an hour ago Obama urges Americans to 'take in the whole truth' about Israel-Hamas war By Isabel Keane
Former President Barack Obama urged Americans to "take in the whole truth" about the Israel-Hamas war before cautioning that "all of us are complicit" in the current bloodshed.
“If you want to solve the problem, then you have to take in the whole truth. And you then have to admit nobody’s hands are clean, that all of us are complicit to some degree,” he said in an excerpted portion of an interview with his former staffers for an episode of Pod Save America.
The Democrat argued it was important for his former aides to "take in the whole truth."
“What Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it,” Obama said. “And what is also true is that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable.”

The ex-U.S. official said that his former department had concluded that Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah has a presence in the U.S.
"We know that Lebanese Hezbollah has been in the United States for some time," Wolf said. "We have a threat assessment from the Department of Homeland Security going back to 2020 that says that they could engage in operations with little notice."
Wolf also referenced the crisis at the U.S. southern border as a potential threat to national security.

This should be broadcasted loud and clear. People need to be warned.
The threat has been known since 2020!!! Brandon will once again have blood on his hands because he continues to invite ILLEGALS from areas of known terrorists into our country. It's a threat to national security, yet he does nothing.
You cannot tell me that all of this hasn't been planned. Did Brandon & Co. know about the planned attack on Israel?
Just as a reminder; look how quickly all of the anti-Israel protesters have assembled in mass.
Just my opinion -- I think we are going to see multiple simultaneous attacks within this country in every major city -- maybe even the outskirts and from the countryside, very soon.

Burns was meeting with leaders and intelligence officials as the U.S. looks to increase its intelligence sharing with Israel amid its war with Hamas, according to the New York Times.
Burns will visit several countries to discuss the war in Gaza, ongoing hostage situations and the importance of ensuring the war doesn't expand beyond the borders of Gaza, the Times reported.
Burns' visit came on the same day that Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a surprise visit to the West Bank to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

More Evidence of Hamas Using Gaza Hospitals for Launching Rockets, Hiding Tunnels and Terrorists
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declassified intelligence on Sunday showing how terrorist group Hamas was hiding behind civilians and using hospitals for its terrorist offensive against the Israeli military operating in Gaza.
While the Israeli military was undertaking every possible measure to minimize harm to civilians in Gaza, Hamas was using hospitals as bases for terrorist operations and as launch pads for firing rockets at Israeli ground troops, IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari disclosed during a social media briefing on Sunday afternoon.
Hamas was not merely using hospitals for its terrorist activities, but had built them strategically to cover up its command posts and tunnel infrasture, the imagery released by the IDF showed.
The Times of Israel reported:
In a briefing to international media outlets, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari reveals new intelligence information and evidence showing Hamas’s use of medical facilities in the Gaza Strip for terror purposes.
Hagari presents a video showing an underground entrance from Sheikh Hamad Hospital, which he says connects to Hamas tunnel networks.
Another video shows Hamas gunmen opening fire at Israeli forces from the hospital.
“If it weren’t enough that we exposed a tunnel under the hospital, the terrorists also shot at our soldiers from within the hospital,” Hagari says.
He says the IDF has intelligence of a tunnel network under the so-called Indonesian Hospital, as well as aerial imagery showing rocket launchers a few dozen meters from the complex.
“Hamas systematically built the Indonesian Hospital to disguise its underground terror infrastructure,” Hagari says.
He also presents recordings of calls between Hamas officials describing their use of fuel reserves that belong to the Indonesian Hospital. (…)
“Our war is with Hamas, not the civilians in Gaza. We will not accept Hamas’s cynical use of hospitals, to hide their terror infrastructure. Hamas’s exploitation of hospitals must come to an end,” Hagari says.

Israel-Hamas war: IDF shares evidence of Hamas terrorists exploiting hospitals
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari presented evidence of Hamas terrorists exploiting hospitals in Gaza during a briefing on Sunday.
"I will be sharing evidence proving that Hamas systematically exploits hospitals as part of its war machine," Hagari said. "We already heard evidence that Hamas operates command and control centers inside and under Shifa Hospital."
"We decided to declassify and share more sensitive intelligence with you because the world must take immediate action against that information," he added.
The spokesperson also emphasized that the Hamas terrorists use civilians as "human shields" and denounced that practice.
"Among the worst of Hamas war crimes is the use of hospitals to hide the terror infrastructure," he explained. "Unsurprisingly, Hamas built the hospital on top of their terror infrastructures."

