Re: Prime Minister Netanyahu's Letter Signing Charter of Board of Peace: Concerns by Dr. Yair Ansbacher

Bsd

This is a translation of Dr. Yair Ansbacher FB post in Hebrew stating his concerns to Prime Minister signing and becoming a Member agreeing to the Charter of the Board of Peace. In his FB post there is a picture of the letter signed by Prime Minister Netanyahu signing the Charter of the Board of Peace. Search יאיר אנסבכר on FB of this link doesn't work. 

Dr. Yair Ansbacher: re: Prime Minister Netanyahu'sLetter to Marco Rubio! 
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CHoSKWj3m/

Unfortunately as I mentioned this fb link doesn't work consistently 🤔so here is another link to PM Netanyahu's letter: 



Dr. Ansbacher writes: (see original in Hebrew that follows):

This document is supposed to shake the State of Israel.

I will translate here for our friend Smotrich:

Netanyahu signs here on his own behalf (was there a cabinet? was there a discussion? was there approval from anyone other than himself?) 

On a final abandonment of Gaza. (See Charter) ( footnote 1 has link of the full wording of the Charter)

And in exchange for participating in the Peace conference with Qatar, Turkey along with other members  who cherish Zion, PM Netanyahu renounces on behalf of all of us any Israeli connection to Gaza.

At your request, translation:

"The document you have presented is an official letter sent from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on January 19, 2026."

The following is an analysis of the legal meaning of the language in the document and its possible implications for Israel's position in Gaza:

1. Consent to be Bound

The central sentence in the document states that the signature "constitutes the consent of the State of Israel to be bound by the Charter."

* According to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, this is the strongest legal declaration in existence. It turns the "Charter of the Board of Peace" into a binding contractual obligation of the State of Israel vis-à-vis the International community.

* From this moment on, any action by Israel that contradicts the terms of the Charter will be considered a violation of International Law.

 2. Bypassing Ratification Mechanisms (Definitive Signature)

Netanyahu explicitly states that the signature is "definitive" and not subject to ratification.

* Meaning: Typically, significant political and security agreements require government approval and often presentation or approval by the Knesset.

* By choosing the term "Definitive Signature", the Prime Minister is trying to establish a fait accompli according to which the treaty enters into force immediately without the need for additional parliamentary procedures in Israel.

3. The Legal Connection to Israel's Occupation of Gaza

Although the word "Gaza" does not appear in the text, the term "Board of Peace" in the context of January 2026 suggests the establishment of a new management mechanism.  The legal significance for Gaza depends on the content of the treaty itself:

* Transfer of Sovereignty /Administration:

 Since the treaty states that the "Peace Council" is the supervisory or administrative body of the Gaza Strip, this letter constitutes Israel's formal renunciation of exclusive control over the territory.

* Change of "Belligerent Occupation" Status:

 If Israel is currently defined as an "Occupying Power", signing such a treaty could change its legal status to a state operating under an International or regional mandate, which changes its obligations under the Geneva Convention.

* Restriction of military freedom of action:

 If the treaty includes disarmament or supervision clauses, Israel loses the legal right to act unilaterally in Gaza, and any future action would have to receive the approval of the "Council".

Summary and Conclusions

From a legal perspective, this document is the **"smoking gun"** that binds Israel to a new and irreversible International obligation.  It shifts the discussion of Gaza's future from the domestic political level in Israel (Knesset and Cabinet) to the International legal level that is binding on the United States and the signatories to the treaty.

> Important note: If this document does indeed bypass Knesset approval on critical territorial or security issues, it may face legal challenge in the High Court of Justice on the grounds of ultra vires, which means exceeding its authority..
Would you like me to check whether there are legal precedents in Israel for signing International treaties without Knesset approval?


Original Hebrew:

המסמך הזה אמור להרעיד את מדינת ישראל 
אני אתרגם כאן בשביל ידידנו סמוטריץ:

נתניהו חותם כאן מטעם עצמו ( היה קבינט? היה דיון ? היה אישור של מישהו אחר חוץ ממנו?) 

