مليشيا الحوثي الايرانيه التي قتلت شعب اليمن لأكثر من 12 عام تناشد اليوم كلاً من :
- الاتحاد الأوروبي
- مجلس الأمن الدولي
- الجامعه العربيه
- منظمه المؤتمر الإسلامي
- ومنظمات الحقوقيه والانسانيه
إنشاد كل العالم كما صرحت بإيقاف القتل في اليمن ويقولون انهم مستعدون لحوار وطني شامل مع كل اطياف شعب اليمن.
لماذا المناشدة الان
مليشيا الحوثي الايرانيه خسرت اكثر من 39 الف من عناصرها المقاتله في خلال 6 أسابيع فقط — كما ان المليشيا الحوثيه تعاني حاليا من نقص العنصر البشري ومخزونها من السلاح والمقاتلين كون ضربات المملكه العربيه السعوديه وجيش اليمن الوطني كانا اكثر قوه ودقه وفتك من اجل تحرير شعب اليمن الأكثر اضطهاداً.
The Iranian Houthi militia, which has killed the Yemeni people for more than 12 years, is today appealing to each of:
- The European Union
- The International Security Council
- The Arab League
- The Organization of Islamic Conference
- And human rights and humanitarian organizations
To appeal to the entire world, as it has stated, to stop the killing in Yemen, and they say they are ready for a comprehensive national dialogue with all spectrums of the Yemeni people.
WHY THE APPEAL NOW
The Iranian Houthi militia has lost more than 39 thousand of its combat elements in just 6 weeks — and the Houthi militia is currently suffering from a shortage of human resources and its stockpile of weapons and fighters, since the strikes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni National Army were more powerful, precise, and devastating in order to liberate the most oppressed Yemeni people.
And then the IRGC officers there on loan were pulled out recently, because staying is much too dangerous for the Übermenschen that are the Iranians, leaving the Houthis short of brains as well.

[Regnum] A tragicomic story unfolds in Estonia, where Swedish prisoners began arriving in August. The Scandinavian kingdom, whose prisons were overcrowded, agreed to transfer some of the contingent to the Baltic republic for a fee.
But in their new location, the Swedish prisoners (mostly ethnically not Swedish at all)
…all those troublesomely unruly Moslem colonist gangsters…
began to assert their rights. They accuse Estonian prison guards of inadequate amenities and racial discrimination. In response, the Estonians complain that their pensioners live much worse than the "imported" prisoners.
SOMEONE ELSE'S BANDIT IS MORE VALUABLE THAN YOUR OWN PENSIONER
Last year, the Estonian government struck what it thought was a lucrative deal : it agreed to lease 300 cells in the Tartu prison to Sweden for €30.6 million per year.
On June 10, the Estonian parliament approved the agreement by a majority vote, and two weeks later, President Alar Karis also approved it. A protest took place in Tartu on June 28. Opposition politicians were present: Centre Party Secretary General Anneli Ott, Social Democrat Helio Pikhof, and Pro Patria City Council member Sandra Laur.
Laur, who spoke, declared, "The Swedes gave us meatballs and Pippi Longstocking, but they can keep their trash to themselves." One of the organizers of the protest, Marju Unt, warned, "Tartu will not tolerate this. We want our government to repeal this law."
However, the government ignored the demands. The agreement came into force on August 5. Within a month, the first 30 prisoners were transported to Tartu on three separate flights. In September, another 70 prisoners were sent to Estonia, and by the end of the year, the total number in Tartu will reach 200.
By early spring 2027, 600 "tenants" from the kingdom will be in Tartu prison. Sweden, plagued by ethnic gangs made up of migrants from Third World countries, is overjoyed at the opportunity to offload at least some of its prisoners to a country that Stockholm has historically considered its colony.
At first, the Estonian media enthusiastically reported on how comfortable, cozy, and pleasant the "guests" would be in their country.
A mistake. They should instead limit them to hard surfaces, cold showers, gruel with a bit of bacon or fat pork for flavouring, and the occasional visit from the library cart containing a small selection of Estonian romance novels until they learn to become model prisoners.
However, the local press made it impossible to discern who had actually been brought to Tartu, as they persistently referred to the imported criminals as "Swedes."
The journalists were taken to cells equipped with shelves, blinds, and two televisions with headphones, which, according to prison officials, would be able to broadcast Swedish channels. The foreigners were given tablets.
While Estonian prison inmates were previously prohibited from using electricity at night, newcomers were provided with a 24-hour supply. They were given the opportunity to prepare hot drinks during work and school hours, and were also allowed to use nicotine pads and patches.
The prison was equipped with new furniture, and the refrigerators and kitchen utensils were updated. Furthermore, it was revealed that foreigners would be paid three times more for their work than Estonian prisoners.
This reverent attitude toward Islamist bandits
…an apt description…
rejected by Sweden has offended many Estonians. "Swedish prisoners in Estonia will live better than not only local prisoners, but also many pensioners. And this offends the sense of social justice," said opposition parliamentarian Alexander Chaplygin.
