04/23 Links Pt1: There’s No Such Thing As ‘Just Rockets’ Anymore; JPost reveals why Israel held back from striking Iran's nuclear sites; India has ordered all Pakistani nationals to leave

From Ian:

Seth Mandel: There’s No Such Thing As ‘Just Rockets’ Anymore
Or take this observation, from Jonathan Foreman’s remarkable cover essay on the failures that led to Israel’s vulnerability on Oct. 7:
“It is now clear that some of Hamas’s rocket barrages in the months and even years before October 7 were part of a program of intelligence-gathering, in accordance with the old Soviet military doctrine of Razvedka Boyem, or ‘reconnaissance through battle.’ The bombardments not only offered a means by which Hamas could assess the capabilities and limitations of the Iron Dome system, they led to the discovery of an enormous Israeli vulnerability. This was a civilian and military safety measure without which the October attack would have been much harder to pull off. It had somehow become standard operating procedure for all IDF personnel, as well as the Kitat Konenut guards on the Kibbutzim, to go into their rocket shelters on hearing rocket alarms, leaving the posts and communities for which they were responsible completely open to attack.

“This was not previously the norm in the IDF. And for an obvious reason: Attacking armies have advanced under cover of artillery fire since at least the invention of the ballista in the fifth century B.C.E. As one retired IDF officer reminded me when despairing of this contemporary Israeli practice, ‘During the First World War, the armies on the Western Front kept soldiers on the fighting steps of their trench systems even during the heaviest artillery bombardments, bombardments vastly more intense and destructive than the rocket barrages of October 7.’”

One response to that IDF officer might have been: Well, we don’t treat rocket barrages as if they are artillery bombardments on the battlefield. To which Israelis might very well now answer back: Perhaps you should.

In fact, several aspects of the conflict will never go back to being treated as lightly as they were. One of them, perhaps paradoxically, is suspicious calm. As we now know, crucial to Hamas’s ability to pull off its surprise attack was its commitment to acting as though it wanted peace. The lesson: Peace with Hamas isn’t possible, and the same is true of peace with Hamas’s fellow Iranian proxies like Palestinian Islamic Jihad. There can be no true détente with Iranian satrapies.

Training exercises by terrorist groups must be treated as the preludes to action that they are. Aid into Gaza will forever be more strictly examined, and if no one can deliver aid while avoiding Hamas, then the IDF will have to take whatever actions are necessary to clear a path to aid distribution that circumvents the terrorist gangs that seek to intercept it. If Gazans close to the border continue to threaten their Israeli neighbors, the buffer zone will be adjusted accordingly. The Hamas tunnel system proves that the so-called “Israeli siege” of Gaza was illusory. That might not be the case in the future.

And so on. But the rockets are among the most significant examples of this, because cracking down on rocket fire will require vigilance. Israel’s overly defensive stance toward rocket attacks must be made a thing of the past.
Seth Mandel: Medical Groups Are Suddenly Silent
Mohammed Sakar, for example. Dr. Sakar works at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, and recently posted a highly interesting note on his Facebook page. He has since deleted it, but here is the Times of Israel’s translation of it in part:

“As head of the department, I exerted all efforts to reopen the hospital and I succeeded… in serving the wounded. I made sure that the hospital wards were used only for patients, and not for displaced persons… In this way, I managed to keep the hospital safe and avoid threats of closure.”

He then warned that he was “being openly threatened, even though I explained to those who came to my office that all the steps I took were to protect the hospital. God will not forgive you.”

He included a threatening note he received from the military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad: “Dear one, you have crossed the line, take heed!”

The Times of Israel notes that that was Sakar’s last post on Facebook and that he has not appeared in the media since deleting it.

The main takeaway from Sakar’s post is that it serves as yet more proof that the terrorist organizations in Gaza are still using hospitals as cover. Posts in support of Sakar, apparently from other Gaza residents, could be found on X, but that’s about it so far. One such post reads: “Dr. Mohammed Sakar received threats from mercenaries belonging to Islamic Jihad because of his opposition to armed men inside the hospital. Every mercenary organization has thieves around it, and it wants to take the land into its own hands and play with people’s lives as it pleases.”

In February 2024, IDF soldiers operating at Nasser hospital discovered Hamas terrorists and weapons, as well as medicine that had been withheld from hostages. In January, when the cease-fire went into effect, Hamas forces were seen emerging from the Nasser complex armed and in uniform.

But there’s another angle to this: Where’s all the international support for Dr. Sakar? It sure sounds like he’s trying to keep terrorists out of the hospital. He seems to be in mortal danger from Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Medical organizations and NGOs around the world ought to be interested in getting to the bottom of this. I eagerly await their campaigns to do so.


'Post' reveals why Israel held back from striking Iran's nuclear sites
In order to be ready for a potentially broad military campaign with Iran, which could involve multiple rounds of exchanges of many hundreds of ballistic missiles more than before, top Israeli officials wanted to remove other threats from the board.

It took until November 27 to get a ceasefire with Hezbollah, and even then, significant Israeli attention was focused on keeping US support for framing the post-war order in Lebanon. This was key to ensure that the Lebanese army would block Hezbollah from returning to southern Lebanon and that the IDF would be free to strike the terror group each time it violated the ceasefire deal.

