Were Oct. 7 records altered? New allegations target Netanyahu‘s inner circle
The appeal by the October Council families follows a July 2024 report by Nadav Eyal in ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth revealing that Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Gil, Netanyahu‘s military secretary at the time of the massacre, had contacted the attorney general to express concerns that attempts had been made to alter official transcripts in the Prime Minister‘s Office during the war.
Israelis grapple with reports that Netanyahu was warned of Oct. 7 attacks years ago
(October 6, 2026)
LONSDORF: NPR has spoken to four people in the Middle East with direct knowledge of such warnings, which the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the New York Times and the Atlantic first reported, confirming much of the reporting that Netanyahu is trying to deny. The ripple effects of those reports are playing out as Israelis are preparing to head to the polls in less than three weeks.
Kidnapping Suspects Conducted Year-long Surveillance in Southern Denmark, Court Hears
(February 6, 2026)
The individual identified as the leader of the operation, a 68-year-old executive of an Israeli security firm, described in court the use of advanced monitoring techniques targeting the home of the children‘s father, Stephan Hensel.
According to court testimony, the surveillance extended beyond simple observation. The suspects allegedly installed electronic devices in the vicinity of the property as early as a year before forcibly retrieving the children. The objective of these actions was to gather information pertinent to an ongoing custody dispute between the parents.
The monitoring reportedly included both visual surveillance and attempts to intercept digital communications. The court heard that the suspects sought unauthorized access to the Hensel family‘s home network, aiming to monitor and potentially listen in on electronic traffic within the household. Despite efforts to extract information, including partial decryption of passwords, the surveillance team was unable to fully access the family‘s data.

Ex-Shin Bet chief involved in plot to kidnap German heiress’s children: Israeli media
(September 7, 2025)
The report said that the kidnappers “hit the father and dragged his 10-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter into a forest and through a stream before putting them into a car.”
“The children’s mouths were taped shut and one of them was tied up. It was also claimed that the kidnappers threatened to kill the children if they made noise,“ it added.
According to Haaretz, one of the hijackers, an Israeli, was arrested in the Greek Cypriot Administration, and extradited to Germany, where he is currently on trial.
Two other Israelis suspected of involvement have fled Germany, the daily reported.
Perry, 81, told the German court he “would agree to testify about Hanning’s role in the case if he was granted confidentiality.”

Judges reportedly warned that revealing further details could harm Germany’s security interests, prompting the decision to exclude the public and media from further sessions.
The court noted that the case now extends beyond a private family dispute and could affect diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel. Officials also discussed transferring elements of the file to national security authorities, though proceedings remain within the jurisdiction of the Hamburg court.

Durchsuchungen bei Sicherheitsunternehmen Ehemaliger BND-Präsident in Block-Verfahren verstrickt?
(September 16, 2025)
Außerdem sollen Hanning und sein Geschäftspartner gemeinsam mit Block geplant haben, „den Kindesvater und dessen familienrechtlichen Beistand durch wahrheitswidrige Vorwürfe aus dem Bereich der Pädophilie zu diskreditieren.“ Hierzu soll nach Erkenntnissen der GenStA eine Festplatte mit weit über 500 kinderpornografischen Bild- und Videodateien auf dessen Wohngelände platziert worden sein. Ein israelisches Sicherheitsunternehmen habe diese Festplatte beschafft.
(…)
Das israelische Sicherheitsunternehmen steht wiederum im Verdacht, die Kinder in der Silvesternacht 2023/2024 aus Dänemark entführt zu haben. Wegen dieser Vorwürfe findet derzeit das Strafverfahren vor dem Landgericht Hamburg statt.

Poll: 8 seats for the Joint List and a single seat separating the camps of Eizenkot and Netanyahu
The camp of Zionist parties opposing Netanyahu is projected to secure 52 seats, compared to 51 seats for Netanyahu‘s camp, along with the four seats that the Handel-Zelicha alliance is expected to obtain, which has yet to announce which camp it will join.
As for Arab representation, represented by the two Arab lists; the Triangular Joint List, which includes the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality, the National Democratic Assembly, and the Arab Movement for Change, and the United List, together they are projected to obtain 13 seats, with 8 for the Joint List and 5 for the United List.
Europas Rechte leckt Trump die Stiefel
Es zeigt sich: Immer wieder haben sich gerade jene Parteien, die behaupten, die Nation an die erste Stelle setzen zu wollen, als die eifrigsten Verräter der Interessen ihres eigenen Volkes erwiesen. Sich mit Trump und Netanjahu gut zu stellen, scheint schlichtweg wichtiger.
In diesem Sinne kuschelt sich die radikale Rechte auch eng an das liberal-konservative Establishment in den europäischen Institutionen. Tatsächlich hat sich die einstige Kluft zwischen diesen beiden Fraktionen seit Jahren stetig verringert. Die jüngsten Kriegshandlungen in Nahost machen diese Annäherung noch deutlicher sichtbar. Beide Seiten sind nur allzu gerne bereit, ihre Rolle als Untergebene in der globalen Hierarchie zu spielen.
Netanyahu’s Electoral Strategy: Deadlock
(October 2, 2026)
An AI-generated Likud campaign video, which Netanyahu himself has shared, shows Eisenkot running toward a young man wearing an “Israeli unity” shirt who resembles his son Gal, who was killed in the Gaza war. At the last moment, the young man turns away from Eisenkot to embrace Mansour Abbas, the leader of the United Arab List (Ra’am). Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana has similarly said that “Eisenkot has no coalition without Abbas.” Such messages target so-called soft-right voters who might otherwise drift toward Eisenkot.
Israeli Supreme Court overturns Joint List, Ra‘am, Cassif election ban

Israel’s top court backs barring Palestinian politician from election over article
Abu Shehadeh, a key figure in the Palestinian-majority Joint List, was disqualified from standing last month by the Central Elections Committee, a body controlled by the governing coalition.
His disqualification centred on an article he wrote in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas-led attack in southern Israel on 7 October.
The article, titled “The Al-Aqsa Flood: Preliminary Observations”, was published in Arabic by the Arab48 news outlet on 8 October 2023. It presented a preliminary analysis of the attack and its ramifications.
(…)
He also wrote that the attack showed that “Israel and its intelligence services are made up of human beings like us” and could “be prevented from penetrating our countries, parties, and political movements – if there is the will to do so and if we organise ourselves properly”.