Political prisoners, who were imprisoned for their lack of enthusiasm for the local regime and their support for Russia, also found themselves in a worse situation than imported criminals.
One of them, journalist Allan Huntsom, wrote in a letter to the outside world: "Every 'Swede' in an Estonian prison has a 'Polozhnyak' television, a tablet (on which you can talk 24/7), and a lockable box for storing personal belongings (!). By comparison, we have one tablet for every forty people."
THE SWEDISH GENTLEMEN ARE UNHAPPY
However, the "Swedes" hadn't even been in Tartu for a month when they began causing a major scandal. On August 27, the state ombudsman's office paid them a surprise inspection, and the new arrivals filed numerous complaints.
It turns out they perceive the transfer to Estonia as a "double punishment," and "their previous motivation to strive for a law-abiding life has vanished."
What previous motivation?
According to the dissatisfied, Sweden promised them the same or even greater privileges in their new location than in Swedish prisons, but this turned out to be completely untrue.
Their main complaint is that it has become more difficult for them to communicate with their loved ones, as they won't be reimbursed for travel expenses to Estonia. Calls home from Estonia are more expensive than from Sweden. Furthermore, the foreigners say security guards often make "unreasonable demands" and have a poor understanding of English.
Finally, they were disappointed with the standard of amenities in their cells. For example, the "residents" were annoyed that the televisions in their cells were located side by side, whereas in Swedish prisons, televisions are mounted on the wall opposite the sleeping areas, allowing inmates to watch their favorite movies and shows without disturbing each other.
Although prisoners are allowed to use headphones, they are irritated by two different programs being shown simultaneously on adjacent screens. They say this can lead to conflicts.
Some complained that it was unsafe for them to sleep on the upper bunk, as there was no barrier, and the showers had no partitions. Finally, the prisoners were denied the opportunity to meet with the imam or participate in communal prayer.
Prison officials do not deny that prisoners need to satisfy their religious needs, but it is unclear whether it is the Estonian or Swedish side's responsibility to organize meetings with a clergyman.
The next source of discontent among the picky prisoners was the food. In September, they reported to the media that they were forced to eat from tin bowls. Journalists from the Swedish newspaper Expressen spoke with their relatives, who reported that their relatives were shocked by everything about their new home: the guards' weapons, the barbed wire in the prison yard, and the food that "looked like dog bowls."
"They're only given spoons, as nothing but soup or stew is offered," a family member of one of the prisoners complained. The "Swedes" also complain that the same menu is repeated for a whole month, causing them to lose weight.
Estonian officials, for their part, are awkwardly trying to hush up the scandal. They vehemently deny that foreigners in Estonian prisons are living significantly worse than in captivity in their home countries.
"I've visited a Swedish prison myself. In my opinion, the conditions there are quite similar to ours. But Sweden has a lot of prisons, and judging by inmates' feedback, there are newer facilities where the environment is perhaps a little more cozy and comfortable," admitted Tartu Prison Director Merle Ulst.
The official assured that she and her colleagues are carefully reviewing all complaints. And former prison psychologist Silver Myaomaa notes that a change in routine causes significant stress, even if the new conditions are no worse than the previous ones—hence the complaints.
At the same time, discontent is growing among local prisoners, who believe that the conditions of their visiting "colleagues" are much better. Meanwhile, the Estonian judicial system is preparing for an increased workload. Already, handling complaints requires significant court resources, although only about 1.5% are upheld.
"It's more a question of principle: if Swedish prisoners can be given more lenient restrictions, why should Estonians be subject to stricter ones?" asks attorney-at-law Katarina Talumäe.
"WE MAINTAIN AND PAY FOR IT OURSELVES"
And those transferred from Scandinavia are still not letting up. In October, the Swedish newspaper Kriminalvårdsmagasinet published a statement from their Tartu prison claiming they face discrimination based on their skin color, religion, and origin.
They claim they are subject to checks and restrictions that do not apply to white prisoners. The foreigners also complain of poor food, poor hygiene, a lack of activities, and difficulties communicating with loved ones.
They say a prison staff member demanded they refrain from any communication with the press. Ulst called the accusations "false and slanderous." She assured them that "the institution complies with Estonian law and protects the rights of all prisoners."
"The image losses from this whole prison rental business are so great that they have long exceeded the potential profits from this business," Chaplygin believes, generally considering the claims unfounded.
However, in his opinion, there is even a benefit here: now Swedish citizens will think a hundred times before breaking the law, since no one wants to end up in an Estonian prison.
It's quite possible that the new prisoners will continue to terrorize the Baltic republic's authorities with ever-increasing complaints. They have plenty of free time, so why not troll officials and prison administrations? Besides, they might be able to wheedle some concessions out of them. Estonia did itself a disservice by promising to accommodate its "guests" according to "the best European standards," and now they can endlessly hold it to their word, which is exactly what they're doing.
This story has revealed another unfortunate aspect—a financial one. It turns out that housing foreign criminals won't bring Estonia the kind of guaranteed income the government had promised.
In October, news broke that €17.4 million had been allocated from the Estonian government's emergency reserve for next year to cover the costs of renting out prison cells to Swedish prisoners.

