Unprecedented new look inside 'Gaza Metro' terror tunnels where Hamas plotted attacks & hostages were chained & tortured.
THE mother of extremist Alaa Abd El-Fattah appeared to back baseless claims that Hamas did not torture Israeli hostages after October 7.
Laila Soueif reposted the conspiracy theory a day before her British-Egyptian son, 44, returned to join her in the UK. He had spent years in jail in Egypt for “spreading fake news”.
But he was caught up in a row on his return over old online posts in which he called for Zionists and UK cops to be killed, and called himself a terrorist.

During his first diplomatic trip to Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar explained that, because Somaliland has operated for 35 years in accordance with international law, Israel could recognize Somaliland rather than Palestine.
"Unlike ‘Palestine’, Somaliland is not a virtual state," he said.

Pahlavi dismisses calls for US-led regime change in Iran, predicts 'Cyrus Accord' with Israel.
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said regime change will be driven by Iranians themselves, rejecting foreign military intervention and predicting closer ties with Israel after the Islamic Republic’s.
By Games Genn. January 6, 2026.
Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi does not believe that it is necessary for the US to extract Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and put him on trial for his crimes, downplaying chatter that the US military may conduct such an operation, similar to the extraction of Maduro from Caracas, Venezuela.
Pahlavi's comments came during an interview with the Wall Street Journal's Tunku Varadarajan via Zoom, published on Monday.
"I think that change in Iran is ultimately in the hands of the people of Iran themselves," he affirmed.
"Many governments have reasons to hold Khamenei accountable, but I think it will be far more appropriate for this to be solely in the hands of the Iranian people, and to have world governments be supportive" of their fight to free themselves, he added.

The Hezbollah-Venezuela Connection: What You Don't Know.
For over 20 years, Hezbollah has built a sprawling terror network on Venezuela's Margarita Island, just 1,200 miles from Florida, with training camps, drug trafficking operations, and Iranian military support under the protection of the Maduro regime.
For over two decades, Venezuela has served as a critical outpost for Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere, with reports detailing the group's entrenchment on Margarita Island and ties to the former regimes of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.
U.S. intelligence assessments and media investigations describe this presence as evolving from fundraising networks among the Lebanese diaspora in the 1980s to sophisticated operations involving training, smuggling, and financial schemes by the 2000s. Margarita Island, once a bustling tourist spot, has been highlighted as a primary hub, surpassing even the Tri-Border Area in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for Hezbollah's regional activities.
Training Camps and Iranian Support.
Allegations of Hezbollah-operated training camps on Margarita Island surfaced as early as 2011, involving paramilitary instruction for recruits from Venezuela and other Latin American countries.
These facilities reportedly include political indoctrination, weapons handling, and drug-related operations, all under the protection of the Venezuelan government. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been implicated in providing logistics, weapons, and instructors on Venezuelan territory, including collaborations with local militias known as colectivos. Some recruits have been sent to Iran, including to Qom for ideological training, or to Lebanon. Reports also note that Hezbollah operatives and fighters have relocated to Venezuela following Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Illicit Networks: Drugs, Money, and Gold.
Hezbollah's operations in Venezuela are deeply intertwined with narcoterrorism, including partnerships with the Cartel of the Suns, a network allegedly involving Venezuelan military officials, and dissident factions of Colombia's FARC. Activities include cocaine trafficking and money laundering through trade-based schemes, often utilizing duty-free zones on Margarita Island. Additionally, gold-for-arms deals have been reported, with Hezbollah and Iran exploiting Venezuela's illegal gold trade to circumvent international sanctions and finance their activities.
A key enabler of these operations has been the issuance of Venezuelan passports and identification documents. Between 2010 and 2019, more than 10,000 such documents were provided to individuals from Lebanon, Iran, and Syria, often through networks linked to the regime. Figures like former Vice President Tareck El Aissami, accused of Hezbollah connections, have been tied to this system, which provides cover for operatives using fake identities. Earlier intelligence from 2013 documented similar patterns dating back to 2008–2012.
The Nassereddine Network and Regime Ties
At the center of these activities is the Nassereddine family, a Lebanese-Venezuelan clan with deep connections. Ghazi Nassereddine, a former diplomat, and Abdallah Nassereddine, a businessman based on Margarita Island, have been accused of overseeing indoctrination, training, and smuggling operations. This network, which began under Chávez and grew under Maduro, has benefited from state protection, allowing Hezbollah to operate with relative impunity.
Strategic Implications and Proximity Concerns.
Margarita Island's location, approximately 1,200 miles from Florida, has amplified U.S. concerns, with officials labeling Venezuela not merely as a failed state but as a "staging ground" for Iranian and Hezbollah activities in the Americas. This positioning is seen as enabling potential threats through forward operations, including the use of duty-free zones and state-backed infrastructure.
After Maduro: Silence and Potential Disruption.
Following Nicolás Maduro's ouster in January 2026, Iran voiced protests, but Hezbollah has issued no public statements on the matter. Analyses suggest that the loss of regime protection could lead to the abandonment or disruption of some outposts, though entrenched networks may endure.
Pro-Venezuelan sources, including state media under the former regime, have dismissed these claims as U.S.-driven propaganda.

