US National Security Advisor:

“The United States will not sign a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia if Saudi Arabia and “Israel” do not agree to normalize relations.”

After 3+ hours, the Gaza solidarity encampment remains. Protesters have physically resisted police incursions repeatedly. Police majors on-scene are now visibly infighting and falling out of rank due to heat exhaustion.

Relationship between the Kurds and Israel

One of the Palestinian war correspondents in the Gaza Strip wandered amidst the rubble of the shattered city of Khan Younis, aiming to highlight and document the war crimes of the Israeli Occupation. However, he stumbled upon a different kind of surprise when he documented the presence of a Kurdistan flag on one of the walls of the destroyed Palestinian homes that were invaded by the Israeli army and later withdrew from. This raised questions about the nature of the presence of PKK elements within the Israeli army forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly expressed support for the establishment of an independent Kurdish state, stating: "The Kurdish people are a struggling people, and they have demonstrated their political commitment and moderation, and they are worthy of their political independence."

In June2015, Maariv described the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) as "Israel's dream ally." In the same year (2015), the former deputy head of Mossad, Menahem (Nahik) Navot, revealed in his memoirs that Mossad (the Israeli intelligence and special operations agency) had trained and armed Kurdish fighters under the leadership of Mustafa Barzani. The Israeli officer detailed in his book titled The Story of a Mossad Man that he was tasked with establishing ties between "Israel" and the Iraqi Kurds since 1969, where they were carefully trained and armed.

In September 2023, Frederick Hoff, the first American envoy to Syria after the revolution, admitted that the support of "Tel Aviv" for the establishment of a Kurdish state and its assistance in arming elements of the PKK primarily aimed to irritate Turkiye. He emphasized that "Israel" provided logistical and intelligence support to the PKK during its confrontation with the Turkish government.

The Financial Times reported that "Israel" relies almost entirely on oil imported from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (19M barrels a war, >77% of Israel's needs, at significantly reduced prices), in exchange for support from the Jewish lobby in America for the Kurdish cause. Israeli senior officials have long declared their support for the establishment of a separate state for the Kurds, extending from Syria, to Iraq, Iran, and Turkiye.

But the striking development is the reports and indications of the alignment of PKK elements alongside units of the Israeli army, which are committing one of the worst war crimes in Gaza.

Less than a month after the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the local Turkish newspaper, Turkiye, published its report on the cooperation of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) elements with the Israeli Occupation. It stated, "Two thousand elements of this organization were sent to the occupied territories in Gaza as mercenaries to fight alongside the Israeli Occupation army” and added "Zionist forces fear entering the tunnels dug by the resistance, fearing they may not come out alive, so mercenaries from the Kurdistan Workers' Party were used." It has been reported that 2000 mercenaries from European countries, Iraq, Syria, and America have arrived in the occupied territories, all under the umbrella of the PKK.
