The #IDF said another 4 #Israeli hostages abducted by #Hamas on #Oct7 had died in captivity & that their bodies are being held by the #Palestinian Islamist group.
The 4 were identified as Chaim Peri, 80, Yoram Metzger, 80, Amiram Cooper, 84, & Nadav Popplewell, 51.
All 4 were filmed alive in hostage videos posted by #Hamas.
#Hamas said that Popplewell had died of wounds sustained during an Israeli air strike when posting his video last month.
#IDF spox Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said that new intelligence led to confirmation of their deaths. The military believes the 4 were killed together in the southern #Gaza city of #KhanYounis a "number of months" ago when Israeli forces were operating in the city, Hagari said in remarks that were broadcast.
The more resistance that the colonized shows, the more brutal the colonizer becomes. Genocidal Israel is now walking in the footsteps of all other settler colonies on their deathbed.
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?
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.)
US-Präsident Biden stellt Israels Pläne für eine Waffenruhe vor