[Regnum] Protests have reached Switzerland, traditionally considered one of the most stable, prosperous, and safe countries in Europe. In Zurich and Basel, unauthorized left-wing demonstrations have resulted in clashes with police, arson, and pogroms.
The Swiss did not support the violence and accused law enforcement of being too lenient, but at the same time expressed solidarity with some of the protesters' demands.
The timing of the riots was no coincidence. The protests coincided with Halloween, when the streets are filled with people in costumes and masks. Since 2025, Switzerland has had a federal ban on face coverings in public places.
Violations carry a fine, but the law contains a number of exceptions, particularly for certain cultural traditions and entertainment events, including a popular Western holiday celebrated in late October. This was exploited by the radicals, as it was initially impossible to distinguish them from ordinary revelers in the crowds of celebrants.
In Zurich, it all started out as a Halloween party. On the evening of October 31st, several hundred people gathered on Langstrasse, some wearing masks and costumes. Loud music played, people danced, and set off fireworks.
However, they were soon joined by radicals, and the celebration turned into a pogrom, with participants building barricades from garbage containers, setting cars on fire, smashing shop windows and public transport stops.
"Zurich is on fire," one witness interviewed by 20Minuten described his impressions of what he saw.
Bottles and stones were thrown at the police, and firecrackers were also thrown at them. In response, law enforcement officers were forced to use water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Given the large number of people on the streets due to the celebration, not only the violators but also those who simply happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time were targeted.
Adding to the problem was the fact that, following the high-profile news about mass demonstrations in Europe that have recently dominated the EU news agenda, many began to view such events as entertainment, so they took photos with activists setting off fireworks, burning barricades, and so on. As law enforcement officials later acknowledged, the numerous onlookers and revelers seriously complicated their work.
Protests are truly becoming fashionable, and this only intensifies them, as committed participants are joined by "fellow travelers" who don't always understand the essence of what's happening but are eager to be on camera. In such a situation, the line between demonstration, show, and violence blurs, with the mass participation working in favor of the radicals.
In Basel, the violence was more modest. According to cantonal police, approximately 150 people, mostly very young, took part in the clashes.
The march began peacefully, but then the demonstrators erected barricades from improvised materials and set them on fire, paralyzing vehicular and public traffic in the area. Only law enforcement officers managed to rectify the situation by putting the violators to flight.
Perhaps the common slogan that somehow united what was happening in the two cities was this: "We're fed up—and so are Switzerland." And fed up, as experience has shown, is something everyone has their own way.
The demands were so diverse that it's hard to talk about any unified agenda. They included Israeli crimes in Gaza, climate change and its challenges, the fight "against the police state and its surveillance," and, of course, social inequality and expensive housing.
The tone of the slogans and graffiti left by the demonstrators on the walls was openly aggressive. Participants in the clashes chanted: "All of Zurich hates the police," "Step up the fight," and "Zurich is burning, and we're dancing."
Despite the counteraction, law enforcement officials were criticized for being too lenient. Discontent stemmed from the fact that, after what was quite significant unrest by national standards, only two people were arrested, and from the fact that law enforcement officers did not respond quickly and decisively enough to the violent actions of the offenders, which led to increased damage.
The Swiss People's Party (SVP) has already called for a study to be conducted on the possibility of transferring the city's police force to cantonal control, in order to create a unified body that would consistently ensure law and order. SVP parliamentary group leader Tobias Weidmann stated: "[Zurich] Security Minister Karin Ricart must now take a firm stand."
In response to this proposal, criminologist Dirk Bayer, wishing to highlight the inaction of law enforcement, sarcastically remarked in a conversation with 20Minuten that it is not a question of more severe measures, but simply of the need for consequences as such: identifying those involved, investigating and punishing the guilty.
Equally angered were reports that the unrest could have been prevented altogether. As it turns out, several days before the events, calls for radical protests appeared on the Barrikade platform and social media, accompanied by videos of recent violence on the streets of France.
Under the slogan "The spirit of rebellion is blowing across Europe," potential participants were urged to "plunge Switzerland into chaos." "In every shard of broken shop windows in the city centers we otherwise cannot afford, there is a grain of justice," the published appeals stated.
Despite such frankness, no action was taken to prevent the street violence. "Why weren't the riots stopped early, despite the warnings?" asks SPV member of parliament Nina Fer-Dusel.
Posts calling for resistance were spread by various left-wing radical groups, including accounts with tens of thousands of followers, which ultimately ensured mass participation. Instructions were appropriate: come wearing masks, protective glasses, and gloves.
Despite harsh criticism of the rioters, Swiss society is reluctant to attribute the events solely to the actions of radicals. Many Swiss note that anger cannot justify violence, but they acknowledge that the causes of discontent are quite real.
"They're cutting spending on everything except the military. Housing is becoming increasingly difficult to find, and health insurance premiums are rising annually and have reached unimaginable levels," Geneva-based Socialist Thomas Bruchet said on RTS television. However, it's not just leftists who are complaining, but ordinary citizens as well.
A self-described anti-violence reader of Beobachter magazine put it this way: “Maybe we should talk less about what fears people should have for the future and more about why they can no longer afford the present.”
