“In contrast to what Abu Mazen [aka Abbas] said several days ago, we were here thousands of years ago and will still be here thousands of years from now.”
By World Israel News Staff
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made this week’s Sunday morning cabinet meeting a festive one following Jerusalem Day, the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of Jerusalem during the June 1967 Six-Day War, which was celebrated Friday.
In honor of Jerusalem, the meeting was held in the Western Wall Tunnels in the Old City, where several decisions were made to develop and strengthen the Israeli capital, Netanyahu’s office said.
“Several days ago, Abu Mazen [Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas] told the United Nations that the Jewish People have no links to the Temple Mount and that eastern Jerusalem is part of the Palestinian Authority. Therefore, and to get his attention, today we are holding a special Cabinet meeting in honor of Jerusalem Day at the foot of the Temple Mount upon which King Solomon built the First Temple of the Jewish People, and which is – again to get Abu Mazen’s attention – the heart of the historical State of Israel, the City of David, and has been here for 3,000 years,” Netanyahu stated.
“The deep ties between the Jewish People and Jerusalem is one that has no parallel among the nations. Jerusalem was our capital around 1,100 years before London became the capital of England, approximately 1,800 years before Paris became the capital of France and around 2,800 years before Washington, D.C. became the capital of the U.S. For over 100 generations, Jews expressed their special yearning for Jerusalem in prayers that are repeated three times a day and under the wedding canopy.
“Fifty-six years ago, in the Six-Day War, we unified Jerusalem. But I must say that the fight for its unity has not ended. Time and again, my friends and I have been forced to repel international pressure on the part of those who would divide Jerusalem again, and by prime ministers of Israel who were prepared to give in to those pressures and were even prepared to concede the Jewish People’s holiest places.
We have acted differently. Not only have we not divided Jerusalem; we have built and expanded it. I am proud to have had the great privilege of building new neighborhoods in Jerusalem, such as Har Homa, Givat Hamatos and Maaleh Hazeitim, in which tens of thousands of Israelis live. We did all this together in the face of great international pressure. We stood against these pressures.
I am proud that the governments we have headed have led great expansion and development in all parts of the city, western and eastern, on behalf of its residents. I am proud that we have brought about American recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the transfer of the U.S. and other embassies to the capital – and our hand is still extended.
I promise you that more embassies will be transferred to Jerusalem, and it will not take a very long time. But the work is not over, and the challenge is yet before us. There are still those who want to divide Jerusalem and they say so openly. There are those who proclaim their loyalty to the united Jerusalem but are not really prepared to fight for it at the moment of truth. Only the national camp led by us will safeguard a strong and united Jerusalem, just as we are safeguarding our security and national pride.
And therefore, on behalf of our security, our future and the unity of Jerusalem, we must continue to maintain our government, that of the national camp. You all see the difference.
Just one year ago, here in the heart of Jerusalem, we saw a disgraceful scene. Two Jewish youths hastened to take Israeli flags off their car. They had stopped at a traffic light and there was concern that a procession of Palestinians, that was protesting opposite them and waving PLO flags in the heart of Jerusalem, could injure them, like many others; we were also outraged by this.
We promised to restore our national honor – and I am keeping our promise. We did this last week with the flag march which wound its way proudly through the streets of our capital, and in Operation Shield and Arrow, which changed the equation with Islamic Jihad.
Of course, in order to continue maintaining our national government, we must pass the state budget. You know that I have a little experience in this matter, having passed almost 20 state budgets, and I can tell you that there are always last-minute arguments. I believe that we will overcome them and pass the budget.
We will pass a responsible budget, one of the goals of which is to equalize conditions between a haredi child to those of a secular child. Haredi children do not need to receive less than secular or religious children because a haredi [ultra-Orthodox] child is not half a child. No Jew needs to hear the antisemitic incitement on the television channels, or see shameful caricatures in the biased media, which copy the anti-Semitic propaganda that our people has known in its darker periods. The fact is that under our government we have succeeded in integrating the haredi sector in the labor market more than all other governments – and this we will continue to do.
This government was elected to serve out its days; therefore, I am certain that in the coming days we will bridge all of the gaps and continue to work together on behalf of all citizens of Israel, and Jerusalem.
