preemptive strike against a terrorist army established by iran aimed at taking control of judea and samaria and renewing suicide attacks within israel, they're not even mentioning the west bank, they're just putting new names, the settlements judea and samaria is the biblical name for the west bank, they refuse to call it the west bank because for them it's judea and samaria, and not only do they stoop to this level of pettiness, they continue by saying these terrorist groups established over the past three years by iran with support from hamas and islamic jihad have taken control in areas like janin, tulkarim and nablus pushing out the pa security. forces, okay, just, i mean, it's not just been the last three years, they've made it about just iran and just the last three years, this is, resistance has been around for decades, according to israeli security sources, it says, between 800 to 100 armed terrorists equipped with weapons and explosives smuggled from iran via the jordanian border are operating in these regions, organized into battalions and funded by iran, they are referred to in s

hamas, so then they will move to west bank, and as you see they mentioned so many times as juda and samaria they they want to uh to achieve. yes, on that point, what is happening in the occupied west bank is a third palestinian intifada, but this time it is harsher and more severe on the occupation through harsh military attacks carried out by palestinian resistance fighters, according to a former, אני חושב שאנחנו בוא נגיד כבר תקופה ארוכה נמצאים באנטדה שלישית, ואני מזכיר לכולנו, הוא יחלה בידועי אבנים, בירי, בפיגועי תורה כאלה ואחרים. ולאט לאט זה עלך ועלה ואנחנו אמרנו שהדבר הזה הוא מסמן את הבאות והבאות זה בעצם הארגונים שנכנסים פנימה לתוך המערכה של האינטיפדה זה מתחיל בהתנהרות עממית ולאט לאט יורד לתוך הארגונים ועכשיו אנחנו רואים את הפיגועים הקשים יותר ואם את שואלת אותי הפיגוע שהיה בתל אביב שבו התפוצץ מפגע מתאבד זה בעצם מפגע אחד מתוך מחסנית של כ-100 מפגעים שמוכנים להיכנס ולהתפוצץ במדינת ישראל. does israel have both the fire power and the manpower to open another front with the west bank and would this front be especially dangerous for israel? do we do we see that it's covered by and protected by

hamas, so then they will move to west bank and as you see they mentioned so many times. as juda and samariath syria to palestine to sinai and then to to this area, this is the main goal for them, but i don't think they will succeed, because now we have uh the access of resistance, yes, they are fighting against it. and i don't think the israeli will go to uh to what they they want to uh to achieve yes on that point, what is happening in the occupied west bank is a third palestinian intifada, but this time it is harsher and more severe on the occupation through harsh military attacks carried out by palestinian resistance fighters, according to a former shenbet official. אני מזכיר לכולנו, יכלה בידועי אבנים, בירי, בפיגועי טוורה כאלה ואחרים, ולאט לאט זה הלך ועלה, ואנחנו אמרנו שהדבר הזה הוא מסמן את הטבעות, והבאות זה בעצם הארגונים שנכנסים פנימה לתוך ה מערכה של האינטיפדה, זה מתחיל בהתנהרות עממית ולאט לאט יורד לתוך הארגונים ועכשיו אנחנו רואים את הפיגועים הקשים יותר, ואם את שואלת אותי הפיגוע שהיה בתל אביב שבו התפוצץ מפגע מתאבד זה. financially and military wise and all the iron domes without united s

, but amongst the war council and this israeli fascist government that the west bank is judia and samaria and it is the promise land and therefore israel is pushing into turning the battle on the west bank into a religious battle, particularly when add al quds jerusalem into the... equation now it is also these israeli crimes are exposing the palestinian authority that is showing how weak this authority is and in fact some of the the palestinian security forces they work hand and hand with the israeli intelligence and with the israeli army and we know that there are tens of thousands of palestinian police and security forces in the west bank that they do nothing. in defense of the palestinian people there, also it is important to see that israel is doing all of this for a goal and that is to steal the vast majority of the west banked territory and to basically end any kind of hope for any you know international so callalled resolution on the two state solution that is illusion, no one should believe that there is a possibility of two-state solution, because israel have killed that option