Netanyahu meets Emirati leader in a secret weekend trip to Abu Dhabi, and other Mideast developments
Benjamin Netanyahu traveled secretly to the United Arab Emirates over the weekend to ask its leader to deny reports he’d warned the Israeli prime minister about a looming Hamas threat ahead of the Palestinian militant group’s Oct. 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel.
The meeting between Netanyahu and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan took place on Sunday, two people who were briefed on the Israeli leader’s trip confirmed on Monday.
Mossad chief joined Netanyahu on secret UAE trip; talks focused on Iran
Mossad Director Roman Gofman travelled with Netanyahu to the UAE on Sunday, according to Israel Hayom. The paper said the delegation also included Shmuel Ben Ezra, who heads the National Security Council and serves as national security adviser, a senior official from the Shin Bet‘s VIP Protection Unit, and senior members of the prime minister‘s own team. The report does not say whether any of them sat in on the meeting with Mohammed bin Zayed.
Netanyahu made a secret visit to the UAE on Sunday, source says
After initial reports of a warning from Bin Zayed, the UAE’s Foreign Ministry said earlier this month that it “does not comment on media stories or speculation regarding conversations between government leaders,” but it did not deny the call. “When necessary, all relevant intelligence has been and continues to be communicated between the relevant entities,” the statement said.
At the time, an Israeli source familiar with the matter said Netanyahu’s office tried to get the UAE to deny the report, but the UAE only agreed to issue a statement about intelligence sharing.

Israel bans Arab parties from election: Who they are, why it matters
(September 26, 2026)
Israel’s Central Elections Committee has voted to bar the country’s two main Arab-majority political lists from next month’s parliamentary election, potentially leaving Palestinian citizens of Israel without their principal representatives in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset.
The committee also voted to disqualify Ofer Cassif, a Jewish politician from the Arab-Jewish Hadash party, and Sami Abu Shehadeh, the leader of the Palestinian nationalist Balad party.
IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference
Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.
More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for ‘terror’ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.
5 Israeli opposition leaders agree to coordinate campaign to replace Netanyahu government in next month‘s elections

The meeting focused on coordinating the parties’ election efforts, attracting additional voters to the opposition bloc, and improving its chances of securing a parliamentary majority and forming the next government in place of Netanyahu’s, according to the broadcaster.
Wurde Israel von Ägypten vor Hamas-Überfall gewarnt?
Der neue Bericht beruft sich auf Regierungsvertreter in Israel, Ägypten und weiteren arabischen Ländern sowie auf Vertreter in den USA und Europa. The Atlantic schreibt, dass Ägyptens damaliger Geheimdienstchef Abbas Kamel Israel bereits elf Tage vor dem 7. Oktober vor einer drohenden Eskalation gewarnt habe. Kamel sei dafür eigens nach Israel geflogen. Sein Flugzeug habe sich 67 Minuten am Flughafen Ben Gurion aufgehalten.
Egypt’s Warning to Israel
(September 25, 2026)
Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood–aligned terrorist group that controlled Gaza, appeared to be mobilizing for a major attack, Kamel said, according to Israeli, Egyptian, Arab, U.S., and European officials who were briefed about his visit after October 7. The window to prevent a disaster was closing. He recommended that the Israeli government grant Hamas economic concessions to avert conflict. His message, according to one former Israeli official later briefed on the visit, was: If you don’t change course, Gaza is going to blow up in your faces.
Kamel didn’t provide Israeli officials with a date or specific information on what turned out to be a multipronged attack on Israel less than two weeks later, on October 7. And it’s not clear exactly with whom he met. The Egyptian plane remained on the ground in Israel for 67 minutes, according to an Israeli-airport-authority flight log, before returning to Cairo. (Independent flight-tracking applications confirm the plane’s journey.)
Netanyahu Is Said to Have Been Warned About Hamas Attack Before Oct. 7
(September 25, 2026)
Mr. Netanyahu has denied the report.
But a person who said they had spoken with Sheikh Mohammed and another person who said they had been briefed by someone on the call between the two leaders told The New York Times that the Emirati leader had secretly reported to Mr. Netanyahu that Hamas was considering a major attack.
The warning from the Emirati leader, however, never reached the leaders of Israel’s security establishment, according to five former senior Israeli officials.
‚Comprehensive closure‘: Israel to shut down all West Bank crossings, Wafa reports
Israeli forces have tightened restrictions around the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, closing roads and entrances to several towns and villages, Wafa news agency reported.
The development comes after Israeli authorities decided to impose a “comprehensive closure” on the occupied West Bank and close crossings into the territory until Saturday for the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Israeli minister calls for war in West Bank, says Israel should ‚do what it did in Gaza‘
„I certainly have solutions. I think we need to go to war in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). To do there what we did in Gaza. To dismantle the Palestinian Authority, which is a terror authority,“ he said.
Asked what war would mean, Smotrich pointed to earlier Israeli operations in West Bank refugee camps.
„We already did it. There are three refugee camps there that are empty, that we evacuated the population from for its protection and cleansed of all the terror. I want to kill all the terrorists and collect all the weapons,“ he said.
