    💠@Africa Intel:
    German minister’s plane diverted from Djibouti due to lack of permit. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Wednesday her government plane had to make an unplanned stopover in Saudi Arabia on the way to a visit to Djibouti as it lacked a permit to fly over Eritrea.
    Djibouti was the first stop of Baerbock’s three-day trip to East Africa, where she is scheduled to hold talks on the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Kenya and South Sudan are the next destinations on the agenda. Baerbock said the unplanned stop was a reflection of overall instability in the region because nearby countries Sudan and Yemen could not be used as flyover routes because of armed conflicts there. She added she had planned to convey a message in Djibouti that Germany and the European Union were working on ways to protect Red Sea shipping routes from attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militia.
    [this is very serious. Until recently, Germany was among most respected countries on earth. Today its reputation is in gutter, after having allowed USUK to bomb the Nordstreams without any response, warmongering in 404, and now openly supporting the Gaza Genocide.. how much longer until the Global Majority make the rest of NATO unwelcome, if they continue on the current path?? Very ominous portends from little Eritrea, the canary in the mine. The world bifurcates into the 85% & 15%…]

    💠@Arab_Africa:
    ⭕ 🇪🇷🇮🇷 “Eritrea is ready to expand its relations with Iran even to the strategic level,” said the country’s Foreign Minister Osman Saleh Mohammed. So far only rhetoric, but such an unexpected decision could radically change the balance of power in the Middle East region and strengthen Iran’s control over Bab el-Mandeb and the entrance to the Red Sea, local experts say.

    Currently, Eritrea, like many other states in the Middle East, is trying to maintain normal relations with the warring parties in the Iran-Israel conflict. Let us recall the presence of a “secret” Israeli military reconnaissance base on the territory of the Dahlak archipelago in Eritrea, as well as a wiretapping base on the highest peak of the country, Amba Mossino. In such conditions, the statement by the head of the Eritrean Foreign Ministry means, rather, a desire to maintain neutrality and an equally distant position from both sides of the conflict. [Eritrea is no friend of zionism or the west. Long time socialists and fiercely independent. Most of their population is Orthodox and ancient friend of Russia. Their Prez almost stole the Russia-Africa Summit last July with his denunciation of western gangsterism built on printing the dollar. I dunno why they hosted the Israeli bases; likely enforced as modus vivendi during the tribulations of the HyperPower 1990s with a prostrate Russia withdrawn from Africa.. Note, now they make their move — and the Resistance Axis will lock down both sides of the Gates of Grief]

    ⭕ 🇾🇪 🇺🇸 The Houthi press service has reported a prolonged battle that took place during the transition from the Gulf of Aden to the Bab El-Mandeb Strait at approximately 2:00 PM. According to Ansarallah, an American destroyer covering two cargo ships was hit during the attack.
    There are currently no details or evidence available. The Americans, on the other hand, reported the attack in the afternoon, stating that two ballistic missiles were intercepted, while one landed nearby without causing any damage. Meanwhile, the container ships turned around and headed south.
    It is difficult to ascertain anything for certain at this point, but a reconnaissance aircraft RC-135V took off from Al-Udeid airbase a couple of hours ago. This aircraft patrolled off the coast of Yemen during both the initial and subsequent coalition raids. Therefore, it is also possible that there will be attacks on Ansarallah tonight. #Yemen #USA @rybar  [Who’re you gonna call? Ghostbusters? CENTCOM? Ansarullah? The immediate scrambling of the rivet joint is telling — the aching need for retaliation tells the tale, no??]
    🔹C1: Keep up the good work Yemen 🇾🇪 👏 💪
    🔹C2: Ansarullah is the honest people, they don’t carry out press conference when their missile missed the target. When they said their ballistic missile direct target to US destroyer, it mean their misdile hit the target and they speak honestly.
    🔹C3: Yemeni hero’s hit it directly we believe Yemen you believe bullshit and fake news

    Egyptian president Al-Sisi accuses Israel of blocking delivery of aid

    Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi accused Israel of holding up aid deliveries for the Gaza Strip as a pressure tactic.

    “This is a form of pressure on the Gaza Strip and its people over the conflict and the release of hostages. They are using this as a pressure tool on the people of the Strip,” Sisi said.

    “We used to send Gaza 600 trucks a day. But for the past two to three days, we are not delivering more than 200 to 220 trucks (of aid) per day. How are these people in Gaza living?” Sisi said.

    “Egypt’s Rafah crossing is open 24/7 every day of the month. But the procedures taking place on the Israeli side for us to send in the aid without it being blocked by anyone, they are the reason for holdups.”

