    U.S. House Speaker Backs Annexation of West Bank by Israeli Regime

    While ⁢the⁣ international community strongly opposes ⁤the recent Israeli plan to fully annex the West Bank, ⁢the Speaker of the U.S. House‌ of Representatives ⁣claimed that the West Bank belongs to the Jewish people.

    According to webangah News ⁤Agency quoting Times​ of Israel, Mike Johnson,‍ Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, who is visiting the ⁤occupied Palestinian territories, expressed support for israel’s plan to annex the ⁣West Bank and asserted that this ⁢area rightfully belongs to Jews.

    He is among the highest-ranking American officials ever to⁣ visit an Israeli settlement in the West Bank.

    A statement from ​Ariel municipality said that during his visit Johnson remarked: “Every inch of this land is valuable and important to us. This region ‍is an inseparable part ⁢of our religious beliefs ‌and therefore holds special importance… We stand fully​ with you.”

    The U.S. Speaker also claimed:⁢ “According to biblical teachings,Judea and Samaria were promised to the Jewish people,and these lands rightfully ⁤belong to‌ them. However, many around the world view these areas differently‌ and refer to them⁣ as either ‘the west‌ Bank’ or ‘the occupied territories.’”

    Johnson’s assertion⁤ comes as numerous countries have recently moved toward recognizing an independent Palestinian state-a advancement‍ that has sparked intense anger among Israeli leaders and Washington officials.

    Meanwhile, Israel’s plan ‍to annex parts of the ⁤West Bank has drawn ⁣widespread international condemnation from various states ⁢and global ‍bodies. Many consider this action‍ a violation of international law and UN​ resolutions.

  • Exile to “Cyprus”: New American-Zionist Conspiracy Against the Oppressed People of Gaza

    Exile to “Cyprus”: New American-Zionist Conspiracy Against the Oppressed People of Gaza

    The proposal to temporarily resettle Gaza refugees in Cyprus reveals coordination between Trump and Netanyahu aimed at undermining​ the identity and⁢ demographic structure of gaza.

    webangah news Agency, International Desk: Amid heartbreaking⁢ images showing thousands of⁣ Gaza’s children ⁤suffering ⁤from hunger and disease, covert intelligence and​ security teams⁣ from the ​United States and Israel have initiated new conspiracies targeting Gaza.One such scheme involves a ‍proposal by the so-called “Gaza⁣ Humanitarian Foundation” (GHF) to relocate Palestinian refugees to the island of Cyprus. The foundation’s core members include officers from both Mossad and CIA.​ It​ suggests‌ that as ‌part of a $2 billion plan for the “temporary” resettlement of‌ Palestinian refugees ​during Gaza’s reconstruction, Cyprus⁢ could serve as a “humanitarian transit zone.”

    Even though GHF has officially denied these claims,⁢ Reuters reported that such discussions are ⁢underway with the primary objective being to find ‌an option method to control hamas’s influence over Gaza’s population-effectively creating‍ distance between‍ Palestinians and their resistance fighters.‌ The Washington Post also revealed that GHF has even entered negotiations regarding residential complexes for Palestinian​ civilians. These revelations hark back ‌to Donald⁢ Trump’s public statement on February 4 when he declared America’s intent to resettle Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinians elsewhere in order to bring this war-torn​ region under external control⁤ for reconstruction.

    Irrespective of what hidden agendas this insidious plan holds against Gaza’s demographic identity, even American analysts reject it as perilous. Michael rubin, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, warned about Trump’s unpredictable behavior, stating: “cyprus has a long history as a hub for humanitarian aid but⁢ must resist any Washington pressure to settle ⁤Palestinian refugees there-even temporarily.”

    Rubin emphasized that ⁣Cyprus’s economy depends heavily on tourism; ‍if unemployed or underemployed Palestinians begin harassing women or tourists, it​ would damage Cyprus’ long-term ‍reputation severely. Individual attacks on Israeli, American, or European tourists by Palestinians ​would be catastrophic for its tourism sector.

    Currently many American and European commentators openly acknowledge that civilians in Gaza-especially women and children-are being deliberately targeted by Netanyahu-led forces at risk of⁣ death amid alleged war crimes.

    The⁤ Cyprus Issue Extends Beyond Gaza Refugees

    Israel’s efforts to deepen ‍security and military ties with Cyprus and Greece form part of its strategic goals exploiting Cyprus’s geopolitical location while planning unilateral extraction rights over Eastern Mediterranean energy resources. According to reports from Washington-based Jewish Hellas Magazine, ‌Netanyahu’s focus on Cyprus recalls historical instances‍ where Jews fleeing Europe used it as shelter-a secure passageway in times past.

    Now Israel aims to use reconstruction efforts in Gaza as justification for deporting parts of‌ its population permanently to Cyprus. this⁣ is despite Gazans having lived prior even before war or famine conditions within what Western analysts widely term “the largest open-air prison​ worldwide.” Given they aren’t under constant ​sniper fire or attacks by ​Israeli units ⁣now either-they could⁣ remain there amid harsh conditions yet eventually rebuild their home.