A deal with Hamas for returning some hostages and a ceasefire did not occur until January 19, the day before Trump’s inauguration.

And there was enormous pressure for another such hostage deal after the last deal had occurred way back in November 2023.

Once again, Israel needed both Biden and Trump’s support to seal the deal, and this might not have happened if Jerusalem had gone head-to-head with Tehran.

There are also some who believe Netanyahu only wanted the Hamas deal to happen once Trump was taking office, so that he could frame the post-ceasefire situation in terms of dismantling Hamas - and not a Palestinian Authority-led Gaza with Hamas still intact in the background.

In any event, the Hamas deal also took off pressure from the Houthis, and before Israel went back to war with Hamas on March 18-19, America was already striking the Houthis far more seriously to keep them busy on the defensive and less on the offensive.

Most top Israeli officials believe progress on these issues could not have happened, and also the 33 hostages who Hamas returned to Israel over January-March could have been endangered, if Israel had launched a larger war with Iran during the Biden-Trump transition.

Also, top IDF and Mossad officials believed that Trump would be open to a full attack on Iran’s nuclear sites at some midpoint in 2025, such that there was not necessarily a rush.

Generally speaking, Israeli officials have felt blindsided by Trump’s turn from calling on Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear program in October 2024, to waving off their attack plans in 2025, and seemingly barreling forward toward a new, highly flawed nuclear deal.

Had Israeli officials realized that such a scenario was just as likely as green-lighting an Israeli attack or coercing Iran into a much tighter nuclear deal, some might have favored launching an attack during the Biden-Trump transition.

Yet, some, even looking back, would say that the strategic importance of obtaining ceasefires with Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis was worth the price of temporarily missing the window to attack Iran.

According to these sources, Israel has prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon using covert means for decades, and it can again. Further, if Iran really does try to take advantage of a new weak deal to break out to a nuclear weapon, the air force could still step in in time to strike.

Finally, though no Israeli officials are saying this out loud yet, even a mediocre nuclear deal could buy Israel time by setting Iran’s nuclear progress back for the first time since 2019, when it threw off the JCPOA restrictions.

This is far from the ideal scenario of using Iran’s relative defenselessness post October 26 to smash its nuclear program with a giant military strike, but it may still be a better result than any deal the Biden team could have gotten before Israel put Iran directly in its crosshairs.
The Free Press: Marco Rubio on Iran, Deportations, and the State Dept. Shake-Up
Yesterday, The Free Press had a major scoop: The State Department is launching the biggest shake-up in decades in an effort spearheaded by Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

Today, Rubio joins us on Honestly to discuss his goals for restructuring the Department and also how the U.S. is responding to manifold crises at home and abroad, from controversial deportations to the American attempt to end the war in Ukraine to the possibility of a new Iranian nuclear deal.

In his confirmation hearing, Secretary Rubio talked about how the postwar global order is obsolete. The question is: What replaces it?

We asked that and more of the man who has been charged with overseeing one of the most transformational shifts in our relationship to the world in American history.




'Waste That S—t': In Interview With Free Beacon, Fetterman Tells Trump To Dump Iran Talks and Destroy Tehran's Nuclear Facilities
Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) says the Trump administration should drop nuclear negotiations with Iran and finish off the country's nuclear facilities with a military strike.

"Waste that s—t," the Pennsylvania Democrat told the Washington Free Beacon in an interview on Wednesday. "You're never going to be able to negotiate with that kind of regime that has been destabilizing the region for decades already, and now we have an incredible window, I believe, to do that, to strike and destroy Iran's nuclear facilities."

Fetterman dismissed the foreign policy experts who warn that striking Iran would lead to the outbreak of a regional war. "And remember, all of these so-called experts were all wrong," he said. "You know, they've been saying for years and years Hezbollah was the ultimate badass that kept Israel in check, and we can't move on anything beyond that."

As it turned out, Fetterman said, the Iranian proxy group "couldn't fight for s—t. And Hamas, literally, are just a bunch of tunnel rats with junkie rockets in the back of a Toyota truck. And now the Houthis have been effectively neutered as well. So what's left? You have Iran, and they have a nuclear facility, and it's clearly only for weapons."

Fetterman's remarks come as the Trump administration barrels forward with negotiations over Iran's nuclear program that have so far been defined by mixed messages. Going into the talks, the administration said any deal would require Tehran to dismantle its nuclear program. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff later suggested a deal could allow Iran to enrich uranium up to a certain level. Then he walked back that walk-back, saying Iran must agree to "stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment" to ink a deal.
UK-backed Gaza humanitarian aid statement sparks row with Israel
A joint statement by E3 nations United Kingdom, France, and Germany has sparked a new row with Israel after it said: “Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool.”

The statement, signed by David Lammy, along with the two other nations’ foreign ministers, demands the immediate resumption of aid deliveries to the Strip.

It also criticises comments on the issue by Defense Minister Israel Katz who last week said that Israel has no intention of allowing humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip until a “civilian” mechanism is established to bypass Hamas’s control of supplies, and that the IDF would remain in buffer zones “in any temporary or permanent reality in Gaza” to protect nearby Israeli communities.

In a post on X Lammy wrote:”For over 50 days, Israel has fully blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is completely unacceptable.

“Vital supplies are running out and Palestinians risk facing starvation. With France and Germany, we urge Israel to immediately restart the flow of aid.”

“Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool,” added the E3 statement, which marks today as the 50th day since Israel imposed a total blockade on aid entering the Strip after the collapse of a ceasefire with the Hamas terror group.

“Humanitarians must be able to deliver aid to those who need it most, independent of parties to the conflict and in accordance with their humanitarian principles,” it continues, declaring that “Israel must ensure unhindered access for the UN and humanitarian organizations to operate safely across Gaza.”


Young Israeli Girl Injured in Iranian Missile Attack Released From Rehab
Doctors have released from rehabilitation Amina Al-Hassouni, an 8-year-old Bedouin girl from the village of Al-Fura’a who was seriously injured in the April 13, 2024, Iranian missile and drone strike on Israel, the Islamist regime’s first direct attack on the Jewish state.

Israeli media reported on Tuesday on Al-Hassouni’s release, which followed about a year of recovery.

Shrapnel from an Israeli interceptor missile struck Al-Hassouni in her head during the attack, resulting in six weeks of a medically induced coma, multiple surgeries, and more than three months’ recovery at Beersheva’s Soroka Medical Center before starting her rehabilitation in July 2024.

Dr. Miki Gideon, head of the hospital’s pediatric neurosurgery department, operated on Al-Hassouni and described her injury as “severe, complex, and devastating.” He said at the time that “to see Amina today — fully conscious, communicating, smiling, and ready for the next step in her rehabilitation — fills our hearts with hope and strengthens our hands.”

The April attack by Iran included a barrage of more than 300 missiles and drones, almost all of which Israel intercepted, leaving Al-Hassouni as the only injury. US forces used warships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to shoot down some of the projectiles, including more than 70 drones and at least three missiles. US fighter jets also shot down drones.

“When Amina was admitted to the unit that Saturday night, it was hard to believe that the small and fragile girl actually survived her severe injury,” Dr. Isaac Lazar, director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Soroka University Medical Center, said when she began her rehabilitation. “Much thanks go to the multi-professional team that treated her with great dedication and professionalism, but mostly thanks to Amina’s strength, her desire to live and recover, and her family members, who never left her bed side during the long and difficult days of hospitalization.”


'Americans Should Sleep Better at Night': Trump Admin Counterterrorism Strikes Have Killed 74 Terrorist Leaders, Mike Waltz Says
The Trump administration's counterterrorism operations have killed 74 terrorists from groups actively plotting attacks against the United States, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said Tuesday.

"President Trump has eliminated 74 named terrorist leaders that the Biden administration wasn't going after," Waltz told Just the News, referring to the airstrikes and other operations that Trump has ordered since returning to the White House. Waltz confirmed that the targeted groups have plans to strike the U.S. homeland and Western assets.

"I can tell you, from ISIS to al-Qaeda, to groups like Al-Shabab, all have plots and plans to hit the homeland once again," Waltz said. "And if you look under the Biden administration, with a wide-open border, that was incredibly dangerous."

Just the News confirmed Waltz's numbers with military and intelligence officers.

The renewed offensive builds on Trump's first-term counterterrorism strategy, which culminated in the 2020 airstrike that eliminated top Iranian terrorist Qassem Soleimani. It marks a shift from the policies of former president Joe Biden, whose administration stayed silent on whether it supported Soleimani's assassination and oversaw record surges in illegal immigrants, including many on the terrorist watchlist.

Waltz noted that Trump has secured the release of 45 American hostages held by hostile regimes and terrorist groups, which he called "an incredible achievement in just a couple of months."

"Americans should sleep better at night," Waltz said. "We're only three months in, and look at the results President Trump is getting. The mainstream media doesn't want to talk about those."
Cash-Strapped Hamas Seeks to Regroup With New Recruits as Egypt, Qatar Said to Push 5-Year Gaza Truce
Egypt and Qatar are negotiating a long-term ceasefire deal with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas that would include a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails in exchange for the return of all hostages, according to a BBC report published Tuesday.

The report came as the cash-strapped terrorist group, which ruled Gaza for nearly two decades before its Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of southern Israel started the current war, was said to be reinforcing its military ranks by enlisting 30,000 new recruits.

Mediators from Egypt and Qatar presented a new framework to both parties, which included a five-to-seven-year truce, an end to Israel’s war in Gaza, the release of all remaining Israeli hostages held in the enclave, and the release of an undisclosed number of Palestinian detainees, the report said citing an unnamed senior Palestinian official.

Meanwhile, a separate report by the Saudi-owned Al Arabiya outlet said Hamas’s military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has enlisted approximately 30,000 new recruits. Most of the new fighters had previously undergone training in covert camps, the report said, adding that they lacked advanced combat skills, having been trained primarily in guerrilla warfare, basic rocket attacks, and the use of improvised explosives.

The recruitment campaign came as Hamas confronted severe operational challenges. The Iran-backed Islamist group was short on drones and long-range missile systems and had begun harvesting unexploded Israeli munitions from the battlefield to construct improvised explosive devices, the Al Arabiya report said.
The Palestinian Authority’s Plan: Flood Israel with Gaza Refugees Who Will ‘Return to Their Cities’ in Israel
While the future of the Gaza Strip is yet unknown, the Palestinian Authority (PA) is busy suggesting a solution that will destroy Israel as a Jewish state.