    There are rumours France shot down the POW plane yesterday over Belgorod using its AD systems.. then France is at the Presidency of the UNSC this month and denied Lavrov’s request for an immediate hearing over the matter. If true… this is beyond insolence. And indicates Macron’s words earlier this week of “not being at war with Russia” are precisely mockery to goad Russia! This is raving lust for France to be hit and targeted. Every which way. These traitorous transatlantic technocratic satanists are unsurvivable

    150,000 professional soldiers & 290,000 reservists in the Israeli army fighting against 364 sq km in #Gaza and holding the borders with #Lebanon and still need to call up the reservists again?
    What a failure of the “invincible army” and what a resistance.  [what the local ragtag boys do in Gaza with simple homemade RPGs, IEDs, smarts and courage is really a David and Goliath story for the ages. It is shaming all regional “arab armies” sitting on their hands during the Genocide. Hamas is in the lexicon and here to stay..] 
    ⭕ No country in the world can or will stop #Israel, a tiny place in the Middle East. A collective unity of powerful countries can willingly impose sanctions on Israel. But it seems that most world leaders are afraid to do so.  
    ⭕ Why Did the Oslo Accords Fail to Achieve Peace? |THREAD|
    ⭕ The #US needs to conclude its military occupations in #Syria and #Iraq and end the #Israel war on #Gaza. If these steps are not taken, the decline of the US position as a unilateral global hegemon could occur more rapidly than anticipated. Continuing on its current path risks further eroding its global credibility, which is already under considerable strain

    Hannibal doctrine employed: Read
    “The accounts of the only two survivors of the hostage-taking incident in Be’eri on October 7 give the impression that the Israel Defense Forces employed the so-called Hannibal Directive with the people being held hostage by Hamas inside one of the houses on the kibbutz. When it is implemented, the Hannibal Directive allows the military to endanger a soldier to prevent them from being kidnapped.”

    ⭕ BREAKING: Preliminary reports of a drone attack on Ashdod port by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.
    This is in line after the announcement of expanding the escalations after the US bombed their facilities in Iraq. [this is the main East Med port. Being besieged and taken offline. If this continues, no insurer will underwrite cargo headed to its vicinity, as with those transiting the Bab El Mandeb or headed to Eilat in the Gulf of Aqaba]

    💠@Resistance News Network:
    ⭕ 🚨 An IOF airstrike targeted a UNRWA center in Khan Younis housing thousands of displaced people, leading to several martyrs and injuries.
    Bombing by warplanes and artillery shelling has continued for hours in the southern Gaza Strip, particularly in western Khan Younis near Nasser Hospital and Rafah. Concurrently, clashes between the resistance and IOF have also intensified.
    ⭕ 🚨🇮🇶 Kataeb HezbollahIslamic Resistance in Iraq:

    In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

    The continued American obstinacy in attacking the Popular Mobilization Forces and security forces’ headquarters calls for a change in the deterrence equation, by expanding the scope of the resistance’s response from the military bases of the occupying forces to their interests in Iraq and the region.

    The American enemy has committed another crime by bombing the headquarters of the Mobilization Forces in Jurf al-Sakhar, Al-Qaim, and Traibil, which led to the martyrdom of one and the injury of three. This crime adds to their record, already heavy with crimes against humanity and genocidal wars against peoples.

    The Islamic Resistance, Kataeb Hezbollah, will remain on the covenant of striking painful blows to the American occupying forces until they are driven out of the land of Iraq and the region, defeated, so its peoples may enjoy security and stability, in addition to supporting and aiding Gaza, which continues to stand firm against the tyranny of the American entity in the occupied land of Palestine.

    “And victory is only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.”
    Mercy and eternity for the martyrs, patience and solace for their lovers and families, and a speedy recovery for the wounded.

    ⭕ 🟢 Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi to Al-Quds Network:
    🔹Everything released regarding “the deal” aims to mislead the “israeli” public opinion and to shift the responsibility to the resistance, as well as to evade the cost that Netanyahu and his government will have to pay.
    🔹Everything that has been leaked comes within the framework of procrastination and preventing the “israeli” public from pressuring for the completion of a prisoner exchange deal.
    🔹The “israeli” government, with its right-wing composition, finds it difficult to lead paths that result in the return of prisoners. This has been tried with all previous “israeli” governments that initially refused to pay the price but eventually paid a heavy cost.
    🔹The “israelis,” whether the current government or otherwise, will submit, because the cards held by the resistance are strong and real. No “israeli” government or Prime Minister is able to evade them.
    🔹The war will not continue indefinitely. The occupation’s ability to sustain it for a long time is limited and falls under the category of misleading public opinion. Netanyahu and his government will not be able to bear more losses.
    🔹International support for the occupation is crumbling and receding, with many countries reconsidering and redefining their positions differently from the past, in addition to the expected decision of the International Court of Justice regarding the war.
    ⭕ 🟢 A senior source in Al-Qassam reveals to Al-Jazeera details of the bombing operation east of Al-Maghazi in which more than 20 “israeli” officers and soldiers were killed:
    🔹Our fighters have been stationed for weeks in the operation area east of Al-Maghazi despite the intense and continuous bombardment.
    🔹The instructions were to avoid engagement with the forces infiltrating Al-Maghazi camp while waiting for a valuable target.
    🔹The enemy intensified fire in the area and combed it until it was thought to be safe, then engineering forces were brought in.
    🔹Our fighters monitored the advancing enemy force and identified it as an engineering unit based on their identity and equipment.
    🔹The fighters preferred not to engage with another infantry force standing over a minefield previously prepared by Al-Qassam.
    🔹The fighters waited for the force to finish its work and set the explosives, then targeted it with an anti-personnel shell.
    ⭕ 🚨🟢 Al-Qassam Brigades releases scenes obtained from IOF soldiers’ cameras to Al-Jazeera, showing occupation soldiers before they were targeted by the resistance while they were rigging Palestinian homes with explosives in the Al-Maghazi operation. The operation led to at least 21 dead soldiers and 7 wounded. |video|


