Hamas involving Palestinian Authority in Gaza
Arab media has published a copy of the agreement between representatives of the Hamas terror group and the Fatah party to which Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas belongs.
The representatives of Hamas and Fatah, considered to be two warring factions, met in Cairo to discuss the creation of a “national” committee to manage Gaza affairs until an alternative government is set up.
According to the document, the committee will operate in accordance with the principles of protecting what is considered “the unity of the Palestinian state lands” and will maintain contact with the “Palestinian government” in Ramallah and continue operating until the reasons for its creation are no longer relevant, general elections are held, or a new agreed-upon plan is made by the decision of the Palestinian Authority chief.
It was also decided that the source of the committee’s authority to manage Gaza affairs will be the “Palestinian government,” which will be formed in accordance with a “presidential order” published by the PA chairman.
The committee will be formed of 10-15 members, and its task will be to provide the necessary services to Gaza residents in coordination with the PA “government” in Ramallah.
It will begin operating immediately after a final agreement is reached by the representatives of the “Palestinian” organizations and a PA order is issued, and will hold negotiations with Israel regarding the border crossings, in accordance with the status quo from before the October 7 massacre.
In addition, an international fund will be set up for the purpose of rebuilding Gaza, and the donating countries will supervise it. The fund will include a representative from the PA treasury and an aide from the aid committee.
Alongside the committee’s head and deputy, the committee will also have individuals responsible for social development and aid, education, health, agriculture, industry, and economy, local government, public jobs and reconstruction, relations with local bodies and organizations, as well as with the international bodies operating in Gaza, and the Crossings Authority. Additional members will be added to the committee as necessary.
Why does Israel allow Hamas to reconstitute?
This week, the IDF announced that it had completed another raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. According to the IDF Spokesman, the hospital served as a “center for Hamas activities in the city.” This is not the first time the IDF has operated at the hospital. At the beginning of the war, the IDF arrested the hospital’s director, Ahmed al-Kahlout, who admitted during interrogation that he was recruited by Hamas nearly 15 years ago and held a rank equivalent to Brigadier General in the organization. He also revealed that the hospital housed offices for senior Hamas political and military officials, cells for holding hostages, and had its ambulances converted for use by Hamas military operatives.
Kamal Adwan Hospital, located at the edge of Jabalia and Beit Lahia, like the Indonesian Hospital – also in Jabalia, was repaired in recent months by several “aid organizations.” A few months ago, we exposed that at the beginning of the war, extensive Hamas activity was discovered at the nearby Indonesian Hospital. The findings there including the discovery of vehicles used in the Oct. 7th attack, vehicles with blood stains from Israeli hostages, and underground infrastructure. The hospital was later renovated by at “aid organization,” Taalouf Al-Khair.
A HaKol HaYehudi investigation uncovered that Taalouf Al-Khair is a Jordanian organization whose members explicitly supported Hamas and have called for war against Israel. The organization also deals with bringing “humanitarian aid” into Gaza.
HaKol HaYehudi’s inquired about whether the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) approved the work by the aid organization, but COGAT has refused to respond. The IDF also carried out a second operation at the Indonesian Hospital after it was repaired. Thus, “aid organizations” belonging to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood’s overall network abroad have repaired medical centers in Gaza that then were used to support Hamas’ military efforts.
HaKol HaYehudi’s investigation revealed that Kamal Adwan Hospital, which served as a “center for Hamas activities in the city,” was recently repaired by an organization from Kuwait through a local affiliate in Gaza. The ‘Jamiat Tamniah Al-Khairiya’ organization from Kuwait published calls at the beginning of the war to support Gaza in its fight against Israel. In pictures from inside the hospital, a large image of the Temple Mount can be seen in the executive offices.
This latest operation represents the third time the IDF has operated in Jabalia, considered a stronghold of Hamas’ military wing. The IDF first operated in the neighborhood about two weeks after the Oct. 7th massacre (October 26th to January 6th) towards the beginning of the war. Prior to the ceasefire and initial hostage release, the IDF operated mainly on the outskirts of Jabalia, and only after the ceasefire ended on December 1st, did activity in Jabalia resume. The IDF raided positions in the neighborhood and on December 16th even raided Kamal Adwan Hospital, which served as a Hamas base. Three days later, the IDF claimed it had “achieved operational control of Jabalia,” and two weeks later it announced that “the dismantling of Hamas’s military framework in northern Gaza was completed.”
