Replacing Katz as foreign minister is New Hope’s Gideon Sa’ar, whose appointment was also approved by parliament.

60 percent believe Yoav Gallant is best suited for Defense Minister...14 percent for Israel Katz.

The main obstacle remains Gallant, but sources in Likud say Netanyahu won't hesitate to replace him if he doesn't fold

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is said to believe that ‘now is not the time’ for an offensive against Hezbollah...

The premier is planning to replace Gallant with Gideon Saar, former Likud member and...

Gallant, had last week called for the formation of a state-commission inquiry for the 7 October attacks.

...Israeli defense minister Gallant... at this time in April called for a Hostage deal to be made....

4/8 - Right Time To Do A Hostage Deal, Says Israel's Defence Minister [Gallant]

...In mid-May Gallant rejected Netanyahu’s post-war Gaza plan, with the idea of Israeli military rule, furthering tensions.

Indeed, Gantz, war cabinet minister, and Gallant, defense minister, have been clashing with Netanyahu for months...

... there have also been significant amounts of unlawful airstrikes and destruction of civilian infrastructure and housing, a tight blockade of Gaza that has led to a humanitarian catastrophe and amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population, and the use of starvation as a weapon of war. Since the first days of the offensive, Israel has carried out these acts in conjunction with an evacuation system that has flagrantly failed to keep Palestinians in Gaza safe, and in fact put them in harm’s way. Nowhere in Gaza is safe. As this report will show, Israel’s actions have intentionally caused the mass and forced displacement of the majority of the civilian population of Gaza.

According to the United Nations, 1.9 million people were displaced in Gaza as of October 2024 out of a population of 2.2 million people. This report examines the Israeli authorities’ conduct which has led to this extraordinarily high level of displacement and finds these actions amount to forced displacement. Given the evidence strongly indicates that multiple acts of forced displacement were carried out with intent, it amounts to war crimes. The report further finds that the Israeli government’s acts of forced displacement are widespread and systematic. Statements by senior officials with command responsibility show that forced displacement is intentional and forms part of Israeli state policy and therefore amount to a crime against humanity. Israel’s actions appear to also meet the definition of ethnic cleansing.

Israel is the occupying power in Gaza and as such its conduct is governed by international humanitarian law (IHL). Under IHL – or the laws of war – forcible transfer, which means the forced displacement of any civilian inside an occupied territory, is prohibited, and, if committed with criminal intent, is a war crime....

Human Rights Watch has amassed evidence that Israeli officials are instead committing the war crime of forcible transfer, a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions and a crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

7/10 — 🚨 Israel's Negotiation Team Speaks With Haaretz. Describes How Netanyahu Has Leaked Classified Intel To Sabotage Hostage Deals

Trump’s Unfinished Business for ‘Greater Israel’

From annexation to UNRWA, Trump’s Israel advisors should be taken at their word — and Democrats won’t stand in their way, says Lara Friedman.

....Israel-Palestine has never been central for Trump personally, but it is central for a number of the people who he feels accountable to or cares about — starting with Miriam Adelson, who was one of his top donors.

It’s useful to look at what’s unfinished from [the first Trump administration’s] agenda. The selection of Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel [who denies that Israel is even occupying the West Bank] proves that Trump intends to advance and claim credit for achieving the “Greater Israel” dreams of messianic Zionist Jews and evangelical Christians. With Gaza, Hagit Ofran from Peace Now was quoted in Haaretz saying she thinks there are going to be settlements before inauguration.

I think we’re in a “Greater Israel” policy period. They’ve already talked about Israel’s right to gain territory that is taken in self-defense, which of course is an outright repudiation of international law...

...an IDF intel officer has stepped forward to add to the growing body of indications that Israeli leadership had ignored serious intelligence indicating an impending Hamas attack

11/25 — Jerusalem Post: IDF Elite Intel Officer Warned About Hamas Attacks, Ignored

“Gaza is our homeland. From the river to the sea the national rights are only for one people. The nation of Israel. There is nothing called Palestinian people, never was, and will never be.”

This illusion is being peddled by this New Right, an uber-authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, neoconservative sector of the political sphere maintaining themselves as faux populists while retaining all of the inherent systemic supremacies of the typical US oligarchy. They are a branch of that same oligarchy, draping themselves in a pax-Americana to be presented as a bulwark against the “woke left”; seemingly preserving traditional American values against the encroaching dregs of Marxism through a veil of pseudo-patriotism. A new polarity in the old paradigm.

This polarity has contributed to the political rise of figures already entrenched in the orbit of the likes of Peter Thiel...

Established by... founder of the mercenary group Blackwater USA, Erik Prince, the group’s members are a who’s who of far-right personalities...

... several notable figures among the groups approximately 400 members are as follows —

.. Tucker Carlson;

TheMcgwire: "Maybe that is why Tucker was hanging around in the Comet Ping Pong neighborhood so much?"

2008 WAPO article... “Game for Pizza” which

states “Among the VIP regulars [of Comet Ping Pong] are ballet director Septime Webre and talking head Tucker Carlson, but even Donald Rumsfeld has dropped by for a pie.”

Worth noting that Nora Maccoby claimed that the neighborhood she grew up in was “pretty much 80% CIA operatives." (neighborhood being the same on Comet Ping Pong Pizza resides in).

"As I was trying to finish this article, Tucker Carlson decided to host Kevin Spacey for his Christmas Eve show. He prefaced the show by saying Kevin Spacey may be the man to join the presidential race and shake up America’s politics. 🤷‍♂️

...Tucker did not bring up Kevin Spacey flying on Epstein’s Jet to Africa with Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein. [Instead he seemed to be platforming him for a presidential campaign].

" Vance isn’t just a friend of Silicon Valley’s worst billionaires; he is their creation. Peter Thiel, the billionaire tech investor turned digital defense contractor, enabled his entire political career."

': “Jeffrey Epstein boasted about a 2012 lunch meeting with Elon Musk that took place AFTER the registered sex offender served a year in jail for procuring underage girls for prostitution”

"An email from February 2012 from Jeffrey Epstein to a friend, who wishes to not be named, read, 'Just finished lunch with ... (Elon) musk'...

When you go back to Musk’s earlier days, aside from being 2008 WEF Young Global Leader / YGL, I and many others see his affiliation with Peter Thiel through co-founding Paypal as a red flag.

Thiel is also known to have been an associate of Jeffrey Epstein

...The Daily Mail's exclusive in May which described Peter Thiel and the current CIA director William Burns meeting Epstein in the same private meeting..

...2016 Flashback: Peter Thiel Wants to Inject Himself With Young People’s Blood

A few months ago, The Intelligencer published an article on a fresh trove titled, “Who Are the Newly Revealed Jeffrey Epstein Associates?”, which included CIA director Burns, and Peter Thiel of Palantir, Google’s cofounder Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, and even Ehud Barak, former prime minister of Israel….among others.

The Daily Mail reported an exclusive in May which described Peter Thiel and the then-current CIA director William Burns meeting Epstein in the same private meeting, ”The following day Epstein met Thiel on his own from 2pm to 4pm after which Bill Burns, the current director of the CIA who was deputy secretary of state at the time, joined them for an hour.”

To understand the situation better, one should be aware of a formerly classified DOD intelligence report written in 2012 that acknowledges the support of the opposition by western powers.

The US was supporting the opposition... identified to mainly be composed of Islamic extremists, including an Al-Qaeda offshoot, AQI.
