Netanyahu's son blames Arabs for Jerusalem wildfires
ALBAWABA - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, recently sparked controversy on social media after blaming Israel's left and Arabs for the raging wildfires in Jerusalem. Despite sounding confident, his claims were proven baseless.
He accused the left of trying to cancel Israel's Independence Day in cooperation with the Arabs in occupied Palestine. Netanyahu's son blames Arabs for Jerusalem Hills wildfires
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.

'Israel' prepares prison cells for Madleen activists, Spain summons diplomat
Israeli Occupation's chargé d'affaires in Madrid was summoned Monday by the Spanish Foreign Ministry for a formal reprimand, according to Hebrew Channel 7. Earlier today, 'Israeli' forces raided the vessel off the coast of Gaza. The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was carrying international activists aiming to break the ongoing blockade on the Palestinian territory. The coalition reported losing contact with the ship after 'Israeli' soldiers boarded it. Footage from the scene showed 'Israeli' naval boats and low-flying drones circling the vessel. Hebrew media later confirmed all passengers were detained and the ship was towed to Ashdod Port. Israeli Occupation's prison service announced that Givon Prison in Ramla is prepared to receive the activists. According to Israel Hayom, the facility has set up separate cells, following instructions from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to prohibit communication devices, radios, televisions, and any Palestinian symbols.

‘Selfie yacht' jab backfires on 'Israel' as soldiers' posts resurface
Israeli Occupation's attempt to discredit the humanitarian aid flotilla Madleen by calling it a 'selfie yacht' has drawn sharp backlash online, with users accusing the government of hypocrisy and highlighting 'Israeli' soldiers' own social media behavior during the ongoing war on Gaza. 'Israeli' Foreign Ministry had mocked the Madleen, a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid bound for Gaza, by labeling it the 'selfie yacht,' suggesting it was more of a photo opportunity than a serious mission. The Israeli Navy is currently communicating with the 'selfie yacht'. Using an international civilian communication system, the Israeli Navy has instructed the 'selfie yacht' to change its course due to its approach toward a restricted area. — Israel Foreign Ministry (@IsraelMFA) June 8, 2025 That jab quickly sparked a wave of posts pointing out the irony. In one viral post on X, Assal Rad, a fellow at DAWN, responded with a photograph of 'Israeli' soldiers posing for a selfie in front of rubble in Gaza, captioned 'selfie yacht.' 'Selfie yacht' — Assal Rad (@AssalRad) June 9, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, president of ReThinking Foreign Policy, also weighed in, sharing similar images and asking, 'The Israeli government calls the humanitarian flotilla, the Madleen 'the selfie yacht'. So what do we call the Israeli army?' The #Israeli government calls the humanitarian flotilla, the #Madleen"the selfie yacht." So what do we call the Israeli army? — Mitchell Plitnick (@MJPlitnick) June 9, 2025 Since the start of the 'Israeli' ground invasion in late 2023, numerous photos and videos have emerged online showing 'Israeli' soldiers smiling, dancing, or making light of the destruction around them, often with Gaza's ruins as the backdrop. Some clips even show soldiers mocking displaced Palestinians, further fueling outrage over the double standard. Critics argue that Israeli Occupation's attempt to delegitimize peaceful aid missions, while its own soldiers document themselves amid devastation, only reinforces perceptions of indifference and insensitivity toward Palestinian suffering.

Madleen continues voyage towards Gaza despite 'Israeli' threats, says ICBSG chief
Defying threats from 'Israeli' authorities, the humanitarian aid flotilla Madleen is continuing its journey toward the Gaza Strip, carrying a symbolic one-ton shipment of aid in an effort to break the ongoing blockade on the besieged Strip. Zaher Birawi, head of the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG), told Roya that the freedom activists aboard the Madleen, hailing from seven different countries, remain in high spirits and are determined to deliver a message of solidarity and protest against 'Israel's' continued aggression on Gaza. Birawi said that the Madleen is not carrying any weapons, only humanitarian support and a message of hope. He described the 'Israeli' threats against the vessel as a blatant violation of international law, especially since six of the activists on board are French citizens. He added that the committee has issued warnings against any attack or interference with the ship or its passengers, and has successfully launched a global petition in solidarity with the mission, which collected over 1.15 million signatures in just two days. 'This ship is not just transporting aid, it is a cry for justice and a call to the world to act against the Israeli aggression and the unjust blockade imposed on over two million people in Gaza,' Birawi told Roya. He noted that 'Israel' is increasingly sensitive to its global image, which has been further tarnished by its ongoing military actions. Any move against the Madleen, he warned, could negatively impact Tel Aviv's relations with several countries. Birawi suggested that 'Israel' might opt to intercept the ship and redirect it to the port of Ashdod, followed by the deportation of the activists to their respective countries; rather than engaging in direct military escalation.
