Esto es lo que Israel responderá a la Corte Penal Internacional

Enlace Judío – Israel dirá a la Corte Penal Internacional que no tiene autoridad para investigar la presunta comisión de crímenes de guerra por israelíes y terroristas palestinos.

En su respuesta formal a la decisión del tribunal con sede en La Haya, Israel sostendrá que no cooperará en forma alguna con la investigación, según un comunicado emitido este jueves por la Oficina del Primer Ministro.

“En la carta, también se notará que Israel rechaza completamente las afirmaciones de que está cometiendo crímenes de guerra”, dijo el comunicado.

La Oficina del Primer Ministro dijo que la postura de Israel ha sido dada a conocer a la Corte Penal Internacional por “países centrales y expertos de renombre

The ministerial committee for military acquisitions signed off on the purchase of another squadron’s worth of F-35 fighter jets, as well as four Boeing KC-46 refueling planes and advanced missiles and bombs on Tuesday, following government approval last week for a contentious funding scheme to pay for the equipment involving massive loans from the United States, the government said.

The approval for the purchases came after some three years of requests from the military for the equipment, which was held up due to political squabbles and fights

Dershowitz’s war for the truth

An interview with professor Alan Dershowitz, one of the most famous criminal lawyers in the world, on the fight of his life. “If you’ve been falsely accused and you have nothing to hide, your life is an open book, you have to fight back, and I'm fighting back.”

(October 12, 2020 / Israel Hayom) A couple of weeks ago, former Israeli Health Ministry Director-General Yoram Lass began his weekly radio show with a resounding apology to American legal scholar Alan Dershowitz. In a conversation with a listener on Sept. 10, Lass had said that Dershowitz “raped girls along with Jeffrey Epstein. He actually raped girls. He’s a rapist, and admitted it himself.” Dershowitz did not hesitate. Within days, he filed a slander lawsuit against Lass and Radio FM103 in the Tel Aviv District Court, seeking NIS 4 million (nearly $1.18

Las biblias sirias que salvó el Mosad

Un juez decide que los pergaminos sefardíes permanezcan en la Biblioteca Nacional de Israel.

JORDI JOAN BAÑOS | ESTAMBUL, CORRESPONSAL EN TURQUÍA

Israel tal vez sea el único país que introduce espías en territorio enemigo para recuperar códices medievales, antes que documentos comprometedores. La rocambolesca historia de las “Coronas de Damasco”, en la que no podía faltar el Mosad, ha dado un giro no exactamente literario. La justicia israelí dictaminó la semana pasada que estas biblias hebreas manuscritas e iluminadas en Sefarad –los reinos de la España medieval– deben permanecer en la Biblioteca Nacional de Israel.

Casi treinta años antes, habían sido sacadas de contrabando en una operación en la que muchos detalles se siguen manteniendo en estricto secreto. Nada habría sido posible sin el rabino de Damasco, Abraham Hamra, que es precisamente

Analysis. Netanyahu's Strategy at Play: Go Into an Election With the Whole World Against Him.

Even Benny Gantz realizes this, and he and Naftali Bennett are each crafting strategies of their own, as Bibi attacks the law enforcement system.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made two big commitments: He signed the agreement concerning conflicts of interests that the attorney general put before him, and he established a reconciliation cabinet. There may not seem to be a connection between the two, but there is, in a big way. In the midst of his glaring conflict of interests, Netanyahu the defendant will keep using all his governmental and political might against the judiciary.

He has never had any intention of fostering “reconciliation” or falling into line with expectations of the top elected official. He only knows how to look out for himself,

The Oslo blood libel is over

From 1994 through 1996, as a captain in the IDF, I served as a member of Israel’s negotiating team with the PLO. Those years were the heyday of the so-called peace process. As the coordinator of negotiations on civil affairs for the Coordinator of Government Activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, I participated in all of the negotiating sessions with the Palestinians that led to a half a dozen or so of agreements, including the Interim or Oslo B agreement from September 28, 1995, which transferred civil and military authorities in Judea and Samaria to the PLO.

Israel's winner take all election

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a revolutionary. Since he entered politics 32 years ago, Netanyahu has upheld an integrated vision for Israel comprised of diplomatic, security and economic components. His vision sees Israel rising as a regional power with a first world market economy preserving and protecting a democratic Jewish nation state.

El partido Likud fijó este miércoles la celebración de elecciones primarias para el próximo 26 de diciembre, lo que reta la continuidad del primer ministro en funciones de Israel, Benjamín Netanyahu, al frente de la formación y de cara a las terceras elecciones, que previsiblemente se convocarán esta medianoche.

Netanyahu wants to stay in office only to annex Jordan Valley, Likud claims

Latest offer from PM’s party would see him leave post to Gantz within six months; minister says it aims to take advantage of ‘rare opportunity’ of tacit US backing for annexation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to serve as premier first in a rotational government with rival party Blue and White for only as long as it takes him to make good on a promise to annex the West Bank’s Jordan Valley, his party said Monday.

Uno de los principales referentes del partido Likud, Gideon Saar, rechazó las aseveraciones del primer ministro en funciones, Benjamín Netanyahu, de que las imputaciones por corrupción que le instruyó el fiscal general Avichai Mandelblit es un intento de golpe de Estado, orquestado por la policía y el aparato judicial para derrocarlo.

Netanyahu califica de intento de golpe de Estado las acusaciones de corrupción contra él

El primer ministro niega haber delinquido y asevera que "continuará liderando Israel".

Diario Judío México - El primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, ha declarado este jueves en un discurso televisivo que las acusaciones de corrupción en su contra equivalen a un golpe de Estado.

“Somos testigos de un intento de golpe de Estado contra el primer ministro con acusaciones falsas y una investigación corrupta y sesgada”, ha aseverado Netanyahu. “Por lo que estoy pasando no es fácil: también soy un ser humano. Mi sangre, la sangre de mi esposa y la sangre de mis hijos se están derramando”, ha señalado.

Several senior Likud lawmakers have reportedly been meeting behind the scenes in a bid to try and oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the attorney general’s explosive Thursday announcement that he will indict the Israeli leader in three corruption cases.

The reign of the prosecutors

In Israel Thursday morning, the politicians were the big story. Israel Beitenu chairman Avigdor Liberman was the villain who had held the country hostage for nearly a year as he fed his narcissistic personality disorder.

The left’s latest flagship, the Blue and White party is all the once vibrant political camp can put together now that it has lost its ideology. With its god of peace killed by suicide bombers and missiles, and its socialism statues crushed under the weight of bankrupt government companies, all the left has left is Blue and White. The party stands on two planks – destroying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and eternalizing the regime of Israel’s unelected bureaucrats.
