Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning began with the American magazine Foreign Policy, which discussed Iran’s position on the ongoing war between Israel and the Gaza Strip, which heralded the outbreak of a direct confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv. However, despite the letter written by Iranian officials to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, to persuade him to engage in the conflict in support of Hamas, The possibility of an expanded regional war is low, and the reality of Iranian strategic thinking is more cautious than slogans. A report by the American magazine reviewed at least 7 reasons why Iran is likely to avoid starting a war with Israel on behalf of Hamas.

First: The report stated that Iran cannot mobilize Iranian society to engage in a new war as it did during the war with Iraq in the 1980s, when it was the continuous mobilization of human waves, among other factors, that resisted the Iraqi army and forced Baghdad to withdraw from Iranian territory. . The report added, “After decades have passed, society’s support for the political regime has declined,” pointing to the recent demonstrations in Iran, the economic crisis resulting in part from the sanctions led by Washington, and the escalation of discontent among the youth and the middle class.

Second: The report stated that the moderate movement within the Iranian government warned against direct Iranian interference in the war, adding that “the war in Gaza caused the deepening of political divisions in Tehran.” According to the assessments of Iranian extremists, the destruction of Hamas is automatically linked to the subsequent collapse of Hezbollah and, ultimately, to launching a military attack on Iran, which is why they support the targeting of American bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian proxies. However, the report pointed out that this view greatly contradicts the view held by moderate officials, especially Zarif, who has constantly warned of the destructive consequences of Iran’s potential involvement in a war with the United States.

According to former Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, if Iran takes a more extreme position on Gaza, it could spark a deadly conflict with the United States, which Israel would welcome. Thirdly, the report pointed out that “Israel’s clear failure to deter the Hamas attack on October 7th does not change Tehran’s strategic calculations vis-à-vis Israel,” adding that despite Israel’s reliance on high-tech defense technology such as the Iron Dome defense system, it has directed Hamas dealt a major military and intelligence strike against it, thus destroying its policy of deterrence.

He pointed out that “this does not change Iran’s view of Israel or the power dynamics in the region, and that although the Hamas operation destabilized Israel’s long-standing deterrence strategy, it does not provide Iran with the opportunity to challenge Israel using missile force.” The report continued that, on the contrary, Iran may believe that Israel feels that restoring deterrence is an existential priority for which it is worth taking an exceptional military or political risk. Fourth: Contrary to popular opinion, neither Hamas nor even Hezbollah are agents of Iran, and what is more accurate is to consider them as allies of Iran as non-governmental forces, according to the report, which added that “although Hamas has aligned its actions with Iran, its approach may differ from it.” This was notably the case during the Syrian Civil War when Hamas supported Sunni rebels opposed to Syrian President Assad.

Fifth: The report indicated that Moscow and Beijing, two of Iran's strategic partners, did not express their full support for Hamas, indicating that Iran sought an alliance with China and Russia as part of its policy of looking towards the East, and therefore it would not want to spoil its relations with these two countries. According to the American report, Iran is following a policy in Gaza similar to the one it adopted after observing the Chinese-Russian wait-and-see approach when the Taliban took over Kabul two years ago, pointing out that Tehran’s goal is to avoid isolation in major international crises. Sixth: The report spoke of the existence of a deep belief among decision-makers in Iran that the Arab sheikhdoms in the Gulf would welcome a large-scale war between Iran and Israel, ruling out the possibility that Iran hopes that the Arab countries will sever their relations with Israel as a result of a broader war.

Foreign AffairsThe Egyptian Army Begins Constructing Dirt Berms On Egypt’s Borders With Gaza by SummaryChannel(op): 5:17pm On Dec 06, 2023
The Egyptian army begins constructing dirt berms on Egypt’s borders with Gaza, the disappearance of Abu Ubaida, and a dangerous leak to Netanyahu.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the British newspaper the Financial Times, which quoted military analysts as saying that the extent of the destruction in Gaza is equal to what was completely destroyed in all German cities during World War II. The newspaper said in a report titled “Israeli bombs raining on Gaza” that Benjamin Netanyahu requested more American bombs to destroy Hamas, as it described it. The newspaper added that Netanyahu told a group of local government officials, according to a recording obtained by the “Israel Hayom” newspaper: “We need three things from the United States: munitions, munitions, and munitions.”

Military analysts told the newspaper, citing estimates of damage to urban areas, that the devastation inflicted on northern Gaza in less than seven weeks is close to the devastation caused by the massive bombing of German cities over years during World War II. “Gaza will also be included as a place name that refers to one of the heaviest conventional bombing campaigns in history,” said Robert Pape, an American military historian and author of “Bombing to Win.” The newspaper pointed out that, in contrast, over the course of two years, between 1943 and 1945, the Allied bombing of 61 major German cities led to the destruction of an estimated 50% of their urban areas, according to Babe. A 1954 US military review estimated that 7,100 tons of Allied munitions were dropped on Dresden, severely damaging 56% of non-industrial buildings, half the homes, and killing about 25,000 people. The newspaper pointed out that one of the reasons for the extent of the destruction is the munitions used by the Zionist entity. The Israeli occupation army did not publish public information, but the pictures it publishes daily show its planes taking off loaded with munitions that were identified to the Financial Times by explosives experts. The newspaper said that some munitions are very accurate, which can help limit collateral damage. Among them are 250-pound precision-guided small-diameter bombs, which, because of their relatively small size, “inherently reduce the likelihood of collateral damage,” according to the US Air Force. The attack helicopters also carried laser-guided “Hellfire” missiles, the mainstay of American urban combat against ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria, and “fire-and-forget” Spike missiles, traditionally Israel’s weapon of choice for precise, targeted killings.

The newspaper spoke with Janina Dale, professor of global security at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, where she said: “It is striking how many times the Israeli army was able to obtain bombs weighing 2,000 pounds.” For his part, Mark Garlasko, a military advisor to the Dutch organization PAX and a former intelligence analyst at the Pentagon, said, “The power of these bombs, enhanced by a global positioning system that turns them into “smart bombs” or so-called Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), is so enormous that even the survivors From the explosion they said they felt like they were “surfing on liquid Earth.” Garlasco added that the only reason he thinks about why it is used is that the Israeli occupation army is allegedly trying to destroy Hamas’s tunnel network.”

He continued, saying: “But what is striking is its widespread use.” Military analysts said that the second reason for the high level of destruction was the speed and intensity of the Israeli bombing campaign, as well as relaxed targeting rules that may have allowed a greater number of civilian casualties to occur. The British newspaper reported that in just the first two weeks of its campaign, the occupation army used at least 1,000 air-to-ground munitions per day, according to estimates by John Ridge, an open-source intelligence analyst and munitions expert.

The Israeli military responded by saying it would take a different approach in the south, using data to identify densely populated areas and calculate evacuation routes as well as sharing maps indicating where people should flee. More than 15,000 Gazans died before Israel began its southern offensive last week, according to Palestinian officials in the Hamas-controlled area. Israel claims this includes up to 5,000 Hamas fighters. By comparison, 12,000 civilian deaths were recorded in the first nine months of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. “By all accounts, Gaza is already a severe campaign of civilian punishment,” said military historian Pape. “It will go down in history as one of the deadliest operations ever conducted using conventional weapons.”

On the other hand, the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights obtained special photos showing the Egyptian army forces establishing dirt berms east of the city of Rafah, and along the Egyptian border with the Gaza Strip. The Foundation, a non-governmental human rights organization, published: independent; Concerned with monitoring the human rights situation in the Sinai Peninsula, a picture of high dirt barriers, behind which buildings and communications towers appear.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.

Starting with the official Israeli Broadcasting Authority, Kan, which published an audio recording of the head of the Shin Bet Security Service, Ronen Bar, in which he said, “The mini-ministerial council set goals for the intelligence services, which are to eliminate Hamas, and we are determined to do that. It is our Munich.” Barr refers to the series of assassinations launched by Israel against representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organization at the time after the attack carried out by the “Black September” organization at the Olympic Games in September 1972, in which 11 athletes were killed. These assassinations, called “The Wrath of God,” were carried out on the instructions of the then Prime Minister, Golda Meir. But the Palestinians responded with retaliatory operations targeting an officer in the Israeli foreign intelligence service, Mossad, in Europe. The operations and counter-operations were then called the “Ghost War.”

Barr added: “Everywhere, in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Turkey, or Qatar, and everywhere (Hamas leaders will be pursued).” He considered that "it will take several years, but we will be there to be ready to do it." He admitted that the Shin Bet failed in its mission before the October 7 attack, but it is improving and learning from lessons and failures and has put this into practice. He stated that the threats facing Israel in recent years are unprecedented, but many of them are unknown to the Israeli public. The assassinations that followed the Munich operation in 1972 represented the starting point in its emergence as a general Israeli policy and not just isolated operations as in the time before that date. It seems that the matter faces obstacles, and the first of these obstacles was embodied in a statement reported by Reuters, on Monday evening, in the reaction of one of the countries hosting these people.

The agency quoted a Turkish intelligence official as saying: Turkey warns of “serious consequences” if Israel tries to pursue Hamas officials. This means that any Israeli attempt to assassinate Hamas leaders abroad may create a problem with their host countries, especially since some of them have great relations with Israel, such as Turkey. The attempted assassination of movement leader Khaled Meshaal in Jordan in 1997 led to great tension in the relationship between Tel Aviv and Amman. The second obstacle is that Hamas leaders are spread across many countries and not in one country. Some of them are in Turkey, others in Qatar, and a third group is in Lebanon, and there are reports of the presence of some of them in distant countries in the Far East, such as Malaysia.

On the other hand, the Israeli official broadcasting authority quoted Egyptian sources as saying that Cairo’s plans for the “day after” the war in the Gaza Strip include integrating the Hamas movement into the Palestinian security services. These Egyptian plans come within the framework of general ideas that have been put forward in the region since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7th. It was also reported that the plans include Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas surrendering a large portion of his powers to a government with broad technocratic powers headed by Salam Fayyad. Salam Fayyad's name is repeated in the Israeli media to lead such a government, and now by Egyptian officials, but it has previously been mentioned during the recent period, specifically in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, citing Saudi officials.

PoliticsAmerica Sends Its First Warning To Egypt After The Recent Military Move By The by SummaryChannel(op): 8:56pm On Dec 04, 2023

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The episode focuses its time on the report published by the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal about Russia’s request to recover the engines of attack helicopters that Cairo had obtained from Moscow. The episode considers the leak of this information a veiled threat from the administration of US President Joe Biden to the Egyptian state not to undertake such actions. This step exposed American intelligence.

The Wall Street Journal had revealed that Russia is working to recover parts of defense systems that it exported to countries such as Pakistan, Egypt, Belarus and Brazil, as it tries to compensate for the huge amounts of weapons that were depleted in the war in Ukraine. The newspaper explained, in its report, that Russia had requested crucial helicopter engines from Egypt, Brazil, Pakistan, and Belarus. She added that last April, a delegation of Russian officials visited Egypt and asked the head of the Egyptian regime, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, to return more than a hundred helicopter engines to Russia, which Moscow needed.

The same source added, citing information from three knowledgeable people, that Sisi agreed, while deliveries of about 150 engines are expected to begin within the next month. This was at a time when the official spokesman for the Egyptian government refused to comment. In the same context, the newspaper explained that over the course of a year, a number of talks were held between Russia and officials from Pakistan, Belarus, and Brazil to try to obtain engines for Russian attack and transport aircraft, adding: “Russia spent decades building its arms trade, and now they are secretly returning to Their customers are trying to buy what they sold to them.”

Military analyst, Konrad Muzyka, said, “Russia is seeking to regain the initiative in the battle with Ukraine, although it is not clear whether the new supplies will give Moscow the resources it needs to increase its attacks,” noting that: “We have no knowledge of the extent to which they are using the stockpile to increase the pace of attacks.” Attacks or just continuing at the current pace?

