Members phkrause Posted January 23 Author Members Share Posted January 23 21 Israeli soldiers killed in single attack in the Gaza Strip The reservists were preparing explosives to demolish two buildings in central Gaza on Monday when a militant fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a tank nearby, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, the chief military spokesperson, said. Hours later, the military announced that ground forces had encircled Gaza's second largest city, Khan Younis, where dozens of Palestinians have been killed in heavy fighting in recent days. Read more. Why this matters: This is the deadliest attack on Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the 3-month-old war, which has also left over 25,000 Palestinians dead, according to health officials in the Hamas-run territory. The heavy death toll could add new momentum to calls for Israel to pause the offensive or even halt it altogether. Large numbers of Israeli casualties have put pressure on Israel’s government to halt past military operations. Families of the hostages and many of their supporters have called for Israel to reach a cease-fire deal, saying that time is running out to bring them home alive. On Monday, hostages’ family members disrupted a committee meeting in Israel’s parliament, yelling, “You won’t sit here while they are dying there!” Related coverage ➤ WATCH: Relatives of hostages still held in Gaza storm Knesset committee meeting EU pushes for Palestinian statehood, rejecting Israeli leader’s insistence that it’s off the table US, British militaries launch new round of joint strikes against multiple Houthi sites in Yemen Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.

Members phkrause Posted January 26 Author Members Share Posted January 26 Qatar, key mediator in sensitive Israel-Hamas talks, lashes out at Netanyahu over critical remarks Qatar said it was appalled Wednesday by leaked remarks made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he criticized the Arab country’s mediation efforts with Hamas, complicating already arduous negotiations meant to halt the hostilities in exchange for a release of hostages. Read more. Why this matters: Qatar, along with Egypt, is working on a new agreement that could set free more hostages, and potentially offer some respite in the devastating 3-month war. But officials say the gap between the two sides is still wide, and the spat between Netanyahu and Qatar could rattle negotiations. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said his government was “appalled” by the reported remarks but that they were “not surprising.” If the remarks are confirmed, Netanyahu “would only be obstructing and undermining the mediation process, for reasons that appear to serve his political career instead of prioritizing saving innocent lives, including Israeli hostages,” Majed al-Ansari said.

Members phkrause Posted January 31 Author Members Share Posted January 31 Where the sides stand on securing a cease-fire in Gaza U.S. and Mideast mediators appeared optimistic in recent days that they were closing in on a deal for a two-month cease-fire in Gaza and the release of over 100 hostages held by Hamas. But on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the militant group’s main demands, indicating that the gap between the two sides remains wide. Read more. Where things stand: Netanyahu seeks “total victory.” He has vowed to continue the war until Israel destroys Hamas and returns all the hostages, two elusive goals that many Israelis fear are mutually exclusive. Hamas wants the war to end. They have refused to release more hostages until Israel ends its offensive and withdraws from Gaza. It wants a broader agreement that would include a long-term truce and reconstruction. Mediators seek middle ground. The U.S. and Arab mediators are seeking a resolution where hostages would be released in stages over a two-month period in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, more desperately needed humanitarian aid for Gaza, and the partial withdrawal of Israeli forces. A two-month respite could buy time for negotiating a larger agreement to address the conflict.

Members phkrause Posted February 2 Author Members Share Posted February 2 Analysis shows destruction and possible buffer zone along Gaza Strip’s border with Israel Satellite photos show new demolition along a 1-kilometer-deep path on the Gaza Strip’s border with Israel, according to analysis by The Associated Press and experts. The destruction comes as Israel said it wants to establish a buffer zone, over international objections, further tearing away at land Palestinians want for a state. Read more. Key developments: Israeli leaders have signaled that they would like to establish a buffer zone as a defensive measure, which they contend could prevent a repeat of the Oct. 7 cross-border attack by Hamas. That’s despite U.S. warnings not to shrink Gaza’s territory. There has been a continued growth of Israeli settlements in the West Bank under Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government. That further undermines the prospects for an independent Palestinian state in the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. The demolition along the border represents only a sliver of the wider damage from the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which one assessment suggests has damaged or destroyed half of all the buildings within the coastal enclave.

Members phkrause Posted February 6 Author Members Share Posted February 6 Israel says it's getting closer to Hamas leader The Israeli military believes it's making progress in its hunt for Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israeli defense officials tell Axios' Barak Ravid. Why it matters: The war in Gaza "must not end" until Hamas' leadership there has been killed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today — just as Secretary of State Tony Blinken arrived in the region to build support for a temporary ceasefire. Hamas hasn't yet responded to Israel's offer to pause fighting for two months in exchange for the return of all remaining hostages. Blinken is lobbying other Middle Eastern leaders to support that proposal. Hamas' slow response may be a result of its leaders frequently moving locations, making it harder to communicate and coordinate, Israeli officials said. Israeli intelligence believes Sinwar and other Hamas leaders have been hiding in the city of Khan Younis since the early stages of the war. Special units in the Israel Defense Forces have been operating in the tunnels in Khan Younis for several weeks in an attempt to catch the Hamas leaders. They've now taken control of much of that tunnel network, Israeli officials said. Go deeper.

Read more. Why this matters: Blinken faces major challenges. Hamas and Israel are publicly at odds over key elements of a potential truce and Israel has dismissed the United States’ calls for a path to a Palestinian state. The United States, Qatar and Egypt have drawn up a proposal for a cease-fire of several weeks and the phased release of the hostages. But Hamas, which did not publicly respond to the proposal, has said it won’t release any more captives until Israel ends its offensive. The militants are also expected to demand the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners — demands Netanyahu has publicly ruled out.

Members phkrause Posted February 16 Author Members Share Posted February 16 “Where Can We Go?”: Terror and Panic Set In as Israel Readies to Invade Rafah RAFAH, GAZA — It was a night of terror in Rafah. Early Monday morning, the Israeli military rained bombs on the city in southern Gaza that borders Egypt. The ground shook, the sound of fighter jets dropping bombs so intense and persistent that some described it as a “fire belt,” a term Palestinians use to describe the prolonged targeting of nearby areas. At least 100 people were killed in the bombings, which some of Rafah’s inhabitants said were among the worst of the war. https://theintercept.com/2024/02/13/gaza-rafah-displaced-israel/?

Photo: Leo Correa/AP President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held their second call this week, as global concerns mounted over stalled hostage talks and a looming Israeli ground operation in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, Axios' Barak Ravid writes. Why it matters: Biden has grown increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu and Israel's actions during the war. Biden "reiterated his view that a military operation should not proceed without a credible and executable plan for ensuring the safety of and support for the civilians in Rafah," the White House said in a readout.
