Israel said it shared “smoking gun” evidence with Biden administration officials that Hamas militants were operating out of a building in the Gaza Strip that housed media outlets that was reduced to rubble by Israeli rockets, according to a report on Sunday. President Biden spoke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, a discussion that included the bombing of the building, and Israel showed Biden and other American officials the intelligence behind their decision, the Jerusalem Post reported on Sunday. “We showed them the smoking gun proving Hamas worked out of that building,” the newspaper reported, citing a source close to Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi. “I understand they found the explanation satisfactory.” In a readout of the call from the White House, Biden reaffirmed “Israel’s right to defend itself against rocket attacks from Hamas and other terrorist groups in Gaza. Biden also “raised concerns about the safety and security of journalists and reinforced the need to ensure their protection.” An Israeli airstrike destroyed the 12-story building in the Gaza Strip that contained the offices of the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other news outlets an hour after the Israeli military ordered the building be evacuated. AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said he was “shocked and horrified” by the attack. “This is an incredibly disturbing development.” The US was the only country to ask about the bombing of the building, the Jerusalem Post reported “From an analysis the Foreign Ministry did [Sunday], 80 percent of the 90 countries we spoke to in recent days released official statements supporting Israel’s right to defend itself. They aren’t calling to stop the operation,” a ministry source told the newspaper. Ashkenazi also spoke to over 30 foreign ministers. “We’re still in a positive place when it comes to our legitimacy to act,” the Jerusalem Post quoted the source. “There is very clear support for the Israeli stance that the terrorism crossed a line.” Israel Defense Forces said the building housed news agencies, “which the terrorist organization Hamas hides behind and uses as human shields.” “The terror organization Hamas deliberately places its military assets in the heart of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip. Prior to the attack, the IDF warned the civilians who were in the building and gave them sufficient time to evacuate,” it said. https://nypost.com/2021/05/16/israel-gave-us-evidence-of-hamas-operating-out-of-building/?

Military says it struck the homes of Yehiyeh Sinwar, the most senior Hamas leader in Gaza, and his brother. The Israeli military said it destroyed the home of Hamas’s top leader in Gaza amid its ongoing bombardment of the Palestinian enclave. The attack targeted the homes of Yehiyeh Sinwar, the most senior Hamas leader in Gaza, and his brother Muhammad, another senior Hamas member. An AFP news agency witness confirmed Sinwar’s house The Israeli military said it destroyed the home of Hamas’s top leader in Gaza amid its ongoing bombardment of the Palestinian enclave. The attack targeted the homes of Yehiyeh Sinwar, the most senior Hamas leader in Gaza, and his brother Muhammad, another senior Hamas member. An AFP news agency witness confirmed Sinwar’s house had been hit. ‘ On Saturday, Israel bombed the home of Khalil al-Hayeh, a senior figure in Hamas’s political branch, saying the building served as part of the group’s “terrorist infrastructure”. There were no immediate reports if any of the targets were killed. Members of Hamas have largely gone into hiding since the most recent escalation, which began on Monday. Speaking to pro-Palestinian protesters in Doha, Qatar on Saturday night, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the group would persist. “The resistance will not give in and will always be on top of the mountain, carrying the sword and shield for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, God willing,” he said. “This is the besieged Gaza … 15 years under siege from every direction, this is Gaza today.” The Israeli army said it also carried out strikes targeting Hamas tunnel systems. Hamas and Islamic Jihad armed groups acknowledged 20 fighters have been killed since the fighting broke out, while Israel said the number is higher. Continued bombardment More than 170 Palestinians, including at least 47 children, have been killed in the Gaza Strip in seven days of Israeli attacks. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces have killed at least 13 Palestinians. Israel has reported 10 dead, including two children, from the thousands of missiles fired by Hamas, many of which were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system. There has also been widespread inter-communal violence across Israel amid the escalation. Early on Sunday, Israeli warplanes struck several buildings and roads in central Gaza City. The airstrikes punched a crater that blocked one of the main roads leading to al-Shifa hospital, the largest medical centre in the Strip. The head of internal medicine at the hospital was also killed in Israeli attacks, according to Gaza’s ministry of health. Since the conflict began, Israel has levelled a number of Gaza City’s tallest office and residential buildings, alleging they house Hamas military infrastructure. On Saturday, Israeli missiles demolished the 11-story al-Jalaa Building, which housed the offices of Al Jazeera and the Associated Press. Hamas began firing rockets at Israel on Monday following crackdowns on protesters opposing the expulsion of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem and subsequent raids at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The United Nations Security Council meets later on Sunday to discuss the worst outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence in years. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/16/israel-destroys-home-of-most-senior-hamas-leader-in-gaza?

Tehran, Iran – Israel should expect more attacks on its interests in the future, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces warned, days after a rocket launched from Syria landed near an Israeli nuclear reactor. Mohammad Bagheri said on Sunday Israel believes it can hit targets on Syrian soil and launch attacks at sea without repercussions. “Certainly efforts undertaken in recent days and efforts in the future that will endanger their interests will bring them to their senses, and the future of the resistance front is bright,” he told reporters. Bagheri said he had no comment on who was behind recent attacks, but added he was confident “the resistance front will give the Zionists a fundamental response”. Iran’s army on Sunday showcased seven new military “achievements” that it said included several types of land-based and drone-mounted enemy radar identifiers and disruptors. The commander’s comments come amid months of increased tensions between Iran and Israel, which has openly opposed talks in Vienna to restore Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that would see harsh United States sanctions lifted. Asked how Iran will respond if Israel continues to attack its interests, Bagheri on Sunday did not comment on the nature of the Iranian response, but said “the Zionist regime will not rest easy”. An oil tanker was targeted by a suspected drone attack late Saturday close to a refinery in Syria. Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency, which has ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, denied reports the ship was Iranian. Iranian media widely covered a missile that was launched earlier this week from Syria and targeted an area near Dimona, where an Israeli nuclear reactor is located, triggering air raid sirens.

