💥Netanyahu is now aping Witkoff's tough talk but I'll let you in on a little secret: There is no "alternative options to bring our hostages home." It doesn't exist. Those still alive will come home in a deal or they will be left to die. Those are the options.

"You're going to see a change in tactics, a full military effort by Israel to take Gaza down," said Senator Lindsey Graham. thenationalnews.com/news/us/2025/0…

#Trevorphillips: "The point I'm really just making is, isn't it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole" Bob Geldof: "Stop it Trevor.. if Israelis want to protest.. stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border & let your own army stop you.. shame on you"

Three weeks after the International Criminal Court charged Yoav Gallant with starving children to death:

🇮🇱 Thomas Friedman: “Without a real change in direction and leadership in Israel, we’ll end in a place we’ve never seen before: my grandchildren will learn what it is to be Jewish in a world where a Jewish State is not a source of pride but a pariah State. I never imagined this.”

Egypt doesn't control its border with Gaza. Israel does. IDF is positioned on the border from the Gaza side. Nothing and nobody can come in from Egypt without Israeli permission

#Gaza: "The so-called GHF distribution scheme is a sadistic death trap. Snipers open fire randomly on crowds, as if they're given a license to kill. Humanitarian assistance is not the job of mercenaries." - @JulietteTouma, @UNRWA buff.ly/Q9VvnGV

Georges Abdullah is a dying breed of Arab activists. Secular, humanist, and Pan-Arabist.

A major lesson of the Bush era is that when there is no accountability, the same people remain in positions of influence and make decisions based on the same logics again and again. So no, I don’t think people who enabled genocide for nearly 2 years should get an easy pass

What are Arab countries doing to pressure Israel to let aid into Gaza? What was the point of the "peace deal" Abraham Accords? To drop parcels of food on starving Palestinians instead of driving trucks of aid into them?

Israel will now allow Arab countries to resume the airdrops of food into Gaza. This is a step that hasn't happened for many months. It happened last year when the humanitarian situation was extremely dire. At the same time Israeli officials continue to claim there is no…

During my recent visit to Beirut, I stated that Hizballah is “an issue that must be resolved by the Lebanese themselves,” reaffirming a long-standing position of the United States — that Hizballah represents a challenge which only the Lebanese government can address. The United…

UN: equivalent of 6,000 food and medicines trucks cannot enter Gaza. Children die of hunger. 1,000 people killed in food distribution points. EU "agreement" to increase "substantially" aid has proven meaningless. It was just an excuse for some MMSS to refuse any action.
