Arab, global backlash follows Netanyahu's ‘Greater Israel' remarks amid escalating Gaza war
Arab and international condemnation intensified on Wednesday over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks linking himself to what he called the 'Greater Israel vision,' as fighting in Gaza escalated and the death toll continued to rise amid warnings of a deepening humanitarian catastrophe. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced Netanyahu's comments as a 'dangerous provocative escalation,' a threat to state sovereignty, and a violation of international law and the UN Charter. Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Sufian Qudah dismissed the remarks as 'futile illusions' that would not undermine Jordan or other Arab states, saying they reflected 'the embattled state of the Israeli government and its international isolation' amid the war on Gaza and the occupied West Bank. He urged urgent international action to stop such incitement, which he warned threatened regional security. According to The Times of Israel, Netanyahu—wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges—told an interviewer he saw himself on a 'historic and spiritual mission' encompassing territory earmarked for a future Palestinian state as well as parts of Jordan and Egypt. In Cairo, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan reiterated their 'absolute rejection' of an Israeli ministerial decision to plan for the occupation of Gaza. In a phone call, the two described the move as an attempt to 'entrench illegal occupation' and perpetuate a 'genocidal war' in violation of international humanitarian law. Abdelatty said Egypt was working with Qatar and the United States to broker a deal for detainee and prisoner exchanges, a ceasefire, and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. On the ground, Gaza's Health Ministry reported 123 deaths and 437 injuries in the past 24 hours, bringing the toll since fighting resumed on March 18 to more than 10,200. Since the war began on October 7, 2023, over 61,700 Palestinians have been killed and 154,500 wounded. The ministry also reported eight new famine-related deaths—including three children—in the past day, bringing the total from hunger and malnutrition to 235, including 106 children. Palestinian media said seven people were killed and 20 wounded when Israeli aircraft targeted aid security personnel in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, the Associated Press cited sources claiming Israel was in talks with South Sudan to take in Palestinians from Gaza as part of a broader Israeli-U.S. displacement plan. The South Sudanese government denied the report as baseless. New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon sharply criticised Netanyahu, saying he had 'lost his mind' and condemning annexation, forced displacement, and the Gaza blockade as 'utterly appalling' and 'completely unacceptable.' Abdelatty's remarks that nothing precluded the deployment of international forces in Gaza—echoed by French President Emmanuel Macron's proposal for a UN-mandated coalition—rekindled debate over postwar governance of the enclave, including a possible Palestinian Authority return and prospects for a broader political settlement. Meanwhile, a Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials on the war and developments in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israeli Channel 12 reported that Tel Aviv was considering sending a senior delegation to Doha later this week to negotiate a comprehensive agreement covering all issues, rather than a partial deal.

Turkish Ambassador Meets Gaza Orphan, Plans Support Initiatives
Nada Mustafa Turkish Ambassador to Egypt Salih Mutlu Şen met with Mahmoud, an orphan from Gaza, and his uncle Mohamed at the ambassador's residence for a casual conversation. The ambassador noted that Mahmoud was unable to attend the solidarity event organized with the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation as he was in Saudi Arabia at the time. 'We fulfilled our duty, albeit a bit late,' the ambassador stated. He added that there are ideas under consideration to provide psychiatric support for the family members. In early September, the ambassador will meet with orphans and vulnerable children to explore opportunities for educational and social support. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Some questions for Avichay Adraee
Avichay Adraee, spokesperson for the Israeli occupation forces, posted on X in the first hours of August 11, addressing a dead Anas al-Sharif in Arabic. 'Anas al-Sharif: Your truth has been unveiled. The documents of Hamas and Jihad which were found in Gaza and which we reveal today do not leave a place for doubt. Anas al-Sharif is active in the military wing of Hamas. You may present yourself as a journalist pained by the pleas of the people of Gaza. But now everyone knows you are a Hamasawy, by belonging and by profession. Everyone knows now that you joined Hamas's East Jabalia Brigade in 2013, and that you were hit in a training incident as part of the brigade in 2017. You were the head of a cell in the field of firing rockets. You were a fighter, I have no idea if you were a good or a bad one, in the elite units of Hamas. All the support statements that will be published by Al Jazeera for you don't matter. Now everyone knows the truth. You, who were supposed to be a journalist from the north of Gaza, have been exposed: Your real job is among the most terrorist, criminal and assaulting movements for the people of Gaza. I am not surprised that you work for a media organization that covers up Hamas's crimes and its use of the people while lying to the world — ayb w ar [disgrace and shame].' Parking one's disdain for the man for a moment, a few questions: Why is he speaking to a dead person his military just killed? What compels him to address the lifeless? Is it guilt, fear, the need to hear himself justify the death? Is he haunted? Would he be able to deliver these accusations face-to-face to an alive Anas? What kind of evidence is this — held up to a supposedly enlightened civilized world? And why is it being circulated in an animated social media world, with Adraee blasting his 'facts' into the void, only to be recycled by his