The scathing comments about Ambassador Mike Huckabee came from Mahmoud Al-Habbash, who is not only Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations, but also the Palestinian Authority’s top Sharia judge. Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are the most vocal of all Israeli politicians about the PA being terrorists. Lefists refer to them as […]
Israel receives “global backlash” from EU over expansion of control in Judea and Samaria
Following the lead of eight Muslim countries which condemned Israel’s expansion in Judea and Samaria, and what they termed “illegal control measures,” EU spokesperson Anouar El Anouni joined in the gang-up against the Jewish state on behalf of the EU. “A step in the wrong direction’: Israel’s West Bank plans prompt global backlash,” by Julian Borger, […]
Eight Muslim countries condemn Israel’s expansion in Judea and Samaria, and ‘illegal control measures’
The countries that condemn Israel for expanding its control in Judea and Samaria are Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey. The Palestinian cause is the central cause to the Muslim ummah (to which, of course, all these nations belong), as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has declared. Every OIC […]
Bezalel Smotrich: Hamas Fighters Inside the Yellow Line Must Not Be Allowed to Go Free
When Israel withdrew behind the Yellow Line it drew in Gaza, it made clear that all Hamas fighters were to pull out from that half of Gaza. If they remained, that meant they were intent on continuing to fight, largely by hiding in their tunnels and emerging to ambush IDF soldiers. Any who stayed would […]
Bezalel Smotrich, Unrepentant, Takes On Saudi Arabia Again
Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich recently dismissed the need to “normalize relations” with Saudi Arabia, saying that if the price of that normalization was for Israel to accept a “Palestinian state,” then Israel should reject it, saying: “If Saudi Arabia tells us ‘normalization in exchange for a Palestinian state,’ friends — no thank you. Keep […]
Netanyahu Drops Judea and Samaria Annexation from Agenda Due to Pressure from UAE
Although Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel has no territorial claims against its Arab neighbors, the truth is that Judea and Samaria are hotbeds of jihad terror. Israel’s enemies repeatedly call Israel an occupier of Judea, despite the fact that the Jewish people are indigenous to the land. The jihad against Israel has […]
Britain sanctions Israeli ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich over Gaza comments
The UK Labour Government has violated the rights of its own people, and continues to flout the UK’s own immigration laws by allowing a flood of unvetted migration to enter the country via the English Channel, yet it is nitpicking about the words of Israeli government ministers. The UK government (joined by the leftist governments […]
Israel’s finance minister Smotrich opposes arming Gazan jihadist militias against Hamas
If someone’s house is under attack and their family members are facing an ongoing risk of being slaughtered after many were murdered in previous attacks, it becomes an urgent matter to destroy the immediate threat by whatever means possible. Nonetheless, Smotrich is correct in his rejection of the use of jihadist militias to fight Hamas, […]
Determined to Forget the Palestine Mandate, EU Condemns Israel for Five New Settlements
You have to keep rubbing your eyes in disbelief — how is it that so much of the world thinks it can get away with ignoring the Mandate for Palestine? For that is the birth certificate of modern Israel. That mandate was one of several created in 1921-1922 by the League of Nations, in its […]
US Treasury Secretary Yellen vows to stop Israel from cutting off PA banks from financial system
Biden and his cronies do not treat Israel as a sovereign nation. The Biden administration’s anti-Israel provocations and continuous meddling are beyond the pale. Smotrich’s plan regarding the Palestinian Authority banks is rooted in opposing the Palestinian Authority’s push for unilateral statehood and its legal campaign against Israel. The PA also aims to annihilate Israel […]