    Steadfast until liberation, a man from #Gaza posted pictures of his attempt to repair parts of his home after it was bombed by the IOF.  [this is heartbreaking. The entire neighborhood is condemned, unsafe until torn down and rebuilt. But hope dies last.. home is home, even in a destroyed refugee camp]
    ⭕ 🚨 Armed clashes break out between resistance fighters and zionist forces invading #Jenin [WB]. Two military bulldozers are accompanying incoming IOF reinforcements.
    ⭕ The resistance in Iraq carried out a drone attack on the “Port of Ashdod” north of #Gaza in occupied Palestine moments ago. This is the second attack on the port in the last two days, coming after the Iraqi resistance began the second phase of its operations yesterday to impose a blockade on the Mediterranean Sea.
    ⭕ As armed clashes escalate in #Jenin, a large explosion shook the city after resistance fighters detonated a powerful explosive device on an IOF vehicle.
    The resistance in Jenin has warned the IOF: “We are waiting for you.”
    ⭕ Armed clashes are continuing between resistance fighters and zionist forces in #Jenin. Moments ago, the IOF lit flares above the city amidst the clashes.

    It’s all going south for the crazy elites (before missiling of their floating semi-derelicts tonight). Zionazis on the ground can neither defeat “Hamas” nor expedite the Annihilation against the civilians who refuse to just die or go away. Egypt refuses to open Sinai. UNSC and ICJ pressure is off the charts. There are resultant catastrophes as the Rest of Humanity flees the lunatics into the arms of China at G77 (actually has 134 nations now). Worst, KSA has weighed in, offering coy “normalization” for the bitterest apple: a two-state solution, which is anathema to messianic judaism and zionism, built on exclusionary supremacism and ethnic cleansing. They have lost conventional superiority, can only destroy, but are themselves being destroyed.

    Shocker alert

    Netanyahu – stop trying to push your luck, you can not handle Al-Qassam, what will you do if we decide its over and decide to get in?

    When I was in, I was always told the enemy is in North-East, that the enemy will always be there unless there is true peace achieved – that standing vigilance at the borders, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day is something that will not change no matter what

    Ever since I wrote about the deterioration of talks, I knew something like that will happen, but I did not expect it too soon.

    Netanyahu – you are a grown up, you are slowly getting yourself into a fight you know that you can not win, sit down at the table, because sometimes poking an agitated nation state will result in unpleasant surprises.

    ⭕ About the new phase of the struggle of the “Islamic resistance in Iraq”
    A new round of confrontation between the US Armed Forces and pro-Iranian groups has occurred in Syria and Iraq.
    ▪️ Last evening, units of Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada attacked the Conoco base in the Syrian Trans-Euphrates region (Deir ez-Zor province).
    ▪️ In response, several American MQ-9A Reaper and MQ-1C drones, taking off from the Al-Salem airbase in Kuwait, headed towards the Al-Bukamal-Al-Qaim border crossing in Al-Anbar province and Baghdad.
    ▪️ One strike hit a Shiite militia base in Jurf al-Sahar, south of the Iraqi capital. Several people died.
    ▪️ Two UAVs, bypassing Rusafa, flew to Al-Sikka in the Al-Qaim district: an aerial bomb hit pro-Iranian forces.
    📌This operation is not extraordinary: it is a typical exchange of blows between the conflicting parties. The reaction from the proxy was predictable: the US military base Conoco was fired upon again.
    ❗️However, official representatives of the Shiite group have announced that the second phase of operations is beginning, which will include attacks on Israel’s port infrastructure.