על כתב ויתור סופי על עזה (צ'ארטר) 
ובתמורה להשתתפות בועידת השלום עם קטאר טורקיה ויתר החובבי ציון, הוא מוותר בשם כולנו על כל זיקה ישראלית לעזה.

לבקשתכם, תרגום מגמיני:

המסמך שהצגת הוא מכתב רשמי שנשלח מראש ממשלת ישראל, בנימין נתניהו, למזכיר המדינה האמריקאי, מרקו רוביו, בתאריך 19 בינואר 2026.
להלן ניתוח המשמעות המשפטית של השפה המופיעה במסמך והשלכותיה האפשריות על מעמדה של ישראל בעזה:
1. הסכמה מחייבת במישור הבינלאומי (Consent to be Bound)
המשפט המרכזי במסמך קובע כי החתימה "מהווה את הסכמתה של מדינת ישראל להיות מחויבת לאמנה" (constitutes the consent of the State of Israel to be bound by the Charter).
 * לפי אמנת וינה בדבר דיני אמנות, זוהי ההצהרה המשפטית החזקה ביותר שקיימת. היא הופכת את ה"אמנה של מועצת השלום" (Charter of the Board of Peace) להתחייבות חוזית מחייבת של מדינת ישראל מול הקהילה הבינלאומית.
 * מרגע זה, כל פעולה של ישראל שסותרת את תנאי האמנה תיחשב כהפרה של המשפט הבינלאומי.
2. עקיפת מנגנוני אשרור (Definitive Signature)
נתניהו מציין במפורש כי החתימה היא "definitive" (סופית) ואינה כפופה לאשרור (Ratification).
 * המשמעות: בדרך כלל, הסכמים מדיניים וביטחוניים משמעותיים דורשים אישור של הממשלה ולעיתים קרובות הצגה או אישור של הכנסת.
 * בבחירה במונח "Definitive Signature", ראש הממשלה מנסה לקבוע עובדה מוגמרת לפיה האמנה נכנסת לתוקף מיידי ללא צורך בהליכים פרלמנטריים נוספים בישראל.
3. הזיקה המשפטית לאחזקת ישראל בעזה
למרות שהמילה "עזה" אינה מופיעה בטקסט, המונח "מועצת השלום" (Board of Peace) בהקשר של ינואר 2026 מרמז על הקמת מנגנון ניהול חדש. המשמעות המשפטית כלפי עזה תלויה בתוכן האמנה עצמה:
 * העברת ריבונות/ניהול: מכיוון שהאמנה קובעת ש"מועצת השלום" היא הגוף המפקח או המנהל של רצועת עזה, המכתב הזה מהווה ויתור רשמי של ישראל על שליטה בלעדית בשטח.
 * שינוי סטטוס ה"תפיסה הלוחמתית": אם ישראל מוגדרת כיום כ"כוח כובש" (Occupying Power), חתימה על אמנה כזו יכולה לשנות את הסטטוס המשפטי שלה למדינה הפועלת תחת מנדט בינלאומי או אזורי, מה שמשנה את חובותיה לפי אמנת ז'נבה.
 * הגבלת חופש הפעולה הצבאי: אם האמנה כוללת סעיפי פירוז או פיקוח, ישראל מאבדת את הזכות המשפטית לפעול בעזה באופן חד-צדדי, וכל פעולה עתידית תצטרך לקבל את אישור ה"מועצה".

סיכום ומסקנות
מבחינה משפטית, מסמך זה הוא ה**"אקדח המעשן"** שקושר את ישראל להתחייבות בינלאומית חדשה ובלתי הפיכה. הוא מעביר את הדיון בעתיד עזה מהמישור הפוליטי-פנימי בישראל (הכנסת והקבינט) למישור המשפטי-בינלאומי המחייב מול ארצות הברית והגופים החתומים על האמנה.
> הערה חשובה: אם המסמך הזה אכן עוקף את אישור הכנסת בנושאים טריטוריאליים או ביטחוניים קריטיים, הוא עשוי לעמוד למבחן משפטי בבג"ץ בטענה של חריגה מסמכות (Ultra Vires).
האם תרצה שאבדוק אם קיימים תקדימים משפטיים בישראל לחתימה על אמנות בינלאומיות ללא אישור הכנסת?

