Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi on Tuesday amid disagreements over policy decisions, including a recent attack on Qatar and an offensive to occupy Gaza City, local media said, Anadolu reports.

Hanegbi confirmed his departure, saying his tenure as head of the National Security Council would end after Netanyahu informed him a replacement would be appointed, The Jerusalem Post daily reported.

He called for a “thorough investigation” into Israel’s failures surrounding the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, saying he shared in the responsibility.

Netanyahu’s office confirmed that the deputy head of the National Security Council, Gil Reich, has been appointed as the acting head of the agency, replacing Hanegbi, according to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

Israeli media, including Channel 12, reported that Hanegbi had clashed with Netanyahu over both last month’s airstrike targeting Hamas leadership in the Qatari capital Doha and the launch of a military operation to occupy Gaza City.

Before the operation began, Hanegbi reportedly told the Cabinet he opposed Netanyahu’s push to take control of Gaza City, arguing it could endanger the lives of Israeli hostages.

“I fully agree with the chief of staff (Eyal Zamir) that taking control of Gaza City jeopardizes the lives of the hostages, which is why I oppose the prime minister’s proposal,” he was quoted as saying by Channel 12.

Five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer were killed in the Israeli attack in Doha on Sept. 9 amid a global condemnation of the strike.

A ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza on Oct. 10, based on a phased plan presented by US President Donald Trump. Phase one included the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed over 68,200 people and injured more than 170,300, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Europe must play a central role in rebuilding Gaza as well as reviving the two-state solution to Israel-Palestine conflict, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday, Anadolu Agency reports.

Speaking on the EU’s priorities for the coming year at the European Parliament, von der Leyen stressed that Europe’s independence and influence on the global stage depend on shaping the emerging international order, starting from its immediate neighborhood.

“This is true in the Middle East, where Europe must play a role in rebuilding Gaza, in relaunching the two-state solution, as well as in encouraging the birth of a new Syria,” she said.

Von der Leyen also underscored the EU’s commitment to supporting Ukraine and strengthening Europe’s defense capabilities against a range of threats, including hybrid warfare, terrorism, and security consequences of climate change.

She highlighted the importance of a strong democracy in delivering solutions to citizens’ concerns, particularly in migration and child protection on social media.

The EU commission chief stressed the full implementation of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, stronger border management through Frontex, and stricter enforcement against smugglers and traffickers.

“Legal migration is welcome, and we will need more of it. But illegal migration is not, and we cannot tolerate the smugglers and traffickers working against our rules,” she said.

She said Europe must protect its children from the growing harms of social media, noting that the EU is setting up a panel of experts to deliver recommendations for protecting children online, including a digital minimum age.

“And then we will act on this in the coming year. I really hope for your support. Because we should be absolutely clear that it should be parents who raise their children, not algorithms,” she added.

The Commission Work Program 2026, she said, will focus on competitiveness, defense readiness, and democratic resilience to ensure Europe can act decisively at home and abroad.

Illegal Israeli settlers staged 158 assaults against Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank since the start of the olive harvest season in October, according to a local official, Anadolu reports.

Muayyar Shaaban, who heads the Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, said field teams documented 17 attacks by the Israeli army and 141 others by illegal settlers.

“These attacks ranged from violent physical assaults, arrests, movement restrictions, denial of access, intimidation, and harassment to direct gunfire,” Shaaban said.

According to the official, 56 attacks were carried out in the northern city of Nablus, 51 assaults in the central city of Ramallah, and 15 in Hebron in the southern West Bank.

Shaaban noted that 57 incidents of movement restrictions and intimidation against olive pickers were documented, in addition to 22 cases of beating and physical assault against farmers.

A total of 795 olive trees were destroyed in 74 attacks directly targeting olive-planted lands, he added.

The Palestinian official described the season as “one of the most difficult and dangerous in decades” due to the escalating attacks by the Israeli army and illegal settlers.

Shaaban accused the Israeli occupation of systematically targeting the olive harvest season due to the deep emotional and historical bond between Palestinians and their land as part of “a clear and declared plan to control Palestinian geography and deny Palestinians access to their lands.”

According to Palestinian figures, illegal Israeli settlers have carried out 7,154 attacks against Palestinians and their property across the West Bank since October 2023, killing 33 Palestinians and displacing 33 Bedouin communities.

In a landmark opinion last July, 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.

Palestine accuses Israel of destroying 90% of Gaza’s agricultural assets in 2 years

Palestine accused Israel on Tuesday of destroying more than 90% of Gaza’s agricultural assets over the past two years and harming over 5,353 farmers in the occupied West Bank since the start of this year, Anadolu reports.

The agricultural sector in Palestine is facing “major transformations and unprecedented challenges” as a result of Israel’s “systematic violations targeting land, water, people, and identity,” Agriculture Minister Rezq Salimia said in a press conference held at the ministry’s headquarters in Ramallah.

“The (Israeli) genocidal war in the Gaza Strip caused massive destruction, exceeding 90% of agricultural resources and assets, including irrigation wells, greenhouses, and farming facilities,” he added.

In the West Bank, Salimia said Israel controls more than 60% of its territory, blocking development, reclamation, and rehabilitation projects, and preventing the expansion of agricultural land use.

“If access to those areas under Israeli control were possible, they would have generated more than $3 billion in economic value and provided at least 200,000 job opportunities,” he added.

“This means we could have dispensed with all foreign aid if we were allowed to invest in those lands,” the minister said.

Since the beginning of 2025 through mid-October, “more than 5,353 farmers were affected by Israeli violations, marking a 17% increase compared with last year,” Salimia said.

He noted that total losses “exceeded $70.3 million, including the burning and uprooting of trees, destruction of agricultural infrastructure, killing and theft of livestock, confiscation of tens of thousands of dunams of land, and preventing farmers from accessing them while allowing systematic settler grazing.”

Since October 2024, the ministry has documented the destruction of more than 15,000 olive trees, according to Salimia.

Israel has killed over 68,200 people and injured more than 170,300 in Gaza since October 2023, the Gaza Health Ministry said.

The occupied West Bank also witnessed a sharp rise in attacks over the same period, with at least 1,056 Palestinians killed, around 10,300 injured, and more than 20,000, including 1,600 children, detained, according to official Palestinian figures.
