a) Ambassador Reveals Truth About Media Coverage of Israel
Friends, 22.03.25 22:00 hours
We spent a very pleasant 5 days in Eilat last week together with another couple
and were not disturbed at all by the Houthis! It was interesting to meet the hotel’s
members of staff serving in the dining room and cleaning the rooms. All were from
Jordan and were most pleasant and efficient in their work. A member of the
management told me that 1500 Jordanians arrive at the border at Aqaba each
morning at 6:00 am and after completing the crossing get on to the buses
provided by each hotel so they are available for work from 7:00 am. Following a
full day’s work they then return to Jordan. Another member of staff told me that it
is a very successful arrangement and the harmony amongst the staff is first class.
CEASE FIRE ENDS. On Tuesday, it was clear “negotiations” were not going
anywhere with Hamas sticking to its demands that
a) The IDF withdraws totally from Gaza (arms can flow freely into Gaza)
b) There will a free flow of humanitarian aid (each shipment brings millions to
Hamas)
c) Massive supply of tents for the Gazans 9agasin providing income to Hamas)
d) A commitment to rebuild Gaza!!
e) NO commitment to release all hostages
Consequently, the IDF launched a surprise attack on the Gaza Strip after Hamas
refused to release the hostages under conditions set by Israel, the attack
consisting of 30+ airstrikes, drone strikes, and naval bombardment.
The IDF is widely and proactively attacking mid-level Hamas commanders, senior
figures in Hamas' political wing, and Hamas' terror infrastructure.
White House Spokesperson: ‘Israeli attacks are coordinated with us, all hell is
about to break loose.’ ‘Hamas could have released hostages and extended the
ceasefire, but instead chose refusal and war.’
HUMANITARIAN AID. Testifying before the UN Security Council, Eli Sharabi, a
former Israeli hostage, gave a chilling account of Hamas’s exploitation of
humanitarian aid in Gaza. He emphasized that the issue is not a lack of aid but
Hamas's systematic theft of it.
“There is no lack of aid in Gaza. Hamas is stealing it, stealing it from its own
people,” Sharabi stated. “Let me tell you as an eyewitness what happened to that

aid. Hamas stole it.” He added, “Hamas eats like kings while hostages starve,” and
reinforced that “Hamas steals from civilians.”
His powerful testimony highlights Hamas's ongoing abuse of international
assistance intended for Gazan civilians, revealing the terror group’s prioritization
of its fighters over the basic needs of the population and hostages.
ON LEAVING ISRAEL - there was a report some months ago noting that the
numbers of people leaving Israel had significantly increased over past years.
It turns out that more than half of the immigrants leaving are natives of Russia or
the Ukraine, fleeing their war, who immigrated to Israel the previous year. In
short - refugees from Ukraine and Russia who stopped here for a moment, got a
sought-after Israeli passport and absorption benefits, and then took off for their
next destination in the world. Moreover - contrary to the claim about a brain drain,
in reality the rate of qualified people among the emmigrants dropped, not soared.
