                                            ISRAEL SETTLES IN BASES IN CYPRUS The government of Cyprus has given the go-ahead to Israel to move an undetermined number of soldiers and equipment to bases in the south of the island, in what appears to be a move to prepare an attack on the Lebanese border, where the Huzbollah movement operates. by Iran. The situation on the Lebanese border has worsened in recent days. Israel and Hezbollah exchange rocket and missile fire, which has forced the Lebanese population to withdraw to less dangerous areas. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, when the objective was to eliminate the bases of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). In July 2006, Israel intervened again to capture the town of Bint Jebel, considered an important base of the Hezbollah. The intervention lasted 2 weeks and Tsahal withdrew without achieving his objectives. 19 Jew...

                                                      TSAHAL AND WAR CRIMES The so-called “Israeli Defense Forces” (IDF) were born with the mission of defending the territory granted in 1948 by the United Nations for Israel to be born; But over time and after several wars with the Arab environment, the most important military forces in the Middle East have become invaders and occupiers, violating international laws. Since October 8, Tsahal has been committing internationally recognized war crimes in Gaza. The response to the terrorist attack carried out by the military wing of Hamas on October 7 has revealed the genocidal face of the occupying forces. The disproportionate nature is observed in the figures: 1,200 deaths in Israel; more than 37,000 in Gaza. The deaths of Palestinian civilians are followed by situations of undesirable torture. A few days ag...

                           ISRAEL WILL NOT ACCEPT A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE The Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu, reiterated this weekend that he does not rule out a partial ceasefire, but in no case a permanent one "because we want the war to continue." It is the classic rhetoric of a man who has accumulated war crimes since October 8, when Israel responded to the terrorist attack committed by “Hamas” in Jewish territory, with more than 1,250 victims, who were attending a music festival. and they were surprised by the commandos of the “Al Qassem” brigades, dependent on the movement led politically by Ismael Haniyeh. Netanyahu has not changed his position since he stated that his main objective was to eliminate “Hamas” from the face of the earth, without taking into account that the radical Palestinian movement is, above all, an ideology that cannot be eradicated. Regarding the hostages, who are possibly close to a hundr...

                                            ISRAELI FORCES STRIKES NEAR RED CROSS At least 22 Palestinians died this Friday in a strike by Israeli forces that affected the place where the Red Cross representation exists, perfectly identified, despite which they had to shelter another 45 wounded in the same hospital run by the organization. humanitarian organization based in Geneva. Israeli forces have resumed attacks on Rafah and nearby towns, after announcing a “humanitarian pause” of a few hours. The population has taken to the streets to try to look for food. La Cruz Roka points out that “This incident causes a mass casualty influx at the Red Cros nearby hospital and report of additional casualties.” But where the situation has become complicated again is on the border between Lebanon and Israel, due to exchanges of gunfire, missiles and artillery pieces by Jewish forces agai...

                          BIDEN DENOUNCES THE “INGRATITUDE” OF NETANYAHU The president of the United States, Joe Biden, canceled a meeting he had planned with the Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu, alluding to the latter's "ingratitude" regarding the White House peace plan, which has been rejected at the same time that Israel It increased the bombing of Rafah and called for new deaths of Palestinians. Relations between Biden and Netanyahu are going from bad to worse. Today the two statesmen were supposed to meet in Washington to discuss the issue of Iran, but the White House suspended it due to the “lies and ingratitude” of the Jewish leader. According to an official American spokesperson, Netanyahu lied when he publicly stated that Biden has suspended the shipment of weapons to Israel. “We cannot accept Netanyahu's big lie stating that we are holding back the shipment of weapons,” official US sources stressed. Last Tuesda...

                    THE GOLDEN CENTURIES OF AL-ANDALUS For a good part of 700 years, Arabs, Berbers and Christians lived in peace and perfect coexistence in Al-Andalus. They were golden centuries for the Muslims who built architectural treasures such as the Alhambra of Garnata and the Karouan mosque. The Arabs led the world in science, astronomy, surgery, mathematics, art and literature. But there was also a fitna that began in 1009 with a coup d'état and a popular uprising in Córdoba that led to the murder of Abderramán Sanchuelo, son of Almanzor, the deposition of the caliph Hisham II and the rise to power of Muhammad ibn Hisham ibn Abd al. -Jabbar, great-grandson of Abd al-Rahman III. Divided the entire Andalusian territory into a series of taifa kingdoms, it is considered that the fitna came to an end with the definitive abolition of the Caliphate in 1031. Who doesn't remember scientists? Abu al-Abbas al-Nabati; Avempace; Abu Salt of...