Palestinian Authority foreign minister denounces Israel sending vaccines to foreign allies as ‘political blackmail’. By Linah Alsaafin 25 Feb 2021 The Palestinian Authority (PA) has condemned Israel’s promise to send coronavirus vaccines to far-away countries while ignoring the five-million-strong Palestinian population living kilometres away under its military occupation as an “immoral measure”. On Thursday, Honduras received its first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines from Israel, after Israeli media reported earlier this week the government’s intention to send vaccines to the Central American country, in addition to Guatemala, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Israel’s Kan Public Broadcasting reported that 100,000 Moderna vaccines will be shipped to 15 allies, as well as several countries in Africa that have strong or growing ties with Israel. Guatemala followed the United States’s controversial decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem last year, while Honduras has promised to do the same. Hungary has set up a trade mission office in Jerusalem, and the Czech Republic has pledged to open a diplomatic office in the city as well. The PA’s minister of foreign affairs, Riyad al-Malki, said Israel’s decision to provide vaccines to countries in exchange for political concessions is a form of “political blackmail and an immoral measure”. In an interview with Voice of Palestine radio on Thursday, al-Maliki said the decision “confirms the absence of morals and values” of Israel. “We will carry out an international campaign to confront this exploitation of the humanitarian needs of these countries,” he said. Coronavirus cases in occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip have reached more than 203,000. At least 2,261 people have died from the virus, and on Wednesday, PA Health Minister Mai al-Kaila said the number of coronavirus cases has been increasing sharply. “The number of positive tests exceeded 20 percent in the occupied West Bank, and 9 percent in the Gaza Strip,” she told a local radio station. The occupancy rate in hospitals in the occupied West Bank is the highest since the start of the pandemic, al-Kaila added, at 80 percent. Vaccine soft power Yara Asi, a post-doctoral scholar at the University of Central Florida who studies health and development in conflict-affected states, called out Israel’s vaccine soft power. “To use the promise of life-saving medicine to pressure low-resource nations to potentially move embassies or make other complex political decisions is political cynicism of the highest regard,” she told Al Jazeera. “These transactions also allow Israel to provide some vaccines to Palestinians under the same auspices of ‘charity’, further muddling their legal duties as an occupying power and treating Palestine as though it’s just another poor country that needs help, and not a territory in which Israel has almost complete economic and political control.” Under the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel as an occupying power must ensure “the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics”. UN officials and human rights groups have said Israel is an occupying power responsible for the wellbeing of the Palestinians. Israel said that under interim peace accords from the 1990s, it has no such obligations. It has already supplied vaccine doses to more than half of its 9.3 million people in just less than two months, making it the world leader in the vaccination drive to inoculate populations. However, despite announcing last month that it would deliver 5,000 doses of vaccine to the PA, only 2,000 have been received so far. Additionally, after Israel initially blocked a shipment of the Russian vaccine intended for the Gaza Strip, the blockaded coastal enclave received 1,000 two-dose Sputnik vaccines last week. It separately received 22,000 Sputnik vaccines from the United Arab Emirates but health officials in Gaza said they need 2.6 million doses to inoculate all people over the age of 16. “Israel’s hand picking of countries to help based on whether it sees a political benefit to such help is something else entirely,” Asi said. “To do this while elderly and high-risk Palestinians living literally miles away await vaccines that, for most Palestinians will not come for months or even in 2021 at all, is blatant disregard for the five million people living under Israel’s occupation for more than 50 years.” US Senator Bernie Sanders has condemned Israel’s move to send vaccines to other politically aligned countries before distributing them to Palestinians. “As the occupying power, Israel is responsible for the health of all the people under its control,” Sanders tweeted on Wednesday. “It is outrageous that [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu would use spare vaccines to reward his foreign allies while so many Palestinians in the occupied territories are still waiting. Not politically beneficial’ Objections have also been raised within the Israeli government, but issues are centred on technicalities rather than a responsibility to prioritise inoculating Palestinians under Israeli occupation. According to Israeli daily Haaretz, Defence Minister Benny Gantz asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately halt the process of sending coronavirus vaccines to foreign countries – and to consult with the security cabinet before undertaking such decisions. “The vaccines are the property of the State of Israel and when you said that ‘unused vaccine doses have accumulated,’ while most of the population of Israel has not yet been vaccinated with the second dose, is false,” said Gantz in a letter to Netanyahu, the national security adviser and attorney general. Netanyahu, who is up for re-election on March 23, has staked his political success on Israel’s successful vaccination drive. Asi pointed out that the UN-backed COVAX programme – designed to provide poorer countries with vaccines at the same time that rich countries receive them – is integral to ending this pandemic, but operates with a degree of “equity and nondiscrimination”. “Essentially, the message is that providing vaccines to Palestinians is just not politically beneficial enough to make a priority,” she explained. “And Netanyahu has gambled that, with just a month until a tough election, it is worth weathering the global condemnation Israel is receiving for ignoring Palestinians for his own political interests.” https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/25/political-cynicism-israel-vaccine-delivery-to-countries-slammed
