Tourism minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen says Israel wants to boost tourism by ‘taking advantage of the fact that Israel is a safe country’.

“Incredible that Iran has been able to deliver this equipment in the beseiged Gaza It takes some logistics & secrecy.. And even more incredible is that the entire Palestinian population is willing to take the losses to fight the Jewish occupation forces”

“There is a general uprising of the Muslims against the occupation and fierce clashes are going on between the Jews and Muslims in almost all Israeli cities where they have mixed population… Israelis have lost control in many cities”

“Haniyeh & Hamas Leadership assured the Arab mediators that they had prepared for a long war and had no confidence in the occupier and did not use a tenth of their weapons, and the concealment of the sort of weapons they’re planning to use is greater that what’s used so far”

“Netanyahu rushed to Cairo and Doha, demanding intervention, rescue, and mediation for a cease-fire. Resistance refused and responded by firing a thousand rockets at Tel Aviv, Beersheba, Haifa, and Jaffa last night”

It has always been a ‘One State Solution’. A Palestinian state. Now they’re starting to realize it. What’s happening today is shaking the core of their beliefs”.

[embedded content]…Israel’s Aggressive Actions Are Indefensible

‘The self-proclaimed Jewish State sought to evict Palestinians from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, which has been illegally occupied by “Israel” since 1967, in order to create new colonial settlements there.

‘“Israel” also prohibited the Palestinians from gathering near the Damascus Gate where they often socialize during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

‘Furthermore, “Israel” restricted the number of worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam.

‘These decisions prompted the Palestinians to protest, which some of them also did from within the Al-Aqsa Mosque by throwing bottles and stones at the “Israeli” security services, which in turn resulted in the latter attacking that place of worship with rubber bullets and stun grenades.

‘The hybrid political-military movement Hamas subsequently issued an ultimatum to “Israel” to withdraw its security forces from Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood as well as release all of the Palestinians who were recently detained.

‘This warning wasn’t heeded, hence why Hamas fired rockets from Gaza into “Israel”, triggering retaliatory airstrikes…’A few speculate that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intentionally fanned the flames of violence in order to manufacture the violent scenario that’s since transpired so as to appear as the only political figure capable of defending “Israel” from what his government describes as so-called “terrorist attacks” by the Palestinians.