Indeed, today the government will approve budgets for the development of the Old City and the strengthening of all of Jerusalem. We will upgrade infrastructure in the Western Wall plaza and we will improve transportation services. I have specially requested that attention be given to completing the ring road (the eastern ring road and the northern American highway), this will be major news as the great transportation news that we have brought, great news in Jerusalem and not just in Jerusalem. We will expand educational activity for children, soldiers and students and we will encourage visits to the amazing Western Wall where are now meeting.
These decisions join what we have already done on behalf of our capital. Several years ago, we initiated and began the excavation of the wonderful Har Nof tunnels, and today tens of thousands of drivers use them daily. At the same time, we are extending the light rail in the city from Gilo in the south to Ramot in the north.
The quarter at the entrance to the city is being built. We all pass by it daily and see it progressing. This will give a major push to commerce, employment, housing, culture and recreation. I note that hundreds of high-tech companies are already active in Jerusalem, and we are moving forward with new initiatives to build housing.
In the coming years, we will also advance an innovative enterprise – the cable car to the Western Wall, which will allow for easier access to the area of the Western Wall and the City of David. I am certain that riding on it will be a unique and special experience for both Israelis and overseas tourists. As a Jerusalemite from the age of two days, because I was born in Tel Aviv and arrived in Jerusalem at the age of two days, I remember Jerusalem and it is changing daily. It has wonderful things that do not change but there are also great and powerful changes that are bursting with momentum, imagination and hope.
I would like to thank all government ministers for joining in to benefit Jerusalem, but especially Jerusalem Affairs Minister Meir Porush, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Mayor Moshe Lion, who is continuing the energetic work of his predecessor, Minister Nir Barkat
“In contrast to what Abu Mazen said several days ago, we were here thousands of years ago and will still be here thousands of years from now.”
The festival of Shavuot falls this year on Thursday evening and ends Friday at sunset, when Shabbat begins.
The prime minister concluded by wishing “a Happy Shavuot to the people of Israel, a happy festival to Jerusalem, the eternal united capital of the State of Israel.”

The finance minister assured in closed discussions that funding would be made available even though it is not included in the current budget.
By Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has begun intensive talks with various government ministries with the aim of doubling the number Jews in Judea and Samaria, Haaretz reported Sunday.
The head of the Religious Zionism party has drawn up a comprehensive proposal that would be presented to the government in the coming months, according to the paper.
In closed talks with ministry staffers and officials from the Defense Ministry, in which he serves as a minister in charge of Judea and Samaria affairs, Smotrich outlined the ideas included in his plan.
The proposal calls not only a rapid increase in the amount of housing available in Judea and Samaria, but also all the necessary infrastructure expansion needed to support another 500,000 residents in the region, including roads, public transportation, employment opportunities, and educational facilities. The sources said that Smotrich demanded that the plan should be implemented within the next two years.
According to one source, when Smotrich was asked where the money would come from to pay for the proposal, considering that its price tag would be in the hundreds of millions of shekels, none of which is included in the two-year budget that will be presented to the Knesset by the end of the month, the minister brushed aside the issue, saying that funding would not be a problem.
Citing sources involved in the talks, the Hebrew daily said that among Smotrich’s key demands is the building of proper infrastructure for all existing Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria to further this goal, whether their legal status has been finalized or not.
He specifically referred to the dozens of small towns known as “young settlements,” even though many of the them have existed for decades, which have suffered from constant water and electricity shortages as well as security dangers due to their standing, a situation that even led to a hunger strike protest by several regional council heads.
The sources noted that Smotrich said these villages would be legalized in the coming months, without giving further details. Very few have received retroactive recognition in all the years that right-wing governments ruled in Israel. Nine were authorized in one fell swoop in February as a response to a spate of Palestinian terror attacks in Jerusalem, and the move was roundly criticized by Israeli foes and friends alike, including the United States.
The upcoming legalization of Homesh, one of four Israeli towns in northern Samaria forcibly evacuated by the Sharon government as part of the 2005 Disengagement, is also getting flack from the Biden administration.
