- After the targeting of top Hamas commander Muhammed Sinwar in May 2025, the Israeli military sent a special unit into an underground complex he had used.
- There, they found a computer unconnected to a network that held an image of a six-page memo, handwritten in Arabic, by his brother, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who helped plot the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. Dated Aug. 24, 2022, it was a directive with instructions for the assault.
- The memo, a copy of which was obtained by the New York Times, calls for fighters to target soldiers and civilian communities – as well as to broadcast the violent acts so as to evoke fear in Israelis and destabilize the country.
- Commanders then issued similar instructions on Oct. 7. The memo shows that Sinwar wanted his fighters to target civilians from the outset. It lays out orders for fighters to enter residential neighborhoods and set them on fire.
- The memo outlined a plan for a surprise attack on Israel, calling for bulldozers to make openings in the fence separating Gaza and Israel, and multiple waves of attackers.
- “Operations in which an entire neighborhood, kibbutz, or something similar will be burned must be prepared….It needs to be affirmed to the unit commanders to undertake these actions intentionally, film them and broadcast images of them as fast as possible.
- In an echo to the memo, according to phone intercepts from Oct. 7, a commander from a Gaza City battalion told subordinates: “Start setting homes on fire. Burn, burn. I want the whole kibbutz to be in flames.”
- A commander from a battalion in northern Gaza told his team: “Slit their throats. Slit them as you are trained.” A Jabaliya battalion commander said: “Kill everyone on the road. Kill everyone you encounter.” Commander Abu Muath said: “Guys, take a lot of hostages.” (New York Times)
Intercepted Communications Reveal Hamas’s Orders to Target Israeli Civilians
Hamas rebrands itself to bypass the agreement terms under the “deal”
Hamas is supposed to disarm and stay out of power,
However, its terrorists have reappeared in Gaza’s streets without uniforms or green headbands, calling themselves the “Gaza security forces.”
It’s the same terror group in disguise.
Their goal is to fool the world into thinking Hamas is gone while keeping control of their weapons.
Will billions of dollars meant for Gaza’s reconstruction money now rebuild Hamas and fund the next massacre?
Willl they get away with it?
The real reason Netanyahu canceled his participation in the Gaza summit
After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepted US President Donald Trump’s invitation to join the peace conference in Egypt, several Arab leaders threatened to boycott the event. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan went so far as to warn Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi that he would turn his plane back to Ankara if Netanyahu arrived.
The threat worked, and Netanyahu canceled his participation in the summit, despite Trump’s encouragement for him to attend.
According to the Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency, Erdogan’s aircraft circled in the air several times before the announcement that Netanyahu had withdrawn from the conference. The agency added a telling detail: “President Erdogan’s plane crossed the approach path to Sharm el-Sheikh and remained for a time over the Red Sea.”
Israel Hayom has learned that the Turks also conveyed a message to the Americans, expressing anger that the move had not been coordinated with them. Following consultations between American officials and later with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides, it was decided to cancel the visit. Netanyahu’s office then searched for an explanation for his withdrawal from the summit, eventually settling on “the start of the holiday” as the reason. In reality, there had been no discussion of the matter with the ultra-Orthodox parties or with the right-wing factions in the coalition.
A diplomatic source involved in the events told Israel Hayom that several countries are still not ready for President Donald Trump’s groundbreaking regional initiatives and that more time and progress in other areas are needed to arrange a broad meeting of regional leaders with Israel.
According to the source, such a summit requires lengthy diplomatic preparation and prior agreement on key understandings. “The president’s diplomatic spontaneity did not go down smoothly with several regional leaders,” the source added.
As previously reported by Israel Hayom, Trump is planning a more organized and extended visit to the region in the coming months to announce his “mega deal” — his political, strategic, and economic plan for the Middle East, which is expected to include expanding the Abraham Accords and additional agreements in the fields of energy, trade, and more.
Ten Reasons to Stand by Israel
Turmoil, hatred and violence erupted against Jews in the aftermath of the barbaric Hamas massacre against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. This perverse response reveals something of the moral crisis in the West.
It’s also a moment for reiterating the essence of Jewish peoplehood and modern Jewish nationalism, recalling the basics of the Muslim-Jewish conflict and reaffirming resolve in standing by Israel.
Thus, it’s imperative to avoid the pitfalls of leftist indoctrination, historical falsification, antisemitism, Zionist demonization and Islamic dhimmi subjugation. Here are reasons to clarify and justify your stand.
