🇮🇱 A new Channel 14 report shows senior Israeli government and military officials openly celebrating the destruction of Gaza, the mass killing of Palestinians, their forced displacement to the coast, and Israel’s permanent occupation of the territory.

One senior officer described all 70,000 Palestinians he said Israel had killed as “terrorists.” The full video is linked below. Here are some of the remarks:

🔹 Defense Minister Israel Katz: “The important thing: those neighborhoods like Jabaliya, Shuja’iyya, which we only controlled a part of - are destroyed. In ruins.”

Interviewer: “When you see Gaza destroyed like this, how do you feel?”

Katz: “What do I feel? Feel good. What, this is all the result of a deliberate policy that [was designed] to remove threats. Instead of the method of raids - enter, exit, and Hamas returns - the IDF is inside, the residents are outside, and the houses are destroyed.”

Katz: “We are not retreating from the yellow line, unequivocally, as long as Hamas does not truly disarm. And even after that, we will remain in Gaza!”

🔹 Major General Tamir Yadai, deputy chief of staff of the Israeli military: “I don’t know how to describe this [situation] other than victory. When you control 65% of the territory [of the Gaza Strip], when 70,000 terrorists have been killed here, when the majority of the population is in the beach since… for a second summer there already, when the IDF is inside The Strip with a different [scale of deployment] than before, when there’s a full freedom of operation.”

🔹 Major General Yaniv Assor, commander of the Israeli military’s southern command: “Over the last period, [since Operation Lion’s Roar], there have been 300 [targeted assassinations] in The Strip.”

🔴 New: The Cost of Sidelining UNRWA: Gaza Aid Stripped Before Distribution

Aid parcels reaching families in Gaza are increasingly arriving incomplete, with some of the most essential and expensive items missing before distribution, according to reporting by Ultra Palestine.

Testimonies from displaced families describe food and health packages stripped of soap, diapers, toothpaste, and hygiene supplies, many of which later appear for sale in local markets.

Analysts say the problem is systemic, beginning well before aid trucks enter Gaza. Consumer protection expert Mohamed Barbakh points to manipulation in international supply tenders, where contracted companies reduce quantities or substitute cheaper goods to cut costs. Additional losses occur during local distribution, where weights are reduced or items removed. Economists describe a broader “network of chaos and exploitation,” worsened by the absence of UNRWA, whose removal has left inexperienced organizations struggling to manage large-scale aid.

Israel’s continued restrictions on UNRWA operations and bans on hundreds of essential food items have deepened shortages, accelerating aid leakage and black-market profiteering amid mass unemployment and hunger, the report says.

“They’re not Hamas. They’re literally women and children. And you can’t unsee the amount of pictures and videos of children that have been blown to pieces and are they’re finding them dead in the rubble. That isn’t—those aren’t actors, that isn’t fake war propaganda. It’s very real.”

🚨NEWS: The House is set to vote Monday on H.R. 867, the “IGO Anti-Boycott Act,” which would punish Americans with fines of up to $1 million or prison terms up to 20 years for participating in boycotts of Israel or Israeli settlements that are promoted by international governmental organizations (IGOs), such as the UN or EU.

The bill, sponsored by pro-Israel lawmaker Rep. Mike Lawler, expands U.S. anti-boycott law to target voluntary, values-based political action by U.S. citizens. Its aim is to shield Israel from nonviolent international pressure campaigns such as BDS.

Rights groups say the legislation criminalizes constitutionally protected political expression and is part of a broader push to suppress opposition to Israeli genocide, apartheid, and illegal settlement expansion, under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

Sen. Mark Warner, at the Munich Security Conference, wants you to know the real story behind the TikTok ban—that Israel was the driving force behind its passage in Congress:

“I want to see if you're going to tell the real story,” Warner said to former congressman Mike Gallagher, a Palantir executive who, alongside Warner, first introduced the bill labeling TikTok a national security threat.

Gallagher responded: “The bill was still dead until October 7th. And people started to see a bunch of anti-Semitic content on the platform, and suddenly our bill had legs again.”

“We’re seeing hundreds and hundreds of people being driven south by tanks …The Israelis are actively displacing them. We see hundreds and hundreds of women, we see children, and young boys up to maybe the age of 12 or 13. But, no males older than that.”
