Israel vs Palestine/Lebanon/Iran/Yemen/Syria: a New Middle East War

[shaberon]

They definitely hit something:

On November 17 morning, a large fire broke out at hangers housing United States military aircraft and equipment in al-Harir Air Base in the Erbil province of the northern Iraqi autonomous region of Kurdistan after a drone attack.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), a coalition of Iranian-backed armed factions, claimed responsibility for the attack on the air base, saying in a statement that it was carried out “in response to the crimes committed by the enemy [Israel] against people in Gaza.”

MH-47G Chinook and MH-60M Black Hawk helicopters as well as MQ-1C Gray Eagle combat drones of the U.S. elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment are usually deployed in al-Harir Air Base, right near the hangars which were set on fire by the drone attack.

The CENTCOM launched several retaliatory strikes against targets linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the eastern Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor in an attempt to deter the IRI. However, the number of attacks on U.S. forces appears to be increasing.

It only increases from here.

They are not very precise or powerful, but, ongoing cheap attacks by minor explosives will do some damage.

Video shot from distance shows flames and the thick black smoke usually associated with oil, which means it may have been a fuel truck, or possibly one or more helicopters.

Threatening enough that the Israeli Air Force plans to attack Yemen.

They aren't always effective, as Damascus just repelled more of their missiles.




While Israeli embassies are closing, Syrian ones are spreading, even to Mongolia:





Ambassador Khaddam conveyed the greetings of President Bashar al-Assad to President Ukhna, the desire to develop bilateral relations, and his wishes for further prosperity and progress to the friendly Mongolian government and people.

For his part, Mongolian President had asked the Syrian Ambassador to convey his greetings to President al-Assad and his welcome for the development of bilateral relations at all levels.


They have signed MoUs with China, and received an Indian ambassador. This is what happens when thy plans of John McCain are resisted by force. Negotiations and Arab Leagues did not work for them. Perseverance in the face of death did.

Foreign and Expatriates Ministry said that the world no longer needs more proof and evidence about the fascist nature of the Zionist entity’s leadership and parties as attacks on Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza and the war crimes perpetrated there, and the flagrant violations of international humanitarian law have uncovered the Zionist entity before the eyes of the world people on all continents.

“The Israeli occupation’s tanks, planes and missiles have not been used with such brutality since World War II, and this war machine led to the destruction of 25 Palestinian hospitals with the entry of the Israeli army – in an unprecedented step in the history of wars- into Al-Shifa Hospital and its killing of patients, “Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

The statement added that the cheap drama that the Zionists played, adopted by the American administration, regarding the presence of fighters from the Palestinian factions in the hospital has fallen and it unveiled the Israeli Army of Failure and its fabricated narrative before the world public opinion.

Van Jones’ career as a political actor and commentator has followed quite an unusual path. Beginning as a radical activist and dedicated outsider in the early 1990s Jones has progressed to become a consummate insider, welcome on CNN, MSNBC and other mainstream outlets. Recently he even spoke at the pro-Israel rally in DC, leading the crowd to chant “No Ceasefire!” in response to Jones’ call for an end to all killing and violence. Jimmy and Kurt Metzger talk to journalist Aaron Maté (mate.substack.com) about the curious case of Van Jones.

What really happened in Israel on Oct. 7? w/Max Blumenthal | The Chris Hedges Report

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=d0gECjlpXF8

(41:52)
For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation—that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire. Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone joins The Chris Hedges Report for an in-depth look.

I wonder whether the msm, who have continually brought up the 40 Beheaded Babies propaganda, will now back-track, or even apologise for repeating lies? My guess is that it'll never be mentioned again. In the meantime, has a definitive list of Israeli hostages been released? Shani Louk was mentioned in this video, but it was only a suggestion of what may have happened. Sooner or later actual footage of October 7th is bound to come out.

Yes, there are Syrian Arab Christians, Palestinian ones, Lebanese, who usually find themselves treated like trash.

