Hamas says it accepts US ceasefire proposal, awaits Israel’s response

Here is Israel's response... they burned children alive.

 

And they did that because... they want...

 ... the land.

from PressTV

Hamas says it has accepted a proposal forwarded by the US’s regional envoy, which reportedly includes withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

“We have accepted Steve Witkoff (the American envoy)’s proposal to reach a ceasefire and the withdrawal of hostile forces,” a member of the Gaza-based resistance movement’s Political Bureau, Basem Naim, said on Tuesday.

“We are awaiting the occupation’s response,” the Palestinian official added.

Naim, however, did not comment on the details of the proposal.

Earlier this month, Naim had noted that Witkoff had personally assured the group that the United States would pressure the Israeli regime to end its near-total siege on the Gaza Strip and permit humanitarian access.

The envoy, according to Naim, had said the US would start applying the pressure within two days of Hamas’s releasing American-Israeli trooper Edan Alexander, whom the group handed over on May 12.

According to the Hamas member, Witkoff had also promised that US President Donald Trump would make a public call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for negotiations aimed at achieving a “permanent ceasefire.”

Witkoff, though, “did nothing of this,” Naim said at the time...

Video Shows Girl Trying to Escape Inferno as Gaza Family 'Burned Alive' in Israeli Massacre

from Common Dreams

"What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination: indiscriminate, unrestrained, brutal, and criminal killing of civilians," former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. 

 

Video footage of a young girl trying to flee an inferno caused by a Monday Israeli airstrike that killed dozens of Palestinians including her mother and siblings sparked global outrage and calls for an immediate cease-fire in what one former Israeli prime minister called a "war of extermination."

Medical officials in Gaza said that at least 36 people were killed by an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bombing of the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in the al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City. The Gaza Government Media Office (GMO) said that 18 children were killed in the "brutal massacre."

"The school was supposed to be a place of safety. Instead, it was turned into an inferno," Gaza Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told reporters. "We heard desperate cries for help from people trapped alive inside the blaze, but the fire was too intense. We couldn't get to them."...

Israeli airstrike on Gaza school-turned-shelter kills over 35 Palestinians, including children

(Hamas agrees to a US ceasefire deal so Glorious Israel and the 'most moral army in the world' decided to bomb a refugee shelter burning women and children alive. Yeah, that's what they have done for decades to stop peace from breaking out. Gotta get that LAND!!!)

from PressTV

Israel's overnight airstrikes on a Gaza school sheltering displaced families kill at least 36 Palestinians, including many children, according to medics and civil defense officials.​​​​​​

Israeli forces, early Monday, struck the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in Gaza City's Daraj neighborhood, where hundreds of displaced Palestinians from Beit Lahia—a northern town under intense Israeli bombardment—had sought refuge.

According to Gaza's Civil Defense agency, rescuers retrieved 20 bodies—many of them children—from the school, with numerous victims charred after fires tore through two classrooms that had been converted into shelters.

Local sources report the casualties included Mohammad al-Kasih, Hamas's northern Gaza police investigations chief, as well as his wife and children.

The Palestinian health ministry reported that just before the school attack, an Israeli airstrike struck a residential building on Thawra Street in Gaza City.

The airstrike hit both a residential building and adjacent tents housing displaced families. The force of the explosion caused debris from the destroyed home to collapse onto the nearby tents, leading to further casualties. According to reports, at least four people were killed in the attack. 

The twin strikes mark an intensification of Israel's military campaign, which has seen a significant escalation in northern Gaza over the past week...

Israeli bombs kill 132 in Gaza, hospitals in north ‘out of service’

 (Killing civilians is how the Israelis negotiate. Like bank robbers throwing dead bodies out the front door to entice the police outside to give them what they want, Israel always steps up their violent attacks on civilians just before and during talks in order to force the opposition to give them what they want. If any other nation did this they would be condemned by every government and every news agency across the Western world. But not 'the Jewish state'  

Draw your own conclusions)

from al Jazeera

Israeli forces continue bombarding Gaza, killing at least 132 Palestinians, including 36 in the so-called “safe zone” of al-Mawasi.

The intensified Israeli attacks have killed 464 people in the past week and rendered all the public hospitals in northern Gaza out of service, says the Health Ministry.

Trump vows US will 'take care of' Gaza, says people are starving

(So Trump ends his tour saying nothing of import about Gaza or recognizing Palestine. Notice Rubio is mentioned in this article. I guess Grima Wormtongue did his work whispering in Trump's ear. Who knows. He opened up Syria so al Qaeda could do business Assad couldn't (now that we killed him) and UAE jumps in immediately with a $800 million dollar deal to ramp up Port of Tartus. They are all scum.)

from Daily Sabah

Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. would "take care of" the situation in Gaza, telling reporters that people in the blockaded Palestinian territory were starving.

"We're looking at Gaza, and we're going to get that taken care of. A lot of people are starving," the president told reporters.

The brief comments came as Trump concluded the final leg of a multiday tour of Gulf countries.

Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza for more than two months, prompting U.N. agencies and humanitarian groups to warn of dwindling fuel and medicine supplies in the territory of 2.4 million Palestinians.

Israel has repeatedly denied that there is a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, despite the dire situation there as a result of its blockade.

Trump's remarks came a day after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed openness to new proposals for delivering aid to Gaza, following widespread criticism of a U.S.- and Israeli-backed plan.

Rubio also voiced concern over the humanitarian situation in the territory...

Israeli forces block food to north Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital to force doctors out

from PressTV

The Israeli regime forces have blocked the supply of water and food to northern Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital to force the doctors there to flee.

The doctors are refusing to leave their patients behind, the nongovernmental organization that funded the supplies to the Indonesia Hospital said on Sunday.

The Indonesia Hospital in Beit Lahiya near the Jabalia refugee camp was built from donations organized by the Jakarta-based Medical Emergency Rescue Committee.

The four-story facility has been sheltering more than a dozen patients, caregivers, and health workers from Gaza’s Kamal Adwan hospital, which was destroyed in December after months of relentless Israeli attacks.

The doctors who have remained in the building are defying orders to leave the Indonesia Hospital, MER-C said, adding that they last received food aid from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

“They are still holding out. The condition is deteriorating, there’s a lack of water and food,” Marissa Noriti, a MER-C volunteer in Deir el-Balah told media via WhatsApp.

“The Israeli occupation forces are blocking supply … The doctors are staying for the patients. They refuse to leave them behind.”...
