Breaking and of UTMOST importance.

Thread

In a move that is likely Netanyahu's greatest "fuck you" to the int'l community, Israel's closest supporters and the prospects of any two-state outcome, the Government of Israel will on Aug. 20 extend statutory approval to E-1.
2/

E-1 has long been considered by virtually all of the int'l community as the "doomsday settlement".

E-1 will dismember the West Bank into 2 cantons, making a viable Palestinians State impossible. It will seal of Jerusalem from the West Bank, preventing a Palestinians capital. Image

3/

Today, Aug. 14 at 10:30 AM Israel's messiah-mongering Finance Minister will do his victory lap at an on site press conference at E-1.

The significance of this cannot be overestimated. It is an attempted premeditated murder of the prospect of any possible political process.
4/

Understanding the devastating impact of E-1, every world leader has cuationed every Israeli PM: "don't dare do E-1. If you do there will be grave consequences".

Every Israeli Prime Minister, Netanyahu included, took these warnings seriously and refrained from building E-1.
5/

Should the Plan be allowed to proceed, it will indicate that there is no red line that Netanyahu will not cross. A defiant, unshackled Netanyahu is arleady flaunting his comtempt for international law and the positions of Israel's allies.
6/

Allowed to proceed, a Netanyahu embroiled in scandal and isolated both domestically and internationally will be simulatenously disgrutleed, defiant and messianic - more dangerous than ever.

This is not the Netanayhu of years past.

And there is only one week to stop him.

Attention has understandably been focused on the ramifications of Israeli annexation of parts of the W. Bank.

As of today the imminent annexation appears less likely. Netanyahu will probably not proceed w/o a green light from Trump & tacit acceptance by Arab States
2/

The danger of annexation has not passed, but it would be beneficial to examine what retaliatory measures Netanyahu would take as an alternative to annexation.

One thing is certain: there WILL be retaliatory measures.
3/

The significant measures under consideration include non-routine diplomartic actions against those who recently recognized Palestinian statehood. The closing of the French Consulate in Jerusalem, unthinkabl under normal cisrcumstances, is being seriously considered.

1. The notorious Gaza Humanitarian Fund's Executive Chairperson, Johnnie Moore Jr. was an aide to the mega-Evangelical Rev. Jerry Falwell and spokesman for the evangelical Liberty U.

He has no experience in humanitarian aid.

He is a close friend of Jared Kushner.
2/

When Rep. of the Quartet, Tony Blair negotiated with Hamas about developing the Gaza field.

His recent dealings are more relevant. In '25, the Tony Blair Institute worked on Gaza w/ the Boston Consulting Group, whose employees expedited the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Fund.
3/

Boston Consulting Group's role in GHF is unclear, but their role was so murky that BCG found it necessary to dissociate itself from Gaza Humanitarian Fund. Image

For those tempted to follow the leaks and spin coming from Netanyahu's office, or from Netanyahu himself, i suggest not to bother.

Here's the cheat sheet. Works flawlessly.

Netanyahu will always express support of the cease-fire/hostage deal not currently on the table.
2/

Witkoff/the Qataris/the Egyptians are brokering a phased agreement implemented in phases?

Netanyahu will support a single comprehensive deal.

Witkoff/the Qataris/the Egyptians are brokering a single comprehensive agreement.

Netanyahu will support partial phased deal.
3/

When forced/cajoled into responding to the proposal currently on the table, Netanyahu will express support accompanied by conditions guaranteed to be rejected by Hamas.

Were this no to consequential it might even be amusing.

The photo was taken in the massive subterranean excavations beneath the homes of Palestinians in occupied Silwan, site of the most notorious of East Jerusalem's Biblically motivated settlements.
2/

Silwan is built atop the ancient "City of David". There is nothing sacred about the Roman road in the photo.

However it serves as pretext transforming the Palestinians into extras in this pseudo-Biblical settler pageant.

This crass phenomenon was best described by the late Meron Ben Venus ז"ל, widely acknowledged as on of the finest geographical historian of the 2Oth and 21st centuries.

This is not a trivial phenomenon. It is weaponized kitsch. Image

Breaking and important.

Read Senator Chris Van Hollen's appeal relating to Israel's increasingly problematic policies towards Christians and Christian institutions in Jerusalem and the Holy Land.

It's deteriorating.

vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
2/

Senator Van Hollen's message was precipitated by a particularly egregious step taken today by the Jerusalem Municipality.

The Municipality today froze the bank account of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Read that again. It's for real.
3/

A senior Christian cleric in Jerusalem recently told me: Jerusalem is fast becoming a place that is no longer hospitable to Christianity.

This is not an isolated incident. The unique character of Jerusalem is in jeopardy.

A Dire and Urgent Heads-up: the Approval of E-1 will likely be Greenlighted TODAY

Today, August 6, the West Bank Statutory Planning Committee is likely to approve E-1, long dubbed “the doomsday settlement”.

This requires immediate attention & focused, credible engagement.
2/

What is E-1? Since 1996, the E-1 settlement Plan has been pursued by the Government of Israel. The plan will allow for the construction of thousands of residential units in an area of 12.5 sq. kms, located between East Jerusalem and the settlement city of Ma’aleh Adumim. Image
3/

Why is E-1 so problematic? Because of its strategic location, the implementation of E-E-1 would drive a wedge between the northern West Bank of Nablus and Ramallah and the Southern West Bank of Bethlehem and Hebron, with no connection between the two. Image
