You can see them across the Gaza Strip, almost everywhere. Teams of people operating heavy equipment for one purpose: demolition

They aren't part of a regular military unit, but rather small groups that form through independent initiatives. They are civilians, many of them settlers, who are mobilized into the reserves through contracting companies

The goal is to destroy buildings and tunnels, or in the common words of those involved: "to flatten Gaza"

Conversations with many commanders, officers and reservists reveal that the road to implementing their mission is wide open. There's little or no supervision

The army doesn't always know who these people are, they don't take security precautions and, on more than one occasion, they have endangered the lives of soldiers or unarmed Palestinians

Israel's opposition leader Yair Lapid got a phone call this week from an Egyptian official close to President al-Sissi.

"Can you explain to me what's going on over there?" the official asked. "What are you talking about?" Lapid asked

🧵2/6
"What you call the 'Witkoff plan' and what we call the 'Netanyahu plan,' because it was his idea from the very start – the whole idea of a partial deal was all dictated by Netanyahu," the Egyptian answered
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/6
"Witkoff presented it so it wouldn't appear that Hamas was accepting what Netanyahu is demanding"

Israel is providing weapons to a Jihadist group in Gaza affiliated with ISIS, says right-wing opposition lawmaker and former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/4
In an interview with Israel's public broadcaster, Lieberman says that, similar to how Netanyahu propped up Hamas as a counterweight to the Palestinian Authority, he is now helping establish a new armed force as a counterweight to Hamas
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/4
Lieberman: "Israel gave assault rifles and small arms to crime families in Gaza on Netanyahu's orders. I doubt it went through the Security Cabinet. No one can guarantee these weapons won't eventually be turned against Israel"

Palestinian-American analyst Fouad Alkhatib's criticism of pro-Palestinian activism extends to a related, highly sensitive problem in the region itself

🧵2/9
Targeting the NGOs that have literally kept Gaza fed and clothed throughout the years of Israel's closure since Hamas wrested control in 2007
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/9
Instead of lauding their work, Alkhatib calls them the "NGO-industrial complex": An ecosystem that has shouldered the humanitarian burden and some social services, freeing up Hamas to focus on terror

Israeli police had conditioned approval for an anti-war protest this coming Thursday in Tel Aviv on the requirement that "no images of children or babies from Gaza" be displayed, then later backtracked on the move
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/5
According to a document sent on Sunday by police to the Arab-Jewish movement @omdimbeyachad – which is organizing the protest – demonstrators were prohibited from displaying signs, posters or flags that "incite to violent or illegal activity"
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
@omdimbeyachad 🧵3/5
The document, obtained by Haaretz, also forbid participants from displaying "hostage signs" or signs bearing the phrase "genocide"

Netanyahu's spokesperson, Omer Dostri, said in an interview with Israel's Channel 12 News on Saturday night that a deal to return all hostages in one stage cannot be achieved
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/6
"I keep hearing things like 'One deal, bring them back.' At the moment, there can't be one deal since Hamas isn't saying: 'Come get your hostages and that's that,' it's demanding an end to the war," Dostri said in the interview
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/6
The spokesperson added that any statement that claims otherwise is a "spin," and said that "Bringing back everyone will bring back Hamas"

Dismissed Shin Bet security service chief Ronen Bar told the High Court of Justice on Friday that Netanyahu repeatedly demanded that he issue an opinion that the PM could not testify continuously in his corruption trial due to security reasons
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵2/5
In a letter sent to the High Court, Bar said his refusal led to Netanyahu's "lack of trust" in him
haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
🧵3/5
With this statement, Bar confirmed Haaretz's November report that the PMO had asked the Shin Bet to provide a security assessment that would allow Netanyahu to avoid appearing in court for his trial
