๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸดโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ€” Casualty toll rises to 2 killed and 4 injured according to Israeli media.
๐ŸดโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ€” The assailant of the Kedumim bus attack, in which 3 Israelis were killed and 9 injured was an Islamic State supporter, who pledged allegiance to the group before the attack.

Ibrahim al Qanari has been arrested several times by the Israeli-backed Palestinian Authority, and his father is one of the PA officers who defected from the organizations.

Ibrahim was killed in the recent drone strike by the IDF on the Jenin camp, his brother Ahmad al Qanari was also killed by the Israeli forces in 2024.

This follows a trend of 'radicalisation' among West Bank resistance circles in which fighters are leaning towards the Islamic State, as we have seen a few months ago with the IS supporter Nidal al Amer who killed and injured about 18 IDF soldiers in an ambush in Jenin.

๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ โ€” It's worthy to note that in order for Netanyahu's government to be dismantled, both Ben Gvir's and Smotritch's parties must leave it.

๐Ÿ“If both fullfil their previous threats, this leaves Netanyahu with three options:
1) accept the previous offer by opposition leader Yair Lapid, to join the coalition under the condition of reaching a hostages exchange deal.

2) Inviting one of the Israeli-arab parties (Mansour Abbas party) to the coalition under the condition of ending the war in Gaza.

3) Continue with the war and ignoring what seems to be a Trump demand to end it.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ As the US government's TikTok ban is due to begin on Sunday, Americans are flocking to an alternative Chinese social media platform, known as RedNote or Xiaohongshu.

The platform's downloads in the United States had increased 200% year-on-year and seen a 194% uptick since last week. Since RedNote servers are in China, they are exempt from the eyes of the US government. This has caused concern among some lawmakers, who could likely propose a ban on the app.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Based on the intelligence of the average TikTok user, I donโ€™t see whatโ€™s so special in their data. Itโ€™s literally the app that popularised reels and destroyed everyoneโ€™s attention span.

Whoever dismantles the right-wing government will be remembered in disgrace forever - contrary to what Ben-Gvir said, the current agreement allows Israel to return to fighting with an American guarantee, obtain the weapons and means of combat it needs, make the most of the number of living hostages that will be released, maintain full control over the Philadelphi corridor and the security zone surrounding the Gaza Strip, and achieve major security achievements that will ensure Israel's security for generations.
