◾Greater Israel (Hebrew: ארץ ישראל השלמה; Eretz Yisrael Hashlema) is an expression, with several different biblical and political meanings over time. It is often used to refer to the historic or desired borders of Israel.

- Tehiya and the National Religious Party are parties which support the idea.

- Annexation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip was part of the platform of the Israeli Likud party, and other parties. On September 14, 2008, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert remarked that "Greater Israel is over. There is no such thing. Anyone who talks that way is deluding themselves".

- Meir Kahane, an ultra-nationalist Knesset member, who founded the American Jewish Defense League, worked towards Greater Israel and Zionist goals.

- In March 2023, the Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich used a map showing all of mandatory Palestine and Transjordan as an undivided unit in a speech in which he declared that the Palestinian people don't exist.

🇸🇾🇺🇦 In the Arabic-language Twitter, an interesting interview with a Turkish-backed Syrian fighter who fought on the Ukrainian side can be found.

General points:
— the situation in some sections of the front remains very difficult for the AFU (especially, in the Zaporizhzhya direction);
— along the frontline, there is very little or even no advance of Ukrainian forces;
— Ukrainian troops are experiencing a great lack of equipment, especially armored vehicles;
— the morale among Ukrainians who have had to spend a year and a half in trenches taking part in non-stop clashes is very low.

🇺🇸🇨🇳#bonds

China's net sales of U.S. debt securities hit a 4-year high.

It should be understood that we are not just talking about Treasuries. There are also so-called agency bonds, there are corporate debt securities, and there are stocks.

What are agency bonds? Well, they're debt securities issued by various government agencies or government-sponsored agencies other than the Treasury. Well, for example, the same mortgage agencies like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

In recent years, Chinese funds have been flowing into such securities, but they have been fleeing from them for a year now.

Marder IFV hit by AT missile on Zap. Front

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦An AFU group consisting of a Tank and 2 x BMPs fell into a trap on the “death road” to Slavyansk.

▪️They were allowed to approach and then attacked with AT missiles

▪️The tank turned out to be tenacious and turned around. One infantry fighting vehicle remained where it was hit, the second vehicle was hit during an attempt to retreat.

▪️For 2.5 hours the enemy was covered with artillery and FPV drones. Due to the difficult situation, reinforcements and an evacuation group were sent, but couldn't adavnce.

▪️In the end, out of 20 militants, only 1 survived.

👉Around the Avdeevsky fortified area, after several days of relative calm, Russian troops, after artillery preparation, resumed the assault on Ukrainian positions in several areas.

🔻On the northern flank, fighters of the Russian Armed Forces, as a result of fierce battles, were able to completely occupy the most important stronghold on the waste heap. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, under the cover of tank fire, retreated behind the railway track. Now the positions are being cleared.

▪️After the initial breakthrough to Berdychi, the Armed Forces of Ukraine transferred several battalions of the 31st and 110th ombres to strengthen the lines. This allowed the enemy to push the Russian Armed Forces towards the railway. The line of control runs along it.

🔻Also, units of the Russian army launched an offensive in the south of Avdeevka for several days. During the attack, with the support of artillery, we managed to advance from the Avdeevskaya ring road to the "450" railway station.

❗️The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces near Avdeevka continues in a systematic manner without drastic and hasty actions to save the lives of personnel. The enemy transferred a large number of forces and means to stabilize the front.

At the same time, rather suspicious activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is also noted in Pervomaisky. Mechanized groups, presumably the 59th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, are being brought into the village. Judging by the movements, the Ukrainian Armed Forces want to attack the Vodyanoye-Sands line from the flank while the Russian Armed Forces are distracted by the offensive.

The AFU are preparing another batch of manpower for the front?

A footage of Ukrainian women at a training ground has appeared on the web.

Israel has begun evacuation of its embassies and consulates across the Middle East.

US bases in Syria and Iraq attacked
▪️ The al-Tanf base on the border with Iraq and Jordan was attacked by 3 combat drones.
▪️Rockets hit the Conoco base in Deir ez-Zor province. The Islamic Resistance of Iraq claims responsibility.
▪️Before this, footage appeared of a kamikaze UAV attack on a US base in northern Iraq .
▪️A Fox News source in the Pentagon confirms the strikes, but did not specify how many UAVs and missiles were used or what damage was caused.
▪️Attacks against American occupiers will likely increase.

🇵🇸🇮🇱☦️The Greek Orthodox Church condemned the Israeli attack on the Church of St. Porphyrios.

The Jerusalem Council of Churches called on Israel to stop the massacre in the Gaza Strip.

