Israel’s prime minister is to meet top officials to prepare for a possible attack by Iran, local media say.
Tensions are high over the possibility that Tehran will retaliate for an air strike that killed senior Iranian commanders nearly two weeks ago.
Several countries have now warned their citizens about travelling in both countries.
US officials have told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, that a major attack on Israel could happen imminently.
Israel is braced for a potentially major escalation in its conflict with Iran after a US intelligence assessment warned that Tehran could in the coming days order a strike on military and government targets inside the country.
Israeli ministers have vowed that if Tehran takes direct military action then they will respond with their own strikes on Iranian territory, opening the door to a full-scale regional war in the Middle East.
Iran has always been a cautious, calculating regime which has long sought to avoid direct, open conflict with Israel and instead relies on a network of proxies based in southern Lebanon and Syria to harass the country with sporadic rocket and drone attacks.
The UK Statistics Authority has been urged to review the Palestinian Casualty figures in the Gaza War after several analyses indicated that the figures have been fabricated.
UKLFI Charitable Trust (“UKLFI CT”) has written to Sir Robert Chote, Chair of the UK Statistics Authority, inviting it to assess the quality of the Palestinian casualty statistics. These statistics are produced by the Hamas controlled Ministry of Health, and then circulated by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) as well as other UN bodies.
“Our commitment to Israel’s security against these threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad,” Presidentish Joe Biden said at a joint press conference Wednesday with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “Let me say it again: ironclad.”
Not sure I trust the words of “Biden of Kabul”.
A Moroccan asylum seeker told police he knifed a pensioner to death in the street and stabbed a Christian convert out of “revenge” for Israel killing children in the Palestinian conflict, a court heard.
Alid Ahmed’s actions, the week after the Hamas attacks, were motivated by “the conflict in Gaza and to further his desire that Palestine would be free from the Zionists”, Teesside Crown Court was told.
Hamas has told negotiators it does not have 40 Israeli hostages that it can release as part of a temporary cease-fire deal with Israel, a source familiar with the talks confirmed to The Hill.
The admission raises questions over how many of the remaining hostages kidnapped Oct. 7 are alive and who is holding them. Israel says 133 hostages out of more than 240 abducted that day — mostly Israelis and dual nationals — have yet to be released.
Then roll into Rafeh without a concern for what old Joe and the rest of ’em think.
The pullout of the vast majority of the IDF’s troops from Gaza in recent days has raised questions about whether Israel’s military campaign is ending with a whimper.
Amid pressure from its most important ally and weapon supplier, the US, the operation in Rafah — where Hamas’s remaining battalions are located — has not yet begun. But based on the remarks made by Israel’s top generals and politicians, it appears as though it will go ahead. After IDF troops left Khan Younis on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared: “We are but a step away from victory.”
Biden needs Michigan, desperately, and so he will do anything to satisfy Tlaib and her flock. For this man with no honor, no decency, all that counts is winning, whatever the cost.
Maybe all you need to know is that Dearborn was the birthplace of Henry Ford. This was where he maintained his home and business.
He was the most flagrant antisemite in American history. Throughout the 1930s. Nazi Towns sprung up across the. United States. You didn’t know? It is a fact.
Dearborn was one of those towns that marched for Hitler and hoisted the swastika.
Once upon a time, Jews in Toronto could expect only one public antisemitic hate-fest every year when enemies of Israel would gather downtown to mark the annual Al-Quds Day. How almost strangely quaint that now seems in view of today’s reality.
For Jews in 2024, amid a staggering rise in antisemitism, almost every day is starting to feel like Al-Quds Day, given the increasingly frequent and toxic anti-Israel and anti-Jewish incitement playing out on the streets and university campuses of Canada’s major cities.
It will not get better.
It would be hard to imagine that almost exactly six months after October 7, I would find myself saying this, but Israel is either on a path to defeat or has lost the war already.
The way in which the Jewish state – the regional military superpower, enjoying huge military support from the global superpower – is being forced to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is a cautionary tale for the West. It is often correctly said that Israel is on the frontline of the struggle against jihadism. Well, pay attention: the collapse of Israel’s campaign in Gaza, which after the October atrocities was the most justified imaginable, is a harbinger of what may lie ahead.
As the Israel Defense Forces fight Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, the Iranian regime continues to foment violence in Judea and Samaria by flooding the territory with weapons, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing officials in Washington, Jerusalem and Tehran.
Judea and Samaria saw a dramatic rise in terrorist attacks in 2023 compared to the previous year, with shootings reaching the highest level since the Second Intifada of 2000-05, according to Israeli military data.
US President Joe Biden blasted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “mistaken” Gaza policies as he called for a six to eight-week pause to the war in an interview he gave to the American-based Spanish language news station Univision Noticias.
Biden was asked if he thought that Netanyahu cared more for his own political survival than the Israeli people.
“I will tell you this. I think what he’s doing is a mistake. I don’t agree,” Biden said.
Mayor Olivia Chow says she won’t condemn six councillors who criticized the Toronto Police Service’s handling of a recent pro-Hamas rally. Neither will the six councillors who signed the letter answer questions put to them by The Toronto Sun, detailing the links between the groups organizing the protests and support for terrorism.
A Hamilton public school board trustee says she’s banned from participating in private board and committee meetings after refusing to delete a November social media post about being under investigation for other social media posts in support of Palestinians.
Sabreina Dahab, Ward 2 trustee for the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB), posted to X on Monday morning with the update, saying she is appealing her ban.
This is the crap she’s currently posting, outright false accusations of war crimes.
It was a great idea to invite Satan to settle here.
