Israeli opposition leader Avigdor Lieberman called Monday for continuing the war with Iran even if the US withdraws, following remarks by US President Donald Trump about “constructive talks” with Tehran.

“If the US exits the war, we must continue. From our perspective, toppling the regime is essential,” Lieberman, head of the Yisrael Beytenu party, said at the opening of his party faction’s meeting, as reported by the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

Lieberman sharply criticized the Israeli government, saying it was focusing on internal legislative issues while security threats persist.

“While residents of the north hear an air raid siren every few minutes, the Knesset will discuss the fate of the people of Israel and the expansion of the powers of rabbinical courts—this is absolute madness,” he said.

Trump said Monday that he has ordered a 5-day postponement of all strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure, citing “very good and productive” talks with Tehran over the past two days.

“I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump added that based on the “tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which [sic] will continue throughout the week,” he has instructed the Department of Defense to postpone all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period.

The pause is subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions, he added.

Regional escalation has continued to flare since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing so far over 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.

Germany on Monday reaffirmed support for EU sanctions against violent Israeli settlers amid the ongoing pogroms on Palestinians in the West Bank, Anadolu reports.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Martin Giese told journalists in Berlin that his country would “support” EU sanctions against violent Israeli settlers but also made it clear that the decision would be “made in Brussels.”

He pointed out that there was one EU member state, alluding to Hungary, that was “blocking” such sanctions.

Giese stressed again that it is “clearly the wish of the federal government” to proceed with such sanctions.

In other related news, Giese defended German Ambassador to Israel Steffen Seibert, who was lambasted by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar for criticizing the anti-settler violence in the West Bank.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stressed in his phone call with his Israeli counterpart on Sunday evening “on the need for a more decisive approach to combat settler violence,” said Giese.

The spokesperson reiterated his ministry’s “full” support for Seibert on this issue.

Meanwhile, government spokesman Stefan Kornelius voiced his country’s “concern” over the situation in the West Bank and “called on the parties to exercise restraint.”

Since the start of the Gaza war on Oct. 8, 2023, attacks by Israeli forces and illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank have killed 1,133 Palestinians, injured about 11,700 others, and led to the arrest of roughly 22,000 people.

In February alone, illegal settlers carried out 511 attacks across the West Bank, killing seven Palestinians by gunfire, according to official Palestinian figures.​​​​​​​

Earlier, in a landmark opinion in July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

When Rotting Brain comes for you, you’re inconsistent not as a strategy but because your brain has rotted away. You can’t remember what you had for lunch. You’re vulnerable to manipulation of course and I would be concerned about such manipulation being illegal, unlawful. Even done by relatives, such manipulation can’t be legal can it?

Starmer said it here:  https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/keir-starmer-interview-i-will-work-to-eradicate-antisemitism-from-day-one/

And then there’s Starmer. By supporting Trump, isn’t he also supporting Trump’s Fascism at home and abroad? Covering-up – participation and complicity really – Fascist murders in the States, human rights abuses, mass-murders on the sea, amassing wealth in secret, hidden, obscure accounts, Fascist genocide for Israel – there’s no doubt that Starmer fully supports that at least. Ed: plutocracy, the filthy rich … Starmer is supporting it all.

Later Ed: Climate? While we need action urgently Trump, Farage and other right-wing denialists are doing the opposite. By supporting Trump, isn’t Starmer also supporting climate crime? In many ways, it’s the ultimate genocide through destroying the climate, the planet, everything.

Starmer, Mahmood and the UK Labour Party are doing their own version of neo-Fascism of course relentlessly prosecuting protesters and the latest one arresting someone for being polite while Iranian.

An Iranian man has been arrested with a woman after trying to enter the Faslane naval base, home to the UK’s nuclear-armed submarines.

Police Scotland said a 34-year-old man and 31-year-old woman were arrested at HM Naval Base Clyde at about 17:00 on Thursday.

The woman’s nationality is unknown, but it is understood she is not Iranian.

The Royal Navy said the suspects “unsuccessfully attempted” to enter the base, near Helensburgh in Argyll and Bute.

A spokesperson added: “As the matter is subject to an ongoing investigation, we will not comment further.”

It is understood that the pair did not try to force their way into the base.

They asked if they could enter but were refused permission and were arrested shortly afterwards. Police Scotland said its inquiries were ongoing.

…

The woman is reported to be Romanian in later news reports. So there you are, an Iranian man asks to enter the base, was refused and they were arrested. Iranian man arrested for being polite. Such nonsense. I wonder if it happened at all or is just total war BS like what comes out of Trump, Netanyahu and Starmer’s holes.
