China is ‘Putin’s tool’ – Zelensky

from RT

China is acting as an “instrument” of Russia by pressing other nations to shun an upcoming “peace summit” on the Ukraine conflict, Vladimir Zelensky has alleged. The Ukrainian leader also accused Beijing of providing military support to Moscow, without giving specific evidence.  

Zelensky fired a rare diplomatic broadside at Beijing on Sunday following his surprise appearance at the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual security conference organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in Singapore.

“Russia, using Chinese influence on the region, using Chinese diplomats also, does everything to disrupt the peace summit,” Zelensky claimed at a press conference, referring to Swiss-hosted talks on the Ukraine conflict that are planned for later in June.

“It is unfortunate that such a big, independent, powerful country as China is an instrument in the hands of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” the Ukrainian leader added...

Biden's Insulting 'Peace Deal' is a Stunt and a Violation of International Law

You have to be a special kind of stupid to think Hamas should accept this criminally one-sided deal which allows Israel to keep the 'unpopulated' areas of Gaza they have chased Palestinians from. At best this is a stunt which Netanyahu supposedly agreed to so when Hamas rejects it they can claim it is Palestine which is an obstacle to peace. That's why as of making this video, Hamas has yet to even receive a written copy of the deal.

Turkish Parliament adopts motion condemning Israel

from Daily Sabah

Parliament on Wednesday adopted a motion condemning Israel’s offensive in Rafah as casualties continue to rise day by day in the Gaza Strip.

The motion calls the United Nations Security Council to an emergency session against Israel’s attacks in the Palestinian enclave.

“Israel under the Netanyahu administration does not hesitate violating all verdicts by international courts and is known for its occupation and cruelty. It continues targeting civilian settlements,” the motion says.

It says “Zionist violence” continues before the very eyes of the world and Israel’s policy of oppression against Gazans condemned to isolation made Palestine a place not suitable for living. The motion refers to Israel’s massacre of more than 40 Palestinians in a tent camp for the displaced and said Israel’s actions turned into a genocide, surpassing any practice of apartheid. “It is the duty of every individual, every country respecting human rights not to remain silent against those massacres, those crimes against humanity,” it said...

Biden announces new deal to end Israel's Gaza attacks

(Once again, and from Sneaky Uncle SloJo's own lips, Biden says the new deal includes phrasing that is literally a war crime. It is illegal to occupy and steal land of another nation. That is a war of aggression. In his proposal Biden says that the IDF will withdraw 'from all populated areas of Gaza'   We did that shit in Syria under ObamaGod. We used our ISIS proxy army squad of Takfari terrorists to drive people off their lands east of the Euphrates river and after they left we claimed the territory was 'unpopulated' so we essentially gave it to the Glorious Kurds.)

UPDATE: Mondoweiss picked up on the same thing I did and expanded on it a little. They don't mention its a war-crime, taking the land from Palestinians they bombed them off, but that's alright. We know it is.

'Some crucial details remain unclear. Perhaps the most important one is what Israel withdrawing from “all populated areas of Gaza” means. If Israel will not be engaging in any military operations, then the presence of troops seems perfunctory. And, if Palestinians can return anywhere in Gaza, that leaves precious little “unpopulated” land in the tiny, overcrowded Strip. '

Clearly Biden is referring to the Nakba Highway, Nakba Pier and Israel's re-population of the former settlement they are both beside... not to mention the fact that that beach they are looking to develop is also not populated.

UPDATE: al Jazeera Hamas has yet to receive a written copy. The Israelis have agreed to it, meaning they have. This is a political stunt to provide cover for genocidal Zionists. Plus, you can't find a written copy ANYWHERE online. I dare you to try. Why is that? Because obviously it is written in such a way to make Hamas reject it so they can blame them for being 'an obstacle to peace'

from Daily Sabah

U.S. President Joe Biden said that Israel had offered a new framework toward permanent peace in Gaza, as he called on Hamas to accept the surprise agreement.

In his first major address outlining a solution to the eight-month conflict, Biden said the proposal started with a six-week phase that would see Israeli forces withdraw from all populated areas of Gaza.

"It's time for this war to end, for the day after to begin," Biden said in a televised address from the White House, adding that "we can't lose this moment" to seize the chance for peace.

"Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. It's a roadmap to an enduring cease-fire and the release of all hostages," he said.

The 81-year-old Democrat put particular pressure on the Palestinian resistance group Hamas.

"Hamas needs to take the deal," said Biden, who has supported Israel with military aid since Israel's massacres began.

Biden said the first six-week phase would include a "full and complete cease-fire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, release of a number of hostages, including women, the elderly, the wounded, in exchange for the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners."...

US behind two failed ‘color revolutions’ – Georgian PM

from RT

Tbilisi needs to “reconsider” its relationship with Washington, given that American-funded NGOs were behind at least two attempts at overthrowing the government, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has said.

The US has threatened sanctions against senior Georgian officials after the former Soviet republic passed a ‘foreign agents’ law which was denounced by the West as a threat to democracy.

“I don’t know why there were two attempts at revolution in 2020-2021, and then in 2022. I don’t know why there were these attempts, but the fact is that the previous [US] ambassador spoiled a lot of things, a lot of things were ruined in those years, and this needs to be corrected,” Kobakhidze told reporters on Friday.

“This includes American-funded NGOs that stood on the revolutionary stage, calling for the resignation of the government, and the formation of a government with their participation. Therefore, Georgian-American relations need to be reconsidered,” the prime minister added...

Israel plans new invasion after Biden outlines truce roadmap

 (Biden's 'peace' plan involves Israel getting to keep the parts of Gaza that aren't populated. Meaning they get rewarded for wiping everything off the map which of course is itself a war crime. Thats Biden 'peace' plan. A war crime. It doesn't matter if Bibi drops more bombs because there is no way the Palestinians accept this insult anyway.)

from PressTV

Israeli forces pound Rafah in southern Gaza with tanks and artillery just after US President Joe Biden says the regime is offering a new roadmap towards a full ceasefire.

Extremist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted Saturday after Biden's announcement that Israel will still pursue the war until it has reached all its aims.

"Israel's conditions for ending the war have not changed," he said, citing the "destruction" of Hamas's military and governing capabilities, the release of all Israeli captives and "ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel".

A permanent ceasefire without those conditions being met was "a non-starter", he said.

Netanyahu's defiant tone came even as the US president outlined what he called Israel's three-stage offer for a possible end to the invasion.

The roadmap, Biden said, would begin with a six-week phase that would see Israeli forces withdraw from all populated areas of Gaza...
