UK GOVERNMENT’S Shocking Betrayal: Israel Left Vulnerable as Allies Turn Away
— The UK government is under fire after halting free trade talks with ISRAEL and slapping sanctions on West Bank settlers. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour party has sharply criticized Israel’s military actions against Hamas and demanded a ceasefire in Gaza. Britain, along with France and Canada, is threatening “concrete actions” if Israel does not stop its offensive.
At the same time, British officials say they will hand over territory hosting a key U.S. military base to a foreign nation that never controlled those islands before. The government claims it helps national security, but many see it as putting Western interests at risk.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired back, saying the UK and its allies are rewarding Hamas terrorists while making future attacks more likely. He called on leaders to follow former President Trump’s stance: no peace until hostages are freed, Hamas is disarmed, and Gaza is safe from terror groups.
This move marks a big shift from past Conservative support for Israel. Many right-leaning Brits now worry that Britain’s new path weakens old alliances and gives more power to dangerous enemies in the Middle East.
NETANYAHU’S Fury: Western Leaders Shock Israel With Gaza Demands
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the leaders of the U.K., France, and Canada for pushing Israel to stop its military campaign in Gaza. In a video, Netanyahu said Hamas doesn’t want peace or a Palestinian state — they want to wipe out Israel. He asked why this “simple truth” is ignored by these Western nations.
Netanyahu accused them of rewarding Hamas by calling for a Palestinian state. He pointed out that Gaza has acted as one for 18 years, but instead of peace, Israel got terror — the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
Hamas quickly thanked the U.K., France, and Canada for backing their position against Israel’s actions in Gaza. The group called on other countries to join them in standing up to what it labels “barbaric Zionist aggression.”
The sharp divide shows how far apart world leaders are on how to handle the ongoing conflict — and just how high tensions have become between Israel and some of its oldest allies.
NETANYAHU BLASTS ‘Deep State’ Control In Justice Systems
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized judicial institutions on X, claiming they are manipulated for political agendas. He stated, “In America and Israel, when a strong right-wing leader wins an election, the leftist Deep State weaponizes the justice system to thwart the people’s will.” Netanyahu emphasized unity between right-wing movements in both countries.
Netanyahu’s remarks come amid his ongoing legal battles and conflicts with Israel’s Attorney General and internal security head. He wants to dismiss these officials due to a lack of confidence but faces resistance from entrenched bureaucracies. His comments resonate with conservatives worried about judicial systems being used against leaders like President Trump in the U.S.
Elon Musk, owner of X and billionaire tech entrepreneur, showed support for Netanyahu by replying with a “100” emoji. Musk has previously voiced concerns over government overreach and political weaponization of institutions.
The situation intensifies as Israel’s Attorney General ruled that Netanyahu cannot dismiss Security Agency Director Ronen Bar without prior approval, highlighting broader tensions around his leadership.

NETANYAHU SLAMS Iran’s "Axis Of Evil" After Deadly Attack
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned Iran’s “axis of evil” following a terrorist attack at the West Bank-Jordan border crossing that killed three Israelis. “It’s a hard day. A despicable terrorist murdered three of our citizens in cold blood at the Allenby Bridge,” Netanyahu stated, extending condolences to the victims’ families.
Netanyahu emphasized that Israel is surrounded by a murderous ideology led by Iran. He noted recent attacks where terrorists killed six hostages and three Israeli police officers, stressing that these killers aim to murder all Israelis indiscriminately.
The Israeli military reported that a gunman approached the Allenby Bridge Crossing from Jordan in a truck and opened fire before being killed in a shootout with Israeli security forces. The victims were identified as Israeli civilians, all men in their 50s, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service.
Jordan is investigating the incident, as reported by its state-run Petra News Agency. Meanwhile, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri celebrated the attack and linked it to Israel’s offensive in Gaza, stating they expect more similar actions.
ISRAEL WARNS of Iranian Aggression Amid US Cease-Fire Talks
— Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that “Iran’s aggression has reached an all-time high” during a meeting with U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown on Monday. Gallant emphasized the need for cooperation to counter threats from Iran-backed Hamas and Hezbollah, highlighting Israel’s strategic position. The meeting also included IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi and took place in Tel Aviv.
Despite U.S.-led efforts to broker a cease-fire deal with Hamas, no agreement has been reached as long as Israeli forces remain in Gaza security corridors. Gallant reiterated Israel’s goals: dismantling Hamas, securing the return of hostages taken on Oct. 7, and improving security along the northern border for community safety.
Since Oct. 7, the conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with Gaza’s Health Ministry claiming around 40,000 Palestinian deaths without distinguishing between civilians and terrorists killed by Israeli forces since then have also suffered losses: nearly 700 soldiers and about 1,200 civilians have been killed following Hamas attacks on Israel
UK Government BLASTS ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrants
— The British government has criticized the International Criminal Court (ICC) for seeking arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders. UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the move “deeply unhelpful” during a summit in Vienna, emphasizing that there is no moral equivalence between Israel’s self-defense and Hamas’s terrorism. Sunak’s stance aligns with U.S. President Biden, who labeled the ICC’s action as "outrageous.