    The distance from the traditional areas where pro-Iranian forces are present to Haifa is about 600 km and a little more to Eilat. With the presence of Iranian weapons, they can easily reach these targets, which will create additional problems for the ultra-Orthodox rule in Israel.
    [note Al Qaim which was struck is in the Syrian Desert border region. It has been repeatedly targeted, to defend the USUK terrorist proxies based in this area…]
    ⭕ Viktor Orban confirmed to Stoltenberg that the Hungarian government supports Sweden’s entry into NATO.
    Lavrov: I hope those [Europeans] who “warn” about the need to prepare for war with Russia still have the instinct for self-preservation. [how many in the west are “tapping into their inner Zelensky?”]
    ⭕ CNN from US official: “We do not intend to withdraw our troops from Syria and this issue is not under consideration.”  [an emphatic double denial. So it IS under consideration. But the Pentagon better do it on the quick and sly, afore the crazies get wind…]

Dutch are as loyal to zionism and imperialism as Anglo-French. This may indicate severe desperation of the zionists.

    ⭕ The United States wishes to “reconsider their military priorities” in the Middle East, such reconsideration could mean that U.S forces will leave Syria, where they currently occupy Al-Tanf (housing some 600 militant fighters against Assad), the demarcation lines in the North, and SDF spots. [Right! Dream on. Whoever had the epiphany and spoke out of line needs to up their life insurance, for the family’s sake. “The Clinton cleaners” may be coming..]
    ⭕ Well – I am telling you, Turkey is probably going to invade Rojava, and Assad is probably going to invade Al-Tanf and Idlib, is it finally coming to an end, that orgy of violence that was ongoing for almost 13 years?
    Maybe so, but its end is going to be bloodier, and its not going to be well for any civilians in the middle. [there is no need for Assad to invade. Bombard and evict the Yanks, cut the logistics and it will fall apart. And all this is not only in the works, but occuring as I type]

    Operation Poseidon Archer continues
    🔹The US and UK carried out additional strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen the night before last, marking the 8th round of US military attacks against the Houthis in just over 10 days.
    🔹They struck eight sites, according to the statement from the United States and the United Kingdom, which carried out the strikes, and Canada, the Netherlands, Bahrain and Australia, which supported the attacks.
    🔹This is a lower number than the first joint operation on January 11 which struck more than 30 Houthi targets.
    🔹For the first time, the United States also struck an underground storage facility used by the Houthis. The storage site was assessed as having “more advanced conventional weapons,” including missiles and one-way attack drones.

But this is not needed. Jeddah is within easy reach of Yemen — look on the map. One of the first vessels missiled was just south of Jeddah in November! It would be easy to put all of Jeddah port out of service with warnings and a few missiles. The entire Red Sea is within reach of Yemen. And KSA can still get its sea cargo via the Persian Gulf, so no need to savage KSA. zugzwang]
    US urges China to help curb attacks by Iran-backed Houthis in Red Sea. The United States has asked China to urge Tehran to contain Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea, but has seen little sign of help from Beijing [this is so funny!

    🔹South Africa expects the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to decide on Friday whether it will grant emergency measures to end the war in Gaza, the South Africa news site reported. African News24.
    🔹In response to this information, the spokesperson for the South African Ministry of Justice, Chrispin Phiri, posted on X: “We have no official communication from the court as to when the judgment will be rendered. ”
    🔹A spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry said it was not aware of it and was investigating the matter.

    🔹C1: Which confirms that Russia has indeed got its hands on the stocks of uranium and plutonium in Zaporozhye. This nuclear weapons program mentioned just a few days before the start of the war has probably already been the trigger for the conflict, which also confirms that everything is being done to provoke an escalation of the conflict at the moment.
    🔹C2: Ah, we are pushing for the start of the use of Russian tactical nuclear weapons on Ukraine to allow the Americans to then do it with impunity on Iran and any other reckless adversary (there are a few too many for the tastes of the Yankees lately). The Ukrainians have truly served as a cannon fodder for more than one US strategic objective. The Yankees’ Very Useful Idiot
    🔹C3: Dog shit is still talking shit: Ukraine never had nuclear weapons, they were always controlled by Moscow.
    🔹C4: We encourage Iran and Algeria to acquire nuclear weapons as quickly as possible so as not to be dismantled.
    🔹C5: And what will the Russians do? Fall into the trap ? / Play the game (according to certain conspiracy theories)? Or will they simply have no choice?
    🔹C6: Well, this time it’s much more about American politics. They’re looking to create a precedent of a country using a tactical nuclear weapon to go ‘Here it’s not just us and Hiroshima.’ Then they will unleash themselves on everyone. The problem is that they still carry the shame of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, despite all their attempts to try to pass it off as a necessity.

    In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

    We call on the United Nations and its institutions, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the World Health Organization to take immediate action and fulfill their responsibilities in the face of the ongoing brutal zionist war on hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The Nasser Medical Complex and Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis are currently facing direct targeting, with shootings from zionist drones at their buildings and courtyards, and continuous aerial and artillery bombardment around them, putting the lives of patients, medical staff, and thousands of displaced people in these facilities at risk.

    This deliberate and ongoing targeting of hospitals is a clear war crime happening in sound and image for the entire world to see. It is part of the comprehensive zionist genocide war against our people in the Gaza Strip, with the full support of the American administration, which is a partner in these crimes and violations.

