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 short,…

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 hard-liner…

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 may…

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 Israeli…

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.

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 individual…

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 Agbaria,…

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.

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 motives…

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 involves…

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 about…

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 pays…

Palestinian Prisoners and Israeli national security

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 by…
