JUST IN: UN missile embargo on Iran expires as US, E3 decline to trigger snapback of UN sanctions. Huge victory for Iran.

Utterly disappointing to see that the UAE and Bahrain blamed Israel for the hospital explosion. One has to hope that they revise their statements

I had almost totally forgotten how pathological Arab journalistic practices are:
- 'It could be that Israel deliberately bombed the hospital as a test balloon to see how Hezbollah would act.'

- 'Even if it was a Palestinian rocket, who is responsible for making the Palestinians…

My take: As a pioneer of suicide bombings, Islamic Jihad has long made clear its willingness to kill Palestinians in order to kill Israelis. The latest fighting across the Gaza Strip border took the group’s tactical nihilism up a notch: Its rockets reportedly caused 300 to 500…

Gaza Hospital Suffers Explosion, Islamic Jihad Misfire Implicated

New FDD analysis from me & ⁦Jonathan Schanzer⁩ fdd.org/analysis/2023/…

UN sanctions on Iran’s ballistic missiles & drones have officially disappeared because of US, British, French & German fecklessness.

Khamenei can now provide Putin, Hezbollah, Hamas & other terrorists weapons to kill Israelis & Ukrainians - without violating UN restrictions.

Good friends of Israel should be asking very tough questions about their strategy and plans — and then providing unwavering support as President Biden promised.

Israel announces assassination of Ayman Nofel, a senior commander of the “armed wing” known as the Qassam Brigades. One analyst calls it “the most meaningful strike since the start of the war.”

Israel: 'It's day 11 and we still have potentially hundreds of casualties we need to sort through.'

Hamas: '2,479 dead in the Israeli attack that happened 15 minutes ago. 892 of them children.'

99 Members of the U.S. Senate have signed on to co-sponsor this resolution in support of Israel's defense and in condemnation of Hamas' attacks and Iran's support.

Rand Paul is the only one who did not sign on.

“The ISIS Health Ministry says…”

The Gaza Health Ministry is run by Hamas. The people who work there are Hamas or are terrified of Hamas.

If you cite them as your source, without corroborating evidence, you are egregiously misleading your readers and viewers.

This is shaping up to be an unmitigated debacle for the news outlets whose instinct was to run with Hamas’s version of events.

I'm a Palestinian in the West Bank. Hamas Alone Is Responsible for Any Bloodshed in Gaza.
Read my latest in Newsweek:
newsweek.com/im-palestinian…

For a full week people debated if Hamas beheaded Israeli babies or just peacefully burned them alive.

Yet, it took you exactly 1 minute to spread the lie that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, when all the evidence show they didn’t.

I’d not be surprised to see Hamas accusing Israel of having biological weapons program to be used as an ethnic weapon (based on DNA) to target specifically Palestinians.

Israel Defense Forces must be prepared for this disinformation campaign.

I have no doubt that Moscow’s playbook will be used.

Today I hosted a bipartisan member discussion on Israel with crucial groups JINSA, FDD, and the Washington Institute — who broke down the role Congress plays in defending Israel and defeating terrorism around the world.

We also heard policy recommendations regarding the need for…

GeoConfirmed ISR-PAL.

A missile launched by Palestinian Groups exploded mid-air and one of the pieces fell on the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital's yard.

The Biden Administration is sending additional combat power to the Eastern Mediterranean.

The goal is to persuade Hezbollah & its terror patron in Tehran that it would be unwise to open a major northern front against Israel.

Israel is trapped in a dilemma

Is destroying Hamas worth the risks of a long war?

FDD ⁦Seth Frantzman⁩ looks at the risks.

Has Khamenei set a trap? spectator.co.uk/article/israel…

My take: Iran, Qatar, Turkey, Malaysia, Kuwait, and Algeria have cynically boosted Palestinian jihadists for decades, which has brought misery and destruction not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq — anywhere terror proxies operate. Each of…
