“There is no starvation in Gaza. If there were, I think we'd see skinny people, but instead, all we saw is fat terrorists. The only skinny people were the hostages that were starved by the terrorists.”

What @SteveWitkoff said about Qatar is an insult to every person living in Israel, to ever Jewish/Israeli student in America,to all the victims and the hostages held in Gaza,to all the American citizens killed by the terrorists and it is a danger to America’s national security.…

"They're good, decent people."
The Qataris:
"There can be no peace or negotiations with the Zionist entity, for one reason and one reason only: Their faith does not allow for negotiations. Rather it [condones] deception, the violation of…
The Prime Minister's Office released a dramatic video on Saturday night in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the public and says: "Citizens of Israel, I have a dramatic revelation of facts that will shock you."
At the beginning of the video, Netanyahu clarified that he had already made a definitive decision regarding the continuation of the ISA Chief, Ronen Bar: "Ronen Bar will not remain the head of the ISA, there will be no brotherly war, and Israel will remain a democratic state."
Netanyahu added that the government is acting in accordance with the law: "My lack of confidence in the head of the ISA began on October 7 when he did not wake me up nor did he wake others. It increased until the dismissal of Ronen from the negotiation team and all of this happened long before the opening of the investigation regarding Qatar."
In the video, Netanyahu details how he had decided to fire Bar only after receiving the investigations on the October 7th massacre. "I decided the same thing about Herzi Halevi," Netanyahu stated. "Bar asked for several extensions on the deadline I set for concluding the investigations, which I granted."
"On the same day that I was supposed to receive the investigation, in a coincidence that you couldn't make up, the Attorney General declared that she was opening an investigation into allegations that I had received bribes from Qatar." The attorney General has since given legal opinions that since the ISA is involved in the investigation into the supposed bribes, Netanyahu cannot fire the ISA director, as this would constitute interfering in the investigation.
"The investigation is clearly intended to prevent me from dismissing Ronen Bar," Netanyahu concluded. "You tell me - who is really acting due to outside considerations?"

Boy, am I getting a lot of heat about this Netanyahu situation.

But to all those who say he has no right to fire Ronen Bar, the head of the Shin Bet because the courts have blocked it, I really have one question.
But first, some background and some thoughts.

The US Embassy in Israel on Saturday issued a warning to citizens in the area, urging additional caution and stressing that "the security environment is complex and can change quickly."
The Embassy stated: "Due to the current evolving security situation, including the resumption of red alerts and large-scale demonstrations, the US Embassy reminds US citizens of the continued need for caution and increased personal security awareness – including avoiding large gatherings and demonstrations, and knowing the location of the nearest shelter in the event of a red alert as security incidents, including mortar, rocket, and missile fire, and unmanned aircraft system (UAS) intrusions, often take place without any warning. The security environment is complex and can change quickly."
The Embassy urged citizens to be aware of their surroundings, avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, and avoid all areas where there is a heavy police presence. It also urged citizens to monitor local media and follow the instructions of local authorities.
Earlier on Saturday, six missiles were launched from Lebanon towards the Israeli town of Metula. Three of the missiles were intercepted, and the rest did not reach Israel.
On Friday night, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF prior to crossing into Israeli territory. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol; it is believed that the missile broke apart over Saudi Arabia.
An Orthodox Jewish passenger says a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom while he was experiencing constipation, exposing his genitalia to other flyers during a flight from Tulum, Mexico, to Houston.
Yisroel Liebb, of New Jersey, described his trip through allegedly unfriendly skies in a federal lawsuit this week against the airline and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, whose officers he said boarded the plane upon landing and took him away in handcuffs.
Liebb and a fellow Orthodox Jewish traveler said the pilot made disparaging remarks about their faith. They said they were forced to miss a connecting flight to New York City while U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers paraded them through an airport terminal, placed them in holding cells and searched their luggage.
“CBP Officers responded to reports of a disturbance on a flight at the request of the airline,” CBP Assistant Commissioner for Public Affairs Hilton Beckham said. “Due to the ongoing litigation, we are unable to provide any further comment.”
United Airlines declined to comment. Messages seeking comment were left for a lawyer representing Liebb and the other traveler, Jacob Sebbag.
In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, Liebb said he was in the bathroom in the back of the plane for about 20 minutes on Jan. 28 when a flight attendant woke Sebbag from a nap and asked Sebbag to check on him.
Liebb said he explained his gastrointestinal predicament and assured Sebbag that he would be out soon. Sebbag then relayed that to the flight attendant, the lawsuit says.
About 10 minutes later, with Liebb still indisposed, the pilot approached Sebbag and asked him to check on Liebb, the lawsuit says. The pilot then yelled at Liebb to leave the bathroom immediately, the lawsuit says.
Liebb said he told the pilot that he was finishing up and would be out momentarily.
The pilot responded by breaking the lock, forcing the bathroom door open and pulling Liebb out with his pants still around his ankles, exposing his genitalia to Sebbag, flight attendants, and nearby passengers, according to the lawsuit.
Liebb and Sebbag said the pilot then pushed them back to their seats while threatening to have them arrested and making remarks about their faith and how “Jews act.”
After the two-hour flight landed in Houston, the men said about a half-dozen Customs and Border Protection officers boarded and escorted them off the plane.
Liebb said when he asked why they were being detained, an officer tightened his handcuffs and responded: “This isn’t county or state. We are Homeland. You have no rights here.”
The men said United booked them on a flight to New York City the next day for free, but any savings from the complementary tickets were lost because they had to pay for an overnight hotel stay and food during their delay.

Ben & Jerry’s got me through untold breakups in college.
Drowning my sorrows in a pint was a great consolation prize for my heartbreak.
But in 2021, I soured on the brand when it announced plans to stop selling its ice cream in what it referred to as the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
Its hostility to Israeli policy grew even more poisonous after Oct. 7.
The good news?
Recent pushback by critics — and consumers — prompted B&J’s parent company, Unilever, to respond, just as other companies have been shedding their DEI and woke images.
And that’s major grounds for hope.
A 4-month-old New Jersey infant perished after being left for an “extended period” in a hot car — and his father has been charged in the tragic death, authorities said.
Investigators did not disclose just how long they suspect ME son was left on his own inside the dad’s Toyota minivan Tuesday in Lakewood, when temps reached a high of 63 degrees.
Local news footage shows officers around the parked van, which appears to have been left in direct sunlight.
Lakewood cops received a 911 call about an unresponsive child at approximately 1:45 p.m. and officers were dispatched to a residential block near Fifth Street between Monmouth and Princeton avenues, near a kosher supermarket market and a pair of synagogues. ME lives three blocks from where the van was parked.
“Responding Officers found Hatzolah Medical Services attempting to render lifesaving aid to a 4-month-old male infant,” the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office said.
The boy was taken to Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus in Lakewood, where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives eventually determined the boy “was left alone in ME's vehicle for an extended period of time,” prosecutors said.
ME was arrested Thursday and charged with child endangerment after surrendering to police. He was released by a judge hours later.
The family did not respond to messages.
The baby’s name was not released by investigators.