    🔹The Al-Maghazi operation confirms the failure of all the occupation’s objectives.
    🔹The occupation is in shock due to the recent targeting of its soldiers.
    🔹Since the first day of the aggression on Gaza, there has been complete coordination between the resistance against the occupation.
    🔹We realize that the unity of the field is a fundamental pillar for victory over the occupation.
    🔹America is in a state of confusion and wants to achieve in politics and negotiations what the enemy could not achieve on the ground.
    🔹The occupation should secure an island for its settlers, not for the Palestinian people.
    🔹The resistance will only negotiate on the terms it imposes.
    🔹The blows received by the enemy will force it and the United States to stop the aggression.

    🔹If “israel” shifts to only aerial bombing, it will not achieve any goal.
    🔹A prisoner exchange must be accompanied by a ceasefire and withdrawal from Gaza.
    🔹“Israel” is currently the one looking for a way out of Gaza.
    🔹The matter of governance in Gaza is an internal affair to be decided by the Palestinian people according to their interests.
    🔹”Israel” will be forced to look for exits as long as it is losing on the battlefield.
    ⭕ 🟢 Senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan to Al-Mayadeen:

    🔹Operations like the Al-Maghazi operation demonstrate that there is no horizon in sight for the aggression to reach a happy ending for “israel.”
    🔹The theory of “israeli” security has fallen, and the “israeli” occupation army is unable to protect itself. The occupation is resorting to desperate measures.
    🔹The Americans should seriously consider that the circle of resistance is expanding and may attract other forces to join.
    🔹I don’t think Egypt will accept the occupation of its land if “israel” takes control of the Philadelphia Corridor.
    🔹There are a number of proposals for a ceasefire. The summary of the “israeli” proposals is a temporary truce followed by a return to fighting.
    🔹We have presented a concept that includes ending the aggression on the Gaza Strip, guarantees against recurring aggression, and then a prisoner exchange process.
    🔹We feel the pain of what is happening to our people, and we will not surrender our people to “israel” for them to take over Gaza.
    🔹The resistance cannot be expelled from its homeland, and I remind you that the occupation’s withdrawal from Gaza was under the pressure of resistance.
    🔹We call on the world to think about the post-“israel” era as a result of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation.
    🔹The Americans want to organize the region according to their interests and realize that the ongoing conflict will dismantle any front in the region that includes “israel.”
    🔹The Americans are trying in vain to tell “israel” that there is a strategic idea that is collapsing due to the “israeli” crime in Gaza.
    🔹Before the martyrdom of leader Al-Arouri, an agreement was reached on a basis for a strategic project to organize the Palestinian internal affairs.
    🔹We are content with the efforts of the resistance, especially as it is a serious resistance in the face of the occupation and the American project in the region.
    ⭕ 🚨🇵🇸 The Palestinian Factions:

    A statement issued by the Palestinian factions regarding the heroic performance of the resistance in the ongoing battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.

    After 110 days of the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, the Palestinian resistance continues its creativity and journey in hurting the enemy and striking the Nazi zionist occupation with force in all fronts of combat. It confronts the genocide war with utmost bravery and honor in defense of our people, our land, our sanctities, and our prisoners, with a resistance, rare in its strength and seldom paralleled, that will be spoken of by generations to come.

    Faced with this legendary performance since the beginning of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th of last year to this day, we affirm the following:
    🔹We salute our proud and steadfast people who embrace, support, and lead the resistance with their patience and steadfastness towards the decisive victory. We also ask for mercy for the martyrs of our people, wish a speedy recovery for our heroic wounded, and freedom for our free prisoners.
    🔹We affirm our absolute, complete, and unlimited support for the Palestinian resistance and express our pride and esteem for its heroic performance, which armies of states have failed to achieve even a fraction of.
    🔹We affirm to the zionist occupation, the American administration, their allies, and all who have bet on the fall and breaking of the resistance after the genocide war: your bet has lost, and your hopes have been disappointed. The defeat of your entity, the end of your aggression, and the retreat of your defeated army are imminent under the strikes and bravery of the resistance.
    🔹We call on our Arab and Islamic nation and all free people of the world everywhere to mobilize in support and victory of our people and our resistance by all means and possibilities. We also call on the sons of the Arab and Islamic nation and every free individual to participate and engage in resisting the zionist occupation and its supporters.
    🔹The performance of the resistance has proven to everyone that Netanyahu, who seeks an illusory image of victory after the fall of his prestige and the breaking and defeat of his army on October 7th of last year, has failed and will not achieve it in the face of the steadfastness and firmness of our heroic people.

    In conclusion: To our people everywhere, we assure you that victory is the ally of our people and our resistance. Victory comes with patience, and the blood and sacrifices of our people will only be written with victory and freedom.

