Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, October 26, 2025

A public WhatsApp channel run by Jewish extremists posted a message in the group on Thursday boasting of how many attacks had been carried out against Palestinian civilians and their property in the West Bank over the course of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, which ended on October 22. It said that 33 vehicles belonging to Palestinians were burnt during the course of the month, 12 homes were set on fire and 25 Palestinians injured during extremist settler attacks. The post also boasts that “thousands of olive trees were uprooted,” the tires of dozens of vehicles were punctured, hundreds of vehicle windscreens were smashed, and dozens of fields and orchards were set on fire.

Rumors of Xi being sidelined were greatly exaggerated and ideology remains as important as ever to the Party. “The plenary session emphasized that, in economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must uphold Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the “Three Represents,” and the Scientific Outlook on Development; fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; and thoroughly implement the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the plenary sessions of its 20th Central Committee.” Those magic words “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” provide proof that Xi is very much in control.