50m ago; 22:40 EST Opening summary
Hello and welcome to the Guardian’s live coverage of the war between Israel and Hamas with me, Helen Livingstone.
Jordan says it has airdropped medical supplies to a Gaza hospital overnight as Israel cut off communications in the territory on Sunday and stepped up its bombardments once again. The Israeli military said it had cut the strip in two late Sunday and Israeli media reported that the army was expected to enter Gaza City within the next 48 hours.
Meanwhile US secretary of state Antony Blinken is in Turkey on Monday, as he continues his lightning round of diplomacy in the Middle East in a bid to contain the conflict and push for humanitarian pauses in the fighting to allow aid into Gaza.
He is due to meet Turkey’s foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, in Ankara a day after hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters tried to storm an air base that houses US troops in southern Turkey.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan himself plans to travel across Turkey’s remote northeast Monday in an apparent snub of Washington’s top diplomat.
In other developments:
Gaza was rocked by a series of huge explosions on Sunday evening and communications with the coastal strip were cut, as violence also escalated on Israel’s northern boundary with Lebanon. The strikes on Gaza came as the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) indicated that its troops were planning to enter Gaza in force perhaps within the next 48 hours, according to reports in Israeli media.
Israel stopped firing in northern Gaza for several hours two days in a row to create safe passage for civilians to move to the south, a military spokesperson told CNN on Sunday, amid pressure for a humanitarian pause. “Yesterday and today, for many hours with prior notice and warning, we facilitated, we stopped firing in certain areas of northern Gaza, which is the main combat area, and we called on Palestinians to move south,” Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken made a surprise visit to Iraq on Sunday following his earlier trip to the West Bank and a brief stop in Cyprus. Iraq’s prime minister, Mohamed Shia al-Sudani, met the US secretary of state, the premier’s office said, according to Agence France-Presse. It comes as American forces in the region face a surge of attacks by Iranian-allied militias in Iraq and elsewhere. US forces shot down another one-way attack drone on Sunday that was targeting American and coalition troops near their base in neighbouring Syria, a US official said. In the West Bank, neither Blinken nor Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas spoke as they greeted each other in front of cameras and their meeting ended without any public comment.
Blinken met the president of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, on Sunday to discuss a maritime aid corridor from the island to Gaza. Their conversation included “a dedicated, one-way maritime corridor of sustained flow of humanitarian aid from Cyprus to civilians in Gaza”, Cyprus government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said.
A senior Israeli cabinet minister on Sunday called on Benjamin Netanyahu to retract a comment he was reported to have made about the need to check if a pre-war protest among army reservists pushed Hamas to carry out its attack last month. Israel’s Channel 12 and other news outlets reported that Netanyahu said there may be a need to examine whether months of protests against his government, including by reservists who said they would no longer report for regular duty, added to Hamas’ motivation to carry out the 7 October rampage through southern Israel that triggered the current war. Benny Gantz, who joined Netanyahu’s war cabinet from the opposition as part of an emergency government, said Netanyahu must retract his comment. “Avoiding responsibility and slinging mud at the time of war is a blow to the country,” Gantz wrote on social media platform X.
The leaders of the UN’s major humanitarian agencies as well as international charities have called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza, calling the situation “horrific” and “unacceptable” in a rare joint statement. While condemning the Hamas attack of 7 October, the agency head said: “The horrific killings of even more civilians in Gaza is an outrage, as is cutting off 2.2 million Palestinians from food, water, medicine, electricity and fuel.”
In a new interview with CNN, Jordan’s Queen Rania criticised Israel’s evacuation orders to Palestinians living across the Gaza Strip. She said: “The evacuation orders are sent online or on television, knowing that there’s no electricity in Gaza since the beginning of this war … [They], I do not believe, are for the benefit of the Gaza civilians. They are not the target audience, the rest of the world is. It is Israel’s attempt to try to minimise their actions.”
A total of 48 installations belonging to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees have been damaged across Gaza since 7 October. In an update released on Sunday, UNRWA added that nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced across Gaza since the war broke out nearly a month ago.
Hezbollah said it fired multiple grad rockets at the northern Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona on Sunday, in retaliation for an Israeli strike in south Lebanon that it said had killed a woman and three children, Reuters reported. In a statement, the Lebanese militant faction said its attack came in response to Israel’s “heinous and brutal crime”. Three children and their grandmother were killed in the Israeli strike, a Hezbollah lawmaker from the area said, calling the attack “a dangerous development” that would have repercussions. “The enemy will pay the price for its crimes against civilians,” lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah told Reuters, adding that the children were aged between eight and 15.
The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on only two pieces of bread every day, according to a UN official. Associated Press reports: “The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on two pieces of Arabic bread made from flour the United Nations had stockpiled in the region, yet the main refrain now being heard in the street is ‘Water, water’, the Gaza director for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said Friday.”
Palestinian telecoms firm Paltel said that Israel has once again cut internet and phone lines across Gaza on Sunday night. Paltel said in a statement: “We regret to announce the complete shutdown of communications and internet services in Gaza after the Israeli side disconnected the servers.” Shortly after the blackout, Israel launched an intense bombardment on Gaza and other nearby zones in the north of the strip. The blackout was confirmed by connectivity monitor NetBlocks.
The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) has issued an appeal for urgent expanded access to Gaza as food supplies run “dangerously low”. In a statement on Sunday, WFP head Cindy McCain said: “Right now, parents in Gaza do not know whether they can feed their children today and whether they will even survive to see tomorrow.”

