Under the watchful eye of military personnel, Israeli President Yitzhak (Isaac) Herzog writes the words "I trust in you" on a shell to be fired at Gaza. Nearly 31 thousand Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, including some 14 thousand children. According to Herzog, there are no innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza. © Twitter

The Israeli news medium Ynet confirmed on March 4 the circulating rumor that Israeli President Herzog will visit the Netherlands in the coming days. On Sunday, March 10, he will join king Willem-Alexander for the opening of the National Holocaust Museum. Herzog will be accompanied by family members of Israelis held hostage in Gaza. He will also meet with Prime Minister Mark Rutte for 'political talks'.

Coming week Israel and the occupied territory of Palestine will receive word from the White House how the West Bank will be carved up to the advantage and "security" of the Jewish settlers. Trampling on the historic rights of the Palestinian people living in the Middle East as refugees. With the signature of the man in the White House, the UN Security Council Resolution will be dropped in the trash bin of US History, including the Rights for Independence and Freedom of all people.

Trump's peace: Abraham's accords and the upheaval in the Middle East - by Barak Ravid in 2022 |

In the four years of his presidency, Trump changed the face of the Middle East: he withdrew from the nuclear agreement with Iran, moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel, presented a plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the highlight - the peace and normalization agreements between Israel and four Arab countries.

The "Abraham Accords" are Trump's greatest achievement, Ravid states, and they would not have come into existence without him - despite and perhaps precisely because of his controversial personality.

The book dives into the intricacies of Trump's tenure and into the depths of the secret alliance between Israel and the Gulf states, and contains insights and exclusive stories from interviews with dozens of Israeli, American and Arab senior officials in Jerusalem, Washington, Abu Dhabi, Manama and Berbat.

Ravid reveals what happened behind the scenes between the leaders, and in particular the decisive part in the achievement of the diplomats, spies and mediators - the lesser known heroes of the biggest breakthrough in the peace process in the Middle East in the last 25 years. Trump's Peace is the most extensive and comprehensive documentation of these four dramatic years in the Middle East. Put aside everything you thought you knew about the Trump administration's relationship with Israel.

His book

The bipartisan goal of US Congress and by extension the White House ... we'll get the Islamic Republic of Iran and the brutal Ayatollahs ... we'll murder them all with our moral ally, Israel, taking the lead.

Very much the theme of the AngloSaxon conservatives joined by the alt-right groups across the Western world ... once again warmongering coming out of the Pentagon, White House and the National Security Council under leadership of neocon John Bolton.

Israel escalates the Gaza war to a regional conflict w/o end

Israeli Defense Minister Briefs US on Military Operations Against Hezbollah | Daily Star Lebanon |

Israel’s defense minister, Yoav Gallant, updated his U.S. counterpart, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, on Sunday about the Israeli military’s ongoing operations against Hezbollah. This came after the exchange of the most intense fire between Israel and the Iran-backed group since the Gaza war began.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Gallant shared that he provided Austin with an assessment of Hezbollah’s threats and detailed the Israel Defense Forces’ (IDF) efforts to reduce the group’s ability to launch attacks against Israeli civilians. Their discussion also covered broader regional concerns and the threats posed by Iran and its allies.

For context, prior to twin attacks on Hezbollah’s communication devices last week, Israeli officials informed the U.S. about an upcoming operation in Lebanon but did not disclose specifics, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Hezbollah escalated its retaliatory rocket attacks on northern Israel and Syria’s Golan Heights occupied by Israel. Some of these rockets targeted the Ramat David Air Base near Haifa. The Israeli military said that most of the Hezbollah rockets were intercepted.

UAE President Sheikh Mohamed meets Biden at White House to start US visit | Arab News |

UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is due in Washington for a first official visit at a time of soaring tensions in the Middle East, seeking to highlight economic and technological cooperation.

Presidential advisor Anwar Gargash said the Emiratis, who want to reorient their economy away from oil and towards new technologies such as AI, were thinking "economy first, prosperity first" in their "strategic relationship" with the United States.

The UAE, expected to be a key contributor to the Gaza Strip's post-war reconstruction, also has close ties with Russia and refused to condemn the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

אנחנו לא דואגים לבטיחות הדיירים, אבל אתה צריך לדאוג לבטיחות שלך. אז תתפנו לאזורים הבטוחים בתל אביב ובאילת.

אם אתה רוצה שהמלחמה הזו תיפסק, עליך לפעול בנחישות נגד ממשלת נתניהו ולדרוש הפסקת אש מיידית.

