When Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff mentioned Netanyahu's name at Hostage Square, the crowd's boos set off a political storm. Ministers called it disgraceful, while Israelis online called it democracy in action
According to the schedule released by the White House, Trump will give a speech at the Knesset before leaving to attend a high-level summit in Egypt along with other world leaders to discuss the cease-fire and next steps for the Gaza Strip
The concern in the Israeli army is that its forces could be targeted by terrorists in Gaza who might act independently against the group's mandate to adhere to the cease-fire, as the IDF's current goal is to focus on securing the expected release of the hostages on Monday morning
A military decree has brought the villages of Nabi Samwil, Beit Iksa and Khalaila under 'seam zone' rule, from which all Palestinians but local residents are banned. But actually, for 20 years a raft of edicts like this one have been harassing locals, who now fear for their fate

As Israelis prepare for a mix of celebration and mourning with the return of the hostages, living and dead, Palestinians face a deeper reckoning over their shattered national movement and the absence of any leadership or vision for what comes next
Representing Donald Trump at Tel Aviv's Hostage Square on Saturday evening, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were received with a warm embrace, while the mere mention of Netanyahu led to resounding boos. Perhaps it needs to be asked why the hostage families feel that the U.S. cares for and listens to them more than the Israeli government
The claim that this is foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Israel is, of course, idle nonsense. The fate of the Palestinian people is not an Israeli domestic matter, nor is it an Israeli matter at all. The world has not only a right to come to its aid, it has a duty to do so,
Now that the war is over, there are no more excuses. The time has come to establish a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7: this does not mean a committee for the sake of appearances. One that is legitimate, legal and binding
No transfer, no real estate, no new neighborhood in Gaza for Israeli police, no image of the last Hamas members raising a white flag. One could say that the agreement could have been signed in January 2024, but it simply wasn't attractive enough for all the parties
The end of the war means that Israel's method to date – apply military force to solve negotiating issues – has run its course. Henceforth, whatever disputes down the road about the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza or disarming Hamas will be negotiated
The rule is clear and simple: Americans don't much care when Israel harms Palestinians, but they do not allow Israel to endanger their regional or global interests or to dictate U.S. policy in the Middle East
The conditions to disarm Hamas do not exist in Gaza: There is no comprehensive agreement, no stable political structure, and Hamas has no real incentive to surrender its weapons. The Trump model has no basis in reality
A global silver squeeze is reaching crisis levels as supply shortages, collapsing London inventories, and soaring demand push prices above $50 per ounce
Last year, Britain reported its second-worst yearr in modern times for antisemitism, with more than 3,500 incidents recorded, the Community Security Trust, which provides security to Jewish organisations across the country, said earlier this year