Reacting to US President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate the Gazan Arabs from the Gaza Strip, PA chief Mahmoud Abbas and other top PA leaders are calling for a “return” of Gazan “refugees” to places in Israel that they claim are “their homes and villages” in “Palestine”:

Mahmoud Abbas: All Palestinian “refugees” in Gaza should “return to their cities” in Israel

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: “Today, 2.3 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip, of whom 1.5 million are refugees who sought refuge after they were expelled from their lands in 1948, during which they were subjected to more than 50 massacres by the Zionist terrorist gangs.

If the Americans want a solution – the only place they [the refugees] need to return to is their cities and villages from which they were expelled during the Nakba ([i.e., “the catastrophe,” the establishment of Israel], to implement UN Resolution 194. … [emphasis added]

[Official PA TV News, Feb. 15, 2025]

Abbas’ advisor: Abbas said Gazans should return to “their homes and villages” in Israel

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “[PA] President Mahmoud Abbas clearly said: If there is a possibility of the Palestinians leaving the Gaza Strip, let it be to their cities and villages from which their [Palestinian] families were expelled in 1948

… Because 75% of the residents of the Gaza Strip are originally refugees from historical Palestine. If they [Israelis] want them to leave, let them return to their homes, their cities, and their villages.” [emphasis added]

[PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash, YouTube channel, March 22, 2025]

Abbas’ advisor: “Refugees” from Gaza “should return” to Israel, all else is “unrealistic, immoral, illegal”

Al-Habbash: “More than 70% of the civilians living in the Gaza Strip are refugees whose families were expelled in 1948 during the Nakba. They were expelled from Palestine. Any uprooting of them, any leaving by them from the Gaza Strip should be a return to their cities and villages from which their families were expelled in 1948.

Anything other than this is unrealistic, immoral, illegal, inhumane, unimplementable, and the Palestinians cannot agree to it.” [emphasis added]

Fatah Spokesman calls for “right of return”: Gazans should “return to land and homes” in Israel
Jordan Is Losing Patience with Its Islamists
Last week, Jordanian police arrested sixteen members of the country’s branch of the Muslim Brotherhood for acquiring explosives, trying to manufacture drones, and planning rocket attacks. The cell was likely working in coordination with Hamas (the Palestinian offshoot of the Brotherhood) and Hizballah, and perhaps receiving funding from Iran. Ghaith al-Omari provides some background:

The Brotherhood has been active in Jordan since the 1940s, and its relations with the government remained largely cooperative for decades even as other political parties were banned in the 1950s. In exchange, the Brotherhood usually (but not always) supported the palace’s foreign policy and security measures, particularly against Communist and socialist parties.

Relations became more adversarial near the turn of the century after the Brotherhood vociferously opposed the 1994 peace treaty with Israel. The Arab Spring movement that emerged in 2011 saw further deterioration. Unlike other states in the region, however, Jordan did not completely crack down on the MB, instead seeking to limit its influence.

Yet the current Gaza war has seen another escalation, with the MB repeatedly accusing the government of cooperating with Israel and not doing enough to support the Palestinians.

Jordanian security circles are particularly worried about the MB’s vocal wartime identification with Hamas, an organization that was considered such a grave security threat that it was expelled from the kingdom in 1999. The sentiment among many Jordanian officials is that the previous lenient approach failed to change the MB’s behavior, emboldening the group instead.
Jordan Outlaws Muslim Brotherhood, Confiscates Assets and Offices
Jordan outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s most vocal opposition group, and confiscated its assets on Wednesday after members of the Islamist group were found to be linked to a sabotage plot, Interior Minister Mazen Fraya said.

There was no immediate comment from the movement, which has operated legally in Jordan for decades and has widespread grass-roots support in major urban centers and scores of offices across the country.

Jordan said last week it had arrested 16 Muslim Brotherhood members, saying they were trained and financed in Lebanon and were plotting attacks involving rockets and drones on targets inside the kingdom. Jordan also attributed a foiled plot in 2024 to a Muslim Brotherhood cell in Jordan.

Fraya said all the activities of the group would be banned and anyone promoting its ideology would be held accountable by law. The ban includes publishing anything by the group and closure and confiscation of all its offices and property, he added.

Scores of security personnel, acting on an order from the public prosecutor, raided Muslim Brotherhood offices and began searching for documents, officials said, adding that some had already been removed or destroyed in an apparent attempt to conceal evidence.

The Muslim Brotherhood, one of the Arab world’s oldest and most influential Islamist movements, has denied links to the alleged plot but admitted members may have engaged in an individual capacity in arms smuggling to Palestinians in the West Bank.

Opponents of the Brotherhood, which is outlawed in most Arab countries, call it a dangerous terrorist group that should be crushed. The movement says it publicly renounced violence decades ago and pursues an Islamist vision using peaceful means.

‘FINAL DIVORCE’

“Today, there is no longer any banner bearing the name of the Muslim Brotherhood. This marks a final divorce between the state and the Brotherhood after decades of fluctuating between co-opting them and merely tolerating their presence,” said Mohammed Khair Rawashdeh, a political analyst.
Pittsburgh trio lied to US Air Force, conspired to attack synagogue, per new federal indictment
Three Pittsburgh residents conspired to deface a Jewish building, lied to the federal government about supporting terrorists and owned and detonated illegal explosives, according to a superseding indictment that a federal grand jury in the city returned on Tuesday, per the U.S. Justice Department.

