Former Israeli war minister Yoav Gallant, recently dismissed by Benjamin Netanyahu, reportedly stated that the military has "completed" its key objectives in Gaza and that the occupation forces must leave in order to "release" the Israeli prisoners.
Gallant voiced supposed concerns over the ongoing military presence in Gaza, suggesting that further operations might be driven more by desire than necessity, calling it “not a justifiable reason to risk soldiers’ lives.”

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) Central Media Department issued a statement today, asserting that Trump’s victory in the US elections will further entrench the anti-Palestinian approach that has long been displayed through U.S. policy.
The statement went further to assert that "There is no fundamental difference between the Republican and Democratic parties; both have contributed to supporting the zionist entity and participated in the war of genocide against our people."
The statement urged supporters of the Palestinian people within the U.S. to "intensify pressure on the new U.S. administration to end its support for the zionist entity."

Former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, has narrowly survived an assassination attempt, as army units attacked his car. Morales has claimed that his former allies in the Bolivian government were “totally involved” in the attack.
Morales, a socialist, governed the country from 2006 until 2019, when he was deposed in a US-backed coup. He is widely expected to run for president in 2025. How did Morales go from unquestioned leader of a country and a mass movement to being attacked by his former allies? MintPress explains here.
The UK’s armed forces are now using Israeli rifle technology that was tested in the Gaza Strip
The Israeli company, Smartshooter producing precision targeting equipment and has been battle tested on Palestinians since 2018. While the British army says its soldiers will be equipped with the new technology that attaches to assault rifles and reportedly “turns every soldier into a sniper” for the purpose of shooting down drones, it has also been admitted that it is used for ground targets too. The Israeli company was able to market this technology in September arms exhibition that was sponsored by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD). Another one of Smartshooter’s products, that was deployed at checkpoints in the West Bank and mounted on military vehicles, was an AI powered automatic weapon used for “crowd control”.
Israel has destroyed 40,000 homes in Lebanon since the start of the war
37 towns in Lebanon have been almost entirely erased from the map and over 40,000 housing units destroyed as Israel openly targets civilian infrastructure throughout Lebanese territory. Some of the worst destruction has occurred in the southern border villages, where Israeli soldiers have entered and detonated large swaths of the houses in order to clear the territory for their troop incursions and have published videos of them bragging about it. Similar to what occurred with the ground invasion of Gaza, Israeli soldiers have filmed themselves looting homes and wearing women’s clothes.

Israel withdraws military brigades from southern Lebanon
Reports indicate that Israeli occupation forces have withdrawn a number of brigades from southern Lebanon after failing to achieve their objectives in the region.
The Zionist entity aimed to drive Hezbollah away from the border, create a secure buffer zone, and facilitate the return of hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers to the northern parts of occupied Palestine who were evacuated since the onset of Hezbollah's operations last year. None of these efforts have been successful so far.
The entity's deployment of 50,000 troops to Lebanon, a force exceeding three times that of the 2006 war, still did not result in meaningful control over any Lebanese villages.
Hundreds of forces who identified as Israelis have died since the attempted ground incursion into southern Lebanon, with thousands more wounded, according to sources from the Zionist media.
Israel passes law to expel families of resistance fighters from Palestine
The Zionist entity has passed a contentious new law that authorises the deportation of relatives of individuals accused of "terrorism," even if these relatives are citizens of the entity.
In a vote of 61 to 41, the legislation—proposed by the far-right Jewish Power Party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir—enables authorities to expel family members of alleged "terrorists" to the Gaza Strip or other designated areas. This measure allows Israelis to remove entire Palestinian families if one member is found guilty of activities categorised as terrorism.
Hezbollah struck a naval base at Haifa bay with a barrage of rockets, before hitting other strategic targets in the area
The Lebanese resistance announced the targeting of Israel’s strategic Stella Maris naval base northwest of Haifa with rockets. Hezbollah also later announce that as part of their Khaybar series of operations they targeted the Eliakim base - which contains training camps affiliated with the Northern Regional Command of the Israeli army - south of Haifa with a missile barrage.
With a vote of 61 in favour and 41 against, the Zionist entity has passed a new law introduced by the Jewish Power Party, an anti-Arab far-right party led by Itamar Ben Gvir, permitting the expulsion of families of individuals accused of terrorism.
Under this law, those found to have committed acts "deemed as terrorism" will have their entire family forcibly expelled to Gaza.
Donald Trump’s largest campaign contributor is Israel’s richest billionaire Miriam Adelson, who donated with the understanding he would permit West Bank annexation
The 2016 Trump campaign was bankrolled by pro-Israeli Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, who requested Donald Trump move the US’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, which the American President ordered when in office. This time around, after the passing of Sheldon Adelson, his wife Miriam Adelson donated 100 million dollars to the 2024 Trump campaign with the request that he allow Israel to annex the illegally occupied West Bank. Adelson’s contribution to Donald Trump’s campaign in this election was even more significant than in 2016.

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen reprised his Borat character on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Many users on social media complained about the Anglo-Israeli’s use of tired stereotypes, but what few know, however, is his deep connections to both the US and Israeli national security states. A MintPress News investigation from @Alan.R.MacLeod delves into this murky relationship.
Cohen once casually revealed that his movie, Brüno, was made with the help of the CIA. Documents abstained under the Freedom of Information Act also show the US military was involved.
Baron Cohen also starred in the Israeli series “The Spy”, made with the help of the Israeli military and the Mossad. The show now serves as a central part of Mossad’s recruitment campaign.
From an early age, Baron Cohen showed a passionate, almost fanatical support for Zionism, and grew up idolizing Shimon Peres. To this day, he maintains extremely close relations with the Israeli state.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Yoav Gallant as Defense Minister and appointed Israel Katz in his place.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has called for people to boycott both the Democratic and Republican parties at the US elections