The source adds, “Russia has also requested from Pakistan at least four engines for previously sold Mi-35M helicopters,” while the Pakistani Foreign Ministry denied that it had received a request from Moscow. Also, “Moscow asked Brazil to buy back 12 Mi-35M military helicopter engines.” While an official at the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “The country rejected this, in accordance with its policy of not providing weapons to any side in the conflict.”

The episode also links these new leaks to the leaks of American soldier Jack Teixeira last April, part of which was published by the American newspaper The Washington Post related to Egypt. He said that American intelligence intercepted signals from Cairo that reported the existence of an Egyptian plan to support Russia with 40,000 Grad missiles. According to the document, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi ordered the Minister of Military Production, Engineer Major General Mohamed Mohamed Salah El-Din, to produce about 40,000 Saqr 45 missiles, which is a modified version of the Russian B-21 Grad missile, to support Moscow in the war that has been raging in Ukraine for more than a year. .

The response was immediate from Salah al-Din, who confirmed his intention to operate Military Factory 18 in Abu Zaabal around the clock to meet Russian needs. The Washington Post quoted an American official, whose name was not revealed, that the American administration has not yet monitored the implementation of the plan by Cairo. The same newspaper also quoted Chris Murphy, a representative in Congress from the US Democratic Party, as saying that the White House must review its relationship with the Egyptian regime if the latter’s intention to support the Russian side with missiles is proven true.

The Al-Aqsa Flood Operation is presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning is with the Israeli army, which published a map dividing the Gaza Strip into “blocks” (squares), each bearing a number, explaining its movements after the end of the temporary truce period, on Friday morning, and the resumption of its operations against the Hamas movement. The Israeli army divided the Gaza Strip into blocks into two parts. The northern part includes Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, Jabalia, Beach Camp, Al-Rimal, Sheikh Ajlin, Al-Sabra, and Al-Zaytoun. As for the southern part, it includes Al-Bureij, Al-Maghazi, Al-Nasr, Deir Al-Balah, Al-Qarara, Al-Nazareth, Al-Jalaa, Al-Katiba, Al-Amal, Bani Suhaila, Al-Mawasi, Al-Muharrat, and Khan Yunis.

Residents of Jabalia residing in the following blocks: 1772, 1808, 1811, 961, 963, 760... In order to preserve your safety, we call on you to evacuate your homes immediately through the Haifa and Khalil Al-Wazir axes and go to the known shelter centers and schools in the Al-Daraj and Tuffah neighborhoods and west of Gaza City.” He continued. : “In the southern Gaza Strip area: Residents of Khirbet Khuza’a, Abasan, Bani Suhaila, and Ma’an... Residents of Bani Suhaila residing in Blocks 217, 218, 219, 220, 42, 45, 50... In order to preserve your safety, we call on you to evacuate your homes immediately and go to the shelter centers.” Known in Rafah... Residents of Al-Qarara residing in the following blocks: 39, 224, 2250, 2260, 2270, 2280, 2351, 132, 136, 137, 138, 139: For your safety, we call on you to evacuate your homes immediately and go to the known shelter centers. In Rafah and to the humanitarian area in the Al-Mawasi neighborhood.

On the other hand, the Israeli "Alma" Center for Research and Education stated that "Lebanese Hezbollah is not interested in a war that it did not start after Hamas carried out the October 7 attack, but the party's intention to invade Israel is just a matter of time." The Alma report, a non-profit and independent research and education center specializing in the security challenges facing Israel on its northern border, added that “Hezbollah’s Radwan unit is fully trained and capable of launching an incursion into the Galilee at any moment.” Tal Perry, head of research at Alma, said, “The decisive question within Hezbollah today is not whether an attack on the Galilee should be launched, but rather when it will be done.” The researchers noted in the report that “on October 7, Hamas essentially borrowed The infiltration plan was carried out by the Al-Radwan unit and carried out by its forces along the southern border with the Gaza Strip.”

They explained that Hamas embarked on this path independently of Hezbollah for reasons that are not yet clear. According to the report, residents of the northern region do not enjoy adequate protection, and despite recent efforts made by Israel to strengthen the northern border with more walls and surveillance measures, there are still parts along the border that have not been developed, which may facilitate infiltration.

The report stated, “The events of October 7 proved once again that any physical or technological barrier will inevitably be breached. The mountainous terrain along the Lebanese border represents a greater challenge than the flat terrain along the Gaza border, and allows for more covert movement, and Hezbollah is well aware of the terrain.” He knows how to navigate it.” Given the large-scale mobilization of IDF reserve forces deployed along the borders of Lebanon and Syria over the past eight weeks and the military's operational and intelligence vigilance, Alma's report considers that Hezbollah's element of surprise has now been compromised. However, the researchers assert that “even today, at any moment, if Hezbollah chose to do so, it could independently implement the plan to infiltrate Israeli territory with a limited force from the Radwan unit.”

The Lebanese Hezbollah carried out 9 operations against various Israeli army sites along the border extending more than 120 kilometers between Lebanon and the occupied territories, including two attacks on the Ruwaisat Al-Alam site in the Lebanese Shebaa Farms.
On the other hand, Israeli occupation aircraft launched 3 raids on the outskirts of the Naqoura area, the first of their kind since the ceasefire. Clashes with machine guns also took place between Hezbollah members and Israeli occupation soldiers stationed near the Al-Matli settlement.

Foreign AffairsRevealing Israel's True Intention In The Gaza Strip And A Human Flood On Egypt by SummaryChannel(op): 3:10pm On Dec 02, 2023
Revealing Israel's true intention in the Gaza Strip and a human flood on the Egyptian border Is the Egyptian army preparing?

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with Reuters, which quoted unnamed sources as confirming that Israel informed several countries of its desire to establish a buffer zone on the Palestinian side of the Gaza Strip borders to prevent any future attacks on it as part of proposals regarding the Strip in the post-war period.

The initiative does not indicate that the Israeli attack, which resumed on Friday after a seven-day truce, is near the end, but it shows that Israel is communicating with several countries as it seeks to determine the situation in Gaza in the post-war period. No Arab country expressed its willingness to manage Gaza in the future, and most of them strongly condemned the Israeli attack, which killed more than 15,000 people and destroyed large areas of urban areas in the Strip.


Reuters quoted a "senior regional security official" as saying: "Israel wants to establish this buffer zone between Gaza and Israel from north to south to prevent any infiltration or attack on it by Hamas or any other militants." In response to a question about the idea of establishing a buffer zone, Ofir Falk, foreign policy advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in statements to Reuters: “The plan contains more details than that.

It is based on a three-level operation for the next day (to eliminate) Hamas.” Explaining the Israeli government’s position, he said that the three levels include “destroying Hamas,” “disarming Gaza,” and “eliminating extremism” in the Strip. He added: “ "The buffer zone may be part of the disarmament process."

Israel indicated in the past that it was considering establishing a buffer zone inside Gaza, but the sources said that it is now presenting it to several countries as part of its future security plans for Gaza. Israeli forces withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005. An American official, who requested anonymity, said that Israel had “put forward” the idea of a buffer zone without specifying to whom it had proposed it, but the official reiterated Washington’s opposition to any plan that would reduce the area of Palestinian lands.

Jordan, Egypt and other Arab countries have expressed fears that Israel will expel the Palestinians from Gaza in a repeat of the confiscation of land from the Palestinians when declaring the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The Israeli government denies any such goal. A senior Israeli security source said that the idea of a buffer zone “is being studied,” adding, “It is not clear at the present time how deep it is (the buffer zone) and whether it may reach one or two kilometers or hundreds of meters (inside Gaza).” Any incursion into the Gaza Strip, which is about 40 kilometers long and between 5 and 12 kilometers wide, would result in its population of 2.3 million people being trapped in a smaller area.

On the other hand, the Wall Street Journal reported that the United States supplied Israel following the Hamas attack on October 7 with heavy fortress-piercing bombs and tens of thousands of ammunition and artillery shells. The newspaper quoted American officials, who requested to remain anonymous, on Friday, saying that the United States had provided Israel with about 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery ammunition.

Al-Qassam targets Israeli vehicles in the Gaza Strip with drones

Among what was supplied were 100 BLU-109 bunker-buster bombs, weighing about 875 kg. It is noteworthy that the supplies began shortly after the Hamas attack on Israel, and have been continuing in recent days. The United States did not officially reveal the total amount of weapons and ammunition it provided to Israel. It is noteworthy that Israel launched a military operation in the Gaza Strip in response to the Hamas attack on Israeli cities and settlements on October 7. After a humanitarian truce was declared to exchange detainees and bring humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, combat operations resumed in Gaza on Friday.

Starting with the US administration led by President Joe Biden. It seeks to put pressure on Israel to take measures and procedures aimed primarily at protecting Palestinian civilians, especially those who fled the Israeli aggression on the northern Gaza Strip and settled in its south. Officials in the administration of President Joe Biden announced that they had already discussed with their counterparts in Israel how to protect thousands of civilians who fled to southern Gaza, if the occupation forces targeted the region after the end of the truce with Hamas.

They pointed out that the Biden administration discussed various options with Israeli officials, most notably the transfer of civilians who went south at the beginning of the war to the north, once the military operations there ended, especially since a large part of the areas in the northern Gaza Strip were destroyed due to Israeli air strikes, according to the American network. .

Based on an analysis of satellite images conducted by independent researchers, the American network confirmed that returning civilians to the north would represent a major humanitarian challenge, with an estimated 40% to 50% of buildings in northern Gaza damaged.

Based on an analysis of satellite images conducted by independent researchers, the American network confirmed that returning civilians to the north would represent a major humanitarian challenge, with an estimated 40% to 50% of buildings in northern Gaza damaged. The American network attributed the keenness shown by White House officials to increase humanitarian aid to northern Gaza, to the collapse that this region is witnessing, which prompted many American officials to also demand the establishment of areas in the south, clearly understood to be protected for civilians.

The US administration is intensifying its efforts in this regard, as it is aware that Israel is expected to begin focusing its military operations in southern Gaza, based on intelligence information indicating that the Hamas leadership has fled to that region, according to an American official told CNN.

Although it is not clear whether Israel will respond to the clear American pressure regarding the northern Gaza Strip, White House officials confirmed to CNN that they sensed an awareness on the Israeli side during the talks that what the occupation did in the northern Gaza Strip cannot be repeated in its own areas. South.

In a parallel context, the unconditional American support for Israel collided with voices calling for more pressure on the ongoing war machine in the Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of more than 15,000 Palestinian martyrs, who fell as a result of the Israeli military operation that began with the events of last October 7.

The New York Times newspaper highlighted the demand from voices affiliated with the Democratic Party in Congress, which called for mortgaging American aid that Capitol Hill is currently discussing, for more Israeli pledges to protect civilians in Gaza and keep them outside the scope of the ongoing war in the Strip. The newspaper reported that there is a clash between Democrats in Congress and the administration of US President Joe Biden, over an effort by the leftist movement within the party, to link the conditions for granting emergency security aid to Israel, to the protection of civilians in the Gaza Strip, which the newspaper described as “the latest reflection of the growing disagreement within the party regarding Support Israel.

Overall, this debate represents a clear departure from the long-standing practice on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers have agreed for decades to give Israel huge sums of military funding with significant concessions on terms, but the war's high civilian death toll has increased. The events taking place in Gaza prompted a large number of Democrats to express their concern about how US dollars are used by Israel, according to the newspaper.

The Al-Aqsa Flood Operation is presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning of the end of the humanitarian truce between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). Today, the Gaza Strip witnessed violent bombardment by Israeli warplanes. Israel resumed bombing various areas of the Gaza Strip, north and south, shortly after its army announced that it would resume fighting against Hamas after the seventh day of the truce between the two parties in the Gaza Strip, today, Friday. Our correspondent reported that 9 rocket salvoes were launched from Gaza towards the surrounding settlements since this morning, while sirens were sounded in southern Israel, amid reports of a rocket landing in Ashkelon. Israeli Army Radio said that warplanes were launching raids throughout Gaza, stressing that its planes were currently bombing Hamas targets in Gaza.

