‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations. #Iran #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #FascistIntent #MiddleEast #Palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #UNCharter #OIC #ArabUnity #MuslimUnity #StopGenocide #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Occupation #RegionalSecurity #EndApartheid #GlobalCondemnation ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.103~

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

‘We’re Losing The War’ Ex-Shin Bet Chief ADMITS Defeat In Gaza | ‘Only Two-State Plan Can Stop…’

In a dramatic admission, former Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon has warned that despite military gains in Gaza, Israel is ultimately losing the war. In a public statement, Ayalon said, "No matter how many battles we win, we will lose if there's no political solution."

Calling a Palestinian state "Hamas’s worst nightmare," Ayalon urged Israeli leadership to look beyond short-term military victories and invest in long-term political outcomes. His comments come amid growing criticism from Israeli officials and security experts about the government’s handling of the conflict. Ayalon’s voice adds weight to the urgent global calls for a ceasefire and meaningful diplomacy. His stark words have sent shockwaves through Israeli political circles and reignited the debate over the only viable path to peace. #IsraelGazaWar #AmiAyalon #ShinBet #TwoStateSolution #GazaCrisis #IsraelAtWar #MiddleEastConflict #JewishDemocracy #Hamas #IsraeliPolitics #PeaceNow #GazaWarUpdate #SpyChiefSpeaks #MilitaryVsPolitical #CeasefireNow #IsraelLosingWar #IsraeliMilitary #PalestinianState #ZionistDilemma #WarWithoutEnd ~HT.410~ED.194~
