»The United Nations agency for children says that at least 322 #children are reported to have been #killed since #Israel launched a renewed offensive in #Gaza two weeks ago.

#Unicef said at least 609 other children were reportedly wounded during the same period.

"The #ceasefire in Gaza provided a desperately needed lifeline for Gaza's children and hope for a path to recovery," said Unicef Executive Director Catherine #Russell. "But children have again been plunged into a cycle of deadly violence and deprivation."«

Egyptian fears now are that the #UAE is trying to carry out large-scale plans to blow up the Gaza Strip from within by stimulating protests against Hamas and creating confrontations between the people and the resistance. It even amounted to Emirati funding through Israel for any Gazan who wants to demonstrate against Hamas.”

...Surrender would not prevent mass displacement, but would accelerate it. The collapse of #Gaza would send shockwaves through the occupied #WestBank, East #Jerusalem, and the 1948 territories, heralding the final act of the #Palestinian cause.

Hamas has resolved to continue the fight regardless of the cost. “If we are to be eliminated,” one source tells The Cradle, “let it be in an honorable battle, not in exile.” They cite the Sabra and Shatila refugee camp massacres as a grim lesson: once the Palestine Liberation Organization (#PLO) left Lebanon, the residents of the defenseless camps were butchered. The difference now is that #Hamas is on its own land, among its own people.

thecradle.coWhy Hamas resists all foreign demands for surrenderAs US-backed surrender demands mount and ceasefire negotiations collapse under the weight of sabotage and regional betrayal, Hamas is standing its ground – choosing resistance over exile, even as Gaza burns and Arab states line up to seal its fate.

Is Trump slowly getting Putin's play or is this because he need to do something to not look like an idiot?
He is angry at #Putin for his attitude towards #Zelenskyj. Well the sounds promising, but this man I don't expect this to last very long

@skykiss This is very predictable now:

- #Putin agrees with any #Ceasefire only so he can regroup and plan what to target next -and he attacks again
- #Trump proposes any random shit as long he gets minerals and his #Russian master gets everything else
- Ukraine accepts within reason to end the war and is betrayed several times

What will #Europe do to end this vicious circle?

Funding the war to keep it running will just make it go forever. The #EU needs to help Ukraine win once and for all.

Here’s what we are reading today:

The #Baltics fear a #ceasefire would increase the threat posed to their countries’ security, as #Russia could redeploy troops to NATO's northeastern flank.

Following a ceasefire, “Russia will rapidly reposition its forces," said Estonia’s DefMin
