Netherlands Bans Entry of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich Over Incitement to Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza The Dutch government has announced a ban on entry to its territory for Israeli Ministers of National Security and Finance, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, in light of the Israeli government's extremist policies. اضافة اعلان According to the Dutch news agency BNO News, Dutch Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot stated on Monday night that her government had declared the two ministers "personae non gratae," adding that their names have been entered into the Schengen system as "unwelcome foreign nationals." She explained that the decision was made due to their repeated incitement of settler violence against Palestinians, their continuous support for the expansion of illegal settlements, and their calls for ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip as part of Israel's genocidal war on the enclave. Last Sunday, the Dutch National Security Agency listed Israel, for the first time, among the countries that pose a threat to the Netherlands. This stance comes amid growing European action against Israel's ongoing violations, particularly with the Netherlands recommending the suspension of Israel's participation in the Horizon Europe research program and the imposition of additional trade restrictions, should Israel be found in violation of its obligations in this regard, according to Dutch Prime Minister Dik Schoof.

At least 22 Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza

Ammon News - 22 Palestinians were killed early Saturday morning, including 12 aid seekers and three women, by Israeli gunfire and shelling across the Gaza Strip. 12 martyrs arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital west of Gaza City from the aid area on the Netzarim axis, according to medical sources. According to the same sources, citizen Hamed Ibrahim Al-Qarnawi, his wife, and his three children were killed when Israeli aircraft targeted their home in the town of Al-Zawayda in the central Gaza Strip. Three citizens from the Samour family were killed and others were injured when a bomb dropped by an Israeli drone hit the tents of displaced people near the Industrial Junction north of Khan Yunis.

Netanyahu prepares plan to encircle Gaza City

Ammon News - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has postponed making a decision on the actions his country's military will take in Gaza if Hamas does not agree to a ceasefire deal, a source familiar with the matter told CNN on Friday. A decision will no longer come this week, the source said. This comes amid internal disagreements in the Israeli government about its preferred course of action in the enclave. One idea on the table, if the militant group does not agree to a deal, is to encircle Gaza City and other population centers, while another is to 'conquer' the city, the source said. Different ministers are in favor of different plans, the source added. On Thursday, a senior Israeli official said that Israel and the United States are forming a new understanding on Gaza, as Hamas reportedly withdrew from ceasefire and hostage deal negotiations. 'At the same time, Israel and the United States will work to increase humanitarian aid, while continuing military operations in Gaza,' the official added. The shift comes as Hamas has disengaged from ceasefire and hostage negotiations, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Hamas' disengagement follows the US and Israel pulling their delegations from talks in Doha, Qatar, with US special envoy Steve Witkoff at the time accusing Hamas of negotiating in bad faith. Despite that move, a senior Israeli official had told CNN they would be prepared to return to Doha if Hamas changed its position. On Thursday, Hamas said it was committed to continuing negotiations toward a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, but conditions in the enclave would first have to improve 'significantly.' The faltering peace talks come amid a catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, where scores of people are starving to death.

FM, UAE counterpart discuss efforts to deliver aid to Gaza

Ammon News - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman Safadi, today, received a phone call from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The two ministers talked about working together to provide humanitarian relief to Gaza during the call. The two sides talked about measures to strengthen efforts to continue delivering humanitarian aid to the Strip in collaboration with other nations through coordinated airdrop operations and land crossings. Yesterday, France, Germany, and Spain joined Jordan and the United Arab Emirates in an assistance airdrop. Safadi and Sheikh Abdullah emphasized that airdrops are not a replacement for ground help and that all crossings must be opened to enable the timely and sufficient entry of humanitarian aid throughout the Gaza Strip. The two ministers underlined the necessity of coordinating all efforts in order to establish an exchange agreement, secure a permanent and immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and guarantee the entry of adequate and sustainable humanitarian aid into the Strip, which is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that has been made worse by Israeli aggression. The two ministers confirmed the depth of the two nations' long-standing fraternal ties, which are headed by His Majesty King Abdullah II and his brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in order to explore new avenues for collaboration across a range of fields.
