אני רואה שיש כאלה שצריכים לחזור למילון לחיפוש המילה הסתה. כולל כמה עיתונאים ״ימנים״ אכולי רגשי נחיתות מול השמאל. הסתה זה - לקרוא לאנשים לרצוח או לפגוע באדם מסוים או קבוצה מסוימת. מה שהשמאל וקפלן עושה לראש הממשלה , משפחתו , לימין, לחרדים, מתנחלים וכו כבר שנים ללא הפסקה. — Yair Netanyahu🇮🇱 (@YairNetanyahu) April 30, 2025
Yair Netanyahu took to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote in Hebrew, "Something here is suspicious. The Kaplanist left has been frantically trying in recent weeks to cancel Independence Day celebrations and the torch-lighting ceremony."
He added, "I really hope the arson was only carried out by Arabs, without any collaboration from our own people."
Yair later deleted the post and shared a new onetelling people to search the meaning of the word "incitement" in the dictionary.
According to Quds News Network, while the cause of the fire remains unclear, Ehab Jabareen, who is an expert in Israeli affairs, accused Israel of casting the blame for failing to extinguish the ongoing fires. Moreover, he blamed the Jewish National Fund (JNF) for planting trees in an unsuitable climate.
He further stated that it was Israelis who committed arson in hopes of concealing traces of the Palestinian Nakba.
According to the Times of Israel, an individual was recently arrested in East Jerusalem after they were accused of arson.

"Israeli" navy targets Yemen's Hodeidah port
"Israeli" naval forces launched missile strikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port Tuesday, marking the first time "Israel" has directly attacked the Houthis from the sea, according to the Associated Press (AP). The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed that its navy conducted the assault, targeting what it described as Houthi-controlled docks used to transport weapons. 'The port is used to transfer weapons and is a further example of the Houthi terrorist regime's cynical exploitation of civilian infrastructure in order to advance terrorist activities,' the IOF said in a statement. The Houthis acknowledged the attack through their Al-Masirah TV channel but did not provide further details. The strike appears to have hit the port infrastructure crucial for humanitarian aid in Hodeidah, the main lifeline for millions of Yemenis reliant on food and supplies amid years of conflict and famine.

How did world react to 'Israeli' seizure of Madleen in open seas?
Governments, rights groups, and international organizations have condemned Israeli Occupation's seizure of the Madleen, a humanitarian aid ship intercepted in international waters while en route to Gaza. The Madleen, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), was carrying food, medicine, and 12 international activists, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, when 'Israeli' forces boarded it roughly 100 nautical miles from Gaza. A video released by the coalition showed activists with their hands raised as 'Israeli' troops surrounded them. Israeli Occupation's prison service announced earlier Monday it is ready to receive the activists from the Madleen ship. According to Israel Hayom, separate cells have been prepared in Givon Prison in Ramla, following orders by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to ban communication devices, radios, televisions, and any Palestinian symbols. The Madleen is protected by international law and was legally allowed to reach Gaza. The interception has triggered a wave of international criticism and comments: Palestine Hamas denounced the seizure as a 'flagrant violation of international law,' calling for the immediate release of all activists. Rights group Al-Haq stressed that Israeli Occupation had 'no legal authority' to prevent the ship's passage, asserting that access to Palestine is an 'exclusive right of the Palestinian people.' Sweden Sweden's Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said Monday that Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists illegally detained by 'Israeli' forces are not in danger and do not require consular support, according to Swedish media. She added that the activists "bear personal responsibility," as Sweden had long advised against travel to Gaza. Ireland Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris called the Gaza-bound aid ship Madleen a 'powerful symbol' of urgent humanitarian action, criticizing Israeli Occupation's interception of the unarmed vessel. 'The Madleen was an effort to get food and medicine to the starving people of Gaza; an unarmed civilian effort in the midst of devastation and catastrophic humanitarian conditions,' he said. Harris said the attempt to deliver food and medicine to starving Palestinians highlights the global failure to address Gaza's humanitarian crisis and condemned Israeli Occupation's ongoing blockade. Iran A spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry described the operation as 'piracy,' emphasizing that the attack in international waters breaches international law and underscores Israeli Occupation's 'illegal and aggressive behavior.' Turkiye The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the interception, calling it a 'clear violation of international law' and saying it demonstrated that 'Israel is once again acting as a terror state.' The ministry demanded accountability and urged the international community to respond. France President Emmanuel Macron has called for the immediate return of the six French nationals on board. France also demanded access to the detainees for consular protection. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot emphasized that Paris expects full transparency from 'Israeli' authorities. Spain Spain's Foreign Ministry summoned Israeli Occupation's chargé d'affaires in Madrid in protest. Spanish media quoted officials expressing alarm over the detention of Spanish citizen Sergio Toribio and the overall legality of Israeli Occupation's actions in international waters. Australia The Jewish Council of Australia released a statement expressing 'grave concern' for the safety of the activists and called on Canberra to 'urgently intervene' to secure their release and ensure humanitarian efforts to Gaza are respected. United States The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) sharply criticized the 'Israeli' operation, calling it a 'cowardly and illegal attack' and praised the Madleen activists for their courage in trying to deliver aid to Gaza amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. European Parliament The European Parliament's Left group, which includes activist and MEP Rima Hassan, said Israeli Occupation's actions constituted a 'blatant violation of international law.' They accused Israel of attempting to 'starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza' and called for immediate international action. United Nations Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, called for the ship's immediate release. She urged Mediterranean countries to launch their own solidarity missions, saying 'united, they will be unstoppable.'
