I have a question for the world from Hostages’ Square in Tel Aviv:
🕯️Sgt. Major Vladimir Loza, 36, fell in combat in the Gaza Strip. 895 Israeli soldiers have fallen in the October 7 War. May their memory be a blessing.
🕯️Amit Cohen, 19, fell in combat in the Gaza Strip. 894 Israeli soldiers have fallen in the October 7 War. May their memory be a blessing.
The idea that Israel can leave Hamas in power and wait for Hamas to “give us an excuse” to restart the war is insane. What if that “excuse” is another hostage crisis. If you’re Hamas, wouldn’t you do that?
I have a question. The narrative is that we are supposed to always beg Hamas to “end the suffering” and release hostages. Let’s say Hamas releases the hostages. Then we all go back to things as normal. Then Hamas attacks in a year or two and takes more hostages. And so we go…
"Down, Down with Hamas!" We need a 60-day ceasefire to start talks on Hamas relinquishing power in Gaza. That's the demand it needs to hear from the Arab world. It would be a shameful betrayal if these people are condemned to live under Hamas tyranny. x.com/i/status/19475…
The people of Gaza are telling the world who the criminals are. Hamas is a tyrannical organization that brings only suffering and fear. This evil must be eradicated.
I woke up this morning from an attempted ballistic missile attack on Tel Aviv. Straight into two interviews with UK media, which started about Gaza as if Iran's proxies in Yemen hadn't just sent millions of Israelis to their bomb shelters. Like a parallel universe.
Good recap of Israel’s impossible dilemmas.
🔴🧵ANALYSIS: WHAT ARE ISRAEL'S OPTIONS IN GAZA? Today, it was reported that the IDF began operations in Deir al-Balah. Hams may hold some of our hostages in this area, and the move potentially endangers their lives. At this point, Israel has three options on the table.
We wake up each morning from missile sirens and wonder which country in the Middle East it’s coming from today.

Contrary to misleading reports, no damage was caused to the Church of Saint George in Taybeh. The fire was limited to an adjacent open area, not the holy site. Emergency services received reports from local residents, including both Israelis and one Palestinian caller. The…
It's day 655 of the October 7 Hostage Crisis. 50 hostages are trapped in the dungeons of Gaza. 20 are presumed alive, at imminent risk of death. 30 have been murdered and Hamas is ransoming their bodies. The Hamas terror state must #LetThemGoNOW🎗️
What a bald-faced liar. The international community runs Gaza’s health ministry? No. It reports to Hamas.
‘Why do you have to say “Hamas-run health ministry”?’ Ambassador @hzomlot pulls up @TomSwarbrick1 for his framing of Gaza's death count.
The @IsraelMFA led by @gidonsaar Foreign Min says it perfectly--when Hamas thinks you do good work, you are doing evil. How embarrassing for a nation to side w/ a terror group like Hamas & blame a nation whose civilians were massacred for fighting to get hostages released.
If Hamas embraces you - you are in the wrong place. Hamas’s praise for the statement by the group of countries is the best proof of the mistake they made – part of them out of good intentions and part of them out of an obsession against Israel. We are at a very sensitive moment…
Do they want a “negotiated ceasefire” or an “unconditional ceasefire”? 25 foreign ministers including @DavidLammy, @SenatorWong, @melaniejoly & @SimonHarrisTD (no expectations there)… and not one realized they’re all contradicting themselves!
Yes there’s a para calling for a hostage ransom through a “negotiated ceasefire.” But that’s inconsistent with the call for an “unconditional ceasefire.” How do you negotiate something unconditional? Incoherent word salad masquerading as diplomacy.
25 nations just called on Israel to abandon the hostages. That’s what an “unconditional” ceasefire means.

"The two Israelis were released after being questioned and Channel 12 reports that they have most likely already left Belgium." Make no mistake: what Hezbollah & Hamas supporter Abou Jahjah is doing has nothing to do with justice, but with intimidating and terrorizing IDF…
