Ok this might be the weirdest story I’ve ever reported on, involving: • A totally fabricated “exclusive” • A suspected pro-Netanyahu influence campaign • An author whose biography is entirely made up What on earth is going on at @JewishChron ? 972mag.com/jewish-chronic…

Nobody better represents Israeli politics today than Itamar Ben-Gvir: He may be the most brazen of the nation’s leaders, but his ideological spirit is found throughout its government, and beyond | Ben Reiff theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Itamar Ben Gvir’s conduct is entirely deserving of the censure it has drawn across Israel’s political spectrum, including from Foreign Minister @gidonsaar. Ben Gvir represents an extreme fringe, and his mistreatment of detainees is abhorrent, wholly unjustifiable and antithetical to the liberal democratic principles at the heart of Israel’s founding and the values that LFI upholds. His antics yesterday only further demonstrate why Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to bring him into government was a catastrophic mistake.
גלעד קריב@KarivGilad

Itamar Ben Gvir is a failed, extreme and incompetent Minister. His despicable acts today have sparked outrage amongst most Israelis. He does not represent Israel. He does not represent Israeli values. He is a disgrace to Judaism and Zionism. And soon he will be out of office.

The Israeli government’s response to global outrage over Ben Gvir’s taunting of flotilla activists was to claim he’s “not the face of Israel.” Except, he very much is – and it is high time the international community woke up to that reality. My latest. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Israel’s powerful settler movement is normalising the idea that the country should conquer new territory. And the media are helping them do it. Maya Rosen and @bentreyf spoke with us about how the notion of a ‘Greater Israel’ went mainstream. ▶️ Full report youtu.be/vmpAA3Sebf4

🚨Exclusive: The Trump admin created this road map for the first 100 days of the new Gaza technocratic committee (NCAG) last Jan 112 days have passed & 0.00% of this plan was achieved. Not a single item progressed even 1% NCAG remains a gov on paper b/c Israel wants it that way Multiple NCAG members expressed intent to resign, but were asked to stay Israel is conditioning any progress on NCAG's entry into Gaza or reconstruction on Hamas & all Palestinian factions accepting absolute surrender & total disarmament of every single weapon they have down to pistols & tasers (all without Israeli withdrawal from Gaza) Trump's High Representative to Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, fully embraced this Israeli condition & told Palestinian factions to accept the proposal or else Israel would be absolved of all its obligations under the Trump plan & would get a free hand to resume its full-scale assault on Gaza This maximalist proposal is deliberately designed to get Palestinians to reject it, in order for Israel to get its way Here, I reveal the full details of Mladenov's proposal & why it's deliberately unworkable: 972mag.com/gaza-disarmame…

In the Gaza Strip, left devastated by war, the daily battles are now with rats, urban weasels and other pests spreading diseases. Social media footage show newborn babies and the sick and elderly after being attacked by rodents. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"Much of what they do now isn't directly fighting Hezbollah, but systematically destroying buildings in southern Lebanon. 'The only mission is to continue the destruction,' one officer said. 'There is no other mission.' The IDF believes this systematic destruction of Shi'ite villages will prevent villagers from returning home." haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…

Dozens of Israeli settler activists breached the border into Syria a short while ago, before being escorted out by the army. The activists, who called themselves the Bashan Pioneers, say they barricaded themselves in a building on the outskirts of the Syrian town of Hader until the Israeli government approves settlements in Syria. According to the IDF, some 30 activists entered Syria by around half a kilometre. Troops then took the activists back to Israel and handed them over to the police.

Israel is now effectively annexing territory in southern Lebanon as it did in Gaza, and is busy destroying the villages inside it despite the ceasefire

‘There was permission to kill 300 people as collateral damage.’ Israeli intelligence whistleblowers expose the ‘non-human’ targeting system in Gaza, where strikes are approved in minutes, as more than 70,000 have been killed in Gaza since October 7th.

It is regrettable that you felt the need to accuse us publicly of stealing your work and misusing the photos when we agreed to all of your reasonable requests promptly and tried repeatedly to resolve further misunderstandings privately, with no response.

Hi Hadeel, all the personal photos we received from the podcast producers have been removed — we understood from them that you and Talal had consented to their use, but evidently there was a miscommunication along the way, for which we again apologize. 🧵
Hadeel@gazawia

two years ago i gave an interview to a podcast. i trusted them with my story and access to my archives as background. they worked hard to get the story out, and in the process, 972 picked up the story. however 🧵

The Paraguay Scheme: Israel’s secret plan to deport Gazans in the ‘70s A new podcast series lifts the veil on the Mossad’s failed effort to expel 60,000 Palestinians soon after occupying Gaza. 60 years on, Israel's methods remain eerily similar. @bentreyf 972mag.com/paraguay-schem…