Advancing a False narrative of "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence".
Israel Breaking News:
"Amid a rise in attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank in recent months, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says troops must not "stand by." "Alongside determined fighting against terrorism and strengthening security and Jewish settlement, we are required to strictly uphold law and order and to prevent crime of all kinds, including nationalist crime. These do not strengthen security; they harm the settlement [movement], the IDF, and the State of Israel," Zamir says at a handover ceremony for the chief of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, known as COGAT. "IDF commanders and soldiers, as well as the other security organizations, have both an operational and moral duty to act immediately and not stand by when they detect illegal acts by violent groups, and to protect uninvolved civilian populations," he says. Zamir says incoming COGAT chief Maj. Gen. Yoram Halevi, together with the IDF Central Command, Israel Police, and Shin Bet, "bear from this moment the command responsibility to warn and act to prevent this phenomenon without fear." "I am confident that your experience will assist in this," he adds.

My Comments:
Unfortunately IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir advanced the false narrative of "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence". This seems to be a recurring phenomenon prior to Prime Minister Netanyahu's trip to Washington DC.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is acting against Israel's Security interests by by actually putting Settlers in a negative light.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir should  be smart and defend the Hilltop Settlers and even advocate to free Amiram ben Uliel who was convicted of torching an Arab family. This conviction was totally based on self confession following torture with no collaborating supporting evidence of Amiram responsible of the arson.

Defending and speaking up in  support of Jewish Settlers is also a smart military strategy and does not require shooting a bullet.

It is the best way to demoralize our enemies and use their own psychological weapons to fight.

 Israel is in a territorial war.

Hamas can not compete with Israel's military strength.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir does not openly publicly "approve" nor stand up for Settler shepherds, often unarmed Hilltop Youths, and farmers who are trying to defend and protect our land.  The Settler modus operandi is quite different than the IDF's, albeit effective especially when partnering together with the IDF.

Unfortunately, Gen. Eyal Zamir is literally playing into the hands of our enemies when he openly suggests there are "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers". 

This is similar to what Naftali Bennett did, who in the New York Times in 2015, one week after the Duma arson, with no investigation to speak of, condemned "fringe extremist Jewish Settlers" as being the perpetrators of the Duma Arson based on the say so of Shabak.

In Duma, there was no evidence whatsoever of Jewish perpetrators other than Hebrew graffiti on the scene which probably framed Jews as perpetrators. 

Advancing the false "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence" narrative is unfortunately politically rewarding on an International stage. 

Former President Biden as well had nothing better to focus on than a few "Extremist Jewish Settlers" to sanction by Executive order. He was President of the US yet this was what he was busy with?

Apparently our enemies see "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" as their greatest threat.

Are these shepherds and farmers and unarmed kids far more threatening than the IDF with all its military strength?

Our enemies fight with psychological weapons. Israel is stronger militarily but this  hasn't won us the war. Perhaps it is because Israel fails to confront, acknowledge and fight for our religious Biblical ideological root justification of this conflict.

Our Jewish Settlers by their very essence are fighting the enemy on our enemies' terms while the IDF unfortunately is not. Therefore these "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" apparently ARE more dangerous from  our enemies perspective.

Our enemies only need to show to the world moral equivalency... that there are "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" when it is very obvious to all, that there are Extremist Violent Hamas. 

From the enemies perspective, Israel must not be handed the higher upper moral ground. That is why a statement by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal  Zamir even suggesting there are 'Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" is problematic and playing into their psychological warfare. 

The "Settlers" are portrayed in the eyes of the world, as equivalent to Hamas because we Jews say so ourselves.  This "fringe" group then becomes a fraudulent reflection on all  "Settlers", and a reflection on the Settlement community, and a reflection of  Israeli society who nurtured them. From there the blood libel grows to be a negative reflection on the IDF and reflects negatively on the Israel's Defense Forces.  