The nine-count indictment—which amends a prior complaint—names Mohamad Hamad (23), Talya Lubit (24) and Micaiah Collins (22), the first two of whom were indictment previously for tagging a Jewish building with anti-Israel graffiti. (Some Justice Department releases refer to “Tayla” Lubit, although the indictment says “Talya.”)

Hamad is newly-accused of lying to the government when he sought top-secret level clearance while applying to the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, part of the U.S. Air Force, in 2023. In his application, Hamad swore that he would “support and defend” the U.S. Constitution and the state “against all enemies, foreign and domestic” and that he would “bear true faith and allegiance to the same,” among other oaths.

But the 23-year-old told people privately at the same time that he was loyal to Lebanon, Hezbollah and Hamas, per the superseding indictment.

“In addition to his previously charged role in defacing Jewish religious property, he also conspired with others named in this superseding indictment to manufacture and detonate destructive devices,” stated Attorney Rivetti, acting U.S. attorney for the the Western District of Pennsylvania.

“Our office remains resolute in its commitment to working alongside federal, state and local law enforcement partners to investigate crimes like these and to safeguard both the Jewish community and the public at large,” Rivetti stated.

Per the amended indictment, Hamad told an Ohio resident that although he had joined the Air Force, it’s “still Palestine on top though make no mistake.” In another message, he allegedly wrote “don’t get me wrong, my dear, Lebanon, Palestine are my country and they are on top,” directing an expletive at “Israel and all her friends.”
France’s Fatal Delusion: Inside the Islamic State Cell That Plotted to Annihilate a French Village
In a trial that should have shaken France to its core, six men stood before a Paris court for orchestrating one of the most barbaric Islamic terror plots ever uncovered on French soil. Their plan: to wipe an entire French village off the map in a single night.

This was not merely a “radicalization” case, as the government’s favorite euphemism would suggest. It was not even a criminal conspiracy in the conventional sense. What emerged in testimony, wiretaps, and investigations was a chilling revelation: a military operation, organized by an Islamic State fighter masquerading as a refugee, allowed to live and plot jihad in France under the protection of its broken immigration system and politically paralyzed security apparatus.

A Jihad Headquarters in Plain Sight
The epicenter of this terror plot? A halal butcher shop in Brest called “Chez Wahid.” Behind its modest storefront, the shop served as the meeting place and operational hub for a cell of radical Islamists preparing for mass murder. Between 2019 and 2020, six individuals aged 16 to 39 gathered here regularly to plan attacks inspired directly by the genocidal and supremacist doctrine of the Islamic State—and, more broadly, the foundational tenets of Islam itself.

At the center of the conspiracy stood Mohammad Darwish, a 39-year-old Syrian national of Palestinian origin, who entered France as a “refugee” in 2015. He was already suspected by U.S. intelligence of being an ISIS fighter, operating under the alias Abu Omar al-Falstini. Yet France, ignoring red flags, welcomed him in with open arms.

Working alongside Darwish was Wahid Bouraïa, the butcher and owner of the halal shop, previously convicted in 2018 for glorifying terrorism. Rather than being imprisoned or deported, Bouraïa turned his business into a de facto jihadist command center—and no one stopped him.
India blames Pakistan for Kashmir terror attack, suspends a key water treaty
India blamed Pakistan on Wednesday for a terror attack that killed 26 people in Indian-held Kashmir, downgrading diplomatic ties and suspending a crucial water-sharing treaty that has withstood two wars between the nuclear-armed rivals.

The spray of gunfire at tourists on Tuesday in a scenic mountain-ringed valley was the worst assault in years targeting civilians in the restive region that is claimed by both countries. The unidentified gunmen also wounded 17 other people.

India’s foreign secretary, Vikram Misri, announced the diplomatic moves against Pakistan at a news conference in New Delhi late Wednesday, saying a special cabinet meeting called by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided that the attack had “cross-border” links to Pakistan. However, the government provided no evidence of this publicly.

Pakistan said it would respond more fully to India’s actions on Thursday, but in the meantime, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad said that India was using “an unfortunate incident of terrorism” as a pretext to jettison a treaty it has long been trying to evade.

India describes such attacks in Kashmir as Pakistan-backed terrorism. Pakistan denies this, and many Muslim Kashmiris consider the gunmen to be part of a home-grown freedom struggle.

Misri said that the Indus Water Treaty would be suspended “until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures its support for cross-border terrorism.” He said a number of Pakistani diplomats in New Delhi were asked to leave, and Indian diplomats were recalled from Pakistan. Misri also said the main land border crossing between the countries would be closed.


Ben-Gvir meets senior GOP officials at Mar-a-Lago
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir met with senior members of the Republican Party at U.S. President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday night.

“I had the honor and privilege of meeting with senior members of the Republican Party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate,” Ben-Gvir tweeted on Wednesday morning.

“They expressed support for my clear stance on how action should be taken in Gaza—that food and aid depots should be bombed to create military and political pressure to bring our hostages home,” he stated.

His office added that during the Mar-a-Lago dinner, Ben Gvir met with GOP House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and was invited to speak to members of Congress and senators from the Republican Party.