the west bank with annexation, at least with one more area, what they call the enemy call judia and samarianot what the world wants, it's not what a leadership in a west asia wants, it's not what leadership in uh europe or even israel's closest allies in washington uh want when it comes to a sease fire and a a rectification, a resolution to this uh uh ongoing campaign of genocide in gaza, in according to these protesters, it's not what israel is want either, why is netanyahu and his cabinet so adamant on going against the entire world when it comes ending this onslot in gaza? this is wonderful question, this is uh... i would say key task, key a key question for any political scientist who demands more studies on the actual israeli government, but i understand that in the... in the end of the day netanyahu is trying to survive, survive himself, his family, his old family, whole family, including his son which is going to the beach in florida, united states, not going to the war, and the extreme right-wing cabinet that he formed, i understand also that we must history explain a lot of movemen

samaria is comparable it's not a joke. see, when netanyahu's government was formed, his last government gave a notice when it was formed. it had 12 clauses, the mission of his own government , he added one clause at all. we know bakhtire as a completely jewish region . the first time it was brought up in the government's mission statement, and later we won it as a plan in the knesset. it's interesting. it's been almost a month and a half ago. it brings determination to annex the west bank to the territories a complete occupation and the destruction of the palestinian authority. the new york times published this report. mr. smotrich answered the minister of finance. the minister of economy answered that this is not a secret. i call it titvar domestic politics, now it depends on the opportunity to talk about the ruling party. it is obvious that the party that is represented has religious zionism, that is, ben guer, forgive me, smatrich , i won't die. the vote is there, the more they can expand this population , the more thei

20% of the cabinet , they apply a jewish name to the west bank and claim that this area is called samaria and judea are mentioned and they emphasize that this region is actually a region that is much more important to them because, for example, it is actually an ancient territory that the jews possessed and was a part of their country. they do not have many such claims about the gaza strip. it means that kanane bakhti is much more important for them. well, during the al-aqsa storm operation, we witnessed that the israelis' efforts to officially annex the west bank were met with a very big interruption and they could no longer do so. continue those efforts due to the special conditions of the war. now they are trying through these operations that they are actually doing inside the west bank , they are trying to stop the expansion of the resistance cells in the north of the west bank and show a lesson that in the reality of the war in gaza and the attack of the storm could not stop the process that they had started to annex the west bank. well, this does not make these two, according to the

of the coalition government , apply a jewish name to the west bank and claim to call this region samaria and judea and emphasize that this region is in it is actually an area that is actually a territory because of, for example, in it. the story that jews have been a part of their country is therefore much more important for them here. they do not have many such claims about the gaza strip. it means that kanane bakhti is much more important for them. well, we witnessed during the storm operation in al-aqsa it was that the efforts of the israelis to officially annex the west bank faced a very big interruption and more. not being able to continue those efforts due to the special conditions of the war, now they are trying through these operations that they are actually doing inside the west bank, both forward and forward, as they say, that is, they are trying with the aim of preventing nuclear proliferation. take the resistance forces in the north of the west bank, and secondly, show that in fact the war in gaza and the attack of al-qasa storm on october 7, 2023 could not stop the process t

the west bank with annexation, at least with one more area, what they call the enemy call judia and samaria, they want to close corridor, philadelphia corridor andcess, so they understand that proceeding like this, they would close the logistic possibilities of the access of resistance, their own people understand that this what is and for netanyahu, as more captives are killed by themselves by their bombings, the better the situation of him and the the whole cabinet. israeli forces continue their deadly attacks across the occupied west bank for the eighth day in a row. in the latest attacks, three palestinians were killed and several others injured in tulkaram and town near janin. the deaths bring to 34 the number of palestinians killed by israeli forces since the regime. launched its large-scale military operations last week. nearly 700 palestinians have so far been killed by israeli troops in the west bank since october the 7th. also, israeli forces have arrested five more palestinians during raids on the cities of nablus and bethlehem. according to media reports an israeli soldier was k

annexation of territories, and the west back is the dream of israelis right, they call a judea and samaria, they don't even call it the westback, um, even though under international law it is holy entity and um the the territory of the future palestinian state um in these just in in during the course of the days of war the israel have killed over 650 palestines of the west bank um including 150 children um and and injured thousands and thousands and and this will only those numbers will only rise, mean god forbid like the kind of numbers we a daily basis in gaza, but if the setlement minister has any, you no, saying it, it will, it will rise to that level. um, but the israeli army has also conducted more than 10,300 operations in the west bank, they've increased settlement building, um, they've armed settlers, like we've seen ben gavier, ittsomar ben gavier, um, armed settlers, uh, the most extremist elements of israeli society, the americans ask them a stop, he continued, um, the... the army and security forces have accompanied settlers on their rampages, burning and terrorizing palestiny