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir can then be libeled as well as being a "Genocidal" Chief of Staff of the IDF for defending Israel, no different than these "Extremist Israeli Settlers". 

We saw the great lengths the System took to condemn and convict Amiram ben Uliel with a false narrative which was then magnified as Amiram portrayed as being a ticking time bomb and then with Amiram punished beyond his conviction,  placing him under extreme isolation far worse than convicted Jihadists.

Distancing oneself from "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" actually backfires. This is often the case of  Israeli politicians and Right Wing Jewish leaders dependent on political power and or funding.

Zamir's declaration of "Extremist Settler Violence" is the prize our enemies desperately want in order to give Hamas and the PA legitimacy. Zamir foolishly handed our enemies the psychological moral high ground that enables Hamas and Abbas to survive and gives Hamas legitimacy so long as " Violent Extremist Jewish Settlers"  exist. 

But the real reason to defend the Jewish Hilltop Settlers is not the above but rather because these sacrificing Settlers' ideology accurately reflects true Torah values. 

When grass roots Jews, Hamonei Am, Secular, Religious, Dati, Chiloni, Chareidi Jews unite to yearn for Eretz Yisroel, determined to fight for and Settle in Eretz Yisroel, keeping G-d's Commandments and  do so out of simple faith and Love of G-d, no different than the Jews leaving Egypt, we will merit as a Nation to witness great miracles. We will see our enemies crushed and defeated, and G-d's Greatness acknowledged by our enemies. 

May the time come very speedily soon. AMEN Ken Yehi Ratzon!

Inspiration from Parshat BeShalach. Jewish Sovereignty!


אל המקום אשר...

Bsd

Even if Qatar and Turkey can "convince" Hamas to "lay down their weapons", for Israel's Security, Israel needs to take full Sovereignty and resettle Gaza with Jewish Settlers. We need to take control of the education within our borders to reflect the Laws of a civilized society namely the 7 Noahide Laws. 

This holds true for taking the offensive against Amalekite- Muslim Brotherhood- Hamas supporters in Judea and Samaria and taking the offensive within Israel's borders in the Galil and in the Negev, throughout all of israel, and not only in Gaza.

In addition, for Israel's security, Israel needs to go on the offensive on Jihadism in border countries with unstable ISIS or Hezbollah government as in Syria and Lebanon. 

Radical Muslim Brotherhood ideology in Jordan, Egypt and Qatar etc. must not be tolerated and Israel needs to go on the offensive even when facing fierce opposition from President Trump and his Board of "Peace".

This takes a leap of faith no different than the Jews leaving Egypt. That obsession to be free and Sovereign in Eretz Yisroel literally drove the Jews out of Egypt. This yearning  brought G-dly  miraculous intervention that turned Pharoah into our ally for Israel and Pharoah literally forced us out.
**שמות יג:יז* 
 *וַיְהִי בְּשַׁלַּח פַּרְעֹה אֶת הָעָם, וְלֹא נָחָם אֱלֹהִים דֶּרֶךְ אֶרֶץ פְּלִשְׁתִּים כִּי קָרוֹב הוּא, כִּי אָמַר אֱלֹהִים פֶּן יִנָּחֵם הָעָם בִּרְאֹתָם מִלְחָמָה וְשָׁבוּ מִצְרָיְמָה.* 
 
 *Exodus 13:17* 
 *17 It came to pass when Pharaoh sent out the people, that God did not lead them [by] way of the land of the Philistines for it was near, because God said, Lest the people reconsider when they see war and return to Egypt.**

 It was Pharaoh and the Egyptians who encouraged, even forced Bnei Yisroel out and Bnei Israel found favor in their eyes and the Egyptians shared their wealth with the Israelites.

May we too be obsessed with possessing our Land as per our Covenant with G-d and surely G-d will intervene and fight for us so that our "allies" and enemies will actually help us and encourage us and force us back home!!!🙏

👆These ideas were inspired by my Chabad Chumash especially the introduction to this weeks Parsha, Parshat BeShalach.