As to the "Jewish expulsions"--it is a culture which includes atheism, not just "practitioners"--I will check it out later, but, my guess is you find notably "England" under King John, followed by *numerous* expulsions from western Europe, which has never taken them back in terms of any mass migration.

English swiped the word "pogrom" from "Ukraine", which, initially, was an undesired Second Partition of the Pale, which caused Russia to absorb millions of Jews that it was not trying to take in--and these are the ones who could not go to the rest of Europe--forced into Zion after a couple centuries of whatever happened there.

The Complete List of the 1030 Jewish Expulsions in Human History

https://ia902804.us.archive.org/24/i...%20History.pdf

Hang on...it starts with Exodus:


This first entry may in fact need to be omitted
due to the fact that it is largely mythological...


This book does not mention King John!

But that is my mistake from mixing up the names:

1290 A.D. – England
Jews Expelled by King Edward I

It is such a large list because almost every action is on a municipal level. That one was national. There was no such thing as Italy or Germany.

It may be a mixture of codswallop and actual fact.

Not really a "book", but a defunct blog, apparently named for Lord Molyneaux (Northern Irish Conservative, IRA type).

It applies the word "pogrom" which was not really known until the 1600s, and in the relevant area, there are a tiny few references to Kiev and Ukraine--something is missing.

It does not mention Oliver Cromwell, and you have to read between the lines to watch England disappear off the list of expellers.

Otherwise the whole thing is almost entirely western European locations. They are expelled, and come back to the same places. Fourteen instances of Venice from *only* 1394-1851. Aside from Rome, they have a distinctly European problem beginning with the Merovingians--except that is an anachronistic mistake:

251-252 A.D. – Gaul
Jews self-deport after being given choice of Baptism or Death by Merovingian kings


because:

Merovech (French: Mérovée, Merowig; Latin: Meroveus; c. 411 – 458)


was not in Gaul (effectively "Belgian").


Such an incident appears to be absent because they were present:

...in the year 39 at Lugdunum (i.e. Lyon)".

An early account praised Hilary of Poitiers (died 366) for having fled from the Jewish society. The emperors Theodosius II and Valentinian III sent a decree to Amatius, prefect of Gaul (9 July 425), that prohibited Jews and pagans from practising law or holding public offices (militandi). This was to prevent Christians from being subject to them and possibly incited to change their faith. At the funeral of Hilary, Bishop of Arles, in 449, Jews and Christians mingled in crowds and wept; the former were said to have sung psalms in Hebrew.

It cites the references, but explains almost nothing. That one was from Solomon Katz, ‘The Jews In The Visigothic And Frankish Kingdoms Of Spain And Gaul’, p. 22.



There are a few Messiahs around the time of Jesus.

Of course it does not mention Jewish "acceptance", such as by the Caesars. And so in cases of revolt, one should always ask, why? Perhaps they were legitimate complaints in some cases. When you receive a new autocrat who is not like the old one, things might not go smoothly. I, personally, reserve judgment about anyone accused of "revolting", except for the cases where it is an Antifa-type rented mob committing mindless violence.

No finger lifted towards any question about how much of it is straight religious persecution.

Roman policy is difficult to figure out, although in part it says:

Suetonius, in a famous phrase, writes that Jews were expelled because “they constantly made disturbances impulsore Chresto [at the instigation of Chrestus].”

Because the interpretation of Suetonius’s phrase impulsore Chresto is difficult, opinions differ as to what caused these disturbances. Some see in Chrestus an otherwise unknown individual by that name, while others consider Chrestus to be a synonym for Christianity and, consequently, believe that it was the preaching of Christianity that led to all this commotion. Most recently, Slingerland has argued forcefully that a Christian interpretation of the evidence provided by Suetonius is wrong because it is based exclusively on arguments ex silentio.

