The lone wolf has become the most dangerous threat to Israel’s occupation
What will the occupation state of Israel, with all its strength and might, do when facing a lone wolf Palestinian resistance fighter? When a lone wolf decides to attack on the spur of the moment? Israel can’t obtain advance intelligence about such an attack, or impose preventive measures. In...

Will a civil war break out in Israel?
Senior Israeli figures have warned recently of the possibility of a civil war, or what they call a “fratricidal war” between Jews. The catalyst for this is believed to be the growing strength of the extreme religious right-wing led by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich, Avi Maoz and the political...

Freeing prisoners is a collective and daily responsibility
The duty of releasing and freeing the oppressed Palestinian prisoners detained in the Occupation prisons is not limited to the executive level of the Palestinian Resistance, as the level that is most willing and ready to do so. Rather, it goes beyond this level to two other levels, which...

Does an Israeli official’s resignation reveal anything about a prisoner exchange?
According to Yedioth Ahronoth correspondent Itamar Eichner, analysts in Israel suggest that the occupation state’s Coordinator for Captives and the Missing, Yaron Blum, retired from his job because he wasn’t making progress in contact with Hamas. Eichner added that there was also tension between him and the family of...

Will the Ukraine crisis affect the Palestinians?
The US, its European allies and Israel are playing up the idea that war in Ukraine is inevitable if Russia attacks its neighbour. They are clearly preparing the public for such a conflict. It all serves US interests in this phoney psychological war against Russia which may strengthen America’s...

Palestine is still torn between Israel’s brutal occupation, a compliant PA and resistance
The ongoing situation in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967 sees Israeli brutality continuing alongside a high level of security cooperation from the Palestinian Authority while the people of Palestine uphold their right to resist whenever possible. In the Israeli-occupied West Bank this is mainly on an...

Palestinians in Israel are deluded if they vote for Likud
The suffering of the Palestinians within Israel is not limited to the injustice and racism to which they are exposed — such as the Jewish Nation State Law, for example — or to the violence, killing and shootings that the community faces, including the attempted assassination of Dr Suleiman...

A reading of Israel intelligence predictions for 2020
An Iranian nuclear bomb, high possibility of war in the north, and a continued truce with Gaza. These are the predictions of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate known as Aman for the year 2020. They were published last night after being postponed from last Tuesday in an attempt to measure...

The race to annexation
We are witnessing the “annexation of the West Bank and the Jordan Valley” fever and the left in Israel is running to catch up to Israel. This is the meaning of what one of Israel’s senior investigative journalist, Raviv Drucker, revealed in Haaretz yesterday, January 13th, regarding Netanyahu’s real...

Displacement in Gaza and Israel’s demographic obsession
The statements made by a senior Israeli political source, which is likely to be Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, published in Israeli media, including Haaretz on 20 August regarding Israel taking practical steps to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, reminds us of what Israel calls the demographic threat. This...

Israel loses its equilibrium
The decision to dissolve Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, less than a month and a half after the General Election, and hold another election on 17 September, suggests strongly that the country has lost its equilibrium. There may be other reasons for this, but I suspect that it is all...

The Brussels conference set out to whitewash Israel’s policies
The European Union and donor countries held a conference yesterday to discuss a new financial proposal to solve the crisis of Israel deducting or “stealing” about $139 million of the tax revenues collected by the occupation state on the Palestinian Authority’s behalf. This is the amount that the PA...

Palestinian Prisoners and Israeli national security
The attempt by some in Israel to link the escalation on the Gaza border with external factors and Iranian orders was not successful. According to Haaretz newspaper’s military correspondent, Yaniv Kubovich, some security circles in Israel are claiming that the reason for the escalation was the hunger strike organised...

Palestinian prisoners at heart of Israel’s elections
Israeli Public Security Minister, Gilad Erdan, announced a series of escalatory measures that could be described as a declaration of war against prisoners. He recommended that the living conditions of Palestinian prisoners be intensified without any difference between old or young, those who are imprisoned for a month or...

Operation Northern Shield: Israel’s new wars
Israel announced yesterday morning a military and engineering operation, which it dubbed “Operation Northern Shield”, aimed at destroying what it alleges are offensive tunnels belonging to the Lebanese resistance group, Hezbollah, on the border with Lebanon. This operation represents Israel’s new approach to war, which has been Israel’s favourite...
-
Will the intensity of the return marches decline?
The Israeli occupation has made great efforts, especially in recent days, to achieve its goal of weakening the activities of the return marches, taking advantage of what is widely considered a fault within the Palestinian front, i.e. the launching of rockets. The Israeli efforts included a soft war in...

An ideological reading of Lieberman and Bennett’s dispute regarding Gaza
The right-wing, racist Defence Minister of Israel, Avigdor Lieberman, has rejected the accusations of his rival in racism and extremism, Naftali Bennett, that he is following a defeatist – or “leftist” as he put it – policy towards the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Accusations of weakness and a...

The truce in Gaza is between Egypt, Israel and Abbas
Two central players, namely Egypt and Israel, and a third party, President Abu Mazen, are controlling the progress of easing the siege and lifting it from the Palestinian people and their resistance in the Gaza Strip. The first phase of this process has been completed: a ceasefire and stopping...

Why is Israel ignoring the West Bank protests to lift Gaza sanctions?
Despite the “sacred” security coordination between the PA and the Israeli security services, even in suppressing the growing protest movement in the West Bank that is calling for lifting the PA’s unjust sanctions against the Palestinians in Gaza, Israel’s disregard for the protests is obvious. Israel’s officials, spokespeople and...
