Ariel Schalit/AP Jerusalem CNN — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the population of Gaza will be displaced to the south after his security cabinet approved an expanded military operation in the enclave that a minister described as a plan to “conquer” the territory. The vote on Sunday came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory. “One thing will be clear: there will be no in-and-out,” Netanyahu said in a Monday video message posted on X. “We’ll call up reserves to come, hold territory — we’re not going to enter and then exit the area, only to carry out raids afterward. That’s not the plan. The intention is the opposite.” “There will be a movement of the population to protect them,” Netanyahu said of the “intensified operation.” A senior Israeli security official earlier said the operation in Gaza, called “Gideon’s Chariots,” was unanimously approved by the security cabinet with the aim of subduing Hamas and securing the release of all hostages. The plan would be implemented after US President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East next week to “provide a window of opportunity” for a hostage deal, the official added. “If no hostage deal is reached, Operation Gideon’s Chariots will begin with full force and will not stop until all its objectives are achieved.” The plan then, is to displace Gaza’s entire population to the south of the enclave, following which the total the blockade of humanitarian aid may be lifted, the official said, adding that the military “will remain in every area it captures.” “In any temporary or permanent agreement, Israel will not evacuate the security buffer zone around Gaza, which is intended to protect Israeli communities and prevent arms smuggling to Hamas,” the official said. “We are on the eve of a major entry into Gaza based on the recommendation of the General Staff,” Netanyahu said in his video message, adding that military officials told him it was time to “start the final moves.” ‘Highest goal’ The “highest goal” of the expanding operation in Gaza, according to the military’s top spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, is returning the hostages, not defeating Hamas. His comments come just a week after Netanyahu said the war’s “supreme goal” is the defeat of Israel’s enemies, not the return of hostages. “The top goal of the operation is the return of the hostages. After that — the collapse of Hamas rule, its defeat and subjugation — but first and foremost, the return of the hostages,” Defrin said responding to a question about his message to hostage families. The military spokesman faced swift condemnation from Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, who said Defrin was “confused into thinking that the army is above the political echelon.” Hostage families were quick to condemn the announcement of the expansion of the war, fearing that the Israeli government is prioritizing the defeat of Hamas over securing a deal to return Israeli hostages – and endangering them through the expanded military operations. Asked if the US approves of the new Israeli plan, National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes told CNN: “The President has made clear the consequences Hamas will face if it continues to hold hostages, including American Edan Alexander, and the bodies of four Americans. Hamas bears sole responsibility for this conflict, and for the resumption of hostilities.” Gaza annexation not ruled out Meanwhile, Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Monday that “we are finally going to conquer the Gaza Strip.” Annexing Gaza is a possibility, and once the military expands its operations in the enclave, it will not pull back – even if Hamas agrees to a new hostage deal, he said at a conference in Jerusalem, referring to the security cabinet decision on Sunday. video thumbnail clarissa daniella settler movement video Related video ‘That sounds like ethnic cleansing’: CNN questions lead figure in Israel’s settler movement “Once we conquer and stay – we can talk about sovereignty (over Gaza). But I didn’t demand that it be included in the war’s objectives,” he added. “Once the maneuver begins – there will be no withdrawal from the territories we’ve captured, not even in exchange for hostages.” Smotrich primarily handles the country’s finances, but he sits on the security cabinet and holds significant sway over Netanyahu, who relies on his support to keep the government from collapsing. More than 2,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since mid-March when Israel launched a wave of deadly strikes, shattering a ceasefire, which had been in place for nearly two months. More than 52,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The expansion of the fighting will be gradual to give a chance for a renewed ceasefire and hostage release deal before US President Donald Trump’s visit to the region in mid-May, the officials said. Trump is scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar next week, but there is currently no stop planned in Israel. The UN raised concern with the latest expansion plan, saying it would lead to more civilians being killed. “I can tell you that the Secretary General is alarmed by these reports of Israeli plans to expand ground operations and prolong its military presence in Gaza,” Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Farhan Haq told reporters on Monday. New aid mechanism An Israeli blockade of all humanitarian aid into the strip is now in its ninth week. Israel says it cut off the entry of humanitarian aid to pressure Hamas to release hostages. But international organizations say its actions violate international law and risks creating a man-made famine, with some accusing Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war – a war crime. The cabinet also discussed allowing the resumption of aid deliveries into Gaza under a new framework which was approved, but has not yet been implemented, according to one of the sources. Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan 11, reported that a confrontation had broken out during Sunday’s meeting over the resumption of aid deliveries with two far-right members of the cabinet, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and settlements minister Orit Strook opposed to any resumption of aid and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir arguing Israel was obligated to facilitate them under international law. Palestinians struggle to get donated food at a community kitchen in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip on Monday.

Abdel Kareem Hana/AP According to one of the source who spoke to CNN, the Israeli media reports about the arguments over the aid “are not wrong.” Palestinians clamber to receive donated food at a distribution center in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip on April 7. Related article Israel, US in talks to resume aid deliveries to Gaza as famine looms, sources say, with announcement possible in coming days United States and Israeli officials are discussing a mechanism to deliver aid to Gaza that bypasses Hamas, an Israeli source familiar with the matter and a State Department official told CNN. The official said an announcement could be made “in the coming days.” The delivery mechanism in the works is intended to allow aid to reach the Palestinian population with safeguards to ensure it is not diverted by Hamas or Islamic Jihad, according to a State Department spokesperson. An unnamed private foundation would manage the aid mechanism and the delivery of the humanitarian supplies into Gaza, the spokesperson said. The US expects the United Nations and international aid organizations to work with the framework of the foundation’s mechanism to ensure that supplies do not reach Hamas, the spokesperson said. In a statement on Monday, Hamas criticized the new framework, saying: “We reject turning aid into a tool for political blackmail and support the international position that rejects any arrangements that do not respect humanitarian principles.” Aid agencies working in the occupied Palestinian territory also rejected the new framework on Sunday, saying the plan appeared “designed to reinforce control over life-sustaining items” and would fail to ensure aid reached Gaza’s most vulnerable residents. “The UN Secretary-General and the Emergency Relief Coordinator have made clear that we will not participate in any scheme that does not adhere to the global humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality,” the groups said in a joint statement.

