In a latest development, a drone attack at Israeli capital Tel Aviv near the US Embassy on 19 July 20224, killed one person and injured five others. This has put a question mark on the Israeli and the US Air Defence capabilities. The Israeli Army Radio units, Israel’s Missile Defence Organization and US Missile Defence Agency are speechless about their defence system including Patriot systems; the credibility of US-Israeli-made Arrow 3 missile is also on stake. We saw a green signal from the US for $ 3.5 billion for sale to Germany in August last year that was likely to be signed in November 2023, but 7 October attack on Israel put the deal on the back burner. Despite claimed long-range interception capabilities at high altitudes above the atmosphere in the stratosphere, the German Bundestag Defence Committee probably has to reconsider the deal for its acquisition as part of the European Air Defence System.
Earlier, on 18 July 2024, the Israeli 120-member Knesset passed a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state. The Resolution could earn only 68 votes to nine a resolution as others either did not turn out or declined to support resolution including opposition leader Yair Lapid’s center-left Yesh Atid party, the Labor, Ra’am and Hadash-Ta’al parties (a clear majority of eighty members of the Knesset could not be achieved). The Resolution read as, “The Israeli Knesset opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state on any piece of land west of the Jordan River... It will be only a matter of time before Hamas takes over such a Palestinian state and turns it into a base for radical Islamic terrorism in full alignment with the Iranian regime that aims to eradicate the State of Israel…" Interestingly, the Knesset already passed a resolution sponsored by Prime Minister Netanyahu rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state in February 2024, in which 99 of 120 lawmakers voted in support. However, Tel Aviv placed the Resolution for the second time as 168 countries have either recognized Palestine or in the process of recognizing a Palestinian state
Meanwhile, Israel is continuing the genocide of the orthodox Muslims in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon. The leadership of Hamas including the government formed in exile in Eastern Europe has rejected the impression that the Israeli Defence forces are in occupation of Gaza or other Palestinian territories. In a statement, Hamas leader Muhammad said, “We will not let down the Palestinian masses and we are still in control of Gaza and adjoining. Hamas is abiding the international law and is giving tough resistance to Israeli intruders and would flush them out of Palestinian territories; we would declare independence on 26 July 2024, Inshallah…” Israel should allow Palestinians to govern their territories with due guarantees by the Arab and African Confederation of neighbouring states. This would ensure future generations of Muslims and Jews to live peacefully in this holy land of Prophets.

A brigade of shadows developed that comprises of out-class puppets being handled by Western puppet organizing companies. These puppets are so real that some of them are real humans while others are anonymous characters run through automated digital programs and Artificial Intelligence. These puppets have been planted everywhere to counter competitors, rivals, adversaries and enemies. With the capability to block the normal human mind, masses are hypnotized to believe and act according to the same scripts, which are meant for the puppets. Recruitment of die-hard after arresting, convicting, blackmailing and converting and setting free to destroy what all was sacred is the strategy practiced in the recent decades; a “Trojan Horse”. We saw threatening recorded audio messages of Abu Ubaida, who is always masked without growing older, should be believe him or we should believe in Ismail Haniyah and Ziad al Nakhalah who only gave statements to support 7th October attack on Israel to remain relevant for the collection of huge fundings?
We have seen hatred, wars and grave violations between the Palestinians and the Israelis in the past but ever since Palestinians were allowed self-governance over the West Bank and the Gaza, especially takeover of control by Hamas, the Palestinians adopted peaceful strategies to achieve their right to self-determination. Gradually, things went fine and we saw Israel’s partial success story in winning the hearts and minds of Arab nations for the normalization of bilateral relations when the Israeli delegation visited Saudi Arabia last year. It surprised everyone when first Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Palestine, Nayef al-Sudairi officially visited Palestine and presented his credentials to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at West Bank on 26 September 2023. Indeed, it was a major step towards the normalization of relations between Arabs and Jews.
In the backdrop, the question arises why when everything was going well for the Palestinians, any group loyal to the Palestinian cause would launch such a terrorist attack within a fortnight which could turn the Israelis, the Jews and the masses around the world against them? Through the media, we saw at least two Palestinian leaders, Ismail Haniyah and Ziad al Nakhalah who in televised speeches on 7 and 8 October 2023 respectively, accepted the responsibility of the attack on Israel and urged Arab countries to not normalize relations with Israel. Secretary General of Islamic Jihad, Ziad al Nakhalah went to an extent that he called on Israel to admit defeat to prevent more casualties and kidnappings. He also said that Qassam Brigades are in the grip of dozens of captured officers and soldiers, and they have been secured in safe places and resistance tunnels.
