Israel Hayom [Israeli newspaper]:
The United States and Israel are establishing joint teams to implement Trump’s displacement plan on the ground, and joint American-Israeli teams are trying to find countries that will agree to receive the Gazans.

40,000 Palestinians leave northern West Bank camps: Katz
The Israeli defence minister says he has ordered the army to stay in the occupied West Bank refugee camps for the next year.
In a statement quoted by the Israeli media, Katz said: “40,000 Palestinians have so far evacuated from the Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams refugee camps, and are now empty of residents. UNRWA activity in the camps has also been stopped.” He referred to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, which Israel has banned.
“We will not return to the reality that was in the past. We will continue to clear refugee camps,” the minister said.
The Israeli army has been carrying out a large operation in the northern West Bank.
It announced that Israeli tanks will be used in the Jenin operation – for the first time in the West Bank since 2002.

The best sense of defeat for the Israeli haters in charge, who tried to disrupt the funerals even by invading Lebanese air space in front of th whole world, “because they are worth it” ( with no government stating a word of protest…the same way they are comitting their genocide on Gaza in plain view…), is hearing the words of this Iraqi man who tells that he came to Lebanon out of love for the martyrs…( not thinking of the zionists….)
https://t.me/almayadeenespanol/122599
You are not in the minds of all these millions of people, you did not success in filling their hearts with hatred, which is your motto of life as you rot ( like they show Hamas militants returning the Israeli hostages in such a good shape, not invalid and out of their minds as the Israelis return the Palestinian kept for decades in Israeli jails…)
You just forced yourselves present in the news by sending your fighter jets…otherwise, you would have passed inadverted today…you were trying to be the dead at the funeral ( and never better said..), the bride at the wedding, the baby in the baptism, as you usually do without rest for the past 80 years…you, simply, could not face any mourning that is not for your “chosen” people…and thus you felt the need to make an appearance…

Warm thanks to MoA contributors for moving details of the Nasrallah funeral. A day of historic resistance and learning anew the full extent of imperial depravity-slash-desperation. Warplane fighter-pilots buzzing thousands in Beirut bear an insatiable yearning in their hearts which aligns perfectly with their military mission: they so fervently need to be hated, to excel all rivals in rarified evil, so as to be hated even more than the next very bad guy.
The most effective antisemitic campaign in history, much more persuasive than anything Martin Luther or Adolf Hitler ever wrote or did, has been Israel’s continuation of their longstanding initiative to make Jews the most despised people on Earth; and to make racist extermination a weapon of war.
With the suspension of simple, straightforward prisoner-exchange terms, it now looks like they’re trashing the so-called ceasefire decisively. It’s almost as if some folks are agreement incapable!

Meanwhile the UK is on its knees, with the cost-of-living crise getting worse – and the cost of energy going through the roof – poverty and homelessness are widespread – and public services have been deeply cut with more to come – add in that people are disillusioned with politics, and lying politicians – and Britain look ripe for a widespread uprising.

Netanyahu is feeling very confident and pugilistic. Not only flagrantly breeching the cease-fire in Gaza, but preparing for re-invasion of same. Added to that, he is positioning tanks and troops for at least a year in the West Bank and demanding that the new Syrian army remain above Damascus, as Israel is claiming the rest of the country as a “buffer zone”. Per the agreement from 1974, the Golan Heights was the buffer zone and still belonged to Syria; since Trump’s first term in office, he and Israel have claimed that Israel “owns” the Golan Heights.

Israeli army says it increased ‘military readiness’ around Gaza
A brief statement comes after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is ready to resume fighting “at any moment” in the Strip as a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel hangs by a thread.
“Following a situational assessment, it was decided to increase the operational readiness in the area surrounding the Gaza Strip,” the army statement said.
On Saturday, Israel’s government failed to release 620 Palestinian prisoners as agreed in the truce deal after Hamas released six living captives, throwing the ceasefire’s survivability into question.

Israel says West Bank operation will last for a year as it sends tanks to Jenin
Continued operation in Palestinian territory will leave 40,000 displaced people unable to return home
Israel has sent tanks to the West Bank city of Jenin, in the first deployment of its kind in the area in more than two decades, as troops intensify operations in the territory that officials said will last at least a year.
The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said on Sunday that the latest operation across the West Bank was expanding, and that troops would remain in the area’s urban hotspots “for the coming year”, meaning approximately 40,000 people displaced by the fighting will not be able to return to their homes.
The Israel Defense Forces said they were sending tanks to the northern city of Jenin for the first time since the height of the second intifada, or Palestinian uprising, in 2002. […]

Israel will not accept the presence of forces from Syria’s newly established army in the southern outskirts of the capital, Damascus, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Israeli soldiers, he added, will remain on Mount Hermon and in a buffer zone in the occupied Golan Heights for “an unlimited period of time”. He also demanded the “full demilitarisation of southern Syria from troops of the new Syrian regime”.
Israel and Syria signed a ceasefire agreement in 1974, designating the Golan Heights as a demilitarised buffer zone.
However, on the same day that former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was ousted, Israel announced that its troops were moving into a UN-patrolled buffer zone, which has separated Israeli and Syrian forces in the occupied Golan Heights since 1974.

