The ferocious campaign against Netanyahu

As Israelis prepare for the October 27 election, the dispute regarding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's accountability is becoming a central campaign issue.

It is no trivial matter: Did Netanyahu receive a 45-minute call from the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, ten days before October 7, warning him that Hamas had decided to launch a devastating attack on Israel?

And had the then-CIA Director William Burns also been warned? Did Netanyahu simply file the warning away and ignore it?

The Israeli army on Thursday night destroyed the underground facilities in the Ali al-Taher Ridge area of southern Lebanon after recently establishing operational control over the strategic Hezbollah installation.

The terrorist infrastructure that was dismantled extended for more than two kilometers. Dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles, and UAVs, as well as machine guns, dozens of anti-tank missiles, and hundreds of mines and explosive devices, were located inside.

Joint statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz on the destruction of the Hezbollah facility at the Ali Taher ride in southern Lebanon:

This was a strategic terror infrastructure built over two decades, with Iranian funding and planning. The terror infrastructure and the command center on the ridge were designed to serve as the staging base for the conquest of the Galilee, and had observation and fire dominance over Metula and Kiryat Shmona. Their destruction completes the achievement of operational control over the Ali Taher ridge – above and below ground.

More than 50,000 people took part in the central Selichot (repentance) prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem last night, on the eve of Rosh Hashanah.

Since the beginning of the month of Elul, around one million worshippers have come to the Western Wall for the Selichot prayers.

Israel’s population reaches 10.3 million ahead of Jewish New Year

Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics reported that the country’s population stood at approximately 10.305 million as of Rosh Hashanah eve, with Jewish and other residents making up 78.3% and Arab residents 21.7%, alongside roughly 304,000 foreign residents.

The population grew by about 124,000 people over the past year, a growth rate of 1.2%, driven by roughly 182,000 births and 50,000 deaths.

Net migration was negative, with the population declining by about 8,000 due to migration. While around 24,000 new immigrants arrived along with 4,000 through family reunification, roughly 57,000 Israelis emigrated, only partially offset by about 21,000 returning citizens.

Earlier this week (Monday), the IDF struck in the Khan Younis area in the southern Gaza Strip and eliminated Ismail Ibrahim Darwish Kandil, a Nukhba terrorist in the military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization.

The terrorist infiltrated Israeli territory and took part in the killing of the Nahal Brigade Commander, Colonel Yonatan Steinberg, during the October 7th Massacre.

American opinion turns against Israel

A new Quinnipiac poll finds more registered US voters now sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis, a dramatic shift from the overwhelming support Israel received after Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre.

The results underscore the political and cultural challenge facing Israel as the war against Hamas and Iran’s terror network continues.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday reiterated his believe that Hamas is willing to give up its weapons under his peace plan for the Gaza Strip.

“We got the hostages back,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “You know, people forget there’s not a lot of fighting in Gaza. Hamas is now willing to give up their weapons.”

US Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa told the Arabic broadcaster Al-Afdal:

"The Ali Taher ridge has fallen; didn't you see the Israeli flag flying over it?"

Michel Issa is not only the US Ambassador to Lebanon but is himself of Lebanese origin, a Maronite Christian, and a businessman. 

The almost triumphant undertone of his remark is all the more remarkable. For Issa, the sight of the Israeli flag on the strategic high ground in southern Lebanon appears to be less a provocation than a visible sign of Hezbollah’s defeat.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday thanked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his Rosh Hashanah greetings, saying the two countries had transformed ties into an “unprecedented partnership between two great democracies.”

Norway might jail citizens for buying from "Jewish settlers"?

Norway is advancing legislation that could impose up to three years in prison for intentional violations of a proposed ban on specified trade and economic activity involving Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem.

Norway’s Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told the NRK public broadcaster on Sunday that he expects parliament to approve the measure this fall.

Oct. 7 becomes Israel’s election battlefield

With Israel heading toward an Oct. 27 election, renewed reports about pre-war warnings are putting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security record under fresh scrutiny.

An Egyptian warning is part of the documented record, while a reported personal warning from the UAE president remains disputed and has been denied by Netanyahu. The deeper question is not just what one man knew, but how Israel’s political, military and intelligence leadership failed so completely.