In fact, according to estimates, tens of thousands of residents remained in Jabalia and did not evacuate despite IDF calls. These remaining residents served as human shields for Hamas, and limited IDF activity in the area to raids rather than a more thorough clearing of the area. According to the IDF Spokesman, in the first round of fighting in the neighborhood, Hamas’s underground network was hardly damaged.
About 4 months later, the IDF launched another operation in Jabalia (May 11th-31st) where the bodies of seven hostages murdered on Simchat Torah were uncovered. Hamas terrorists fired dozens of anti-tank missiles at the IDF soldiers who arrived this second time, revealing that the terrorists had managed to reorganize. According to the IDF spokesman, the IDF also operated in the Jabalia refugee camp and the Jabalia market, from which Hamas clerics preached. According to a publication by Amir Bohbot, in the second round, the IDF estimated that there was one Hamas battalion in Jabalia, but discovered during the fighting that Hamas actually had about 3 battalions in the city. On May 28th, the IDF announced that Hamas’s military frameworks had been dismantled, and the remaining terrorists in Jabalia were fighting as individuals or in small teams, without a command and control structure. According to the IDF spokesman, during that second round of fighting, 600 terrorists were eliminated and about 12 km of tunnels were destroyed.
About 3 weeks ago, the IDF announced additional activity that began on the eve of the Sukkot holiday, potentially as part of the so-called ‘Generals’ Plan’, which proposes to empty northern Gaza of residents allowing the IDF to operate more aggressively against remaining Hamas terrorists. This latest operation was accompanied by a declaration to evacuate the population, and for the first time, Jabalia was largely emptied of its remaining residents who are largely Hamas-supporters. The remaining residents had been staying in shelters and hospitals renovated by the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated aid organizations, and were serving as human shields for Hamas military operatives in the hospitals.
During the operation, multiple IDF soldiers were killed, including Armored Brigade Commander Ehsan Daqsa, as Hamas had yet again managed to reconstitute in Jabalia. The remaining question is will Jabalia finally be held and controlled this time, or will this operation again prove to be a raid after which Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated aid organizations are allowed to help Hamas reconstitute?

Tel Aviv Court Asked to Reveal ‘Foreign Entity’ Implicated in Oct. 7 Attack
The HaKol HaYehudi news outlet on Wednesday requested that the Tel Aviv District Court reveal the name of a “foreign entity” that has been implicated in the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel.
Attorney Nati Rom, of the Honenu legal aid group that is representing the Israeli website, said the Nov. 21 indictment against Eli Feldstein, a former spokesman in the Prime Minister’s Office and chief suspect in a leaked files case, accuses him of possessing “confidential information about the possible involvement of [censored] in the 7/10/23 incident.”
The State Attorney’s Office previously said in a statement that “these are not names of people or an organization but of a foreign entity.”
Col. (res.) Ronen Cohen, the former director of the Terrorism Desk in the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate, told i24News this week that “when they say that this is not the name of a person or a terrorist group, I believe it is the Palestinian Authority.”
“If this assessment is indeed correct, there was a betrayal there on the part of the internal systems of the Shin Bet and the IDF,” he charged.
“If I am indeed right that it is the P.A., I want to use the word ‘betrayal’ for the first time,” continued Cohen. “Because they did not want to convey to the Prime Minister’s Office and the prime minister that there may be possible involvement of the Palestinian Authority in the massacre.”
Wrote Rom to the Tel Aviv District Court on Wednesday, “The applicant believes that, given the significant public interest in the affair that is the subject of the proceedings, and the concealment of the foreign entity from the eyes of the Israeli public in particular, the court would do well to order the lifting of the censorship so that the public can see who the factor is regarding whom there is information about his possible involvement.”
Alternatively, Rom suggested that the court allow it to be confirmed or denied that the Palestinian Authority was mentioned in the leaked intelligence files that were discovered in Feldstein’s possession.
