Quoting Meron Rapoport (an Israeli journalist and writer) on Israel’s final solution for Gaza:

"In simple terms: forget about the hostages, forget also about defeating Hamas. Israel's goal in Gaza now is occupation and expulsion, and therefore nothing Hamas does, and nothing the Palestinians do, will make a difference."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Rapoport argues that Israel is now "declaring war on Palestinian life itself" and calls on Israelis to refuse participation in what he sees as a fundamental assault on Gaza's future.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Israel's #Gaza strategy has transformed according to cabinet decisions and official statements. The focus has shifted from hostage return and #Hamas defeat to permanent occupation and population displacement. Finance Minister Smotrich explicitly stated: "We are occupying Gaza to stay... no withdrawal, not even for hostages." Government plans involve creating "sterile zones" near the Egyptian border where Palestinians would be concentrated before potential emigration. The upcoming "Gideon's Chariots" operation aims to implement this strategy rather than defeat Hamas or secure hostages. The majority of Israelis oppose this operation, particularly because it risks hostage lives.

Let's be clear at this point:

The #war in #Gaza is a fucking tragedy.

#Innocent people are suffering, and they shouldn't. #WarCrimes are committed by #Israel, and they shouldn't. There are #atrocities at a massive scale, and there shouldn't be.

#TheLeft should very much thematize that.

At best together with atrocities that were committed by #Hamas on October 7th. Because the smaller scale doesn't make it any less horror.

NO ONE should be de-humanized & suffer like people did on both sides.

"Plus que quiconque, M. Guedj cristallise désormais les tensions entre le #PS et #LFI. C’est le parlementaire qui a déclaré la guerre au mouvement « insoumis » le 7 octobre 2023, quand ce dernier s’est montré incapable de qualifier les attaques du #Hamas contre l’Etat hébreu de « terroristes » ; un crime de lèse-majesté que M. Mélenchon ne lui a jamais pardonné. L’ancien sénateur a donc fait pleuvoir les insultes et les attaques aux relents antisémites à son encontre."

"Humanitarian area" is the new term for concentration camp 😬🤬

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump's trip

Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan Sunday night to gradually reoccupy all of Gaza and hold it indefinitely if no deal is reached by May 15. Plans for the operation call for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to flatten any buildings that remain standing and displace virtually the entire population of 2 million people to a single "humanitarian area."

By threatening and preparing the re-occupation of #Gaza and massive displacement of its population (contrary to #international #law) #Netanyahu is putting maximum pressure on #Hamas in the #Dubai negotiations.If Hamas still does not release all #hostages and accepts transfering power, it will inevitably be co-responsible for what happens next.However, it could be that neither Hamas nor its sponsor #Iran ,nor the #government of the State of #Israel and its supporter #Trump want a lasting #truce

Israel plant laut Berichten eine Ausweitung der Angriffe im Gazastreifen, um den Druck auf die Hamas zu erhöhen und Geiseln zu befreien. Das Kabinett hat bereits Zehntausende Reservisten mobilisiert. Mehr dazu bei ntvde: n-tv.de/politik/Berichte-Israe 📰 #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #Nahost #News #newz

Al-Qassam Brigades Ambush Zionist Forces in Rafah Tunnel Operation

The Al-Qassam Brigades released a statement providing a detailed account of the ambush that targeted Zionist forces in Rafah on Saturday, at the height of the regime’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Al-Qassam Brigades said that their fighters successfully drew an engineering unit toward a tunnel entrance that had been pre-rigged with explosives. The operation began with direct engagement, during which the fighters killed several members of the unit at point-blank range.

The Palestinian Resistance group said that as additional Zionist soldiers moved closer to the tunnel, their fighters triggered the explosives, causing significant casualties among the troops, including deaths and injuries, before engaging two tanks with al-Yassin 105 shells in a follow-up attack.

They stated that their fighters monitored Zionist forces attempting to retrieve casualties from the ambush site located east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, observing the evacuation efforts in the aftermath of the attack.

Al-Qassam Brigades announced that on Saturday, their fighters activated an anti-personnel explosive device targeting a six-soldier Zionist infantry unit near Al-Zahraa Mosque in Al-Janina neighborhood, east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in enemy casualties.

The occupation military confirmed on Sunday that two soldiers, including an officer, had been killed and that several others had been wounded as confrontations continued in the Gaza Strip.

The Zionist occupation forces’ spokesperson stated that an officer from the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit had been killed during clashes in the southern part of the besieged Gaza Strip and that another soldier from the same unit had also been killed in the same area.

The incident, described by Zionist outlets as “difficult,” occurred as a Golani Brigade force operating under the 36th Division was combing a building and discovered the tunnel entrance. At some point during the operation, an explosive, previously undetected, detonated, leading to the fatalities.

The occupation forces reported that in the same encounter, another soldier from the Yahalom unit had sustained critical injuries, while separately, a reserve soldier from the 7007 Battalion of the Jerusalem [Al-Quds] (16th) Brigade had also been critically wounded during clashes in northern Gaza on Saturday.