"Everything gets more expensive every year, sometimes significantly. But middle-class salaries remain stagnant," another commenter agreed.
Professor Christian Stärkle of the University of Lausanne confirms that although the social situation in the country is objectively better than in France, there is a social basis for protests. "In Switzerland, too, there are people who have nothing to lose," he explained in a commentary for Tages-Anzeiger.
The pogroms in Zurich and Basel were not isolated incidents. A wave of demonstrations has swept across France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, and Albania. Everywhere, the demands are similar: affordable housing, decent wages, and investment in education.
"The movement is still in its early stages. But the fact that it has spread to other countries shows that it has the potential to become a global youth movement," says sociology professor Philippe Balsiger of the University of Neuchâtel.
The fact that this wave has now reached one of the quietest and most prosperous places in Europe is a significant symptom. It suggests that even a relatively high standard of living is no longer a guarantee against unrest, and that European radical protest is going far beyond its usual limits.

“Maybe we should talk less about what fears people should have for the future and more about why they can no longer afford the present.”
That is actually the opposite way to sustain a civilization than what works. Yeah, we all have bills to pay. But seed corn, etc.
"Everything gets more expensive every year, sometimes significantly. But middle-class salaries remain stagnant," another commenter agreed.”
Then shrink government spending and lower taxes.

[Regnum] US President Donald Trump declared on November 3 that Europe is falling apart.
"Look at France, look at Europe. Everything is falling apart there," Trump said on Fox News.
He also made the claim that the United States is currently the most respected country in the world.
In August, the US President noted that the two main problems facing the European Union were the migrant crisis and the energy situation. Amid mass protests in France, some of which erupted into riots, Trump called on the country's authorities to immediately close the borders to migrants.
Earlier in January, during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the US President stated that Europe was moving in the wrong direction. He said that certain regions and cities in Europe had become unrecognizable, calling these changes extremely negative. Trump added that, in his view, the main factors harming European countries are the lack of proper control over migration flows, unrestricted imports of goods, and green energy.
In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin, answering a question on the matter, stated that Europe should not be destroyed because it would collapse on its own due to economic problems.
France is entering a new threat era as two groups with relatively little in common — middle-class European leftists on one hand and unassimilated migrants on the other — have successfully coordinated in recent rioting, which will only become more frequent and violent in coming years, warns a top spy.
Only those blinded by incompetence or ideology could have been surprised by recent violence in France, yet even so the new ability of disparate leftist and disaffected groups to coordinate to cause chaos has been impressive, the former head of French CIA or MI6 homologue Pierre Brochand has said.
Brochand, a career diplomat who has been French ambassador to Israel, Hungary, and Portugal, was a junior diplomat in Vietnam in the 1970s including being present for the Fall of Saigon, and led the Directorate General for External Security (DGSE) between 2002 and 2008. Speaking to French newspaper of record Le Figaro last week, the veteran intelligence chief warned that “public order is now constantly challenged by… perpetrators who are in a state of cultural alienation and national disloyalty.”
Noting the emerging dynamic between indigenous French hard-left activists and dispossessed migrants, Brochand said he was among those who had underestimated “the potential for impetus, coordination, and action” on the “extreme and ultra-left” such as “black bloc” Antifa. Such groups have now “emerged as a credible force of subversion in major cities”, he said, noting they had taken on something of a leadership role, coordinating action by other groups that may have little in common otherwise.
The “shock troops” of the left are protesting students and experienced rioters, he said, who remain “for the most part, of middle-class European origin”. Added to that, further, are “young people from the suburbs” — French euphemistic language for unintegrated migrant communities — said Brochand, who noted the “endlessly” repeated, near-ubiquitous emergence of phrases like “wallah” [“I swear by Allah”] in crowd and riot footage of recent weeks.
[Jpost] Israeli defense sources expressed surprise as Trump's claim raises questions about how the two countries would end an aid arrangement that is formally set to run through 2028.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally proposed ending nearly $4 billion in annual American assistance to Israel, US President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... claimed on Tuesday, announcing a potentially consequential shift in US-Israel relations on the morning of the American midterm elections.
In a telephone interview with Fox News' Fox & Friends, Trump said the two leaders had reached an understanding several months ago under which the assistance would end by December 2026. Israel would remain free to purchase American weapons, and could receive additional assistance if necessary.
The hosts repeatedly pressed Trump to clarify whether he was referring to military aid, direct financial assistance, or weapons deliveries. He maintained that the arrangement would come to an end in December, without offering further details.
Trump also outlined the political rationale behind the move, arguing that ending US assistance would deprive Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... of one of their most effective arguments against Republicans, particularly in Michigan, where support for Israel has become a central issue in a fiercely contested Senate race.
But Trump's announcement raises a significant question: What happens to the existing US-Israel military assistance agreement, which commits Washington to providing $38 billion in military aid over the 10-year period ending in 2028?