    Mercy for the martyrs, healing for the wounded, freedom for the prisoners, and victory for our people and our resistance.

    ⭕ 🚨 BREAKING: In a clear breach of the terms of the previous exchange deal, the occupation re-arrests the child Yousef Al-Khatib, who was released as part of the exchange batches during November’s week-long ceasefire.

    17-year-old Youssef Abdullah Al-Khatib was abducted in #Areeha today, after he was summoned by the zionist intelligence earlier today.
    He is the first to be re-arrested among the children released as part of the exchange batches that took place in November 2023.

    Before today, Youssef was beaten and arrested on December 9th, 2023, but he was released two hours later because the arrest would violate the agreement. At the time of his release, Youssef served three months of his administrative detention without charge or trial.

    The Prisoners’ Club noted that this arrest sets a dangerous precedent for the others from the 169 children and 71 women released in November’s exchanges. Notably, the occupation has a history of re-arresting those freed in exchange deals, such as the dozens they abducted following 2011’s Loyalty of the Free deal.
    [these inevitable betrayals, since zionazis lack the very concept of honor, bakes in their eradication too. It makes it explicit, as with UkroNazis fanatics, that coexistence is simply not possible with such satanic madmen. Rather, they will be fought until driven into the Sea…]

    ⭕ ⚪ Mujahideen Movement:

    We strongly condemn the new American aggression on sites in brotherly Iraq, which is an extension of the ongoing American, zionist, and Western aggression on our nation and its resources.

    The United States continues its aggression and arrogance towards the peoples of our nation in order to protect the zionist criminals and to prevent any moral military intervention to stop the genocides committed by the zionist entity against the people of Gaza, or even to break the siege and the brutal starvation policy it implements against them.

    We affirm that the zionist entity, the occupation, and the American bases in the Arab and Islamic region are sources of evil, terrorism, and destruction. Therefore, it is imperative to unite efforts to uproot this malignant tumor from the body of the nation.

    We confirm that the policy of aggression and global terrorism led by America will not deter the living forces of the nation from confronting and resisting American injustice, arrogance, and hubris.

    Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

    With great pride and honor, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, on behalf of its Secretary-General, his Deputy, Political Bureau, Central Committee, and all its members in the homeland and in the diaspora, mourns its heroic comrade, the martyr Yamen Al-Huseiti, a member of the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, who was martyred after being injured while confronting the invading occupation forces in the town of Arraba, southwest of Jenin in the West Bank, after being denied medical evacuation from the field of honor and dignity, becoming a towering hero and a beacon guiding every revolutionary Palestinian youth, sacrificing his life in defense of his people and for the redemption of Palestine.

    The brave and valiant martyr, despite his young age, believed in resistance and struggle as the sole path to confront the occupation and redress its injustices, following in the footsteps of those who shed their blood before him on the path to liberation and return. Congratulations to Palestine for that pure blood that cement our right to the entire land and document the enemy’s aggression and brutality.

    As the Popular Front extends its deepest condolences to his family, comrades, and friends, it reaffirms its commitment to continue the path of struggle and resistance until the occupation is expelled, the entire Palestinian land is reclaimed, and the independent state is established with Al-Quds as its capital. It urges our people in the occupied West Bank to actively participate in the struggle, uniting with our proud people in Gaza of glory until the last occupier is expelled from our land.

    We pledge to all martyrs to remain holding rifles in the face of the enemy, inflicting the greatest losses in all battlefields wherever they may be, and to avenge all of its treacherous practices against our steadfast people facing the occupation’s plots and despicable actions.

    Glory and eternity to our righteous martyrs, and disgrace and shame to the zionist occupation.
    Victory is certainly the ally of our people and their valiant resistance.

    It is too pat. We’ve seen western predictive messaging along these lines since at least the 2012 “I Pet Goat 2” cartoon. Russian General Staff has contingencies.

    There are recent clues who will be held responsible too:
    1. If it is true Nigerien yellow cake was used, it would be the French megacorp Orano, who ran the entire country’s uranium mines
    2. Recently, France has been particularly singled out, with the Kharkov strike on French mercenaries, summoning of the French Ambassador and other maneuvers, eventhough all NATO and especially USUK infests 404. Letters are going out to the French Parliament..
    3. 99% of the Nigerien Junta elite was just hosted in Moscow (braving the ungodly cold). Niger and Russia are assuming a strategic relationship! Thick as thieves indeed. What secrets will new good buddies share, with urgent need to protect Russia in mind?
    4. Lavrov traveled to NYC specifically about 404

    Can we say notices were served? In particular to liable Frenchie if anything goes “poof!” west of the Urals?? And to Frenchie’s suzerain in NYC of what happens to CONUS, and that the Russian Nuclear Doctrine doesn’t differentiate between tactical and strategic strikes against it? And that like the deranged past narrative that Al Assad gassed his enemies’ civilians even though on cusp of victory, similar dementia would not be tolerated against a Russia on cusp of victory in 404. Really, the supreme delusion of the Hegemon’s alternate Reality and crazed narratives smashes headlong into the hard Reality of the normal 90% of Humanity.

