🇮🇱🇸🇦 - A source in the Saudi royal family told Israeli Channel 12:

"Normalization with Israel is unlikely under the current Netanyahu government. If a new government is formed that accepts the two-state solution, normalization could happen".

🇮🇱🇸🇦 - A source in the Saudi royal family told Israeli Channel 12:

"When normalization with Israel occurs, you will see the Saudi royal family—and myself among them—buying homes in Nahariya and vacationing there twice a year".

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸🇪🇬 - There is a possibility that Israeli PM Netanyahu will attend the summit in Sharm El-Sheikh.

- Walla | @thewarreporterr

— Not going to happen, most likely. This is a major security risk not only to him but all the other leaders present.

🇮🇱 — Netanyahu cancels his visit to Sharm al Sheikh.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 - Only four bodies out of twenty-eight were transferred by Hamas to Israel on Monday. It remains to be seen when the bodies of the remaining hostages in Gaza will be handed over. The Red Cross said it could take days or weeks - and there's a possibility some may never be found.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 The FBI has arrested Mahmoud Amin Yaqoub al-Muhtadi, a Palestinian from Gaza living in Louisiana, on suspicion of belonging to the Democratic Front and participating in the 7 October attack on Israel, Fox News reported.

— Another reason mass relocation was never going to work. Not only will the civilians relocate but so will the militants.

— Commentary: A very stupid claim going around right now is that "Hamas is fighting historically Salafi clans, ergo, Hamas is fighting Israeli-armed ISIS!"

Let's dissect this claim with sources:

Following the Second Intifada, many Fatah-aligned clans especially in the Gaza Strip began to be disillusioned with Fatah's participation in the Oslo Accords. At the same time, many of these clans were also Salafi. Thus many Salafi groups of various radical orientations were formed.

The Mujahideen Brigades (infamous recently for the kidnapping of Kfir Bibas) were one of them but so was the Army of Islam, represented by the Doghmush clan. These formerly Fatah-aligned clans became anti-western and anti-Israel jihadists and attacked the IDF many times, they were never proxies. While the Mujahideen Brigades worked with Hamas and became more legitimized, the Army of Islam remained ragtag and more pan-Islamist. The latter has no loyalty to any foreign group and backs both Al Qaeda and ISIS.

The history of Salafism and its connection to jihad in Palestine long predates even the existence of the state of Israel and was fundamental in the current of Rashid Rida (an early Levantine Salafi), Sayyid Qutb (although not exactly a Salafi himself), and Fathi al Shiqaqi (the founder of the Islamic Jihad, although pro-Shiite and Iran).

For Hamas in particular, Saudi-educated Nizar Rayyan represented the Salafi wing of Hamas, and called for a more radical transformation of secular Palestine to an Islamic Emirate.

Here's a picture from circa December 2014 showing an Al Qassam militant holding the ISIS flag (originating from Al Qaeda in Iraq).

Salafism and Palestinian jihad are absolutely tied from the beginning, among all factions. Don't spread nonsense.
