Bennett, Sa’ar, Gantz Fight Over Who Will Oversee Judea and Samaria  

JEWISH PRESS

It began with a disagreement between Naftali Bennett and Defense Minister Benny Gantz as to who will have the authority in the Shinui coalition over law enforcement and construction in Area C of Judea and Samaria, as well as the settlements, according to a Walla report. Area C is the area under Israeli control that the Palestinian Authority is actively trying to take over by creating facts on the ground.

Bennett wanted to create a new and independent office and mechanism for enforcement, as the IDF’s Civil Authority has proved to be generally ineffectual against Arab violations in Area C, though very strong against Jewish violations.

Regavim: Bennett, Shaked, Agreed to Hand the Negev Over to the Bedouin  

By David Israel, JEWISH PRESS

The details of the coalition agreements publicized in the media Monday night (Lapid’s Coalition Deal Keeps Netanyahu Out, Handcuffs Bennett, Favors Arabs, Reform) revealed that Naftali Bennett and Gideon Sa’ar, who blamed Netanyahu for his failure of imposing law and order in the Negev, are not only failing to provide solutions – they are exacerbating the problem, the Regavim movement said Tuesday.

According to Mivzak Live (????? ?????: ‘?????’ ???? ?? ????????? ????? ??????? ?????? ??????), in recent weeks, Yamina held consultations with the Regavim movement on Negev issues. Regavim representatives answered Yamina’s questions with the understanding that the Bedouin Settlements Authority would be included in Ayelet Shaked’s Interior Ministry. The same Regavim officials were led to believe that Yamina shared their concern that the current situation in the Negev is serious and dangerous, and the trends of lawlessness that have been established over the past decade in the Negev must be stopped.

Lapid’s Coalition Deal Keeps Netanyahu Out, Handcuffs Bennett, Favors Arabs, Reform  

By  David Israel, JEWISH PRESS

Channel 12 News’ political reporter Amit Segal on Monday night exposed some disturbing details about the new Lapid-Bennett coalition agreements which make it look more like a honey trap than a victory for the Yamina chairman (?????: ??????? ????????????? ?????? ?? ????? ???-????). Segal reported: “This is the best-kept political secret in the country, Bennett and Lapid hoped to keep these coalition agreements close to the chest until a day before the inauguration.”

Banning Netanyahu from the Knesset
According to the agreement, the coalition government will push a bill that bans any politician who has served for eight consecutive years as prime minister (they could have simply written anyone named Bibi or anyone with a bad comb-over) from running in the Knesset as an MK for four years.

The Depravity of the Democrat Party, the American Left, and the Media  

By Steve McCann, AM THINKER

After nearly 17 months, the Chinese laboratory manipulation of coronaviruses as the origin of Covid-19, the Federal science bureaucracy’s complicity and cover-up, and the motivation behind the overwrought government- and media-sponsored solutions to the pandemic are finally being exposed and can no longer be suppressed by the Democrat party (i.e., mainstream) media.

It is difficult for the average American to fathom the depth of dishonesty and potential treason of those motivated by self-preservation to keep hidden their incestuous relationships with the Communist Chinese and the part they played in the Chinese development of highly infectious viruses as potential military weapons.  And with the Democrat party and their allies in the media abetting the Chinese Communist hierarchy in denying that the Covid-19 virus almost certainly escaped from the laboratory in Wuhan and was maliciously allowed to spread throughout the planet.

The May 2021 Riots and Their Implications  

By Dr. Doron Matza, BESA

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The May riots raise essential questions about the fate of the paradigm that formed the basis of Jewish-Arab relations in Israel over the past decade.

The Jewish public and political discourse in Israel has viewed the riots that occurred in May through a starkly dichotomous prism. Right-wingers saw Israeli Arabs’ attacks on their Jewish compatriots in terms of “the 1948 discourse”—that is, a further example of the irresolvable struggle between Arabs and Jews in the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Left-wingers, for their part, preferred to see the eruption of violence as acts of extremist groups from both sides that need not disrupt Jewish-Arab coexistence in Israel.

Unity government to approve Western Wall egalitarian plaza frozen by Netanyahu  

Prime Minister-designate Naftali Bennett’s Yamina party still has veto power on issues of religion and state.
With the ultra-Orthodox outside coalition, all parties expected to back prayer area compromise, with several highlighting plan in recent meetings with American Jewish leaders

The prospective unity government plans to implement a currently frozen deal to expand the pluralistic prayer pavilion at the Western Wall, members of the nascent coalition told American Jewish leaders last week.

One of those Jewish community leaders told The Times of Israel Monday that lawmakers from Yesh Atid, Labor and Meretz highlighted their intention to reinstitute the plan, which was frozen by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2016 due to pressure from his ultra-Orthodox coalition partners, who refused any move that could be seen as legitimizing pluralistic Judaism.

Regavim: Coalition agreements abandon the Negev  

T. Belman. This is the most contentious part of what we have been told so far.  How can Bennett say with a straight face that he will not cede any land?

