---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel's president said that the IDF targeted Hamas' chief in Qatar because he objected to a ceasefire deal towards ending the war in Gaza.​

Isaac Herzog told the Daily Mail on Wednesday: 'We targeted Khalil al Hayya because he objected to a deal on Gaza. He kept saying "Yes, but" in negotiations.'

'He is number one in Hamas and has the blood of thousands of Israelis on his hands,' the president said ahead of a summit with Sir Keir Starmer in London today.

'[Hayya] was one of the planners of October 7.'

Israel closed ranks to defend the decision to target Hamas leaders in Doha on Tuesday after the attack on negotiators drew rare rebuke from Donald Trump.

Its ambassador to the U.S. said on Wednesday it was the 'right' decision to target a complex where a delegation was meeting to discuss Trump's ceasefire proposals.

'We don't always act in the interests of the United States,' Danny Danon told Israel's 103FM radio station, while emphasizing 'appreciation' for U.S. support in general.

Netanyahu signs E1 settlement plan, vowing 'no Palestinian state'

Netanyahu signs E1 settlement plan, vowing 'no Palestinian state'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally signed an agreement Thursday to advance the controversial E1 settlement expansion plan in the occupied West Bank, declaring unequivocally that "there will be no Palestinian state" and that "this place belongs to us".

The signing ceremony at the Ma'ale Adumim settlement, just east of Jerusalem, marked a pivotal moment as Netanyahu officially endorsed the long-stalled project that critics say will effectively sever the West Bank and eliminate prospects for a contiguous Palestinian state. The plan calls for constructing 3,400 new housing units on the sensitive 12-square-kilometer E1 tract of land, with Netanyahu promising to "double the city's population" to 70,000 residents within five years.

International Condemnation Mounts

The timing of Netanyahu's announcement carries particular significance, coming as multiple Western nations prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood at the ongoing UN General Assembly. Just hours before Netanyahu's ceremony, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on EU member states to "consider recognising the State of Palestine" by a vote of 305 in favor, 151 against, and 122 abstentions.

According to Reuters, France, Britain, Canada, Australia, and Belgium have all announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state during this month's UN General Assembly, though some have attached conditions. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has previously warned that the E1 project would pose an "existential threat" to a contiguous Palestinian state.

Strategic Geographic Impact

The E1 area sits at a crucial juncture between Jerusalem and the existing Ma'ale Adumim settlement, near routes connecting the northern and southern West Bank. Palestinians and international observers warn the development would complete a crescent of Israeli settlements around East Jerusalem, effectively dividing the occupied territory and isolating the proposed Palestinian capital from the rest of the West Bank.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who approved the initial construction plans in August, stated the project is designed to "bury the idea of a Palestinian state". At Thursday's ceremony, Smotrich suggested Israel would soon celebrate the "application of sovereignty throughout Judea and Samaria," using the biblical name for the West Bank.

The total investment for the E1 project, including new roads and infrastructure upgrades, is estimated at nearly $1 billion. Israeli NGO Peace Now warned that infrastructure work could begin within months, calling the plan "deadly for the future of Israel and for any chance of achieving a peaceful two-state solution".

All Israeli settlements in the West Bank, occupied since 1967, are considered illegal under international law, a position supported by the International Court of Justice in its landmark ruling last year.

Israel 'launches ground invasion into Gaza City'

Witnesses reported that tanks were rolling into the heart of the city in 'levels of war not seen in northern Gaza in possibly two years'.

What did the commission find?​

The Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory concluded that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.

It said there were reasonable grounds to conclude that Israel had carried out four of the five genocidal acts defined in the 1948 Genocide Convention since 2023.

These included killing members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and preventing births.

