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

“Mother of All Bombs” (returns)

Trump administration has greenlighted the delivery of MOABs (Mother of all bombs) according to the tabloid Israel - German Bild
The Mother Of All Bombs weighs 11 tons and is the heaviest and most destructive in America's arsenal. It is designed to penetrate and destroy deep underground bunkers.
For 25 years Israel has requested these bombs and the US said no. Most likely, the US is preparing Israel for a attack on Iran.
This announcement, made by Steve Witkoff, highlights the strategic shift in the US’s support for Israel, as these bombs are capable of destroying deep underground facilities, including those involved in Iran’s nuclear weapons production.
Further details from Bild daily reveal the clear objective behind the transfer of these bombs: Israel intends to use the MOABs to target Iran’s underground uranium enrichment facilities. These sites are critical in Iran’s nuclear program, which has long been a concern for Israel and its allies.
It is clear what promises Bibi and Trump made to each other in their last meeting and, in my opinion, that is what gave Trump the certainty to make his declaration of sovereignty over Gaza. A real estate plan that he shares with his son-in-law Jared Kushner and hopes to be the next Plan Marshall Mar-a-Gaza. #4,969
I would like to think that trump is acting or playing along, but evidently he is not, the stakes are too high and I don't think he will even consider the Palestinians because he will consider them dead and just wants them to leave (!!!), another form of ethnic cleansing.
“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it,” Trump said

“This visit, and the discussions we had with President Trump, carry with them tremendous achievements that could ensure Israel’s security for generations,” Netanyahu said.
The State Department signed off on the sale of $6.75 billion in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660 million in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The latter looks like the full commitment to go to war against Iran, the road to Teheran continues and we will await the deployment of the indigestible Israeli propaganda, with activists and influencers and their messages all associated with Judaism and so on. The changes are being felt and the show goes on.

 

Hamas Suspends Further Hostage Releases As Trump Says No 'Right Of Return' Under His Plan​


"Hamas has announced Monday it is suspending the release of hostages planned for Saturday until further notice due to "Israeli violations" and amid international backlash at Trump's proposed plan to "take over" Gaza which would block a Palestinian 'right of return'."

“No, they wouldn’t,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News when asked whether the Palestinians would have a right to return. “Because they will have much better housing. Much better – in other words, I’m talking about building a permanent place for them.”

"Hamas has responded by saying the US President tackling the "Palestinian issue with the mentality of a real estate dealer" and this is "a recipe for failure."

Several Palestinians have been shot by IDF forces in Gaza City, but Israel in turn has blamed Hamas for violating agreements,

Trump and his top foreign policy officials haven't been fully on the same page, it appears:

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was traveling in Latin America when Trump revealed his idea, suggested the resettlements from Gaza would be only on an interim basis."

“What he very generously has offered is the ability of the United States to go in and help with debris removal, help with munitions removal, help with reconstruction — the rebuilding of homes and businesses and things of this nature, so that then people can move back in,” Rubio said last week."

 
( small correction @Liliea , Moab is not a penetrator type bomb , rather air burst with an area blast , wiki )
Thank you @Ricardo
So the thing blows up in the air beforehand and doesn't ‘penetrate’ the ground?
I took it for granted that the bomb would actually destroy the tunnels directly because it had already been used in Afghanistan by Trump in his first term and as was said at the time, there wasn't much change in the ground in the open.
However, to correct the term and go a little deeper, in this case, the Mother Bomb, which by its free-falling weight and kinetic energy could be manoeuvred by a satellite to the indicated target, would not ‘penetrate’ the ground but its double-shock shock wave would obliterate the alleged Iranian bunkers full of plutonium along with 2 kilometres around, not to mention the alleged radioactive contamination. This as a strategy of shock and force to weaken the enemy.
Handing this into the wrong hands' seems to me to be absolute madness and irresponsibility, especially when these hands are fugitives accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. "Locos" crazy times we live in.
 
Underground it wouldn't do much , aside tremors and and dust falling off ceilings , afaik , depth dependent ofc , actually got a bit surprised on reading the wiki , remember those being deployed in Iraq and according to media (printed? and if i'm not mistaken ) they were then described as air-fuel type / thermobaric , which the wiki doesn't detail as such , anyways, big boom regardless, though imo they're all in the wrong hands though.
 
Then there's this, if not all the hostages held by Hamas are returned by noon on Saturday, then "let hell break out"
He also said that the Palestinians would not have a right to return to Gaza, "because they will have much better housing" and "in the meantime I will own this, think of it as a real estate development". Huh?


He and his spokespeople keep coming back and forth on the point of whether Gazans will be able to return or not. As for other important points he hasn't really covered them so far: What will be the political status of Gaza accoding to his plan? What does he mean by "I (or the US) will own" the place? If Palestinians won't be living there, who will besides Israelis? How and where will some 2 million people relocate peacefully? They have tried to push them into Egypt or Jordan several times in the past, and both countries have refused, of course, and they still do, because one can't simply accomodate those numbers.

In his mind, he might be playing the 'mad man strategy' or some variation of the 'art of the deal'. But for people at his level, words do have consequences. Does he not see that when he threatens Hamas with "hell breaking out" by Saturday if they don't comply, and that Palestinians don't have a right to return, the Israelis will read this as a blank check to carry on with genocide and taking over the whole of Palestine for themselves?

At this moment (today, that is), I think that Trump does have strategic thinking, except that it's really shallow. He hasn't really thought through things more than one or two steps ahead, and he figures that details will simply fall into place cause it's him. In other words, he's not so smart, even if generally he doesn't seem to have bad intentions. That can be dangerous in his leadership position. My wife says he is like 'a force of nature', in the sense that he brings chaos. Like destructive natural phenomena, sometimes it's a good thing in the long run - after the suffering and destruction, that is. Because things that need to change do change.
 
In his mind, he might be playing the 'mad man strategy'
Couldn't it be, in your mind, that this guy is really mad ?
It seems to me that only the craziest can reach such a position as him in this crazy world, unless they would have some kind of higher purpose or destiny. But how is that possible with Trump ? I can't think of it, except for being there to bring utter chaos
 
The implementation of the ceasefire is not going smoothly.

From Anadolu agency Feb 11 :

RAMALLAH, Palestine

A Palestinian official warned Monday that the Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal is at risk of collapse.


“There is high risk of a collapse of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza due to three Israeli violations of the agreement,” Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative (PNI), a Palestinian political party that describes itself as a democratic movement of non-violent resistance to the Israeli occupation, said on X.

From telegram egyptian's channel :

Hebrew Kan Channel, citing informed sources:

Hamas is sounding alarm bells in an attempt to push Israel to act differently.

The talks with Hamas yesterday were only held via Qatar in a failed attempt to prevent a crisis.


Sources in the mediating countries 🇪🇬🇶🇦 expressed anger over Israel's postponement of the talks on the second stage.

"
Israeli political expert Lior Horev:

Here are some facts about who caused the Gaza ceasefire crisis:

"Israel" pledged to send a negotiating team to Doha for the second phase talks on the 16th day of the first phase, but did not do so.

Israel instead sent a negotiating team with reduced representation without the authority to discuss the second phase and beyond the specified time.


Netanyahu's government spokesmen and ministers have not stopped emphasizing their intention not to implement the second stage of the deal. "

And of course Trump answered clearly as usual :

Donald J. Trump's statement about the release of the hostages:

"If all of the hostages are not returned by Saturday at 12 o'clock, I would say cancel it and all bets are off, let hell break out,"
