Israel bars Red Cross from visiting jailed terrorists
By World Israel News Staff
Israel’s defense chief on Wednesday banned members of the International Committee of the Red Cross from visiting with jailed Arab terrorists, citing security concerns.
According to a statement by the Israeli Defense Ministry, the decision was made based on recommendations presented by the Shin Bet security agency and after Defense Minister Israel Katz (Likud) was convinced that allowing such visits would endanger state security.
The blanket ban prohibits ICRC officials from meeting with the thousands of Arab terrorists held in custody under the Law on the Incarceration of Unlawful Combatants, including thousands of detainees captured during or after October 7, 2023.
Those detainees include terrorists directly involved in the Oct. 7 massacres.
“The opinions presented to me indicate without any doubt that visits by the Red Cross to the terrorists in prison would seriously harm the security of the state,” said Katz. “The security of the state and of our citizens comes before everything else.”
The decision comes following pressure from within the government and the leadership of Israel’s prison system not to permit the ICRC visits.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has lobbied for a ban on the ICRC visits, a position supported by the Israel Prison Service and its commissioner, Kobi Yaakobi.
In contrast, the National Security Council had opposed a sweeping ban on the ICRC visits, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly backing the NSC’s position.
Netanyahu and the NSC had reportedly favored allowing the ICRC some visitation rights, considering the group a less overtly hostile alternative to United Nations-linked agencies that have also demanded third-party visits to jailed Arab terrorists.
Blogger Tracks Down Hamas Supporter who worked in Yerushalayim Gas Station ... Could Have Been Catastrophe
Yedidya Epstein says he tracked Yaman Obeid for months after noticing alarming posts showing weapons and Hamas propaganda.
When he learned Obeid was working at a gas station near Jerusalem ahead of tomorrow’s major rally, he alerted police. Yassam officers arrived quickly and arrested Obeid before any attack could occur.
Red Cross Partnered With Hamas To Stage Fake ‘Recovery’ of Hostage Remains in Gaza
The International Committee of the Red Cross staged a Fake Hostage Recovery remains in Gaza and then called it “unacceptable,” but the Israeli Foreign Ministry accused the organization of being complicit in the charade.
“We appreciate the Red Cross condemnation of Hamas’s staged ‘burials’ and ‘discoveries’ of hostage bodies, which they previously extracted from Hamas holding sites,” the Israeli ministry stated on Wednesday.
“There seems to be a gap between what the Red Cross office knows and reality, given footage of Red Cross staff at the deception,” the ministry said. “We trust the Red Cross will take action regarding lies their staff apparently report upwards.”
A spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office told JNS that the terror organization tried to pull a fast one on both Israel and on U.S. President Donald Trump.”
“Hamas cheated President Trump. Hamas also cheated the Red Cross during this process,” the spokesman told JNS. “We want to believe they weren’t part of this.”
“Their role is to execute the mission to bring our hostages back home,” he added.
The Red Cross told JNS on Tuesday that it hadn’t been aware that a slain hostage’s body “had been placed there prior to their arrival.”
Drone footage, which the Israeli military posted online, shows terrorists throwing the body out of a window into a pit and covering it with dirt, in front of what appeared to be a Red Cross team. The Red Cross staff appeared to look on as the remains were reburied.
The Red Cross denied the sequence of events, which the video footage appeared to show, in its statement to JNS on Tuesday.
“Our team only observed what appeared to be the recovery of remains without prior knowledge of the circumstances leading up to it,” it said.
The Red Cross added that “it is unacceptable that a fake recovery was staged, when so much depends on this agreement being upheld and when so many families are still anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones.”
The Israel Defense Forces stated that the video shows that Hamas “is attempting to create a false impression of efforts to locate the bodies, while in fact holding deceased hostages whose remains it refuses to release as required by the agreement.”
The IDF said that the terror group is also making “false claims of shortages in engineering equipment, equipment that is clearly unnecessary for the transfer of remains, and therefore these claims do not constitute an obstacle to the return of the remaining deceased hostages.”
Under Trump’s peace plan, Hamas committed to handing over all 48 hostages—living and deceased—on Oct. 13. Israel liberated 20 living captives that day, but Hamas has slow-walked the return of the 28 bodies.
On Monday night, Hamas released the remains of Israeli hostage Ofir Tzarfati, whose body Israel had already retrieved, and not a 16th body, in violation of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal in the Strip.
Israel recovered Tzarfati’s body from Gaza as part of a military operation in 2023, the Prime Minister’s Office stated. It added that Hamas’s refusal to return a new hostage body constituted a “clear violation” of the deal.
On Saturday, Trump urged Hamas to return the remains of deceased hostages the terrorists still hold within 48 hours or face action by “the other countries involved” in the agreement.
An urgent discussion between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and representatives of the Israeli security establishment ended on Tuesday without any decision on Jerusalem’s response to Hamas’s ceasefire violations.
A senior Israeli official told Israel’s Channel 12 that the IDF presented a series of possible moves, including renewing attacks on the Strip. Netanyahu reportedly said that there needed to be coordination with the Trump administration to determine the next step.

Yom HaAliyah: The call to move to Israel
When I was younger, when people talked about aliyah, what came to mind were the videos of aliyah flights where there was music and dancing and emotional speeches and friends clinging to each other as they said goodbye, and (if you were lucky) parents who gave you one last blessing, hands upon your head, before you got on the plane.
The music pulled the chords of your heart eastward, and then appeared on the screen, happy faces of new immigrant families and their sweet children, young singles, newlywed couples, and retirees, who were excited to move across the world on a grand adventure.
I even made a couple of those videos when my husband and I made aliyah with our children, seven years ago. I am so grateful to have those beautiful memories captured in time.
5 Lady Rabbis One of whom is a Trans Joins "Jews for Mamdani" Movement
 |
| Abby Stein |
One of the rabbis, Abby Stein, comes from a Viznitz background, and developed a vicious hatred towards the only Jewish State, once she grew breasts! There isn't an event that denigrates Israel that she hasn't attended!
An anti-Israel transgender rabbi who was once tossed out of the White House has become the face of a “Jews for Zohran” ad — as she tries to rally support for socialist mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani in the final days of the election.
Abby Stein, a part-time rabbi at Brooklyn’s progressive Kolot Chayein synagogue, is among a handful of female rabbis featured in the ad recently put out by the Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JREJ).
“We know Zohran will fight to make our city affordable and safe for our families,” Stein declared in the campaign ad.“As Jews, as rabbis, as New Yorkers, we believe that all people deserve to thrive. Zohran agrees.”
The far-left rabbi, who grew up in a Hasidic Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, made headlines last year after she was booted from the White House Pride Month celebration last year after she hijacked then-first lady Jill Biden’s speech to demand a permanent cease-fire in Gaza.
She also sparked controversy after it emerged she’d attended an interfaith meeting held by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during last year’s United Nations General Assembly — less than a week before Tehran launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel.
At the time, US Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) — a staunch supporter of Israel – blasted Stein for participating in the Iran-led confab.
“Anyone who associates with the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is a useful idiot of the highest order,” the Bronx pol said.
In addition to Stein, the new Mamdani ad also featured three other female progressive rabbis – including Emily Cohen, Miriam Grossman and Rachel Goldenberg.
“We’re proud New York Rabbis for Zohran. Our movement of thousands of Jews For Zohran is growing. Join us to elect Mayor Mamdani,” the JREJ group said on X alongside the ad.
“Remember – canvassing is a mitzvah!”