Where, again, there is no attestation of "Christos" anywhere in the world until the year 96, which is in the Roman tax rolls. In fact, it only appears in the oldest known New Testament (Codex Sinaiticus) because someone scratched out the "E" to make it look like an "I". If anyone can figure out the honesty and integrity in that one, let me know.


In the old entries you see unrealistic figures such as 50,000 at Alexandria, and, according to Josephus, over a million in another incident...the list somewhat mixes "pogroms" with "expulsions".



For example, this is from the link for Poland 1968:

The anti-Zionist campaign began in 1967, and was carried out in conjunction with the USSR's withdrawal of all diplomatic relations with Israel after the Six-Day War, but also involved a power struggle within the PZPR itself. The subsequent purges within the ruling party, led by Moczar and his faction, failed to topple Gomułka's government but resulted in an exile from Poland of thousands of communist individuals of Jewish ancestry, including professionals, party officials and secret police functionaries appointed by Joseph Stalin following the Second World War. In carefully staged public displays of support, factory workers across Poland were assembled to publicly denounce Zionism. At least 13,000 Poles of Jewish origin emigrated in 1968–72 as a result of being fired from their positions and various other forms of harassment.

Poland was on the side of U. S. S. R.? Oh, yeah, it was.

That nevertheless sounds like a purge of Stalinists, some of whom were Jewish.

You can see the significant part at a glance:





The first reliable document attesting the presence of Jews in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania is the charter of 1388 granting privileges to the Jews in Trakai.


What is that about, well, Poland is Catholic.

There was no significant Jewish population in eastern Europe until the 1300s, thanks to the previous expulsions, and at the time, Lithuania had no cities and no rights.

Lithuania "expelled" them for about eight years:

The causes of the unexpected expulsion were probably many, including religious reasons, the need to fill a depleted treasury by confiscating the Jews' money, personal animosity, and other causes.

Today they number less than 3,000.


So, yes, fairly reliably starting in the non-Slavic countries, the "expulsions" continue for some 1,500 years into relatively modern times:


1939 A.D. – Albania

1939 A.D. – Poland

1939 A.D. – Hungary

1940 A.D. – France

1940 A.D. – Genoa, Italy

Jewish bankers expelled for British support (similar to every other Italian city)

1941 A.D. – Austria

1941 A.D. – Czechoslovakia

1943 A.D. – The Balkans


What are all those Zionist countries doing in this list??

As you can tell, Ukraine and Russia have almost nothing to do with this, except for the relatively brief period they did, somewhat involuntarily, in consequence of all the other deportations.

Unsurprisingly:


1948 A.D. – West Bank
Jews Expelled.

1948 A.D. – Jerusalem
Jews Expelled.


Moving forward:

Israel’s economy will contract 5% in the fourth quarter of this year amid rising geopolitical and security risks due to the conflict with Palestinian group Hamas, credit rating agency S&P said in a report.

The rating agency cited lower business activity, falling consumer demand, and a “very uncertain” investment environment, RT reported.

S&P projects an Israeli fiscal deficit of 5.3% of GDP in 2023 and 2024, compared with the agency’s pre-war estimate of 2.3%.

The Israeli government has significantly increased expenses to fund the military and to compensate businesses near the border with Gaza, as well as the families of victims and hostages taken by Hamas. This has led to a record budget deficit, which last month ballooned to $6 billion, a more than sevenfold increase compared to one year ago.

The S&P report comes after the agency downgraded Israel’s credit outlook from ‘stable’ to ‘negative’ last month, just two weeks after the conflict began on October 7. Ratings agencies Moody’s and Fitch have both put Israel on review for a downgrade.

S&P, however, indicated it could restore Israel’s credit outlook to ‘stable’ if the conflict is resolved, as that would mean a reduction in regional security and internal risks.

Which, in Iranian logic:

The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Israeli regime is moving towards its “inevitable collapse” in a “war of attrition” with Palestinians resistance movements.