Is the UK Spying on Hamas for Israel?
February 21, 2025
Royal Air Force surveillance flights towards Gaza keep taking place when hostages are released, Mark Curtis and Phil Miller report.
By Mark Curtis and Phil Miller
Declassified UK
The Royal Air Force (RAF) has operated surveillance flights near Gaza on all five days of the ceasefire that Hamas released hostages, Declassified has found.
No spy planes were sent towards the strip on the other 20 days of the ceasefire.
The latest flight, by a Shadow R1 spy plane, occurred on Feb. 8 when three Israeli men — Eli Sharabi, Or Levy and Ohad Ben Ami — became free from captivity. Evidence found by Declassified suggests the spy plane was in the air at the same time.
Other hostages were released on Feb. 1 and Jab. 19, 25 and 30 as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Among them was the British-Israeli, Emily Damari. [On Thursday, Hamas returned the bodies of four dead hostages.]
RAF aircraft were also in the air when these hostages were released, data indicates.
The planes take off from Britain’s air base on Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri, and head in the direction of Gaza, when they turn their transponders off.
Prior to the ceasefire, such flights were an almost daily occurrence with the U.K. government claiming they were helping Israel find hostages.

Palestinian residents arrested for installing cameras in classrooms:
@Mistaclim
After a series of harassments, including the burning of the mosque, the digging of “children’s graves” near the school, and the violent attack on the school in Al Mu’arrajat by settlers, the Palestinian residents decided to install security cameras in the classrooms. The army arrived at the scene, arrested the four camera installers, and prohibited the installation of the cameras. According to the testimony of the activists on the scene, while the detainees were inside the military vehicle, their heads were covered with garbage bags and their hands were handcuffed.
Only those who do not want the crimes of the occupation and the violence of the settlers to be documented have a reason to prevent the installation of the cameras.

notes that the Golan Heights have great strategic importance for Israel – not just in strictly military terms but as a major source of freshwater, and highly fertile zone for agricultural production. Israel is heavily reliant on the ports of Haifa and Eilat for maintaining imports of vital goods. Activity at Eilat has already been constrained by Houthi missile attacks, and both of these ports could be completely shut down in case of a major war, imposing a serious strategic risk for the country. The Golan offers an alternate channel for domestic food production, providing a critical buffer for domestic self-sufficiency amid a crisis.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps.
This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate.
We are witnessing ethnic cleansing — and our government’s ongoing failure to defend international law is utterly, utterly shameful.
Palestinians are human beings who deserve self-determination.
That is why we will continue to demand economic sanctions, a full arms embargo, and the only path to peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

Israel is pushing forward with the Greater Israel project, having rejected every Arab and Muslim initiative for a two-state solution.
Today, Minister Katz effectively declared the annexation of southern Syria up to Damascus, violating the 1974 ceasefire. Meanwhile, in southern Lebanon, Israel refuses to withdraw from strategic positions, openly defying UN Resolution 1701 and the U.S.-brokered ceasefire from just two months ago.
Israel is steadily steering the region toward war.

The chapter continues that if the Jews return to extreme arrogance , they will again be punished. The Jews know these verses and they are deliberately defying God.
They might also be defying International Law etc, but compared with defying Allah that is insignificant. This is my evidence that if God has prophecied a Jewish Empire, it will never be a racist, arrogant Empire. God will never give Power to such a corrupt , racist entity.
After this travesty of Judaism, if the Jews finally relinquish Zionism, which in reality is a scam by the Khazars, they might be given a Mosaic Empire.

Western backed Lebanese President Aoun told an Iranian delegation attending the Nasrallah funeral that “Lebanon has grown tired of the wars of others on its land,” apparently referring to Iranian support for Hezbollah. Aoun was also quoted telling the Iranians “Countries should not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.” It is not clear if this latter utterance occurred before or after the low-level fly-bys over the funeral proceedings by Israeli jets. Prior to this provocation, Israel’s army had released video footage purporting to be the bombing strikes which killed the Hezbollah leader.

Trump’s position:
————–
The White House said on Sunday that it supports Israel’s decision to delay releasing 600 Palestinian prisoners who were set to be freed after Hamas released six Israeli captives in exchange on Saturday.
President Donald Trump is prepared to support Israel in “whatever course of action it chooses regarding Hamas,” a statement from National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday said the prisoner release would be delayed until Hamas ends its ceremonies while freeing Israeli captives.
Hamas has called the delay a “blatant violation” of the truce and said Netanyahu is engaging in “procrastination and stalling tactics” to undermine the agreement.