Addressing attendees in Hebrew through an interpreter, Ben-Gvir said, “I love you very much, I love the American people. We have a joint war against the jihadists—for many years, I’ve been fighting against them.”‘

He added: “Thank God, we’ve made a few changes in Israel in how we treat jailed terrorists. It used to be like a hotel over there. We took away all their privileges, canteen, showers, television, radio.”

The statement from Ben-Gvir’s office said that the Tuesday evening dinner also included dozens of “senior businessmen” from Miami.

Ahead of the dinner, Ben-Gvir visited a Miami-area police station.

As part of the minister’s first-ever official visit abroad, which started on Monday, Ben-Gvir also met with Jewish community leaders, public figures and American government officials, his office stated.


UN to conduct strategic assessment of UNRWA
António Guterres, the secretary-general of the United Nations, announced on Tuesday that he had named Ian Martin of the United Kingdom to head a strategic review of the impact and future of the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

The U.N. head said Martin would review the agency’s “implementation of its mandate under present political, financial, security and other constraints” and accompanying “consequences and risks” for Palestinians considered refugees by the United Nations.

UNRWA, an agency of the global body that focuses exclusively on Palestinians, has faced widespread criticism, including from Israel, about ties between its employees and terror groups in Gaza.

Guterres added that he is tasking Martin with “identifying options” for member states and the global body, and “considering overall United Nations mandates provided by the General Assembly and the Security Council.”

The review is due to be completed in mid-June.

Under the U.N. system, which classifies descendants of Palestinian refugees of the 1947 and 1967 wars as refugees apparently in perpetuity, UNRWA has faced regular budget crunches, as the list of people for whom it bears financial responsibility continues to grow.

Washington, which is the largest U.N. donor, and other countries have also suspended funding to the global body amid accusations that some UNRWA staff members participated directly in the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attacks and that many UNRWA employees have ties to terror groups in the Gaza Strip.


Outgunned, outnumbered Ein Hashlosha security team failed to resist Oct. 7 onslaught
Outnumbered and outgunned, most of Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha’s security team went into hiding rather than attempting to stop Hamas-led terrorists from rampaging through the community on October 7, 2023, according to an Israel Defense Forces probe published Wednesday, which also found significant failings in the military’s response to the onslaught.

Nonetheless, most of the kibbutz avoided the worst of the day’s massacres, as troops nearby managed to stop many of the terrorists from reaching the community, the army said Wednesday. Those who did make it inside, including a wave of elite Hamas fighters and later a group of armed looters, left without carrying out mass slaughters or taking hostages, despite facing only limited resistance.

In all, three civilians, Silvia Mirensky, Noa Glazberg, and Marcelle Taljah, were murdered by the terrorists. Rami Negbi, chief of Ein Hashlosha’s local security team, was killed battling the terrorists. No hostages were taken from the kibbutz.

The IDF probe into the attack on Ein Hashlosha found that the army showed up to secure the community far too late, and identified issues with the eventual evacuation of the kibbutz.

The findings published Wednesday are the latest in a series of detailed investigations into some 40 battles and massacres that took place during Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, when about 5,600 terrorists stormed across the border, killed some 1,200 people, and took 251 hostages into Gaza, where dozens remain captive.

Similar to other investigations, the probe concluded that the IDF “failed in its mission to protect” the residents of Ein Hashlosha, mainly because the military had never prepared for such an event: an Israeli community being attacked by terrorists, as well as a widespread attack on numerous towns and army bases simultaneously by thousands of terrorists. The military also lacked an intelligence warning, and therefore, troops were unprepared for Hamas’s attack.

The probe into what happened at Ein Hashlosha, carried out by Col. Ziv Nimni — a senior combat engineering officer — covered all aspects of the fighting in the kibbutz and surrounding area.
President inscribes Torah scroll for soldier who jumped on grenade to save friends
An IDF soldier who sacrificed his own life to save his friends on 7 October has been honoured with a Torah scroll dedicated to his memory.

On the morning of the Hamas atrocities on the Gaza border, Sergeant Segev Schwartz, 20, was stationed at the military outpost near Kibbutz Sufa.

As dozens of terrorists infiltrated the base, in an hours long battle, Schwartz, a fighter in the Nahal Brigade’s 50th Battalion, fell after throwing himself on a grenade, saving the lives of many of his comrades.

In a ceremony organised this week by the Ayelet HaShachar non-profit organisation, President of Israel Isaac Herzog and prominent rabbis all wrote letters in a Torah scroll dedicated to Segev’s memory.

Addressing Segev’s parents, President Herzog said: “I know this offers no consolation, but on behalf of the State of Israel, I want to thank you for your special child and his contribution to the country.”

Rabbi Shlomo Ra’anan, chairman and founder of Ayelet HaShachar said: “The heroic act of Sergeant Segev Schwartz and the commemoration of his memory through a Torah scroll symbolise the deep connection between the values of dedication to the country and Jewish traditional values.”

Speaking on behalf of the family, Segev’s mother Sarah said: “Even after he fell, I still communicate with him. Now, after completing this Torah scroll in his memory, I feel I’ve fulfilled what Segev asked of me. He always saw the good in everyone.”
Police find unexploded bomb near Netivot, believe it was left there by Hamas during Oct. 7 attack
The Southern District police say they found an unexploded bomb in southern Israel this morning that they believe was left there by Hamas terrorists during the October 7, 2023, attack.

