While Jerusalem is planning celebrations, the Palestinians are preparing for violence ahead of Trump’s historic announcement on Jerusalem’s status.

Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Thursday urged nations to recognize the danger posed by Iran and to work to prevent it from exploiting the nuclear deal to redraw the political map of the Middle East in its favor.

Hamas is overcoming Israel’s restrictions on cement and other materials intended for the rehabilitation of Gaza — but co-opted for the construction of terror tunnels – by using fiberglass to fortify the underground structures.

Hundreds of Islamic terrorists are already in Europe and the attacks in Paris and Brussels were only the tip of a massive iceberg, Moshe Ya'alon warned Europe.

Ya'alon warned Hamas it would suffer consequences even more severe than those of the last war in 2014 if it escalated tensions on the border.

Iran's growing influence in Syria will only worsen the situation and threaten Israel's security, Ya'alon warned.

Israel's legitimate fears over the Iran Nuclear Deal are beginning to materialize and the Jewish state is demanding world condemnation as Iran announced it will fund Palestinian terrorists and their families.

Israel has picked up signs of the beginning of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East as Arab states seek nuclear weapons to counter Iran, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon warned.

The IDF estimates that Hamas, having learned from experience during Operation Protective Edge, is building a huge terror tunnel, rather than several smaller ones, and at a quick pace.

After a Palestinian Authority policeman attacked three Israeli soldiers near the Palestinian city, the IDF is taking measures to prevent similar acts of terror.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon responded to US Secretary of State John Kerry's accusations that Israel is responsible for stalled peace talks, charging that Kerry's plans for Israel would endanger its security and were impracticable.

Kerry again warned of the looming dangers of stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, placing the onus of responsibility solely on Israel.

Breaking the Silence, an anti-Israel NGO tarnishing the name of the IDF with false claims of war crimes, receives financial support from a Palestinian organization.

Iran and its Middle East satellites like Hezbollah and other groups are going to become stronger in the coming years, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon warned US senators.

Israel has outlawed the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, which is responsible for anti-Israel incitement and, in part, for the recent wave of terrorism in Israel.

Despite ISIS' mounting global threat, Israel is safe, Israel's Defense Minister said.

Fighting its continuing war on Palestinian terrorism, IDF forces destroyed the homes of four Palestinian terrorists responsible for the murder of four Israelis.

The Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey is at the top of the list of military equipment that Israel expects to get from the US.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has ordered military funerals with full honors to terrorists and financial grants to their families.

The top American military official is visiting Israel to discuss the major issues of the region, underscoring the close bond between the two countries.

Israel's leaders are enraged by comments coming out of the US State Department blaming Israel for the Palestinian violence, and for alleging Israel uses excessive force to stop terrorism.

Israel's Minister of Defense Moshe Ya'alon said that Hamas is constantly plotting against Israel's citizens. "It would be appropriate for the free world not to ignore this fact," he said.

Israeli security forces captured the Hamas terror cell that murdered a young Jewish couple in the presence of their four children last week.

In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced he is considering past agreements with Israel, including the 1993 Oslo Accords, null and void.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, an ally of Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, expressed concern Monday after the IDF fired in retaliation at a Syrian military position.
