In Israel the Push to Destroy Jerusalem's Iconic Al-Aqsa Mosque Goes Mainstream
This ancient site that dates back to the year 705 C.E. is being targeted for destruction by extremist groups that seek to erase Jerusalem's Muslim heritage in pursuit of colonial ambitions and the fulfillment of end-times prophecy.
The iconic golden dome of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque, located on the Temple Mount or Haram el-Sharif, is the third holiest site in Islam and is recognized throughout the world as a symbol of the city of Jerusalem. Yet, this ancient site that dates back to the year 705 C.E. is being targeted for destruction by increasingly influential extremist groups that seek to erase Jerusalem's Muslim heritage in pursuit of colonial ambitions and the fulfillment of end-times prophecy.
Some observers may have noticed the growing effort by some Israeli government and religious officials to remove the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque from the Jerusalem skyline, not only erasing the holy site in official posters, banners and educational material but also physically removing the building itself. For instance, current Knesset member of the ruling Likud Party, American-born Yehuda Glick, was also the director of the government-funded Temple Institute, which has created relics and detailed architectural plans for a temple that they hope will soon replace Al-Aqsa. Glick is also close friends with Yehuda Etzion, who was part of a failed plot in 1984 to blow up Al-Aqsa mosque and served prison time as a result.
"In the end we'll build the temple and it will be a house of prayer for all nations," Glick told Israeli newspaper Maariv in 2012. A year later, Israel's Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel stated that "[w]e've built many little, little temples...but we need to build a real Temple on the Temple Mount." Ariel stated that the new Jewish Temple must be built on the site where Al-Aqsa currently sits "as it is at the forefront of Jewish salvation." Since then, prominent Israeli politicians have become more and more overt in their support for the end of Jordanian-Palestinian sovereignty over the mosque compound, leading many prominent Palestinians to warn in recent years of plans to destroy the mosque.
In recent years, a centUries-old effort by what was once a small group of extremists has gone increasingly mainstream in Israel, with prominent politicians, religious figures and political parties advocating for the destruction of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque in order to fulfill a specific interpretation of an end-times prophecy that was once considered fringe among practitioners of Judaism.
As Miko Peled, Israeli author and human-rights activist, told MintPress, the movement to destroy Al-Aqsa and replace it with a reimagined Temple "became notable after the 1967 war," and has since grown into "a massive colonial project that uses religious, biblical mythology and symbols to justify its actions" - a project now garnering support from both religious and secular Israelis.

"Largest Land Grab Since 1948" - Israel to Expel 36,000 Palestinians From Negev
According to an Israeli media report, the Israeli government has completed work on a massive, far-reaching plan that would expel an estimated 36,000 Palestinians from "unrecognized" villages in the Negev Desert. If the plan is approved by the Knesset, Israel's legislative body, its implementation could begin as soon as this year and would take four years to complete. News of the plan was first published by Israel Hayom - Israel's largest Hebrew-language newspaper, funded by Sheldon Adelson, the top donor to both U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The plan - compiled by Uri Ariel, Israel's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, and his staff - features the seizure of an estimated 260,00 dunams(64,247 acres) from Palestine's Bedouins. The size of the territory in question and the high number of Palestinians set to be affected has led some to call the plan the largest "land grab" of Palestinian-inhabited land since 1948, when the state of Israel was founded.
Israel Hayom's report stated that, per the new plan, the Palestinian villages would be demolished and the ruins of their homes would then become the sites of "national projects," infrastructure projects, and "secUrity" installations after the forcible "transfer" of the land's current inhabitants to other "state-approved" settlements such as Tel Sheva, Abu Talul and Umm Batin. The report noted that a major motivation behind the plan's creation was the transfer of an arms-industry factory from another part of Israel to the Negev, as well as the expansion of the "Trans-Israel Highway" system.
Furthermore, the plan involves calling for a budget increase to boost the presence of law enforcement officials involved in the forcible "transfer" and in the demolition of Palestinian villages.
Rights groups have yet to comment on the newly announced plan targeting Palestinian communities in the Negev. However, Human Rights Watch has previously condemned Israel's targeting of "unrecognized" Palestinian villages in the region. In 2016, Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa Division, stated:
"The forcible eviction of Bedouin residents to make way for a new Jewish town would be a blatant and ugly episode of discrimination mirroring Israel's unlawful settlements. Long after most of the rest of the world has such rejected racist policies, the Israeli government keeps building and razing communities on the basis of religion and ethnicity."

"Largest Land Grab Since 1948" - Israel to Expel 36,000 Palestinians From Negev
Given the Israeli state's rejection of their existence, government officials have called the Palestinians living in these villagers "violators" and "squatters" - accusing them of illegally occupying "state lands."
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - According to an Israeli media report, the Israeli government has completed work on a massive, far-reaching plan that would expel an estimated 36,000 Palestinians from "unrecognized" villages in the Negev Desert.

