U.S. President Donald Trump’s so-called ceasefire deal to end the Israeli genocide in Gaza managed to give Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nearly everything he could have hoped for, namely the immediate return of all remaining hostages, no Palestinian state, and the opportunity to restart the massacre and starvation campaign whenever he wants if Israel determines that Hamas is in violation of the agreement.
Israel’s ramped-up bombing and ground campaign in Gaza City has put a new level of strain on Palestinians and sent at least 780,000 of the 2 million believed huddled in the city to head south, where they have been corralled near the Egyptian border.
The Israeli military last week intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, which included about 40 boats that tried to access Gaza as the IDF continues its genocide and starvation campaign inside the enclave.
U.S. President Donald Trump—who was visibly upset over a broken escalator and teleprompter—addressed the UN General Assembly last week and asked: “What is the purpose of the United Nations?”
A humanitarian flotilla aiming to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza and deliver aid to the starving population inside the enclave was struck last week with drones and stun grenades, but has resumed its mission.
The IDF on Sunday struck al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical center, as its forces advance in Gaza City and the hospital struggles to treat the surge in patients because Israel is employing new techniques to kill civilians.
The IDF announced last week that it launched air strikes into Yemen in response to a drone strike in southern Israel that injured at least 20.
A newly released investigation by The New Humanitarian found that the IDF has killed nearly 3,000 Palestinians who had been seeking humanitarian aid, shedding new light on the horrible conditions inside the enclave as Israel pushes its forces deeper into Gaza City.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been emboldened by the full support of the Trump administration, has isolated himself from top generals in the IDF over recent decisions to invade Gaza City and bomb Hamas negotiators in Doha, according to a report.
Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister and top “settler,” said at a conference that Gaza “is becoming a real estate bonanza” and there are already discussions in place with the U.S. about “how to divide the percentages of the land in Gaza.”