WHO ARE THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
1. The ancient four millennia story of the Jewish people encompasses Torah truth and faith, a vast legal, ethical, scientific, and prophetic heritage, crowned with the Hebrew language and the covenant with the Land of Israel, all of unique longevity as a Jewish treasure bequeathed to the human race.
WHAT DEFINES THE JEWISH PEOPLE?
2. The Jewish ethos uniquely combines a national identity with a universal mission, drawing upon the model of Abraham who in his person and profile was the biblical father of the Hebrews and the teacher of love and responsibility for all people. This is the inherited Jewish spirit and inspiration until today.
WHAT DID THE JEWISH PEOPLE ENDURE?
3. Despite Jewish suffering over the ages — from the Italian ghetto, the Spanish Inquisition, the Russian/Ukrainian pogroms, Muslim massacres, the German-afflicted Holocaust, and Palestinian barbarism — Jewish survival demonstrated resilience, pride, and hope for the eternity of Jewish peoplehood.
WHAT IS THE ZIONIST NARRATIVE?
4. After the long exile from their homeland, dispersed and powerless but forged with memory and determination, Jews under the banner of Zionism organized and mobilized for the return home and miraculously reestablished the Jewish state of Israel in 1948.
DID THE WORLD ACCEPT THE JEWISH STATE?
5. The modern Jewish national liberation movement earned recognition from the international community — the League of Nations in 1920 and the United Nations in 1947 — legitimating Israel’s unqualified political sovereignty in the eyes of the powers and nations of the world.
WHAT WAS THE ARAB RESPONSE TO ISRAEL?
6. Arab and Muslim countries violated Israel’s sovereignty and flouted the United Nations Charter by scandalously denigrating the Jewish state, carrying out aggressive assaults over the decades, infiltrating Israel’s borders, and murdering its people, terrorizing its society and threatening to overrun, conquer, and destroy Israel with the purpose to annihilate the Jews and their state. In recent years, Israel was contending with missiles fired from Lebanon, Iran, and Yemen against its civilian population; terrorism in Judea and Samaria, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv; and threats against Israelis and Israeli installations around the world.
WHAT IS ISRAEL’S GEO-STRATEGIC SITUATION?
7. The width of the state of Israel in its pre-1967 borders was a mere 9 miles from the Mediterranean Sea (Netanya) eastward to Bat Hefer. It is to these “Auschwitz borders,” in the words of Israel’s Foreign Minister Abba Eban, that countries demand Israel return to for peacemaking and a so-called two-state solution. The conquest of Judea and Samaria [West Bank] after the Six Day War now provides Israel from the sea to the Jordan River with just an implausible 50 miles in width.
HOW DO ARABS IN ISRAEL RELATE TO THE STATE?
8. Arab citizens in Israel, enjoying rights and opportunities along with Jewish citizens, overwhelmingly reject in principle the state’s Jewish identity, refrain from military service, show solidarity with Israel’s enemies, and participate far beyond their proportion in the population in criminal and illegal activities.
WHAT IS ISLAM’S POSITION TOWARD ISRAEL?
9. The religion of Islam from its founding dedicates itself to holy war (jihad) as a permanent campaign to convert, expel, or destroy the Jews, commanding Muslims to uproot the Israelis from so-called Palestine and assure the superiority and rule of Islam by enforcing Sharia Law as the will of Allah.
WHAT DO ISRAEL AND MINORITY PEOPLES SHARE?
10. Israel is the bastion of inspiration and assistance for minority peoples in the Middle East, such as Kurds, Druze, Kabyle, and Christians. Their common challenge is in facing Islam and Arab peoples as hegemonic forces that smother pluralism and diversity on the ethno-religious regional map. Israel beams a light in their dark skies.
COMMENTARY
Mark Twain (1835-1910) celebrated the immortality of the Jew “exhibiting no decadence and no slowing of his energies.” Winston Churchill (1874-1965) considered the Jews “the most formidable and remarkable race.” These accolades, which characterize the start-up nation in science and technology, medicine, and agriculture, are jarringly divorced from the harsh realities that afflicted Jews and the existential threats and dangers Israel faces.
An especially insightful comment regarding the menace and its ramifications came in a 1968 essay from author Eric Hoffer (1902-83) after Israel successfully extricated itself from the traumatic peril prior to the June 1967 war: “I have a premonition … as it goes with Israel so it will go for all of us. Should Israel perish the Holocaust will be upon us.” These words should resonate thunderously in the West in 2025.
