Trump stirred controversy in several off-script moments in his address to the Israeli Knesset, including spotlighting a top pro-Israel donor

Israel has already exercised de facto control over the West Bank since 1967. Yet, the move is perceived as a green light for legalizing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by forcibly displacing them and annexing the remainder of their home land.

The Israeli occupation’s systematic crackdown on press freedom continues with the suspension of media outlets, while Palestinian journalists have also been widely subjected to killing and detention.

As the war enters its 109th day, the death toll in Gaza stands at nearly 25,500 Palestinians killed, along with close to 63,500 injured

The proposed law will allow illegal settlers to rebuild and re-occupy settlements in the occupied West Bank dismantled in 2005 as a part of Israel’s so-called unilateral Disengagement plan

The bill mandates the death penalty in cases where an Israeli citizen is killed in a ‘terrorist act’ by a Palestinian, but will not apply to an Israeli citizen committing the same crime against a Palestinian. Israel classifies resistance acts against its occupation as terrorism

According to a new law passed in the Knesset, Israeli citizens and residents of occupied East Jerusalem convicted of acts of “terrorism” will be stripped of their citizenship and deported. The law applies to only those receiving support from the Palestinian Authority implying that only Arab citizens of Israel come under its ambit

The dissolution of the Knesset will lead to automatic extension of the controversial settlers’ law for next six months. The government had failed to get approval for its extension earlier this month

The resignation of Idit Silman, whip of the Yamina party, has led to a tie in the 120-member Knesset between the eight-party ruling alliance led by Bennett and the opposition

Despite opposition from some of its coalition partners, the Israeli government headed by Naftali Bennett re-introduced the Citizenship and Entry into Israel bill, which had expired last year due to lack of majority support in the parliament

Critics argue that in the name of fighting rising crime rates within the Arab community, Israel is legalizing discrimination against Arab citizens. Recently, the policy of indefinite detention. so far followed only in the occupied territories, was extended to Arab citizens of Israel

In the results announced today, no party or coalition, even after the fourth election in two years, has reached the majority mark of 61 seats in the 120 member Israeli parliament Knesset
