Israel-Palestine War: Hamas Breaks Out of Gaza, Israel Responds With Genocide

Screenshot from this video. In honour of Trump's peace deal success, this billboard was erected on the Prima Park Hotel in Jerusalem referencing Cyrus the Great freeing Jewish captives from Babylon and allowing them to return to the promised land. (Oct. 11) Is there enough cameras on the poll?

U.S. President Donald Trump told Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, on Monday that “This is not only the end of a war, but the end of an age of terror and death, and the beginning of an age of faith and hope.” Here are some key excerpts from his remarks, which clearly are designed to reinforce the Zionist narrative, and especially, to redeem Netanyahu's reputation now that his involvement in Charlie Kirk's assassination threatens his support from Charlie's audience of conservative Christians: (The strategic value of all that's said sound almost as if Netanyahu himself wrote Trump's speech. :-( )

The president thanked his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, joking again that he loved Israel so much that his daughter, Ivanka, converted to Judaism...
He joked that opposition leader Yair Lapid was “a nice man,” adding: “Now you can be a little nicer, Bibi, because you’re not at war anymore.”...
He praised Israel’s progress — “Think of what you’ve done; it’s incredible!” — and said that “the world is loving Israel again.”...
He praised the “Board of Peace” in his peace plan for Gaza, saying that despite the fact that he was busy, he would devote the “unbelievable power and wealth” of the region to rebuilding Gaza in the aftermath of war...
He said that when Israel and other countries could set aside war, and apply their “genius” to building and to prosperity, the future would be unlimited...
He suggested that President Isaac Herzog, Israel’s ceremonial head of state, grant a pardon to Netanyahu, who is still on trial for spurious charges of petty corruption...
Trump concluded by celebrating Jerusalem as the home to the world’s great religions, and praised Israel’s continued faith in God, throughout the generations. “That is why the people of Israel have never given up,” Trump said. “You want the promise of Zion, you want the promise of success and hope and love and God.”...
“We are going to forge a future that is worthy of our heritage,” Trump said, concluding, “I love Israel — I’m with you all the way. You will be bigger, better, stronger, and more loving than ever before...
“God bless you, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the Middle East.

(These introductory remarks preceded Trump's remarks above)

Netanyahu praised Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, calling it “a proposal that ends the war by achieving all our objectives, a proposal that opens the door to an expansion of peace in our region, and beyond our region.”...
Ohana called Trump “a giant of Jewish history,”...
Opposition leader Yair Lapid noted that there had never been a “genocide” in Gaza, and that Israel’s liberal critics had been duped into supporting Islamic terror....
Ohana called Trump “a giant of Jewish history,” praising him for making sure “America First” was not “America alone.” Netanyahu thanked Trump for his support, saying he had nominated the president for the Israel Prize, which has never been given to a non-Israeli.
He added: “It will be the Golden Age of Israel, and the Golden Age of the Middle East.”

At that point, hecklers — unseen until that point — interrupted, apparently from Arab parties, some of whom have extremist positions, and which are yet elected freely in a democratic Israel. They were quickly ejected.

Not just related to Kirk's Conservative Christian audience, to redeem him at home (in Israel).
It will be very difficult to change people's perceptions with Trump's nice words and, I doubt that all the investment in propaganda will achieve this, but they (Trump and Netanyahu) believe it will. Let's wait and see, though.

Israel has announced plans to destroy Hamas' tunnel network in Gaza after its hostages are freed.

I keep thinking about this, the only discontent we ever saw in Israel about their entire operation in Gaza was about the hostages. If all of them come home, the ones that are alive that is, then the internal pressure disappears.

Just today I saw that Israel Katz said the following, as the hostages were being returned.

The urgent task to which we are all now committed is to ensure the return home of all the deceased hostages.Hamas' announcement of the expected return of 4 bodies today is a failure to meet commitments. Any delay or intentional omission will be considered a blatant violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly.

So, judging by how they always operate, I was thinking that it would be a much easier operation to conduct if no one at home is protesting on the streets about hostages, instad they may be protesting on the streets about remains being kept and seeking revenge for said dead hostages. it could turn popular option around in favor of more aggression. Specially if Palestinians return to their destroyed homes in Gaza.

The Trumpanyahu Administration Is Already Sabotaging The Ceasefire

I don’t know who first coined the saying that an Israeli ceasefire means “you cease and we fire,” but it proves reliably accurate time after time.

The IDF reportedly killed nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes today under the usual justification that they were traveling in some kind of unauthorized area in ways that made the troops feel threatened, blah blah. They did this all the time during the previous “ceasefire” at the beginning of the year, using the exact same excuses.

Just as we speculated the other day might happen, Israel has announced that it is going to cut the aid it allows into Gaza in half and cut off fuel and gas shipments because Hamas hasn’t returned the bodies of all the dead Israeli hostages. Israel was fully aware when it signed the agreement that Hamas would not be able to deliver the bodies of all the hostages right away due to the rubble and chaos caused by the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza.