The report alleges Israeli authorities and forces have committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza through:

Killing members of a group

Through attacks on protected objects, targeting civilians and other protected persons, and the deliberate infliction of conditions causing deaths

Causing serious bodily or mental harm

Through direct attacks on civilians and protected objects, severe mistreatment of detainees, and environmental destruction

Deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to destroy the group

By destroying structures and land essential to Palestinians, destruction and denial of access to medical services, forced displacement, blocking essential aid, water, electricity and fuel, reproductive violence, and specific conditions impacting children

Preventing births

With the December 2023 attack on Gaza's largest fertility clinic. The attack reportedly destroyed 4,000 embryos and 1,000 sperm samples and unfertilised eggs

Israeli minister details Gaza real estate split with US

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich described Gaza as a potential "real estate bonanza" during a Tel Aviv conference on Wednesday, claiming that Israel is negotiating with the United States about dividing up the territory after the war ends. His comments come as Israeli forces intensify their offensive in Gaza City, with the Palestinian death toll now exceeding 65,000.

Speaking at an urban renewal conference, Smotrich announced that a "business plan" for Gaza had been placed on President Donald Trump's desk. The far-right minister, who is sanctioned by the UK, Canada, and Australia, stated that discussions are underway with the Trump administration about how to share proceeds from any future redevelopment.

"We have paid a lot of money for this war. We need to decide how we are dividing up the land in percentages," Smotrich said. He added that "the demolition phase, which is always the first phase of urban renewal," had been completed and that construction would now be "much cheaper".

Smotrich's remarks mirror President Trump's earlier proposal to transform Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" under US control. In February, Trump announced his intention for America to take over the territory and relocate its 2.2 million Palestinian residents to create a luxury resort destination.nbcnews+1

A White House official confirmed to NBC News that Trump supports reconstruction efforts in Gaza, but only "on the condition that Hamas disarms and steps down from power". Recent reports indicate the Trump administration is considering a plan for decade-long US control of Gaza, potentially relocating a quarter of its population permanently.cnbc+1

Legal experts warn that such plans would violate international law. Adil Haque, a law professor at Rutgers University, told NBC News that the proposal is "tied to the idea of expelling the civilian population and taking permanent control over Gaza. That is illegal".nbcnews

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Smotrich's comments as "official admissions" of Israeli intentions to destroy Gaza and displace its population. Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs similarly criticized the remarks as undermining prospects for a two-state solution.arabnews

Smotrich's comments come amid Israel's intensified ground offensive in Gaza City, which began Monday with the stated goal of seizing full control of the area. The assault has prompted thousands of Palestinians to flee southward, with over 55,000 people evacuating northern Gaza between Sunday and Wednesday.reuters+1

Gaza's Health Ministry reported the death toll has now surpassed 65,000 Palestinians since the conflict began in October 2023, with nearly 100 killed in the past 24 hours alone. The ministry noted that many victims remain trapped under rubble, making the true casualty count likely higher.aa

The UN estimates that approximately 92 percent of residential structures in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed since the war began. Telecommunications blackouts across the territory are hindering rescue efforts and civilian evacuations as Israeli tanks advance deeper into Gaza City.cnbc+1

Comment: It is pointless highlighting any of the below text - every syllable is a highlight

“Zionist colonization must either be terminated or carried out against the wishes of the native population. This colonization can, therefore, be continued and make progress only under the protection of a power independent of the native population – an iron wall, which will be in a position to resist the pressure to the native population. This is, in toto, our policy towards the Arabs…” Vladimir Jabotinsky, The Iron Wall, 1923.

“If we are going to admit claims on conquest thousands of years ago, the whole world will have to be turned upside down.” Lord Sydenham, Hansard, House of Lords, 21 June 1922.

The Palestinians are “..beasts walking on two legs.” Menahim Begin, speech to the Knesset, quoted in Amnon Kapeliouk, ‘Begin and the “Beasts”‘, New Statesman, 25 June 1982.

“When we have settled the land, all the Arabs will be able to do about it will be to scurry around like drugged cockroaches in a bottle.” Raphael Eitan, Chief of Staff of the Israeli Defence Forces, New York Times, 14 April 1983.