Divisions in the Security Council have prevented the body from doing more than holding meetings to talk about the war.
Several resolutions calling for “humanitarian pauses” have failed to receive the necessary votes in order to pass.

Gaza escape: More than 300 Americans have gotten outfrom under Hamas, White House official says
More than 300 Americans and their family members have managed to get out of the war-torn Gaza Strip, a White House official says.
Deputy National Security Adviser Jonathan Finer made the remark on CBS’ "Face the Nation" program Sunday and said the figure included "Americans, lawful permanent residents and their family members."
"This is obviously a major priority, and one that we're going to continue to work out until every American who wants to leave is able to do so," he continued.
Fox News last week obtained a list of 400 names of U.S. citizens cleared to leave Gaza as the Israel-Hamas war rages on.
At least 10 Americans also are feared to be among the 242 people held captive by Hamas inside Gaza. Finer said negotiations remain ongoing for their release. Israel believes that the hostages are being held under Gaza City in a network of Hamas tunnels, Fox News' Trey Yingst reported Monday.

Ceasefire = Israel Surrender to Hamas No matter what or how they do it, any so called 'ceasefire' will result in Hamas celebrating and claiming victory. Any ceasefire would be a Hamas victory. It would mean that Hamas invaded Israel and got away with it. Any ceasefire would certainly lead to more attacks from every direction. It would signal that Israel can be defeated.

White House gates left defaced by graffiti from pro-Palestinian activists
Gates to the White House vandalized by demonstrators taking part in this weekend's pro-Palestinian protests have yet to be cleaned up as of Monday morning.
"Today, the National Park Service in coordination with the White House Historical Association are coordinating the removal of the spray paint," a spokesperson for Washington, D.C.'s Metropolitian Police Department (MPD) told Fox News Digital.
Photos at an entry gate north of the White House show red handprints smeared across the bricks, pro-Palestine stickers and messages advocating to "free Palestine" in the aftermath of demonstration in Washington, D.C., Saturday.
"At the time, demonstrators attempting to vandalize and trespass at the vehicle gate were addressed without incident by our Uniformed Division officers and support teams," the MPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters descending on Washington over the weekend, marching on the White House, defacing multiple statues and wrapping Palestinian flags around a statue of Benjamin Franklin.

