Israeli minister announces settlement plans 'to thwart Palestinian state'
Thursday, 14 August 2025 () Far-right Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich made the remarks as he announced approval for 3,401 new homes in the controversial E1 area project in the occupied West Bank.
Israel’s Gaza military operations are triggering a growing diplomatic backlash, with Australia and New Zealand signaling plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the UN this September. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the move aligns with global momentum for a two-state...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing a major political crisis as far-right leaders within his coalition threaten to quit, demanding harsher action against Hamas. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and other right-wing figures have voiced distrust in Netanyahu’s Gaza strategy, calling for the complete destruction of Hamas rather than partial measures. Lawmakers like Zvi Sukkot and Yitzhak Kroizer argue Netanyahu’s approach risks forcing negotiations instead of total victory. With pressure mounting and the Gaza war dragging on, Netanyahu’s grip on power grows increasingly fragile.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to seize Gaza City has sparked fierce internal opposition, with National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi warning it would endanger ten hostages and fail to pressure Hamas. Top officials, including IDF Chief Eyal Zamir and Mossad head David Barnea, reportedly opposed the move, urging a ceasefire for negotiations. Despite warnings, the security cabinet approved the plan, backed by ministers Israel Katz, Ron Dermer, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben Gvir, aiming to weaken Hamas but stopping short of a full Gaza occupation.

Israel estimates $3 billion in economic damage from its 12-day war with Iran, calling it the most extensive destruction in its history. The figure excludes military costs, which could push the total to $12 billion, according to Finance Minister Smotrich. The war disrupted daily life, destroyed key infrastructure, and shuttered businesses. While the Bank of Israel still forecasts 3.5% growth this year, experts warn the conflict's aftermath could slow recovery. A ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Trump ended the fighting after nearly two weeks of missile attacks.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim they have launched hypersonic Palestine-2 missiles at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, boasting of a direct and significant strike. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), however, deny the attack caused any damage, stating the incoming missile was intercepted before impact. The bold claim marks a dramatic escalation in the Houthis’ involvement in the ongoing regional conflict, intensifying tensions between Israel and its adversaries.

In a night of devastation, Israeli forces demolished homes, flattened shops, and arrested over 10 Palestinians in sweeping West Bank raids. The IDF razed buildings in Dar Salah, exploded the Hebron home of an accused Palestinian prisoner, and justified the destruction by citing the lack of permits and alleged Hamas ties. In Qabr Hilweh, children watched their homes reduced to rubble. Families are now left homeless, helpless, and heartbroken.