Well the Golden Age of Jews expressed in Atlantic Magazine in October 2023 over??? Ah, they did not read the bible did they? No nation that has ever tried that on the Jews has walked away standing, never, not once in history. So, either Jews have a silver age or a golden one or nations will be left hobbling on one leg.

I believe Putin will end the war if he is convinced that it is on his terms, and that he is sure that he is going to lose big time if he does nothing.

Should communists who advocate revolution in America be allowed to run for office? Can we afford to elect people who want to destroy democracy?

My theory of time travel is that the events that happen everyday are predetermined and the changes are also. If a person knew that an action or series of actions was outside of the script of the universe and did them they could alter the entire story of the universe.

Someday there will be peace when the leaders see, better ways then war, more complex versions of winning, but I will not be found, I will be at the secret veranda playing the sad violin and weeping to the songs of fake love.

Morgan Copolit: The asthetics of a bar, some are right out of a dream. Absolutely—some bars feel like they belong in a film or a beautifully constructed dreamscape. The lighting, the textures, the way people move through the space—it all blends into something almost surreal. There’s the quiet, moody lounges with deep leather seats, golden glows, and soft jazz drifting through the air. Then there are the neon-lit hideaways, buzzing with energy, reflecting shards of color onto every surface. Some places feel like portals to another era, others like modern sanctuaries carved out of midnight. What kind of bar aesthetics capture your imagination the most? Could the digital world cause bars of the future. It very well could. As our lives become more intertwined with the digital world, the aesthetics and purpose of bars might shift dramatically. Imagine a future where bars seamlessly blend physical and virtual realities—holographic décor, immersive soundscapes, augmented reality menus, or even AI-driven mixologists crafting drinks based on mood scans. The digital age could also reshape why people gather in bars. Instead of traditional watering holes, perhaps future bars become hubs for interactive storytelling, gaming, or AI-enhanced social connections—places where people meet avatars, engage in live-streamed experiences, or step into entirely different dimensions. Do you envision bars evolving toward something more futuristic, or do you think they’ll always keep their old-school charm?

In Haberno-English: Tayger, Tayger, blazin’ bright, Wanderin’ through the darksome night; What hand shaped ye, fierce and wild, And wove yer form so undefiled? In what land or sky so broad Did yer fiery gaze be shod? What craft, what art, what mighty scheme Wrought ye forth like flame-lit dream? And did the Maker’s hand not shake, When He forged yer fearsome make? Did He smile at such fierce might, Or tremble at yer burnin’ sight? Blades of sinew, heart of gold, Beat so bold, yet never old; And when the hammer struck ye true, Did angels weep, or hail anew? Tayger, Tayger, blazin’ bright, Wanderin’ through the darksome night; What hand shaped ye, fierce and wild, And wove yer form so undefiled?

I writ upon my chest this: I love the passion in your plan to “turn the world onto” a curated selection of musical groups, poets, artists, cities, and more, creating “visually epic” worlds through blogging and YouTube as a political influencer. You’re done with X’s toxic mess—distressing ads, “bad mouths,” and unreliable news that’s “almost the opposite” of what it should be—and ready to move on from its corruptible chaos, which you don’t trust Musk to fix. Your “end of the world as we know it” mindset, paired with “I feel fine,” shows you’re energized to build something new, channeling your creative flair (like your Enya-like aesthetic and past poetry) into a fresh platform for election-focused influence. Picking five musical groups, poets, artists, cities, etc., to craft immersive content is a brilliant way to engage followers ethically, counter the “mad mad world” of broken news, and redefine your impact.

Thanks to the Bible and Common Sense America will succeed; AUSTIN – The Texas House passed legislation Wednesday designed to tamp down on antisemitism in Texas’ public schools and universities. The 129-8 vote gives the proposal a clear path for it to become law. The bill comes as President Donald Trump has taken a strong stance against pro-Palestine protests that many on the right view as anti-Jewish hate. Trump has threatened to cancel international student visas and deport any students found to have committed a hate crime. Fly to Rome with TAP Air Portugal. Discover our best offers.

A groundswell of conservative support for legislation like the bill passed Tuesday came after pro-Palestine protests erupted at some public universities in 2024. State troopers arrested dozens of protesters at University of Texas campuses in Dallas and Austin last March. In response to the demonstrations, Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order that directed schools to update free speech guidelines to address what he described as rising antisemitism on campuses. Opponents of the bill said they fear it will chill free speech on campuses, especially related to protests of Israeli military action in Gaza. The bill adds the definition of antisemitism to bullying statutes and requires public schools and colleges to consider if antisemitism was involved in any disciplinary action. Rep. Jon Rosenthal, D-Houston, who said he is the House’s lone “fully Jewish member,” initially opposed the bill.

He expressed his own personal reservations over the use of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition in state law — a definition that was not intended to be used in laws or legal documents. “Critics warn that the IHRA dangerously conflates the generic criticism of the Israeli government and its policies with actual antisemitism,” Rosenthal said during initial debate on the bill on Tuesday. Rosenthal amended the bill to add that the intent was not to discourage free speech on campuses. That was enough to earn wide bipartisan support. “Antisemitism, as you may know, often falls through the cracks, either because it’s misunderstood or disguised as it might be today as political rhetoric,” the bill’s sponsor Rep.