army's mouthpieces, as well as most international media? It betrays even the pretense of professional, credible, Western-style journalism. With this genocide, has Israel given up on posing to the world as the luminous democracy in the midst of the darkness of our jungle that is the Arab World? Or does it need a different spokesperson? Or perhaps there is really no propaganda possible for genocide. Does Adraee's opinion on whether Anas was a good or bad combatant matter, was it part of the decision to kill him? There is a demeaning suggestion in the statement 'I have no idea if he was a good or a bad combatant.' Maybe if he was a bad combatant, he could have been spared being targeted and killed? Is the killing in Gaza a moral punishment or a functional strategy? Or are these two categories collapsed in the scheme of genocide, manifesting in the killing of those who tell the world about it [1]. Is it simply a vulgar slip from Adraee, mobilizing a whole chain of imperial vulgarity in the mainstream media apparatus? Not that imperialism is polite, but in trying to lock itself within some modern boundaries of reason, it seems unable to contain its own vulgarity. Does time matter in military calculus? Adraee admits that Anas is a journalist at the end of his post, and that said military activities are in the past. Is this a retroactive punishment for military activity (for which we have no evidence), or a current punishment for thinking? And if it is a current punishment for thinking, is the plan to keep killing all those who hate Israel? What will be the evidence and the means to justify the killings, in a world brewing Israeli hatred? Why is Adraee concerned with disgrace and shame — ' ayb w ar ' as he put it in Arabic — when he could have simply applauded the bravery of his military for ending the disgraceful and shameful life of Anas? Is it because the way Anas was killed by the Occupation doesn't quite end the disgrace and shame, because essentially, Israel's aerial and technological supremacy are sites of shame, primarily for Adraee and his people, as they fight the land at a distance from the sky? And is there 'evidence' as well against Mohamed Qraiqea, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Elewa, Mohamed al-Khalidi and Mohamed Noufal, the five other journalists who were killed alongside their driver by the airstrike that targeted Anas? Or is it a lack of precision on the part of Israel's supreme aerial and technological capacity that made them collateral damage? And where does more shame lie: in the distant cold killing from above or in the lack of precision? The truth is that these questions may be rhetorical, repetitive and naive. They might be a waste of time, when the coverage needs to continue, as Anas would say. Perhaps they carry a not-so-invested invitation to stop the PR accompanying the killing and just stick to the killing. But more importantly, they signal the mountains of anger. They are also a way to note the shame (my own) and the powerlessness. It is the anger at such direct witnessing of imperial brutality, of its boundlessness and capacity to introduce new frontiers, while still dressing it up in the rational language of evidence and justice. It is the shame of being a journalist, a five-hour drive away from Gaza, and surviving Anas. It is the powerlessness of journalism in the face of the military state. I joined the journalism squads in a moment of danger, that of the second Palestinian intifada, followed by the United States invasion of Iraq. Too colossal for my early introduction to politics, the events demanded to be captured, to be translated. Becoming a journalist was an act of belonging, of being in the midst, of staying. It was an act of understanding the scope of what is happening by giving it a language. Such were the politics of truth in this journalism. It wasn't an aspiration to belong to an aerial category called 'journalism,' where the truth descends from above like bombs. Like its own subject of coverage, the event, and its own channel of mediation, language, the truth was always fragile, chaotic, experiential, constantly unfolding, morphing, shocking, distressing and rarely reassuring. It was personal, full of sedimented histories, and we admit it. The truth about the truth is that it was never ready-made or pre-written. In a temporal horizon, this truth holds a future, unknown, uncertain. Adraee and Israel's truth about Anas, Gaza and Palestine hold no futurity. They are in the captivity of their ready-made truth [2]. It's the doom of repetition in the face of uncertainty. Anas is resting in the powerlessness of death ceasing his journalism, just as we are resting in the powerlessness of our lives as journalists. Perhaps there is a truth there too, a power to this powerlessness: the only journalism possible today is that of Anas and his colleagues broadcasting the genocide from the ground until they themselves are swallowed up by it. They say in the enlightened world that journalism is not a crime. But in ours, especially after Gaza, journalism is not a profession. It's a commitment to an enmeshment of people and land in crisis, the messy here and now where history crashes into the present and its capitulation to power. That's how Anas, Hassan Eslaih, Hossam Shabat, Fatima Hassouna and the rest of the over 240 journalists killed in Gaza did the job. That's what I learn from them. One tries to stick to a hope that a new world must be born to counteract this carnage, a rewriting of civilization from the flaws of our times, or at least of the catalog of journalism, because of all the happy endings we were force fed in popular culture. But this is not a film; it's the reality of living a life unto death. A life unto death holds space for dreamworlds, our own version of a ' Riviera ' in Gaza: a newsroom by the sea for all the surviving journalists, a universal school of journalism in the mainland, a place from which philosophy might begin again. Footnotes: [1] In Sarah Rifky's edit, she responds in the place of Adraee: To me the admission is also a revelation, without moral discernment, where Hannah Arendt's 'banality of evil' meets Achille Mbembe's 'necropolitics,' and death comes from a system that knows nothing, cares nothing, except that it can.
