Six Palestinian terror suspects from Jenin arrested for trying to build rockets to fire at Israel.
The threat is clear: turning Judea and Samaria into another launchpad for terror. Israel cannot afford to wait for rockets to hit its cities.

COGAT continues to coordinate the entry of special equipment into the Gaza Strip as it ramps up efforts to bring in winterization equipment, in coordination with the international community.
Last week, among other items, the following equipment entered under the safety mechanism in collaboration with the international community:
⛺️ Tents from @GEMmissions, @UNmigration & @UNDP
🩺 Laboratory supplies and equipment for @WHO
⚙️ Incubators and incubator parts for @IMC_Worldwide
💦 Flexible water tanks for @Solidarites_Int
🛢️ Engine oil for @CatholicRelief
Together with UN agencies, international organizations, and donor countries, Israel will continue to facilitate the entry of essential equipment into the Gaza Strip while maintaining necessary safety measures. Humanitarian aid continues to enter the Gaza Strip, preparing the Gazan civilian population for winter and supporting local WASH and medical efforts.
The Israel-Kazakhstan Joint Economic Commission, chaired by Minister Ze'ev Elkin and Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister Zhaslan Madiyev and led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, convened for the tenth time, with the participation of representatives from 12 government ministries.
The Commission is intended to strengthen the strategic and economic partnership between the two countries and to advance cooperation in the fields of energy, artificial intelligence, water technologies, innovation, agriculture, investment and economic cooperation, cyber, critical minerals, science and space, health, standardization and more.
At the conclusion of the Commission, the parties signed the Commission's protocol and a double taxation agreement between the two countries, alongside memoranda of understanding in the fields of artificial intelligence, labor and cyber, and a joint declaration in the field of space.
During the visit, a joint working group on water convened for the first time, led by the Israel Water Authority on the Israeli side. The decision to convene the working group was made during Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's visit to Astana in January 2026.
Israel and Kazakhstan, which has announced its intention to join the Abraham Accords, face similar challenges in the areas of the climate crisis, desertification and water resource management, and share common interests alongside longstanding friendly relations.

Once upon a time, people knew who the villains were.
Today, some in the West have created a fairy tale in which Jihadi Hamas terrorists are the heroes.
But there’s nothing heroic about mass murder, rape, kidnapping, stealing aid, terrorizing civilians, or sacrificing Gaza’s future.
And as long as Hamas remains in power, this story cannot have a happy ending.
Palestinian Hamas is systematically violating the Gaza ceasefire.
Since August 2026, nearly 400 violations, including attempts to attack Israelis, smuggle explosives, and rearm.
Over 800 illegal crossings of the Yellow Line to gather intelligence and plan terror attacks.
Hamas is continuing to destroy Gaza’s future and its chances for peace. Hamas must disarm.
Three years after October 7, over 1,000 Christians from around the world came to the Nova massacre site.
Among them was Pastor Vincent Gonzales, who shared a powerful message about the extraordinary resilience of the Israeli people.
Despite the heartbreak and loss, the spirit of Israel remains unbroken.
Am Yisrael Chai. ✝️🇮🇱❤️

On November 2, 1917, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, paving the way for the restoration of the People of Israel’s sovereignty over the Land of Israel.
It set the stage for the international community to officially recognize Jewish indigenous rights to their ancestral homeland at the San Remo Conference on 25, April 1920, and by the League of Nations on 24, July 1922.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar welcomed Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister, Zhaslan Madiyev, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem.
Minister Madiyev, whose responsibilities include overseeing the development of Kazakhstan’s national artificial intelligence program, is the most senior Kazakh official to visit Israel in the past decade.
His visit follows trips to Kazakhstan by President Isaac Herzog and Foreign Minister Sa’ar during the first half of 2026.
Minister Madiyev is leading a high-level economic delegation of more than 50 senior government officials and representatives of state-owned companies, including deputy ministers and regional governors. The delegation is visiting Israel at the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take part in a meeting of the Israel-Kazakhstan Joint Economic Committee, which will be co-chaired later today by Minister Madiyev and Israeli Minister Ze’ev Elkin.
During their visit, delegation members will also meet with representatives of the Israel Innovation Authority, Israel Space Agency, National AI Directorate and Israel National Cyber Directorate, as well as Israeli companies.

*Foreign Ministry Welcomes 36 New Diplomatic Cadets*
*Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar at the opening ceremony: “The better you communicate, the better diplomats you will be.”*
Thirty-six new cadets, selected from nearly 2,000 applicants, began their training today as part of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ prestigious diplomatic cadet programme.
The programme was officially launched at a ceremony attended by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and senior Ministry officials.
The new class brings together people from a wide range of backgrounds, including a member of a former South Lebanon Army (SLA) family, veterans of elite military units and media professionals.
With an acceptance rate of less than 2%, the programme attracted applicants from across Israeli society. This year’s class includes 19 women and 17 men, ranging in age from 26 to 51, with an average age of 34. Among them are both recent and long-established immigrants from Russia, Ethiopia, the UK, Canada and Venezuela.
Speaking at the ceremony, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar told the cadets:
“Represent Israel with a deep conviction in the justice of our cause. That is at the heart of your mission.
“The better you communicate, the better diplomats you will be. Someone who cannot communicate effectively can never be a good diplomat.
“We are fighting a war not only on the battlefield, but also in the battle for public opinion, against powerful forces. If we cannot tell our own story and make our case, no one else will do it for us.”
Over the next six months, the cadets will undergo intensive training before taking up positions at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem and at Israeli diplomatic missions around the world.

A supermarket in Gaza today.
Fully stocked shelves. Awkward footage for those pushing Palestinian propaganda. 🤔
هذا هو سوبرماركت في غزة هذه الأيام
سيكون من المؤسف اذا لم ينتشر هذا الفيديو على نطاق واسع، ولا يفضح الدعاية الفلسطينية بالكامل..