TRUMP: NETANYAHU BROUGHT UP IDEA OF ENDING AID TO ISRAEL
Eventually, Trump offered his most revealing clarification: Netanyahu, he said, was the one who raised the idea. "Can I be honest with you? He brought it up. He brought it up," Trump said. According to the president, Netanyahu told him: "I think it would be appropriate if we do not receive aid."
The exchange began when one of the Fox & Friends hosts asked Trump about rising antisemitism and the erosion of support for Israel, particularly among younger voters.
The interviewer specifically mentioned Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, who has sharply criticized US military assistance to Israel and made the issue part of his election campaign.
Trump initially emphasized the strength of America’s partnership with the Jewish state.
"Well, first of all, I have a tremendous relationship in terms of partnership with Israel," he said. "We have a tremendous fighting force to keep the Middle East. Like, look at the Middle East. I have total control. We do it. We have a helper, and it’s Israel because, you know, we are the big, they are the small."
Trump then blamed immigration policies under former US president Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... for the spread of antisemitism in the United States, alleging thon the lam numbers of immigrants colonists from the Middle East had brought anti-Jewish hatred into the country.
He offered no evidence establishing the connection he asserted between immigration and antisemitism, and his broader claims about the treatment of Christian and Moslem immigrants colonists under Obama were similarly unsupported in the interview.
Then, almost in passing, he turned to US assistance to Israel.
"Now, as far as paying Israel, Bibi Netanyahu and I have made a deal that we give Israel $4 billion a year, and we made a deal months ago that we’re stopping," Trump said.
He added that the Israelis were comfortable with the arrangement because Israel had become economically successful.
"We won’t be paying Israel anymore," he said, adding that the two sides had already agreed that "by the end of this year we won’t be paying Israel."
Trump stressed that the decision would not mean abandoning Israel. "Now we’ll help Israel if they need it. You know they’ve been a great ally," he said.
'WE GIVE ISRAEL MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE, BUT THEY NO LONGER NEED IT'
"Right, Mr. President. I just want to clarify something you said earlier. When it comes to Israel aid, we understand we’ve cut off aid to Israel. We were giving them $4 billion, and you’re no longer going to be giving them $4 billion."
Trump corrected the tense but confirmed the timeline. "We were giving them $4 billion. We are, but it gets cut off at the end of the year."
"Why?" the host asked. "Why? Because they don’t need it, Brian," Trump responded.
He then connected the issue directly to the political attacks faced by Republicans. "And because why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don’t need it?" he asked.
"It’s a bad talking point because when you say, ’Why don’t we give everybody $4 billion?’ Israel’s our number one. We give them more than anybody else, and they no longer need it."
"We’ve been doing it for years. I’ve been doing it, but Israel is a very thriving country. They don’t need it. If they did need it, I would say keep it going."
’I’m sorry for not knowing this. Do you mean military aid or a check?’
One of the Fox hosts remained uncertain about the scope of the decision and pressed Trump again.
"Can I just ask again? I’m sorry for not knowing this, but do you mean $4 billion in military aid? Actually, hardware is being cut off? Do you mean $4 billion, as in a check?"
Trump’s answer suggested that he was referring broadly to the value of American assistance, without distinguishing between its various components.
"I’m giving four in any way you want to define it. You can consider it barter. You can consider military aid or cash. What we give them, $4 billion of things and money, and they don’t need it."
Trump said that his broader ambition was to balance the federal budget, before moving into a criticism of the Federal Reserve and its interest-rate policies.
He argued that lower interest rates would make it easier for the United States to move toward a balanced budget.
Trump says ending Israel aid would remove Democrats' 'best talking point'
TRUMP EMBRACES THE POLITICAL ARGUMENT: ’THE BEST TALKING POINT’ FOR THE LEFT
Toward the end of the interview, one of the hosts again returned to Israel, this time offering an interpretation of the political logic behind Trump’s announcement.
"Mr. President, just to put the button on this, because I think I understand your thinking on this, the left has used the Israel relationship, our great partnership. They’ve weaponized [it] against all our candidates, and you’re saying we’re still close with Israel, but we’re going to remove this talking point."
Trump enthusiastically embraced that formulation.
"I want to say that it’s great, great word usage. Talking point, the best talking point that these lunatics have on the left."
He argued that opponents of US assistance to Israel had used its annual cost to portray American foreign policy as unfair to domestic taxpayers.
"The left uses the $4 billion payment that everybody knows about, it’s no secret, as a signal of unfairness, and we can’t allow that to happen," Trump said.
"I don’t like that because, you know, it’s too easy. It’s almost too easy a target."
Trump then returned to Michigan, where El-Sayed is running against Republican Mike Rogers in one of the closely watched contests that could determine control of the Senate.
"When you see their rallies, when you see this lunatic that’s running in Michigan, he talks about the money that we pay them all the time," Trump said.
"He says, ’Why are we giving Israel $4 billion?’ You take that off the table. They don’t need it."
The president then claimed that his approval rating in Israel stood at 99%, joking that he might move to Israel and become prime minister if Americans ever grew tired of him.
ISRAEL CAN STILL BUY AMERICAN WEAPONS, TRUMP SAYS
Another crucial question remained: Would the alleged decision to end American assistance also mean stopping weapons sales to Israel?