For your own safety evacuate to the safe areas in Tel Aviv and Eilat. If you want this war to stop, you must act decisively against the Netanyahu government and demand an immediate ceasefire.

Death by Sanctions

Moreover, for Albright to say that food and medicine were not embargoed is to evade the fact that critical public-health needs could not be addressed because of the sanctions. Preventing a society from purifying its water and treating its sewage is a particularly brutal way to inflict harm, especially on its children. Disease was rampant, and infant mortality rose, at least in part because of the sanctions.

And let's not forget that destruction of Iraq's infrastructure was a deliberate aim of the U.S. bombing during the 1991 Gulf War. In his book Terrorism and Tyranny, James Bovard documents that the civilian infrastructure was deliberately targeted and that the health risks to the Iraqi people were anticipated. No wonder two UN humanitarian coordinators quit over the sanctions. As one of them, Denis Halliday, said when he left in 1998:

"I've been using the word "genocide" because this is a deliberate policy to destroy the people of Iraq. I'm afraid I have no other view."

Can Israel retain its seat at the UN amidst Gaza genocide? | TRT World |

Article 6 of the UN Charter can be invoked and Israel may face expulsion from the UN, experts say.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese made a bold yet significant assertion earlier this week, challenging Israel's right to a seat at the United Nations.

"Should there be a consideration of its membership as part of this organisation which Israel seems to have zero respect for?," she asked, while addressing a news conference in Geneva.

Albanese's challenge brings to the forefront a deeper debate--whether a country accused of grave violations of international law should be entertained by the very institution tasked with safeguarding human rights.

Speaking to TRT World, former UN Special Rapporteur on Israeli Violations of Palestinian human rights Richard Falk says, "In order for a country to be expelled from the UN in accordance with Article 6 of the UN Charter, it must follow a recommendation from the Security Council to the General Assembly."

Israel's Spy Agency Snubbed the U.S. Can Trust Be Restored? | NY Times - 26 Aug 2021 |

Israel's new prime minister, Naftali Bennett, heads to Washington promising better relations and seeking support for covert attacks on Iran's nuclear program.

The cable sent this year by the outgoing C.I.A. officer in charge of building spy networks in Iran reverberated throughout the intelligence agency's Langley headquarters, officials say: America's network of informers had largely been lost to Tehran's brutally efficient counterintelligence operations, which has stymied efforts to rebuild it.

Israel has helped fill the breach, officials say, its robust operations in Iran providing the United States with streams of reliable intelligence on Iran's nuclear activities, missile programs and on its support for militias around the region.

The two countries' intelligence services have a long history of cooperation and operated in virtual lock step during the Trump administration, which approved or was party to many Israeli operations in its shadow war against Iran.

That changed after the election of President Biden, who promised to restore the nuclear agreement with Iran that Israel so vigorously opposed. In the spring, Benjamin Netanyahu, then Israel's prime minister, even curtailed intelligence sharing with the United States because he did not trust the Biden administration.

Biden has nothing to show for he had any intention to restore the JCPOA agreement and lift the Trump sanctions ...

Death sentence is an expression of violence in society ... live by the gun ... ye old west ... gunslingers ... Marlboro ... NRA

Decades of detention, mostly in solitary confinement with the ever-present threat of execution, have taken a heavy toll on Hakamada's mental health, according to his lawyers and family.

His sister has long advocated for his release. Last year, when the retrial commenced, Hideko expressed relief and said "finally a weight has been lifted from my shoulders".

Retrials for death row inmates are rare in Japan - Hakamada's is only the fifth in Japan's post-war history.

Along with the United States, Japan is the only G7 country that still imposes capital punishment, with death row prisoners being notified of their hanging just a few hours in advance.

States set to execute five death row inmates this week in highest spree in decades as Missouri refuses to halt sentence of Marcellus Williams convicted of 1998 killing after last-minute bid

Williams' execution would be the third in Missouri this year and the 100th since the state resumed executions in 1989. 

The NAACP, for example, wrote to the governor arguing that the death penalty has been 'historically applied in a racially disparate manner' particularly in Missouri.

Hope for a stay of execution, though, seemed to dwindle when the United States Supreme Court denied Williams' appeal just over an hour before his scheduled death.

'That is not justice,' defense attorney Tricia Rojo Bushnell said after the ruling. 'And we must all question any system that would allow this to occur.

'The execution of an innocent person is the most extreme manifestation of Missouri's obsession with "finality" over truth, justice and humanity at any cost,' she argued.

'Tonight, we all bear witness to Missouri's grotesque exercise of state power. Let it not be in vain.

'This should never happen, and we must not let it continue.'