Cabinet minister Michael Gove echoed these sentiments, accusing the ICC of double standards by targeting Netanyahu while ignoring Syria’s Bashar al-Assad. Gove argued that this narrative aims to delegitimize Israel by holding it to higher standards than other nations. The British government maintains that the ICC lacks jurisdiction over Israel since it is not a party to the Rome Statute.
However, Labour’s David Lammy supports the ICC’s decision, citing a legal obligation for signatories of the Rome Statute to comply with its orders. Lammy accused Conservatives of undermining international law by criticizing the court. This legalistic approach contrasts sharply with current government lawyers who argue that Palestine is not recognized as a state by many countries, including the UK, thus invalidating any jurisdiction over Israel by the ICC.
ICC WARRANTS for Netanyahu and Gallant Ignite Outrage
— The International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan announced warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, along with three Hamas leaders. Netanyahu condemned the move, calling it a “travesty of justice” and a “vicious smear” aimed at preventing Israel from defending itself. He emphasized that Israel is committed to rescuing hostages and toppling the Hamas regime.
Netanyahu asserted that Israel adheres to international humanitarian law and does not target civilians in Gaza. He criticized the ICC for equating Israeli leaders with Hamas terrorists who use children as human shields. The accusation that Israel is causing starvation in Gaza was also refuted, with Netanyahu noting an increase in food entering Gaza since October 7.
He warned that the ICC warrants would embolden terrorists and play into Hamas’s strategy of violence against Israelis. The move by the ICC has been widely criticized as undermining Israel’s right to self-defense while ignoring the atrocities committed by Hamas.
BIDEN’S SHOCK Move: Sanctions on Israeli Military Could Ignite Tensions
— U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is considering imposing sanctions on the Israel Defense Forces’ battalion “Netzah Yehuda.” This unprecedented move could be announced soon and might heighten existing tensions between the U.S. and Israel, further strained by conflicts in Gaza.
Israeli leaders are firmly against these potential sanctions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pledged to defend Israeli military actions vigorously. “If anyone thinks they can impose sanctions on a unit in the IDF, I will fight it with all my might,” Netanyahu declared.
The Netzah Yehuda battalion has been under fire for alleged human rights violations involving Palestinian civilians. Notably, a 78-year-old Palestinian-American died after being detained by this battalion at a West Bank checkpoint last year, drawing intense international criticism and now possibly leading to U.S. sanctions against them.
This development could mark a significant shift in U.S.-Israel relations, potentially impacting diplomatic ties and military collaborations between the two nations if sanctions are implemented.
NETANYAHU DEFIES Global Outrage, Sets Sights on Rafah Invasion
— Despite international outcry, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to press ahead with plans to invade Rafah, a city in the Gaza Strip. This decision comes in the face of protests from the United States and other world powers.
The Israeli Defense Force is slated to lead this operation as part of broader military initiatives in the region. This move will proceed even if there’s a potential cease-fire agreement with Hamas, Netanyahu’s office confirmed on Friday.
Alongside these invasion plans, an Israeli delegation is preparing for a trip to Doha. Their mission? To negotiate for hostage release. But before they can proceed, they need full consensus from the security cabinet.
The announcement has heightened tensions as Palestinians gather for Ramadan prayers at Al-Farouq Mosque ruins in Rafah — a site ravaged by ongoing conflicts between Israel and militant group Hamas.
Biden WARNED: Israeli Defense Leaders URGE Against Recognizing Palestinian State
— A group of Israeli defense and security leaders have issued a stern warning to President Biden. Their message is clear — do not recognize a Palestinian state. They believe this move could endanger Israel’s existence and indirectly support regimes known for sponsoring terrorism, such as Iran and Russia.
The Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) sent this urgent letter on February 19th. They caution that recognizing Palestine would be interpreted as rewarding violent actions by Hamas, global terrorist organizations, Iran, and other rogue states.
Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of the IDSF, spoke to Fox News Digital about the situation. He stressed that it’s crucial for the U.S., at this juncture, to stand by its key ally in the Middle East and uphold American interests in the region.
In a rare display of consensus on Wednesday, Israel’s Knesset (parliament) unanimously dismissed foreign pressures to single-handedly recognize a Palestinian state.

AMERICAN in Critical Condition After HEZBOLLAH Rocket Attack on Israel
— Retired Gen. Yaakov Amidror, former national security adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, discussed the potential for war between Israel and Hezbollah with Fox News Digital. Hezbollah fired around 50 rockets into northern Israel on Sunday, injuring an American citizen and two Israelis. The American is in critical condition.
Hezbollah has launched over 200 rockets and drones into Israel’s north since last week. Amidror emphasized that while Israel does not expect American troops to fight for them, they need U.S. support in the form of munitions. “We need a constant flow of munitions to allow us to conduct the war,” he said.
When asked if Israel is prepared for a war with Hezbollah, Amidror stated that complete preparation is impossible but affirmed that Israel has enough resources to wage such a war effectively. He noted that more time after the Gaza conflict would improve their situation by allowing restocking of supplies and troop recovery.
Hezbollah’s attacks follow Hamas’ invasion of Israel on October 7, which resulted in nearly 1,200 deaths, including over 30 Americans. The ongoing rocket attacks from Hezbollah have intensified tensions in the region significantly.