“Palestine stands on the path of a war of attrition…’Israel’ will face a definitive defeat,” he declared. “Operation Al-Aqsa Storm showed that the US help cannot save ‘Israel’ from the danger of collapse.”

Salami said hatred of the US has spread all over the world and it is more isolated than ever. He said Muslim and non-Muslim nations would inflict a heavy blow upon the US economy by boycotting its products.

The IRGC chief expressed confidence that Muslim nations would avenge the Israeli regime’s atrocities, saying, “Muslims’ revenge on oppressors has no expiration date.”

The top Iranian commander hailed the great capacities of the Palestinian resistance movements, especially Islamic Jihad and Hamas, saying, “Hamas and Islamic Jihad cannot be collapsed. Neither Palestine nor its young fighters can be destroyed.”

He expressed confidence that Israel’s “definite defeat” would trap it in a quagmire, adding that there is no indication of victory of the US and ‘Israel’ in their ongoing battle against the resistance fighters in Gaza while “everything is ready for Palestine’s liberation.”

Does not match the Israeli:

Deputy speaker of the Knesset and member of the legislature’s foreign affairs and security committee, Nissim Vaturi, has called for the complete destruction of Gaza. Vaturi emphasized that ‘Israel’ should not allow any aid into Gaza Strip until all captives are released.

Expressing his belief that ‘Israel’ has been “too humane,” Vaturi criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet for succumbing to international pressure and allowing the entry of only two trucks of fuel per day into Gaza. This decision came after a month-long ban on fuel, which resulted in a collapse of the health sector and other essential services for the 2.2 million Palestinians living in Gaza.

While the first truck carrying fuel from Egypt entered the Strip on Wednesday, it was confirmed that the delivery to hospitals was prohibited. This move further exacerbates the dire situation faced by the people of Gaza.

Vaturi’s alarming statement, which called for the burning of Gaza, has since been removed from his post on social media. However, the call to block aid from entering Gaza remains.

Britain and U. S. being dragged down:

Retail sales volumes in October were at their lowest level since February 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there were “widespread and extensive restrictions to non-essential retail in England, Scotland and Wales”, the ONS said.

The retail analyst Nick Bubb said there was plenty of evidence of retailers struggling to attract customers for much of the year, adding that the evidence from the US, where interest rates have also climbed steeply, was similar.

Food retailers reported a 7.7% increase in spending on a year ago and online retail sales were up by 6.1%, but volumes were down in both cases as inflation resulted in consumers paying more for less.

Danni Hewson, the head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said this is because middle-income households are being squeezed by rising mortgage costs.

“What is particularly interesting is the food sector. Even here spending is down but it’s where that spend has fallen which alludes to the impact rising mortgage costs are having on middle-income families," Hewson added.

Helen Dickinson, the chief executive of the BRC, said consumer confidence was weakening because of higher mortgage and rental costs.

Martin Beck, the chief economic adviser to the EY Item Club, said, “The retail sector is unlikely to experience a significant uptick in fortunes in the near term. The impact of higher interest rates is building, with an extra 1.5 million households with mortgages set to see fixed-rate deals expire and roll on to higher rates before the end of 2024.”

Of course, that comes with a sales pitch for the future, when cheap gas will allow you to eat again. So they say.

Private militias cannot directly harass a national economy, and 90% of Palestinians see no peaceful co-existence with Israel, so, this does not end well, because it probably doesn't end.

Britain’s SAS Abetting Gaza Genocide?


Kit Klarenberg


It has been revealed Britain’s shadowy Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee is suppressing news reportage on clandestine Special Air Service (SAS) operations in Gaza. The eagerness of London’s military, security and intelligence apparatus to censor such disclosures is an unambiguous indicator Perfidious Albion is doing the devil’s work in the embattled Occupied Territories, and wants inconvenient, incriminating truths concealed.

The DSMA is a little-known, rarely discussed and highly secretive body. Comprised of senior representatives of the British Army, Ministry of Defence, domestic and foreign spying agencies, major government departments, press associations and TV and print outlets, it has for decades insidiously imposed a quintessentially British form of press censorship. The Committee decides the subjects and events related to national security that can be reported on, and how, with devastating effect.

