Jordan News7 hours ago
A heated exchange erupted on the platform X between British broadcaster Piers Morgan and Yair Netanyahu, the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The clash escalated into a war of words filled with personal and political accusations, drawing widespread engagement from users. اضافة اعلان Interview request sparks unexpected backlash The confrontation began when Morgan, host of Piers Morgan Uncensored, asked Yair Netanyahu to help arrange a televised interview with his father following the October 7, 2023, attacks. However, instead of a positive response, Yair launched a counterattack, accusing Morgan of "promoting extremist rhetoric" and "overlooking antisemitism." Explosive remarks and provocative comparisons In a surprising escalation, Yair likened Morgan's show to a 'Nazi version of the Jerry Springer Show,' accusing him of bias against Israel and of hosting 'voices supportive of terrorism,' as he put it. Morgan immediately responded, inviting Yair onto the program to defend his views, calling him 'mentally unbalanced.' Accusations grow: from 'cowardice' to the 'Holocaust' Yair declined the invitation, accusing Morgan of silencing pro-Israel voices and referencing a previous incident involving legal expert Natasha Hausdorff. In response, Morgan mocked Yair for 'dodging' the confrontation and labeled him a 'coward.' The dispute intensified when Yair accused the West of 'historic complicity' during the Holocaust and linked current criticism of Israel to what he called 'Britain's colonial legacy.' Widespread reaction and criticism of Yair The clash generated thousands of interactions and comments, with many users sharply criticizing Yair Netanyahu—accusing him of avoiding military service and living a luxurious life in Florida while Israel faces growing security challenges. Two controversial figures Yair Netanyahu is known for his outspoken comments and fierce defense of his father, often stirring controversy on social media.
Piers Morgan, meanwhile, is famous for his provocative style and for hosting guests from across the political spectrum—making him a controversial figure in his own right.

Netanyahu decides to fully occupy Gaza: Hebrew media

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu told his government's ministers he decided to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, according to reports by Hebrew media. Netanyahu used the term 'occupation of the Strip' in private conversations with the ministers, while outlining his vision for expanding military operations in Gaza. The 'Israeli' military will also start operating in areas where it hasn't done so previously, including areas where captives are known to be held, according to a senior official close to Netanyahu cited by Yedioth Ahronoth. 'There will be operations even in areas where hostages are being held,' the official said. 'The die is cast — we are going for a full occupation of the Gaza Strip,' he added. The 'Israeli' military currently controls 75% of the Gaza Strip, and under Netanyahu's plan, it is expected to occupy the entirety of the Strip. US President Donald Trump gave the greenlight for Netanyahu to proceed with the plan, after the ceasefire talks reached a deadlock, the report by YNET adds.

Israeli FM: We Will Not End Gaza War on Hamas' Terms - Jordan News

Israeli FM: We Will Not End Gaza War on Hamas' Terms Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar asserted Monday that Israel will not end the war in Gaza under conditions set by Hamas, emphasizing that the return of all captives held in the Strip must occur unconditionally. اضافة اعلان Speaking at a press conference, Sa'ar stated: 'Hamas is trying to impose terms aimed at ensuring its continued rule over Gaza—this is categorically unacceptable. We will not conclude the war based on Hamas' demands.' He reiterated Israel's goal of ending the war and securing the release of all captives, while favoring diplomatic solutions over prolonged military conflict. Sa'ar acknowledged ongoing U.S. efforts to develop a post-war framework for Gaza and said that Israel is closely coordinating with Washington on this matter. He noted that the U.S. intends to step up efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with active coordination underway. The Israeli minister also criticized positions taken by countries such as France, Canada, and the UK, arguing their actions amounted to 'rewarding Hamas' and prolonging the conflict. He urged these nations to 'understand the consequences of their behavior,' characterizing their recent decisions as indirect support for Hamas. Sa'ar accused the group of terrorizing Palestinian civilians and using them as human shields, reiterating: 'There is no place for Hamas in the future of Gaza unless it disarms and abandons its militant path.' He concluded by affirming Israel's condemnation of terrorism everywhere.

Israeli settlers continue to obstruct Jordanian aid convoys bound for Gaza

AMMAN — Minister of Government Communication Mohammad Momani said Monday that Israeli settlers continue to obstruct humanitarian aid trucks sent from Jordan to the war-torn Gaza Strip. Momani said in a press statement that several aid convoys have been targeted, with the latest incident occurring on Sunday. 'Several Jordanian aid trucks were intercepted and prevented from continuing their journey to Gaza,' he said, adding that a number of trucks were forced to turn back. 'These are not isolated events. Settlers have repeatedly attacked Jordanian aid convoys, damaging vehicles and disrupting the delivery of humanitarian supplies [to Gaza],' Momani said. He added that settlers gathered on public roads, blocked the movement of the trucks, and disabled at least four vehicles by throwing sharp objects on the road, causing tire blowouts. Momani called on Israeli authorities to take 'serious and immediate action' to stop the assaults and 'acts of looting' targeting aid shipments. 'There have been cases of looting and a lack of protection for the convoys. This chaos is preventing the organised and timely delivery of essential relief materials to those who need them most.' The minister criticised the growing logistical and bureaucratic hurdles at Israeli checkpoints, including arbitrary inspection procedures, unnecessary delays, newly imposed customs fees, and restrictions on the number of trucks allowed to pass. 'Some trucks were even turned back under the pretext that working hours had ended.' He stressed that the repeated nature of these incidents requires decisive intervention by Israeli authorities to uphold international agreements and ensure the safe passage of humanitarian aid.