Dozens of people were killed and wounded as a result of the Israeli raids on Gaza today. CNN reported, citing informed sources, that the extension would be announced “as soon as Hamas receives the following list of names of prisoners who will be released.” The sources expressed their optimism about extending the truce, but said that "nothing is certain until the list is delivered." For its part, Haaretz newspaper reported that there is a dispute between Israel and Hamas over the list of hostages who will be released to extend the current truce, noting that Israel insists that the list of detainees to be released include women and children, according to what was initially agreed upon. Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 12 reported that the Israeli War Council is not satisfied with the list of detainees sent by Hamas, and they believe that it “does not meet Israeli standards.”

In the same context, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to resume the war in Gaza until three goals were achieved, after his meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. “I just concluded a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, shortly after Hamas killers killed people here in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu said. He added: "I told him that it is Hamas itself. It is the same Hamas that committed the terrible massacre on October 7, and the same Hamas that is trying to kill us everywhere." The Israeli Prime Minister continued: “I told him: We swore, we swore to eliminate Hamas. Nothing will stop us,” according to Ofir Gendelman, Netanyahu’s spokesman. The Israeli Prime Minister affirmed: “We will continue this war until we achieve three goals: liberating all hostages, completely eliminating Hamas, and ensuring that no threat like this emerges from Gaza again.”

At the same time, a US State Department statement said that Blinken "reaffirmed US support for Israel's right to protect itself from terrorist violence in compliance with international humanitarian law, and urged Israel to take all possible measures to avoid harm to civilians."
The statement added: “Secretary Blinken and Prime Minister Netanyahu discussed efforts to secure the release of all remaining hostages. They also spoke about the need to accelerate the delivery of vital, life-saving humanitarian aid to Gaza.” Blinken stressed "the need to take into account the humanitarian and civil protection needs in southern Gaza before any military operations there, and urged immediate steps to be taken to hold settler extremists accountable for acts of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank."

In another context, the Israeli newspaper "Israel Hayom" revealed a new plan being prepared by the US Congress linking the provision of large financial aid to a number of Arab countries, led by Egypt, in exchange for accepting refugees from Gaza. The Hebrew newspaper added that the plan, whose authors are trying to keep it out of media circulation, was presented to senior members of the House of Representatives and the Senate from the Democratic and Republican parties. The Israeli newspaper explained that the plan is being promoted by US Representative Joey Wilson. The American plan indicates that "Israel seeks to avoid harming civilians, but Hamas does not allow refugees to leave, and Egypt does not agree to open its borders." According to the American plan being prepared, “the only moral solution is to ensure that Egypt opens its borders and allows refugees to enter.”

The plan proposes that $1 billion in foreign aid be allocated to refugees from Gaza who will be allowed to enter Egypt. According to the plan, Egypt should not be the only country that must receive refugees, but rather Iraq and Yemen will be included in the plan in exchange for about a billion dollars in American foreign aid, and Turkey will receive more than 150 million dollars.

Finally, documents, emails and interviews show that Israeli officials obtained Hamas' combat plan for the October 7 attack more than a year before it occurred, but Israeli military and intelligence officials considered it "extremely difficult" for the movement to implement it. The document consists of approximately 40 pages.

Foreign AffairsThe Hijacking Of The Second Israeli Ship Israel Gives A Final Warning To America by SummaryChannel(op): 11:57pm On Nov 26, 2023
The hijacking of the second Israeli ship..Israel gives a final warning to America to begin military action against Iran

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning is from the Gulf of Aden, where unknown persons seized a ship in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen carrying a shipment of phosphoric acid, days after the Houthis pirated the “Galaxy Leader” tanker operated by a Japanese company. As of the moment of writing the news, no party has claimed responsibility for the hijacking of the ship, but a senior Yemeni security official did not rule out in a phone call with Asharq Al-Awsat that the Houthi group was involved in the operation. The tanker hijacked by trained militants was apparently on its way to the United States. Reuters quoted an American defense official as saying that there are indications that unidentified gunmen seized the “Central Park” ship in the Gulf of Aden today, a ship that Israeli media said was owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer, and that it carries the Liberian flag. Embrey, a maritime security company, confirmed that an “unknown force” seized the tanker owned by Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer, through his company, Zodiac Maritime. While the ship's crew numbered 22 people. Zodiac, the owner of the hijacked ship off the coast of Yemen, said that it had appointed a team to manage the crisis at its headquarters in London, noting that the ship was carrying quantities of phosphoric acid.

On the other hand, former Assistant to the US President for National Security, John Bolton, stated that Israel allowed the Hamas movement to achieve a major victory by agreeing to a prisoner exchange deal and a humanitarian truce. “[This decision] has benefits, but there are also costs,” Bolton wrote in the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

In this case, Hamas achieved a major victory. It is not yet clear whether this deal will set a final negative precedent for Israel, but it casts doubt on whether Israel is able to achieve its legitimate goal of eliminating the terrorist threat posed by Hamas. The former US Presidential aide confirmed that “militants will exploit A four-day truce to rest, rearrange their ranks, and transfer some people and property to Egypt and Israel through underground tunnels that have not yet been discovered, as well as preparing the southern Gaza Strip for a new phase of the Israeli attack. By setting traps and ambushes with which they will strike IDF soldiers.”

Bolton criticizes the Israeli and American authorities for agreeing to Hamas’ request to limit drone flights over the Gaza Strip during the truce, which deprives it of much intelligence information about what the militants are doing, and also indicates that part of the humanitarian aid that will be sent to the Gaza Strip may It ends up in the hands of Hamas. He added: "From a military perspective, the biggest challenge facing Israel will be the opportunity it will lose by stopping its successful attack midway. Hamas's strategy is to take advantage of any pause, no matter how short and for whatever reason, to achieve a permanent ceasefire."

He continued: "Israel may not succeed on the first try, but Israel will come under increasing pressure to concede. The serious danger is that Israel's determination to destroy Hamas may be undermined. The greater danger is that this has already begun to weaken support from the United States." As Bolton points out, the Biden administration, which initially chose a strongly pro-Israel rhetoric, is forced to modify it under pressure from the left wing of the Democratic Party. As the US presidential elections approach next year, this issue will become increasingly sensitive for Biden.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the role of US President Joe Biden in completing the prisoner exchange deal between Israel and the Islamic resistance movement Hamas. Axios, citing an American official, reported that US President Joe Biden, during a call with the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad, asked for help in resolving the crisis related to the prisoner deal between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement. The Israeli Prison Service announced that it had received a “green light” to begin releasing Palestinian prisoners. This comes after the Palestinian Hamas movement confirmed that it responded to "the appreciated Egyptian-Qatari efforts that moved throughout the day to ensure the continuation of the temporary truce agreement."

Earlier, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid Al-Ansari confirmed that “after a delay in implementing the release of the prisoners, the obstacles were overcome through Qatari and Egyptian contacts,” referring to the second phase of the prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel. In turn, Cairo News Channel, which is close to Egyptian intelligence, reported that “Egypt succeeded in ending the prisoner exchange crisis in the Gaza Strip and Palestinian prisoners after it faltered for technical reasons.” The channel pointed out that "the implementation of the second phase of the prisoner exchange deal will be completed as it was scheduled." The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced the postponement of the release of Israeli prisoners in response to Israeli violations of the truce and exchange agreement, referring to the issue of the number of relief trucks and the issue of seniority in releasing Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

On the other hand, the White House requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons and ammunition to which Israel is permitted to access from US weapons stockpiles stored in Israel. This step to lift restrictions was included in the supplemental budget request submitted by the White House, which was sent to the Senate in Last October 20. The proposed budget says: “This request would allow the transfer of all categories of defense materials (military materials).”

The request relates to unknown weapons stockpiles in Israel that were established by the Pentagon for use in regional conflicts, but which Israel has been allowed to access in limited circumstances - the same limits that US President Joe Biden is seeking to remove. In a statement to The Intercept, John Rahming-Chappell, a legal fellow at the Center for Civilians in Conflict, said: “If approved, the amendments will create two steps to bypass restrictions imposed on the transfer of American weapons to Israel.” The War Reserve Allies of Israel (WRSA-I) was created in the 1980s to supply the United States in the event of a regional war, and is the largest link in a complex network of caches of virtually foreign American weapons. According to American laws, stocks are subject to high security oversight and are subject to a set of stringent requirements.

Under the conditions stipulated in these requirements, Israel was able to draw on the stockpile and purchase weapons at no or little cost under the guise of “effective support for US military aid.” Through WRSA-I, Biden is looking to lift almost all significant restrictions on the stockpile and transfer of weapons to Israel, with plans to remove restrictions on obsolete or surplus weapons, waive caps on annual spending on replenishing the stockpile, and remove Gun restrictions and reduced congressional oversight.

All of the changes in Biden's budget plan will be permanent, except for raising the spending cap, which is limited to fiscal year 2024. The changes will come in an already secretive arms trade relationship, as The Intercept recently reported. While the administration provided pages of detailed lists of weapons provided to Ukraine, for example, its disclosure of weapons provided to Israel does not warrant discussion. Last week, the American website “Bloomberg” obtained a leaked list of weapons provided to Israel, and revealed that it included thousands of Hellfire missiles - the same type that Israel widely uses in the ongoing air strikes of the Gaza Strip.

Josh Paul, a former official who served in the State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, said the impact of lifting restrictions on transfers to Israel - such as eliminating the requirement that weapons be part of surplus weapons - could harm US interests by reducing The United States' readiness for its conflicts in the region. Paul, who resigned last October over US arms aid to Israel, told The Intercept that “by dropping the requirement to declare such material as excess as required by law, this will also increase the current pressure on American military readiness to provide more weapons to Israel.”

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.

The beginning of the continuing prisoner exchange operations between the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, and Israel. The Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip returned Israeli prisoners, as part of the second batch of the truce agreement, which came in accordance with the conditions of the resistance and the exchange deal with Palestinian prisoners. The return of this batch of Israeli prisoners comes after the second day of the 4-day truce, after the Israeli occupation authorities were forced to submit to the conditions of Palestinian resistance. The Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades documented its handover of the second batch of prisoners it had to the Red Cross.

The video showed Al-Qassam resistance fighters escorting the prisoners to cars belonging to the International Red Cross, while the latter waved to the resistance fighters. The Al-Qassam Brigades decided to delay the return of the second batch of Israeli prisoners until the occupation complied with the terms of the agreement, related to the entry of relief trucks into the northern Gaza Strip, accusing “Israel” of not allowing the entry of 200 aid trucks daily, which is the number stipulated in the agreement. Al-Qassam said that the postponement of the prisoner handover was also due to the occupation’s failure to adhere to the agreed upon prisoner release standards.

On Friday, the first day of the truce, 10 Thai prisoners were released from the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip as part of the first batch, and Iran facilitated their release based on the request of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidency of the Parliament in the country, according to what the British newspaper “The Telegraph” reported, and what was confirmed by a spokesman. Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Kanaani. It is noteworthy that the spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Majed Al-Ansari, reported that he was able to “overcome obstacles, through Qatari-Egyptian communications,” after delaying the release of prisoners due to Israeli obstruction.

Al-Ansari said that 39 Palestinian prisoners will be released in exchange for the release of 13 Israeli prisoners in the Gaza Strip, in addition to 7 foreigners, outside the framework of the agreement. In turn, the Hamas movement said that it responded to the Egyptian-Qatari efforts, which were active throughout the day, in order to ensure the continuation of the temporary truce agreement. The movement confirmed that “the Egyptian and Qatari sides conveyed the occupation’s commitment to all the conditions stipulated in the agreement.” Following the return of the first batch on Friday, the Israeli Wallah website quoted relatives of the Israeli prisoners as saying that the prisoners “did not go through anything harsh, and they received humane treatment.” Relatives of the Israeli prisoners added that “there were no horror stories they experienced as they expected,” adding that “they were not beaten, from the moment they were captured.”

