Netanyahu: Rafah Operation Will Happen

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Sunday that an operation in Rafah, the last Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza, would take place.

“Since the beginning of the war, we have been fighting on two fronts – the military front and the political front,” Netanyahu began, adding that “on the political front, we have so far managed to allow our forces to fight in an unprecedented manner for five full months. But it is no secret that the international pressure against us is increasing.”

Any approved the operational plans for the operation in Rafah, includes the promotion of the steps to evacuate the civilian population from the battle zones.

Netanyahu also conveyed a message to the world: “Instead of putting pressure on Israel, which is fighting the most just war, against the cruelest of enemies, direct your pressure against Hamas and its patron – Iran. They are the ones who pose a danger to the region and the entire world.”

“I repeat – we will act in Rafah. It will take a few weeks, and it will happen,” Netanyahu said.

Hamas Assumed Wrong and Got Caught

The IDF conducted a raid overnight on Shifa Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip and arrested 80 terror suspects.

The Hamas operatives who returned to hide in the hospital wrongly assumed that Israel, facing massive international pressure, would not dare to respond, even if the IDF and the Shin Bet found out about their presence there, for fear of backlash from Washington and global public opinion.

The mission was prompted by intelligence that Hamas was regrouping in the northern Gaza hospital and planned to reinstate the facility as its local terror headquarters, a role it served before the war.

This “surgical operation” should serve as a warning to terrorists hiding anywhere in Israel that more operations will get underway, and that they can’t run and hide anymore.

This is a Time of Danger for Israel

Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman spoke to Arutz Sheva – Israel National News about the current state of the US-Israel relationship in light of the recent pressure by the Biden Administration over the war against Hamas.

Friedman commented on the shift in the messages conveyed by the US government from what was felt in Israel in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas massacre, on October 8th and 9th, when the US seemed more supportive of Israel. “It is very unfortunate. Biden made reference to Israel engaging in indiscriminate bombing. This is very, very unfair, and not true. I think he said that their conduct was over the top. He started pushing for a two-state solution. He’s demanding a ceasefire.”

Since certain clusters of Biden’s supporters were “no commitment” in the recent primaries and Donald J. Trump is ahead in the polls. Biden is trying gain votes even if it hurts Israel. Senator Chuck Schumer – no “shomer” of Israel – is also desperate for his party to win and recently called for new elections in Israel to replace Prime Minister Netanyahu. Neither Biden nor Schumer are friends of Israel. This is a time of tremendous danger for the Jewish Nation State, which must stay the course and finish the war to a complete victory.

Israel Must Clarify to Whom the Land Belongs!

A terror attack took place at a cafe in the Beit Kama Junction in the Northern Negev this morning. A man in his 50s was died from his critical wounds. Before he passed, in a heroic response after having been stabbed several times, this man managed to pull himself up, push the terrorist to the ground, pull out a gun and shoot him. The terrorist was eliminated. A 65 year-old man was also lightly wounded in this attack.

Israel is at war which escalated since that horrific day on October 7, 2023. We continue to report on terror attacks. One would think with all the terrorists that Israel’s defense forces have either captured or eliminated to date that the threat of terrorism would nearly be erased. Today’s attack strongly emphasizes once again with great clarity that the delusional quest for a two-state solution is not an option for peace.

Something must change and there is an answer! Yehudit Katsover and Nadia Matar wrote in Arutz Sheva today that “The Sovereignty Movement views the timing of the current war as a historic opportunity, an event that will change the political and regional rules of the game, and it is specifically in its wake that the time has come to clarify to whom this land belongs, and it is we who must be the ones to clarify this. If we do not do so, the world will decide for us on the basis of its interests.”

No more talk of phantom peace plans. No more fantasies pushing for a two-state solution. It’s very long overdue and high time to apply SOVEREIGNTY NOW! What are we waiting for?

“I Was Told to Say It Was Him” Foreign Anarchists Must Go!

As Knesset lawmakers grappled with the disruptive effects of foreign anarchists, a police official said that half of the reports of “settler violence” were manufactured by the agitators.

Judea and Samaria District Central Unit police commander Avishai Muallem disclosed to lawmakers that half of the 191 complaints of “settler violence” reported in the South Hebron Hills area were deemed false and manufactured by foreigners. Of 70 similar complaints filed with authorities in the Jordan Valley, half were also found to be unsubstantiated.

