Netanyahu at 50th anniversary for the Shomron declares: “There will be no more uprooting of settlements in the land of Israel.”
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres met with parents of Hamas captives, Avera Mangistu, Oron Shaul and Hisham Al-Sayeed. At the meeting the parents asked Guterres to personally intervene on their behalf to bring their son’s home.
The Hamas said they’re ready to negotiate for trading prisoners on the condition that those prisoners released in the Gilad Shalit deal that were recaptured because they carried out more terror attacks be released as a precondition. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman says: “The Hamas is making illogical demands.”
Abbas told Jared Kushner he would never stop paying the martyrs and prisoners salaries. He is even prepared to lose his position for this, according to the Al-Quds newspaper. He should be ‘admired’ for his dedication to death and murder and be treated accordingly.
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled that Israel cannot forcefully deport illegal infiltrators back to their countries. There is major coalition support against this decision. Prime Minister Netanyahu, Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, Interior Security Minister Gilead Erdan, Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, and Education Minister Naftali Bennett are all furious about this and all said they will work on new legislation to permit it. If the Supreme Court continues to undermine the Knesset, the Knesset will need to reevaluate the balance of power that exists and put the Supreme Court back in their place. They all called the Supreme Court decision ‘irresponsible and endangering to Israelis’.

The death toll of Tropical Storm Harvey rose to at least 8 people last night and it is estimated that up to 30,000 people are presently in shelters around Southeastern Texas. In Houston, the George R Brown convention center which was converted into a shelter already has over its 5,000 beds capacity. Witnesses say an older white man was seen swimming across flood waters by Spring Park ridge and Grand Parkway. He was under distress and the witnesses tried saving him. The currents were too fast to deploy rescuers and the witnesses assume he drowned bringing the death toll to 9.
The Marxist-Leninist Party (MLPD) decided to partner with The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to run for elections to parliament this September 24th. It is officially classified a terror organization by both the US and EU. But Germany considers them clean since they haven’t done anything wrong in Germany. (Killing Jews is not high on Germany’s list of crimes or wrongdoing if at all. Germany also chose to ignore a whole slew of crimes the organization did on German soil in the late 60’s and early 70’s.) If the group is allowed to run and gets into office the PFLP will be able to access German funding for their terrorist activities. Other German groups are denouncing the group and hopes they will be illegalized.
The Berlin Federal International Cooperation Ministry and the Berlin Municipality have jointly funded ‘humanitarian aid’ brochures and materials that are provided by the Anti –Israel Al-Haq organization that besmirch Israel and cooperate with the BDS movement according to the ‘Israel Hayom’ newspaper. They consider terrorism a legitimate act of resistance and Berlin seems to be happy with that.
Guterres reiterates: “Jerusalem is holy to the 3 religions and the Jews don’t have any special historical claim to it” Antonio Guterres said in an Israeli Channel 2 television interview. He saw no reason to rescind or denounce the UNESCO decisions these past few months denying Jewish historical claims to Jerusalem.
