Israeli citizen Fares Abu al-Hija, 32, a resident of Kaukab in northern Israel, was sentenced to 4½ years in prison after he was convicted of spying for Iran, including gathering intelligence on former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and traveling to Gallant’s home in Moshav Amikam, where he was arrested.   Fares Abu al-Hija,is a 32-year-old Israeli man who was sentenced to 55 months in prison in September 2026 for gathering intelligence on behalf of Iranian operatives. Moshav Amikam is a picturesque, Moshav (cooperative agricultural village) located in the rolling hills of northern Israel, near Zikhron Ya'akov.

He was accused of carrying out several tasks for Iran between October 2025 and January 2026, ending with the mission outside Gallant’s home in northern Israel’s Amikam, where Abu al-Hija was arrested.

Contact: Between October 2025 and January 2026, he communicated via Telegram with a handler who called himself "Martin".

Tasks: He carried out several assignments despite suspecting the handler worked for foreign intelligence. These tasks included hiding activated cellphones in Haifa and Kiryat Haim, recording a cafe in Tel Aviv, and photographing streets near the home of former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in Amikam.

Payment: He received a total of about $3,600 in cryptocurrency through the Binance app. He was arrested outside Yoav Gallant's residence in late January 2026.

Other tasks included recording a Tel Aviv cafe and hiding cellphones, money and a password for a cryptocurrency wallet. The tasks earned Abu al-Hija a total of some $3,600, prosecutors said.

Abu al-Hija received the tasks and the payments from an account he corresponded with on Telegram. He suspected the contact was an Iranian agent, but neglected to investigate the matter, the court said.

Kaukab (properly known as Kaukab Abu al-Hija) is located in the Lower Galilee region of northern Israel.  It is an Arab Muslim village and local council situated within Israel's Northern District, specifically positioned along Road 784 between the cities of Shefa-'Amr and Karmiel. 

Karmiel is a planned modern city located in the Beit HaKerem Valley in northern Israelsl.  It was home to Americans that I knew as it wasn't far from Safed.  The government founded the town in 1964 as a planned development project.  The name means "God's vineyards" in Hebrew.  The population is around 48,000 to 50,000 people.  Many immigrants from the former Soviet Union and other regions live here.

Copy That, Mr. President, Copy that

Nadene Goldfoot                                       

The 3rd and current Supreme Leader of Iran is Mojtaba Khamenei. He was officially selected by the Assembly of Experts in March 2026 to succeed his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

  Blame the Shiite Government of the past 45 years for Death Everywhere     Blame Iran for wanting to get rid of Netanyhu with their intercontinental ballistic missiles when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was president(2005-2013).                       

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "should be taken seriously". He described Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and the "architect of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza". 

By holding back relevant information explaining Israel's position in Gaza and all that was going on to damage their reputation, the whole world has followed Mamdani's words like sheep.  

Responding to comments by NYC Mayor Mamdani about potentially having Prime Minister Netanyahu arrested in NYC for war crimes, President Trump wrote, “Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America."  

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague does not have practical jurisdiction over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while he is in the United States, as the US does not recognize the court's authority.    Arrest and Extraction: The ICC has no police force and relies on its 124 member nations to make arrests. If a foreign leader with an active ICC warrant travels to a member state (like European Union countries), those states are obligated to detain and transfer them to The Hague. However, this does not apply in the U.S

2026 Middle East Tensions: After the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mamdani fiercely condemned the military action as an "illegal war of aggression". This statement drew fierce backlash from conservatives, with critics accusing him of being sympathetic to the regime.

 He is fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which recently killed 52,000 innocent protestors, and has spent the last 47 years killing American soldiers, and others. The only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented spiral of death and destruction.”

As we all know, it was the Ayatollahs and their religious government that had such goals in their over zealous acts, throwing all decency aside.  Unfortunately, Mamdani himself happens to be one of them, and I doubt if many people realize this.  Mamdani is a Shi'ite Muslim, same as Iran is a Shi'ite country, the land against Israel, I'll never understand the New York voters, even Jewish ones who voted for him;  who must be thinking of what that vote means just to them, what they'll get out of it.  

Political Governance: Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the country has been governed as a theocracy. Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking clerics hold ultimate political and moral authority, integrating religious law (sharia) into the daily administration of the state.

Mamdani has not given up.  Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in an interview with The New York Times that he was in “an active conversation” with New York City’s Law Department on whether he had the authority to arrest the Israeli leader.New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani renewed his vow to explore the legal feasibility of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the UN General Assembly. Mamdani stated that Netanyahu "belongs in The Hague" as a war criminal, and that he is in "active conversation" with the city's Law Department to see what actions are allowed under local law.