In 1979, Hoffer again linked the past while prophetically peering toward the future:
“A world which did not lift a finger when [Adolf] Hitler was wiping out six million Jewish, men, women and children is now saying that the Jewish state of Israel will not survive if it does not come to terms with the Arabs [and Muslims].
“My feeling is that no one in this universe has the right and the competence to tell Israel what it has to do in order to survive. … It is Israel that can tell us what to do.
“It can tell us [the West] that we shall not survive if we do not cultivate and celebrate courage [and not] bargain with terrorists, court enemies and scorn friends. … The world feels no shame when it betrays Jews. It is as if fate has placed the Jews outside the comity of mankind.”
Europeans and others, in a new political constellation that recalls an earlier one, now set the scene for the murder of the Jewish state by recognizing and establishing a Palestinian state, which is code language and battle plan to bring the Jews to their knees, break their back, and annihilate stage by stage the indefensible shriveled Jewish state.
A De-Christianized Europe would offer the sacrificial Israeli lamb on the altar of pagan enlightenment. Symbolically, Rome succumbing to Mecca will abandon Jerusalem without an ounce of remorse.
LAST WORD
Whatever spurious and acquisitive ambition motivated colonialist Spain to go to Mexico, Portugal to Mozambique, Britain to Kenya, France to Algeria, and the Netherlands to Java — it is not a mystery why the Jews set out and returned to the Land of Israel. They bonded with the land of their ancestors after wandering the globe.
The indigenous sons and daughters of the Land of Israel are not foreigners in a strange land — unlike those mentioned above — but the descendants of the native Hebrew-Israelite-Jewish inhabitants from time immemorial.

Die langersehnte Bildung zum Frieden der Palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde (Aktualisiert im November 2025)
Die im nächsten Monat bevorstehende UN-Debatte soll voranbringen, was weithin als Zweistaatenlösung zum israelisch-palästinensischen Konflikt bekannt ist. In diesem Rahmen soll die Palästinensische Autonomiebehörde (PA) von den meisten westlichen Nationen formell als Staat anerkannt werden.
Israel, Juden und Frieden in Schulbüchern und Lehrerhandbüchern für UNRWA-Schulen in Judäa, Samaria, Ostjerusalem und dem Gazastreifen Von: Dr. Arnon Groiss (März 2024)
Die von der Palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde (PA) herausgegebenen Schulbücher sind in allen Gebieten Judäas, Samarias, des Gazastreifens und Ostjerusalems (in Schulen, die dem Lehrplan der PA folgen) verpflichtend – an staatlichen, privaten und UNRWA-Schulen.
Neues Monitoring-Projekt soll Indoktrination an palästinensischen Schulen aufdecken
Das Center for Near East Policy Research, das über die Plattform Israel Behind The News publiziert, hat einen formellen Antrag zur kontinuierlichen Berichterstattung über das Schulwesen im „Staat Palästina“ für das Schuljahr 2025/26 vorgelegt. Ziel des Projekts ist es, Lehrplaninhalte, Lehrerzugehörigkeiten, Unterrichtsmaterialien und die Umsetzung der Reformversprechen der Palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde zu dokumentieren.
Der Antrag basiert auf zwei Jahrzehnten Forschungs- und Medienarbeit des Zentrums und affiliierter Forscher, die nach Angaben der Organisation seit dem Jahr 2000 palästinensische und UNRWA-Bildungsmaterialien analysieren. Erklärtes Ziel ist es, den Mainstream-Medien und politischen Entscheidungsträgern eine nachhaltige, überprüfbare Berichterstattung über die Realität im Unterricht zu bieten. Die Organisation will Dokumentarfilme, Schulbuchanalysen und Interviews mit Schulleitern, Lehrern und Schulverwaltungen kombinieren.
Der Plan entstand vor dem Hintergrund wiederholter unabhängiger Überprüfungen, die problematische Inhalte in palästinensischen Lehrplänen aufgedeckt haben. Forschungsgruppen wie IMPACT-se haben mehrere Berichte veröffentlicht, die Beispiele für militaristisches und antiisraelisches Material in Schulbüchern und Lehrerhandbüchern dokumentieren. Diese Berichte hinterfragen, inwieweit die angekündigten Reformen dazu beigetragen haben, gewaltverherrlichende oder dämonisierende Botschaften gegenüber Israelis und Juden zu entfernen.
