“reject #Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.” If a nation can be explicitly a religious-ethno state then that nation can NOT also be a democracy #WorldNews #IsraelElections #Haaretz
Israel’s Central Elections Committee voted Wednesday to disqualify Mansour Abbas’ United Arab List slate from running in the election, as well as the Joint List, which consists of the parties Hadash, Ta’al and Balad. In its decisions, the committee claimed some members of the parties “reject Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.”
The decisions may be reversed by appeal to the High Court of Justice, which struck down similar rulings in previous election cycles | Michael Hauser Tov, Chen Maanit, Noa Shpigel and Jack Khoury

#Israel claims that Turkey's military on the Syrian side of Turkey-Syria border is an attack against Israel who have occupied a part on the other side of Syria. Make that make sense. #IsraelNews #WorldNews #greaterisraelplan includes the whole world including your own home.


Turkey denies military delegation visited Syrian base before Israeli strike

 

Israel escalated its rhetoric against Turkey on Thursday, two days after it struck the Abu al-Duhur air base in northwestern Syria eight times over alleged Turkish presence. On X, Defense Minister Katz said President Erdoğan "is dragging Turkey into dangerous adventures in Syria," and should "continue delivering empty, delusional speeches against Israel" rather than test its resolve to defend itself.

For his part, PM Netanyahu posted a video of an interview in which he claims that Israel saw that "Turkey intends to establish a presence at an airport south of its line near Aleppo, and we conveyed a message… apparently they didn't hear it well enough, so we made sure they understood it better."

Text beneath the photo:

In his first press conference since the war with Iran kicked off almost two weeks ago, PM Netanyahu called on President Herzog to grant him a pardon and end his ongoing corruption trial. Netanyahu said that Herzog "simply needs to do the right thing" and bring the case to a close so he can focus on the war and regional diplomacy, saying "I would like to be completely"

Mr. Trump warned that U.S. strikes “will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary to achieve our objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!”I cherish peace with all my heart, I don't care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it.
