Hamas and the other factions must act to stop Abbas destroying the Palestinian cause
The positions of the Palestinian factions, including that of Hamas, do not live up to the seriousness of the situation following the decision by the Mahmoud Abbas-led Palestinian Authority to resume security cooperation with Israel. The PA announced this move at the same time that the factions were meeting in…

Is Israel really interested in a confrontation with resistance groups?
Is Israel really interested in a confrontation with resistance groups? The continuous escalation between the groups and the Zionist entity has the potential for turning into a full blown confrontation. However, eliminating the security risks that the Gaza Strip poses to the occupation state requires Israel to consider a complete…

What lies behind the keen support for a one state solution?
A number of media outlets, some of them linked to the Palestinian Authority, have deliberately played down Israel’s decision to annex areas of the West Bank, and even welcomed the proposal. They claimed that its implementation will lead to a “one-state” solution, which will ultimately allow the Palestinians to rule…

Israel will be controlled by the right wing for the foreseeable future
Last Thursday was a milestone in the history of the Zionist state of Israel. March 26, 2020, will be remembered as the day that the possibility ended of any party not explicitly affiliated with the right-wing ever having the chance to form the Israeli government. Likud leader and Prime Minister…

Hamas’ opportunity
When Khaled Meshaal – head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) – finally acknowledged that its monopolisation of governance in the Gaza Strip was wrong, he failed to specify what, in particular, as been the main flaw in the movement’s behaviour since the 2006 elections. Meshaal…

Sisi is working against Mahmoud Abbas
It is possible to assume that there are real reasons that made Israeli Minister of Infrastructure Yuval Steinitz gloat to the army leadership, security institutions and media elites in Tel Aviv last week after they sharply criticised him for openly admitting, a month ago, that Egypt President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi…

Is Gaza paying the price of the Cypriot-Israeli-Greek alliance?
The Israeli, Cypriot, Greek summit held in Cyprus’s capital city, Nicosia, is another example of how Tel Aviv’s predictions regarding its gas discoveries on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea were realised. Tel Aviv had predicted that its huge gas discoveries in what it claims to be its “economic…

Abu Dhabi office approval shows that Israel ‘is not living in isolation’
In an obvious celebration of the decision, Israeli officials are looking at Abu Dhabi’s approval for the Zionist state to open a representative office in the Emirates as a sign that “it is not living in regional isolation”. Speaking on Saturday’s weekly “Yuman” news programme on Israeli television’s Channel One,…

An Israeli trap for Jordan regarding Al-Aqsa
No one condemned the Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister, Tzipi Hotovely, when she called for the Israeli flag to be raised at the Noble Sanctuary of Al-Aqsa shortly after the announcement of an agreement between Jordan and Israel regarding arrangements for the presence of Muslims and Jews in the compound. This…

Abbas gets ready to drop a bombshell
Mahmoud Abbas has promised to drop a “bombshell” during his speech scheduled for later this month at the UN; his bomb, however, detonated too soon in Tulkarem, only 30 kilometres from Ramallah, instead of New York or Tel Aviv. Abbas made himself into a joke when social networking sites were…

Israel, Iran and Russia meet in Syria
If there is anyone looking for proof of common interests between Israel, Iran and Russia after the nuclear deal was reached between Iran and the global superpowers, one need only look at the Israeli evaluation of the intensified Iranian and Russian involvement in Syria. The Iranian and Russian discourse merged…

The priorities of the post-Abbas era
It is foolish to address with any seriousness the systematic leaks that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his supporters are spreading regarding his intention to resign. They are only attempts to convince Israel to reduce the level of embarrassment it will cause him and to justify its continued attachment…

The Palestinian resistance and the absence of strategic thinking
A year has passed since the latest Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip. Israel has formed five committees to investigate the events and course of the war, as well as track and evaluate its results and draw conclusions from it. In addition, the results of this war have remained hot…

What annoys Al-Sisi about Hassan Salameh?
Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi knows full well that Hassan Salameh, one of the most prominent leaders of the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, has been in an Israeli prison for 19 years. He is also aware that his decision to involve Hassan Salameh in the prison-break case and…

Israel’s soft power boosts its diplomatic efforts

Dossier of Jewish organizations that seek to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque
The assassination attempt by Palestinian martyr Moataz Hijazi on Rabbi Yehuda Glick, one of the most prominent advocates of rebuilding the Third Temple on the ruins of Al-Aqsa Mosque, is being used to promote a misleading impression. This impression suggests that the desire to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque is limited to…

The war on Gaza: where did the resistance go wrong?
It is neither worthwhile nor sufficient for the Palestinian resistance to celebrate its great show of resistance during the war on Gaza and its success in preventing the success of Zionist schemes and Israeli aggressions on Gaza. On the contrary, it must consider the value of its military operations and…

Egypt’s war on the Palestinian resistance in the eyes of the Zionists

Those following the internal Zionist affairs and arguments would notice…

Israel’s fear of the Arab Spring and celebration of the counter revolutions
Israel showed an unprecedented interest in the Arab Spring revolutions, assuming that they would have an impact on its “national security”, economic strength and regional environment. Having considered the dimensions of Israeli media coverage of the revolution in Egypt, especially its strategic and economic consequences for Israel, and Israeli reliance…