    And those who proscribed Law and engaged in law of the jungle (proud inheritors of the satanic Greco-Roman savagery) will be made to eat the humble pie of eviscerating strategic defeat on the Steppes of Novorussiya whether they are willing to tolerate it or not. This is what it means to not only lose hegemony but now face a superior force.. They had been warned in Dec 2021 that “military-technical” would be loosened. Modern Melos will relearn the Dictum “the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

    PS — the old Chinese saying may apply: “strangle the cock to scare the Monkey.” Note the daily ongoing drumbeats in Russian media of the cheese-eating rooster’s dastardliness in 404, and that the senile Rooster risks open war from Russia. So Lavrov’s (last ever?) trip to NYC is most pregnant. Will the Monkey with grenades heed?

    Finally, escalation of war by Iraqis to fully shut down Med Sea ports! We’ve entered a new phase of regional war on Anglo-Zionists.. Note, as last time, it immediately follows upon Hezbollah neutralization of the Meron airbase in north Palestine, permitting ease of missiling from Iraq.

    ⭕ A large photo of Yemeni revolutionary leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi was hung on the walls of Istanbul today
    ⭕ The member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, said: “You are the guardians of Israeli destruction, and America and Britain cannot be the protectors of prosperity, because all corners of the world witness either your destruction or your protection of destruction, as is the case in Gaza or what you have done in Yemen.

    – Your strikes will only make the Yemeni people stronger and more determined to confront you, as you are the aggressors against our country.

    – The American and British governments should understand that we are in an era of retaliation and that our people do not know surrender.

    – Our Yemeni people are fighting today to prevent the extermination of the children of Gaza and to break the siege on them, while America is fighting and bombing the children of Yemen to protect the criminal terrorist enemy, Israel, and there is a stark difference between the two options.

    – Our people bear faith and trust in their leader, and they know that the choice to support Palestine, which their leader, Mr. Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, has chosen, is the right choice to protect humanity and a noble goal stemming from the depths of our Islamic law.

    – If you possess weapons, the Yemeni people also possess weapons, and if you have power, we are stronger with Allah.

    – We say to America and Britain that their aggression is nothing new, as they have been practicing it against the Yemeni Republic since 2015 until now, and the aggression is one and the criminal is one.

    – We say to the American and British governments that they cannot use the Yemeni retaliation to their aggression on Yemen as an excuse to portray themselves as the victims. They are terrorist criminals and this is well known to our people and the people of the region.

    🔹Simultaneously, the fighters destroyed a Merkava tank, that was providing cover for the force, with a Yassin-105 rocket.
    🔹They also detonated a minefield blowing up another Zionist force in the same location, resulting in casualties, including deaths and injuries. The fighters withdrew safely to their bases.

    How can you, as one of over 7 million seeking return, authentically be a part of the Palestinian struggle? How can you truly unite with the daily struggle happening on the ground in Nablus, Jenin, Gaza, and the refugee camps?

    As we delve into these questions, we must recognize the power of resistance in defining our existence, which encapsulates more than just symbolic solidarity or marches and includes risk and sacrifice. This is a resistance that dignifies, that asserts our identity and our unbroken connection to the struggle—resistance is existence.

    Watch as our revolutionary comrades explore the role of sacrifice, organization, and the relentless pursuit of dignity. They remind us that you are part of the daily battle for Palestinian existence. It is an ideological—not a personal or geographical—battle.

    The journey toward liberation and true unity begins within us, challenging us to make conscious choices and sacrifices. Diaspora must forge ahead to create the “popular cradle” that supports resistance inside and outside. To feel the fear of repression yet not be deterred, to see the intersections between our struggle and wider movements against imperialism, and to engage in resistance that illuminates the path: these are the steps we need to take.

    Saudi Arabia replaces logistics via Red Sea with overland routes

    The crisis situation in the Red Sea continues to worsen. More and more shipping companies are choosing routes around the Cape of Good Hope, which greatly increases the cost and duration of delivery.

    Logistics at sea between UAE and KSA ports is also suffering . Thus, due to the route in the Red Sea, transportation from the port of Jebel Ali to the Saudi port of Jeddah began to grow from $450–$500 to $2,500 per twenty-foot container.

    Companies from the UAE have found a temporary solution in land routes through the Saudi Arabian Dammam. The distance from Dammam to Jeddah is 1200 kilometers. This logistics corridor is beneficial not only due to low costs, but also to ensure timely delivery of orders from Saudi Arabia.

