It’s not new but is still happening. The Palestinian Authority still pays terrorists to murder Israelis.

In 2024 they paid $144 million. This year they’ve already committed $214 million. This is how the PA incentivizes Palestinians to commit violence.

Pay For Slay must end.

Important read: “Trump Gaza peace plan doomed unless he shuts terror-boosting UNRWA”

UNRWA both perpetuates the conflict. Infiltrated by Hamas, it drives the conflict through educating for hate in school syllabuses.

*CEASEFIRE VIOLATION:* An armed terrorist crossed the yellow line, exploiting the humanitarian road in the area through which humanitarian aid enters southern Gaza. The terrorist fired at IDF soldiers and as a result, was eliminated.
👍24🙏6🤬1
Prime Minister's Office:

Today, Hamas violated the ceasefire again, sending a terrorist into Israel held territory to attack IDF soldiers. In response, Israel eliminated five senior Hamas terrorists.

Israel has fully honored the ceasefire, Hamas has not.

Throughout the ceasefire, dozens of Hamas terrorists have crossed the Israeli lines to attack our troops, while they execute Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

We again call on the mediators to insist that Hamas fulfill its side of the Ceasefire and President Trump’s 20-point plan:

Hamas must immediately return the three deceased hostages it is still holding and complete its disarmament and enable the total demilitarization of Gaza.
25🤬4🙏4
The Palestinian Authority has a policy of paying terrorists who kill Israelis. This Pay-For-Slay policy is fundamentally an encouragement of terror. This morally corrupt behavior must end.
👍13🤬84
BBC headlines are reportedly three times more likely to vilify Israel than Hamas. That’s a serious abuse of public trust.

Journalism shapes how we see events, and the decisions that follow affect real lives.
This level of bias is disgraceful and unacceptable.

The. Gaza. Lie. Exposed.

New X feature ripped mask off countless fake "Gazan" accounts.

Some chap posting from Pakistan, another in London. Another manipulative abuser somewhere else. All claiming to be suffering in Gaza while in the comfort of some coffee shop far away.

X’s testing a new feature illustrating actual physical location of accounts is to be praised & encouraged. Freedom of speech is a core principle. So is transparency & accountability.

The “citizen-journalist” on social media also needs to meet certain minimum standards. Kudos X 👌🏽

Prime Minister's Office Announcement

The Prime Minister's Office, this afternoon (Sunday, 23 November 2025) [translated from Hebrew]:

A short while ago, in the heart of Beirut, the IDF attacked the Hezbollah Chief-of-Staff, who had been leading the terrorist organization's buildup and rearmament.

Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the attack upon the recommendation of the Defense Minister and the IDF Chief-of-Staff.

Israel is determined to act to achieve its objectives everywhere and at all times.

196,900 followers being lied to by fake “journalist” claiming to be in Gaza. New X feature reveals his actual location is Poland.

Reporting from Gaza is fake & not reliable. Makes you wonder how many more fake reports have you read?

Statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Sunday, 23 November 2025) [translated from Hebrew]:

"A few hours ago, the IDF eliminated Ali Tabatabai, the Chief-of-Staff of the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Tabatabai is a mass murderer. His hands are soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans, and it is not for nothing that the US put a bounty of five million dollars on his head.

Tabatabai served as a senior commander in the Radwan Force. This is the force that prepared to conquer the Galilee and slaughter many of our citizens.

Recently, he led Hezbollah's renewed efforts to rearm, this is of course after the heavy blows Hezbollah suffered in the 'Pager Operation,' in the damage to its missile stockpiles, and of course, in the elimination of Nasrallah.

I thank the IDF and the security forces which carried out a professional, accurate, and successful operation today.

The policy I am leading is absolutely clear: Under my leadership, the State of Israel will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild its power, and we will not allow it to pose a threat to the State of Israel again.

I expect the Government of Lebanon to fulfill its commitment to disarm Hezbollah.

Because only in this way can a better future be made possible for every citizen in Lebanon, and only in this way can good and secure neighborly relations be established between Israel and Lebanon.

On this occasion, I also want to commend President Trump on his decision to outlaw and designate the 'Muslim Brotherhood' organization as a terrorist organization. This is an organization that endangers stability throughout the Middle East and also beyond the Middle East. Therefore, the State of Israel has already outlawed part of the organization, and we are working to complete this action soon."

Official Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Israel has eliminated in Beirut the Chief of Staff of Hezbollah, who had worked to rebuild and expand Hezbollah’s military and terrorist capabilities.

Hezbollah’s Chief of Staff, Tabatabaei, has been listed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) by the U.S. Department of State since 2016. Throughout his years of activity, he led numerous terrorist operations against Israel, directed efforts to build Hezbollah’s terror army, and undermined regional stability.

His elimination came in response to Hezbollah’s repeated violations of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and the 2024 ceasefire understandings, as well as the threat he posed to Israel and to regional stability.

The State of Israel has made clear, after it was attacked from Lebanon after October 7th, that it will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild its military capabilities and once again threaten the security of Israel and its citizens. The organization’s aggressive actions constitute a clear violation of international obligations and agreements.

In addition, the efforts of the Lebanese government to address Hezbollah’s severe violations have failed so far, and Hezbollah has continued its attempts to restore and expand its military and terrorist capabilities.