In another context, the Associated Press reported, citing an American official, that a ship owned by an Israeli billionaire was targeted in the Indian Ocean, adding, “The ship was attacked by a suspected Iranian drone in the Indian Ocean while Israel is waging a war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.” ". On the other hand, Al-Mayadeen channel quoted private sources as saying, “The ship that was targeted in the northern Indian Ocean received a hit that caused it to catch fire.” In the same context, the head of the Arab Affairs Department at the Israeli Kan channel, Roi Kayes, confirmed that “no confirmation has been received from Israeli authorities about the authenticity of the incident or the ownership of the ship by an Israeli.” The Ansar Allah Houthi group had detained an Israeli ship in the Red Sea, stressing that it would continue to carry out military operations against Israel until the war on the Strip stopped. The Yemeni military media published scenes showing the moment the Israeli ship was seized.

After the first ship that was seized by the Houthis and the second ship that was also targeted, this is the third Israeli ship that was targeted.. A drone targets an Israeli cargo ship in the Arabian Sea in international territorial waters off the coast of Yemen..

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning of the prisoner exchange process between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel. The Palestinian movement began handing over the first group of hostages it held during its attack on Israel on October 7 and transferring them to the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip to hand them over to the Hebrew state. In this context, a spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the International Red Cross received 24 civilians who were detained in the Gaza Strip.

Majid Al-Ansari added in a post on X that a number of Thai citizens were released outside the scope of the truce agreement between Israel and Hamas, and they are on their way out of Gaza with the Red Cross. The Israeli army said in a statement, “The released hostages underwent an initial medical evaluation inside Israeli territory,” adding, “Israeli army soldiers will continue to accompany them as they head to Israeli hospitals, where they will be reunited with their families.” A list published by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office showed that among the released hostages were three girls and a boy between the ages of two and nine, in addition to six women over the age of 70.

On the other hand, the Qatari official confirmed the release of 39 Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons. A source close to the Palestinian movement said, "Half an hour ago, the prisoners were handed over to the Red Cross, which handed them over to the Egyptian crew and the Israeli crew assigned to receive them at the Rafah crossing." A second source confirmed this information. In addition, a source reported that "an additional number of Thai foreigners were released as a gesture from Hamas." Thai Prime Minister Srita Thavisin said in a post on the “X” website, “I was informed by the security side and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that 12 Thai hostages have already been released.”
On Friday, a four-day truce entered into force between Israel and Hamas. The chief Israeli military spokesman said on Friday evening that the Israeli forces are taking advantage of the four-day truce with Hamas that was agreed upon to allow the return of some hostages to prepare for the next phase of their operation in the Gaza Strip. Daniel Hajari said in a regular press briefing, "During the days of the truce, the Israeli army will complete its preparation and preparedness for the next stages of the war." Qatar was the main mediator, along with Egypt and the United States, and reached a truce agreement for four renewable days, during which 50 hostages held in Gaza would be exchanged for 150 Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons.

On the other hand, the Associated Press quoted an American official that a ship owned by an Israeli billionaire was targeted in the Indian Ocean. The agency added, "A container ship owned by an Israeli billionaire was attacked by a suspected Iranian drone in the Indian Ocean while Israel is waging a war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip." For its part, Al-Mayadeen channel quoted private sources as saying, “The ship that was targeted in the northern Indian Ocean received a hit that led to it catching fire.”

Meanwhile, Roi Kayes, head of the Arab Affairs Department at the Israeli Kan channel, said, “No confirmation has been received from Israeli authorities about the authenticity of the incident or the ownership of the ship to Israel.” The Ansar Allah Houthi group had detained an Israeli ship in the Red Sea, stressing that it would continue to carry out military operations against Israel until the war on the Strip stopped. The Yemeni military media published scenes showing the moment the Israeli ship was seized. The Commander of the Yemeni Navy, Major General Muhammad Fadl Abdul Nabi, announced that the naval forces will continue to carry out military operations against Israeli ships and interests until the targeting of Gaza stops.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning of the Egyptian/Arab boycott campaigns for American brands against the backdrop of the latter’s support for Israel. Reuters published a detailed report on the impact of the campaigns on the damage to the branches of these brands in some Arab capitals, led by Cairo, Amman, Kuwait, and Rabat. Reuters wrote: “In Cairo, in the middle of the evening one not long ago, a worker was cleaning tables in an empty branch of the McDonald’s restaurant chain.

Branches of other Western chains of fast food restaurants in the Egyptian capital appeared to be without customers. As the boycott campaign began to spread, its calls circulating on social media expanded to include dozens of companies and products, prompting shoppers to shift towards local alternatives. In Egypt, where there is no opportunity to protest in the streets due to security restrictions, some see a boycott as the best or only way to make their voices heard.

Reham Hamed (31 years old), who lives in Cairo and boycotts fast food chains and some American detergents, said, “I feel that even if I know that it will not have a terrible impact, it will not have a drastic effect on the war... This is the least we can do.” As peoples, no one feels that his hands are stained with blood.”

McDonald's said in a statement last month that misleading information about its position on the conflict "appalled" it and that its doors are open to everyone. The party holding the Egyptian concession confirmed that it was owned by Egypt and pledged to provide 20 million Egyptian pounds ($650,000) in aid to Gaza.

In Jordan, residents supporting the boycott sometimes enter McDonald's and Starbucks branches to encourage the few customers to move elsewhere. Video clips of what appear to be Israeli soldiers washing clothes with detergents of well-known brands have spread, urging viewers to boycott them. “No one buys these products,” said Ahmed Al-Zaro, customer purchases account clerk at a branch of a large supermarket chain in the capital, Amman, where customers chose alternatives to local products.

In Kuwait City, a tour last Tuesday observed that seven branches of Starbucks, McDonald's, and Kentucky Fried Chicken were almost completely empty of customers. A worker at a Starbucks branch who refused to reveal his identity confirmed that there were other American brands that were also affected. In the Moroccan capital, Rabat, a worker at a Starbucks branch said that the number of customers decreased significantly this week. Neither the worker nor the company provided any numbers. Starbucks did not respond to a request for comment about the campaign. In a statement on its website updated last October, it said it was a non-political organization and denied rumors that it provided support to the Israeli government or military.

In another context, a report broadcast by the British Financial Times newspaper said that low-ranking Israeli soldiers submitted memorandums to their leaders in the Israeli intelligence services days before the attack of last October 7, warning them of the preparations of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas to carry out a massive attack on the settlements surrounding the Gaza Strip, but the response He downplayed these estimates, describing them as a fantasy scenario. These testimonies are further evidence of the widespread intelligence negligence within Israeli intelligence regarding what happened in the first week of last October, and will necessarily be presented when the current Prime Minister and his senior statesmen are tried following the end of the war in the Gaza Strip.

Foreign AffairsIsrael Is Applying Military Pressure To Release The Prisoners by SummaryChannel(op): 8:18pm On Nov 23, 2023
Israel is applying military pressure to release the prisoners after the truce was postponed, and Iran is threatening again

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning of the postponement of the humanitarian truce between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) until Friday morning after the mediators in Egypt, Qatar and the United States had announced that it would take effect today, Thursday. Israeli reports stated that the fundamental reason behind postponing the implementation of the truce agreement between Israel and Hamas is the movement’s desire to stop any Israeli military movements inside the Gaza Strip during the truce period. The newspaper "Israel Today" said that the main obstacle to implementing the truce is that Hamas demanded, at the last minute, the cessation of any Israeli military movements in Gaza during the truce period. Among the details of the truce, which was scheduled to begin Thursday morning, is a clause stipulating different treatment between the south of the Gaza Strip and its north.

Agence France-Presse had quoted a Palestinian source familiar with the armistice agreement discussions as saying that the postponement of the entry into force of the agreement “is related to the last-minute details related to details about the names of the prisoners held by the movement, and the mechanism for handing them over.” For his part, the Israeli National Security Advisor, Tzachi Hanegbi, said on Wednesday evening that none of the prisoners detained in Gaza would be released before Friday, while the truce was expected to take effect and the first release operations would begin on Thursday.

An American official at the White House said that while the movement provided the names, gender, and nationality of most individuals, there was a lack of information about some of the 50 hostages, which complicated and delayed their release. It is noteworthy that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a prisoner release agreement earlier this week, provided that the expected 4-day ceasefire would lead to the return of 50 detainees held by the movement to Israel in exchange for 150 detained Palestinians.

In another context, Bloomberg quoted a consulting company as saying that the Israeli government’s spending on the military operation in the Gaza Strip will reach $48 billion. According to estimates by Leader Capital Market, a consulting company, “The war will cost Israel’s budget about 180 billion shekels ($48 billion) in 2023-2024, and Tel Aviv will bear two-thirds of the total costs, while the United States will pay the rest.”

Bloomberg also indicated that the continuation of hostilities costs Israel's budget about $270 million per day. Earlier, the agency reported, citing an official in the Israeli Ministry of Finance, that Israel will face an increasing budget deficit over the next two years, which may reach 9% of the size of its gross domestic product. The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's published a special report on the Israeli economy in which it lowered its expectations for Israel's rating from "stable" to "negative."

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the Turkish newspaper Sabah, which said that the Turkish intelligence service foiled an attempt by the Israeli intelligence service (Mossad) to kidnap a Palestinian engineer in Istanbul after he managed to obstruct the operation of a battery in the “Iron Dome” system. “Sabah” reported in a report that a malfunction occurred in the operation of the “Iron Dome” system in the years 2015-2016, and that the “Al-Qassam Brigades,” the military arm of the “Hamas” movement, exploited the malfunction through engineer Omar A., who was 24 years old at the time. Omar studied software engineering at the Islamic University in the Gaza Strip, worked in the Ministry of Interior in Gaza, and carried out hacking operations on smartphones based on the Android program. In 2019, Omar received an offer to work for a Norwegian software company, but he doubted the offer and rejected it. In March 2020, he moved to Istanbul via Cairo, and since then he has become an observer by the Mossad, according to the newspaper.

An agent named Raed Ghazal, through a WhatsApp call and claiming to represent the French company Think Hire, tried to recruit Omar to work in this company, and the two met face to face, in June August 2021. The newspaper added that the task of recruiting Omar was transferred from Ghazal to another Mossad agent. His name is Omar Shalabi, and the two agents’ goal was to kidnap the Palestinian engineer and transfer him to Israel. Shalabi offered Omar $10,000 to write software, and the French company transferred the amount through a Mossad agent named John Foster. The newspaper added that the task of kidnapping Omar was transferred to another Mossad agent, Nicola Radoni (44 years old), last June, who met Omar in Istanbul and offered him a salary of $5,200 if he worked from Turkey, and $20,000 if he agreed to move to Brazil to work. Of which.

He added that the work will be within a crew that includes people, and he mentioned their names: Abdel-Bar Muhammad Kaya, Fouad Osama Hijazi, and a Moroccan citizen named Youssef Dahmana Ghadeer, according to the newspaper. During his meeting with Omar, Radoni claimed that he had connections in the immigration department in Istanbul, and asked him to send his passport and address immediately, claiming that he would be able to get him out of Turkey. At this stage, according to the newspaper, the Turkish National Intelligence Service entered the line and made it clear to Omar not to do anything. The current Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, headed the National Intelligence Service at the time. The newspaper added that Omar traveled to Malaysia for 15 days, at the end of September last year.

Before his travel, Omar received instructions from the Turkish Preventive Security Service at National Intelligence, which asked him to put an application on his phone that would allow him to know his whereabouts at any time. The newspaper added that the Mossad kidnapped Omar on September 28 in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, and interrogated him in a building 50 kilometers from the capital. The newspaper indicated that a Mossad team investigated Omar for 36 hours, including video chats from Tel Aviv, and tried to understand how the engineer was able to disable Iron Dome, which encrypted language he used, and how he hacked phones based on Android software carried by government employees and Israeli soldiers. According to the newspaper, during the Mossad team’s investigation of Omar, the Turkish National Intelligence Service used its Malaysian counterpart, who stormed the investigation site and rescued Omar. Sabah reported that 11 people were arrested in Malaysia as part of this case, and that Omar was returned to Istanbul and is staying in a secret apartment belonging to the National Intelligence Service.

