MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

[Old School]

You all will see now how Hamas will soon be ready to accept a US-sponsored inconvenient ceasefire deal favorable to Israel and brokered by Egypt and Qatar. Hamas' biggest supporter, tough guy Ebrahim Raisi, has been REMOVED !!! Now, they will also bring Benny Gantz to power in Israel by removing Netanyahu via the ICC arrest warrant. The next will be the Abraham accord between Israel and the Saudis. Ebrahim Raisi was rocking their boat, and they hit directly in the center of gravity.

The Biden administration sent a letter to the Israeli government demanding it act to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next 30 days or risk violating US laws governing foreign military assistance, suggesting US military aid could be in jeopardy.

The Sunday letter, jointly written by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, is addressed to Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. It marks a significant new step by the US to try to compel Israel to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

They write that the US has deep concerns about the situation and ask for “urgent and sustained actions by your government this month to reverse this trajectory.”

Since this Spring, the amount of aid delivered to Gaza has dropped more than 50% and the quantity delivered in September “was the lowest of any month during the past year,” they added.

The deadline falls after the US presidential election on November 5.

Updates .............

• Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have assured the US that a counterstrike on Iran will be limited to military targets rather than oil or nuclear facilities, according to a source.

• The Biden administration wrote a letter to the Israeli government, demanding it act to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days. The United Nations has warned that Israel is effectively sealing off northern Gaza and may be carrying out a “large-scale forced transfer” of civilians, which it said would amount to a war crime.

• Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general called on Israelis to accept a ceasefire in Lebanon or face “pain,” while Netanyahu has vowed to keep striking Hezbollah targets across Lebanon, including in Beirut. The US “opposes” Israel’s bombing campaign in the capital, largely due to the civilian toll, a State Department spokesperson said Tuesday.

• Meanwhile, initial components and military personnel for the advanced air defense system the US is providing to Israel arrived in the country Monday, the Pentagon said, and more will be sent in the coming days.

For the hundreds of thousands in northern Gaza, nowhere is safe - Red Crescent​

Some Palestinians have sought refuge in bombed-out homes because there are no shelters, according to Nebal Farsakh

We've been focusing on Lebanon for the past few hours - but let's turn our attention back to Gaza, where the Hamas-run health ministry says Israeli strikes have killed 65 people in the past 24 hours.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says the situation in northern Gaza is "beyond catastrophic" - and the constant threat of air strikes means "there is no safe place" for Palestinians to shelter.

Spokeswoman Nebal Farsakh tells BBC News that delays in aid deliveries - the first aid in two weeks arrived on Monday - have caused "even more human suffering".

"Children, women are being attacked, many are losing their lives," she says. "Many of the injured bleed to death without being able to receive emergency medical services."

Two days ago, the UN said more than 400,000 people, external were still in northern Gaza.

This is not a conspiracy. This is happening as we speak.

Agreed. It's very real.
