(April 14, 2024 / JNS)  Israel’s airspace reopened on Sunday morning following an unprecedented direct attack by Iran during the overnight hours that saw over 300 drones and missiles fired at the Jewish state.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant held an operational situation assessment on Sunday morning with other senior security officials. He praised the coordinated defensive response to the attack, which stopped the

Irving Gatell/ Un dato histórico sobre la Palestina histórica que pocos conocen

Normalmente —supongo que por economía de palabras o conceptos— decimos que Palestina, hasta antes de la creación del estado de Israel, fue provincia de algún imperio, desde el romano hasta el británico. Eso no es del todo exacto. Hay que hacer una precisión importante al respecto.

Fue el emperador Adriano el que decidió cambiar el nombre de toda una región, y llamarla Palestina. Por cuestiones administrativas, la dividió en tres. Palestina I abarcó lo que era, en sus rasgos generales, la antigua Judea; Palestina II, la zona del norte que abarcaba Samaria, Galilea, y una parte de Decápolis; y Palestina III, la zona del sur que se extendía por casi todo lo que es el Neguev, y sus fronteras indefinidas se diluían en el Sinai y en la entrada al desierto de Arabia.

Las cosas no cambiaron mucho cuando el Imperio Romano se dividió, ni tampoco cuando el Imperio Romano de Oriente pasó a ser el Imperio Bizantino.

Israel le pide a Egipto que reciba refugiados a cambio de cancelar su deuda con el Banco Mundial

Israel está tratando de presionar al presidente Al-Sisi para que acepte refugiados de la Franja de Gaza. Netanyahu mantuvo conversaciones con líderes mundiales y les pidió que intentaran convencerlo. En Jerusalén presentaron una nueva propuesta: el Banco Mundial cancelará una gran deuda financiera de El Cairo a cambio de la recepción de desplazados. El presidente egipcio dijo, hace dos semanas, que no aceptaría refugiados: “¡Que sean acogidos en el Néguev!”

Netanyahu calls Ben-Gvir’s Evyatar statement ‘unacceptable’

(June 25, 2023 / JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reprimanded National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Sunday for encouraging Jews to come and settle the unauthorized outpost of Evyatar in Samaria.

Hundreds of Israeli Jews flocked to the outpost immediately following the deadly terrorist attack near Eli on June 20. During a visit to the site on Friday, Ben-Gvir said, “Run to the hills, settle there, we love you.”

Senior Iranian and Egyptian officials held a secret meeting in Oman on June 27, during Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s visit to the sultanate, informed sources tell The Media Line.

“Egypt assured Iran during the meeting that the Negev Summit is not directed against Iran and will not include any military moves against it. The meeting discussed the situation in the Gaza Strip, the Syrian issue, and other files in the Middle East, and opened the door to relations between the two countries,” the

Enlace Judío – El presidente Yitzhak Herzog y el primer ministro Yair Lapid se despidieron este viernes del presidente estadounidense Joe Biden, que concluyó su visita a Israel y se dirigió a Arabia Saudita.

“Hoy es un día histórico. Después de una intensa diplomacia entre bastidores con Arabia Saudita y Estados Unidos, el espacio aéreo saudita ahora estará abierto a las aerolíneas israelíes”, dijo Lapid, de acuerdo con Arutz Sheva.

“Me gustaría agradecer al presidente Biden por su visita aquí en Israel y por su compromiso con un Israel fuerte y una región próspera. Le deseo éxito en Jeddah”.

Lapid agregó que la visita de Biden fue conmovedora para todo el país y elogió su compromiso con la seguridad de Israel.

Archaeologists find ancient mosque in Israel

Archaeologists from the Israel Antiques Authority (IAA) have discovered an ancient mosque in the Negev desert near the city of Rahat in the Southern District of Israel.

Excavations were part of a state-funded project through the Negev Bedouin Development and Settlement Authority, which is building a new neighbourhood in the Bedouin city.

The site dates from 1200-years-ago and represents one of the earliest mosques in the region, a period when a transition was made from Christian to Muslim rule. The mosque contains a square room and a wall facing towards the direction of Mecca, with a half-circle niche that points south.

New Negev Desert communities aim to strengthen Jewish life in Israel’s south

“In my eyes, this is the most important thing this government has done up until now,” said Yishai Merling, head of the Settlement Division of the World Zionist Organization.

(April 19, 2022 / JNS) Israel’s government has approved 13 new communities in the southern Negev region, where the spread of unregulated Bedouin encampments has grown to such dimensions that some Israelis call it a national security threat. The government hopes that the new towns, approved over the last few months, will check illegal Bedouin squatting and strengthen Israeli sovereignty in the region.

El desierto de Judea, un paisaje natural y desértico que está a 1.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar

El famoso desierto de Judea es un lugar natural que va desde las colinas de Judea a 1.000 metros sobre el nivel del mar hacia el oeste. Y llega hasta el Mar Muerto a 400 metros de altura en el este.

Conectado con el desierto de Negev en el sur, el mismo es un desierto árido, con montañas, terrazas y escarpes en vez de poseer dunas de arena. La escarpa final cae hacia el Mar Muerto y el Valle de Jordania.

Iran is beginning to understand the Abraham Accords - analysis

Iran was surprised to see the recent Negev Summit where Israel hosted the foreign ministers of the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Egypt. It is now examining how strong this new alliance might be.

Iran was surprised to see the recent Negev Summit where Israel hosted the foreign ministers of the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Egypt. While Tehran has been shouting about the Abraham Accords since the beginning, accusing Arab states of betraying the Palestinian cause and threatening them against working with Israel, it appears that the Islamic Republic now understands that this new era of peaceful diplomacy is actually happening and it can’t prevent it.

The Negev two-state summit

To block criticism of the new Iran nuclear deal, Blinken’s aim at the summit was to neutralize the Israeli-Arab anti-Iran strategic alliance. And he used the two-state solution to achieve this goal.

(April 3, 2022 / JNS) The “two-state solution” has made a comeback. That’s the main take-home lesson from the Negev Summit last week. The final remarks of the four Arab foreign ministers, and U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken’s remarks at the summit and throughout his visit, make this glaringly obvious. All of Israel’s guests demanded that it be advanced.

The so-called two-state solution has a hundred-year history of uninterrupted failure. In 1920, the League of Nations gave Britain the mandate for Palestine, which they

For Israel, the Negev Summit was all about Iran. For other participants, not so much

Foreign diplomats involved say Tehran wasn’t what brought them to Sde Boker, as each country has its own concerns that justify participation in first-of-its-kind gathering.

Like it did with the recent trilateral meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh between the leaders of Israel, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, Jerusalem sought to frame this week’s expanded forum in Sde Boker as the establishment of a regional front against Iran.

Israel's Bedouin: What is the truth behind the crime-ridden headlines?

There are thousands of Bedouin living in the Negev; their story must extend deeper than crime-ridden headlines. So, who are the Bedouin of the South?

“Nineteen arrested in large brawl at Soroka hospital in Beersheba,” a headline read in November. A fight broke out between two Bedouin families from Rahat, about 20 km. north of Beersheba. The reason it made the news was the location – brawls happen all the time.
