Two Israelis killed in the occupied West Bank

by
Israelis
  • A Palestinian shooter killed two Israelis in their car.
  • The latest deaths occurred during negotiations in Jordan.
  • The attackers made no quick claim of responsibility.

West Bank: In the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian shooter killed two Israelis in their car, inciting rioting in which a Palestinian man was shot dead and Israeli settlers set fire to homes in Palestinian towns.

The latest deaths occurred during negotiations in Jordan to confront the escalating violence in the occupied area, and just days after Israeli soldiers carried out their deadliest operation on the occupied West Bank in over 20 years, killing 11 Palestinians in the city of Nablus.

The attack on the two settlers, brothers in their twenties from a settlement approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) away, took place on the major road in Hawara, just south of Nablus, on Sunday.

“Two Israeli civilians were killed in a Palestinian terror incident,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated in a joint statement on Sunday.

The attackers made no quick claim of responsibility.

Israeli media reported skirmishes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers near Hawara late on Sunday. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Israelis “set fire to several Palestinian-owned houses” in villages around Nablus.

The attack on the two settlers, brothers in their twenties from a settlement approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) away, took place on the major road in Hawara, just south of Nablus, on Sunday.

“Two Israeli civilians were killed in a Palestinian terror attack,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated in a joint statement on Sunday. The attackers made no quick claim of responsibility.

Israeli media reported skirmishes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers near Hawara late on Sunday. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Israelis “set fire to several Palestinian-owned houses” in villages around Nablus.

According to the Palestinian health ministry, a settler shot and killed a 37-year-old Palestinian in Zaatara village near Nablus.

The Israeli army did not immediately respond, but it did say it had evacuated scores of Palestinians from their homes in Hawara due to fire danger.

According to Ghassan Daghlas, the person in charge of anti-settlement operations, several Palestinian homes and 15 automobiles were set on fire.

“forceful condemnation” was delivered by Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

“Taking the law into one’s own hands, rioting, and committing violence against innocents  – this is not our way,” Herzog added.

According to the Palestinian Red Cross, 98 persons were treated, the majority of them were injured by tear gas, while Israeli emergency services recorded three Israelis injured after being hit by stones.

In a video published by his office, Netanyahu urged calm.

“I ask — even when the blood is boiling — not to take the law into one’s hands,” Netanyahu said, calling for the security forces to “be allowed to carry out their work”.

The Palestinian Authority’s office accused Israel of “protecting terrorist acts perpetrated by settlers” in the occupied West Bank.

Jordan will host Palestinian-Israeli talks as the conflict escalates

by
Jordan
  • Jordan to hold a “political-security” meeting between Israel and Palestine.
  • The political-security meeting is part of stepped-up ongoing efforts by Jordan.
  • The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed the lives of 62 Palestinian adults and children since the beginning of this year.

Jordan will on Sunday host a “political-security” meeting between Israel and the Palestinians to attempt and restore peace to the occupied Palestinian territories amid fatal violence, a Jordanian government official said.

Representatives from the United States and Egypt will also attend the meeting in the Red Sea resort of Aqaba.

It aims at “building trust” between Israel and the Palestinians.

The talks will take place after 11 Palestinians were killed and over 80 were injured in a fire battle on Wednesday when Israeli troops raided the West Bank city of Nablus, which Israel has occupied since the 1967 Six-Day War.

The death toll was the greatest since the end of the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising, in 2005, the year the UN began counting casualties.

Intensifying unrest this year has raised international concern, following the worst violence in the West Bank since UN records began in 2022.

“The political-security meeting is part of stepped-up ongoing efforts by Jordan in coordination with the Palestinian Authority and other parties to end unilateral measures (by Israel) and a security breakdown that could fuel more violence,” the Jordanian government official said.

The negotiations aim to achieve “security and economic measures to alleviate the hardships of the Palestinian people,” according to the official.

Jordan, like Egypt, is bound by an agreement with Israel.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed the lives of 62 Palestinian adults and children since the beginning of this year.

According to calculations based on official sources from both sides, nine Israeli civilians, including three children, a police officer, and one Ukrainian civilian, were murdered during the same period.

Wednesday’s raid was the latest in a series of deadly Israeli military operations in the West Bank. Israel is led by a new coalition government that is widely regarded as the most right-wing in the country’s history.

