Netanyahu says he feels strong connection to 'vision of Greater Israel'
In a recent interview with 'Israeli' broadcaster i24NEWS, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated he is on a "historic and spiritual mission" for the Jewish people and feels a strong connection to the "vision of Greater Israel". The interview, conducted on Tuesday, occurred as his government was preparing to expand its military operations into the remaining parts of Gaza. During the exchange, interviewer Sharon Gal, a former right-wing member of Knesset, presented Netanyahu with an amulet showing "Greater Israel". When asked if he felt a connection to the vision, Netanyahu replied, "Very much," and described his mission as one of generations. The concept of "Greater Israel" (Eretz Yisrael HaShlema) refers to the historic or desired borders of 'Israel'. While biblical definitions vary, the term is now commonly used by 'Israelis' to refer to the territory of the 'Israel' along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This ideology has been a foundational tenet of Netanyahu's Likud party, which traces its roots to Revisionist Zionism and its founder, Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Netanyahu has consistently opposed the creation of a Palestinian state, a stance he has reiterated publicly. Critics argue that his government's settlement expansion policy is the physical embodiment of the "Greater Israel" vision, creating "facts on the ground" that make a viable Palestinian state impossible. The ongoing war in Gaza is viewed by some as an accelerated attempt to implement this vision, with critics claiming the government's true goal is "maximum land, and minimum Arabs".

Houthis claims drone strikes on four sites in ‘Israel'
The Houthis claimed today attacks on 'Israel' using six drones, targeting what they said is four "vital" sites in Haifa, the Negev, Eilat, and Beersheba, according to a statement. Houthis spokesman said the attacks were in solidarity with the Palestinian people and in response to what he called is the 'genocide and starvation crimes' carried out by the 'Israeli' military in Gaza. The 'Israeli' military reported earlier in a statement shooting one drone off the coast of Eilat, before the sirens were activated. The fate of the five other drones is unknown, with Hebrew media speculating they may fell short before reaching the borders of 'Israel'.

Trolled: Paris air traffic controller broadcasts 'Free Palestine' to ‘Israeli' pilots
A French air traffic controller at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) has been suspended after broadcasting 'Free Palestine' to the crew of an 'Israeli' El Al flight shortly after takeoff on Monday night. The controller, in a breach of protocol, used the airport's communication system to transmit the phrase "Free Palestine" to the pilots. Following the incident, French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarrot announced that the air traffic controller responsible for the broadcast had been suspended from their position. The broadcast has been condemned by El Al as "unprofessional and inappropriate". The airline stated that any "deviation from standard procedures could lead to disaster during takeoff". International aviation protocols mandate that radio frequencies are to be used exclusively for messages necessary for air traffic control or air safety, and expressly forbid "non-operational conversations" with pilots. El Al has confirmed it is in contact with 'Israel's' Civil Aviation Authority, which is coordinating with its French counterparts to address the matter. The incident comes amid a period of heightened tensions between France and 'Israel'. In recent months, 'Israeli' interests in Paris have faced a series of challenges, including French authorities halting visa renewals for El Al security personnel, an incident where pro-Palestinian activists vandalized El Al's offices with red paint, and organizers at the Paris Air Show shutting down the 'Israeli' pavilion.