One wonders if these leaders are really loyal to the Palestine cause as they not only invited the Israelis and the world at large to develop hatred against Hamas, brand them as terrorists, provided an opportunity for their rejection as political leaders and endanger their lives in Gaza while these two leaders themselves were living in protection in Qatar and Lebanon.
There is no doubt that the Palestinians or Hamas has noting to do with those in leadership in Lebanon and Iran. If we carefully examine Hezbollah‘s statement soon after the 7th October 2023, attacks on Israel, “On the path to liberate the remaining part of our occupied Lebanese land and in solidarity with the victorious Palestinian resistance and the steadfast Palestinian people, the groups of the martyr commander Hajj Imad Moghniyeh in the Islamic Resistance carried out an attack this Sunday, October 08, 2023, targeting three Zionist occupation sites in the occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms region.”
We should also not forget that Ziyad al Nakhalah was second time arrested by Israelis in April 1988 and exiled to Lebanon in August 1988, where Al-Nakhalah became deputy secretary general of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in 1995 and was later elected Secretary General in September 2018. It was Al-Nakhalah, who arranged meeting of Hamas top leader Saleh al-Arouri with Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah on 25 October 2023. Many people consider Israeli drone strike and martyrdom of Saleh al-Arouri, Samir Findi, and Azzam Al-Aqraa on an office in the Dahieh near Beirut on 2 January 2024, as conspiracy against Hamas leadership hatched by their own people. Another Israeli drone targeted Basel Salah at town of Jadra in Nabatieh, Lebanon on 10 February 2024. Strange that the Hamas leadership was invited to visit Lebanon to die. It is high time that the world must realize that Hamas have adopted the path of peace and there is a conspiracy going against them. The genocide of Hamas and other Palestinians must end without further delay.

On Friday 19 July 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), presided over by honourable Judge Nawaf Salam will deliver its Advisory Opinion in respect of the “Legal Consequences Arising from the Politics and Practice of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory including East Jerusalem.
The reign of terror and total disregard for ethics and human rights by Israeli Defence Forces and allies has endangered peace and security not only in the Middle East but the entire world. The Israelis have expelled hundreds of Palestinian families from East Jerusalem in recent few days. There are authentic reports that over 370 Palestinian Muslims have been killed and many others have been injured. According to unconfirmed figures between 1500 and 2200 are missing. The peace-loving people of the world are hopeful that the International Court of Justice will uphold justice and stop terrorism and expulsions of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem.

We have the unedited satellite imageries of exact events that took place on the night 6th and morning 7 October 2023 that nullifies any claim that Hamas attacked inside the Israeli territory on 7 October and massacred and abducted innocent people including Jews. Those who have seen the contents of forensically certified original imageries from their own eyes ruled out Hamas involvement in the 7 October attack and confirmed Israeli intelligence signatures for a self-engineered plot against own people to internationalize an excuse to occupy Gaza and other Palestinian territories. There is a clear division in the world with regard to funding, arming and supporting war criminal Israel in acts of genocide of Palestinians including Hamas and those supporting Palestinians in their right of self-determination. The latest statements by UK newly appointed Prime Minister Me Keir Starmer "longstanding policy on recognition to contribute to a peace process had not changed, and it was the undeniable right of Palestinians.” This means that Israel, the US and finger-counted countries are left alone in their funding, arming and supporting war criminal Israel in acts of genocide of Palestinians.
In the recent claim by Israeli agencies, they knew about 7th October 2023 attack on Israel over a year ago. A 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall” was leaked to media this week in which Hamas planned to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a divisional headquarters. The document reflects that Hamas planned a barrage of rockets at the outset of the attack, drones to knock out the security cameras and automated machine guns along the border, and gunmen to enter Israel through the paragliders, motorcycles and on foot. Interestingly, in July 2023, just three months before the attack, an official analyst with Israeli Signal Intelligence Unit 8200 warned that Hamas had conducted an intense Exercise similar to what was outlined in the 40-page document blueprint. It is on record that the Israelis made public the same story soon after 7 October attack at the musical and dance festival blaming Hamas for the massacre and abductions.