The Haaretz article also said that the security authorities “are expected to express opposition to a large part” of the plan. It also noted that “it is expected” that any attempt to implement its proposals would be reviewed by the High Court of Justice, “and it is doubtful whether the judiciary will authorize it in its original form.”

“A terrorist group associated with the Zionist regime which entered the country from the western borders was arrested,” Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib said.
By JNS
Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib said on Sunday that an Israel-affiliated “terrorist group” had been arrested on the country’s western border, Reuters reported.
Iran has accused Israel in the past of conducting operations inside its borders to thwart its nuclear program—in December of last year executing four men convicted of cooperating with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. Three other people received prison sentences of between five and 10 years.
In October, Tehran announced it had arrested 10 persons accused of working for Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in April at a ceremony honoring Mossad operatives that the spy agency’s “ultimate mission” was to prevent the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear capabilities.
“If we do not prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, we will be in a different reality, where the entire world will be held hostage by a party bent on destroying us, and that is why this is our ultimate mission,” said Netanyahu.
Meanwhile, Tehran has been working the diplomatic channels to restore ties with countries in the Arab world—the most high-profile being Saudi Arabia, a country that Israel has hopes of eventually joining the Abraham Accords. Iran has also been working on a rapprochement with Egypt, according to media reports, with an Iranian member of parliament saying that embassies in Cairo and Tehran would be reopened in the near future.
Another Iranian parliamentarian, a member of the National Security Committee, Shahryar Haidari, said that Tehran might restore diplomatic relations with Washington if the United States apologizes “for its mistakes during the past 44 years,” according to a report in Iran International.
Haidari also said that Washington has suggested holding direct bilateral talks with Tehran.

On the first of May, Jordan Neely — a homeless New Yorker chronically struggling with mental illness and addiction — had the breath wrung out of him by a several-minute-long choke hold administered by ex-Marine Daniel Penny, who was alarmed by Neely’s behavior on the subway. What exactly prompted Penny’s action differs between accounts: some witnesses said Neely was explicitly threatening other passengers, others that he was just particularly belligerent about demanding food. Whatever the case, by the time police got to the scene, Neely was dead and officers let Penny walk free, turning the incident into a national flashpoint.
To any normal human being, the whole incident was a sad and wretched microcosm of everything that’s gone wrong in modern American life: from the callous failures of political leadership and the rippling tragedies of endemic poverty, to the deep-seated need among lost young American men to find meaning in violent heroics. But that wasn’t enough for some, who soon worked to turn Neely’s killing into something that wasn’t just a regrettable outcome of the long-standing depravities of the unequal US economy, but an act that was necessary and correct, in part to combat a scourge of violent vagrants threatening innocent Americans up and down the country.
“Why are regular people just being asked to be heroes in the subway?” asked cultural critic Thomas Chatterton-Williams, adding that people shouldn’t be asked to “tolerate abuse or the possibility of assault.”
“Not a week goes by that a mentally ill person doesn’t get on and terrorize the entire car,” said Newsweek deputy opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon. “It’s working class New Yorkers who have to face down this violence.”
“What if Penny had done nothing? Would everyone — including Neely — have emerged from that subway car unscathed?” wondered David French. “We can’t know for certain, and that lack of certainty creates the conditions for violence.”
“It seems like this was justified,” talk-radio host Jason Rantz told Fox News, who said it was “fair to say” that Neely, as a “mentally ill homeless man with supposedly forty-plus charges who continues to harass people,” was a “threat.”
In short order, one of the United States’ two dominant political factions has not only used the sad and avoidable death of a desperately poor man to give an enthusiastic thumbs-up to vigilantism — it’s somehow turned the tragic episode into an elaborate justification of more attacks on the homeless.
Neely’s death is just the latest high-profile case of lethal violence being visited on the homeless in the United States. Take a look through local news reporting this year alone, and you’ll find story after story of strangers, some of them wearing law enforcement badges, killing homeless Americans — vivid examples of the regularly repeated maxim that those who live on the streets are far more likely to be the victims of violence than the ones carrying it out.
Take a look through local news reporting this year alone, and you’ll find story after story of strangers killing homeless Americans.