The Fox hosts raised the issue directly. "Are you giving them the options to buy the weapons from us still?"
Trump answered without hesitation. "Oh yeah, they can buy whatever they want. They can buy whatever they want. So can Europe."
He then praised the US defense industry, saying American manufacturers were building new production facilities for Tomahawk missiles, Patriot air-defense systems, THAAD interceptors, and other advanced military equipment.
According to Trump, companies including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon were expanding production capacity in response to his administration’s demands.
The distinction he drew is significant.
Trump was describing an end to the annual assistance package, not a termination of defense cooperation or a prohibition on Israeli purchases of American military equipment.
Whether that distinction can be implemented as presented, and how it would affect existing weapons procurement contracts, remains unclear.
EXISTING US-ISRAEL AID AGREEMENT RUNS THROUGH 2028
Trump’s announcement raises substantial questions because the current framework for US military assistance to Israel is governed by a 10-year memorandum of understanding signed in 2016 under the B.O. regime.
The agreement covers fiscal years 2019 through 2028 and provides for $38 billion in military assistance over the decade.
Under its terms, Israel is expected to receive $3.3 billion annually in Foreign Military Financing and another $500 million per year for cooperative missile-defense programs.
That amounts to $3.8 billion annually, the figure Trump rounded to $4 billion.
The memorandum is not itself a legally binding treaty, and annual funding remains subject to congressional appropriations. An understanding between Trump and Netanyahu would therefore not, by itself, automatically cancel funding already authorized and appropriated by Congress.
It is also unclear whether the president was referring to the entire assistance framework, including the joint missile-defense programs, or whether some components would continue under separate arrangements.
No detailed implementation plan was presented during the interview.
Nevertheless, Trump’s claims did not emerge entirely without precedent.
In January, Netanyahu told The Economist that he wanted to phase out US military assistance to Israel over a decade.
He reiterated that ambition in a May interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, arguing that Israel had matured economically and technologically and should move from an aid-based relationship toward a partnership.
"I want to taper off American support for Israel to zero," Netanyahu said at the time.
He added: "We’ve come of age."
The distinction between those earlier remarks and Trump’s announcement on Tuesday is substantial.
Netanyahu had previously discussed a gradual transition over approximately 10 years. Trump now claims they agreed to terminate annual assistance by the end of 2026, just weeks away.
That dramatically accelerated timetable has not yet been independently confirmed by the Israeli government.
MICHIGAN’S POLITICAL TEST: HAS ISRAEL BECOME AN ELECTORAL LIABILITY?
The timing of Trump’s revelation is especially significant.
Americans are voting Tuesday in midterm elections in which Republicans are fighting to retain control of both chambers of Congress.
One of the key contests is in Michigan, where Republican Mike Rogers faces Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed for the Senate seat being vacated by Gary Peters.
El-Sayed has been an outspoken critic of Israel’s military campaign in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , which he has described as genocide, an allegation Israel rejects.
He has also called for restrictions on US military assistance to Israel, and the issue has become a major source of controversy within Michigan’s Democratic Party.
Over the weekend, Democratic Representative Haley Stevens, who lost the party’s Senate primary to El-Sayed, announced that she would support Rogers instead.
Her decision followed a bitter dispute over an advertisement produced by an independent political organization supporting El-Sayed.
The advertisement linked America’s cost-of-living problems to US financial support for Israel.
Stevens condemned the advertisement as antisemitic. El-Sayed said his campaign had no involvement in producing it and that he disagreed with its content.
Trump has repeatedly attacked El-Sayed throughout the campaign, including in Tuesday’s interview, when he called him a "Moslem Brüderbund jihadist."
The president offered no evidence supporting that allegation, which El-Sayed has rejected. Whether that argument will influence undecided voters on Election Day remains to be seen.
The diplomatic and financial question is more complicated: whether the United States and Israel have actually agreed to dismantle an assistance framework that has been a cornerstone of their security relationship for decades.
They will require clarification from the White House, the Israeli government, and potentially Congress itself.
However,
a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... one IDF source declined to respond, and another expressed surprise. Multiple Defense Ministry sources have not yet responded to repeated inquiries.
The Foreign Ministry also referred all questions to the Prime Minister's Office.
The entire defense, diplomatic, and finance establishments appear to have been caught by surprise, with all sectors waiting for Netanyahu to clarify the ramifications.
#1
Given the Kissinger agreements, for decades both Israel and Egypt benefitted monetarily from the neutrality of the Sinai Peninsula. The payments did help insure the peace between the two nations. Now, will we cut off the Egyptian payments?
#2
Stupid move. This money comes right back because Israel buys weapons with it, one of the few things still made in U.S.A. If the aid stops then what value is Israel going to get from the US alliance? If the Mossad isn't on our side then they are a terrifying adversary.
#3
Given that Mossad is sharing information with open enemies like Britain, I don’t think America needs worry that the relationship is strictly mercantile.

[Jpost] Israeli intelligence officials told their American counterparts that they believe Iran is rapidly advancing technology that would allow it to mount chemical weapons on missiles.