    However, the lack of containers for overland cargo transportation still prevents the route from being used more actively. In addition, transit cargo heading to the Gulf countries must wait more than a week at the UAE border to obtain Fasah clearance from Saudi customs, and therefore this corridor is not able to replace Saudi Arabia’s usual sea route.
    [Why should KSA drop this sea trade if it has nothing to fear?? Could its ports on the Red Sea have been used to support zionism? Nevertheless, this is also being promoted to normalize the land route to the zionists.. but again, cargo trucks cannot fully replace Sea trade. Perhaps trains, but their tracks aren’t fully built yet.. And even then, circumvention to support Genocide will itself be interdicted by regional/local Resistance forces. Zugzwang. If they were smarter and less consumed by pleonexia, avarice and satanism, the desert bedouins would realize the endpoint of all these futile thrashings. They will not out-think the inventors of Chess and millennia-long owners of real civilization. And they stand to lose all.
    btw, none in the satanic camp trust each other. Customs between UAE and KSA take so long because the latter cannot trust the former to insert weapons and other tools of internal destabilization, which it seeds on every other continent! So this basic precautionary measure, which no urging by zio-USUK can overcome to speed up deliveries for zionists, helps hamstring the land route, lol! Fresh produce and food cannot survive these enforced security measures. Even live animals fare hardship transiting the harsh Syrian desert to the final destination of occupied Palestine — Australia just yesterday returned a ship of sheep/goats back home as could neither run the Bab El Mandeb Gauntlet nor has viable alternative at the moment. It also informs with sea lines permanently cut or unreliable, why the zionists intend to expand to south Lebanon/Nile delta and eastern bank of the Nile for their farm lands. Zionism henceforth must be solely reliant on themselves within West Asia..]

IMO, as the Genocide of Gaza was permited to fully sink the West in the eyes of humanity and permit the necessary expungement that follows, so the GCC was permitted to establish this clear lifeline to satanic zionazis, thereby falling into a similar trap. Their profile was as well known as their western suzerain by this point. And they fell into the trap with glee… the coolness of Putin’s kiss to the UAE/KSA cheeks a few weeks ago! He knew what they would do. Payback for Chechnya and funding global terrorism is a cold bitch. The GCC had assumed they had BRICS cover to assist Genocide. They will learn otherwise]
    ⭕ Israel announced 21 officers and soldiers killed and 34 wounded in the last 12 hours, west of the Khan Yunis camp, where the Palestinian resistance is waging a fierce battle against the occupation forces
    ⭕ 24 Israeli officers and soldiers were killed by the Palestinian resistance in the last 12 hours.
    If the resistance manages to inflict similar casualties on the occupation and invaders, @Netanyahu will be under more significant domestic pressure
    ⭕ Not enough to go to war with #Yemen, we have to prepare for other wars with #Russia, #China, #Iran and #NorthKorea. The #UK is punching way above its weight.
    How about starting by stopping the war on #Gaza? |LINK| [as deranged as it sounds, the intent is clearly served, endorsed among the combined elite of USUK. How and with what do they intend to wage such wars??] 
    ⭕ If you are an Israeli soldier or officer fighting in #Gaza, or if u have families held captive by #Hamas, know that #Israel will not hesitate to kill you or bomb your tank or the place suspected of holding Israeli prisoners, because the Hannibal Doctrine will be applied in full.
    ⭕ Israel kills 240 Palestinian daily, mainly children & women but consider losing 24 Israeli officers and soldiers in one day while fighting in #Gaza as a “very painful hit that breaks our hearts ” & “one of the most difficult day in our history while fighting a fair war”. Clowns.🤡
    I give two days to the Israelis before starting to attack the politicians for this “catastrophe”.
    ⭕ When you eat or you see your children eating, remember how #Israel is purposely starving more than 600.000 Palestinians, committing crimes against humanity under the world’s watchful eyes.
    ⭕ Israel destroyed 400.000 Palestinian homes in the middle of the winter; more than 1.8 million are displaced of which 1.3 million are in Rafah squeezed in an area that usually host 300.000. The Israeli collective punishment has been recognised by all countries and organisations and yet nothing has been done to stop it.
    ⭕ Retweet: BREAKING:
    ⚡ 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Hezbollah totally destroyed the Meron Air Control center in the north of Israel
    The IOF admits damage was inflicted to the Meron Air Control center due to Hezbollah’s rocket attack. The IOF added that the base has a backup system.
    But reports from the field say that the center is totally destroyed. Because of this, the flights of the Israeli army in the region have been drastically reduced.

    💠@Quds News Network:
    ⭕ According to a British government document, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron recommended British arms sales to Israel despite “serious concerns” in the Foreign Office that it had breached international law in Gaza.
    The government also hid the document from the parliament, according to MPs.

    💠@MintPress News:
    ⭕ Declassified UK reported that the UK military has conducted 50 surveillance flights over Gaza since December.
    The flights took off from RAF Akrotiri, Britain’s controversial air base in Cyprus, on average at least once a day.