Just days before Neely was killed on the New York subway, a very similar murder caused a firestorm in San Francisco, where Banko Brown, a homeless transgender black man, was killed by a Walgreens security guard. The guard ultimately faced no charges, with authorities saying he had felt he was in “mortal danger” and acting in self-defense, after the unarmed Brown threatened to stab him and raised his arm toward him. But just-released (and highly upsetting) security camera footage of the incident shows that, after the two scuffled, the guard shot Brown as he was walking away and out the door with his back turned.
But even these two high-profile cases aren’t really reflective of the kind of dangers faced by the homeless, who don’t need to engage in minor lawbreaking or even seem dangerous to be targeted with violence.
This month saw a fifty-four-year-old Redwood City, California homeless man killed in a hit-and-run and a twenty-nine-year-old homeless man shot to death in the Las Vegas drainage canal tunnel in which he lived. (Lest those justifying Neely’s death feel a pang of compassion for the latter, rest assured that his girlfriend admitted that he was “damn near a felon,” giving plenty of potential ammunition for tortured justifications of that murder).
In a number of cases, the victims were cherished members of their communities. One homeless man, David Breaux, described as a “beloved presence” in the city of Davis, was one of three stabbing victims in the California city in one week, found dead on the park bench where he regularly slept. Greensboro man Lance Ross Williams, remembered as someone who would share what he had with those in need despite having nothing to give, and called “the kindest human I’ve ever met” by one local, was shot one morning in March and died from his injuries.
Sometimes all that is needed to trigger a murder is the crime of looking for shelter. One man was shot to death in Columbus, Ohio in April after a homeowner found him sleeping in his detached garage without his permission, something a local faith leader called “tragic and completely avoidable,” insisting that the man was “a gentle person” who would have left if asked. A Houston man was killed a month earlier, shot in the stomach while sleeping in a vacant building.
Some of these murders are truly stomach-churning: the Harrisburg man smashed in the head and face with a claw hammer and dumped in a stairwell; the man found dead from blunt force trauma to the head and neck under a bridge in Spartanburg, South Carolina; the Grand Rapids, Michigan man whose death was so grisly, police would only say that he’d suffered a “brutal homicide”; the Bridgeport, Connecticut man picked up and slammed headfirst into the pavement by someone who mistook his plea for assistance for a sexual pass.
Sometimes, they’re staggering in the casualness of their cruelty. One recent high-profile St Louis murder saw a man nonchalantly load a gun and shoot a homeless man he’d gotten into an argument with in the head as he sat on the pavement. Naturally, the same Fox News that declared Neely’s murder “justified” — calling Neely “a career criminal who was threatening subway passengers” and claiming that the charges brought against Penny for killing him shows “the lives of criminals are valued over law-abiding citizens” in liberal New York — conversely used the murder of this homeless person in St Louis to argue that crime is out of control because of woke prosecutors.
Some of the murders were carried out by the very law enforcement authorities who are meant to protect the most vulnerable.
And some of the murders were carried out by the very law enforcement authorities who are meant to protect the most vulnerable, as two recently settled lawsuits illustrate, reminding us of the dangers of using armed police as catchall first responders in every type of crisis. One man suffering from schizoaffective disorder was stopped by Orange County sheriff’s deputies in 2020 while jaywalking, which quickly turned into a scuffle and his shooting death. The following year, Portland police officers escalated an encounter with an unarmed homeless man in the middle of a mental health crisis, immediately pulling out their guns and shooting him within five minutes of the encounter, then waiting seven minutes before getting him medical help while eating a pizza next to his dead body.
Aside from the two cases above, all of these incidents are from just this year. If you care to, you can go back and find many, similarly perverse acts of violence before this year, like the Nashville woman who got a year of probation for shooting a homeless man who asked her to move her Porsche, after she pulled up to where he was sleeping with her music blaring.
These cases are just vivid, human illustrations of what we can plainly see from the data available to us: that being homeless in America is incredibly dangerous and deadly, and is only getting deadlier.