Aid organization attacks Israel claiming it's the third largest, COGAT: 'Provided only 0.14%'.
The 'Save the Children' organization attacked Israel following its refusal to register it in the international organizations registration mechanism at the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, claiming that "Israeli requirements harm the organization" - which it describes as "the third largest humanitarian emergency organization in the Gaza Strip providing support to 1.6 million residents in the Gaza Strip." The Coordinator of Government
Activities in the Territories (COGAT) responded that "the organization was indeed rejected. The registration process exists to prevent Hamas from exploiting aid to promote terrorism. In reality, there is a large gap between the dramatic declaration and its actual contribution. Its role amounts to less than 240 aid trucks, 0.14% of all aid that entered."

Mamdani Official: “Impoverish the White Middle Class.
"Private property is a weapon of white supremacy".
January 6, 2026. By Daniel Greenfield.
There’s no floor. No such thing as too much. Leftist politics is an endless drop shaft and as a society free falls into it, it passes gulags, generational ones (in North Korea), death camps, mass famine, genetic engineering (China) and every horror imaginable.
So the thing you think is absolutely insane turns out to be the gateway to the next house of horrors.
View the Mamdani administration in that light. The new wave of DSAers are here to implement every insane ideological work product you can imagine in New York, in Seattle and any other place they control. Then they’ll try to do it at the national level.
And here’s a preview from Cea Weaver, Mamdani’s new ‘Tenant Director”.

Bus driver rams into ultra-Orthodox protesters in Jerusalem, 14-year-old killed.
Thousands of haredi (ultra-Orthodox) protesters gathered in Israel's capital on Tuesday evening • Driver arrested after killing one, injuring three others • Shas: "Haredi blood is not cheap."
By Miriam Sela-eitam, Tobias Holcman
January 6, 2026.
Yosef Eisenthal, a 14-year-old boy, was killed, and three were injured after a bus driver ran over ultra-Orthodox Jews during a haredi draft protest in Jerusalem on Tuesday.
"We responded to a severe collision involving a bus and several pedestrians," said United Hatzalah volunteer Dr. Aryeh Yaffe. "A male pedestrian was trapped unconscious under the vehicle. Fire and Rescue personnel extracted the patient, who was unfortunately found with no signs of life and pronounced deceased at the scene."

This exemplifies Haaretz's signature incitement against the Haredim. The brazen hypocrisy of its racist worldview is unmistakable: On one hand, it whitewashes Arab racist terror as "freedom fighting," while fabricating lies to smear the IDF—brave defenders against genocidal Palestinian leaders—all to pander to global elites. On the other, it viciously hounds the Haredim, those devout Talmud scholars who largely shun weapons, demanding they join the very army it undermines.

Dan Shina, an Arabic teacher, regularly contacts individuals across the Arab world to examine how events connected to the State of Israel are presented and discussed.
This week, Shina turned his attention to a newly opened restaurant in Tripoli, Libya, whose name has sparked controversy: “October 7" - the date of Hamas’s brutal terror attack. During a conversation with a representative of the restaurant, Shina sought to determine whether the choice of name was deliberate.
According to Shina, the restaurant’s owners made it clear that they feel no shame over the name and even regard it as a source of pride, calling it “the day of happiness, the day of victory over the occupiers."