By the way, as they write, this church is very ancient, built during the conquest of Palestine by the Crusaders during the Crusades.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Defense Ministry, IDF say they’ll start evacuating residents of Kiryat Shmona in north

The Defense Ministry and the Israel Defense Forces announce that they will begin to evacuate residents from the northern city of Kiryat Shmona to state-subsidized guest houses.

The evacuation comes amid repeated rocket and missile attacks by the Hezbollah terror group and other allied Palestinian factions targeting northern Israel.

Kiryat Shmona has a population of some 22,000 residents, though many have already left amid the ongoing tensions.

📎 Times of Israel

Председатель Еврокомиссии Урсула фон дер Ляйен в ходе выступления в американском Институте Хадсона от 19 октября: «Россия и ХАМАС похожи. Как сказал президент Зеленский, их „суть одна“. И те, и другие убивали и брали в заложники невинных мирных жителей, включая младенцев и детей. Это варварский способ борьбы. И если эту заразу не остановить, она может распространиться из Европы на Ближний Восток и в Индо-Тихоокеанский регион».

Заявления Урсулы фон дер Ляйен являются проявлением крайней формы национализма и ксенофобии, провокацией, нацеленной на поджигание межрелигиозной и межэтнической ненависти.

Почему такие заявления делает Урсула? Потому что из-за коррупционных махинаций с закупкой американских вакцин на десятники миллиардов она полностью на крючке и играет в вашингтонскую игру внутри Евросоюза.

Скомпрометированная председатель Еврокомиссии при этом совершенно «забыла» про миллионы жертв (женщин и детей) американской «войны с террором» в Ираке, Афганистане, Сомали, Ливии, Сирии.

Почему аналогичные заявления делает сам Вашингтон? Потому что русофобскому крылу американского глубинного государства очень хочется посеять у нас межнациональный и межконфессиональный разлад, стравить людей, сыграв на национальных и религиозных чувствах. У них это так лихо получилось на Украине и в других частях света. Но с нами они обломают зубы — не выйдет!

Таких заявлений и различных провокаций будет немало. Именно так и надо к ним относиться.

Наша сила в единстве, основанном на мирном сосуществовании и взаимном уважении представителей различных национальностей и религиозных верований. Здесь тоже враг не пройдёт!

🇺🇸🇺🇦☠️Biden described "assistance" to Ukraine as a "smart investment" that will pay dividends for future generations.

The slaughter of the Ukrainian people is a "smart investment", that's American democracy at its best.

💥 Destruction of Ukrainian 10th Separate Mountain Assault brigade militants near the settlement of Berestovoye.

We pissed off the Muslim world, now we have to piss off the Orthodox world.....
What could possibly go wrong?

Note from a comrade who was in Syria at the time of the famous events:
We were expressly forbidden to strike mosques in Syria, even if it was 200% certain that a militant meeting was now taking place there.
The reason? Yes, it's a legitimate target if there are militants there, but it would lead to local discontent, which would increase radicalization, and that's where we were fighting ISIS. By doing so, we'd be giving ISIS extra manpower. We killed 20 ISIS members and 2,000 will join ISIS?
That's exactly how Israel is radicalizing the people of Gaza right now.
And it's strictly forbidden to touch civilians.
@Slavyangrad

The main points from Dmitry Peskov's briefing are as follows:

On Russia's readiness to evacuate Russian citizens from the Gaza Strip: Work is underway to identify those willing to leave, and we will act according to the situation.

Currently, there is no detailed information on the number of Russians held hostage in Gaza. Russia continues to maintain contact with both sides.

The attempts by the US to pressure and contain Russia are no secret, but they have been ineffective, and they will continue to be so.
The primary concern for Putin is the attitude of Russians, not what they think of him abroad.

On Biden's accusations against Russia: We do not accept such a tone towards Russia and Putin.

Russia and the US are not in bilateral contact on the Middle East.

The situation between Russia and the US has de jure leveled off after the withdrawal of CNTBT ratification. Russia is closely monitoring the situation.

Putin will meet with heads of various faiths on October 25th to discuss international and domestic Russian issues.

The risks to civilians in Gaza will increase when the IDF launches a ground operation.

Putin has not spoken to Middle East leaders in the past few days, but contacts are underway through the Security Council.

The situation in the Middle East is not improving.

Russian diplomats are collaborating with Russian citizens in Israel and Palestine to compile lists of those willing to evacuate.

Putin's trip to the Russian Armed Forces headquarters in Rostov-on-Don was swiftly organized.

Putin regularly visits the headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces and receives reports from the military on-site.
