The Israeli company that constructed the security barrier surrounding the Gaza Strip says it is eager to make Donald Trump’s proposed Mexico border wall a reality, should the Republican candidate win the White House in November. “We’ve done it in the past, and we would definitely want to do it,” Saar Koursh, owner of Magal Security Systems Ltd., told Bloomberg last month. “The border business was down, but then came ISIS and the Syrian conflict. The world is changing, and borders are coming back big time.” Koursh noted that in addition to the Gaza barrier, his company has built “smart…

Ahead of a critical municipal election, the political party of “moderate” Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas is soliciting support based on its prolific violence against Israelis. A post appearing on the official Facebook page of Abbas’ Fatah faction listed its most cherished achievements, chief among them its claim to have killed 11,000 Israelis. The list, which was translated by Palestinian Media Watch, went on to note that Fatah instigated both of the Palestinian terrorist uprisings against Israel (the First and Second intifadas). It is widely reported that Fatah is concerned about losing to Hamas in several key “West Bank” municipalities in…
In a video address, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the Palestinian terror group Hamas for stealing millions of dollars in international aid slated for the people of Gaza. “I, the Prime Minister of Israel, care more about Palestinians than their own leaders do,” Netanyahu said in a video address posted on his Facebook page on Thursday. “Israel cares more about Palestinians than their own leaders do,” Netanyahu added. Netanyahu’s remarks focused on the recent reports of Hamas operatives who worked inside the Gaza humanitarian aid organizations World Vision and the United Nations Development Program to funnel millions of dollars…
A Palestinian who offered assistance at the scene of a July 1 terrorist attack in Israel, in which a rabbi was killed, has been dismissed from his public service job in the Palestinian Authority. J., whose full name has not been made public, was the first of two Palestinians who provided assistance to Rabbi Michael Mark, who was shot by Palestinian terrorists while driving on Route 60, an intercity road across Israel, Judea and Samaria between Nazareth in the North and Beersheba in the South. Mark’s wife and one of his daughters were wounded in the attack. The Palestinian man…
If Israeli Jews are such blood-thirsty haters of all things Arab, then why do Palestinian Arabs prefer working for them? Palestinian Authority TV acknowledged as much in recent broadcasts of the program Workers’ Affairs, which were translated by Palestinian Media Watch. A number of Palestinian laborers were interviewed, and openly stated that both pay and work conditions for Arabs are far better with Israeli employers than with fellow Palestinians. “The lack of monitoring of [Palestinian] owners of companies and factories and their exploitation of workers is what has forced people to Israel, to work and build in Israel,” said Qassem…
The International Olympic Committee on Sunday issued a stern warning to the head of the Lebanese delegation to the games over his refusal to share a bus to the opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro with the Israeli team. On Friday, Lebanese delegation head Salim al-Haj Nicola physically prevented Israeli team members from boarding their designated bus. They were ultimately provided with alternate transportation to Maracana Stadium. Nicola was summoned for a hearing by the IOC on Sunday, and was reprimanded for his behavior. IOC heads informed the Israeli delegation of the hearing and said they had made it clear…
After years of using chartered planes for overseas travels, Israel’s leaders may soon get their own Air Force One. Israel Hayom has learned that the government plans to buy a used commercial plane that would be fitted with various communication and defense systems. The cost of the aircraft and the overall refurbishing is estimated at $70 million. According to the plan, the plane will have the necessary technology to allow Israeli leaders to carry out their duties in full while airborne and have room for some 100 people. According to sources familiar with the issue, assuming an Israeli company will…
Israelis, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, were horrified by a video clip posted to the Internet showing a Palestinian father trying to get his 4-year-old son to attack an Israeli soldier in hopes that the soldier would respond with violence and thereby bolster claims that Israelis are violent racists. Instead, the soldier responded with kindness, and the oblivious toddler instead threw stones into the nearby field. The exchange epitomized perfectly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Most Israelis just want peace, while far too many Palestinians have been brainwashed into believing the Jews are enemies that must be violently confronted. The words of…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held his first phone conversation with his British counterpart Prime Minister Theresa May since she took office last month. According to Netanyahu’s office, the two leaders discussed ways to maintain and increase cooperation in a variety of fields, including regional issues and the threat of global terrorism. Netanyahu also wished May luck as she begins her premiership. May became the U.K.’s second female prime minister following the resignation of David Cameron last month after the country’s vote to leave the European Union in late June. May, who formerly served as home secretary, has long been…
The mayor of the largest Druze town on the Golan Heights at the weekend offered scathing criticism of a recent UN Economic and Social Council statement that accused Israel of negatively impacting the living conditions of “occupied” populations. In typical fashion, the UN last month decried what it called the “economic and social repercussions of the [Israeli] occupation on the living conditions of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem and the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan.” Dulan Abu-Saleh, the mayor of Majdal Shams, the largest Druze town in the Golan, called the charge…