Please note that even then, the Pelishtim were a formidable enemy.  

Following October 7th our IDF Soldiers fought with great bravery and we paid with great sacrifice. 

Thousands of Jews are ready to Settle Gaza in a moment's notice. The Nachala Movement is gaining strength and surely G-d sees 🙏. 

Yes it might get worse before it gets better.

23 Since I have come to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has harmed this people, and You have not saved Your people."  

כג וּמֵאָ֞ז בָּ֤אתִי אֶל־פַּרְעֹה֙ לְדַבֵּ֣ר בִּשְׁמֶ֔ךָ הֵרַ֖ע לָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֑ה וְהַצֵּ֥ל לֹֽא־הִצַּ֖לְתָּ אֶת־עַמֶּֽךָ:

Brainstorming. Drawing a red line. Prototype Yesha Torah Autonomy. Ideas presented before the Gaza Expulsion in 2005. Letter I sent to Dovid Wilder Dec 2004

Bsd

January 2026

אל המקום אשר... 

- In light of recent developments, namely the ISF International Stabalization Force and  "Peace Board" (1) with Israel agreeing to having Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia on board putting Israel security in grave danger ....

- and in light of the harassment and persecution of Hilltop Settlers as the resilient fearless Shepherds face fierce winter storms, as they get attacked from the enemy from within and from without (2)...

It is time to restore a discussion that was tabled. It is time to draw a red line. 

The Expulsion of Gush Katif in 2005 wasn't stopped in its track.  The expulsion planted the very seed of October 7, 2025, a massacre of epic proportion, twenty years later. 

It is time to finally learn the harsh lessons  from past diplomatic capitulation.  These are diplomatically called "Peace" agreements.  They actually compromise Israel's Sovereignty over our Biblical Ancestral Homeland and eventually threaten Israel's security.

אירוע חסר תקדים: עדר הצאן של מקנה אברהם 
הוחרם בידי המנהל האזרחי
An unprecedented event: The herd sheep of Mikneh Avrohom was confiscated by the Civil Administration

Google English translation follows
שבועיים אחר שתי תקיפות קשות שחוו רועי הצאן של גבעת מקנה אברהם בגוש עציון מצד ערביי הכפר רשיידה הסמוך, פשטו שוטרי מג"ב ופקחי המנהל האזרחי הלילה על הגבעה ובצעד חסר תקדים החרימו את עדר הצאן ששמר על אדמות האזור.

העיזים הועלו בזו אחר זו על עגלה והובלו לבסיס המנהל האזרחי בבית אל. העילה הפורמלית להחרמה שטרם התבררה רמת חוקיותיה הייתה "כניסה לשטח צבאי סגור", אלא שאת הצו הטיל האלוף שנה תמימה לאחר הקמת הגבעה כשהעדר כבר רועה בשטח חודשים ארוכים.

החרמת העדר מגיעה אחרי שבשבועות האחרונים חוו רועי הצאן של הגבעה במהלך המרעה שתי תקיפות קשות מצד מאות פורעים מהכפר רשיידה הסמוך. ארבעה רועים נפצעו ופונו לבית החולים, בעוד שמרבית הפורעים לא נעצרו עד כה.

שתבינו, מה שקרה פה הלילה הוא אירוע שלא נראה כמותו בעשור האחרון. אין דרך אחרת להגדיר את זה מאשר פגיעה קודש הקודשים של ההתיישבות החלוצית והמאבק על השטחים הפתוחים.

Unprecedented Event: Abraham's Sheep Herd Confiscated by the Civil Administration

Two weeks after two severe attacks on the shepherds of Abraham's Sheep Hill in the Gush Etzion Bloc by Arabs from the nearby village of Rasheida, Border Police officers and Civil Administration inspectors raided the hill last night and, in an unprecedented move, confiscated the herd of sheep guarding the area's lands.