Said Muallem, “An individual files a complaint accusing a Jewish resident of Judea and Samaria of violence against him, pointing out his name. As we show him the person’s picture, he doesn’t recognize him. When asked about this inconsistency, he admits, ‘I was told to say it was him.’”

Hooray for Pallywood! They’re finally being exposed for what they really are: terrorists hell-bent on destroying Israel.

Keeping Jews Safe on the Temple Mount

For the first time since 1967, Israel has installed barbed wire atop a Temple Mount wall near the Arab section for prayer in the hours prior to the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which began Monday night.

Israel security personnel have been preparing for weeks for Ramadan it’s seen by Arab terrorist organizations as a particularly auspicious time to carry out attacks on Israelis and Jews.

The Palestinian Authority said the move constituted “a dangerous precedent” and claimed the Israeli government was installing the barbed wire “to prevent worshipers from entering Al Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan.”

With strict security protocols in place, Israel will allow Palestinian Authority Muslims to enter Jerusalem for the purpose of pilgrimage to observe Ramadan in prayer at the Al Aqsa Mosque. That means no terror attacks, rock throwing or other words or actions meant to demonize Jewish worshipers.

Leave No Stone Unturned

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to US President Joe Biden’s statements that a military operation in Rafah is a “red line.”

“The President and I have agreed that we have to destroy Hamas,” Netanyahu told Fox News. “We can’t leave a quarter of the Hamas terror army in place. They’re there, in Rafah. This would be equivalent to saying that after the Allies fought back, gone through Normandy, went through Germany and you’d say, ‘Well we’ll leave a quarter of the Nazi army in place and we won’t go into Berlin, the last stronghold.’”

Netanyahu also stressed that his position is not personal but supported by the vast majority of Israeli citizens. “They’re really united, like never before,” he noted. He also stated that “victory is important not only for us, it’s important for the civilized world as we’re fighting these barbarians.”

As he continues to talk from both sides of his mouth, Biden hasn’t got an ounce of legitimate credibility or assistance to offer to Israel. He has yet to take responsibility for the 5 Gazans killed from a U.S. air food drop. If he continues to cozy up to Iran and refuses to face the truth about what it takes to eliminate the enemy – and why – then he is a part of the problem. Israel must press on undeterred. Her very survival is at stake.

Dermer Stresses “Historic Mistake”

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the war has been the overbearing calls for a pathway to Palestinian statehood in the aftermath of the worst terror massacre in Israel’s history.

In Part II of an exclusive interview with JNS, Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs and member of a five-man war cabinet, Ron Dermer discusses plans for “the day after” the war in the Gaza Strip; the need for deradicalization of the Palestinian society; and why Palestinian statehood in the immediate aftermath of Oct. 7 would be a “historic mistake.”

A two-state solution is not, never has been, and never will be a position that Americans for a Safe Israel endorses. AFSI has argued consistently that a strong, territorially defensible Israel is essential to U.S. and global security interests in the region, and that the “two-state solution,” would endanger the world, while bringing the dissolution of Israel.

DESTROYED: Or Ahuvya

Dozens of police officers and Civil Administration supervisors on Monday morning descended on the community of Or Ahuvya, founded about one month ago, in the Binyamin Region.

“Young girls who barricaded themselves on the roof were thrown to the ground from a height by police officers, and the girls’ cellular phones were confiscated until the completion of the demolition, in order to prevent it from being recorded,” residents recalled.

Among the residents of the hill is the sister of Ahuvya Sandek, after whom the hill was named. Or Ahuvya was founded ot be part of a chain of Jewish territorial settlements in the Ofra area, which includes Or Meir, Or Ahuvya, and two additional settlements near the town of Amona.

A Promise to Demolish

As part of an appeal filed by residents of the Palestinian Authority Arab town of Kafr Malik, the State has committed to the Supreme Court that it will demolish houses in the homestead of Maoz Esther in the Binyamin Region within three weeks, subject to operational considerations.

The residents of the homestead stated: “The only person who can decide whether to carry out the demolition during a war is Minister Bezalel Smotrich. The demolition of Khan al-Ahmar, despite having been subject to a final court ruling, has been delayed by the state for years and to this day. It makes no sense that while the Palestinian Authority continues to take over this region without opposition,” while the roads of Judea and Samaria have become conduits for terrorism and hundreds of officers directed to demolish the houses of Jewish families.

it makes no sense to us either. During a time where Israel is at war fighting to eliminate the terrorist entities that are a threat to her very existence, we think this matter should wait. We trust a clearer picture of the truth will emerge after the war is over.
