Of course, Rubio, like all other American politicians, is extremely pro-Israel. He controversially supported moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

— 🇺🇸🇮🇱 NEW: Trump has selected Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel

Huckabee is so pro-Israel that he even actively encourages establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law, and almost every U.S. administration has urged Israel to stop the expansion of such settlements.

He also denied the existence of Israel's military occupation of the West Bank: 'There is no such thing as a West Bank - it's Judea and Samaria. There's no such thing as a settlements. They're communities. They're neighborhoods. They're cities. There's no such thing as an occupation.'

— 🔴 🇱🇧 Statement by the Operations Room of the Islamic Resistance regarding the field developments of the 'Uli al-Bas' (Battle of the Fierce) war, November 12:

The fighters of the Islamic Resistance continue to confront Israeli aggression in Lebanon, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy army in equipment and personnel along the front lines and deep inside occupied Palestine.

1. Land Confrontations:

– Western sector
: Due to concentrated resistance strikes, Israeli forces withdrew from most advanced towns. The 146th Division remains stagnant in Labouneh forests and east of Naqoura. No infiltration attempts have been recorded since October 28, with the enemy conducting artillery and air strikes on towns like Tyre Harfa and Al-Batishiyeh. The resistance executed over 24 operations targeting Israeli positions in Maroun al-Ra'as and 26 operations on settlements, inflicting casualties. They ambushed infiltrating forces near Maroun al-Ra'as and Ainatha, resulting in enemy casualties.

– Eastern sector:
Resistance strikes caused enemy forces to withdraw from Mays al-Jabal and surrounding towns. They targeted the 91st Division near Houla with precise missiles, causing significant damage. In Kfar Kila, attacks on Israeli bulldozers resulted in casualties among the engineering units.

2. Qualitative 'Khaybar' Operations: The Islamic Resistance has conducted 70 operations targeting 33 strategic sites up to 145 km south of Tel Aviv. The Air Force participated in 22 operations, launching over 60 drones.

3. Missile Force: The missile force has targeted enemy gatherings along the Lebanese-Palestinian border, exceeding 1,020 launches since September 17, with 125 in the past week. The first 'Fateh-110' missile was first used on November 6, striking the 'Tsrifin' base.

4. Air Force: The air force continues to target enemy sites, with over 315 operations and more than 1,000 drones launched since the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood. Of these, more than 105 operations, during which more than 300 drones were launched, have occurred from September 17 until now.

— Total Enemy Losses:

Since the ground maneuver began on October 1, Israeli losses include more than 100 dead and 1,000 wounded officers and soldiers, 43 destroyed Merkava tanks, 8 military bulldozers, 2 'Humvee' vehicles, 2 [unnamed] armored vehicles, and 2 APCs, 4 'Hermes-450' drones and 2 'Hermes-900' drones.

This tally does not include the Israeli enemy's losses in military bases, sites, barracks, settlements, and occupied cities.

5. The Islamic Resistance Operations Room confirms:

The Israeli army's move to the 'second phase' of the 'ground invasion' in southern Lebanon will result in more losses, while our fighters are prepared for a prolonged battle to defend our freedom and dignity.

Despite claims of control over border villages, our fighters have launched rocket attacks from the Lebanese-Palestinian border and engaged the enemy behind their lines. The 'Khaybar' series of operations continues at a high pace, and the enemy's intelligence and air campaigns will not halt these operations, which cause confirmed casualties and force hundreds of thousands of settlers into shelters.

— 🇺🇸 NEW: Donald Trump has selected John Ratcliffe as his CIA Director

Ratcliffe, former Director of National Intelligence, is another official with a hardline stance towards Iran, who has excessively criticized Joe Biden's handling of the conflict in the Middle East.

In one of his articles he argued that Biden's threat to withhold weapons shipments to Israel over its actions in Gaza put a key ally at risk and that the Biden administration hasn't been tough enough on Iran.