In another context, the New York Police said that they arrested Stuart Seldowitz, a former official in the National Security Council under former President Barack Obama, after a series of video clips that were widely circulated on social media and showed him using hate-filled and hostile language. For Islam against an employee working inside a food truck in New York City. According to the NYPD, 64-year-old Seldowitz was arrested on preliminary charges of hate crimes, second-degree aggravated harassment, stalking causing fear, and stalking at work, and it is not yet clear what charges he will ultimately face when the case reaches the district attorney's office. in Manhattan and CNN could not immediately identify Seldowitz's lawyer.

Before his arrest was announced, Seldowitz confirmed to CNN in an email that he was in the videos, which were recorded by a vendor from inside a food cart on Manhattan's Upper East Side and apparently recorded over multiple days. When asked for additional comment on the videos, Seldowitz said: “I am happy to talk (Wednesday), about what was missing (cut) from the video and what (the seller) said before that.” Seldowitz appeared in videos posted on the Internet this month, mocking Islam, and mocking the man about his residency status in America. He accused him of supporting Hamas and referred to the ongoing war between Israel and the movement. Seldowitz said to the seller in one of the video clips: “You support the killing of young children.” The seller replied, saying: “You kill children, not me.” Seldowitz replied: “If we kill 4,000 Palestinian children, "You know what? It wasn't enough!"

The spy who informed Israel of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation... and the beginning of the demobilization of the Israeli army and the negotiation of the prisoners

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3TMCeEnvJc

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The episode focuses its time on the news that the Gaza Strip is about to enter a humanitarian truce and conclude a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and the Islamic resistance movement Hamas. US President Joe Biden said he believed that a deal to release the hostages held by Hamas would be reached soon. Reuters quoted US President Joe Biden as saying, “I believe that reaching an agreement to secure the release of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza is imminent.” John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said that the United States believes that an agreement to release the hostages is imminent. The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation also said, “A prisoner exchange agreement is near... and Hamas has communicated a proposal in recent days, and from what we have learned, Israel has agreed to accept the conditions and demands... and now the ball has moved to Hamas’ court again, and Hamas must show responsibility and seriousness to reach the agreement.” ".

There is talk about Hamas releasing about 50 Israeli detainees, most of whom are mothers and children. She added that when talking about their children, what is meant is those who are under the age of eighteen or over the age of eighteen and have not served in the Israeli army. In return, Israel will release Palestinian women and children who have been languishing in its prisons, some of them for many years, and often not affiliated with Hamas, according to some leaks. In addition to the exchange, there is a five-day truce during which batches of Israeli detainees will be released every day, in addition to the fifty who will be exchanged with Palestinian male and female prisoners. The Washington Post reported, citing informed sources, that Israel, the United States, and Hamas reached a preliminary agreement to release dozens of women and children detained in the Gaza Strip in exchange for a five-day cessation of fighting. She said that it had been agreed to release 50 detainees. The newspaper explained that air surveillance will follow movement on the ground to help implement the truce, which also aims to allow the entry of a large amount of humanitarian aid. The White House denied reaching an agreement. As for the American CNN network, it quoted sources that it did not reveal, the most prominent terms of the deal, which it said were “possible” so far.

She said the items are:
Temporary cessation of fighting for 4 to 5 days.
50 prisoners are being released gradually over the course of 5 days, which is a basic demand of Hamas.

Aid still represents a dilemma, as Hamas wants 500 trucks per day, the same amount of supplies as before the war, which Israel rejects.
There is a proposal to bring in 200 trucks per day, according to information available from parties familiar with the negotiations.

Direct negotiations between Hamas and Israel began a few weeks after the outbreak of the war, according to what was published publicly, but those negotiations excluded Israeli military personnel. The Hamas movement launched a sudden and unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, and captured more than 200 Israelis, and Palestinian factions also captured a number of other Israelis. With the outbreak of war, Hamas said that about 60 Israeli prisoners were killed in air strikes on the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip. But in recent days, the features of an exchange deal between the two parties have begun to emerge, focusing on the release of Israeli civilian prisoners, including women and children, in exchange for Israel's release of Palestinian women and children, some of whom it has been holding for many years.

On top of all that, there is talk of a truce lasting from 3 to 5 days, according to press leaks, in addition to the entry of a large number of aid trucks into Gaza. As for the Qatari mediator, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani said that the most important sticking points that hinder reaching an agreement to release dozens of detainees held by the Hamas movement have now become “very simple.” He added in statements reported by Reuters that these matters are essentially “practical and logistical.” While Hamas did not officially say where the negotiations regarding the prisoner exchange had reached. On the other hand, in recent days, it has been talking about Israeli obstruction of the agreement. At dawn on Monday, a member of the Hamas political bureau, Izzat al-Rishq, said in a statement: “There is no truth to what the media reported attributed to sources in Hamas regarding an exchange deal starting today.” In a press conference held in Beirut, the leader of the Hamas movement, Osama Hamdan, said that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is the one who is obstructing any agreement regarding the release of prisoners. A few days before that, the official in charge of the prisoner file in Hamas, Zaher Jabareen, said that his movement has clear conditions regarding the exchange deal, but it is Netanyahu who is obstructing everything.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with Israeli Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel, who proposed promoting the “voluntary resettlement” of Palestinians in Gaza outside the Strip, pointing out that the idea of returning the Palestinian Authority to control the Strip “has failed in the past and will fail in the future.” The minister, a member of the Likud Party, wrote in an article in the Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post” on Sunday that “the international community must be encouraged to promote the voluntary resettlement of Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, for humanitarian reasons... instead of sending money to reconstruct the Strip,” which

The spark of war broke out on October 7, when Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on Israel, killing about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, including women and children. The movement also kidnapped about 240 hostages, including foreigners, and transferred them to the Gaza Strip. On the other hand, Israel has responded since that date with continuous bombing and ground incursions, which resulted in the deaths of about 13,000 people, most of them civilians, including women and children, according to health authorities in the Palestinian Strip, which has been controlled by Hamas since 2007.

The minister considered that “it is important to provide an opportunity for those looking for a life elsewhere,” adding: “Some world leaders are already discussing the resettlement of refugees around the world, and they say that they would welcome receiving residents from Gaza in their country. This can be supported by a number of countries around the world.” "Especially those who claim to be friends of the Palestinians." Gamliel continued: "This is an opportunity for those who say they support the Palestinian people, to show that this support is not just empty words." The intelligence minister also wrote: “Instead of sending money for Gaza’s reconstruction or the failed UNRWA, the international community can help fund resettlement, helping Gazans build their new lives in their new host countries.” She continued: "This will be beneficial for both sides: for civilians in Gaza who want a better life, and for Israel after this terrible tragedy."

The minister also criticized the idea of returning the Palestinian Authority to ruling Gaza after the end of the war, considering that such a solution "has failed in the past and will fail in the future. It is an option that Israeli public opinion considers illegitimate, and would return us to point zero within a short period of time." In her article, which focused on the future of the Strip after the end of the war, she noted: “We tried many different solutions: withdrawal (from the settlements in the Gaza Strip)... conflict management, and building high walls in the hope of keeping the monsters of Hamas away from Israel.

They have all failed.” Such statements were repeated from Israeli officials, as the Israeli Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said earlier this November, “Voluntary immigration and the absorption of Gaza Arabs into countries of the world is a humanitarian solution that ends the suffering of Jews and Arabs alike.” Smotrich's statements came as a comment on a proposal presented by two members of the Israeli Knesset, that "Western countries accept the residents of Gaza as refugees and resettle them."

Israeli lawmakers, Ram Ben Barak and Danny Danon, wrote an opinion column in the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal on November 13, calling on Western countries to “accept this idea and settle limited numbers of Gazan families, who have expressed their desire to move elsewhere.” ". Commenting on this “proposal,” Smotrich said in a Facebook post: “I welcome the initiative of Knesset members Ram Ben Barak and Danny Danon for the voluntary migration of Gaza’s Arabs to countries around the world,” considering that “this is the correct humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the entire region, after 75 years of Asylum, poverty and risks.

Arab countries had rejected the “forced displacement” of the residents of the Gaza Strip, and described it as a “war crime,” in response to the Israeli army’s request for civilians to move from the north of the Strip to its south.

On the other hand, the episode presents an opinion article by the great American writer David Ignatius, published by the Washington Post, in which he confirms that the Israeli army is running out of time before achieving the declared military goals of its ground operation in the Gaza Strip, which is the elimination of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas. In his analysis, Ignatius points to a new Israeli plan to isolate civilians in Gaza from Hamas fighters by establishing a camp area near the shores of Gaza overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the American Wall Street Journal, which indicated the existence of tension between US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, due to their disagreement over the course of the aggression on Gaza, which has so far led to the martyrdom of 13,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children. The American newspaper said, "Biden and Netanyahu's talks have become more tense as Netanyahu continues to reject longer truce periods" in Gaza. The newspaper quoted American officials as saying that they were concerned about the number of Palestinian casualties and Israel's final plans for Gaza. According to these officials, the Biden administration is struggling to persuade Netanyahu to prevent escalation as the images coming from Gaza grow in momentum. According to the newspaper's sources, the Biden administration is concerned about the potential domestic repercussions of full support for Israel. The sources added that Washington expressed its frustration to the Israeli government regarding the number of civilian deaths in Gaza. In a related context, Biden directed his senior aides to prepare sanctions against Israeli settlers who use violence in the occupied West Bank. Biden directed the preparation of a ban on issuing visas and imposing sanctions on extremist Israeli settlers who attack and displace Palestinians in the West Bank, according to an internal document whose contents were reported to the American newspaper Politico. The government memo orders senior aides such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen "to develop policy options to take swift action against those responsible for violent behavior in the West Bank."
In the same context, the popularity of US President Joe Biden declined to its lowest levels during his presidency by 40%, in light of a large majority of voters rejecting his administration’s approach to foreign policy and the war launched by Israel against the Gaza Strip, according to an opinion poll whose results were published by NBC. American News, Sunday. According to the poll, for the first time, Biden lags behind his predecessor, Donald Trump, in the potential race for the White House, and the decline was more pronounced among Democrats, most of whom believe that Israel has exceeded the limits in its military operations in the Gaza Strip, and among voters between the ages of 18 and 34 years. 70% of them rejected the way the US President dealt with the ongoing war, according to the network. The network quoted Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt of Hart Research Associates, who conducted the poll in cooperation with Republican pollster Bill McInturff at Public Opinion Strategies, as saying that “Biden’s popularity is at its lowest levels during his presidency, and this "It is largely due to the way Americans view his foreign policy actions." While McInturff considered that "the poll is shocking, because of what it shows the impact of the war between Israel and Hamas on Biden." But Horwitt predicted that the US President could bring dissatisfied Democrats and young voters back to his side again, saying: “These people have a proven track record of voting for Biden and the Democrats.” He pointed out that there is plenty of time, and more potential political surprises in the future between now and Election Day in 2024, which may witness the political landscape shifting again. He continued: "The jury verdicts in Trump's trials, unexpected events, both foreign and domestic, and the details of the election campaign, all have the potential to change the status quo." According to the poll, 40% of registered voters approve of Biden's job performance, while 57% oppose him, which represents the lowest level of support for the US president ever, as well as the highest level of opposition ever, since he became president. Although this percentage represents a slight change from last September, when Biden’s support rate reached 41%, what stands out in the new poll is the shift among voters between the ages of 18 and 34 years. In a September poll, 46% of these voters said they approved of the president's job performance, but his approval rating has now dropped to 31% among this group. In another decline for the US President, only 33% of all voters approved of Biden’s handling of foreign policy, which represents a decrease of 8 points from the September poll, while 62% of voters, including 30% of Democrats, expressed their rejection of Biden’s handling of foreign policy. Biden supports foreign policy, and only 34% of total voters approved of the way the US President dealt with the war between Israel and Hamas, compared to 56% who said they did not agree with that. Only half of Democratic voters (51%) say they approve of Biden's handling of the war, compared to a majority of independents (59%) and Republicans (69%) who say they disapprove of it.

