All Silent Dossier reporting and analysis on Israel, newest first.
Abbas moved Palestinian elections to 11 September 2027, blaming Israeli measures. Sa’ar called it a lie, Hamas welcomed it and Paris wants a vote.
Israel never expected the Bar-Lev Line to stop Egypt by itself. Its real plan, code-named Dovecote, was to let Egyptian infantry cross the Suez Canal and then crush them with tanks. Egypt studied that plan and broke it within 48 hours.
Rubio released the $320 million Washington used to withhold from Egypt, crediting Cairo’s role in the Iran war. In the same weeks, Israeli media turned on a railway across Sinai. Both stories say the same thing: Egypt has made itself indispensable, and a developed Sinai is what Israel fears most.
The flydubai FZ1073 cockpit stabbing ended in Tabuk, where Saudi Arabia sheltered Israeli passengers but refused Israeli military planes. Israel calls it terror; the evidence so far fits a cockpit fight, and the flight recorders will decide.
Katz called the flydubai cockpit attack jihadist terror, Netanyahu said it was too early to say, and the UAE readout named no motive. How each statement fits.
Abbas Kamel’s secret 67-minute visit to Israel before October 7 was not betrayal. Egypt warned that Gaza would explode. Netanyahu had the warnings and let the explosion come, and Egypt is paying the price.
Houthi missiles are hitting Riyadh while Saudi Arabia’s allies offer pledges, Washington steps back and Israel sees an opening. Arab states must mobilise and stand with the kingdom now.
Israel has released the story of a 1973 reconnaissance flight downed by Egyptian missiles over the Suez Canal. It exposes Israel’s blindness, the strength of Egypt’s missile wall, and Egypt’s failure to honour its own soldiers.
