Israel's far-right wants the killings to continue!
Two far-right Israeli ministers have threatened to resign from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government over a cease-fire proposal outlined by President Biden on Friday. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Israel#gaza#Hamas
"Saying no to Biden means saying yes to more futile, wholesale bloodshed, of Israeli soldiers &, more so, of Gaza's inhabitants; yes to the death of the last of the hostages in Hamas captivity; yes to genocide; yes to war in the north; yes to declaring Israel a pariah state... And someone affirming all of the above should be condemned as a war criminal by his own country, unless we are all war criminals"
Gideon Levy in Haaretz today
I want peace in the Middle East, and Israel has offered a new peace treaty that is backed by many countries, including Middle East countries, as well as the US.
Will Hamas accept this peace treaty?
Will they abide by the peace treaty?
And will those who cry "Ceasefire Now", promote this treaty?
NYT—Breaking News: President #Biden said that #Hamas was no longer capable of carrying out a major terrorist attack on #Israel and declared that it was time for a permanent cease-fire in #Gaza. “It’s time for this war to end,” he said.
Earlier today I saw a headline that said #Biden was calling on #Israel for a "permanent" ceasefire with #Hamas in #Gaza. Now he's telling Hamas they should agree to a 6-week ceasefire, during which time they release all hostages—thus giving up any leverage they have. After those six weeks, "the ceasefire will still continue as long as negotiations continue." As John Mullaney said, "that's something, honey, but it's not" a permanent ceasefire. (Yeah, he was talking about hot dog eating contests.)
Two Red Crescent paramedics were murdered by #IDF while they were working in #Rafah last night. Their ambulance was hit directly and intentionally.
Of course the usual excuse by IDF is that there were #Hamas fighters in the ambulances. Ignoring that injured fighters are not legitimate targets, specially if they are inside an ambulance receiving care.

What is your opinion of the current situation in Gaza?"

"The center of Rafah city is in our hands!
1.2 million Palestinians moved up north towards Kahn Yunis. It’s time to destroy ALL tunnels terror infrastructures and the thousands remaining terrorists under the ground." #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Israel#gaza#Hamas
“#Israel put forward a new cease-fire proposal and hostage release deal on Monday, which has now been passed on to #Hamas, an Egyptian security source told ABC News.
Mediators are awaiting a response from Hamas within 24 hours, the source said.
This is the first time Israel has taken the first move to submit a draft proposal since the war began, according to the source. Previous proposals have been initiated by Egyptian and Qatari mediators”
"Welcome to the State of Denial. You've arrived in an alternative reality where terrorists have become heroes valiantly battling oppressors, genocidal slogans are triumphant calls for freedom, and the natural response to a terror group that slaughtered 1,200 people and took another 250 hostages is to offer them a state."
'After their dismissal of the ICC and ICJ calls on Israel to comply with international law, how can the US and its partners make a convincing case again that their rules are fair and universal, and so must be followed by all? It is brazenly clear that the rules-based order is not about democratic values, the rule of law and the sanctity of human lives, but the observance of a global hierarchy in which some lives are sacred and others are not.' #ICC#israel#hamas#justicehttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/27/icc-israel-benjamin-netanyahu-arrest-warrant-us-west
