Arab League condemns Benjamin Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' remarks
ANI Others
The Arab League has condemned in the strongest terms the statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the annexation of parts of the territories of sovereign Arab states, in preparation for the establishment of what he called "Greater Israel."
The League considered these statements to be a violation of the sovereignty of Arab states and an attempt to undermine security and stability in the region.
In a statement released Tuesday, the League said these remarks represent a serious threat to collective Arab national security and a flagrant challenge to international law and the principles of international legitimacy. The statements also reflect expansionist and aggressive intentions that cannot be accepted or tolerated, and they reveal an extremist mindset steeped in colonial delusions.
Within the same contest, Egypt has condemned the statements raised in some Israeli media regarding the so-called "Greater Israel," while affirming its commitment to establishing peace in the Middle East.
In a statement issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs this evening, Egypt demanded official clarifications regarding these statements due to the indications they carry and that could trigger instability.

‘Legitimisation cell': Israeli army unit falsely branded journalists as Hamas operatives to justify strikes, report says
AP file photo Israel's military assigned a special unit to identify journalists it could portray as undercover Hamas operatives to target them and deflect international criticism over the killing of media persons, according to a report by the Israeli-Palestinian outlet +972 magazine. The 'legitimisation cell' was established in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, to collect information aimed at bolstering Israel's image and reinforcing diplomatic and military backing from key allies, as per the report citing three intelligence sources. The intelligence sources said that the Israeli military regarded the media as an extension of the battlefield, which allowed it to declassify sensitive intelligence for public release. 'There was this phrase, 'that's good for legitimacy,'' one source recalled, as per +972 magazine. 'The goal was simply to find as much material as possible to serve hasbara efforts.' They added that even personnel outside the Legitimisation Cell were instructed to flag any material that could support Israel in the information war. Several 'research teams' had been formed within Israeli military intelligence over the past two years to focus on 'exposing Hamas' lies.' They said the aim was to 'discredit' journalists covering the war on broadcast networks, in allegedly a reliable and precise way,' but those who they alleged were affiliated with Hamas, official security sources were quoted as saying by the magazine. Four Al Jazeera journalists, along with two freelancers, were killed in an Israeli strike last week in Gaza City. Among them was prominent correspondent Anas al-Sharif, who the Israeli military alleged was a Hamas operative 'posed as a journalist.' In October 2024, the military alleged that six Al Jazeera journalists, including Al-Sharif, were operatives, a claim he strongly denied. The Israeli army killed six journalists in a strike on August 10, which it acknowledged was directed at Sharif. Two months earlier, in July, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) had voiced concern for al-Sharif's safety, warning that he was 'targeted by an Israeli military smear campaign, which he believes is a precursor to his assassination,' as cited by +972 magazine. 'If the global media is talking about Israel killing innocent journalists, then immediately there's a push to find one journalist who might not be so innocent, as if that somehow makes killing the other 20 acceptable,' an intelligence source was quoted as saying by the magazine. In at least one instance since the war began, the 'Legitimisation Cell' distorted intelligence to falsely present a journalist as a member of Hamas's military wing, two intelligence sources said.
