The “Gideon tanks” business enters the second phase of
According to Israeli media, Eyal Zamir, who is noted that he has expressed his opposition to the occupation of the city of Gaza, visited the IDF forces on the outskirts of the city of Gaza to inspect preparations and discuss their operational plans with their 16 -year -olds. In his speech to the soldiers, he argued: “We have entered the second phase of the business of Gideon’s tanks to fulfill the goals of the war. The return of our hostages is both moral and national mission. We will continue to hit Hamas’ strongholds until it is defeated. We create the feeling that we are chasing it everywhere. “
Smotrich wants 82% of the West Bank
At about the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu government finance minister, Bezalel Smotric, presented his proposal for an attachment to Israel 82% of the West Bank area, along with a map for the … borders he proposes to have a Palestinian state. According to Smotric: “The broad consensus on sovereignty is a direct result of the deep understanding that we can never allow us to establish an existential threat between us and, after decades of hesitation, it is time to clearly say it.”
Using the biblical name for the West Bank, he said: “It is time to apply Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and to eliminate the idea of separation of our small land forever and the establishment of a terrorist state in its heart.”
Smotric, who is president of the far -right Religious Zionism and is responsible for political affairs on the West Bank, supports the annexation of the West Bank and Gaza and is a strong opponent of the Palestinian state. In recent weeks it has taken other measures to consolidate Israel’s control on the West Bank, including promoting plans to build a colonization east of Jerusalem, known as E1. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense yesterday declared a large part of the West Bank as a state land.
Reactions from Smotrich statements

This statement belongs to the UN Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Lana Nousseibah, who in an interview with The Times of Israel argued that such a move by the Israeli government would “put an end to the vision of a regional.” He listens to the name “Abraham’s Agreements”.
In this context, it is noted that even US ambassador Mike Haccabi has expressed concerns that the movements of the Israeli government, and in particular Smotric, can lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority, a development that is not considered desirable by the US.
Objective Israel and USA is the diplomatic “sabotage” in the UN General Assembly
In any case, the above developments come at a time when several European countries, with the last of Belgium, are preparing to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly on September 9th. The only statement of this intention by European governments, first in France of Emmanuel Macron, has brought strong reactions from Israel and the US, with the Israeli government gradually making decisions that remove the possibility of the two states and the two states of the two states.
