"Such beauty! This is what happens to whoever brings food to Hamas" Judeonazi settlers in West Bank blocked two Palestinian trucks, claiming they carry Gaza aid, threw rocks at the drivers, wounding one of them, and destroyed goods. No arrests were made. State-backed terrorists. https://x.com/ireallyhateyou/status/1790807200933318876
“So that the problem [of Gaza] does not return, two things must be done: return to the Gaza Strip and encourage the voluntary departure of the residents of Gaza. This is moral, rational and humanitarian.”
Ben-Gvir
“First, we must return to Gaza now. We are coming home to the holy land. And second, we must encourage migration – encourage the voluntary migration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
“For preserving the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love.”
Israeli’s Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi
Settlers mobs south of #AlKhalil in the #WestBank set fire to the aid trucks that they stopped and damaged this afternoon, which were loaded with aid and headed to the #Gaza Strip.
No sign of Israeli police of IDF to protect the convoy or stop the terrorists settlers from destroying aid packages, mostly baby formula, diapers and medical equipment.
Today marks two years since #AJArabic Palestinian-American veteran journalist #ShireenAbuAkleh was shot and killed by Israeli Forces.
The Al Jazeera family & the world have not stopped seeking #justiceforshireen and will continue to honour her bravery, courage and loyalty to journalism.
Documentation shows the extent of #torture perpetrated by Israeli prison guards on the released #prisoner Adeeb Mustafa Samoudi while in the occupation’s “Gilboa” prison.
Samoudi, who is from #Jenin, spent a total of two years in Israeli prisons with no charges and was released yesterday.
76 universities in #Spain decided to sever cooperation relations with #Israeli#universities and research centers and linked the return of cooperation to the occupation universities’ condemnation of the #occupation army’s invasion of the #Gaza Strip.
Earlier today, Israeli settlers launched an attack on the #UNRWA headquarters in occupied #Jerusalem, setting fire to its surroundings. Israeli authorities have not intervened or made any arrests among the Israeli attackers.
Ma'ariv newspaper describes the situation as: There is a new prime minister in “Israel”.
They add that in practice, Benjamin Netanyahu has become the servant of his master, Itamar #BenGvir, and this raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated?
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir appeared in front of the cameras a few days ago while leaving the Prime Minister’s Office, acting Prime Minister, and announced in an unambiguous tone: “I warned the Prime Minister that we will not enter #Rafah, nor will there is an illegal deal.
The Prime Minister heard the words, and promised that "Israel" would enter Rafah, and promised that the war would continue, and promised that there would be no illegal deal.
These words and tone of voice leave no room for doubt in the heart of every listener. There is a new prime minister in the State of #Israel.
This raises the obvious question: To what extent has Netanyahu deteriorated? It has reached the point where even a response from a prime minister, in order to preserve his dignity, is not uttered.
Netanyahu, despite thousands of disagreements, knows what the majority of the people want: the release of detainees, and he also knows what is important and useful to the people.
But he follows Ben Gvir and Bezalel #Smotrich, because that is what is good politically for Netanyahu for obvious reasons.
The Israeli military have started it's ground offensive against Rafah by the border of Egypt by air, artillery and tanks.
There are reports of heavy bombings and classes by the border, with no reaction from the Egyptian military despite loud warning about such acts just a few weeks ago.
ISRAEL OPENS EREZ CROSSING TO AID FOR FIRST TIME in northern Gaza, as video above shows trucks passing through border wall sealed shut since October 7.
Gazan authorities still say aid deliveries far less than what Washington and Tel Aviv claim, with the latter claiming an average of 300-400 trucks a day.
Head of #Gaza's Government Media Office Maarouf says average of 163 trucks a day only are passing through to Gaza, with at least 1,000 trucks needed to make up for dire lack of aid faced by 7 months of siege. Only 419 trucks entered north Gaza in all of April alone.

Going through my social media, it seems like Gaza doesn't even exist.
It's all about student protests and police brutality in US.
In the mean time, the stories of Maas Graves, mass execution of healthcare staff and mutilated bodies of palestinians in Khan Yunis have all but disappeared from the news.
No news about starvation.
No news about murder of aid workers by IDF.
No news of bombing tent cities with fire bombs.
No news of Netanyahu ignoring the peace proposal.
No news that Biden keep sending weapons and money to Netanyahu.
I guess it's good that we see the student protests are spreading, but it should not be forgetting WHY they are protesting and what over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza are forced to live every day.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu said they will invade #Rafah to "destroy" #Hamas "with or without a hostage deal."
I'm sure the BS machines of Israeli apologists and genocide enablers will keep on sharing the same baseless garbage about the "generous" deal that #GenocideJoe and the genocide apologist Blinken have negotiated.
Who wants to bet they completely ignore this and "focus" on the made up "deal" instead?
The International Court of Justice has refused to order #Germany to stop sending #weapons and aid to Israel, rejecting a request from #Nicaragua.
Nicaragua brought the case arguing that by providing arms and other support to Israel, Germany is failing to prevent possible genocide against Palestinians in Israel's war with #Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
So much for genocide preventation.
Once again we witness the impunity of the apartheid genocidal regime of Israel and it's global network of supporters.
Hardcore Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "We must obliterate #Rafah, Deir al-Balah, and Nuseirat. The memory of the Amalek must be erased. No partial destruction will suffice; only absolute and complete devastation."
He has strong position and support in Israeli government. Do not expect him accepting anything less even if the hostage exchange deal have reached.
They want to make Gaza unhabitable. PERIOD.
Nothing short of that is defeat and unacceptable for fascist coalition government of #Netanyahu.
But #GenocideJoe and Israeli friendly media want us to believe that the negotiations are about a lasting ceasefire, removal of all Israeli forces from Gaza and letting displaced Palestinians to move back to northern #Gaza.
Don't fall for their lies
Without strong international pressure z Israel will not bend. EVER.
Israeli occupation drones have opened fire on Palestinian civilians inside their homes, killing one and injuring two in the al-Mashahreh area in al-Tuffah neighborhood, #Gaza City.
“We will continue to bring as much food as possible into Gaza, by land, air or sea.We had to make a decision - to stop feeding altogether during one of the worst hunger crises ever or to continue feeding knowing that aid workers and civilians were being killed.
We considered all the options, but ultimately, we decided to continue to feed and continue our mission.”
Senior Israeli official: "We hope that what we have proposed is enough to bring Hamas into serious negotiations. We hope they understand that we are serious about reaching a deal - and we are. They need to understand that it is possible that if the first stage is implemented, it will be possible to advance to the next stages and reach the end of the war"
Israel has broken every single agreement they have made with Palestinians.. this is yet another word play by IDF to act like they seek peace and not complete destruction of Gaza to a level that it's unhabitable for a long time or possibly forever.