                                  HOW MANY HOSTAGES ARE STILL HELD BY HAMAS? The question has been asked, above all, by the families of Hamas prisoners, as well as analysts and people who count the dead and those who have been released, either by the radical group or by Israeli forces. To this day, Israel believes there are “dozens of hostages” still alive. Although the figure that would be closest to reality would be less than a hundred. Even the political leadership of Hamas claims that it does not know the exact number. The hostages are not all in the same place but distributed throughout Gaza, and despite the importance of the intelligence services of Israel and the United States, they continue not to be located. The peace plan carried out by the American president, Joe Biden, has raised hopes that the prisoners would be released in an exchange of Palestinians detained within a humanitarian pause. I...

                                      THE RESPONSIBILITY OF HAMAS On October 7 of last year, the “Al Qasam” brigades dependent on Hamas committed a massacre in Israeli territory, killing some 1,200 Jewish civilians and taking another 250 hostages to Gaza. How to qualify that attack? There is only one word: it was a terrorist act that lacked the slightest justification. The desperation of the Palestinian people, particularly the youth, for not seeing the existence of a free and independent Palestine is understandable. It is also understandable that Israel's violence in the West Bank and Gaza is responded to with violence, in legitimate defense. But on October 7, Hamas committed a terrorist act that it should never have carried out. Hamas knew that Israel would respond to the massacre with far greater violence. The Gaza war began, and Netanyahu's government charged its invading forces with three...

                SPAIN AND TURKEY UNITED IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINE The governments of Ankara and Madrid have highlighted this Thursday their total support for the independence of Palestine, within the framework of the seventh high-level meeting headed by the presidents, Recip Erdogan and Pedro Sánchez, held in the Spanish capital. Fourteen ministers from the two governments participated in this meeting, in which a series of bilateral economic agreements were signed. Erdogan thanked Sánchez for his position in favor of an independent Palestinian state and his association with South Africa in the genocide complaint against Israel, presented at the International Court of Justice / ICJ) Sánchez highlighted that Spain supports Turkey's entry into the European Union, an issue that has difficulties due to the contrary position of other member countries of this international organization. Spain considers that Ankara could give the EU a greater development of...

                             ESPAÑA Y TURQUIA UNIDOS EN APOYO A PALESTINA Los gobiernos de Ankara y Madrid han resaltado este jueves su apoyo total a la independencia  de Palestina, en el marco de la séptima reunión de alto nivel encabezada por los presidentes, Recip Erdogan y Pedro Sánchez, celebrada en la capital española- Catorce ministros de los dos gobiernos participaron en este encuentro, en el que se firmaron una serie de acuerdos bilaterales de carácter económico.

                           THE ORIGIN OF THE DISASTER The resolutions of the United Nations security council (UNOSC) are mandatory; Its legality cannot be in doubt. But there is a country called Israel that fails to comply with everything that concerns it and considers itself to be above good and evil. The incredible; What we could not believe is that a resolution presented by the United States, the country that protects the Jewish state, would not be accepted in Tel Aviv either. The national unity government chaired by Benjamin Netanyahu has allowed itself to give a moral slap to American President Joe Biden by rejecting his peace proposal in Gaza. The United States has made Israel the greatest military power in the Middle East; They defend him before the world and forgive him his mistakes. And now, Netanyahu repays him by continuing the war and the genocide. Israel bears no responsibility for the origin of the Gaza ...

                                                     ISRAEL AGAIN ATTACKS SPAIN Once again, Israel attacks Spain again for having recognized the state of Palestine and joining South Africa in the complaint for genocide presented to the International Court of Justice (IJT). The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz, has published a manipulated photo of the president, Pedro Sánchez, with the vice president of the government, Yolanda Diaz, in which they appear with eggs that have been thrown at his head. Katz says that these eggs have been thrown at them by the voters when they were defeated in the last European Parliament elections. This is not strictly true. The Sanchez and Diaz parties have lost many votes in these elections but maintain the government. Díaz has resigned from the leadership of her party, “Sumar” of the left wing. The loss of votes mus...

                        GANTZ RESIGNS AND CREATES A POLITICAL CRISIS IN ISRAEL The centrist politician, Benny Gantz, blew up Israel's “war government” this Sunday, by resigning due to the differences that separate him from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This is an internal political crisis in Israel, but it could have unexpected consequences if, as Gantz calls for, a general election is held and Netanyahu and his Likud party are defeated given the unpopularity of the current head of government. The differences between the radical, Netanyahu, and Gantz are known. The first maintains continuing the war in Gaza at any cost, regardless of the massacres of Palestinian civilians. Gantz considers that a “total military victory” in the Palestinian enclave is impossible and he calls for negotiations for a ceasefire. Gantz believes that the conditions for a total defeat of Hamas do not exist in Gaza, although it is true that the terr...