Israel has provided the United States with intelligence indicating that Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... is considering using chemical weapons
...have not been used since WWI except for in Iraq, by the late, unlamented Saddam Hussein and in Syria, but really, honest, not by the Syrian government. And in Germany in WWII, but that was against civilians. Lots of them, just one of many reasons Hitler's also late and unlamented... against its adversaries, but officials in Washington are divided over the information's credibility and significance, The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported on Tuesday, citing American and regional officials.
Some senior US officials received the intelligence with concern, while others expressed deep skepticism, viewing it as part of a pressure campaign by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government aimed at convincing the Trump administration to resume large-scale fighting against Iran.
According to the report, during discussions with US intelligence agencies and other officials over the past two weeks, senior Israeli officials presented the chemical weapons threat as more urgent than Iran's ambitions to develop nuclear weapons.
Israeli intelligence officials told their American counterparts that they believe Iran is rapidly advancing technology that would allow it to mount chemical weapons on missiles or smuggle them into Israel or another country to carry out an attack.
Other senior American officials believe the threat should be taken seriously, particularly in light of a series of recent warnings about Iranian preparations to attack US interests.
According to the newspaper, there is little disagreement within the American intelligence community that Iran is developing chemical weapons. The central dispute concerns whether Iranian leaders would actually use them, particularly if Iran is not attacked again.
GULF OFFICIALS QUESTION ISRAELI CHEMICAL WEAPONS INTELLIGENCE: 'NO EVIDENCE'
Israel also shared some of the intelligence with officials in Gulf states. Several questioned whether Iran was developing plans to use chemical weapons and believe Israel is attempting to push the United States and its partners toward a more intensive phase of the war.
A regional official told the newspaper that Israel had presented Gulf countries with assessments suggesting Iran was working to make its chemical weapons operational, but had not shared supporting evidence.
According to the official, Gulf governments regarded the claims as lacking seriousness.
For some American officials, the warnings have revived memories of the faulty intelligence surrounding Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in 2002.
At the time, US intelligence agencies presented the White House with a firm assessment that Iraq possessed such weapons, although the country had largely abandoned or suspended its nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs.
Even among those briefed on the new intelligence, assessments differ regarding how quickly and effectively Iran could deploy chemical weapons.
According to experts and American officials who spoke with the newspaper, mounting a chemical weapon on a ballistic missile is not particularly difficult, but ensuring the effective dispersal of the chemical agent is more complicated.
Smuggling a bomb across a border also presents difficulties. Another possibility mentioned was the use of a drone.
Despite the Israeli warnings, the newspaper reported that preparations for responding to chemical weapons attacks are not a central component of the Home Front Command exercises taking place across Israel this week.
Two Home Front Command officials said there had also been no widespread reminders distributed to officers or the public regarding protective instructions against such a threat.
The IDF declined to comment.
US PREPARES POTENTIAL IRAN STRIKE AS WASHINGTON, TEHRAN PURSUE DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
The intelligence was shared as the United States and Iran explore the possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough while simultaneously preparing for a resumption of hostilities.
According to senior American officials, US Central Command (CENTCOM) has a plan for an attack on Iran that could be carried out as early as Wednesday, November 4, one day after the US midterm elections.
The report stated that three American aircraft carriers are currently in the region, while the preferred operational window for an attack is expected to be brief.
One of the aircraft carriers will need to return to its home port after the beginning of November, and particularly dark nights are expected in the coming days, providing favorable conditions for military operations.
However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... has not yet approved a large-scale attack, and diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran are continuing.
In recent weeks, the United States has concentrated warships, fighter jets and bombers in the region in preparation for a possible relatively short military campaign involving intensive strikes.
At the same time, diplomats are attempting to formulate an agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran's nuclear program and postpone further military action.
According to the report, the military buildup could also serve as leverage to support the diplomatic effort.
Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Cynthia backed into the galley, the barbecue fork held in front of her. Jack! she called. Where the hell are you?... US intelligence agencies assess that the threat to Americans in the Middle East and several other countries is at its highest level since the war began in February.
Intelligence collection was intensified after an Iranian plot to attack a base in Britannia used by American fighter jets was uncovered.
On October 23, a warning memorandum regarding potential Iranian attacks was sent to senior administration officials. Diplomats and other personnel were subsequently placed on heightened alert.
The newspaper also linked Netanyahu's efforts to his political situation following the Israeli elections, in which he failed to secure a clear path toward forming a government.
Several commentators who spoke with the newspaper suggested that Netanyahu might attempt to use a national security emergency to pressure opposition leaders into joining a coalition under his leadership.
IRAN DENIES CHEMICAL WEAPONS PROGRAM AS US OFFICIALS WARN OF POSSIBLE ESCALATION
American allegations regarding an Iranian chemical weapons program date back decades.
In 2003, Iran acknowledged that it had developed chemical capabilities during the Iran-Iraq War but claimed that it subsequently dismantled them.
Tehran denies possessing chemical weapons and has previously described such accusations as psychological warfare conducted by Israel and Netanyahu.
