Israeli Occupation Army Issues Evacuation Orders for Residents in 4 Areas of Gaza - Jordan News
Israeli Occupation Army Issues Evacuation Orders for Residents in 4 Areas of Gaza On Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army issued evacuation orders for residents of specific neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip, including Beit Hanoun. This comes as Israel resumes airstrikes on the Gaza Strip after a two-month ceasefire. اضافة اعلان The army's spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, shared a map of the areas affected by the orders and wrote in an accompanying statement: "Warning to all residents of the Gaza Strip who are in the area marked in red, specifically in the neighborhoods of Beit Hanoun, Khuza'a, Abasan al-Kabira, and Abasan al-Jadida." He clarified that the designated areas are considered "dangerous combat zones," as the Israeli occupation army has launched a "strong attack against terrorist organizations." The statement continued: "For your safety, evacuate immediately to the designated shelters in western Gaza City and those in Khan Younis." The health authorities in the Gaza Strip announced on Tuesday that the death toll has risen to more than 250 people due to the resumption of Israeli airstrikes, while Israel declared that its military campaign would expand "beyond" airstrikes. Earlier, the health authorities in Gaza reported 254 deaths and over 440 injuries among those admitted to hospitals, adding that there are still victims trapped under rubble, and efforts are ongoing to rescue them. These airstrikes come amid a deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, with electricity and water shortages, closed border crossings, and a blockade on aid deliveries. This follows the end of the first phase of a ceasefire agreement, with no agreement reached on the terms of the second phase or an extension of the ceasefire. The Israeli occupation army announced early Tuesday that it had begun targeting "Hamas-related objectives in Gaza." The army also released pictures of Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi, Shin Bet (Israel's internal security service) Director Ronen Bar, and Air Force Commander Tomer Bar, overseeing "intensive airstrikes on Hamas targets last night from the Air Force operations room." - Agencies

'Israeli' Foreign Minister defends Gaza aid policy
'Israeli' Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar claimed that growing international pressure on Tel Aviv, particularly threats of sanctions by some European countries, would only complicate the political and security landscape. Sa'ar argued that such tactics "will not serve stability," describing punitive measures as "unconstructive." He also defended Israeli Occupation's new system for distributing humanitarian aid in Gaza, saying it was designed to prevent Hamas from benefiting, despite mounting global criticism of the occupation's role in managing the humanitarian crisis. Earlier, Amnesty International urged the global community to reject Israeli Occupatuon's aid distribution plan, accusing Tel Aviv of using it as a tool for control and punishment in Gaza. Amnesty called for immediate international action to stop what it described as a genocide against Palestinians. The organization emphasized that the international community has allowed the humanitarian catastrophe and genocide in Gaza to continue for too long. It stated that the use of starvation as a weapon is a war crime that must end immediately. Amnesty added that, as an occupying power, Israeli Occupation is obligated under international law to ensure the supply of essential goods to the civilian population. It described the shooting of starving Palestinians near an aid distribution point in Rafah as a 'horrific incident' that requires an immediate and independent investigation.