“How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to.”Golda Meir, March 8, 1969.

“If it is proper to ‘reconstitute’ a Jewish state which has not existed for two thousand years, why not go back another thousand years and reconstitute the Canaanite state? The Canaanites, unlike the Jews, are still there.” H.G. Wells, quoted in Palestine Dilemma: Arab Rights Versus Zionist Aspirations, by Frank C. Sakran, Public Affairs Press, 1948, p. 204.

“We must expel Arabs and take their places.” David Ben Gurion, future Prime Minister of Israel, 1937, Ben Gurion and the Palestine Arabs, Oxford University Press, 1985.

“A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else-or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE!… Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important… to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot – or else I am through with playing at colonizing.”Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of Revisionist Zionism (precursor of Likud), The Iron Wall, 1923.

“Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We shall not achieve our goal if the Arabs are in this small country. There is no other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to neighboring countries – all of them. Not one village, not one tribe should be left.” Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency’s Colonization Department in 1940. From “A Solution to the Refugee Problem” Joseph Weitz, Davar, September 29, 1967, cited in Uri Davis and Norton Mevinsky, eds., Documents from Israel, 1967-1973, p.21.

“The thesis that the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only bluff, which was born and developed after the war.” Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Haaretz, 19 March 1972.

“We shall reduce the Arab population to a community of woodcutters and waiters” Uri Lubrani, PM Ben-Gurion’s special adviser on Arab Affairs, 1960. From “The Arabs in Israel” by Sabri Jiryas.

“…if people become accustomed to the large figure and we are actually obliged to accept the return of the refugees, we may find it difficult, when faced with hordes of claimants, to convince the world that not all of these formerly lived in Israeli territory. It would, in any event, seem desirable to minimize the numbers…than otherwise.” Israeli official Arthur Lourie in a letter to Walter Eytan, director general of the Israeli Foreign Ministry (ISA FM 2564/22). From Benny Morris, “The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem 1947-49”, p. 297.

“If we thought that instead of 200 Palestinian fatalities, 2,000 dead would put an end to the fighting at a stroke, we would use much more force….” Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, quoted in Associated Press, November 16, 2000.

One of the most enduring and deceptive slogans of Zionism was coined by Israel Zangwill almost 100 years ago: Palestine was a “land without people for a people without land.”

After paying a visit to Palestine in 1891, the Hebrew essayist Achad Ha-Am commented: ” Abroad we are accustomed to believe that Israel is almost empty; nothing is grown here and that whoever wishes to buy land could come here and buy what his heart desires. In reality, the situation is not like this. Throughout the country it is difficult to find cultivable land which is not already cultivated.”

The removal of Arabs bodily from Palestine is part of the Zionist plan to “spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment…Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried away discreetly and circumspectly.” Theodore Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.

In 1899, Davis Triestsch wrote to Herzl: ” I would suggest to you to come round in time to the “Greater Palestine” program before it is too late… the Basle program must contain the words “Great Palestine” or “Palestine and its neighbouring lands” otherwise it’s nonsense. You do not get ten million Jews into a land of 25,000 Km2″.

Vladimir Jabotinsky (the founder and advocate of the Zionist terrorist organizations): “Has any People ever been seen to give up their territory of their own free will? In the same way, the Arabs of Palestine will not renounce their sovereignty without violence.” Quoted by Maxime Rodinson in Peuple Juif ou Problem Juif. (Jewish People or Jewish Problem).

David Ben Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): ” If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp. 121-122.

Ben Gurion also warned in 1948 “We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return.” Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes, “The old will die and the young will forget.”

Also Ben Gurion stated ” The present map of Palestine was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill — From the Nile to the Euphrates.”

“Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our time is the emergence in the newly created State of Israel of the Freedom Party (Herut), a political party closely akin in its organization, method, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties.” Albert Einstein, Hanna Arendt and other prominent Jewish Americans, writing in The New York Times, protest the visit to America of Menachem Begin, December 1948. Begin and Yitzhak Shamir who were members of the party became Prime Ministers.