Jibril Rajoub, a senior official in the P.A.’s ruling Fatah party and a former head of the P.A.’s Preventive Security Force, said last year that Hamas’s massacre of some 1,200 people, mostly Israelis, was carried out “in the context of the defensive war our people are waging.”
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction has praised and celebrated the cross-border terrorist assault, in which also 251 people were taken as hostages and thousands more were wounded.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization closely affiliated with Fatah, has claimed that its members joined Hamas on Oct. 7 and attacked “behind enemy lines” inside the Jewish state.
Die Verwicklung der UNRWA in den Terror

**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFOCOVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE** This footage and these photos show weapons and a drone that were found inside the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City this week, according to Israeli officials. UNRWA, United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, has received strong criticism over its workers alleged links to Hamas. Numerous countries suspended their funding of UNRWA after an Israeli intelligence dossier claimed 12 of its employees were involved in the attack on Israel by Hamas fighters on 7 October. Israeli officials said: Following intelligence indicating that Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists and infrastructure were embedded inside the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City, IDF troo Copyright: xx coverimg53946055
Unwra Sponsoren können zu einem dauerhaften Frieden in Israel damit beitragen indem sie eine UNWRA Friedensinitiative durch Erziehung unterstützen.
Dies sind die Punkte für eine sachliche Grundsatzdiskussion der Ziele der Organisation, die dafür sorgen will, dass palästinensische Kinder und Jugendliche in der Westbank und in Gaza gut erzogen werden und eine vernünftige Ausbildung und dann auch einen guten Beruf erzielen:
- Verabschiedung vom jetzigen UNWRA Lehrplan, aufgebaut auf den Zentralideen von “Jihad” – sprich religiös motivierte Zurückeroberung des gesamten israelischen Gebietes “für Allah der nur Moslime in Israel will”, inklusive freiwilliges Martyrium sowie das “Recht auf Rückkehr nach Israel mit der Gewalt der Waffen” – all dies hat keinen Platz in der UN Erziehungsbehörde dessen Leitideal ist: “Frieden beginnt hier”!
- Entmilitasierung der UNWRA Schulen und Ende aller para-militaeren Trainings für die Schüler da es absurd, ist wenn UNWRA eine Agentur der UN der Vereinten Nationen mit einem offiziellen Auftrag der Friedenserziehung – solche Waffen und Missile Feuer Trainings in der Nähe seiner Schulen und mit seinen Schülern duldet.
- Darauf bestehen dass UNWRA diejenigen seiner Angestellten entlässt, die zu der Hamas, Islamic Jihad, oder Fatah angehören – in Eingklang mit den Gesetzen der Geberländer, welche finanzielle Unterstützung für jegliche Organisation oder Agentur verbieten, die Mitglieder einer terroristischen Vereinigung beschäftigen.
- Die verbindliche Einführung von UNHCR Standards, um die Umsiedlung von “Flüchtlingen” in der 4. Und 5. Generation vom 1948 Krieg vorwärts zu bringen – die 7 Jahrzehnte reduziert auf “Flüchtlingsstatus” verbrachten.
Die momentane UNWRA Politik ist es, dass jegliche feste Ansiedlung der arabischen Flüchtlinge, mit dem “Recht auf Widerkehr” zu den vor 1948 Arabischen Gemeinden in Israel in Widerspruchh gerät.
Indem UNWRA so die Position der arabischen “Maximalisten” annimmt – handelt es gegen seinen eigentlichen Auftrag, nämlich den Flüchtlicngen von 1948 und ihren Nachfahren zu helfen.
- Die Einforderung einer finanziellen Prüfung der Mittel welche von 68 Geberländern an UNWRA fliessen. Eine solche Wirtschafts-Prüfung der Organisation würde die bereits gemeldeten Berichte von verschwendeten Mitteln, Verfielfältigung von Dienstleistungen (“doppelte Buchhaltung”) und eine nicht wünschenswerte, auch illegale Finanzierung von von Terror-Gruppen, die die UNWRA Operationen dominieren, aufdecken.

Institute for Study of War: ‘Ceasefire terms are tantamount to a Hezbollah defeat’
The Insitute for the Study of War (ISW) called the ceasefire in Lebanon that went into effect yesterday (Wednesday) a “defeat” for the Hezbollah terrorist organization, as it did not achieve its goals of forcing Israel to end its military campaign in Gaza or secure an agreement that Israel would no longer carry out military attacks in Lebanon in response to Hezbollah’s attempts to rebuild and rearm.
