal to move the Gazans out of the Strip, while what he accurately calls a “demolition site” full of rubble can be cleared away. The Palestinian Authority, with slightly less venom, has done the same. Trump had suggested that the Gazans could be resettled in both Egypt and Jordan, but […]
Israel’s UN Ambassador: Why Does Egypt Need All Those Weapons?
Danny Danon is Israel’s ambassador to the UN. He’s not as suave as such eloquent predecessors as Abba Eban and Chaim Herzog. He’s pugnacious. But at times like this, Israel needs someone pugnacious to punch back at the kangaroo court of the UN General Assembly, with Israel permanently in the dock. Danon has just given […]
‘Experts’ warn: Trump’s Gaza ‘displacement’ plan to Egypt and Jordan ‘could ignite regional instability’
It’s rather peculiar how “experts” proclaim that instability will ensue if Muslims settle in the lands of other Muslims, but those same “experts” would likely be silent over the invasion of unvetted Muslim migrants into the West. These “experts” would also be silent about the resettling of Palestinians into Western countries who stand by the “resistance” […]
Trump freezes foreign aid except to Israel and Egypt
Charity begins at home. The America First mandate that helped Trump get re-elected is based on that premise. Every politician is responsible for putting his or her citizens first, but for most, that isn’t the case. America also needs to assess any misuse of its funds across the board by state actors that work contrary […]
Egypt: Muslim slits throat of UK tourist in supermarket
“My son was in a supermarket, shopping for something to eat and a criminal came, and without any motive, stabbed my son in the neck.” How’s this for a motive? “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Many Muslims also frown on tourism. Many Muslims believe that the ruins and destruction of […]
Egypt Removes Antisemitic Passages From Its Textbooks
Little by little, school year by school year, Egypt has been removing antisemitic passages from its textbooks. Amidst so much unfair criticism of Israel from Egypt both about how the IDF is conducting the war in Gaza, and about Israel’s temporary occupation of the Syrian side of the Golan, some good news about Egypt comes […]