Martin Buber, Jewish Philosopher, addressed Prime Minister Ben Gurion on the moral character of the state of Israel with reference to the Arab refugees in March 1949: “We will have to face the reality that Israel is neither innocent, nor redemptive. And that in its creation, and expansion; we as Jews, have caused what we historically have suffered; a refugee population in Diaspora.”

“It lies upon the people’s shoulders to prepare for the war, but it lies upon the Israeli army to carry out the fight with the ultimate object of erecting the Israeli Empire.” Moshe Dayan (Israel Defense and Foreign Minister), on February 12 1952. Radio Israel.

“When we (followers of the prophetic Judaism) returned to Palestine…the majority of Jewish people preferred to learn from Hitler rather than from us.” Martin Buber, to a New York audience, Jewish Newsletter, June 2, 1958.

Aba Eban (the Israeli Foreign Minister) stated arrogantly: ” If the General Assembly were to vote by 121 votes to 1 in favor of “Israel” returning to the armistice lines– (pre June 1967 borders) Israel would refuse to comply with the decision.” New York Times June 19, 1967.

“Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I don’t blame you because geography books no longer exist, not only do the books not exist, .The Arab villages are not there either. Nahal arose in the place of Mahlul; Kibbutz Gvat in the place of Jibat; Kibbutz Sarid in the place of Huneifis; and Kfar Yehushu’a in the place of Tal al Shuman. There is not one single place that did not have a former Arab population.” Moshe Dayan’s address to the Technion, Haifa (as Quoted in Haaretz, April 4, 1969).

“There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed.” Golda Maier Israeli Prime Minister June 15, 1969.

“The only solution is Eretz Israel, or at least Western Eretz Israel (=all the land west of Jordan River), without Arabs. There is no room compromise on this point … We must not leave a single village, not a single tribe.” Joseph Weitz, Director of the Jewish National Fund, the Zionist agency charged with acquiring Palestinian land, Circa 194. Machover Israca, January 5, 1973 p.2.

“Hitler’s legal power was based upon the ‘Enabling Act’, which was passed quite legally by the Reichstag and which allowed the Fuehrer and his representatives, in plain language, to be what they wanted, or in legal language, to issue regulations having the force of law. Exactly the same type of act was passed by the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) immediately after the 1067 conquest granting the Israeli governor and his representatives the power of Hitler, which they use in Hitlerian manner.” Dr. Israel Shahak, Chairperson of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights, and a survivor of the Bergen Belsen concentration camp, Commenting on the Israeli military’s Emergency Regulations following the 1967 War. Palestine, vol. 12, December 1983.

I see “many similarities in the oppression of Blacks in South Africa and of Palestinians.” Dennis Goldberg, a Jewish South African sentenced to life imprisonment for “conspiring to overthrow the apartheid regime,” is released through the intercession of Israeli officials, states on arrival in Israel, March 1985. He called for a total economic boycott of South Africa, singling out Israel as a major ally of the apartheid regime. Pledging never to stay in Israel, Goldberg moves to London.

“It is forbidden to sell apartments in the Land of Israel to Gentiles.” Mordecai Eliayaho, the Israeli Chief Rabbi commenting on an attempt by a Palestinian to buy an apartment owned by the Jewish National Fund in East Jerusalem. Ha’aretz January 17, 1986. The same situation was repeated many times, and that decision is legalized now by the Israeli Supreme Court.

“Jewish blood and a goy’s (gentile’s) blood are not the same.” Israeli Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburg, Inferring that killing isn’t murder if the victim is Gentile. Jerusalem Post, June 19,1989.

“I am a black South African, and if I were to change the names, a description of what is happening in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank could describe events in South Africa.” Archbishop Desmond Tuto, observes during Christmas visit to Jerusalem, December 25, 1989. From Israeli daily Ha’aretz, cited in Palestine Perspectives, January/February 1990.