Calls grow in Congress to label Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist group
Calls are intensifying on Capitol Hill to label the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, as some US lawmakers link the group to a recent attack at a pro-"Israel" rally in Colorado. Senator Ted Cruz announced plans to reintroduce a revamped version of the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, saying in a post on X that he has been advocating for it 'my entire Senate career.' In the coming days, I will be circulating and re-introducing a modernized version of the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act, which I have been pushing for my entire Senate career. As I told the Free Beacon, the Muslim Brotherhood used the Biden administration to… — Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 3, 2025 He accused the movement of exploiting the Biden administration 'to consolidate and deepen their influence,' and warned that Republicans can 'no longer afford to avoid the threat they pose to Americans and American national security.' Congressman Jared Moskowitz also weighed in, sending a letter to President Donald Trump urging an official investigation into designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. 'The organisation has a documented history of promoting extremist ideologies and supporting terrorist activities through various affiliates,' Moskowitz wrote, explicitly naming Hamas. I'm urging the President to conduct a comprehensive investigation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Its history of promoting extremist ideologies and terrorist activities through affiliates like Hamas threatens our national & global security. — Congressman Jared Moskowitz (@RepMoskowitz) June 3, 2025 Other right-leaning figures, such as Congressman Randy Fine, have extended these accusations to US-based advocacy groups like the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), claiming they are funded by the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Jewish Insider, Fine described CAIR as the group's 'mouthpiece' in the US and offered to sponsor the Brotherhood designation bill in the House. The push comes after an Egyptian national, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was accused of stabbing multiple people at a pro-"Israel" demonstration in Colorado on June 1. Eight individuals were injured in the attack. Soliman had reportedly shared Facebook posts in support of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's former president and a prominent figure in the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi was ousted in a 2013 military coup and died in 2019 during a court hearing. The incident has reignited far-right rhetoric. Commentator Laura Loomer labeled Soliman a 'Muslim Brotherhood terrorist' and called for sweeping deportations of Muslim immigrants. 'We need mass deportations and an Islamic travel ban ASAP,' she posted on X, blaming Republicans for being 'too afraid of being called 'Islamophobes'.' It's not enough for Republican candidates to simply say 'deport illegals'. They need to explicitly speak out about Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood. We are being killed and maimed by Muslim immigrants because Republicans were too afraid of being called 'Islamophobes'. Now… — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) June 2, 2025 In a swift reaction, the Trump administration announced that Soliman's wife and five children had been taken into ICE custody and could be deported 'as early as tonight.' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Soliman a 'terrorist' and said authorities were investigating whether his family had knowledge of or involvement in the attack. Six One-Way Tickets for Mohamed's Wife and Five Kids. Final Boarding Call Coming Soon. — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 3, 2025 Trump had previously considered banning the Brotherhood during his first term after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's visit to Washington in 2019. While officials from the Pentagon and State Department raised objections at the time, pressure to act may resurface as the 2024 political climate intensifies.

Germany: Recognizing Palestinian state now would send wrong signal
Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul on Thursday voiced strong opposition to unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, warning it would be 'the wrong signal' at this stage, even as several European nations move forward with the step. Speaking at a press conference in Berlin alongside "Israeli" Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, Wadephul reaffirmed Germany's long-standing support for a two-state solution. However, he emphasized that such an outcome must come through direct negotiations between "Israelis" and Palestinians. "Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians must be concluded" before recognition, Wadephul said. His remarks come amid a wave of diplomatic moves in Europe. Last year, Spain, Ireland, and Norway formally recognized a Palestinian state. French President Emmanuel Macron has also signaled France may follow suit as early as June — prompting harsh condemnation from "Israel", which accused Macron of launching a 'crusade against the Jewish state.' Germany, historically one of "Israel's" closest allies due to its responsibility for the Holocaust, has maintained arms sales and political backing for "Israel". But recent comments from Wadephul suggest a more critical stance is emerging, particularly over "Israel's" handling of humanitarian aid to Gaza. Wadephul said 'too little' assistance was reaching civilians in the besieged enclave, where the United Nations has warned of looming famine. He said he had repeated to Saar Germany's 'urgent request to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza' in line with international humanitarian law. Despite these concerns, Wadephul maintained Berlin's continued military support for "Israel". 'Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas and other enemies,' he said, adding, 'therefore Germany will of course continue to support Israel with arms deliveries, that was never in doubt.' However, he also acknowledged that Berlin is reassessing its arms exports. Last week, he stated that Germany was reviewing 'whether what is happening in Gaza is in line with international law,' which would influence future weapons sales — a stance that drew criticism from some within his own conservative CDU/CSU alliance, who argued he was wavering in support of "Israel". On the broader regional situation, Wadephul also expressed alarm over rising tensions in the occupied West Bank, denouncing "Israel's" settlement expansion there. "This settlement policy in this form is contrary to international law, it literally blocks the possibility of a two-state solution," he said. His comments follow "Israel's" recent announcement of 22 new settlements and a pledge by Defense Minister Israel Katz to solidify 'a Jewish Israeli state' in the West Bank. In his remarks earlier on Thursday at Berlin's Holocaust memorial, "Israeli" Foreign Minister Saar said "Israel" is 'surrounded by enemies seeking its elimination' and drew a controversial comparison between Hamas and the Nazis, saying 'the only difference between Hamas and the Nazis was their capabilities.' Saar rejected any prospect of Palestinian statehood at this time, warning it would be a reward for Hamas. "A Palestinian state would mean the biggest prize is being offered to the murderers, establishing a new terrorist state in the heart of our homeland," he said. Saar, while placing blame entirely on Hamas, appealed for German backing.
