U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is warning Israel that it risks destroying an eventual possibility for peace unless it acts swiftly to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians as it intensifies its war against Hamas.
Bro I don’t think Israel wants peace. It wants the Gaza strip and the rest of Palestine too.
Of course not, but Biden admin is panicking because if the Israeli’s keep this going eventually the de facto regional war that is going on will become a de jure one.
They are pretty much begging Isreal to not erode any more of their legitimacy in the middle east and globally. It is not working.
United States influence in the middle east is finished and won’t recover for a generation.
The Isrealis don’t listen to them. The Arabs no longer listen to them. Other world powers (China and Russia) are increasing their influence.
Good riddance, the United States was a shit hegemon, although its potential replacements are shit too.
tbh I wish at least one president would try intimidation by using all that free defense aid as some major leverage.
Of course that would never happen because presidents take good care of their respective lobbyists, even if its abundantly clear they will be losing the next election.
Didn’t they release a document this week being like “Yeah we want all Palestinians to get the fuck out of Israel, they can go to Canada or some shit”?
I mean it’s no surprise. They have never been subtle about their genocidal intentions.
Biden’s positioning himself to be an “ally to Israel” but not to Bibi. Bibi’s a sinking ship. They don’t actually care about anyone in Gaza though.
Hamas could begin by releasing, for civilian humanitarian use, the fuel and supplies they have previously stolen from hospitals and aid groups.
Israel could begin by not bombing internationally recognized medivac convoys an hour ago? Since they’re the ones doing all the killing at the moment why don’t we start there?
Edit: also, was that you just justifying collective punishment, a literal war crime? It’s so common now, I almost completely brushed over it.
His comment is typical isreali bullshit propaganda. Block water,food and electricity and everything else then blame Palestinians and their freedom fighters for it. It defies logic and yet if it didn’t work they wouldn’t spew it everywhere.
I think it’s working less by the hour.
I seriously hope. They even started killing journalists to hide their atrocities and then blaming the other side . They don’t even try to hide their bullshiting anymore.
Your source literally does not identify that as an identified or even unidentified aid convoy. You have posted disinformation on other topical posts and I’m starting to think that you are working on behalf of a state level actor.
Folks, before you elevate posts that conform to your biases, at least validate that they are true.
Here’s the WSJ calling it a medical evacuation convoy 3 hours before the strike (which hit the same convoy in multiple places)
Israel and the Red Cross knew about it, and they were evacuating injured and ding people to Egypt. The villains were so dastardly they even identified the street/route they were taking! What a boob.
crickets
I’m not sure what your problem is with the article.
Both sides say an ambulance convoy was hit by Israel. Israel says Hamas was in there and the other side said it was just aid. It says Israel has not proved Hamas fighters were hit and the Gaza health ministry has not reported a number for those killed.
His narrative is that it was internationally recognized, which it was not. Words have meaning and he is a disinformer. It is worded intentionally to have you jump to conclusions that are inaccurate through different framing of the situation and decision to conduct the strike.
I saw the (scumbag asshole) Israeli spokesman Mark Regev on the news, he literally tried to make out that the ambulances were Hamas. He said something like “We’ve seen them build infrastructure underneath hospitals, is it hard to believe they would use ambulances too?”
Edit: The clip in question: https://youtu.be/m88g6POq-MA?t=1400
Channel 4 have really been on point throughout all this. Asking difficult questions from the start, and I’ve even seen some things on their programs before I’ve seen them online (not that I have my finger right on the pulse, but still).
This is like when the US would designate any fighting-age men they killed to be “enemy combatants.” If you define the enemy as anyone you kill, you can go ahead and kill anyone while claiming to hit only the enemy. In this case Israel seems only to need to say that the enemy might have been somewhere near the people it killed.
Why won’t Israel let civilians cross the border to avoid civilian casualties? They have 300,000 soldiers, they can guard a refugee camp
Unfortunately the populas still believes in Press declaration and official statements. while what is being discussed and agreed behind the curtains is the Total opposite of that.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEL AVIV (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Israel on Friday that it risks destroying an eventual possibility for peace unless it acts swiftly to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians as it intensifies its war against Hamas.
“There will be no partners for peace if they’re consumed by humanitarian catastrophe and alienated by any perceived indifference to their plight,” Blinken said, even as the call for a temporary pause without the release by Hamas of Israeli hostages was swiftly rejected by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said Israel would be “going with full steam ahead.”
The comments to reporters in Tel Aviv, following meetings with Netanyahu and other senior officials, amounted to some of the Biden administration’s strongest warnings to Israel since the brutal Oct. 7 rampage by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 civilians and soldiers.
He described being moved by additional video he’d been shown in Israel by the Hamas militants who carried out the attacks, including a father killed in front of his young children.
In his first public speech since the war began, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said his group had “entered the battle” with the past weeks’ unprecedented cross-border fighting.
But the complexity of the situation — and of Blinken’s push for Israel to consider a pause — was laid bare on Friday when Netanyahu, after leaving the meeting with the American official, ruled out the possibility of a cease-fire “that doesn’t include a return of our hostages,” referring to some 240 people Hamas abducted during its attack.

Transltion: Bad, isreal! Now would you please be so kind to make the genocide less horrendous?