Meanwhile, Washington has announced American military pier off the coast of Gaza will be permanently removed within a week. The welcoming development came after the American military plan to occupy Gaza through the sea by Israelis and allies was made public. Today the International Justice system is at threat after some nations became critical to obey the orders of ICC and ICJ. Arrest warrant for Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over genocide and other war crimes in Gaza. There are high hopes that the British would not compromise over upholding the International Law. The UN Security Council Resolutions regarding the threat caused to international peace and security by the terrorist act entitle other states to action and coming into action of sanction regime. The law provides punishment and war against actors supporting terrorism. Hence, the fate of these countries should not be different than those who were raised to ground for supporting, arming, funding and campaigning acts of terrorism.
Gaza, 8 July 2024, TON: Horrifying sconce of three dead bodies without clothes and one of them had their leg chopped off were witnessed at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. The ill-fated three Palestinians were found dead at the Karam Abu Salem crossing in southern Gaza, where they were attacked by a bomb after their release. They were identified as Kamel Ghabayen, Mohammed Awad Ramadan Abu Hejazi and Ramadan Awad Ramadan Aby Hejaz. As per the statement of Mahmoud Abu Taha, another detainee. they came under fire shortly after their release.
As per the statement of a witness the Israeli forces opened fire on the detainees so that they should not return but someone hurled a bomb and killed them. One of the Palestinian locals of the area said Israeli-backed anti-Hamas groups active in Gaza and they along with the Israeli might be behind it.

International peace and security is threatened as Israel's state machinery is behaving like a wild beast or dangerous hardcore terrorists, challenging the international order and on the rampage killing and bulldozing everything on her way. One of the main reasons why the International Justice system is at threat is that some nations become critical to obey the orders of ICC and ICJ. The arrest warrant for Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over genocide and other war crimes in Gaza is being delayed under the patronage of these supporters of war crimes and terrorism. There is only one-liner demand, “Israeli intelligence agencies must release all abducted Israelis and guests of 7th October 2023 attack to end drama against Palestinians and withdraw at once.”
On the international chessboard, there are high hopes that Britain would not compromise over upholding the International Law. The world is watching the moves carefully and those Western countries, which are openly supporting in the hate campaign to eliminate the entire Palestinian population who observes a specific religious ideology. The law that provides punishment and war on terror against actors supporting terrorism is also applicable on them. The UN Security Council Resolutions regarding threats caused to international peace and security by the terrorist acts entitle other states to come into action and activate sanction regime. US, UK, Germany and few other nations supporting Israel's genocide and terrorism must realize that all states are equal before the International justice system. The fate of these countries would not be different than those who were told that they would be raised to the ground if they continue supporting, arming, funding and campaigning acts of terrorism.
Today, there is a clear division in the world, over funding, arming and supporting war criminal Israel in acts of genocide of Palestinians including Hamas and those supporting Palestinians for their right of self determination. In the latest statement UK newly appointed PM Me Keir Starmer said that Britain is committed “to continuing the UK and Israel's vital cooperation to deter malign threats.” As a symbolic gesture he said, "that his longstanding policy on recognition to contribute to a peace process had not changed, and it was the undeniable right of Palestinians,” but there is plot against the orthodox, no matter they are Jews, Muslims or Christians. The new confederation of Arab nations comprising Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and others are watching the situation carefully. Things are moving as planned to win peace.

In a statement issued by the Hamas in Gaza, West Bank, Arab territories and Eastern Europe strategy in the holy month of Moharram was announced. In Al Quran, the Almighty Allah has forbidden to wage war in this month unless they are imposed war and expelled from their houses. Speaking on the occasion final touches to formal independence of Palestine on 26th July 2024 was chalked out. It was hoped that the United Nations Organization would grant full membership to Palestine without further delay. Hamas has requested all nations to formally issue letters of recognition as an independent and sovereign state of Palestine, which would be an Islamic Democratic Republic. Palestine has asked nations to nominate their Ambassadors before 26th July nations to be stationed at Jerusalem after peace and stability and till that stationed in Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
As per the plan agreed upon the State of Palestine will become independent on 26th July and will become part of a Confederation of Arab nations comprising Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Sudan. Next stage other Afro-Asian countries would join the confederation. Saudi Arabia and Turkey would be guarantors to ensure the independence of Palestine. It would be the responsibility of the grand confederation to ensure the security and economic stability of Palestine. The Western nations will be bound to support the Palestinians under the agreements made in the past, failing which no agreement will be honoured and the issue will be resolved de novo. Agreements registered with the United Nations will have effect, however, secret letters will not have any effect unless the present state authorities sign a formal agreement thereof.