one of them is the issue of religion , their religious view, that area is holy for them, judea and samaria is not comparable to ghazala. when netanyahu's government was formed, his last government made an announcement when it was formed, it had 12 clauses , the mission of his own government, he added one clause at all, that we want to discuss, now he used the same expression as jews and samaritans, but we want the west bank to be completely one area. jews, we know that the first time you brought the mission statement of the government, later you also included this knesset is interesting as a project we won in new york about a month and a half ago. he prepared a report and said, "look, netanyahu's government was resolutely pushing ahead with the annexation plan, annexing the west bank to the occupied territories in full and destroying the palestinian authority. the new times published this report. mr. smotrich answered, the minister of finance, the minister of economy, answered. dad said that this is not a secret thing, everyone knows that we are following this, but from a political point o

it is absolutely clear that the west bank, in israel it is called judea and samaria according to the ancient biblical tradition, is the same territory in which abbas also has a rather serious influence. we have to remember. what kind of hamasites en masse voted in the west bank as well, just there the fad party, led by the current head of the palestinian authority, mahmoud abbas, won the majority of votes, but hamas was also very popular there, and over the years this popularity only grew, after october 7, 2023, it increased many times , because a large part of the population of the west bank, like a large part of the population of the gas sector, was just delighted with this hamas raid on the... with the hostage-taking and the killing of people, they were just in a frenzy of pleasure, and this has increased the authority of hamas, islamic jihad and other radical groups in this territory, i am not talking about the fact that this territory is also difficult, as we understand, there are constant conflicts between israeli settlers and residents of palestinian cities and towns located i

annexation of territories, and the west back is the dream of israelis right, they call it judean samaria, they don't even call it the west back, um, even though under international law it is holy separate entity, and um the the uh territory of the future palestinian state, sorry um in these just in in during the course of the gods of war, the israelies have killed over 650 palestinians of the west bank um including 150 children um and uh and injured thousands and thousands uh and and this will only those numbers will only rise, mean god forbid like the kind of numbers we see a daily basis in gaza. but if the sealment minister has any you know saying that it will it will rise to that level um but the the israeli army has also conducted more than 10,300 operations in the west bank they've increased settlement building um they've armed settlers like we've seen ben gavier itamar ben gavir um armed settlers uh the the most extremist elements of israeli society the americans asked him to stop he continued um the israeli army and security forces accompanied settlers on their rampages, burning a

north of israel with lebanon, hezbollah, the situation on the territory of the jews has worsened. samaria, this is the so-called west bank, and the war does not stop there either, but in this, well, rather in a guerilla form, well, how it will develop, it depends on what hizballah dares to do and iran, which is behind this hizballah, is in the gas, well, it is gradually moving from a full-fledged military operation to some kind of guerrilla war, and if israel did not try to save... these hostages, but because it is also trying to save the hostages the civilian population can somehow be bypassed, that's why it took so long for them. look, i would just like to clarify, regarding iran, we see the activation of iran, in particular in cooperation, in military cooperation with the russian federation, so we understand that rather we, our... civilians of our cities, they will be attacked by iranian ballistic missiles, and we understand that russia will release them, but the shared responsibility will lie with iran. well , we would like to ask you how, in your opinion, we could thank iran profusel

a whole issue of what to do, how do... achieve peace between us and the palestinians in judea and samaria, i didn't get into that, that's another press conference, i'll be happy to do it, to wipe out some of the misconceptions and the uh slanders and lies that are directed at us, we don't intend to drive these people away, they want to drive us away, well the number of raids into the occupied west bank points to how israel has the intention of stealing as much palestinian land as possible, you could see this from october of 2023 all the way through to the present moment, the stats speak for themselves, um, you're looking... over here at the palestinian lands that were seas in terms of the square kilometers all the way through to the year 2024 and also over here you can see the way that uh the the land has happened in terms of the land grap and the legal settlements in terms of what israel calls homes, the dimensions 12 square kilometers, this happened in july of 2024, the largest in 30 years, and this should not come actually as a surprise, two reasons, the israely far right minister, as

the jug was in the museum for 35 years, it was found during excavations in samaria in central israel. vessel was unique in that it was discovered. almost in its original form, unlike most other objects of that period. the jug was intended for storing and transporting food, mainly wine and olive oil. in the near future , they plan to restore it and put it back on display in the hall. the culprit of the incident was not scolded, and was invited along with his family to an organized excursion to the museum. apparently, with safety equipment there will be an excursion, on the other hand side, you know, i really liked how positively the caretakers, the custodians of the fund reacted. i never got so close to the exhibits again, and of course, parents, please watch your children, otherwise you see what can happen, well, let's do good deeds anyway, right now we invite you all to take a closer look at one beauty nicknamed nyush, because today she is looking for her way home. good morning, meet cutie nyush, and today she will be looking for her way home. in the life of this a tragedy occurred w