Foreign AffairsThe Houthis Hijack An Israeli Ship And Threaten To Seize American Ships by SummaryChannel(op): 8:53pm On Nov 19, 2023
The Houthis hijack an Israeli ship and threaten to seize American ships...a dangerous escalation from Yemen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY4UuCK_CA0

Where did the ship seized by the Houthi group disappear? Our colleague Suhaib Al-Assa sheds light on the transit route of the ship owned by the Israeli businessman before it disappeared in the Red Sea.
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The episode focuses on the news of the Yemeni Ansar Allah Houthi group seizing an Israeli ship in the Red Sea. Reliable sources reported to Al-Mayadeen TV website that “Yemeni naval forces succeeded in detaining an Israeli ship in the depths of the Red Sea.” The sources told Al-Mayadeen that 52 people who were on board the Israeli ship were detained, and that the ship’s crew and those on board are currently under investigation, and their nationalities are being verified by the relevant Yemeni agencies.

An official Yemeni source confirmed that Al-Mayadeen’s news about the capture of an Israeli ship is “true news,” and added: “Wait for what will please you.” The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they would make a statement about the event in the coming hours. This morning, it announced that it "will target all types of ships that carry the flag of the Zionist entity, or that are operated by Israeli companies, or that are owned by Israeli companies, in response to the Israeli aggression against Gaza and the genocide against its people."

In turn, the Israeli occupation army spokesman said, "The hijacking of the ship named 'Galaxy Leader' by the Houthis near Yemen, south of the Red Sea, is a very dangerous event." At the same time, Israeli media said, “The Houthis continue to challenge Israel and take control of an Israeli ship,” confirming that “the ship belongs to the Israeli businessman Rami Unger, and was carrying cars, and made its way from a port in southern Turkey to a port in western India.”

The Israeli media also said that “the Houthis threatened and carried out attacks after they kidnapped an Israeli ship,” stressing that “the process of controlling the ship by the Houthis would constitute a problem for Israeli trade that would be difficult to confront, and would affect the security of cargo shipments, which would increase, so Israel says it is a global problem.” For its part, the American network NBC reported that "initial reports indicate that a helicopter flew over the ship and a number of armed individuals landed on its deck."

It is worth mentioning that the leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Mr. Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, confirmed on Martyr’s Day a few days ago that the Yemeni armed forces would defeat the occupation ships in the Red Sea, and he said: “We will not hesitate to target them, and let the whole world know about this.” He added that the Israeli occupation relies, in its movement in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, on smuggling and camouflage, and it did not dare to raise the Israeli flag on its ships.

He continued, "Our eyes are open to constantly monitor and search for any Israeli ship in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab in particular, and what borders Yemeni territorial waters." Likewise, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that “the Yemeni forces will begin implementing the directives issued regarding the appropriate dealing with any Israeli ship in the Red Sea,” stressing that “the Yemeni forces will not hesitate to target any Israeli ship in the Red Sea,” or "Any place we can reach." The Yemeni armed forces targeted the occupied Palestinian territories several times with ballistic missiles. According to Saree, the armed forces targeted sensitive sites in the Umm al-Rashrash area, Eilat.

The Israeli army responded to the news of its seizure of the ship with a post on the X platform (formerly Twitter) in which it said: “The hijacking of the cargo ship by the Houthis in the southern Red Sea is a very serious incident at the international level.” The Israeli army indicated that "the ship sailed from Turkey, heading to India, with a crew of multiple nationalities on board." The Israeli army said that "there are no Israeli citizens on board this ship and it is not Israeli." The Israeli army stated that "the ship is owned by a British company and managed by a Japanese company," without providing further details.

America develops an alternative plan for Israel's military failure in Gaza and begins forming a rapid intervention force in Gaza

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said that the government had not concluded any hostage or prisoner exchange deal with the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the war on the Strip would continue “until the hostages are liberated and the operation achieves its goals.” Netanyahu explained, during a joint press conference with Defense Minister Yoav Galant and Defense Council Minister Benny Gantz, that “there are several rumors regarding the issue of detainees in Gaza, but so far no deal has been concluded with the Hamas movement regarding them.”

The Israeli Prime Minister indicated that "the war on the Gaza Strip will not stop at the present time," stressing that "there will be a ceasefire only for limited periods, and this will not happen until after the elimination of Hamas in the Strip." For his part, Gantz said: “We have decades to dismantle Hamas, and we do not have time to bring in the kidnapped people, but this does not negate the objectives of the operation, which are to abolish the movement’s rule and destroy its capabilities and leaders wherever they are found.”

Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israeli cities and towns around Gaza on October 7, killing more than 1,400 people and taking more than 240 Israelis hostage, according to the Israeli authorities, while Tel Aviv responded with air and artillery strikes, in addition to a ground incursion, killing more. 12,000 so far, including more than 5,000 children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. Regarding the "Al-Shifa" complex, Netanyahu said, "The international community demanded that Israel not enter the medical complex, but the (Israeli) government refused to do so."

The Israeli Prime Minister stressed that “the United States and the countries of the world are putting great pressure on us, but we will continue the war,” noting at the same time that Tel Aviv agreed to Washington’s request to bring two fuel trucks daily into Gaza. On Wednesday, Israeli forces, backed by dozens of tanks, armored vehicles, and dozens of commandos, stormed the Al-Shifaa complex and began searching the departments and interrogating the people inside them. A soldier shouted in broken Arabic, demanding the surrender of all those over 16 years old, raising their hands above their heads. And leaving the building. Regarding the internal protests from the families of detainees and prisoners, Netanyahu said that he saw the march of the families of the kidnapped, and “I tell them that I am walking with you, and until this moment there is no deal,” explaining that “I requested that the families of the prisoners meet with the war council, in order to see what is happening.” We do it within the council.”

In turn, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said during the press conference that every effort will be made to return the prisoners held by Hamas, noting that the movement is losing leadership headquarters, and we will continue to direct strikes against it. He noted that he met with the families of detainees in Gaza, and informed them that returning them to Israel was a top priority.

On the other hand, ABC reported, citing informed sources, that the administration of US President Joe Biden is working on preparing several plans for prisoner liberation operations in the Gaza Strip. The channel said that although “hostage rescue missions are always risky, and the United States believes that the deal is the best option for releasing large numbers of prisoners, the sources say that tactical plans are being developed for the operation in the event that circumstances change.” The channel indicated that the military or employees of the American security services "will not necessarily participate directly in such an operation, as the forces of foreign countries often implement the action plans that were drawn up with their American colleagues."

The sources confirmed to the TV channel that Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement are considering releasing at least 50 hostages, most of them women and children, in exchange for a truce for several days. Israel informed the Qatari mediators late last Friday that it completely rejects the updated prisoner exchange deal with Hamas, which includes the release of 50 Israeli hostages being held in Gaza. This was reported by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, noting that Israel insists on not separating detained families, and demands the release of all mothers and children detained together. Israel also expressed its willingness to be flexible regarding the number of days of the expected truce to facilitate the release of more prisoners.

Foreign AffairsFinally, The Scene Of The End Of The Israel-hamas War Was Revealed by SummaryChannel(op): 1:46am On Nov 19, 2023
Finally, the scene of the end of the Israel-Hamas war was revealed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYSJVMFJQPI?si=QUv5ToNrj9sfwPsK

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The episode devotes its time to presenting an extensive analysis by American writer Stephen Cook, published by the Foreign Policy magazine website, which specializes in international politics. In his analysis, Cook questions all the scenarios proposed for the end of the current war between Israel and the Islamic resistance movement Hamas. Israel will not be able to manage the Gaza Strip if the war ends. Nor is the Palestinian Authority capable of doing the same as the United States of America desires. The refusal of Egypt and the Arab countries active in the Palestinian cause to administer Gaza or to send armed forces to it spoils one of the most prominent compromises between Israeli and American ideas about the future of the Strip.

In the episode's presentation of the contents of the article, there is a reference to a group of news. Among them is related to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who called for an investigation to be opened at the international level regarding the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip. In a speech he delivered during the 62nd session of the General Assembly of the National Union of Turkish Students in Istanbul, the Turkish President said: “We, along with more than two thousand lawyers, will file a complaint with the relevant authorities against the genocide in Gaza. We will follow the matter until the end, and the price for that will be paid.”

He added: "This crime must be pursued and investigated at an international level, and the oppressors must receive the punishment they deserve." He added: "If every terrorist component kills people as it pleases, using countries such as the United States and Europe to strengthen itself, this means that the global order is completely corrupt." In the same context, President Erdogan said: “At the present time, we are following the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the world, and we are watching together what is happening.” He added, "Do Muslims deserve this? No, but we have mistakes and shortcomings." He continued: "Look, the entire Western world and the Crusader imperialist entity are united in one trench. They are no different from each other." He added: "Unfortunately, I saw all of this during my visit to Germany last night. I saw it during my meeting with the president and the chancellor." He added: "They sleep and wake up and say nothing but Hamas, Hamas, Hamas. What do they accuse it of? Of igniting the situation in October." He continued: "Of course, I told them: 13,000 children, women, and elderly people have been killed by Israel so far. Why don't you talk about that?", noting that "Israel is holding about 10,000 Palestinian hostages." He added: "Let Germany work to release them, and we, in turn, will work to release those detained by Hamas."

On the other hand, President Erdogan referred to Turkey's efforts to evacuate patients in need of surgical operations from Gaza as soon as possible, stressing the continuation of discussions with Egypt in this regard.
This also includes Jordan, which rejected the American/European proposal to send joint Arab forces to manage the Gaza Strip security-wise. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi rejected any possibility of deploying Arab forces in the Gaza Strip after the end of the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian factions since October 7. There were reports of many proposals regarding the fate of the besieged Strip for 17 years after the end of the war, including the deployment of Arab forces to establish stability, as well as a role that the Palestinian Authority might play in its administration. Palestinian factions have controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007. Al-Safadi said during the 19th edition of the “Manama Dialogue Forum,” organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, that “after discussing this issue with many and with almost all of our Arab brothers, no Arab forces will head to Gaza.” Adding that the Palestinians cannot be allowed to view “us as their enemies.” He asked: “How can anyone talk about the future of Gaza, when we do not know which Gaza will remain after the end of the (current) situation?”

“If we want to talk about what should be done in Gaza in the future, we must stop the destruction of Gaza,” Al-Safadi said. He stressed that the priorities for dealing with what the Strip is witnessing are “stopping this war... and allowing humanitarian supplies to enter immediately.” He added: “Once we do all that, there must be a decisive approach to ending this conflict once and for all on the basis of the two-state solution,” considering that “this is the only way to look forward.” For his part, White House Senior Advisor for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk acknowledged during the forum that the situation in Gaza is “horrific” and “unbearable.” Then he added: “The flow of humanitarian aid, fuel, and a ceasefire will occur when the hostages are released.” The UN Security Council called this week for “broad and urgent truces and humanitarian corridors,” but Israel rejects any ceasefire before the hostages are released. Al-Safadi responded to McGurk’s words by saying: “It is unacceptable to link humanitarian truces to the issue of hostages, stressing that Israel has taken 2.3 million Palestinians hostage,” referring to the residents of Gaza.

Jordan mobilizes its forces on the border and Israel's trick to attack Hamas in southern Gaza. Elon Musk is accused of anti-Semitism

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTFkdvuQ0RY
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The beginning is with American businessman Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). After the White House criticized, on Friday, what was considered “a hateful promotion of anti-Semitism” by Musk, major companies announced that they were withdrawing their advertisements from the platform. The American newspaper, The Washington Post, reported that the list of companies that had withdrawn their advertisements from “X” had increased due to the appearance of these advertisements next to “publications supportive of Nazism.” On Wednesday, a user on X wrote a post in which he accused “Jewish communities of spreading hatred against white people,” an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that is very popular among white supremacists. Musk, who has more than 160 million followers on the X platform, commented on the post by saying: “I told the actual truth.”