A majority of countries have already recognized the Statehood of Palestine but these nations are expected to announce a fresh recognition of Palestine to remove any doubt. In addition, all countries including new ones are expected to make a final announcement by the deadline 20th July. In time frame, Turkey and Saudi Arabia along with the other members of the confederation would determine the security apparatus needed for deployment to ensure peace. Jews holding valid proprietorship (till 1948) will be legitimate citizens of Palestine subject to certain conditions while others would be settled on case to case basis. A committee of Muslims and Jews would also be set up to organize dialogues for the removal of irritants and to ensure peace and harmony between all communities.
With regard UNO’s full membership of Palestine, the General Assembly merely found Palestine to be a suitable candidate for full membership, and recommended that the Security Council should “reconsider the matter favourably” but US Vetod the move that will disturb the peace effort as reciprocal cancellation of Israel’s membership and a complete ban may be moved. We hope Palestine will emerge as an instrument of peace for the Middle East and beyond.

Israeli forces tanks and special equipment were seen northern Gaza moving towards the south this weekend. Earlier as a decoy some elements attacked western and southern sides. Huge destruction of houses and properties as well as standing crops was witnessed in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his stance that he would eliminate entire Hamas and their offspring to achieve victory over groups supporting Islam. An Israeli Ministry of Defence official said on the condition of anatomy that over 1800 Israeli Defence Forces personnel are facing Court Martial proceedings and another 980 are missing. Unconfirmed reports suggest Israeli Defence Forces suffered 1390 causalities in addition to those Israeli personnel killed in Israel's intelligence-backed 7 October 2024 attack inside Israel.
Meanwhile, the US and UK have accelerated their supplies and funding to Israel. The troika is using bases in Jordon and Syria for drone attacks on the Palestinian population. In another development, most of the Hamas and allied leaders in Palestinian territories and Eastern Europe have declared 26 July 2024 as Independence Day when Palestine would officially emerge as an independent and sovereign State. Hamas top leader disclosed that besides armour fire Israelis are also anti-tank rockets and mortar bombs and filing these events for unknown reasons. The Palestinian government in exile in Eastern Europe has warned Israel to implement the judgment of ICJ and ICC and confirm complete withdrawal from Gaza and other Palestinian territories. The leadership denied planning any unilateral actions against those who committed genocide of Palestinians and their supporters in their home countries and said “we have formally applied for full membership of UN and will abide by the international law as we believe in peace”.
Earlier this month, a request to ICC was made by the United Kingdom to provide written observations on whether the Court can exercise jurisdiction over Israeli nationals, in circumstances where Palestine cannot exercise criminal jurisdiction over Israeli nationals under the Oslo Accords. ICC prosecution’s request for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant is still valid but the United Kingdom has been allowed by the court that she may submit legal arguments to judges. One wonders if Oslo Accords is intact between Israel and Palestine after Israeli intelligence plot against innocent Israelis and guests dated 7th October 2023 and genocide thousands of Palestinians especially Hamas in Gaza. The brutal genocide of Palestinians has witnessed condemnation around the world. Even the Israelis have been criminalized by ICJ and ICC, issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister and Defence Minister but what UK is going to prove, “is genocide permissible” against non-members?”

In the latest development, member countries of G7, gathered in Italy to reaffirm unity and determination to meet global challenges from multiple interconnected crises. Interestingly, the members spoke supporting universal human rights, social progress, respect for multilateralism and the rule of law but their open support the genocide of orthodox Palestinians and war crimes in Gaza as well as allowing Ukrainians to bleed through pushing them to war was nothing but a mockery to show the cosmetic face through beautifully crafted words. Funding, arming and supporting individuals, and entities labeled by the International justice system involved in genocide and war crimes as well as defying arrest warrants accounts an active participation in genocide and war crimes.
No doubt, criticism and flat refusal to honour measures ordered by ICC and ICJ speak of a criminal mindset sending a negative message to other nations to follow the same path of state-sponsored terrorism. One wonders what prevents direct intervention by NATO after the signing of US-Ukraine Bilateral Security Agreement when Article 5 of NATO treaty provides that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all. Is this not hypocrisy that US instead of sending her combats to fight against the Russians, is arming and funding Ukrainians to fight while other NATO members just watching the Ukrainians getting killed? How long we allow this to happen?