“This ceasefire and its terms are tantamount to a Hezbollah defeat,” the ISW wrote in a report on the ceasefire. “Hezbollah has abandoned several previously-held ceasefire negotiation positions, reflecting the degree to which IDF military operations have forced Hezbollah to abandon its war aims. Hezbollah initiated its attack campaign targeting Israel in October 2023 to support Hamas, and Hezbollah’s leaders have said repeatedly that it would not end its attacks without a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. This ceasefire does not include an end to Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip. Current Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem has also previously expressed opposition to any stipulations giving Israel freedom of action inside Lebanon.”
“Israel has accomplished its war aim through two months of military operations in Lebanon and this ceasefire. Hezbollah claimed incorrectly that it defeated Israel,” the report said.
It explained that “Israel began its ground campaign in Lebanon to create safe conditions to return Israelis to their homes in northern Israel. IDF operations in Lebanese border towns have eliminated the threat of an October 7-style offensive attack by Hezbollah into northern Israel, and the Israeli air campaign has killed many commanders and destroyed much of Hezbollah’s munition stockpiles. Destroying Hezbollah’s military organization—which is the only military objective that would prevent all attacks into Israel permanently—was never the stated objective of Israeli military operations. A ceasefire deal, however, will prevent attacks into Israel through diplomatic means.”
However, it noted that the ceasefire agreement “contains several elements that will prove difficult to implement,” such as the reliance on the Lebanese army and the UN to prevent Hezbollah from rearming and restoring its military capabilities in southern Lebanon, a task both failed at performing in the 18 years since the 2nd Lebanon War.
“The difficulties in implementing this deal mean that Hezbollah and Iran can recover from this setback if the United States and Israel fail to prevent Hezbollah and Iran from doing so,” it said.
“Netanyahu noted that Israeli operations in Lebanon had ‘pushed [Hezbollah back] decades.’ The group retains fighters, weapons, and political control throughout Lebanon, however. Hezbollah will almost certainly attempt to reoccupy southern Lebanon because Hezbollah’s stated raison d’etre is to end Israel’s control over the Shebaa Farms, which it sees as Israeli-occupied Lebanese territory. The group also supports Iran’s efforts to destroy the Israeli state. Hezbollah will be unable to accomplish this task if it is forced to disarm in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah refused to abide by the last disarmament and withdrawal agreement, and it is unlikely that this war has changed Hezbollah leadership’s willingness to abandon its aspirations for southern Lebanon.” the report stated.

UNRWA policy discussions often waste precious activist energy on the unachievable goal of getting rid of UNRWA – which would require the agreement of a majority of UN members. However, the UN will never vote for a measure that openly favors Israel. Instead, UNRWA policy change must be articulated in terms of universal United Nations values, which stress peace and reconciliation. It cannot be presented as a pro-Israel resolution. The working assumption is that UN members and relief agencies* funding the $1.6 billion UNRWA budget, 58% of which is earmarked for education**, ascribe to UN values of peace and reconciliation. UNRWA policy change must therefore be couched as an UNRWA Peace initiative, for UNRWA to conform to UN values.
Contours of the Updated UNRWA Peace Initiative
- Cancelling the new UNRWA curriculum***, based on Jihad, martyrdom and “right of return by force of arms”, items which have no place in UN education.
- Disarming UNRWA schools****
- Insisting that UNRWA dismiss employees affiliated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Fatah terror organizations,which cannot be afforded any standing in a UN organization.
- Introducing UNHCR standards to advance resettlement of fourth- and fifth-generation refugees from 1948, who have spent seven decades relegated to refugee camps. Current UNRWA policy is that Arab refugee resettlement would interfere with the “right of return” to pre-1948 Arab localities. UNRWA must not be allowed to flaunt its commitment to assist refugees from 1948 and their descendants.
- Demanding an audit of funds from 67 donor nations and 33 relief agencies, to address evidence of wasted resources, duplication of services and cash to terror groups that dominate UNRWA staff.
