Urge Senators to Sanction the ICC for its Lawfare Against Israel!

Elon Musk reposted Bibi’s message regarding the ICC warrants. This is leadership.

Tonight they once again published false and trending propaganda on News 12.
This is a recycling of baseless lies that have been refuted in the past, and which are intended to discredit Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is leading Israel to unprecedented achievements on seven fronts.

Contrary to what was claimed - Israel already had the ability to attack Iran's nuclear facilities in 2018. The claim about Soleimani is false.

Contrary to what is claimed - before the war, no Hamas plan for a mass raid on Israeli territory was presented to the Prime Minister (the "Wall of Jericho" plan was presented to him only after the outbreak of the war).

Contrary to what is claimed - the Prime Minister is the one who led the thwarting of the seniors when he extended the "Wall Guard" operation by a week in an attempt to eliminate Muhammad Daf, and when he pushed for the successful elimination of Baha Abu al-Ata in November 2019.

Contrary to what has been claimed - the assessment of intelligence officials, including a few days before the outbreak of the war, was that Hamas is deterred, is not interested in war, and that it can be encouraged into long-term peace through economic permutations.

Contrary to what was claimed - the Qatari grant was transferred to Gaza for targeted needs such as payments to officials, needy families and electricity, and no information ever came that this funding was used for terrorism.

Contrary to what was claimed - the intelligence assessment was that a ground raid by Hamas would number at most dozens of operatives in several locations, while the main threat is from an underground raid from penetrating tunnels which the Prime Minister completely thwarted when he insisted, contrary to the opinion of security officials, to build the underground barrier.

*No attempt to rewrite history will change the facts.*

Pierre Poliab, the leader of the opposition in Canada and the leading candidate for the Prime Ministership, attacked the incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his statement regarding his commitment to comply with the Hague Court's arrest warrant for Netanyahu: "He wants to arrest the Prime Minister of Israel, an elected democratic leader whose country is under attack By terrorists and dictators and not the leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, this is an example of how radical he is and how extreme he is his wok agenda.

Senator Lindsey Graham on Fox News:

“To Canada, Britain, Germany, France, or any of our allies, if you try to help the ICC, we are gonna sanction you. We will crush your economy, because we are next.”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING:

Viktor Orban has sent Netanyahu a letter with an invitation to Hungary to show the world that Budapest opposes the ICC’s arrest warrant against Netanyahu.

In the "Chabad Updates" group they wrote: A horrific tragedy in Lubavitch Chabad chassidism. The security forces in the United Arab Emirates located the body of the holy emissary Zvi Kogan, a resident of Abu Dhabi, who was the manager of the kosher supermarket "Pomegranate" in Dubai, after he was kidnapped and murdered by a terrorist squad.

Defense Minister Israel Katz:

The murder of the late Chabad emissary Zvi Kogan in the Emirates is a cowardly and despicable anti-Semitic terrorist crime.

The State of Israel will not rest or remain silent until those responsible for this criminal act pay for their actions.

I send my deepest condolences to the Kogan family in their difficult time, and strengthen the hands of all involved in the investigation and the pursuit of justice.

'Hamas is under pressure': Security official says potential hostage deal closer than ever

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

I would like to express deep shock - in my name, in the name of all the members of the government, in the name of the citizens of Israel and in the name of the entire people of Israel - at the kidnapping and murder of the late Zvi Kogan, may God bless his blood.

This murder was committed in the United Arab Emirates. The murder of an Israeli citizen and Chabad emissary is a criminal anti-Semitic terrorist attack.

I also send my heartfelt condolences to the Kogan family on your behalf. The State of Israel will act by all means, and bring justice to the murderers and their senders. None of them will be cleaned.

I greatly appreciate the cooperation with the United Arab Emirates in the investigation of the murder. We will strengthen the ties between us precisely in the face of the attempts of the axis of evil to damage the peaceful relations between us. We will strengthen them, and we will also work to expand stability in the region.

WATCH: Damage from a Hezbollah rocket fired from Lebanon that impacted in Petah Tikva, central Israel.😠

The deputy head of Hezbollah's political council: "Netanyahu will not be able to impose his terms under fire and today's attacks are proof of that. This is a translation of the equation attacking Tel Aviv against an attack in Beirut

IAF is currently attacking Beirut 🔥🔥

Earlier today the IDF attacked Hezbollah military headquarters that were hidden inside civilian buildings in Dahiya in Beirut.