annexation of territories, and the west back is... the dream of israelis right, they call it judean samaria, they don't even call it the westback um, even though under international law it is a holy separate entity and um the the uh territory of the future palestinian state, sorry um in these just in in during the cross of the gods of war the israelies have killed over 650 palestinians of the west bank um including 150 children. um and uh and injured thousands and thousands uh and and this will only those numbers will only rise, mean god forbid like the kind of numbers we see a daily basis in gaza, but if the setlement minister has any you know saying that it will it will rise to that level um but the the israeli army has also conducted more than 10,300 operations in the west bank, they've increased settlement building um they've armed settlers like we've seen ben gavir, it's ben... ver um armed settlers uh the most extremist elements of israeli society, the americans asked him to stop, he continued, the israeli army and security forces have accompanied settlers on their rampages, burning a

promised to hold another press conference on the occupied west bank — although he calls itjudea and samarianched another round of air strikes this time on ukraine s western city of lviv close to its border. seven people were killed, 47 were injured. lviv is just 70 km from the border with the european union — this was the third time in eight days that nato defences had been activated since russia stepped up its bombardment across ukraine. the pictures shared by the local authorities on their telegram channels showed the mayor among the debris of a destroyed building, he said more than 50 structures, from schools to homes and clinics, most of them in the heart of the city, had been damaged. among the victims were three children. on tuesday, the target was the eastern city of poltava — in response to a number of recent setbacks, the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is shaking—up of kyiv�*s wartime government, replacing the foreign affairs minister and other senior officials. foreign affairs minister dmytro kuleba is the most prominent among a series of resignations. also gone — the min

by the way, the area is real, refers to as judea and samaria by biblical name. that is home to up to 3000000 palestinians. and speaking about escalation, we know also here that's washington is coming to send an additional vessels to this region to monitor this situation. so it is dramatically escalating back to you, right? while you're off in austin, on our team, at least bureau t, bringing us up to speed. but i think, you know, the idea of has also been striking the lebanese capital, but he's real sad. it's been targeting has been a lot of infrastructure that has been operating for 20 years for the site to the aging. and social media shows huge clouds of smoke rising into the sky. but as the muscles rain down now, and he's really got been spokesperson, incest, that's e ron, and has blocked all the wants to blame. hey ron, as close as behind f as blocks, we know that any country which the wrong gets involved and becomes a failed state. lebanon is just such an example. we believe that the majority of lebanese people are against his beloved husband. i need to be o

well, first of all, already the support there is not the same as it used to be, even in judea and samariawhich many know, the west bank, there is more support for hamas , according to polls, and these residents of gaza, who have experienced for themselves what a full-scale war is, with destruction, with those movements to and fro, this wretch bombards. they no longer show such support, although conducting a survey of such a situation of total control by hamas over this population, well, it is the same as a credible survey in russia, which is currently taking place there in support of putin, really no one in fact, he doesn't know how it is there, but look, there's a discussion again, excuse me, please, here we have the editors telling me right now, right on the screen , defense minister galaland called. the cabinet of ministers to approve the withdrawal of the israeli army from the philadelphia corridor, that is, exposing the possibilities, that is, giving hamas the opportunity to continue receiving money and weapons through this philadelphia corridor, that is, to the top leadership of the

and the west bank, in israel it is called judea samaria according to ancient biblical tradition.is is the territory where hamas also has a rather serious influence. we have to remember that the hamasites were voted en masse in the west bank, too, just the majority there won votes. the fatah party, led by the current head of the palestinian authority , mahmoud abbas, but hamas was also very popular there, and over the years this popularity only increased, after october 7 , 2023, it increased many times, because a large part of the population of the west bank, like a large part the population of the gas sector, was simply delighted with this hamas raid on the territory of israel, with the taking of hostages and the killing of people, they were simply in a frenzy with pleasure, and this... increased the authority of hamas, islamic jihad and other radical groups in this territory. i am not talking about the fact that this territory is also difficult, as we understand, there are constant conflicts between israeli settlers and residents. palestinian cities and towns that are in that te