The progressive House "Squad" member has leveled a barrage of criticism against the leader of her party over his response to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, even as she fields criticism from fellow Democrats over her own reaction to the crisis.
"You see this right?" Tlaib wrote to Biden on her Instagram Story on Sunday afternoon. She had shared a report from an outlet known as TCD News claiming that an Israeli airstrike had killed three children in South Lebanon.
"Your silence is deafening. Your complicity is even worse," Tlaib wrote. "A whole generation of children is being wiped out in front of us."

38 minutes ago Biden, Netanyahu don't agree on need for 'humanitarian pause' amid Gaza offensive By Associated Press
WASHINGTON – President Biden did not reach an agreement during his call Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the need for a humanitarian pause in the Israel-Hamas war.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US would “continue to advocate for temporary, localized pauses in the fighting.”
The Palestinian death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 10,000, including more than 4,100 children and 2,640 women, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza.
Asked whether the toll gave the US pause for its staunch support for Israel, Kirby said, “I think we all need to remember who they’re fighting,” and referenced Hamas’ Oct. 7 incursion into Israel that killed 1,400 people and started the war.
He insisted “no country” would tolerate such an attack “without a swift and aggressive response,” but said the US was having “frank” conversations with Israel about trying to reduce the civilian death toll.

Daily Briefing: Combat in North Gaza, Humanitarian Trucks in the South Quick Update from the Front Lines Lt. Col. Richard Hecht Nov 6, 2023
Where Things Stand Now
Today is November 6th. October 6th, 31 days ago, was quiet. Peaceful. And if Hamas hadn’t attacked Israel on October 7th, today would be too.
Instead, Hamas attacked, leaving 1400+ dead Israelis and 240 hostages in Gaza.
We know what Hamas did. We know they’d do it again. That’s what this war is about.
Now we’re taking the fight to them in northern Gaza, engaged in close quarter combat. The fighting has been fierce, but, like I told the media today, we countered Hamas’ attacks, we contained them. Now we’re closing in on them.
Yesterday, troops of the 36th Division reached the coast in Gaza. We’ve completed encircling northern Gaza, separating Hamas strongholds in the north from the south. This is proving to be effective.
In the meantime, we’ve been urging civilians in north Gaza to evacuate for weeks. We will continue to allow civilians to evacuate through the evacuation corridor that we’ve opened, despite Hamas efforts to stop them.

CIA Chief Pressures Israel for ‘Pause’ in Fighting — as Hamas on the Ropes
The Biden administration is ratcheting up pressure on the Israeli government to declare a “pause” in fighting against Hamas — even as Israel continues to push the terror organization into a corner.
Quote
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday:
President Biden, in a phone call Monday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urged the Israeli leader to declare a humanitarian pause, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.
The conversation came hours after Central Intelligence Agency Director Bill Burnsarrived in Israel, following a visit to the region by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Biden’s special envoy for the Middle East, David Satterfield, also returned to Israel, seeking to negotiate the terms of a temporary pause in its assault to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.
…
Israeli defiance over a humanitarian pause has been a source of contention with Washington—including with Biden, who has grown increasingly frustrated by Israel’s refusal, officials said.

Scoop: Biden Demands Gun Control for Israelis
Adam Kredo November 6, 2023
The Biden administration refused to sell American weapons to Israel unless it provided guarantees the guns would not be given to civilians living in the West Bank, the Washington Free Beacon is exclusively reporting.
The Jewish state urgently requested the United States sell it thousands of M-16 rifles following the Hamas terror group's Oct. 7 slaughter of more than 1,400 unarmed Israeli citizens. But the Biden administration would not approve the sale until Israel guaranteed the critical weapons would not reach civilian outposts in the West Bank, which the Biden administration and its Democratic allies view as occupied territory.
The stipulation was characterized by officials as unusual and indicates the Biden administration is succumbing to pressure from its far-left flank, which is pressing Israel to enact a ceasefire and accusing the Jewish state of carrying out a genocide as it defends itself from Hamas terrorists operating in the Gaza Strip.
The guns are critical to Israel’s defense as it faces down the most significant threat in decades. With the military engaged in an assault on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, Jewish civilians in dangerous areas like the West Bank are being trained and equipped to defend themselves against potential attacks.