Officers found the explosive device in a small, suspicious-looking bag in an open area near Netivot.

A spokesman says the bomb was likely left by Hamas terrorists who tried to invade the city on October 7, 2023, but were thwarted by police and local security forces who worked to encircle the city and guard its entry points.

A police bomb squad is working to neutralize and further examine the explosive.
Wildfires trigger mass evacuations near Jerusalem
Massive wildfires sweeping through central Israel on Wednesday have triggered widespread evacuations, road closures, and a full-scale emergency response as flames threaten residential areas near Jerusalem.

The evacuated communities include three moshavs: Eshtaol, Mesilat Zion and Beit Meir and initial estimates speak of at least 3,500 evacuees. The Fire and Rescue Authority has declared a general mobilization across six districts, deploying more than 110 teams, eight firefighting planes and a helicopter.

Police, Border Police and other emergency units remain on the ground, with one Border Police officer reported moderately injured. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Police Commissioner Daniel Levi visited the emergency operations center in Beit Shemesh to oversee the response.

At the center, Netanyahu outlined three priorities in the response to the fires: Avoiding loss of life, including by keeping evacuation routes open; containing the fires, and keeping them from spreading further into the Jerusalem area; and coordinating with neighboring countries willing to assist firefighting efforts if local resources fall short.

“Up until this moment, no community has suffered damage and no person has been injured,” he said.


30 Years of Deception: How Palestinians can find hope and leadership post-Oct. 7 | Our Middle East
Is the Palestinian Authority on the verge of collapse? In this hard-hitting episode of “Our Middle East,” Dan Diker, President of the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs (JCFA), and Khaled Abu Toameh, Senior Fellow at JCFA and the Gatestone Institute, dive deep into the inner workings of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its growing instability—an issue with direct implications for Israel, the Arab world and global security.

As Mahmoud Abbas attempts to appoint a vice president for the first time, Western diplomats hope for reform. Rather than signaling democratic progress, Abbas’s move appears to be another deceptive tactic meant to pacify international donors while entrenching corrupt, authoritarian control. Abu Toameh draws on decades of reporting to expose how the PLO, Fatah and PA leadership have become indistinguishable from Hamas in both rhetoric and ideology, leaving little hope for genuine peace or reform.

Topics explored:
Abbas’s power games and false promises of reform
The Palestinian Authority’s use of “double talk” to mislead the West
Growing disillusionment and suppression within Palestinian society
Economic mafia-style control in the West Bank
Why many Palestinians envy Israel’s democracy
The urgent need for deradicalization and new leadership
Why the PA should face “maximum pressure”

Truth matters: Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks now documented for history
The atrocities committed by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 were recorded by the terrorists themselves on their hip GoPro cameras, their mobile phones and even the phones of their victims.

Nevertheless, within hours, there were those in America and Europe denying that invaders from Gaza, after breaching the Israeli border at 119 locations, had carried out mass murders, sadistic sexual violence, mutilations, hostage-takings and the burning of babies.

That shouldn’t surprise you. After all, there’s my truth, your truth, and his, her and their truths, right?

No. Not right.

Andrew Roberts, one of the world’s most distinguished historians, understood this and it troubled him. He has seen how easy it is to propagate historical lies around the world and across generations.

Serious historiography, by contrast, requires forensic evidence, survivor testimony and other reliable data.

So he did the hard work necessary to produce the “7 October Parliamentary Commission Report Chaired by Lord Roberts of Belgravia.”

Extensively researched by Britain’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on UK-Israel, and published last month, this 300-plus-page document details almost everything that happened over “the two days between the unleashing of the assault on the morning of 7 October 2023 and the liberation of the last of the Kibbutzim.”

In that brief period, Hamas terrorists killed 1,182 people—one of the most lethal terrorist attacks in history.

Almost three out of four victims were civilians, the youngest a 14-hour old infant, the oldest a 92-year-old survivor of the Holocaust. The invaders abducted some 251 hostages. Today, 59 are still held captive, with 24 believed to remain alive in unspeakable conditions.

“Over 90% of those killed or taken hostage were Israeli citizens, including Jewish Israelis, Arab Israelis, and Bedouins,” the report reveals. “Citizens from 44 nations around the world were killed and taken hostage.”

“Hamas orchestrated and led the attack,” the report adds, “with 3,800 of its elite Nukhba forces and members of Izz al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades invading Southern Israel. They were supported by 2,200 individuals from other armed groups, including Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and civilians from Gaza. A further 1,000 individuals stayed in Gaza to operate rocket launchers and provide tactical support.”

Douglas Murray has been blacklisted in Berlin
As a British writer living in Berlin, I recently attempted something that now passes for quietly provocative: I tried to buy a book. Not just any book, but On Democracies and Death Cults, the latest from Douglas Murray.

On Democracies and Death Cults has been born of the last 18 months in Israel, beginning with the massacre by Hamas of Israeli citizens on 7th October. Douglas has sat with the families of those still held hostage in Gaza, mapped the long historical path that led us here, and examined – through first-hand testimony and serious scholarship – how the civilised world is losing its grip on moral clarity.

In most western countries, Douglas’s book has been reviewed, debated and discussed. Here in Germany’s capital though, it has not been challenged or rebutted. Instead, it has largely been sidelined.