Dana Stroul, a former Pentagon brasshat responsible for Middle East policy during the Biden administration, said it has been known for more than two decades that Iran has been stockpiling components for chemical weapons, but has never used them.
However,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... she warned that Tehran could feel "existential pressure" and potentially cross the threshold into directly using such weapons offensively.
A spokesperson for Netanyahu's office told the NYT: "Israel closely monitors every threat posed by the Iranian terrorist regime and is prepared to confront it."
The White House did not respond to the newspaper's request for comment, but an American official said Trump would defend the United States and its allies against any potential threat.
#1
Syria used them when they started losing to US-backed Al-Nusra rebels. But that triggered an immediate visit by John McCain and a huge increase in US support. With first use of WMD Iran is just opening the door to retaliation with American WMD. Since we don't have any chemical weapons that means only nuclear.
#2
Against whom?
The US or its allies in the region?
Israel or other countries outside of the Middle East hosting US forces?
Or against domestic enemies of the IRGC?
[Jpost] Following the October 7 attack, the "Hourglass" fence faced criticism after it was breached at dozens of locations along the 64-kilometer Gaza border.
The Defense Ministry's Borders and Seam Directorate, under the command of Maj.-Gen. Eran Ofir, began upgrading and improving the "Hourglass" security fence along the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip this month, based on lessons learned from the October 7 attack and the war against Hezbollah.
The first upgrade includes reinforcing gates along the international border separating Israeli territory from Paleostinian territory, making them more difficult to breach while allowing military forces to pass through in the southern and northern brigade sectors of the Gaza Division.
The second upgrade involves analyzing the terrain and geographical conditions along the border, with engineering work being carried out accordingly ahead of the winter months.
The area is prone to soil erosion and flooding from seasonal streams, which could damage the fence.
SECURED PASSAGES FOR MILITARY FORCES
The third upgrade includes installing secured openings that will allow military forces to move quickly from one side of the fence to the other.
The fourth upgrade includes integrating technologies and operational methods to counter threats operating at very low altitudes, particularly fiber-optic drones.
Hezbollah used such drones against IDF soldiers in southern Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... , and at the height of the war, they became a significant defensive challenge.
Similar technology is expected to be implemented along Israel's other borders, particularly the border with Lebanon.
The fifth upgrade includes preparations for integrating advanced intelligence-gathering systems to improve early warning capabilities against various threats and strengthen security in the border area.
THE GAZA BORDER FENCE AND LESSONS FROM OCTOBER 7
Following the October 7 attack, the "Hourglass" fence faced criticism after it was breached at dozens of locations along the 64-kilometer Gaza border, allowing thousands of snuffies to infiltrate Israeli territory.
However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach... it is important to emphasize that the Hourglass fence, which was based on the barrier along Israel's border with Egypt, was designed primarily to mark the border, delay attempts to infiltrate Israeli territory, and provide warnings of incursions through technological systems.
The IDF, however, had become entrenched in the assumption that the fence was impassable or that Israeli forces would be able to strike any terrorist cell approaching the border and attempting to breach it.
In practice, on October 7, a small number of IDF soldiers faced thousands of snuffies without adequate weapons or sufficient artillery and air support.
According to General Staff investigations, the fence fulfilled its intended purpose. Nevertheless, given the changing conditions along Israel's borders, the decision was made to upgrade it.
It should also be noted that investigations conducted after October 7 revealed that Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... had carried out a series of tests using various bombs along the Hourglass fence before the attack to determine how it could be breached.
However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach... Southern Command not only failed to recognize that these activities were preparations for a future massacre, but also chose not to inform the Borders and Seam Directorate of the details.
[North Press] Lebanon’s Hezbollah denied on Tuesday allegations by Syrian Internal Security Forces that a cell affiliated with the group had plotted to target the Homs oil refinery.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Internal Security Forces announced that they had foiled a plot targeting the refinery on Sunday. In a statement, they said the operation was carried out in coordination with the General Intelligence Service and involved a cell affiliated with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah’s Media Relations Office rejected the allegations, describing them as entirely baseless. It said the group had no presence or organizational or operational links in Syria and was not involved in any activity that could undermine the country’s security or internal stability.
The office said repeated attempts to associate Hezbollah with unrelated cases would not change the group’s position, which it described as consistent and clearly stated on previous occasions.
The statement said Hezbollah’s priority remained confronting Israel, accusing it of carrying out daily attacks on Lebanon and Syria and continuing to occupy territory in both countries.
Hezbollah added that confronting Israel and its expansionist plans should remain the top priority for Arab and regional efforts. It warned that mutual accusations would serve Israel’s interests and divert attention from what it described as the real confrontation.
IRGC Statement Sends Troubling Signal for Ongoing Political Talks
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared that it will determine the timing and conditions for ending enemy attacks.
In a statement marking November 4, the IRGC said it is implementing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s latest directives on “maximum deterrence” in coordination with Iran’s armed forces.
The IRGC emphasized its combat readiness, continued updates to its target database, and plans to bring the enemy’s material and nonmaterial assets within striking range. It also warned that it would respond immediately and effectively to any threat, regardless of its scale or nature, without geographical restrictions.