Netanyahu on Biden’s Call to Avoid Occupation: We’ll Have ‘Overall Security Responsibility’ for Gaza for ‘Indefinite’ Time
Ian Hanchett 6 Nov 2023
During a portion of an interview with ABC News aired on Monday’s broadcast of “World News Tonight,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to President Joe Biden urging Israel to refrain from occupying Gaza and a question on how Gaza should be governed after the current conflict is over by stating that Gaza should be governed by people “who don’t want to continue the way of Hamas.” And “for an indefinite period,” Israel “will have the overall security responsibility” for the area because we have seen that when Israel doesn’t “have that security responsibility,” there is “the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine.”
Host David Muir asked, “President Biden has said that it would be a mistake for Israel to occupy Gaza. Who should govern Gaza when this is over?”
Netanyahu responded, “Those who don’t want to continue the way of Hamas. It certainly is not — I think Israel will, for an indefinite period, will have the overall security responsibility, because we’ve seen what happens when we don’t have it. When we don’t have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine.”

Children held hostage by terror group: 'Bring Them Home Now' says it won't rest until all are safely returned Faces, names and ages of innocent victims are shown By Brittany Kasko , Sydney Borchers , Angelica Stabile Fox News Published November 7, 2023 4:00am EST
There are reportedly more than 30 young children still being held hostage by the Hamas terror group as the children's parents, families and others beg day and night for the young ones' safe release.
As a desperate father of young hostages told Fox News Digital last week in a phone interview about his missing children, "I don’t know how they’re feeling. If they’re cold. If they’re eating."
Overall, some 240 people or more are still being held captive in Gaza after the Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.

UPenn alerts FBI to 'disturbing' and 'threatening' antisemitic emails against its Jewish community
The University of Pennsylvania alerted the FBI to threatening messages its staff members received targeting its Jewish community, and an investigation is underway, according to an email obtained by Fox News Digital.
Penn president Liz Magill emailed the campus community on Monday advising them that university staff members received "disturbing antisemitic emails" "threatening violence" against its Jewish community. The messages included "hateful language" and targeted "the personal identities of the recipients."
The "vile" antisemitic emails specifically named Penn Hillel, a Jewish organization at the university, and Lauder College House, an on-campus housing unit.
Magill said Penn's Division of Public Safety was immediately alerted to the threats. The Penn police subsequently notified the FBI of the "potential hate crime," and a joint investigation is underway.
"Based on these emails, Penn's Division of Public Safety conducted thorough safety sweeps of Penn Hillel and Lauder College House and found no credible threat at this time," Magill wrote in her email. "Penn Police will remain on site until further notice and has increased security presence throughout our campus."

6 minutes ago People ‘cannot even imagine’ the scale of Hamas’ tunnel system in Gaza, ‘Fauda’ creator says By Steve Janoski
The mammoth spiderweb of underground tunnels used by Hamas to shuttle militants, hostages and weapons around beneath the Gaza Strip is “something that we cannot even imagine,” according to “Fauda” creator Avi Issacharoff.
(https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/NYPICHPDPICT000071941984.jpg?quality=90&strip=all) The web of tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip is nearly unimaginable, according to former IDF soldier and TV writer Avi Issacharoff. Stephen Yang
Issacharoff — an Arabic-speaking Israeli journalist and former member of an ultra-elite Israel Defense Forces unit who co-wrote the award-winning Yes network hit “Fauda” — visited Gaza a number of times before Hamas took over the territory in 2007, according to the Times of Israel.
He said the latticework extends underneath the entire length of the 140-square-mile Gaza Strip and gives Hamas the ability to launch swift, Viet Cong-style hit-and-run attacks on the invading Israeli forces.