Netanyahu's Gift to Settler Movement After Snap Election Called: 2,000 New Homes
Authorities in Israel have advanced plans to have nearly 2,200 settlement homes illegally constructed in the occupied West Bank.
A committee within Israel's Defense Ministry charged with handling such projects approved the plans on Tuesday and Wednesday.
A total of 2,191 settlement homes were advanced this week, with 1,038 clearing their final hurdle in the approval process before construction can begin. The remaining homes are still being processed.
Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law. Members of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement seek to pressure international governments and companies into dropping business with entities that profit off of illegal Israeli settlements.
Last week, the Israeli government aided a law firm linked to Israel's Mossad intelligence agency to pressure a US-based fundraising platform to ban BDS from using its services, Sputnik News reported.
Airbnb, a home rental platform based in the US, also decided recently to ban home rentals in the West Bank, a move which the company has emphasized was not meant as an endorsement of BDS. Illegally occupied settlements in the Golan Heights and elsewhere, however, remain unaffected.
Settlements are a major political issue in Israel, favored by Israel's ruling right wing. What the decision means for Israel's snap elections, announced on Monday, is unclear. Currently, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also occupies the positions of Foreign Minister, Defense Minister, Immigration Minister and Health Minister and is also the subject of multiple corruption investigations.
Netanyahu met with settlement leaders on Wednesday, reportedly saying of the elections: "We'll see an attempt by the left-wing to overthrow our rule with the help of the media and others."
"They can't succeed, because if they do - that will pose a clear danger to the settlement movement," Netanyahu added.
Israel captured large swathes of Palestinian territory in the 1967 war and continues to illegally occupy East Jerusalem, Syria's Golan Heights, and the West Bank, according to multiple United Nations resolutions.
In 2014, then-Housing Minister Uri Ariel said that 400,000 Israelis have settled in the West Bank and an additional 350,000 have moved into East Jerusalem. According to a 2011 report by the BBC, an estimated 20,000 Israeli settlers live in the Golan Heights, although it isn't clear how that number has been affected by the Syrian civil war breaking out that same year.

Is The Gaza Ceasefire The End For Netanyahu?
Authored by Tom Luongo,
"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
H. L. Mencken
The resignation of Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman over the terms of the ceasefire with Palestinians in Gaza has thrown Israeli politics into real turmoil.
Depending on whose analysis of this situation you read you may be tempted to see this as a good thing or a bad thing.
Bernard at Moon of Alabama sees a weakened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being forced to sue of peace after the upgraded response from Gaza. From MoA:
The short conflict demonstrated that:
Israel is deterred. It does not want to launch another war on Gaza.
The siege of Gaza, by Israel, Egypt and by the Palestinian authority under Mahmoud Abbas, failed. The reputational cost of the siege became too high after Israel killed some 160 Palestinians dUring weekly protests along the demarcation fence. It had to allow diesel fuel and money from Qatar to reach Gaza.
The siege failed to prevent that Islamic Jihad, Hamas and other groups acquired a larger number of missiles and other new capabilities.
The Palestinians in Gaza are united. The resistance against the occupation is alive and well.
This leaves Netanyahu scrambling to fend off snap elections and the rise of the even more hard-line Naftali Bennett who has threatened Bibi's coalition outright unless he is made Defense Minister, replacing Lieberman.
MoA sees Netanyahu in a very precarious position, which he is, and will be forced to placate Bennett or risk a snap election that could see his government fall.
And it is on this point that Mintpressnews's Whitney Webb takes another view, namely, that this is not the political victory for Gaza the Palestinians think it is. Since Bennett will step up the brutality to include all Gazans, including children.
With Lieberman's party already withdrawing from Israel's far-right coalition, Netanyahu will likely capitulate to Bennett's demands in order to stabilize the current government and avoid dissolving the Knesset and subsequent snap elections. Thus, the current instability facing the Likud-led coalition now seems fated to result in a rightward surge, whether it's through snap elections or through Netanyahu-led efforts to placate other right-wing parties and prevent them from defecting.
Other powerful politicians within Jewish Home, such as Uri Ariel, have also pushed for Bennett to be appointed. Ariel told Israeli media outlet Arutz Sheva:
Prime Minister Netanyahu should appoint Minister Bennett as defense minister and this government can continue to function. I think there is an advantage in stability, of course assuming that Bennett will bring secUrity policy to a much better place.
Naturally, there is a desire of more than one person to be defense minister, but the most appropriate one is Minister Bennett, who was promised the portfolio by the prime minister in the past, and the promise was not honored."

Israel threatens to cut water to Jordan
Water supply to Amman could be reduced from four to two days a week
Israeli Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel threatened on Monday to cut off water to Jordan in response to King Abdullah's decision to cancel a land-annexing article in its peace deal with Tel Aviv.
Mr Ariel said in an interview with Israel's Channel 1 that water supplies to Amman would be reduced from four to two days a week if Jordan terminates the agreement of the 1994 peace treaty that allows the Israeli government and farmers to use Jordanian lands of Baqura and Ghamr near their shared border.
On Sunday, Jordan's King Abdullah II announced his decision and said that "Baqoura and Ghamr are Jordanian lands and will remain Jordanian and we will exercise full sovereignty over our territory".
Under their peace agreement, Jordan agreed to grant Israeli farmers and military officers free access to the enclave.
King Abdullah said on Sunday he informed Israel of his decision. "We are practising our full sovereignty on our land," he said. "Our priority in these regional circumstances is to protect our interests and do whatever is required for Jordan and the Jordanians."