Israel is committed to the full implementation of the ceasefire understandings and has reported hundreds of violations through the international mechanism led by the United States. The IDF will continue to act to defend the State of Israel, its citizens, and regional stability, with determination, responsibility, and precision.

Palestinian support for Hamas doubled with the Oct. 7, 2023 massacre (to 43%). Today it’s still much higher (36%) than before Oct. 7 (22%).

We’ve seen these spikes in support for Hamas before, following previous Hamas violence. It says a lot about syllabuses in Palestinian schools and is deeply troubling. Not just Hamas, the Palestinian Authority as well and UNRWA too. Educating to hate must stop.

*Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar at a Press Conference in Paraguay with Foreign Minister Rubén Ramírez Lezcano: "The world is a better place today without Ali Tabatabai. As long as Hezbollah is the strongest military force in Lebanon - Israel has no security, and Lebanon has no future. "*

On Lebanon:
The world is a better place today without Ali Tabatabai. The Chief of Staff of Hezbollah's terror army was a mass-murderer with American and Israeli blood on his hands. The United States had a five-million-dollar bounty on his head. Tabatabai led terror attacks against Israel. Recently, he directed the efforts to rebuild Hezbollah's terror army. Our operation yesterday and IDF operations against Hezbollah in general are not a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty. The very existence of Hezbollah as the strongest armed force in Lebanon - is the violation of Lebanese sovereignty. As long as Hezbollah is not disarmed - Lebanon will remain de-facto under Iranian occupation. Over the past year - since the ceasefire - Hezbollah has been working to rearm - after the heavy blows it suffered from Israel in 2024. As long as Hezbollah is the strongest military force in Lebanon - Israel has no security, and Lebanon has no future. We wish to see the Lebanese government implement its decision and dismantle Hezbollah’s arsenal. But the truth is that this is happening in a very minor way. In fact, Hezbollah is rearming more than it is disarming."

Full Remarks:

"I want to thank Foreign Minister Rubén Ramírez Lezcano, for the warm welcome here in Asunción.

Gracias, mi amigo.

Paraguay is one of Israel’s greatest friends.

And you, Dear Minister, are a true friend of Israel.

Our relationship is not based only on interests, but also on shared values.

Paraguay’s foreign policy has a clear moral dimension:

You voted for the establishment of the State of Israel at the United Nations in 1947.

You were among the very first countries to recognize Israel.

The Jewish people are a nation that writes, remembers, and never forgets.

We're grateful for former President Cartes' decision in 2018 to move Paraguay's embassy to Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people.

We commend President Peña for his great decision to move your embassy to Jerusalem last December, and we appreciate his consistent support for Israel.

Jerusalem is the city toward which our ancestors prayed every day for 2,000 years in exile.

It is our eternal capital.

We are deeply grateful to President Peña, to you, dear Minister, and to Paraguay - for this historic move.

Minister,
Paraguay is a country that knows how to distinguish between good and evil.

This was demonstrated in April - when Paraguay widened its terror organization designation to include the "political" wings of Hamas, and Hezbollah.

It also designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

I commend this important step and call on other countries to follow suit.

Paraguay's moral stance has also been demonstrated in its many, many declarations of support for Israel since October 7th. 65 in total!

We are grateful for the government of Paraguay's consistent, strong, moral support.

We truly appreciate it!

***
The people of Paraguay are courageous.

Your economy is strong and growing. We believe in it.

It's no surprise that Paraguay’s projected economic growth for 2025 stands at 5.3%.

In 2023, bilateral trade between Israel and Paraguay stood at 133 million dollars.

In 2024, it grew to over 212 million.

2025 is not yet over. It has already surpassed last year’s numbers.

Israelis love Paraguayan meat. A huge majority of the export to Israel from Paraguay is meat.

My visit today is an expression of our belief in Paraguay's bright future.

I arrived today with a business delegation of senior government officials, representatives of companies, and heads of major economic organizations.

We already trade in technological and agricultural equipment.

We want to deepen our cooperation - in water technologies, advanced agriculture, cyber, renewable energy and more.
🙏182👍1🤬1
Israeli companies are expressing interest in Paraguay's market.

Our goal is to bring these companies and expand mutual investments.

I want to thank the Honorable Minister of Defense for signing the important MOU on security cooperation.

This is a clear expression of our strategic ties and mutual commitment.

Paraguay is developing major defense capabilities.

Israel's defense industry has experience and capabilities that we want to share with you.

Dear Minister, Mi Amigo,


Almost a year ago, you came to Israel with President Peña on a historic visit to open Paraguay's embassy in Jerusalem.

Today, I am repaying the visit.
I hope to host you again soon, in Jerusalem.

This is a long-term strategic partnership.

Together, Minister, we'll continue strengthening this partnership.

Muchas Gracias!"

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar:

"Paraguay is one of Israel's greatest friends in the world.
It was a true honor to address a special joint session of Paraguay's National Assembly. I thank the President of the Senate Bachi Nunez and the President of the Chamber of Deputies Raul Latorre for granting me the honor, for their friendship and for our fruitful meetings earlier today.
My visit today is an expression of our belief in Paraguay's bright future.
We will strengthen this long-term strategic partnership! 🇮🇱🇵🇾"