Israeli army reaches ‘heart of Gaza,’ traps senior-most Hamas leader in bunker, IDF says: ‘Tightening the noose’ By Ronny Reyes Published Nov. 7, 2023, 5:57 p.m. ET
The Israeli army Tuesday said its troops have entered the “heart of Gaza” and trapped Hamas’ senior most leader there in an underground bunker.
Yahya Sinwar, 61 — dubbed Israel’s most wanted and called a “dead man walking” by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin — orchestrated the terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre in Israel that killed more than 1,400 people, mainly civilians, Israeli officials have said.
“[Israel Defense Forces] … came from the north and the south. They stormed it in full coordination between land, air and sea forces,” said Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, referring to the ground invasion, on Tuesday.
“They are maneuvering on foot, armored vehicles and tanks, along with military engineers from all directions, and they have one target — Hamas terrorists,” he said.
The Israeli official said Sinwa is now isolated inside a bunker, with IDF soldiers determined to destroy it along with any infrastructure operated by the terrorists.
“They are tightening the noose around Gaza City,” Gallant boasted of Israeli forces.

'Dead man walking': Israel surrounds Hamas leader in bunker and vows to eliminate him
LBC
Hamas’s Gaza leader is surrounded in a bunker, Isreal’s defence minister has claimed as he said IDF forces were “tightening the chokehold” around Gaza City.
Yoav Gallant said Yahya Sinwar was surrounded in a bunker but did not disclose the exact location as he gave a televised press statement this evening.
Gallant said Israel’s troops had stormed the terrorist group’s strongholds “from all directions, in perfect co-ordination with maritime and aerial forces”.
Sinwar, 61, has been previously described as a “dead man walking” by Israeli officials.
Gallant said Hamas’s leader in Gaza was “hiding in his bunker ... without contact with his associates”.
It comes as Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last night Israel will have “overall security responsibility” in Gaza indefinitely after its war against Hamas ends.
Again rejecting calls for a ceasefire, Netanyahu outlined Israel’s intentions to hold a tight grip on Gaza - home to over two million Palestinians - when the war ends.

Death, destruction and despair.
For the past month it has reigned on both sides of the border separating Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Grief is in the tears of Israelis burying the 1,400 people — mostly civilians, including babies — slain by Hamas militants who stormed into Israel on Oct. 7.
It is in the anguished screams of Palestinians as the bodies of some of the more than 10,000 people reportedly killed by Israeli airstrikes — 40% of them children — are pulled from the wreckage of shattered homes.

15,000 Gazans flee south in a single day as Israel cracks down on Hamas in Gaza city
The United Nations estimates that some 15,000 people fled south from northern Gaza on Tuesday as Israel continued its campaign against Hamas terrorists in Gaza city.
Footage circulating on social media appeared to show a convoy of thousands of Gazans waving white flags as they moved south, flanked by Israeli armored vehicles. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says the Gazans used Israel's 4-hour window set up for evacuation.
Israeli forces are locked in combat with Hamas terrorists embedded in hundreds of miles of tunnels beneath Gaza City. Israeli officials said earlier this week that they believe many of the hostages Hamas took on Oct. 7 are being held under the city as well.
Those fleeing included children, older people and people with disabilities, and most walked with minimal belongings, the U.N. agency said. Some say they had to cross Israeli checkpoints, where they saw people being arrested, while others held their hands in the air and raised white flags while passing Israeli tanks.

Qatar reportedly brokering deal to release 10-15 hostages for pause in fighting By Brett Gubitosi
Qatar is reportedly negotiating a deal between Israel and Hamas to release 10-15 hostages in exchange for a short ceasefire, a source told AFP, according to the Times of Israel.
“Negotiations mediated by the Qataris in coordination with the US are ongoing to secure the release of 10-15 hostages in exchange for a one- to two-day ceasefire,” the source told AFP, who remains anonymous amid the talks.
Only four hostages have been released since Hamas' Oct. 7. terrorist attack on Israelis at a music festival.

AP PHOTOS: Death, destruction and despair reigns a month into latest Israel-Gaza conflict
By The Associated Press Updated 10:16 PM CST, November 6, 2023
Death, destruction and despair.
For the past month it has reigned on both sides of the border separating Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Grief is in the tears of Israelis burying the 1,400 people — mostly civilians, including babies — slain by Hamas militants who stormed into Israel on Oct. 7.
It is in the anguished screams of Palestinians as the bodies of some of the more than 10,000 people reportedly killed by Israeli airstrikes — 40% of them children — are pulled from the wreckage of shattered homes.
How many of the buildings in Gaza were destroyed not just by airstrikes, but secondary explosions of ordnance warehoused within or below them in the tunnel system? How many civilian casualties are the result of that?