New Zealand joins the growing list of countries suspending funding to UNRWA.
Another country taking a stand against an agency plagued by terrorist infiltration and ties to jihadi Hamas.
More countries must follow. Terrorism must never be funded under the guise of humanitarian aid.

⛺ As part of preparations for the winter season, more than 85,000 tents have entered the Gaza Strip in recent months, alongside more than 8,000 trucks carrying winter supplies, including clothing, tarpaulins, blankets, and other items.
🚰🏥 In addition, projects in the WASH and healthcare sectors are being advanced, including the drainage of sewage channels, repairs to water and electricity infrastructure, road repairs, and more. As part of these efforts, the entry of a wide range of advanced equipment has recently been approved, including 8 sewage vacuum trucks, 3 mobile clinics, and 7,500 doses of tetanus vaccine.
⛽ As part of the ongoing supply of essential resources to humanitarian facilities, fuel and engine oil continue to be provided regularly under monitoring and oversight mechanisms.
COGAT will continue working in coordination with the @BoardOfPeace, alongside the @UN, international organizations, and donor countries, to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly ahead of the approaching winter season.
The Consulate General of @IsraelAtlanta Georgia entertainment industry delegation made a special visit to Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. Standing with the brave men and women of the boarder police they placed a rose in memory of Sgt. Rose Lubin, Z”L.
Rose, a lone soldier from the Atlanta area, serving in the border police and counter terror unit was off-duty at Kibbutz Sa’ad near the Gaza border on October 7, 2023. When Hamas terrorists attacked, she took up her personal weapon to help defend the kibbutz, secure its gates, and guide survivors fleeing the Nova Music Festival to safety.
On November 6, 2023, at just 20 years old, Rose was fatally stabbed in a terrorist attack while standing guard near Damascus Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City.
May Rose’s memory be a blessing, and may her extraordinary courage, selflessness, and devotion to Israel and its people continue to inspire us all.
Israel’s Ambassador to Somaliland, Michael Lotem, presented his credentials to President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi last week in a historic ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Hargeisa.
The ceremony marks another important step in strengthening relations between Israel and Somaliland, following their mutual recognition on December 26, 2025.
Since then, ties between the two countries have continued to develop. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar made a historic visit to Somaliland in January 2026, while Somaliland opened its embassy in Jerusalem during President Abdullahi’s visit to Israel in June 2026.
Following the presentation of credentials, a cornerstone-laying ceremony was held for Israel’s new embassy in Hargeisa.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said:
“Israel is determined to develop and strengthen its relations with Somaliland.
“The appointment of ambassadors, in accordance with the agreement reached when our countries established mutual recognition, is another important step in deepening the ties between us.”
A year after the ceasefire, Palestinian Hamas still refuses to disarm. It steals aid, intimidates Gazans and plans more attacks on Israel.
Hamas cares more about holding on to its weapons and power than rebuilding people’s lives.
Gaza will never have a real future as long as Hamas holds the people of Gaza hostage.

A disturbing video broadcast by Palestinian television channel Awda TV shows Palestinian Authority security personnel undergoing weapons training, with one segment appearing to feature a photograph of a woman holding a young child being used as a target.
The Palestinian Authority's security services have received international assistance, including American funding, training and equipment, as part of longstanding security cooperation.

La Marcha por la Vida es un movimiento mundial que reúne a judíos y cristianos para honrar la memoria del Holocausto, rendir homenaje a sus sobrevivientes, combatir el antisemitismo y expresar su apoyo a Israel. Tras los ataques del 7 de octubre de 2023 y el aumento del antisemitismo en el mundo, su mensaje es claro: no permanecer indiferentes ante el odio y la incitación.
Hoy participamos en un emotivo encuentro junto a nuestros hermanos cristianos, en el estadio de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, donde 40.000 personas se congregaron para expresar su solidaridad con Israel y decir con una sola voz: ¡Basta de antisemitismo, basta de odio y basta de incitación!

Whether or not the “Jude free zone” sticker was intended to unmask the antisemitic nature of the “Apartheid free zone” sticker, this whole discussion is despicable and shows how normalized antisemitism has become.
There should be absolutely zero tolerance for antisemitism. In any form.

FN organet OCHA har sammanställt statistik över “bosättarvåld”. Den är mer bedräglig än du kan föreställa dig.
I sin genomgång av de 8 333 listade incidenterna av “bosättarvåld” var 95 procent antingen sådana som inte involverade bosättare, inte involverade våld, eller inte ägde rum i Judeen och Samarien.
Av 59 palestinska dödsfall som tillskrevs israeliska civila var 26 fall där palestiniern själv inledde våldet och därefter dödades i självförsvar, och 24 dödades i själva verket av IDF.
Efter att ha räknat bort oidentifierade gärningsmän, pågående fall och till och med en terrorist som dog när han kraschade sin egen bil under flykt, återstod endast ETT fall av en verifierad, oprovocerad dödning utförd av en israelisk civilperson.
OCHA räknade fredliga judiska besök på Tempelberget, skolbarn som besökte arkeologiska platser, trafikolyckor, infrastrukturarbeten och till och med en arabisk arbetare som blev biten av en judiskägd hund som “bosättarvåld”.
1 755 av OCHA:s incidenter byggde på en enda källa. EN ENDA KÄLLA! Ytterligare 565 saknade helt identifierbar källa. DET FANNS ALLTSÅ INGEN KÄLLA ALLS!
Det är dessa siffror som regeringar, journalister och internationella organisationer använder för att framställa Judeen och Samarien som skådeplatsen för en judisk terrorkampanj och för att rättfärdiga repressiva sanktioner mot vanliga israeler.