                                              ISRAEL ON THE “LIST OF SHAME” The United Nations has included Israel on the so-called “List of Shame” which refers to countries that repeatedly violate human rights and, in particular, cause the death of large numbers of innocent children.  The Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, informed the Security Council of this decision, highlighting the death of thousands of children in Gaza due to Israeli bombings, a fact verified by independent journalists. Once again, Israel proves not only to be a genocidal state, but also a continuous violator of all condemnatory resolutions of international organizations. Therefore it is legitimate to affirm that the Jewish state acts like the ancient corsairs, ignoring all laws. Guterres and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu have clashed over the legitimacy of the condemnatory resolutions. Th...

                                      I SRAEL INCREASES STRIKES IN ALL OF GAZA In the last 48 hours, the Israeli armed forces have carried out major strikesin the north, center and south of Gaza, causing more than fifty Palestinian civilian victims. The Zionist state claims, without evidence. Which has caused deaths in the ranks of Hamas. Israel says it bombs schools and hospitals because they provide refuge for Hamas fighters. But there are no testimonies that confirm this statement. Hamas says 17 children were killed in the bombing of a United Nations school, where civilians are sheltering from attacks. No one is safe in schools, hospitals and refugee camps. Furthermore, the bombing of UN schools is carried out without warning, which is another violation of human rights. In Spain, popular demonstrations will be held this weekend in Madrid, Barcelona and other cities calling for Israel to cea...

                                        SPAIN TAKES A NEW STEP AGAINST ISRAEL   The Spanish government has announced today that it joins the accusation of genocide presented by South Africa before the International Court of Justice, based in The Hague. This is a new step to present the war crimes of the Jewish state to the world. The Spanish Foreign Minister, José Manuel Albares, said: “We are not going to fall into provocations and we will act calmly, with tranquility, but we will give the answer,” he said in response to the criticism that Israel carries out against Madrid, in particular. against the president, Pedro Sánchez.  Albares made this announcement from the Viana Palace, where he explained that Spain made this decision in light of the continuation of the military operation in Gaza and the "enormous concern" raised by the regional extension of the conflict. Spain suppo...

                                      NETANYAHU BLOCKS BIDEN'S PEACE PLAN Relations between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Joe Biden are currently experiencing increased tension, both personally and politically, after the Hebrew leader has publicly declared that he does not support the peace plan of the White House. Biden has said it with complete clarity when accusing Netanyahu of blocking the peace plan “for political reasons,” adding that “what he wants is to prolong the war. Asked whether he thought Netanyahu was prolonging the war for his own political reasons, Biden said: “There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion.” It is evident that Netanyahu is a Syrian case study. On the one hand he says that he cares about the Jewish hostages, but on the other hand he acts as if he doesn't care at all. Biden thus finds himself with a politician who wants war above all, and th...

                                     PRESSURE ON ISRAEL TO ACCEPT PEACE PLAN There is some confusion about the peace plan in Gaza released in recent days by the president, Joe Biden, who implied that the Text was released by Israel. ARABINFOCUS has confirmed that the text was prepared by the White House and delivered to Prime Minister Neyanyahu for approval. The Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, and the Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, are the ones who wrote the draft that was effectively handed over to Israel. But Netanyahu made two amendments: Israel will accept the ceasefire but not on a permanent basis until the leadership of Hamas be dismantled. Furthermore, the hostages must be released in their entirety and not in limited groups. Israel, on the other hand, believes that it is premature to talk about the reconstruction of Gaza. Netanyahu is willing to accept Biden's plan, unless he re...

                                         THE END OF THE WAR IN SIX WEEKS? The American president, Joe Biden, unveiled a peace plan for Gaza this Friday, ensuring that Israel could accept it, which means that the war in Gaza would take a serious step towards the end of hostilities in the martyred Palestinian enclave. Biden's plan contains aspects that had already been presented by the mediating countries Qatar and Egypt, which had not achieved a change in Israel's positions, since Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that he wanted to continue the war until the elimination of Hamas. Precisely, the leaders of Hamas have declared that they view the plan announced by the White House in a “positive way.” The first phase of this would be a six-week humanitarian pause. Hamas would release all hostages it holds, and the two sides would continue negotiating a permanent ceasefire. This aspect of th...