To buy the book, I visited Dussmann – the self-anointed KulturKaufhaus (Culture Department Store) on Friedrichstraße, where you can browse books and media in many languages. Its ‘English bookshop’ section (unironically marked by a fluttering tartan banner) is the largest in the city. Yet On Democracies and Death Cults was curiously absent from its shelves.

I asked the woman at the counter where I might find it. Her eyes lit up, not in recognition, but in triumph. ‘Oh, we don’t stock Douglas Murray,’ she beamed.

‘Why?’ I asked.

‘He’s a right-wing author,’ came the reply, as if that explained everything.

‘So this is a leftist bookshop then?’ I asked.

‘No,’ she insisted. ‘It’s not a leftist bookshop – we just don’t sell books for things we don’t agree with.’

I remarked, gently, that it seemed a strange policy for a shop in a democracy: excluding dissent rather than engaging with it. She gave the impression I’d asked her to stock Mein Kampf.

This is not a fringe anarchist zine stand – it’s Berlin’s 7,000 square meter grand central bookstore, widely regarded as a Berlin cultural institution. And yet, here we are. In a city once famed for burning books, we’ve arrived at a more refined approach. You don’t burn books anymore, you just refuse to stock them.


Victor Davis Hanson: “Everything You’ve Heard About Israel Is a Lie”
What if everything you've heard about Israel—from the media, universities, and social justice movements—was wrong?

In this explosive interview, renowned historian and political analyst Victor Davis Hanson exposes the dangerous narratives shaping global attitudes toward Israel. From the October 7 Hamas massacre to the rise of antisemitism on elite college campuses, Hanson explains how cultural Marxism, historical ignorance, and media manipulation have created a hostile climate for truth—and for Jews.

🚨 He breaks down:
Why “decolonization” is just a cover for antisemitism
How elite institutions have made hatred of Israel acceptable
The myth of “proportionality” in warfare
Why Hamas attacked—and what happens if Israel doesn’t destroy them
The double standard between Ukraine and Israel
Why losing deterrence is the most dangerous threat of all

📢 Whether you're pro-Israel, skeptical, or just searching for clarity—this interview will challenge everything you think you know.


Ask Haviv Anything: Episode 10: Thirty years of traumatic peacemaking - what do Israelis really think?
Palestinian advocates like to quip that the current war "didn't begin on October 7." That's true, of course, though unhelpful. It didn't begin in any one specific place. There are no singular first causes in history. When we choose the beginning of the story, we choose its framing and meaning.

For most Israeli Jews, the story of the current war might be said to have begun in the fall of 2000, in the great collapse of Oslo that still casts its long shadow on the Israeli political psyche.

This is that story.

Organiser of Gaza march through Jewish area is Holocaust revisionist who praised Hamas on October 7
One of the organisers of Saturday’s pro-Palestine protest in a Jewish area of Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex has posted a claim denying official accounts of the Holocaust, praised Hamas "heroes" on October 7 and accused Mossad of being behind 9/11.

Last Shabbat, demonstrators marched through Westcliff, a heavily Jewish suburb of Southend, during Passover.

Dozens of protesters chanting “globalise the intifada” paraded through the residential streets as Jewish families were returning home from synagogue.

But the JC can reveal that one of the organisers of the “Essex March for Palestine” was Teresa Diamond, who has a history of highly inflammatory social media posts.

The JC was alerted to the activist’s online activity by investigative research group Gnasher Jew.

In a post on October 7, Diamond wrote: "May Allah protect Palestine and the hero’s [sic] who continue to fight for freedom".

In another post referring to the war in Gaza, Diamond said: “This Holocaust is being committed by white people against brown people, and that’s why it’s acceptable.

“So listen guys, before you start crying about people denying the Jewish holocaust, start accepting the Palestinian holocaust [sic].”

And, describing how she educates her children on history, she added: “I will never again mention the Jewish Holocaust or even accept it, until the whole world accepts the disgusting holocaust of the Palestinian people.”

In a Facebook post, Diamond wrote that there is “absolutely no way in the world that the Jewish Holocaust happened in the way we have been told”.


Peter Dutton reaffirms support for antisemitism citizenship test question and re-vetting Palestinian visas
Peter Dutton has committed to redoing security checks for thousands of Palestinians from Gaza granted visitor visas in Australia as he doubled down on introducing questions on antisemitism in citizenship tests.

In a press conference in Perth on Wednesday, Dutton said Palestinians on visitor visas would be subject to further scrutiny, echoing the Coalition’s previous claims – without evidence – that they are a national security risk. “We won’t compromise on border security. We have been clear about that. Our nation is the greatest in the world,” Dutton said.

“We welcome migrants coming to our country. We have the most successful migration program but we won’t compromise on those settings, which provide screening of people who are coming in from a war zone.”

The Coalition first floated the idea of changing citizenship requirements in February after a viral video emerged of two Sydney nurses allegedly threatening Israeli patients.

At the time Anthony Albanese dismissed the idea as a “thought bubble” along with a proposal to hold a referendum to give the government more power to deport criminals with dual citizenship.

Dutton said on Wednesday he remained committed to changing the citizenship test to include questions on antisemitism.

In August 2024 Dutton had advocated for a temporary pause on granting visas to people from Gaza, claiming the decisions were making Australia less safe due to “a murky process” of visa approvals.
