Members phkrause Posted December 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 Biden's Israel shift President Biden — in rare and blunt criticism today — called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to embrace a two-state solution, Axios' Barak Ravid writes. Why it matters: The open criticism is a shift for the president and signals growing disagreement about what happens after the war in Gaza ends. Biden warned that Israel is losing international support over the war and needs to change its policies. "I think he has to change. ... This government in Israel is making it very difficult for him to move," Biden said. 🔎 Between the lines: Netanyahu has in recent days expressed opposition to any role for the Palestinian Authority in governing Gaza after Hamas.

Members phkrause Posted December 14, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 14, 2023 Ambush kills 9 Israeli soldiers in Gaza City, where battles rage on weeks into devastating offensive At least nine Israeli soldiers were killed in an ambush in Gaza City, Israeli media reported Wednesday, as the army continued to meet heavy resistance in an offensive against Hamas that has drawn international outrage and rare U.S. criticism over the killing of thousands of civilians. Read more. Recent developments: Israeli ground troops are still locked in heavy combat with Palestinian fighters in and around Gaza City, more than six weeks after soldiers invaded the north. Clashes raged overnight and into Wednesday in multiple areas, with especially heavy fighting in the Shijaiyah neighborhood, residents said. The air and ground offensive has resulted in the deaths of over 18,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that triggered the war. President Joe Biden’s administration has repeatedly called on Israel to take greater measures to spare Palestinians civilians, even as it has blocked international calls for a cease-fire and rushed military aid to its close ally. Israel has rejected U.S. suggestions for a postwar plan that would revive the long-dormant peace process with the Palestinians. Biden said Tuesday he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was losing international support because of its “indiscriminate bombing” and that Netanyahu should change his government, which is dominated by hard-right parties. But the offensive is being conducted by a narrow war cabinet and has seen overwhelming support among Israelis from across the political spectrum.

Members phkrause Posted December 16, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 Biden envoy will meet with Abbas as the US floats a possible Palestinian security role in postwar Gaza The United States national security adviser and the Palestinian president were set Friday to discuss postwar arrangements for Gaza — which, according to a senior U.S. official, could include reactivating Palestinian security forces driven out by Hamas in its 2007 takeover of the territory. Read more. Why this matters: The U.S. has said it eventually wants to see the West Bank and Gaza under a unified Palestinian government, as a precursor to Palestinian statehood — an idea soundly rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu who seeks to maintain an open-ended security presence there. Israel says it won’t allow a postwar foothold for the internationally backed Palestinian Authority, a West Bank-based autonomy government led by President Mahmoud Abbas. Meanwhile, the revitalizing of the Palestinian Authority may be difficult as the 88-year-old Abbas is widely unpopular, with this week’s poll indicating close to 90% of Palestinians want him to resign. U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration has shown unease over Israel’s failure to reduce civilian casualties and its plans for the future of Gaza, but the White House continues to offer wholehearted support for Israel with weapons shipments and diplomatic backing. The proposal was the first specific indicator of Washington’s vision for security arrangements in Gaza if Israel achieves its U.S.-backed objective to end Hamas control of the besieged enclave.

Members phkrause Posted December 18, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 18, 2023 In Israel’s killing of 3 hostages, some see the same excessive force directed at Palestinians Israelis were left stunned and speechless when three hostages held by Hamas were killed by Israeli forces in an active war zone after they waved a white flag and screamed out in Hebrew. For some, the incident was a shocking example of the ugliness of war, where a complex battlefield is safe for no one. But for critics, the incident underscores what they say is the excessively violent conduct of Israel’s security apparatus against Palestinians. Read more. Recent developments: Critics say the Israeli hostages incident reflects the military’s conduct toward civilians in Gaza. More than 18,700 Palestinians have been killed since the war began, of whom about two-thirds are said to be women and minors, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza, which does not differentiate between combatants and civilians. Critics also see a direct link between a long list of shooting deaths of Palestinians — including the killing of an autistic man and the death of an Al Jazeera journalist — to the incidents that led to the deaths of Israelis. Most recently, human rights group B’Tselem accused the army of carrying out “illegal executions” after releasing video footage that appeared to show Israeli troops killing two Palestinian men, one unarmed and the other incapacitated, during a military raid in the occupied West Bank. Military police are investigating, but rights groups say such incidents rarely lead to punitive measures. The army’s chief, Lt. Col. Herzi Halevi, said the hostages “did everything possible” to make it clear they did not pose a threat. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that the killings “broke my heart, broke the entire nation’s heart,” but he indicated no change in Israel’s intensive military campaign. With popular opinion firmly behind the military effort, the hostages’ deaths weren’t likely to prompt a change in the public mood.

Photo: Ariel Schalit/AP CIA director Bill Burns will meet today in Warsaw with the prime minister of Qatar and the head of the Israeli Mossad spy agency to discuss a potential new deal to secure the release of Israeli hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza, U.S. and Israeli officials tell Axios' Barak Ravid. Why it matters: Burns played a key role in brokering the previous deal that led to the release of more than 100 hostages, including several Americans. Israeli officials say Burns' continued involvement in this issue is of critical importance to the chances of getting a new deal. What to watch: Israeli officials say they expect this round of negotiations to be much more difficult than the previous one because of the need to put much more pressure on Yahya Sinwar, Hamas' leader in Gaza. Several Hamas officials recently said that the terror group will only relaunch negotiations after Israel stops its military operation in Gaza. 💨 Catch up quick: The IDF announced that three Israeli hostages were mistakenly killed in Gaza by IDF soldiers. The incident is putting further pressure on Israel to come to an agreement with Hamas to release the more than 130 hostages still held in Gaza.

Photo: Violeta Santos Moura/Reuters Israel is offering to pause the fighting in Gaza for at least one week as part of a new deal to get Hamas to release more than three dozen hostages the terror group is holding, Axios' Barak Ravid reports. Why it matters: The proposal, made through Qatari mediators, is the first Israel has offered since the end of a deal last month that had led to a seven-day ceasefire and the release of more than 100 hostages. Israeli officials say the proposal shows Israel is determined to relaunch serious negotiations for the release of more hostages, even as Hamas has said it will not resume negotiations as long as the fighting continues.
