Gaza is occupied no doubt, by Hamas Jihadists.

🚨🇮🇱An Israeli Diplomatic Source:
“The in-principle approval for the International Stabilization Force (ISF) to enter the Gaza Strip was established as part of President Trump’s 20-Point Plan, which led to the release of all the hostages.
Israel maintains that the IDF will continue to hold the Yellow Line, and there will be no withdrawal whatsoever until Hamas has been completely disarmed and the Gaza Strip has been fully demilitarized.
Today, the Security Cabinet approved granting the ISF immunity under Israel’s Immunities of International Organizations Law. The force will operate in full coordination with the IDF in areas beyond the Yellow Line that are not under IDF control.
In practice, the deployment of any ISF personnel will require the specific approval of the Prime Minister, the Defense Minister, and the Foreign Minister.
The Cabinet also decided that Israel will determine which countries are permitted to contribute forces. Only countries that have a peace agreement with Israel and do not act against the State of Israel or its officials in international forums will be eligible.
At this stage, the plan involves approximately 200 personnel from friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco.”

I can now confirm that Israel formally requested access to the Iran MoU and was denied. A remarkable and highly unusual development between close allies on an issue of such critical national security importance.

Those of you who haven’t been closely following Hebrew media may have missed the biggest story dominating Israel today. Here's a quick breakdown of how it all unfolded:
It began with an investigation into the alleged abuse of a Hamas terrorist detained at an IDF facility at the start of the war. An edited and biased video of the alleged abuse was quickly leaked to Israeli television and spread worldwide, accompanied by accusations that Israeli soldiers were “raping Palestinian prisoners.” (Side note: this is far from the truth, but the story goes much deeper.)
A public outcry led to a formal investigation by the IDF’s deputy advocate general. His findings? He claimed there was “no possible way” to identify the source of the leak, and that the video “did not pose a danger to the State of Israel” despite the enormous damage it caused to Israel’s image and the surge in antisemitism globally.
This conclusion was defended before the Supreme Court and in the Knesset, and even backed by Israel's attorney general, who rebuked critics for questioning how the advocate general’s office could investigate its own case, asking, “How dare you question the professionalism of the investigation?”
The story then vanished from headlines for over a year while the criminal case against the soldiers continued. Then, a routine polygraph test given to an officer serving as the advocate general’s spokeswoman blew the lid off the entire affair.
It turns out that not only was the advocate general herself behind the leak, but she also appointed her own deputy to “investigate” it, conveniently finding no evidence whatsoever. She misled the court, the Knesset, and the public about the entire process.
Worse, it has now emerged that there was a secret WhatsApp group of at least nine IDF officers from her department who all knew the truth about the leak and the cover-up, and chose to remain silent.
Yesterday, Israel’s justice minister informed the attorney general that she is barred from overseeing the case, since she was complicit in the cover-up and obstructed the investigation.
You honestly couldn’t make this up. Those who support the government’s judicial reform now point to this case as the clearest example yet of how deeply entrenched the “deep state” is in Israel’s institutions.
