Netanyahu’s Dramatic Statement On Sovereignty

In a Tuesday morning address to the media and with less than a week away from Israeli elections, Prime Minister Netanyahu stated:

“There is one place that Israeli sovereignty can be applied immediately after the elections if Israeli citizens let me in. Today I announce my intention to apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea,” he declared. He also emphasized that the forthcoming release of the long-awaited ‘Deal of the Century’ presents an historic opportunity to apply Sovereignty.

We appreciate hearing Netanyahu’s post-election plans for Sovereignty, but of course, remain cautious. No intention of applying Sovereignty should be met with empty promises or be a part of a political deal. AFSI looks forward to the real deal.

Israel Defends Against Hostilities

The IDF stated that Israeli jets struck a Hamas naval-equipment depot and two aerial operations “military centers” on Saturday. This was in response to an armed drone that entered Israeli airspace from the Gaza Strip earlier in the day,

“The IDF will continue to act against attempts to harm Israeli citizens, and holds the Palestinian terror group Hamas responsible for everything that takes place in the Gaza Strip and which emanates from there,” said the IDF.

Israel released a statement today stating that on Monday several rockets were fired at its territory from Syria by an Iranian-backed force in what would be a rare incident, but that they all fell short. “Earlier this morning, a number of rockets were launched from Syria towards Israel, all failed to hit Israeli territory,” a statement from Israel’s military said.

Netanyahu Warned Everyone. Now An Explanation is Needed.

In a speech last year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to visit the site of what he warned was a “secret atomic warehouse” in Tehran.

As we expected, the UN nuclear watchdog found samples of traces of uranium from this site. Iran has yet to offer and explanation, reports two diplomats who follow the IAEA’s inspections closely.

An Early Al Chet

For those of you who had the opportunity to join AFSI at last month’s Jabotinsky Memorial & Tribute, you’ll remember that Amotz Eyal of TPS showed us the many ways in which the media distorts not only written text, but images too. These false narratives end up slandering and hurting Israel.

On this subject, last week, action was taken by Ad Kan’s attorney Tzur Falk. Ad Kan is a group dedicated to defending the good name of Israelis who are attacked by the left, as well as turn in leftist criminals who collaborate with the Palestinian Authority. Falk sent Meretz leader Moshe “Mossi” Raz a strong warning letter describing the actual event behind the provocative image shown here.

Raz issued an apology via his Twitter account to Yair Trabelsi, local security coordinator for Karnei Shomron. While AFSI appreciate’s Raz’s apology, it is imperative that facts on the ground be established first before rushing to judgment and spewing unnecessary attacks against Israel. We expect better from all of Israel’s leaders.

For a full history on this terror attack, the neglect of German authorities to handle it properly – before and after – please read The National Library of Israel’s archived story by Ioran Melcer, “Munich Olympics: Massacre of the Israeli Athletes on German Soil.”

Netanyahu: We Will Remain In Hevron Forever

Prime Minister Netanyahu participated in the state ceremony in Hevron on Wednesday marking 90 years since the 1929 riots there. This was Netanyahu’s first visit to Hevron since 1998. He was accompanied by President Reuven Rivlin and the Speaker of the Knesset, Yuli Edelstein.

Netanyahu addressed the strengthening of Hevron, saying, “The Machpela House was populated last week and we are addressing other important issues regarding access to the Cave of the Patriarchs and rights to Jewish property. We do not come to dispossess anyone, but no one will dispossess us. We are not foreigners in Hevron, we will remain in it forever.”

Unfortunately, the Prime Minister did not make a clear commitment to returning the land in the Avraham Avinu neighborhood to the Jewish community. We hope to have an unequivocal comment on that in the near future so that long-awaited construction of housing can begin.

PA Radicalization Worse Than Previously Thought

Benjamin Kerstein in his Algemeiner article reports on a study that found that new Palestinian educational materials slated for use during the 2019-2020 school year have, despite considerable international criticism, become even more ridden with anti-Israel and sometimes anti-Semitic propaganda.

IMPACT-se, the group that evaluated the materials according to UNESCO standards, stated the materials contain “a systematic insertion of violence, martyrdom and jihad across all grades and subjects.” The materials “indoctrinate for death and martyrdom, utilizing a variety of tools to convince children to risk their lives as martyrs.”

IDF Report Reveals Secret Hezbollah Missile Project

Yesterday afternoon, the IDF revealed details on Hezbollah’s Iranian-backed precision guided missile project. This comes just days after drone attacks attributed to Israel targeted a site allegedly used by Hezbollah to manufacture missiles.

According to the IDF report the precision missile project was first launched six years ago, following Iranian transfers of missiles to Lebanon via Syria. Had this missile project advanced, it would have posed a very serious threat to Israel’s security.

A New Partnership? DO NOT ENGAGE!

Steve Emerson’s new report in The Investigative Project on Terrorism should have every American concerned.

Emerson writes that despite current knowledge about CAIR’s affiliation with the Hamas supported network – the Muslim Brotherhood, the U.S. Census Bureau believes the conservative, Sunni-dominated Islamist organization is a trustworthy organization to partner with in next year’s national population count. CAIR leadership has made it known that it is pleased that it will help get the Muslim community the funding and government representation it deserves.

Yet, we know that a senior FBI official wrote in 2009, “[U]ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner.”

This policy is still in effect at the FBI. We see no reason why the Census Bureau (or any US government agency) should partner with this or any group where there is evidence of ties to HAMAS, a designated terrorist organization.
