To be honest, I don’t even know what to write. Just imagine watching your home burn while your family is trapped inside. That is exactly what happened in front of my eyes last night. Dozens of Israeli terrorists stormed my village and set homes on fire. More details soon.

Maj. Gen. Bluth openly declared that settler farm outposts are part of his security doctrine. The highest commander controlling Palestinian lives is admitting to violating international law, yet the EU and global leaders remain completely silent - no protest let alone action.

#Israel: RSF is alarmed by reports that the intelligence agency Shin Bet has illegally surveilled journalists and their sources. After the revelations made on Wednesday by journalist Ronen Bergman, the Israeli authorities must immediately provide an explanation. If this surveillance is confirmed, officials must end it and hold those responsible to account.

Israeli settlers filmed taking Palestinians' livestock under IDF protection haaretz.com/west-bank/2026…

This directly and unequivocally contradicts what Netanyahu and others say about settlers being a bunch of teenage juveniles

This truth is self-evident. haaretz.com/us-news/2026-0…

Genuinely hilarious that anyone thinks you’d have to go out of your way to encounter settler terrorists in the occupied West Bank. You people have no fucking clue what’s going on over here. None

🧵Today, on the one-year anniversary of settlers beating 20-year-old Palestinian American Sayfollah Musallet to death in his own olive fields, I accompanied his father, Kamel, to visit his grave and then to try to reach the spot where he was killed. We were attacked by settlers…

"This lobby operates under the radar. No one in Germany wants to touch it." German MPs tell @haaretzcom how an Israel advocacy ecosystem is influencing Berlin's policy on Gaza, after a new @rosaluxstiftung report maps it for the first time. & much more: haaretz.com/world-news/eur…

meanwhile, Netanyahu is telling the English-speaking world that widespread settler violence and the displacement of 65+ Palestinian villages since 2023 is simply "150 juvenile delinquents" ... a jump from his Dec. 31 count of 70 haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

💥#Breaking: For the first time in Israeli history, the Council for Higher Education is advancing a motion that will block academic institutions from taking political stands; will not be able to strike (!!!) and their leaders will lose the right to make political expressions; students and professors will be able to express themselves "only privately." Academic protest leaders say "The essence of this move is to impose terror on those who think independently."

🧵🧵@haaretzcom is hiring for several reporting jobs as part of our U.S. expansion — each of which is a truly unique opportunity to tell the greater story of Israel and Jews in America. Rare good journalism news! haaretz.com/2026-01-28/ty-…

Israeli forces and three masked, plain-clothed individuals demolished Palestinian homes in the West Bank's northern Jordan Valley, despite Israel's High Court ruling earlier this week that demolitions there must be frozen until further notice. haaretz.com/west-bank/2026…

Wrote about the controversy over Committee to Protect Journalists revising its causalities list, and how people are using it as a cover for the fact that Israel is still the deadliest country in the world for journalists. @haaretzcom haaretz.com/israel-news/ha…

@ArnoRosenfeld @Bsamuels0 !!! so excited that you're joining us, looking forward to working together from afar 🫡

I’m thrilled to be joining Haaretz as they build out their coverage of the U.S. and to dig into the U.S.-Israel relationship at a pivotal moment (*and* to get to work with the excellent @Bsamuels0) haaretz.com/us-news/2026-0…

Some professional news — I’ll be leaving the @jdforward in mid-July. I’m excited for a new opportunity, but also sad to be leaving the Forward, which remains an essential source of independent Jewish news at a crucial time for just that. More soon.

Qusai Tariq Abu Tebah, a 24-year-old student from Khan Yunis, documented his family's survival through 12 displacements, the loss of two siblings and the destruction of his home. He tells Haaretz: 'I wanted the book to be the witness that does not die' haaretz.com/life/books/202…

I spent an afternoon in a Bedouin community near Taybeh, following this settler around as he circled a shed with two small children inside, throwing rocks at it, attempting to cut water pipes, and driving his herd of camels to ravage the olive trees.