2 hours ago Israeli investigators collect chilling survivor testimony of Hamas rapes By David Spector
Israel's national police have uncovered chilling testimony from a young woman who survived Hamas' music festival massacre detailing incidents of rape and sexual assault the Jerusalem Post reports.
"As I am hiding, I see in the corner of my eyes that [a terrorist] is raping her," the victim told investigators from Israel's Lahav 433 National Crime Unit.
“I saw the Palestinians bending her down, raping her and simply passing her on to the next. She was alive when they raped her. She was on her feet and bleeding from her back. He pulled her hair. He shot her in the head while raping her, didn't even lift his pants. They cut her breast and played with it. They just carried around someone's head as if showing strength, walked with it like a bag,” the victim recounted in horrifying detail.
In addition to interviewing survivors, police investigators have compiled evidence of rapes and sexual assaults from captured terrorists along with interviews with emergency responders.

Houthis shoot down US MQ-9 Reaper drone off coast of Yemen
A U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News that the Iranian-backed Houthis shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone near the Yemeni coast, as the Israel-Hamas war continues.
"We can confirm that a U.S. military MQ-9 remotely-piloted aircraft was shot down while in international airspace over international waters off the coast of Yemen," the official said. "U.S. Central Command officials are assessing the incident.”
The MQ-9 Reaper drone was reportedly surveilling Yemen when a Houthi militia fired at it. The drone is estimated to cost around $30 million.
The last time a MQ-9 Reaper was shot down by Houthi fighters was on June 6, 2019. The Biden administration removed the Houthis from the US list of terrorist groups in 2021.

Israel-Hamas war: John Kirby says that Hamas terrorists have 'genocidal intentions'

During his interview with Fox News host Martha Maccallum, Kirby contradicted Palestinian supporters' claims that the Israeli government is engaging in genocide.
"[Genocide is] a word that we absolutely would not ascribe to what's going on inside Gaza," Kirby asserted. "That is not the goal of Israeli military forces: it's to go after Hamas...to ascribe what Israel is doing as genocide is is simply untrue, false and doesn't doesn't subscribe to the definition of what genocide is."
"That said, Hamas very much has genocidal intentions," the official added. "Their whole purpose is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. And their purpose on [October 7th] was to do nothing but slaughter and take hostages. That is a genocidal war." Posted by Andrea Vacchiano

Israel-Hamas war: US launches airstrikes to retaliate for attacks on bases in Iraq, Syria
U.S. military forces conducted an airstrike against a weapons facility in Syria Wednesday in retaliation for dozens of attacks against US bases in the region over the past several weeks.
U.S. troops in the Middle East have been attacked at least 42 times since mid-October, with two new attacks happening in the last 24 hours.
A U.S. defense official has confirmed the developments to Fox News on Wednesday. The recent attacks on U.S. bases began on October 17th, amid turmoil in the Middle East from the Israel-Hamas war.
American troops in Iraq and Syria has been repeatedly attacked by groups likely backed by Iran. Militants have been firing one-way drones and rockets.
The official explained that the newest attacks did not injure personnel or damage infrastructure. One of the incidents occurred at the al-Shaddadi base in Syria, while the other happened in Iraq.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III released a statement about the recent airstrikes on Wednesday.
"Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted a self-defense strike on a facility in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups," the statement read. "This strike was conducted by two U.S. F-15s against a weapons storage facility. This precision self-defense strike is a response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by IRGC-Quds Force affiliates."
"The President has no higher priority than the safety of U.S. personnel, and he directed today’s action to make clear that the United States will defend itself, its personnel, and its interests," the statement added.

