🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 Netanyahu on Iran:

You can’t do revolutions from the air—that is true.

There has to be a ground component. There are many possibilities for this ground component.

I take the liberty of not sharing all these possibilities.

🇮🇱🛢 Confirming a longstanding geopolitical theory, Netanyahu says that he "envisions" oil pipelines running from the Gulf countries West through Israel to the Mediterranean to Europe to avoid conflicts with Iran in the future.

The move would dramatically improve Israel's standing in the world.

🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷📝 On Benjamin Netanyahu's recent speech:

The hour long press conference held by the Israeli PM had a central and a secondary theme:

◾️ The main point is that Iran has already been defeated/degraded to the point where it doesn't pose a threat to Israel anymore and regime change is not entirely necessary any longer

◾️ The secondary point is that the Hormuz will be reopened as the war's final act probably with the symbolic seizure of one of the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf but the real change will be the construction of new oil & gas pipelines going through Israel (key condition) that will replace the need for the Strait of Hormuz as it will make the transport of oil & gas from the oil & gas fields in and around the Persian Gulf over land or to terminals on the Red and Mediterranean Seas.

Regardless if Iran being "degraded" is true or not, Netanyahu is looking for an off-ramp and a way to end this conflict as Israel is dangerously low on interceptors and the world is beginning to feel the economic effects of the war he started. This is also a reason why Netanyahu insisted so much on Trump carrying an equal or even greater blame for the war than himself, with the Israeli PM not wanting to be solely responsible for the economic fallout and global recession which he caused.

The degradation of the Iranian regime will be seen in the way Iran responds to Israel and the US' ceasefire offers as it holds an upper hand with Israel's air defenses heavily degraded and a U.S. military afraid of getting too close to Iran. If Iran chooses the ceasefire, it means that the damage inflicted by the US and Israel was bad enough, or it can continue to attack Israel and risk a nuclear attack by Israel in response.

🇮🇱🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸✝️ Taybeh: West Bank Christian town under renewed settler incursion

Israeli settlers escalate their incursions into Taybeh, the West Bank’s last fully Christian town, raising concerns over further land appropriation. The parish priest, Father Bashar Fawadleh, appeals for international intervention, as residents face mounting restrictions and call for peace, justice, and protection.

Amid the continuing Israeli attacks in Lebanon, radical Jewish settlers have increased violent attacks on Palestinian civilians and villages in the West Bank.

Sweeping decisions by the Israeli cabinet to expand settlements are placing further strain on the already fragile equilibrium of the territory, where coordinated raids by settlers have not spared the only entirely Christian community in the area, located east of Jerusalem and north of Ramallah.

The town of Taybeh, widely known as the last fully Christian Palestinian town in the West Bank, has faced repeated attacks on homes and property, with a sharp rise of incursions since June 2025. Over the past two days, a new escalation has seen settlers enter and take control of a cement factory and quarry on the western outskirts of the town.

Since the morning of March 19, Israeli settlers have reportedly entered the site, where they have conducted Talmudic rituals and prayers. Their presence has continued for a second consecutive day, effectively asserting control over the area. Witnesses also report that an Israeli flag was raised atop one of the plant’s storage tanks.

Speaking to Vatican Radio, Taybeh’s Latin parish priest, Father Bashar Fawadleh, described a marked shift in the pattern of attacks.

He explained that earlier incidents had been concentrated in the eastern part of Taybeh, but that the latest developments signal a new phase, with settlers targeting key public and economic infrastructure in the western area.

🇺🇸🇧🇾The USA is officially lifting sanctions against Belinvestbank, the Development Bank, and the Belarusian Ministry of Finance.

Also today, there were reports that a visit by Lukashenko to Washington might take place.

🇸🇦🛢 Saudi Arabia is ramping up oil exports amid the Strait of Hormuz closure:

Crude oil shipments from Yanbu, a port on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, are up to 4.19 million barrels per day.

This marks a +185% increase from the ~1.47 million barrels per day that moved through the port in February, before the Iran War.

The surge is being powered by a 746-mile pipeline rerouting crude from the eastern oil fields to Yanbu, bypassing the blocked Strait of Hormuz entirely.

Shipments have also more than doubled since January’s 1.29 million barrels per day.

As a result, Saudi Arabia has already recovered more than half of its pre-war export capacity of ~7 million barrels per day.

Furthermore, at least 32 large oil tankers are waiting near Yanbu to load, with more still heading to the port.

Saudi Arabia is aggressively looking to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

🇸🇦🇮🇷🛢 — Saudi Arabia has warned that oil prices could rise to as much as $180 per barrel if disruptions from the Iran war continue beyond April, WSJ reports.

➡️ While higher prices may bring short-term gains, officials are concerned they could lead to reduced global demand or even a recession, hurting long-term revenues.

➡️ They also worry about the perception that Saudi Arabia is profiting from a conflict it is not directly involved in, adding geopolitical risks.
