[Sharma Ji]

The US is realizing that many simultaneous competitors have emerged challenging its hegemony.

Russia and China to aap bhool jao to fukk around with.......its ridiculous to even ponder doing that.

Next is Iran bhai and Iran is very strong now and refusing to budge even an inch. Fighting Iran will devastate any remaining US allies if SHTF and Iran takes out all the oil n gas in the PG in two minutes.

So Iran is pretty much a no go and that just leaves the dalit people in the ME and subcontinent which don't really matter bhai and btw this hopeless lot includes the EU, third class Australia/ Canada and NZ.

What else to say here bhai.......lol

Aaaaaaahahahahaaaaaaaa.........

Iran have oil, is about it.

Unki saari miltri proxies tentacles gone, non existant air force or navy... what they do have is not of significance anyway.

Israel blocked the entry of aid trucks into Gaza yesterday as a standoff over the truce that has halted fighting for the past six weeks escalated, with Hamas calling on Egyptian and Qatari mediators to intervene.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said earlier that it had adopted a proposal by US President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza for the Ramadan and Passover periods, hours after the first phase of the previously agreed ceasefire expired.

If agreed, the truce would halt fighting until the end of the Ramadan fasting period around March 31 and the Jewish Passover holiday around April 20.

The truce would be conditional on Hamas releasing half of the living and dead hostages on the first day, with the remainder released at the conclusion, if an agreement is reached on a permanent ceasefire.

Hamas wants Israel to move to 2nd phase of ceasefire

Hamas says it is committed to the originally agreed ceasefire that had been scheduled to move into a second phase, with negotiations aimed at a permanent end to the war, and it has rejected the idea of a temporary extension to the 42-day truce.

Meanwhile, the ministry of health in Hamas-run Gaza said four people were killed and six others wounded in Israeli attacks yesterday after the first phase of a fragile truce in the territory drew to a close.

"Since this morning, four dead and six wounded" have been brought to "hospitals in the Gaza Strip following Israeli attacks in various parts of the territory", the ministry said in a statement.

Egyptian sources said that the Israeli delegation in Cairo had sought to extend the first phase by 42 days, while Hamas wanted to move to the second phase of the ceasefire deal. Spokesman Hazem Qassem said that the group rejected Israel's "formulation" of extending the first phase.

Under the original agreement, the second phase was intended to see the start of negotiations over the release of the remaining 59 hostages, the full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and a final end to the war.​

Israel worked to ‘collapse’ Gaza deal

Israel worked to ‘collapse’ Gaza deal
Says Hamas; Israeli fire kills 2 Palestinians in the enclave

Palestinian group Hamas yesterday accused Israel of working to "collapse" a ceasefire agreement for Gaza and evade a continuation of the truce amid an impasse over its implementation.

"Violations of the agreement during the first phase prove beyond a doubt the (Israeli) occupation government was interested in the collapse of the agreement and worked hard to achieve that," senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said in a video statement

Meanwhile, Israeli fire killed at least two people in Rafah and injured three others in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, raising fear among Palestinians that the ceasefire could collapse altogether after Israel imposed a total blockade on the shattered enclave.

Gaza stores emptied and price of sack of flour more than doubles

Two Israeli government officials said mediators had asked Israel for a few more days to resolve the standoff.

Israel raised the stakes on Sunday by imposing a total blockade on all supplies, including food and fuel, to sustain 2.3 million Gaza people living among the ruins after the 15-month conflict.

Hundreds of lorries carrying supplies were backed up in Egypt, denied permission to enter. Gaza residents said shops had been swiftly emptied of all supplies and the price of a sack of flour had more than doubled overnight.

"Where will our food come from?" said Salah al-Hajj Hassan, a resident in Jabalia, where families returned to destroyed homes to live in the rubble.​

Why Palestinians are now worried about the ceasefire

Palestine is at an immensely fragile position, where the ceasefire deal—a deal largely made by the US—could bring us back to square one.

In nearly eight decades of negotiating history between Israel and the Palestinians, the rule is enshrined that the weapon of the Palestinians' in the negotiations is their right and the paper that establishes it, and that Israel's weapon is the power of fire. In other words, we always find ourselves with the narrative that Israel is doing completely contrary to what was agreed, and that very dynamic also refers to the US, which is always accused of double standards; first, ensuring the interest of Israel in full, and second, ignoring rights for the Palestinians, which they claim to stand for, in engineering agreements throughout the years.

The judgement in this equation is always power in all its military, economic and alliance components.

In all the agreements and understandings reached, Israel was exercising its commitment to them on the measure of the gains it has achieved for Israel, and the harm inflicted on the Palestinians by dispensing with them. Take for example, the Oslo Accords, signed in the White House and the aftermath that saw its promise utterly left unfulfilled for the rights of the Palestinians.

Palestine is at an immensely fragile position, where the ceasefire deal—a deal largely made by the US—could bring us back to square one. As widely known, the deal came in three stages: the first has advantages for both parties, and the second has more advantages for the Palestinians, in that it includes a more permanent withdrawal of Israeli troops and authorities' presence in Gaza, which they destroyed.