White House spokesman Andrew Bates said on Friday that “it is unacceptable to repeat a heinous lie in this way,” in a comment on what Musk recently wrote on the “X” platform, according to what was reported by Agence France-Presse. He added: "We condemn in the strongest terms this abhorrent promotion of anti-Semitism and racial hatred, which contradicts our fundamental values as Americans." He continued: "We all have a responsibility to bring people together against hatred, and a duty not to remain silent about anyone who attacks the dignity of his American citizens and undermines the safety of our communities."

The American newspaper "Washington Post" indicated that among the companies that withdrew their advertisements from "X" was "IBM", on November 16, after a report by the "Mediamatters" website indicated that the advertisements of giant companies such as "IBM... Apple and Oracle “appear next to pro-Nazi content.” IBM said in a statement, “The company can never tolerate hate speech and discrimination, and we have decided to immediately suspend all of our advertising on the X platform, and we are investigating this unacceptable situation.” Apple also announced on Friday that it was suspending all advertising on the The Washington Post indicated that Apple is the largest advertiser on X, as it spent about $50 million during the first quarter of 2022. The production and distribution company, Lionsgate, also decided to suspend its advertising on What a company spokesperson told The Washington Post.

The company produced a number of important films, such as “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games.” The other giant company that suspended its advertisements on the platform owned by Musk is Disney, according to what its spokesman announced on Friday. The company's market value is about $173 billion, which indicates the huge amount of advertising that the X platform will lose.

In the Gaza Strip, 200 people were killed or wounded in the bombing by Israeli forces of the United Nations Al-Fakhoura School, which houses thousands of displaced people in the Jabalia camp in the north of the Strip. The Hamas movement said in a statement condemning the massacre committed by Israel: “The Al-Fakhoura massacre is added to the hundreds of massacres committed by the occupation with a green light from the American administration and with impotence and shameful international silence. The neo-Nazis are committing a new massacre at the Al-Fakhoura school affiliated with the United Nations in the Jabalia refugee camp.”

Hamas stressed its intention to remain "on this land and there will be no immigration after today, no matter what massacres and crimes you have done or committed... We will not leave this land and you will be held accountable for your massacre at Al-Fakhoura School and your continued crimes against children and civilians, whether long or short."

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned "in the strongest terms the successive mass massacres committed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, the most recent of which was the massacre at Al-Fakhoura School, full of forcibly displaced people." She added in her statement, "We consider it (the massacre) as new evidence proving that Israel's declared war is against Palestinian civilians with the aim of emptying the entire area of the northern Gaza Strip of any Palestinian presence." The statement stressed, "With this massacre that targeted an UNRWA school, the occupying state directs a new insult to the international community and the United Nations, and belittles all ineffective international demands calling for the protection of civilians."

Earlier today, Israeli artillery targeted Tal Al-Zaatar School, which houses displaced people in the northern Gaza Strip, leaving dead and wounded.

Foreign AffairsWill Saudi Arabia Finally Cut Off Oil As A Pressure Card On Israel by SummaryChannel(op): 3:04pm On Nov 18, 2023
Will Saudi Arabia finally cut off oil as a pressure card on Israel before the Israeli army heads to southern Gaza?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-lJdZu0hME
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
With the intensification of the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding tens of thousands, and in light of the failure of all peace efforts, some have raised questions about the oil card, and why the Gulf countries do not want to use it to push Israel to stop these massacres.
The official response came from the Saudi Minister of Investment, Khalid Al-Falih, who confirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not currently examining the possibility of using oil weapons to pressure a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
Al-Falih told Bloomberg, in response to a question about whether Riyadh would use economic tools, including the price of oil, to pressure to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza: “This matter is not being discussed today. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is trying to achieve peace from During peaceful discussions.
Observers enumerated many reasons why the Kingdom and the Gulf states in general did not propose using this important card, especially in light of the absolute American support for Israel in this war.

On the part of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, who announced that his country’s authorities informed the United States through diplomatic channels of their unwillingness to aggravate the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Abdullahian said in an interview with the British Financial Times newspaper, published today, Friday: “We informed the United States that Iran does not want the war to spread, but any option (the development of events) becomes possible, and the expansion of the conflict becomes inevitable, because of the approach that... The United States and Israel will follow it in the region, and if the crimes against the residents of Gaza and the West Bank do not stop.” According to the Iranian minister, Iran and the United States conducted contacts through the American section of the Swiss embassy in Tehran over the past forty days, during which the possibility of direct discussions between Tehran and Washington was ruled out, according to what the newspaper reported.

Earlier, Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations told Reuters that Tehran would not enter into a direct conflict with Tel Aviv unless Israel launched an attack on Iran. Yesterday, Thursday, the Iranian Foreign Minister denied his country's responsibility for attacks on American interests in Iraq and Syria, stressing that the armed factions that launched these attacks took their own decisions. Armed factions have been targeting bases housing American forces in Iraq and Syria since the outbreak of war in Gaza on October 7th. Regarding the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, Abdullahian said in an interview with CBS News, “We absolutely do not want this crisis to expand, but the United States is increasing the ferocity of the war in Gaza with its great support for Israel.” Abdullahian described the “Al-Aqsa Flood” attack carried out by Hamas on Israel on October 7th as “its legitimate right to self-defense,” but stressed that his country opposes “the killing of women and children anywhere.”

On the other hand, the chief spokesman for the Israeli army said on Friday that Israeli forces will bomb Hamas targets wherever they find them, including in the southern Gaza Strip, while the forces continue their ground operation in the northern besieged Strip. Admiral Daniel Hagari added in a regular press conference, “We are determined to move forward with our operation. This will be anywhere where Hamas is present, including the southern Gaza Strip.” Reuters quoted the spokesman as saying, "It will happen at the time, place and circumstances most appropriate for the army." The Israeli army pushed one and a half million Palestinians to leave their homes in northern Gaza and asked them to go to the south, considering the northern region a field for military operations, as it says that the Hamas movement is concentrating its presence in the north. With the displacement of this large number of Palestinians to the south, many fear that the expansion of military operations in the southern regions will lead to heavy human losses among civilians.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2MRc2Xw6So
Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The episode focuses most of its time on pointing out the escalation of campaigns within extremist groups in Israel about the desire to return to reviving the Israeli Gush Katif settlements inside the Gaza Strip, which Tel Aviv had forcefully evacuated in 2005. The Times of Israel wrote in a lengthy report: “ The campaign to return to the “Gush Katif” settlements - the Hebrew name for the Gaza Strip - escalated in Gaza this week - inside and outside the Israeli army, as artists and rabbis began promoting in their performances in front of the soldiers the restoration of control over the Strip, which prints a discourse that contradicts the goal of the military operation. Pictures of soldiers were revealed. Israelis in the Gaza Strip holding a banner reading “Gush Katif, we are back!”

The "It's all ours...from the Euphrates to Al-Arish" campaign comes after Israeli politician Daniela Weiss, one of the first leaders of the "Gush Emunim" settlements, revealed the "Segal" map - which is the map that reveals all the Jewish settlements in the occupied Arab territories - and stated in an interview with the channel: 14 That not only Gaza is ours, but the entire promised biblical land, from the Euphrates in the north to Al-Arish in Egypt.

Although Weiss initially expressed her personal thoughts, Channel 14 correspondent Shiral Lam said that her and Seagal's ideas are already being translated into action on the ground - and within two weeks a conference will be organized for the nucleus of settlement activists with the aim of working for settlement in Gaza and elsewhere. Video clips showing Ben-Uliel's tribute - in which an Israeli soldier not only disobeys army orders but also sympathizes, during combat, with murderous criminals - were also revealed by journalist and activist for the return of Jews to the Temple Mount (the Temple Mount) Arnon Segal, He wrote, "This is where the Doggett settlement has stood and will stand. What a terrible difference between the misguided leadership of the army and the state and the soldiers in the field."

The Israeli Army General Staff responded to these campaigns by prohibiting the participation of its soldiers involved in the ground invasion of Gaza in any propaganda activities for political projects such as Gush Katif. But starting on the night of October 27 - when Israeli tanks and the Givati and Golani Brigade entered the Strip - a stream of photos emerged showing soldiers carrying Israeli flags inside Gaza, or hanging on some houses, as an occupation of enemy positions (similar to the Six-Day War ), or standing in the shape of the letter “Hayt” around the Israeli flag and singing the national anthem “Hatikvah.”

Some soldiers hung flags on tanks and hung memorial banners for their fallen comrades in battles in the western Negev starting October 7 – an acceptable measure to commemorate the dead and reinforce unity. But some others went further, and filmed themselves planting a tree “for the renaissance of Israel” mentioning the names of the settler who killed the Palestinian Dawabsha family, Amiram Ben-Uliel, and the right-wing activist Ariel Danino, who is administratively detained on suspicion of committing acts of violence against Palestinians.

In a parallel context, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in an interview with ABC News that the White House clearly informed Israel of its refusal to restore the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip. This is what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to in another televised interview with the American CBS network, noting Tel Aviv’s desire to reoccupy the Gaza Strip, but rather stripping it of weapons and what he called terrorism.

Foreign AffairsA Fantastic Offer To Egypt Of $10 Billion To Receive Refugees Of Gaza In Sinai by SummaryChannel(op): 8:42pm On Nov 16, 2023

New Al-Aqsa Flood currency presented in this episode of Samri Channel.

Starting with a report published by Bloomberg, which said that the European Union is accelerating its efforts to deepen its relations with Egypt and help it deal with the worsening repercussions of the conflict between Israel and Hamas on its borders.

People familiar with the matter reported that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is planning to visit Cairo soon in order to advance efforts to support economic development in Egypt and mitigate the impact of the ongoing crisis.

The European Union was already exploring a partnership in this framework, but is currently seeking to accelerate this step given the strategic importance of Cairo, and concerns about increasing refugee flows, including from African countries such as Sudan. EU member states, including Germany and France, support the ongoing effort in this direction, although the timetable and final figures on it are still being prepared, said the insiders, who requested anonymity for the privacy of the discussions.

The plan will include 6 priorities covering the areas of economy, investments, migration, and security. On the economic level, the European Union seeks to explore options with member states in order to help Egypt address its heavy debt burden.

In addition, the Union is set to propose an investment plan aimed at pumping 9 billion euros ($9.8 billion) into sectors such as digital initiatives, energy, agriculture and transportation, interspersed with an investment forum scheduled to be held next spring. The plan also aims to reduce illegal immigration to Europe by assisting Egypt with border management, anti-smuggling measures, and voluntary returns.

The European Commission declined to comment on the matter. After signing a partnership with Tunisia to stop the arrival of migrants and support its economic development, the Commission worked to conclude a broader agreement with Egypt during the past months, given its importance as the most populous Arab country and the largest economy in North Africa. The financially strapped Egyptian economy is facing its worst economic crisis in decades, with debts falling to sub-investment levels, a delay in the date for reviewing the International Monetary Fund program, and a severe shortage of foreign exchange.

Egypt has devalued its currency three times since early 2022, with inflation rising and the pound losing nearly half its value. But von der Leyen may face some thorny conversations about Israeli military operations in Gaza, especially after she was criticized over her trip to Israel last month for not speaking decisively about the need to protect Palestinians.

The Chairperson of the Commission held talks with Egyptian President Sisi
And from Bloomberg to the Hebrew Maariv, which published a lengthy report by Israeli writer Michael Harari under the title: “Worrying cracks in the relationship with Cairo,” in which he said that Tel Aviv must pay attention to its relations with Egypt after the war, and Israel must think very seriously about the consequences of the war. On its relations with Egypt. The Israeli analyst pointed out that October 7 surprised a long series of countries, one of which is Egypt, which considers that the developments of the conflict in the Gaza Strip have direct consequences for it, stressing that unlike previous rounds of conflict in the Gaza Strip, when Egypt was able to put an end to the round of violence. Continuing, things look different this time.