On October 28th, the DSMA’s chief wrote to editors of major British news outlets, demanding they not report or in any way mention the SAS is currently “deployed to sensitive areas” of West Asia, conducting “hostage rescue/evacuation operations” of Britons caught up in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, and Israeli genocidal counterattack. The Committee claimed such journalistic activity “could reveal details of operations or operating methods and techniques…which would bestow an advantage on an adversary,” and thus “endanger national security”:

“May I take this opportunity to remind editors publication of such information contravenes the DSMA notice code. I therefore advise claims of such deployments should not be published nor broadcast without first seeking [DSMA] advice. [The Committee] aims to prevent inadvertent disclosure of classified information about Special Forces and other units engaged in security, intelligence and counter-terrorist operations [in Gaza], including their methods, techniques and activities.”

‘Complete and Utter Nightmare’

This broadside was allegedly motivated by The Daily Mail and The Sun earlier that day revealing the SAS was “on standby in Cyprus to rescue British hostages held captive in Gaza.” Purportedly, 200 Britons remained “trapped by the bloodbath” after Egypt and the Israelis sealed the area’s borders, so London’s elite soldiers were “braced” to liberate them on British military and intelligence bases in Cyprus, which “offer a strategic presence in the eastern Mediterranean.”

Even at that stage, the true number of hostages captured by Hamas still alive was highly uncertain, given the Zionist assault on Gaza’s ferocity. US and Israeli officials profess ignorance about the total today. This raises obvious questions about the true rationale behind the SAS presence in Cyprus. Moreover, the prospect of a daring rescue raid in the Occupied Territories was judged suicidally insane and ill-omened by an SAS veteran consulted by The Daily Mail:

“This situation in Gaza is unique, in terms of trying to locate the hostages and find safe passage out. There’s a lot of confusion with what’s going on over there right now. Finding the right stronghold where hostages are being held will be tough - then you have to safely move to that location, find the hostages, then leave. From a planning perspective, it will be a complete and utter nightmare. It could end in disaster.”

The DSMA letter’s reference to “security, intelligence and counter-terrorist operations” also points to a very different purpose to the SAS presence near Gaza. Such suspicions are compounded by a recent investigation by Declassified UK, which found 33 military transport flights have traveled to "Tel Aviv" from the same British bases in Cyprus at which the SAS operatives are posted, including every day for two weeks after the Israeli genocide in Gaza began. The outlet could not identify comparable flights before that fateful date.

DSMA letters are hugely impactful. Examples of journalists and editors failing to heed these requests are non-existent. Meanwhile, after The Guardian began reporting on documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in 2013, the Committee immediately fired off letters, stating British intelligence was “concerned further developments of this same theme” would compromise “national security”. The Snowden revelations were resultantly ignored by Britain’s media, with most outlets not mentioning the seismic, world-changing disclosures at all.

It is inconceivable the DSMA Committee is deeply worried about reports of the SAS being “braced” for courageous hostage rescue missions spreading. It is much more likely - if not certain - British special forces based in Cyprus are actively aiding and abetting Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in the Zionists’ mission to “wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth”, and achieve Nakba 2.0. Which the British government would have every reason to cover up.

‘The Latest Massacre’

An official inquiry in London is scrutinizing SAS activities in Afghanistan, 2010 - 2013. It has uncovered reams of shocking evidence indicating British special forces squads tasked with locating and capturing suspected “terrorists” routinely murdered unarmed, innocent people, then fabricated evidence to falsely frame their victims as armed insurgents. Moreover, senior military officials were well-aware of rampant, lethal SAS criminality, but turned a blind eye.

