A year ago, Alma Itzhaky and I wrote about the right’s post-October-7 vision for Israel - a Jewish Sparta. Today Bibi used the reference of Sparta to describe his vision of dealing with international isolation.

A new poll finds that 32% of Israeli Jews think it is right for soldiers to refuse participating in warfare if it endangers the hostages.

Apart from Trump, the entire international community is nominally against this plan. For Germany, speaking out against the plan is not enough. It must act decisively and cut all support from the Israeli war machine. Otherwise, Germany is de facto supporting ethnic cleansing.

The Israeli government just announced its plan for occupying Gaza City. This means the total destruction of what remains of the built environment in the Strip - turning Gaza city into rubble, just like Rafah and Khan Yunis before, and a permanent Israeli occupation.

Israel Hayom, a right-wing daily in Israel, published a poll of the Israeli public to mark 20 years since the disengagement from Gaza, which shows 52% support for resettlement in Gaza, and strong resistance to removal of West Bank settlements. I am doubtful about this poll.

Naftali Bennet, currently Bibi’s top challenger, gave an interview.
What is his plan for Gaza? He wants Netanyahu to reach a ceasefire deal now, and ones he, Bennet, gets in office, he would resume the war to eradicate Hamas.
He is no alternative, and I think he’ll fail.

If Israel’s leadership had a shred of strategic thinking and concern for Israeli citizens, it could have used a ceasefire in Gaza as a tool in negotiating a ceasefire with Iran, in addition to a nuclear deal. Khamenei would have saved face as the saviour of Gaza. Instead, they want regime change.

In his press conference with Israeli FM Sa'ar, German FM @aussenminister.diplo.de said that support for the annexation of the West Bank is an opinion held by "some" in Israeli politics - but that this view is not the majority view.
Well, it is a majority opinion within the Israeli leadership.

Gideon Sa'ar is visiting Germany and is telling local politicians that Israel wants to get rid of Hamas in Gaza and replace it with a different Palestinian regime. This is a clear lie. He is telling them what they themselves think, but not what Israel's policy is.

According to Netanyahu, the new war plan in Gaza would include the permanent occupation of territories within the strip.
They plan on using the ruins of Rafah to concentrate the population in a “humanitarian bubble“ run by contractors, snd the total annihilation of the rest.