Eine von der EU in Auftrag gegebene und vom Georg-Eckert-Institut geleitete Studie bewertete ebenfalls exemplarisch palästinensische Schulbücher und empfahl die Schaffung einer Grundlage für einen Dialog mit der Palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde. Die Studie stellte Verbesserungen in einigen Bereichen fest, wies aber auch auf anhaltende Bedenken hinsichtlich des Materials, das Friedenserziehung und Toleranz behindern könnte. Der neue Berichtsvorschlag besagt, dass diese unabhängigen Ergebnisse eine genauere, kontinuierliche Prüfung anstelle einer sporadischen Berichterstattung rechtfertigen.
Das Projekt schlägt eine aktive Zusammenarbeit mit Schulleitern, Lehrkräften und Schulverwaltungene vor. Die Ermittler planen, Unterrichtsmedien, Lieder, Gedichte, Kunstwerke und Graffiti zu katalogisieren und festzustellen, ob Mitarbeiter Verbindungen zu terroristischen Organisationen oder bewaffneten Gruppen haben. Die Forscher wollen zudem prüfen, ob die Zusagen der Palästinensischen Autonomiebehörde und internationaler Geber zur Reform der Lehrpläne zu messbaren Veränderungen im Unterricht geführt haben.
Der öffentliche Vorschlag sieht einen arabischsprachigen Korrespondenten, Übersetzer, Pressesprecher und administrative Unterstützung vor. Das Team schlägt monatliche öffentliche Veranstaltungen und ein bescheidenes monatliches Budget vor, um die Berichterstattung vor Ort, die Übersetzung von Dokumenten und die Kontaktaufnahme mit etablierten Medien, die verifizierte Ergebnisse verbreiten können, sicherzustellen. Der Vorschlag verweist außerdem auf eine Bibliothek mit 26 Dokumentarfilmen, die die Gruppe zum palästinensischen Bildungswesen als Hintergrund und Kontext produziert hat.
Befürworter der Initiative argumentieren, dass eine kontinuierliche Berichterstattung notwendig sei, um die Interessen israelischer und jüdischer Gemeinden weltweit zu schützen. Sie sagen, Transparenz darüber, was Kindern beigebracht wird, sei für Spender, Diplomaten und Pädagogen wichtig, die echte Friedenserziehung und Rechenschaftspflicht anstreben. Kritiker weisen darauf hin, dass die Überwachung streng, methodisch fundiert und sensibel für das Risiko sein müsse, Konfliktnarrative mit gezielter Indoktrination zu verwechseln. Unabhängige Organisationen wie IMPACT-se betonen die Notwendigkeit eines evidenzbasierten Engagements bei der Forderung nach Bildungsreformen.
Der Vorschlag fordert Medienpartner und lokale Spender dazu auf, die kontinuierliche Berichterstattung zu unterstützen. Er argumentiert, dass sporadische Studien nicht ausreichen, um die Unterrichtspraxis und die Auswirkungen internationaler Finanzierung zu erfassen. Er zeigt Möglichkeiten für alternative Bildungsmodelle auf und verweist auf Beispiele aus Tunesien, Marokko und Indonesien, die Reformern als Lehren dienen können.
Für Leser aus der jüdischen und pro-israelischen Gemeinschaft bietet die geplante Berichterstattung einen Kanal für verifizierte Informationen über Schulinhalte und das Verhalten von Lehrkräften, die als Grundlage für Lobbyarbeit und diplomatische Öffentlichkeitsarbeit dienen können. Ziel des Projekts ist eine regelmäßige öffentliche Berichterstattung, die Mainstream-Redaktionen nutzen können, um Reformversprechen zu überprüfen und Geldgeber und palästinensische Behörden zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen.

Research and reveal the Qatar system of gratuities to government officials from Israel and abroad

Qatar was largely responsible for the Oct. 7th Massacre
Qatar was largely responsible for the October 7 massacre and the surge of antisemitism that followed.
Qatar fosters Hamas and is aligned with them ideologically and politically as part of the Muslim Brotherhood axis.
From holocaust denial and Jew hatred on state-controlled Aljazeera to demonization and delegitimization of Israel and Jews on campuses; from online campaigns against peace and normalization to fostering Qaradawi’s endorsement of suicide bombings in the name of jihad; from funding anti-Western propaganda to whitewashing the mullah regime in Iran – Qatar is the main reason for the fact that there were hostages to begin with.
Qatar’s hands are stained with the blood of our children, sisters and brothers and elderly who were brutally slaughtered that day – and as they were still burning in the fires set in their homes by your protege on October 7, you chose to issue a condemnation of Israel, not Hamas. You may trick some leaders with your blood stained gas dollars and money crates of PR, but the people of Israel have awakened to your vile poison, and so have many others around the globe.