“The past leaders of our movement left us a clear message to keep Eretz Israel from the Sea to the River Jordan for future generations, for the mass aliya (=Jewish immigration), and for the Jewish people, all of whom will be gathered into this country.” Former Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir declares at a Tel Aviv memorial service for former Likud leaders, November 1990.

The Balfour Declaration to Baron Rothchild, on the 2nd of November, 1917 “His Majesty’s Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”

“In Palestine we do not propose even to go through the form of consulting the wishes of the present inhabitants of the country”Lord Balfour in private memorandum to Lord Curzon, 11 August 1919.

  1. “If it is proper to ‘reconstitute’ a Jewish state which has not existed for two thousand years,
  2. why not go back another thousand years and reconstitute the Canaanite state?
  3. The Canaanites, unlike the Jews, are still there.”
H.G. Wells, quoted in Palestine Dilemma: Arab Rights Versus Zionist Aspirations, by Frank C. Sakran, Public Affairs Press, 1948, p. 204.
  • The Canaanite area generally corresponds to the Bronze Age period from about 3300 BC to 1200 BC, with distinct phases such as the Early Bronze Age (3500–2000 BC), Middle Bronze Age (2000–1550 BC), and Late Bronze Age (1550–1200 BC). Canaanite culture was prominent during this time, coinciding with Egyptian New Kingdom influence especially from c. 1550 to 1200 BC.
  • In comparison, the period associated with Judea and Samaria corresponds mostly to the Iron Age and later periods. Specifically, the Israelite period is typically dated from around 1000 BC (early Iron Age IIA) to about 732 BC, when the kingdoms of Israel (Samaria) and Judah (Judea) existed as distinct entities. Judea and Samaria were under various empires from the Assyrian period (starting 732 BC) onward through Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman periods.
In brief:
  • Canaanite period: Approximately 3300 BC to 1200 BC (Bronze Age)
  • Judea and Samaria period (Israelite kingdoms and successor empires): Approximately 1000 BC to 732 BC for early kingdom phases, followed by Assyrian and later imperial rule through the 1st millennium BC and beyond.wikipedia+2

GENETICS

Genetic and archaeological studies confirm that modern populations in the region—including Palestinians and many Jews—are partly descended from the ancient Canaanites who inhabited the Levant thousands of years ago.biblicalarchaeology+3

Genetic Evidence​

  • Recent DNA studies reveal that both Jewish and Arab-speaking populations in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon possess significant ancestry from ancient Canaanite populations. Palestinians, in particular, have been found to have more than half, and sometimes up to 80%, of their ancestry linked to Canaanites.english.tau+2
  • These findings do not constitute direct, uninterrupted cultural continuity. The Canaanites as a distinct people disappeared through assimilation and intermarriage with other populations, including Israelites, Philistines, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, and others.wikipedia+1

Historical Context and Identity​

  • Neither Jews nor Palestinians are Canaanites in the sense of preserving an unbroken community or culture from the Bronze Age. The Canaanite civilization itself faded as the Iron Age began, with new identities and social structures emerging.biblicalarchaeology+1
  • Claims of descent are sometimes used polemically in modern discourse. While some Palestinians assert a direct Canaanite lineage to emphasize deep roots in the region, most historians and geneticists clarify that today's populations are a complex blend of multiple ancient and more recent groups.un+1

Summary​

  • The idea that the Canaanites "are still there" does not hold if interpreted as a living, separate nation or people. It is more accurate to say that many in the region, including Palestinians as well as Jews, have partial genetic descent from the ancient Canaanites, but do not directly embody the old Canaanite identity, language, or culture.reddit+4
  • HG Wells’s claim highlights historical continuity in ancestry, but not in political or cultural terms. There is no contemporary “Canaanite state” to reconstitute, nor are there people living as Canaanites by name or practice today.