The final Communique of G7 leaders was not more than a planned plot to continue targeting orthodox Muslims and Jews of the Middle East and Eastern Europe through genocide and war crimes depriving them the Palestine, Crimea, Sea of Avoz and the Black Sea. It also aim at bringing negative demographic change through genocide and mass migration thus reducing the original populations of all the border areas of Ukraine to minorities plus to allow new settlements to fill the gaps. It is high time to empower UNO and its bodies to save the world from further disaster and chaos.
The visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Saudi Arabia immediately before the G7 summit was not without substance and reflects trust in Saudi leadership. Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman took a wise step to decline attendance of G7 Summit due to due to Hajj responsibilities as well as foresight about the outcome of the summit due to presence of nations supporting genocide and war crimes. The bold stances by Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Egypt and many other nations is a precedent for the rest of the world. Ukrainian focused G7 Summit and later conference in Switzerland is an attempt to divert attention from the genocide of Palestinian in Gaza.
Ever since Hamas’ declaration of 26 July 2024 as Day of Independence of Palestine, the Afro-Asian nations including many countries of other regions have joined hands to act as solid rock ensuring that Palestinians exercise their right of self-determination to attain independence. Under the leadership of Saudi Arabia and other leaders, countries have started recognizing Palestine with its capital as Jerusalem with full membership of UNO. Multilateral and bilateral agreements are likely to be inked very soon followed by a “Grand Joint Declaration” to support and implement United Nations Security Council Resolutions and measures announced ICC and ICJ to safeguard Palestinian’s future. The constitutional framework and other modalities will also be worked out side by side.

The visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Saudi Arabia immediately before the Group of Seven (G7) summit was not without substance. The top Muslim leader, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman took a wise step to decline attendance of G7 Summit due to due to Hajj responsibilities as well as foresight about out come of the summit. The bold stance by Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Egypt and many other nations are eye opener for the rest of world. Ever since the declaration of 26 July 2024 as day of Independence of Palestine, the Afro-Asian countries including many other countries of other regions have joined hands for the first time to act as solid rock for right of self-determination of the people of Palestine to attain independence. Under the leadership of Saudi Arabia and other leaders, countries have started announcing recognition of Palestine with its capital as Jerusalem as independent and sovereign state with full membership of United Nations Organization. Multilateral and bilateral agreements are likely to be inked very soon followed by a “Grand Joint Declaration” to support and implement United Nations Security Council Resolutions and measures announced by International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) to safeguard Palestinian’s future. The constitutional framework and other modalities will also be worked out side by side.
In another development, member countries of G7, gathered in Italy from 13 to 15 June 2024, to reaffirm unity and determination to meet global challenges from multiple interconnected crises. Interestingly, the members spoke supporting universal human rights, social progress, and respect for multilateralism and the rule of law but their open support to the genocide of orthodox Palestinians and war crimes in Gaza was nothing but a mockery to show the cosmetic face through beautifully crafted words. Funding, arming and supporting individuals, entities and illegitimate government labeled by the International justice system as involved in the genocide of Palestinians and war crimes and defying arrest warrant accounts to equally party to genocide and war crime. No doubt, criticism and flat refusal to honour the orders and measures of ICC and ICJ speaks of criminal mindset has send negative message to other nations to follow the same path of state sponsored terrorism. One wonders that US-Ukraine Bilateral Security Agreement has been signed during G7 Summit, whereas Article 5 of NATO treaty provides that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all. Is it not hypocrisy that US instead of sending her combats to Ukraine to fight the Russian is arming and funding Ukrainian to fight and dies while other NATO member silently watch Ukrainians get killed. How long we allow this to happen?
The final G7 Leaders’ Communique was noting more than a planned plot to target Muslims of Middle East and Eastern Europe through genocide and war crimes. It includes some factions of Jews too. Since the Western and Israeli plot has been exposed to deprive Muslims of Palestine state, which has announced its independence as sovereign state with effect from 26 July 2024, and Muslims of Eastern Europe to deprive them from Crimea, Sea of Avoz and Black Sea. It also aimed at to bring negative demographic change through genocide and mass migration thus reducing majority of all the border areas of Ukraine to minority plus to allow new settlements to fill the gaps. It is high time to empower UNO and its bodies to save the world from further disaster and chaos. Everyone is hopeful that on the “D” Day the independence of Palestine State will be secured which will be followed by the resolutions of other pending issues to bring peace around the world and save our future generations.