On October 11th, a lawyer representing seven Afghan families whose relatives were killed by SAS soldiers, made his opening statement in the Royal Courts of Justice. He stated internal British Army documents and correspondence released to the prosecution exposed:

“Extensive contemporaneous evidence of apparent attempts to cover up wrongdoing, ranging from the destruction of evidence and the coaching of witnesses to the turning of blind eyes and the credulous acceptance by those responsible for military discipline of implausible and often wholly incredible accounts of events… [British special forces chiefs] failed to take any steps to investigate that wrongdoing and prevent its recurrence.”

SAS operatives implicated made a determined attempt to destroy incriminating evidence of their crimes, and defied orders from military police not to delete data from their computers. Yet, remaining material on servers used by a key SAS squadron accused of murder was found to include “indecent images of children and extreme pornography.” Many smoking gun emails between officers also escaped deletion.

On February 9th 2011, a special forces officer lamented to another, “whilst murder and the [SAS] have oft been regular bed-fellows, this is beginning to look bone!” They replied: “Depressing that it has come to this…Ultimately a massive failure of leadership…when the next WikiLeaks occurs then we will be dragged down with them.”

Mere days earlier, the SAS had killed nine sleeping Afghans, including a 14-year-old boy. A week later, an SAS night raid left four members of one family dead, among them a man British intelligence claimed was a Taliban military commander. His family counter that he was a mere student. The rest of the cold-bloodedly slain were conceded by the British government to be civilians. Commenting on the action, an SAS sergeant major internally described the episode as “the latest massacre!”

An official incident report on the killings authored by the SAS soldiers responsible provoked outcry and mocking from their fellow operatives, and superiors. A special forces soldier from another unit said their description of why the shooting started - two detainees were ordered to open the building’s curtains, and returned with an AK47 and a grenade - was the eighth or tenth time such a scenario had been posited as the cause of an SAS mass killing in the past fortnight.

“You couldn’t MAKE IT UP! [emphasis in original]” they sardonically signed off.

This horrific, hitherto hidden legacy has terrifying potential ramifications for all those who remain in Gaza. The IOF has demonstrated total contempt for Palestinian life young and old, obliterating civilian infrastructure and its occupants with callous impunity, and even slaughtering civilians attempting to flee to designated “safe” zones. Meanwhile, the fakery and dishonesty employed to justify or conceal these crimes against humanity plumbs fresh depths of depravity daily. In this genocidal mission, the Zionists couldn’t have a more perfect collaborator than the SAS.

Hamas leader re-engaging in talks on Prisoner exchange: Axios

Negotiations regarding the release of dozens of captives held in Gaza have resumed and are making small progress, three sources with direct knowledge of the situation told Axios.

Hamas' leader in the Gaza Strip Yahya Al-Sinwar reportedly re-engaged with Hamas delegates in Doha for the first time since IOF troops stormed Al-Shifa hospital.

On Saturday, hundreds of people were forcefully evacuated from the hospital by the Israeli occupation forces, and at least 15 bodies were found along the evacuation route. WHO highlighted the critical condition of patients, including 29 with serious spinal injuries, others with infected wounds, and 32 premature babies in extremely critical condition.

Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, revealed, on Sunday, that a deal to free Israeli captives is facing "minor" practical issues. Qatar has played a role in mediating talks to free some of the Israeli captives, approximately 240 in total. The efforts have resulted in the release of four captives so far.

Two sources told Axios that Al-Sinwar gave answers to the Qatari mediators that suggested a possible deal, but nothing was certain so far.

A 2-part deal

The sources also revealed that if a deal were reached, it would be executed in two stages.

In the first phase, Hamas will release around 50 women and children in exchange for a five-day ceasefire.

During the ceasefire, Hamas will seek out more women and children it believes are being kept by other Resistance groups.

According to the sources, Al-Sinwar is also requesting that the Israelis suspend their aerial monitoring of Gaza for six hours daily so Hamas can locate captives without being spied on.

In addition, the sources say Al-Sinwar is demanding all Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli jails be released.

