Hamas

On Monday afternoon, Hamas issued an ultimatum to Israel.

The Haredi MKs letter is the first open expression of no confidence in Netanyahu, and much less blunt than those issued, reportedly, by Netanyahu's own senior party members.

Everyone demands that Israel protect the right to worship and in the name of the same right it must forbid the prayer of Jews at the most sacred place for Jews in the world.

“The Hamas terrorist organization bears responsibility for everything that is done in the Gaza Strip and emanates from it toward Israel."

Hamas wants the Arab terror focused on Jerusalem, and then they hope, in Judea and Samaria.

Saturday was the third day in a row of incendiary terror from Gaza, the locals' response to the tensions in Judea and Samaria, and the riots in eastern Jerusalem.

“Protesters light rubber tires and throw explosives as they come to the aid of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

“The fields mainly hit were wheat. In addition to limiting the loss of crops, we were also able to save many wildlife animals trapped by fire,” said Eshkol Council Security Officer Ilan Isaacson.

The defense establishment and the police considered whether to impose restrictions on the entry of worshipers to the Temple Mount and decided to allow the prayers.

A drive-by shooting in the Shomron was likely unorganized, though the terror group that runs Gaza is seeking to leverage recent tensions to pressure both the Palestinian Authority and Israel.

The Israel Police and Border Police dispersed rioters in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood after they hurled stones and bottles at them.

Just not Abbas?

"The attack comes as part of the natural response to the crimes of the occupation."

The group, however, says it recognizes “the challenges involved with attempting to integrate Palestinian factions committed to nonviolence and diplomacy with those, like Hamas, that have frequently engaged in violence and terror.”

Hamas is projected to win the elections in Judea and Samaria.

Of course, Israel could call Abass' bluff by designating voting stations for eastern Jerusalem residents who possess PA ID cards.

“We have no future, or state, or self-determination without Jerusalem,” said Mashaal in an interview to Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV on Sunday.

Four people from Sderot were lightly injured after falling while running for shelter during the attacks.

The IDF intends to reinforce the police in Jerusalem and its environs under police command.

Margon is an outspoken critic of authoritarian allies of the United States, and has had a testy relationship with Netanyahu's government as well.

The operation ended without any Israeli casualties, and the wanted terrorist, in his 50s, was taken for questioning by security officials.

He was previously head of the terror organization’s overall political bureau until four years ago, when he was replaced by Ismael Haniyeh.

It is critical that we stand together to demand systemic reform to educational materials ... before one more child is taught from textbooks riddled with hateful lessons,” states a letter to U.S. legislators.

At least two US lawmakers, both Republicans, said they were going to see if the aid package does not violate the Taylor Force Act.

"The hospitals in the Palestinian Authority are filling up with Corona patients, and according to the Minister of Health there, their occupancy has reached 110%."

Sheikh Omar Barghouti was one of three terrorists who murdered an Israeli in 1978. He was captured and spent 27 years in prison until his release as part of the Jibril Deal in 1985.

The Gazan rocket landed near Be'er Sheva during Netanyahu's visit.

Sources claim the decision was the result of a warning by Israel's Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman.

The legislative elections are planned for May 22, presidential for July 31, and Palestinian National Council elections for August 31.

In a rare move, Hamas publicly revealed the composition of the recently-elected Shura Council and members of the organization’s political bureau in the Gaza Strip.