The goats were loaded onto a cart one by one and taken to the Civil Administration base in Beit El. The formal reason for the confiscation, the legality of which has not yet been determined, was "entering a closed military area," but the order was issued by the major general a full year after the hill was built, when the herd had already been grazing in the area for months.

The confiscation of the herd comes after the shepherds of the hill experienced two severe attacks on their pastures in recent weeks by hundreds of rioters from the nearby village of Rasheida. Four shepherds were injured and taken to the hospital, while most of the rioters were not arrested until So.

Understand, what happened here tonight is an event unlike any seen in the last decade. There is no other way to define it than an attack on the holy of holies of pioneering settlement and the struggle for open spaces.

We cannot let this pass quietly. Share!!

Fwd: Fake IDF vs Real IDF. Fake AI vs Real World



Re: They posed as IDF to rob a Jewelry shop in Hebron


Bsd

This is funny...but it's also scary.

Scary that unauthorized Arabs have IDF weapons and IDF uniforms. 

Lucky that it was only used to rob a Palestinian jewelry store and there were no casualties and ended well, and that the IDF robbers in disguise were caught by the real IDF and the jewelry returned to the Arab store owner and it was a Kiddush Hashem.  

Scary that these IDF uniforms and weapons could Chas VeSholom, G-d forbid,  be used as a disguise in an actual terror attack on innocent Israeli civilians.  

Time to sweep and disarm hostile Arabs within Israel of dangerous 
weapons including IDF uniforms. 

Around the same time this incident was reported, it was also reported that there was nonstop shooting happening in the Arab sections of Hebron literally on the border of the Jewish community of Kiryat Arba, actually in close proximity to my apt.

Non-stop Shooting Heard in Kiryat Arba Coming From Nearby Hebron by Netanel Bleicher from Hilltop News

By not disarming Hamas supporters in the Arab population centers, Jews living in close proximity are literally sitting ducks... Chas Veshalom,
... another October 7th waiting to happen.

-------
Fyi: Polish- a new feature of Gmail

Terrifying.

When I originally began typing this email a new feature of gmail asked me if I wanted help to create what I wanted to write. I ignored it and wrote the above draft.  Gmail then asked me if I wanted to polish what I wrote. I decided to try this new polishing feature.

What follows is the "polished" version.

Please note in this "polished" version "hostile individuals" had access to IDF uniforms and weapons.  It was just a jewelery store that was robbed. They conveniently leave out the fact that it was specifically Arab robbers robbing an  Arab Jewelry store.

In this "polished" version, the security risk is directed at all civilians.  While true all civilians, Arabs and Jews can be a target of hostile individuals, it ignores the reality that Israeli civilians are especially targeted by Hamas supporting Arabs. 

No differentiation between hostile Arab terrorists and Jews. Hostile Arabs are polished as "hostile groups or hostile population"  and threatened Jews are  polished as "vulnerable civilians". 

My original txt:

"By not disarming Hamas supporters in the Arab population centers, Jews living in close proximity are literally sitting ducks... Chas Veshalom, G-d forbid,
... another October 7th waiting to happen."

Versus the AI "polished" version:

"Failing to disarm these groups leaves those living in close proximity extremely vulnerable."

The full "polished" version of the original text:

While parts of the video were humorous, the underlying reality is quite concerning.

It is alarming that IDF uniforms and weapons are being accessed by hostile individuals. While it is fortunate that this specific incident—the robbery of a jewelry store—ended with the real IDF apprehending the suspects and returning the property, it remains a serious security risk. These disguises could, Chas VeSholom, be used in terror attacks against civilians.

It is critical that steps are taken to disarm hostile populations within Israel of these weapons and uniforms. Around the time of this report, there was also nonstop shooting in the sections of Hebron bordering Kiryat Arba, very close to my apartment. You can read more about that here: https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2026/01/non-stop-shooting-heard-in-kiryat-arba.html?m=1 (https://shemittahrediscovered.blogspot.com/2026/01/non-stop-shooting-heard-in-kiryat-arba.html?m=1)

Failing to disarm these groups leaves those living in close proximity extremely vulnerable.