The Hebrew report explained that there are three main factors behind the deep anxiety in Egypt: The first relates to the strength of the Israeli response, which resulted in the largest number of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and a large amount of destruction, perhaps unprecedented, and this relates primarily to the Egyptian street. And fear of internal pressures that have already begun to boil, at a time when presidential elections are expected to be held in Egypt next month. He continued: “The second relates to the fear, which we are not able to express publicly, of course, that Hamas will emerge from the war with great achievements, in a way that strengthens political Islam in the region in general, and in Egypt in particular (even though the Egyptian regime has weakened the Muslim Brotherhood significantly.” Large in recent years), and although there is a certain contradiction between the first and second factors, this tension only leads to the intensification of the strait in which Cairo is located.

He continued: “Thirdly, there is a new development. Reports related to Israel’s interest in immigration from the Gaza Strip to Sinai, including what resembles a (comprehensive deal) according to which Egypt’s burdensome financial obligations are erased in exchange for Egypt’s agreement to receive refugees, but in Cairo, this is being interpreted.” Although it is a solution to the Palestinian problem in Gaza at the expense of Egypt, the Israeli statements, including the Ministry of Intelligence report which stated that the migration of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Egypt serves Israel’s long-term interest, has put Cairo in real turmoil, and President Sisi has stated firmly that Egypt It will not allow this, and that if the Egyptian people call for protecting the national interest, “millions will do so.”

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the US Department of Defense, the Pentagon, which announced that the US warship USS Thomas Hudner in the Red Sea shot down a drone launched from the territory of Yemen. A US Army spokesman said: “We are aware of the incident involving the destroyer USS Thomas Hudner, in which the ship successfully defended itself against a drone while sailing through the Red Sea.” Two American officials told Reuters that the American warship shot down a drone in the Red Sea that was launched from Yemen, in what appears to be only the second time that the United States has dropped projectiles near its warships since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza. The Pentagon spokesman and the two American officials did not disclose whether the drone was armed or how close it came to the ship before it was shot down. Last October 19, a Pentagon spokesman said that the crew of the destroyer USS Carney operating in the northern Red Sea shot down 3 land-attack cruise missiles and drones launched by the Houthis from Yemen.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said on Thursday that Israeli red lines caused a delay in the detainee exchange deal with Hamas. She added that Israel set these red lines after Hamas withdrew from an agreement that required it to release 80 Israeli detainees and reduce the number to only 50. She pointed out that Israel insists on releasing only Palestinian women and not children. The newspaper reported that Hamas refuses to release elderly Israeli detainees after Israel opposed the release of elderly Palestinian men. The American newspaper The Washington Post had quoted a senior Israeli official as saying that Israel and Hamas were on the verge of a deal to exchange detained women and children and announce a 5-day truce to achieve it.

The Israeli official, who requested to remain anonymous, told the Washington Post, “The general framework of the deal is understood,” indicating that the deal may be announced within days if the final details are agreed upon. Israel seeks to release all 100 women and children detained by Hamas, but the first group of those to be released will be smaller.

Hamas has indicated its willingness to release 70 Israeli women and children in exchange for the release of a number of Palestinian women and young men, the number of which is still unknown. But according to an Arab official who spoke to the Washington Post, the number of them in Israeli prisons is no less than 120 people. The senior Israeli official said that the detainee exchange deal will be accompanied by a truce that may last 5 days, to allow the safe exit of the Israeli hostages. It would also allow more international aid to enter Gaza to alleviate the humanitarian crisis.

The official indicated that Israel wants to guarantee the release of its citizens whose identities have been identified, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners, and that the process of verifying identities represents one of the details that officials continue to discuss. Israel is conducting negotiations with Hamas indirectly, through Qatar, where some Hamas political leaders reside.

Last Thursday, the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, met with CIA Director William Burns and the head of Israeli intelligence, Mossad, David Barnea, to discuss the framework of the deal, which is now apparently in its final stage. The Washington Post indicates that the Mossad was working closely with Qatar and the CIA to formulate the deal. Israeli officials expressed their appreciation for Qatar's mediation, but they also want it to influence Hamas to release the hostages, and not just mediation. They also pointed out that Egypt played a useful role in organizing negotiations with Hamas.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Israeli Army Radio reported that there was no indication of the presence of detainees held by Hamas inside Al-Shifa Hospital. Israeli Army Radio said, "There is no indication of the presence of hostages inside Al-Shifa Hospital, and scanning operations are continuing." Israeli forces stormed the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza and carried out raids and searches in all hospital departments and rooms, such as the emergency, surgery, kidney and heart departments.

It was reported that Israeli forces subjected a number of doctors and displaced persons in Al-Shifa Hospital to investigation. The Israeli army announced that its forces were carrying out a "precise" operation against Hamas in a specific area of the medical complex, the largest of its kind in the besieged Gaza Strip. Israel accuses Hamas of using hospitals as a refuge for its fighters, claiming that Hamas established its main command center inside and under Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest in the besieged area, which is denied by hospital workers and Hamas.

The Hamas movement held Israel and US President Joe Biden responsible for the raid, especially after Washington said it had intelligence information that supported the conclusions reached by Israel about the Shifa Medical Complex. Commenting on the Israeli army's storming of Al-Shifa Hospital, the White House said it has information that Hamas and Islamic Jihad used the hospitals for their operations and to detain kidnapped persons, and that the movement used hospitals in Gaza to hide weapons. But the White House said that it does not support bombing hospitals from the air and does not want to see a gun battle there, calling for the necessity of “protecting hospitals and patients.”

On the other hand, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, announced that Israeli vehicles are encircling the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza from all directions amid continuous artillery shelling. He added that medical teams inside Al-Shifa Medical Complex continue to dig mass graves to bury patients who were martyred as a result of the Israeli siege, stressing that the occupation completely prevents movement inside the complex. Al-Qudra spoke about plans to bury the bodies today, stressing that the matter would be very dangerous because there was no cover or protection from the International Committee of the Red Cross. He said that the bodies of the martyrs had begun to decompose, which required burying them as quickly as possible, adding that the men had already begun digging.

He added that the laboratories and blood bank at Al-Shifa Medical Complex stopped due to the power outage. In turn, the Government Information Office in Gaza revealed that 40 martyrs died, during the past few days, within the walls of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex since the occupation began effectively besieging it and targeting everything that moved inside it, and due to the continuing power outages, the depletion of fuel, and the complete halt of surgical operating rooms.

Today, the medical teams inside the Shifa Medical Complex were able to bury 82 martyrs in a mass grave they dug inside the Shifa Medical Complex due to the intransigence of the occupation, which is still completely besieging the complex. The Government Information Office reported that 36 children from the neonatal ward remained alive after the death of 3 of them, noting that the hospital is making every effort to keep the children warm, as all 8 are placed together on a bed, after the fuel needed to operate the incubator generators ran out. He said that the occupation committed 1,165 massacres against the Palestinians, noting that the toll of martyrs is 11,320 martyrs, including more than 4,000 children and 3,145 women, and the number of casualties reached 29,200, more than 70% of whom were children and women, and the number of missing persons is 3,600, including 1,755 children who are still missing. Under the rubble. He pointed out that 25 hospitals and 52 health centers were out of service, and the occupation targeted 55 ambulances.

Foreign AffairsIsrael Suffers Its Biggest Defeat Since The Beginning Of The War by SummaryChannel(op): 3:15pm On Nov 15, 2023
Israel suffers its biggest defeat since the beginning of the war and is forced to accept negotiations with Hamas

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
The episode focuses its time on the Israeli occupation army's storming of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex inside the Gaza Strip. He said in a statement that his units “are carrying out a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specific area in Al-Shifa Hospital, based on intelligence information and operational necessities,” according to Agence France-Presse. He also added that his units "include medical teams and Arabic speakers who have undergone specific training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the aim of not causing any harm to civilians who Hamas uses as human shields."

For its part, Hamas held Israel, US President Joe Biden, and his administration “fully responsible for the repercussions of the storming” of the Shifa Medical Complex. For his part, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, said, “The Israeli army informed us that it would storm Al-Shifa Hospital within minutes.” Al-Qudra added that there were bombings and clashes in the vicinity of the hospital. In turn, Palestinian Health Minister Mai Al-Kaila explained that the Israeli army is surrounding Al-Shifa Hospital with tanks.

Al-Kaila said that the Israeli army entered the hospital director's office. She also stressed: “We hold Israel responsible for the lives of medical staff, patients and displaced people.” She also continued: “We are communicating with the United Nations and Western capitals regarding hospitals.” While she concluded by saying that there are no communications with Israel regarding Al-Shifa Hospital.

The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Yousef Abu Al-Rish, had revealed earlier that the Israeli army did not ask those in Al-Shifa Hospital to leave it, but merely confirmed that it would storm the complex within minutes. Abu Al-Rish also added to the Arab World News Agency that the Israeli army contacted some of those inside the hospital and informed them of its intention to storm it within minutes.

It is noteworthy that thousands of civilians are still stranded in the main Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, while it is deprived of water and electricity and where doctors were forced to bury dozens of bodies in a mass grave, according to its director. The hospital includes thousands of Palestinian patients, medical staff, and civilians displaced as a result of the war raging since last October 7. While Israel says that Hamas has a command center under the Shifa complex, and uses the hospital and the tunnels under it for military operations and hostage-taking, Hamas denies this.

Former Israeli Mossad chief Danny Yatom said in a televised statement that Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip must be destroyed, because it is a human shield for the positions of the Palestinian resistance leadership. Yatom added, during an interview on Israeli Channel 13, that Israel must destroy the hospital and continue digging down with bombs. Because if Tel Aviv's intelligence information is correct, this will give it the ability to crush the resistance leadership that is behind the terrible campaign currently being waged, in reference to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation that the resistance factions began about ten days ago.

They also pointed out that Egypt played a useful role in organizing negotiations with Hamas.

On the other hand, the Egyptian Ministry of Interior announced, on Monday, that legal measures had been taken regarding an incident of “verbal assault” by a person holding a foreign nationality against two girls in South Sinai Governorate. A video clip spread over the past few days, of a young man who social media accounts claimed was Israeli in the city of Dahab, and the voice of the young woman who filmed him appeared, saying that the tourist “harassed her and her friend on the beach and that he was filmed,” to which he responded by saying: “For me, this is land.” "Israel." He went on to say at a certain point: “You don't know anything, you're like animals.” The Egyptian Interior Ministry issued a statement, saying: “In the context of circulating a video clip on social media sites, during which a person with a foreign nationality appears verbally assaulting two girls in South Sinai Governorate, and claiming that the aforementioned person is of Israeli nationality.” The statement added: “Upon examination, it was found that the person shown in the video clip holds the nationality of a foreign country, not an Israeli national, and the two girls filed a report with the security authorities for his assault on them. Legal measures have been taken... and the necessary measures are being taken regarding him.”

Finally, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir said that not only the leaders and fighters of the Hamas movement must be eliminated, but also its Palestinian civilian supporters and even “those who distribute candy” to rejoice in the movement’s operations. In an interview with Israeli Channel 12, Ben Gvir described all Hamas sympathizers as “terrorists” and said: “It must be clear that the goal is to eliminate Hamas, and that includes those who sing, those who support, and those who distribute candy.”

He added: "I now call for the occupation of the Gaza Strip." The far-right minister refused to bring any humanitarian aid into the besieged Strip and said, "As long as Hamas does not release the prisoners in its hands, the only thing that needs to enter Gaza is hundreds of tons of explosives from the Israeli Air Force, not humanitarian aid." Ben Gvir also called for more arming of Israeli settlers, saying: “Weapons can save lives. My first task now is to distribute weapons to the settlers.” The minister complained about what he described as "ignoring" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government's advice when he called for the elimination of all Hamas leaders and the establishment of an Israeli National Guard before the outbreak of war. He added: "They are not listening to me, they are isolating me."