On October 9, CNN published an article titled “Israel assesses Hamas may not be able to return all remaining dead hostages” which reported that “the Israeli government is aware that Hamas may not know the location of, or is unable to retrieve, the remains of some of the 28 remaining deceased hostages.”

The Red Cross says that finding all the bodies of the hostages will be a “massive challenge” in all the rubble created by Israeli airstrikes in the areas where hostages were being kept.

Drop Site News’ Jeremy Scahill explains that “During Gaza negotiations, Israel understood it would take time to recover all bodies of deceased captives. A specific mechanism for recovering the bodies was agreed. Now Israel is pretending that didn’t happen so it can violate the deal and cut the agreed aid shipments in half.”

Mondoweiss reported last week that Hebrew-language Israeli media had been saying that a “secret clause” in the ceasefire agreement would allow Israel to resume its onslaught if the bodies of the dead hostages were not returned within a 72-hour window.

So it looks like this was planned from the beginning. Create obligations that Israel knew Hamas would be unable to fulfill, then use it as an excuse to resume the slaughter.

And President Trump appears to be going right along with it, posting on Truth Social that “A big burden has been lifted, but the job IS NOT DONE. THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED!”

“We were told they had 26, 24 dead hostages… and it seems as though they don’t have that, because we’re talking about a much lesser number,” Trump told the press on Tuesday, saying, “I want them back.”

Trump also told the press that Hamas is going to have to be forcibly disarmed, which amounts to an open admission that this entire “ceasefire” show is a sham.

“If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them, and it will happen quickly and perhaps violently,” Trump said on Tuesday.

This statement matches recent comments from Benjamin Netanyahu saying that Hamas will be disarmed “the easy way” or “the hard way”.

The president and prime minister are making it clear that in order for the ceasefire negotiations to proceed to a lasting peace, Hamas is going to have to completely surrender and Israel is going to have to be handed total victory. They’re branding it as a ceasefire deal when it’s actually a total surrender deal, and Hamas has made it explicitly clear that it is not surrendering.

As Drop Site News explains, “In reality, senior Hamas, Islamic Jihad and figures from other resistance factions have repeatedly rejected disarmament throughout negotiations, including in multiple interviews with Drop Site over the past year.”

A big part of the confusion around the ceasefire in public discourse today is that there are two contradictory ideas going around about what the ceasefire is and what it means. Israel supporters think “ceasefire” means “total victory and complete surrender by Hamas,” while everyone else thinks “ceasefire” means ceasefire.

That’s why you see Israel supporters celebrating the deal while Palestine supporters are much more apprehensive. Palestine supporters understand that a ceasefire and a surrender are two different things, and see Trump and Netanyahu stating that Hamas is going to have to completely disarm if “ceasefire” negotiations are going to move toward a lasting peace. They understand that the unyielding mutually exclusive positions of the Trumpanyahu administration and of Hamas are likely to come to a head in ways that result in the reignition of the Gaza holocaust.

So for all the applause and fuss that has been made about the ceasefire, as things stand right now it doesn’t look like much has changed. From the very beginning of this genocide it has been the officially stated position of the US and Israel that the killing will not end until Hamas lays down its arms and surrenders, and that is still their position today. There’s a much-needed pause in the slaughter, sure, but the Trumpanyahu team is making it explicitly clear that it is going to ramp up again under the justification of Hamas refusing to disarm.

And that’s assuming negotiations even make it that far; Israel is already doing everything it can to sabotage the ceasefire by murdering Palestinians and greatly reducing the amount of aid it promised.

Unless something significant changes about all this fairly soon, even this feeble reduction in Israel’s Gaza atrocities cannot be expected to hold.

After the signing of the agreement Donald Trump, clouding the things a bit, entering into a gray area: "the only thing we are working on is the reconstruction of Gaza," an euphemism for talking about internal projects by Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, Blackrock, and the occasional sovereign wealth fund.

Trump, after the summit on Palestine: "We are not talking about one state or two."​

He avoids commenting on the matter because he says that "we are talking about the reconstruction" of Gaza.

US President Donald Trump has avoided talking about a Palestinian state, hours after signing a declaration for "peace" in the Gaza Strip, together with his Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish counterparts, as part of the summit held in Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt) attended by more than twenty world leaders.

"A lot of people like the one-state solution. Some people like the two-state solution. We'll have to see. I have not commented on it,"
The said in statements to the press in which he insisted that what "we are talking about (is) the reconstruction of Gaza".
The head of the White House, who spoke these words in the early hours of Tuesday morning before returning to the United States aboard the presidential plane, once again described the day as "historic" and celebrated the release of hostages by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas). "Those children come home and their parents go crazy," he said.
"Wasn't it amazing? (…) It has been (one day) very good. I think it's an important day, because no one thought this was possible," the US president added.