Israeli forces attack funeral in occupied West Bank
The Wafa news agency reports that Israeli troops attacked mourners attending the funeral of a Palestinian man in the town of al-Issawiya near occupied East Jerusalem.
Nael Obeid, 46, was released last week as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. He spent 21 years in detention and died on Saturday after falling from the roof of his house, the news report said.
Israeli soldiers stormed the town and fired tear gas at the cemetery and nearby streets during the funeral.
The attack took place as Israeli forces stepped up raids and mass detentions across the occupied West Bank. On Sunday, Israeli tanks rolled into Jenin for the first time in more than 20 years as the government ordered the military to prepare for an “extended stay”.

I can promise you no Palestinian captive ever kissed their guards on the way out. These are the supposed ‘human animals’ your media has been telling you about

More wholesome displays in today’s exchange of Israeli POWs and Hamas fighters 😍

Israel is trying to grow its size at the expense of its neighbors. The Arab world must speak clearly and act decisively to atop this. I believe it will.

At the very beginning of this conflict, almost two years ago, we predicted on this site that no people, no land, no state on this Earth would be safe from Isra-hell’s *need* to be free of “threat”.
The very existence of the human race is an existential threat to the Zionist Jew.
So if you believe it will end with the Arabs, think again …

Israel is israels worse enemy,
they have distroyed any respect or sympathy people may of had for them. They have carried out sereal crimes culminating in the last year and a half, thats on record. Govements come and go but soon their will come a time when the US and UK patronage of israel will fade away then israel will have to face justice.
Israel if it still exsistes will have to convict its own criminal mass murderers or they will face justice internationaly.
You cant hide the truth for ever.
Israels is israels worse .. enemy who the gods wish to distroy they first make mad.
Judgeing by that its about over.

The break up of the Ottoman Empire is primarily responsible for the basket-case that is today known as the Middle East. The Sykes–Picot Agreement of 1916, between the United Kingdom and France, with assent from Russia and Italy, is largely responsible for the partitioning and continuing control of the lands that is the ME today.
Perhaps one of our resident MOB historians can suggest a couple of links that will help understand why the Palestinians can’t rely on the Arab World for salvation.

Re: war crimes evidence
War crimes have no statute of limitations. The constellation of forces will change, but the evidence will remain.

80 Lavieja — Also people on this thread may have already watched Electronic Intifada of 2 days ago on Arab meeting in Riyadh and Egyptian plan to counteract Trump’s Riviera scheme, Egyptian plan includes Egypt rebuilds Gaza, but self-determination for Gazans not mentioned, therefore Abunimah and Barrows-Friedman suggest the Arab plan can be described as ‘appeasement’ to US- Israel. This EI discussion of course before the threat to the ceasefire by Israel’s withholding of the release of the 600 Palestinian prisoners.

Israeli journalist has a free hand to wander around inside Lebanese military complexes.
“Israeli journalist films inside Syrian military bases for Channel 12, even he was surprised that he was allowed to do this.
Israeli journalist Itay Anghel filmed an episode for Israel’s Channel 12 while moving through Syria and its military bases. He said “I cannot believe myself as an Israeli that I can walk around here”, He showcased images of “secret Syrian facilities hidden for years” and stated, “Everything here is available; I can even take the warheads of the missiles.”
The upcoming episode of “The Truth,” titled “Welcome to Syria,” will air tomorrow on Israel’s Channel 12. Anghel reported from the heart of Damascus exploring abandoned Syrian military bases and Iranian command centers.”

“Perhaps one of our resident MOB historians can suggest a couple of links that will help understand why the Palestinians can’t rely on the Arab World for salvation.”
That is not straightforward, but “rely” is the main word, as well as “Arab World” (vs. say the Umma).
Giyane touches on much of this, and the modern national alegiances with the west are an important factor, as well as the different political concepts of the region. Those are all also economic and security based, that is to say where the local populations themselves also focus on their own stability, much as they dislike “Israel” and the US (the UK is not as badly regarded but SHOULD be being more careful to distance themselves from current events). Simply put, most prefer peace.
For historical accounts there are many many that are pertinent. These go from thesis on earliest history and tribal / cultural realities, through the introduction of Islam and the various related empires, up to more recent history. These are all very important and explain much, but it is the more recent history which explains what has most sway on events (so far) regarding how positions are currently taken (imo).
I think Craig Murray writes on the region but I have not read his works, so I will just throw in one book that I happened on in another thread in conversation. I have not read it, it will be biased undoubtedly, but it takes a reader to a time that serves as introduction to the main broader western (and Russian) influence in the region. Western influence actually goes back much earlier, to Roman times at least, to earlier Greek conquest also. In fact ‘early europeans’ inhabited at least to levant during the last glaciation, and so some include that reality also.
Anyway, The Tournament of Shadows linked below might just explain better how the various middle eastern nations came to take the positions they now hold in the modern regional picture, via last century, how those are by necessity also dependent on external factors, especially due to modernisation and integration in the wider world economy . Ergo, it is not something any particularly want to destroy by going into conflict with, or for, any of the major powers.

Waldorf,
ISIS et.al. are very likely mostly IDF with a smattering of Mercs. We’ve known this for many many years.