According to the sources, "Israel" requested to know the actual number of women and children being held in Gaza as part of the arrangement. According to one source, "Israel" would not accept a broad agreement that Hamas will free more captives, but instead wants to know how many will be released in the second phase.

As part of the agreement, Hamas is demanding 400 trucks enter Gaza to provide fuel in addition to other humanitarian aid.

"Israel" claims it cannot process 400 trucks a day for "security reasons".

Biden Deputy NatSec Adviser says captives deal 'closer than ever': CNN

Jonathan Finer, Biden's Deputy National Security Adviser, spoke with CNN's Jake Tapper on the administration's progress in striking an agreement for the release of Israeli captives.

During the interview, Finer called Qatar's efforts at mediating a release agreement "extremely close," adding that the US has been following the situation "minute by minute, hour by hour, up to the level of the President."

The Palestinian Resistance still insists on the release of Palestinian Women and children from Israeli prisons to make a similar move.

The United States is seemingly working to facilitate a deal between "Israel" and Hamas, following reports of a tentative agreement, which the White House has denied. The negotiations aim to achieve a temporary cessation of hostilities, with the release of Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons in exchange. However, "Israel" has maintained its stance of not agreeing to a ceasefire until all Israeli captives are released.

Finer called the situation an overriding priority since many Americans were involved, explaining that since the negotiations began, "we think that we are closer than we have ever been perhaps."

Ship seized by Yemen exposed vulnerabilities in Israeli economy

In a significant development in the Red Sea, the Yemeni Armed Forces captured an Israeli-owned vessel today, marking a notable escalation in operations against the Israeli occupation regime in support of Gaza.

The seized ship, the Galaxy Leader, is linked to a British company, according to media reports, which is partially owned by the Israeli businessman Abraham Ungar, commonly known as "Rami".

Ungar, a prominent figure in Israeli business circles, is the owner of Ray Shipping LTD. As of 2019, his net worth was estimated at a staggering $2.1 billion, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the entity. His extensive wealth and business dealings have placed him at the center of the Israeli commercial landscape.

Israeli media outlets highlight Ungar's significant connections within the local political sphere, noting his involvement in various controversies that have rocked the Israeli political scene. One such incident involved former Israeli President Ezer Weizman, to whom Ungar reportedly gave $21,000 in small monthly installments. This controversy eventually led to Weizman's resignation, illustrating the extent of Ungar's influence.

Another scandal linked to Ungar emerged in the notorious Holyland Case involving Shula Zaken, the former Chief of Staff for then Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Ungar was accused of bribing Zaken with $10,000 to prevent her from testifying against Olmert. These scandals underline the complex web of Ungar's connections and his impact on the Israeli political and business sectors.

The seizure of the "Galaxy Leader" vessel, despite possibly not having an Israeli crew, signifies a major blow to Ungar's interests. This incident has sent shockwaves through the Israeli business community, highlighting the vulnerabilities faced by Israeli-owned assets in contentious regions.

The incident not only reflects the ongoing regional tensions but also underscores the far-reaching implications of business and political entanglements in such volatile environments, and the vulnerabilities of the Israeli economy that today are the focus of the Resistance Axis until the aggression on Gaza stops.

The Yemeni operation came less than 8 hours after the country released the initial warning on Sunday, that the group intended to target any ships owned or operated by Israeli companies or bearing the Israeli flag.

"We urge countries whose nationals work in the Red Sea to stay away from any activity with Israeli ships or those owned by Israelis," the official spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said on Sunday.

Following the incident, there was a state of fury and confusion in "Tel Aviv," revealed by a mix of contradicting statements, even among the entity's top officials.

On the event and its impact, Israeli media said, "The Houthis continue to challenge Israel and have taken control of an Israeli ship," and the country has "threatened and then carried out their threat."

"The Houthis' control of the ship poses a problem to Israeli trade that is difficult to confront, affecting the security of cargo shipping, which will increase in cost, so Israel considers this that it is a global problem."