The negotiations aim to achieve “security and economic measures to alleviate the hardships of the Palestinian people,” according to the official.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, who assumed office in January,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was re-elected in December, visited Amman in January for a rare meeting with King Abdullah II.

Jordan’s support for a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians to end the decades-long conflict was also underlined by Abdullah.

Jordan: 2 missing brothers found dead with bullet wounds

by
Texas
  • Both the brothers disappeared in the Basria neighborhood.
  • They both left their home on Friday with their flock of sheep.
  • Both the victims were found dead by a group of security personnel.

Jordan: Two missing brothers were discovered dead one day after their enigmatic disappearance in the Basira neighborhood of the Tafilah Governorate, 183 kilometers southwest of Amman, the capital of Jordan.

Omar Suleiman Al Mazaydeh, 34, and his brother Ayman, 24, are shepherds who, according to local media accounts, left their home on Friday with their flock of sheep and never returned.

The sheep returned to their barn by themselves, which is what prompted the family to contact the police the same day the sheep vanished.

The remains of the siblings, who had been shot in the head, were discovered by a group of security personnel. To ascertain the cause of the deaths, the forensic department was consulted on the bodies.

According to the victim’s brother, his brothers passed away.

The victim’s brother told the media that his brothers’ deaths were caused by head wounds from gunshots. According to the Public Security Directorate’s spokeswoman, their death was under investigation for a crime.

A team of experts has been formed to investigate the case.

Al-Aqsa mosque: Jordan’s King Abdullah meets Netanyahu

by
Al-Aqsa
  • This is Netanyahu’s first trip to Jordan and his first meeting with King Abdullah since June 2018.
  • Jordan’s ambassador also paid a visit to the mosque.
  • King Abdullah stressed the importance of maintaining calm and ceasing all acts of violence.

Al-Aqsa: Jordan’s King Abdullah met Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Amman on Tuesday, according to a statement from Jordan’s Royal Hashemite Court, amid rising diplomatic tensions over the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem.

An Israeli delegation as well as several Jordanian officials, including Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, attended the meeting on Tuesday. After its envoy Ghassan Majali was barred from entering the mosque on January 17, Amman summoned the Israeli ambassador.

Jordan’s ambassador paid a visit to the mosque after the extreme right-wing Israeli Minister for National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, stormed the compound, which is Islam’s third holiest site, drawing condemnation from the Muslim world. It was dubbed “an unprecedented provocation” by Palestinians.

The Jordan-based Jerusalem Waqf is the sole authority in charge of overseeing Jerusalem’s holy sites, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

King Abdullah “emphasized the importance of respecting the historical and legal status quo in Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif,” according to the statement.

The compound’s status quo has been threatened by right-wing Jewish groups’ repeated (and often successful) attempts to enter the esplanade.

Jews are not permitted to pray at the site; however, some far-right Israelis have been calling for a change in the religious status quo and want to be allowed to pray at the Al-Aqsa compound.

The site also contains the iconic golden Dome of the Rock, which Muslims refer to as the Noble Sanctuary (al-Haram al-Sharif) and Jews refer to as the Temple Mount.

“King Abdullah stressed the importance of maintaining calm and ceasing all acts of violence in order to pave the way for a political horizon for the peace process, calling for an end to any measures that could undermine peace prospects,” the statement continued.

The king reaffirmed Jordan’s support for a two-state solution that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 border lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living in peace and security alongside Israel.

In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel captured East Jerusalem and later annexed it, a move that was widely condemned by the international community.

“Discussions also covered bilateral ties and the importance of the Palestinian people benefiting from economic and regional projects,” according to the statement.

 

This is Netanyahu’s first trip to Jordan and his first meeting with King Abdullah since June 2018.

This is also Netanyahu’s first foreign trip since their re-election as Prime Minister in December.

“The two leaders discussed regional issues, particularly strategic, security, and economic cooperation between Israel and Jordan, which contributes to regional stability,” according to a statement from Netanyahu’s office.

 

Today, I had a meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah. We discussed regional issues, emphasizing Israel and Jordan’s strategic, security, and economic cooperation, which contributes to regional stability.

“They also praised Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom’s long-standing friendship and partnership,” the statement added.