Israel's fascist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office came minutes after the first phase ended, and as talks have begun on starting the second phase that's aimed at ending the war and seeing all remaining living hostages in Gaza returned home, he issued a statement describing a US proposal—a ceasefire extension through Passover, or April 20. On the first day, half the hostages, alive and dead, would be released. The rest would be released if agreement is reached on a permanent ceasefire. The extension would provide Israel with its desired advantages to continue illegal occupation, and the fate of the second and third phases are becoming determined, according to the unequal equation based on Israeli military force, which, even if not exercised, remains threatening enough.

Since the beginning of the first phase, Israel has been thinking, planning and working on how to defer the second phase and continue to deprive the Palestinians of its advantages, benefiting from the fact that the exchange will reduce the pressure from the Netanyahu government to bring home the Israeli hostages, and neutralise the hate against them, while also benefiting from the time factor that gives it valuable opportunities to officially and actually abolish the second phase.

The Palestinians and Arabs can now admit that what is happening now is a lack of even the minimum balance that came from Washington—the American position under the Biden administration was characterised by a synthetic duality. Now, it is to unconditionally give Israel everything it needs and beyond more than the means of war, and giving the Palestinians in return—very limited drops of financial support to beat all the lingering traumas from the atrocities they have witnessed, and lived through. The Trump administration has unequivocally moved the already-lopsided equation between the US and Israel in another direction, as the US is no longer a mediator but rather a direct party by giving Israel an open mandate to do to the Palestinians whatever it wants.

Recent events in other parts of the world also indicate it could get much more frightening and worse for the Middle East. The kind of US government which staunchly supported Ukraine against Russian invasion, selectively following international law, is also vanishing from Washington. Ukrainian President Zelensky's humiliation in the White House should be understood as greater and deeper than being a verbal quarrel between two presidents. It established the beginning of a dangerous era in which the creditor is a master and the debtor is a slave. Countries, including the Arab states, who could also be candidates for similar insults—as would be Europe—have the actual potential to save themselves and their prestige before the axe falls on the head. It is incumbent upon nations that still have power against Donald Trump to act before things take a turn for the worse.

We are already witnessing a pattern of behaviour in what is happening about Gaza, where the stages of the agreed deal are slyly being turned into one stage—which is only to be extended until the recovery of all Israeli hostages, living and dead, and then we will see everything that had nothing to do with what is written on the paper. We have seen this game before: postponing the negotiations which save Trump's ally Netanyahu the precious time he needs to rearrange his cards in the Israeli political arena to remain in power. As long as the war continues, even in parallel with the temporary truce and exchange, Netanyahu will remain the ruler in Israel until the last day of his term, with renewed chances of reaching another term.

The papers of agreements and understandings from the beginning of the Palestinian cause to the present day, have been burning in all rounds of its right struggle with the Israeli fire, to enshrine an equation that says: "What can the ink, paper, signatures, mediators and witnesses do with the fire other than burning and turning into ashes?"

Disarming ‘a red line’ amid Gaza truce impasse

Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP yesterday that disarming is a red line for his movement and other Palestinian groups in negotiations to extend the fragile Gaza ceasefire.

Disarming ‘a red line’ amid Gaza truce impasse
Says Hamas leader as Israel demands ‘full demilitarisation’
​

• Arab summit draft communique adopts Egyptian plan for Gaza​
• Hamas urges Arab summit to 'thwart' Gaza displacement plan​

Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP yesterday that disarming is a red line for his movement and other Palestinian groups in negotiations to extend the fragile Gaza ceasefire.

"Any talk about the resistance's weapons is nonsense. The resistance's weapons are a red line for Hamas and all resistance factions," Abu Zuhri said shortly after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar demanded the "full demilitarisation" of Gaza to proceed to the second stage of the January truce.

"We don't have an agreement on phase two. We demand total demilitarisation of Gaza, Hamas and Islamic Jihad out, and give us our hostages. If they agree to that we can implement tomorrow," Saar told a news conference in Jerusalem. He also charged that humanitarian aid had become the "number one source of revenue" for Hamas, as he defended his government's decision to block all deliveries to Gaza.

Arab leaders yesterday gathered in Cairo to discuss an alternative to a widely condemned plan from US President Donald Trump to assume control of war-battered Gaza and displace its Palestinian population.

A summit draft communique adopted an Egyptian plan for Gaza's future and called on the international community and financial institutions to provide support for the plan quickly, reports Reuters.

Hamas urged Arab leaders to "thwart" the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza.

"We look forward to an effective Arab role that ends the humanitarian tragedy created by the occupation in the Gaza Strip... and thwarts the (Israeli) occupation's plans to displace (Palestinians)," a statement by the group said.

After the first phase of the truce ended over the weekend without agreement on how to continue, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced a halt to "all entry of goods and supplies" into the territory.

Israel's "closure of the Gaza Strip crossings for the third consecutive day, and its prevention of the entry of aid and goods, represents a Zionist insistence on violating the ceasefire agreement, and a clear war crime", Hamas said in its statement.​