According to Homeless Deaths Count — a project run by Matthew Fowle, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Housing Initiative at Penn — homeless deaths steadily rose from 6,345 in 2018 to 7,877 in 2020, the last year that was counted in the project. That included 346 deaths that year in New York City alone, where Neely was killed. Homeless deaths had shot up by 77 percent over the five years to 2020, according to a separate Guardian survey of local data from twenty US urban areas.
Being homeless in America is incredibly dangerous and deadly, and is only getting deadlier.
A research paper from the University of Chicago’s Becker Friedman Institute, which followed 140,000 homeless people counted in the 2010 Census for twelve years, found that non-elderly homeless have a risk of death three-and-a-half times higher than people who are housed, and a 60 percent greater risk than those who are simply living in poverty. Some of that rise is due to the onset of the pandemic in 2020, and drug overdoses remain the leading cause of death for homeless people under forty-five.
But, the paper notes, several studies also identify traumatic injuries from external forces, like car accidents, and homicide specifically as the second-most common causes. A separate 2022 study published in the JAMA Network Open medical journal found the same result after examining years of data on homeless deaths in San Francisco: While the proportion of overdose deaths has surged from 34 percent in 2016 to 82 percent in 2020, traumatic injuries, which include homicides, were the second leading cause of death in each of those years.
Yet even this outsize role of drug overdoses can’t be totally separated from the heightened risk of violence the homeless face. Multnomah County health officer Jenniffer Vines had told the Guardian that her office had anecdotal evidence that those living on the streets use meth to stay alert at night and protect themselves and their belongings, a claim backed up by this 2013 study of thirty meth users in Fort Collins, Colorado.
“One of the most fundamental perceived benefits of the alertness resulting from meth use for the participants in this study was the ability to cope with a multiplicity of vulnerabilities directly tied to homelessness or housing insecurity,” the study states. “Being out here living in the forest, to me, I’m vulnerable,” one of those interviewed told the study’s author. “If I go to sleep . . . I don’t hear nothing. That means somebody can slip up on me, you know.”
Couple that with the explosion in the prevalence of fentanyl in recent years, and it’s not surprising that deaths — particularly drug-related deaths — have soared among the homeless, especially in the parts of the country where it’s hardest to afford shelter.
Homeless Americans are overwhelmingly the victims of violence, not perpetrators.
In Los Angeles County, with the worst homelessness rate in the nation and where a family needs to earn six figures to afford average rent without living in hardship, the homeless mortality rate rose 55 percent from 2019 to 2021, with a startling 2,201 people dying in the latter year and fentanyl-related overdoses nearly tripling. In Orange County, the least affordable county in one of the least affordable parts of the country, fentanyl overdoses were the leading cause of the quadrupling of homeless deaths over a ten-year span.
Adding to this vicious cycle is the fact that even when meth isn’t laced with fentanyl, it can cause paranoia, psychosis, and various kinds of erratic behavior by those using it — making the kind of scenes that led to Neely’s murder much more likely.
Needless to say, none of this means that homeless people never perpetrate violence themselves. That would be an absurd argument to make. But the way those justifying Neely’s killing are carrying on, you’d think that homeless Americans are intrinsically, universally violent, or even the ones responsible for the post-pandemic spike in violent crime — and not, as they actually are, the overwhelming victims of that violence, often at the hands of those who aren’t suffering from the same deprivations they’re struggling with.
This ugly narrative is part of a wider demonization and persecution of the homeless that’s on the rise across the country, whether in the form of the homeless encampment sweeps that have now become routine in cities, or the policy-based scapegoating and attacks by unscrupulous hacks like New York mayor Eric Adams, who has cut services to the homeless, banned them from sheltering in the subway, and is forcibly hospitalizing them. If policy makers are upset by the growing spread of homeless populations around the country but refuse to change anything about the status quo to try to fix it, it’s always easier to just force this human reminder of our political failures out of sight and out of mind.
The distressing scene that ended in Jordan Neely’s death should not be a regular occurrence in a wealthy country, as it is in so many cities across the United States today. The obvious solution is fixing the broken political economy that’s feeding the rise in homelessness, which government financial assistance and public investment have shown some success in doing. Encouraging vigilante heroics and law enforcement crackdowns is shameful and depraved.