The Most Important Victory Since 1967  

By Robert K. Vincent

54 years ago today as I write this, the Six Day War between Israel and her Arab neighbors was underway.  In one of the most stunning military campaigns of the post-WW2 era, Israel confounded her adversaries and changed the course of history in the Middle East, establishing herself as a regional power to be reckoned with.  While Israel has fought many engagements since that time, none have had the singular impact of that conflict…perhaps until now.  The recent operations against Hamas in Gaza, known in Israel as “Operation Guardian of the Walls”, while not involving any seizure of new territory nor involving the totality of the IDF in the way that was seen in 1967, nonetheless may represent a watershed event in the history of modern Israel of no less significance.  The parallels between the two wars are striking in terms of both the political and military dynamics of the conflict.

A straight look at the Israel reality: An interview with Martin Sherman  

By Niram Ferretti, Postato il

Following the latest conflict between Israel and Gaza, L’Informale wanted to hear the opinion of Martin Sherman, former Ministerial Advisor of Yitzakh Shamir and founder and executive director of the Institute for Israeli Strategic Studies, one of the leading experts in the Middle East and the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas encapsulates a new element, riots by Arab-Israeli. In 2004, Israeli historian Benny Morris, said that Arab-Israeli were a time bomb. Was he right?

The right of Jews to pray on Temple Mount is provisional not absolute.  

Temple Mount Loyalists Society v. Police Commander of the Jerusalem Region   Decided: May 18, 1984

The petition concerned the Respondent’s refusal to permit the Petitioners to pray beside the western entrance to the Temple Mount (the Mughrabi Gate) on Jerusalem Day, out of concern that conducting prayer at that particular site would lead to a breach of public order.

The High Court of Justice held:

A.        (1)        The right to assemble and demonstrate is a basic human right in Israel. It is not an absolute right, but rather a relative right, and when it comes into conflict with other rights or interests, it must, at times, retreat in accordance with an appropriate balancing formula.

Organizers Cancel Jerusalem March After Police Refuse to Let Is Pass Through Muslim Quarter  

High Court rejects petition against Temple Mount ban for Jews on Jerusalem Day  May 2019

The Court put the Police in charge of whether to permit them.  This was not the first time they deferred to the police. The problem is that the only concern of the police is maintaining peace and they don’t factor in the need to assert Jewish rights OR INTERESTS according to the law.

Kahanist lawmaker plans anyway to march through the Old City’s Damascus Gate – a flashpoint of tensions in the lead-up to the most recent Gaza fighting – but is likely to do so on his own

The organizers of a planned right-wing march in Jerusalem said on Monday they had decided to cancel the event, set for Thursday, after Israeli police announced they wouldn’t allow the Flag March to pass through the OId City’s Muslim Quarter, citing security concerns.

The march was scheduled for Jerusalem Day last month, and was initially diverted due to security concerns as clashes between police and Palestinians in the city intensified, and dispersed after Hamas fired rockets at Jerusalem from Gaza as tensions peaked. This resulted in an 11-day flare-up between Israel and Gaza.

How Much Longer Must We Endure the Mask?  

By Doris O’Brien, AM THINKER

Not since the glove in the O.J. Simpson murder case has a piece of fabric received more notoriety and discussion than the modern mask.  Even after Joe Biden shuffled up to the mic to take what was supposed to be a verbal victory lap for COVID decline, a surprising number of Americans were still reluctant to believe in the safety of “facing” the world without it.

In a contentious America whose resentments are played out publicly in the name of race, sex, social status, and political affiliation, it is perhaps not surprising that one’s choice to wear or discard a mask has also given rise to controversy.

Who — or What — Occupies Gaza?  

By Lev Tsitrin, AM THINKER

The article of faith that unites all who condemn Israel’s response to Hamas rockets in the latest escalation with Gaza, from the most rabid Islamists to the hyper-sophisticated (or so they think) pundits from the New York Times and dwellers of the ivory tower of academia, is captured by a single word “occupation.” We keep hearing from them that Gaza is occupied, that Gaza is an open-air prison, that Gaza is a “penal colony.” Gazans are oppressed, the theory goes, and Israel is the oppressor.

But let’s take a closer look at the occupation of Gaza: like so much else, the term “occupation” is very relative. While under occupation, Gaza’s rulers — Hamas — managed to amass huge military infrastructure, complete with weapons manufacturies, with thousands of trained soldiers, with a vast network of underground tunnels hundreds of miles long which the Israelis dubbed “the metro” to allow for undetected movement of weaponry and soldiers, with a huge arsenal of rockets, and even with a navy commando unit. Hamas’ police control the day-to-life of Gazans. It levies taxes and pays salaries to its followers.

Key Points  

By Ted Belman

  1. The new Government is to be voted on in Knesset either on June 9 or 14.
  2. 24 hours before voting the coalition agreements will all be released.
  3. All parties have a veto power over anything not in the agreements.
  4. Bibi did not build in J&S because of a freeze.
  5. Bennett may be able to build within the settlement borders. Meretz has suggested it will go along with such building, If so there will be a building boom.
  6. Bennett has the right to invite Shas and UTJ into the government.  If they join, Meretz and Ra’am will no longer be able to hold the government hostage.
  7. As PM, there are many things he can do not requiring Knesset approval.
  8. The Security Cabinet is dominated by rightists.

China is one of the few actors which could potentially save Israel from Iran in favor of stability, a new report by the Institute for National Security Studies exclusively first obtained by The Jerusalem Post.

According to the report, with Dr. Kevjn Lim as lead author on behalf of INSS, China has started to try harder to portray itself as a “more responsible global power.”