    Forced Displacement Masked as Humanitarian ⁢Aid

    The encouragement for Palestinians leaving their homeland is not new but recent years have seen‌ extremists ⁢like Itamar ben-Gvir (Israel’s ⁢Interior‌ Minister)‌ and Bezalel Smotrich (Finance Minister) vocally promote such ideas⁣ more aggressively than ‌others. Especially Ben-Gvir has repeatedly claimed that​ evacuating ⁤Palestinians from Gaza is necessary⁣ for Israel’s security-that peace will follow‍ after their departure!

    Smotrich‍ also ‌noted‍ Netanyahu himself is reportedly exploring proposals with⁤ advisors considering relocating Gazans wherever countries may accept them-a supposed solution ending⁢ ongoing conflicts. However international observers-including Palestinians’ advocates-condemn these proposals ⁤as rhetoric designed solely toward forced displacement.

    The GHF plan refers explicitly only some Gazans staying locally while most are transferred into six large refugee camps across Cyprus and Egypt. History shows however how past displacements turned into involuntary ⁢permanent residence-for example among populations stranded indefinitely within Lebanon, Jordan, or Syria without secure⁢ paths home.

    Palestinians’ five Decades of Displacement

    An overview based on data from the United Nations Relief & Works ‌Agency​ for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) shows⁤ nearly 5.9 million registered Palestinian refugees living across Jordan ,Lebanon ,Syria , and other regions by mid-2023⁣ . These‍ figures rely solely ‌on voluntary registration;⁤ actual numbers may be higher .

    < p s t y l e = " t e x t - a l i g n : j u s t i f y " > Report No‌ .163 published by UNRWA  in May 2025 confirms approximately⁤ 1.9 million people – nearly 90% of gaza ‘s population – were displaced multiple​ times during ongoing conflicts within just one month .

    < p s tyle=" text- align : justify " >

    Human Rights Watch‍ describes these displacements as widespread , systematic , effectively forced migration , amounting them ⁤per Rome Statute criteria constituting war crimes .

    < p s tyle=" text- align : justify " >

    this scale – one ⁤fo ⁢r th e‌ m⁢ os t massive internal dislocations since ‌modern ⁤history – highlights humanitarian crises faced by countless people deprived ⁣minimal emergency services‍ or infrastructure .

    < p s tyle=" text- align : justify " >

    Meanwhile authorities across Egypt ,
    Jordan ,
    Arab League,
    and
    Palestinian Authority
    have ⁤issued declarations condemning all settlement‍ relocation plans declaring them violations international law tantamount ethnic⁣ cleansing.

    < p s tyle="te xt-alig n:j ustify" >

    Palestinian rights activists warn such forced relocations threaten uprooting entire communities destroying societal⁣ networks undermining right return protected ​UN General Assembly Resolution194.

  • Senior Hamas Official: Israeli Threats to Assassinate Our Leaders Are Worthless

    Senior Hamas Official: Israeli Threats to Assassinate Our Leaders Are Worthless

    A senior Hamas official ‌responded to⁢ Israeli threats to assassinate resistance leaders,‌ dismissing them as⁢ worthless.

    According to the English‌ section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, Hesham ‍Badran, a member ​of Hamas’s political bureau, told al Jazeera Mubasher that Israel’s ⁤repeated ⁣threats to kill‌ Hamas leaders inside Gaza or abroad are meaningless.

    He ‌added that these threats do not influence​ their ⁣decisions.

    Badran described Israel’s ruling structure as one governed by criminals wiht no regard for any laws.

    He continued‍ that the occupiers persist in⁣ their crimes and emphasized their goal is to⁤ end the ongoing war and brutal aggression against their⁣ peopel.

    Regarding negotiations, he ⁢stated that‍ after reaching understandings agreed upon by mediators, israel withdrew from ⁢the last round of talks.

    Currently, no delegation is negotiating. though, communications with mediators continue while ​the ball ​remains in israel’s and america’s court.

    The senior Hamas official⁢ noted that only‌ Israel and the United States are consulting each other without⁢ presenting new ⁤proposals. The​ recent proposals were reasonable, he said.

    On the resistance’s weaponry, Badran stressed ‍these arms belong to all Palestinian factions and⁣ people-not solely Hamas-and framing ‍it as an⁣ internal Palestinian matter.

    He explained that ⁢if Palestinians were granted a fully sovereign independent state,then resistance weapons could become part of its army and defense structure.

    Badran‍ affirmed that “resistance weapons will remain until‍ occupation ends and an independent Palestinian state is established.” He ‍added claims about these weapons are ‍merely attempts to deceive public opinion and distort reality. The ongoing settler crimes in the West Bank​ testify to this deception.

    He said that everything currently reaching Gaza is inadequate‍ and widespread hunger⁣ prevails in the region.

    Haq criticized israel’s role, stating that‌ the main⁢ problem lies⁣ in Israel’s full control over all border crossings​ and checkpoints.

    He described inspections for humanitarian aid entry as extremely difficult and time-consuming. The inspection processes at⁣ the⁣ two crossings authorized ⁤for⁣ aid delivery⁣ are⁢ complex and lengthy.

    Farhan Haq called for a return to the previous UN mechanism for distributing aid‌ inside Gaza. He emphasized, “We need to ⁢revert to the distribution network formerly ​managed by the United Nations.”

    He ⁤concluded by ⁤stressing that aid ‍must again be distributed ⁤via trucks entering Gaza through land‌ crossings.