A new video from an interrogation of a Hamas operative revealed that many Hamas leaders are hiding in medical facilities in Gaza.
"Most of Hamas' senior political and military figures are hiding in hospitals especially Shifa Hospital," the terrorist said.
Hamas reportedly has been using hospitals, ambulances, clinics, mosques, and schools to store and transport weapons and terrorists.
"I can leave with any ambulance I want," the Hamas operative said.
"Al-Qassam has its own ambulances, some of which are also at the military base," he added. "The appearance of ambulances is similar to civilian ambulances so that they do not arouse suspicion or be bombed by Israel."

The U.S. military says it destroyed an Iran-linked weapons depot with an airstrike in Syria on Thursday.
The Pentagon says Iran-backed terrorist organizations in the region had used the depot to carry out attacks on U.S. bases in Syria. Since October 17th, U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria have been attacked 42 times.

The Israel Defense Forces said Thursday soldiers found a Hamas-operated weapons production and storage facility inside a residential building next to a child's bedroom.
The facility was used to produce and store unmanned aerial vehicles and weapons, the IDF said, and was located inside a residential building near schools in the center of the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in northern Gaza.
Explosives and operational plans were found right next to a bedroom that belonged to children, according to the force.

I thought that was the point of the F-35 program ... to have single air superiority platform with reduced maintenance costs that would allow the Pentagon to retire the Monty Python's Flying Circus of air superiority platforms we have now - F-15's, F-16's, F-18's.
If the F-35 can't fulfill a mission performed by a F-15, the F-35 isn't worth doo doo.
For the mission at hand, it is inferior to the F-15. But that's what you get with a one-size-fits-all weapons procurement policy.

Israel says nothing new as White House says it agreed to daily 4-hour humanitarian pause
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office dismisses a White House statement that says Israel has agreed to a daily four-hour humanitarian pause in northern Gaza starting today.
With an announcement made three hours ahead of time, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby says Israel has agreed to implement four-hour humanitarian pauses in northern Gaza each day.
“We’ve been told by the Israelis that there will be no military operations in these areas over the duration of the pause, and that this process is starting today,” Kirby says.
While this is the first time the US has announced this policy, Israel has been implementing these pauses since Sunday, opening a daily four-hour humanitarian corridor on Salah a-Din road for Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza to its south. However, it has been referring to the policy as a “humanitarian corridor” and not “humanitarian pauses,” ostensibly sensitive to the limited political appetite in Israel for the IDF to be holding its fire while the hostages remain in Gaza.

Color me prejudiced but rules of war don't apply to terrorists, the only rule that should ever be applied to terrorists is the rule of extinction. Does this moron Warner actually believe that Hamas is a legitimate nation or that they were ever a signatory of any treaty laying out rules for war.
It's not quite this clear-cut with Gaza and Hamas. Unlike the terrorist group of AQ or ISIS, Hamas is the recognized, elected government of Gaza. Past ceasefires have been negotiated --- with approved intermediaries --- and agreed to by both. Israel, herself, has contributed to the legitimacy of Hamas as a legal government.

Pentagon confirms four new attacks on US forces in Iraq, Syria following airstrike
The Pentagon say U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria have faced four attacks in the hours after the U.S. carried out a retaliatory airstrike on a weapons depot in Syria.
The four new incidents bring the total for attacks on U.S. forces since October 17 to 46, the U.S. military says. Three of the attacks occurred in Syria, with two involving rockets and another being a drone attack. The attack in Iraq used drones, the Pentagon says.
The U.S. reported three minor injuries in one of the Syria attacks, but the other three attacks caused no injuries and no damage to infrastructure. The three servicemembers injured have already returned to duty.
The U.S. sough to deter Iran from entering Israel's war on Hamas, deploying considerable assets to the region. Critics argue the dozens of attacks indicate that the operation is failing, however.

Hamas Sends Out Women and Children to Protect its ‘Fighters’ Hamas' human shields - and the world's deafening silence. November 9, 2023 by Hugh Fitzgerald 3 Comments
Newsletter
Hamas knows that the IDF tries to protect Palestinian civilians as best it can. Exploiting Israel’s “purity of arms,” and its fundamental decency, Hamas sent out one hundred women and children to block IDF soldiers from continuing to attack fighters in a key Hamas compound inside the Jabaliya camp. Hamas knows these civilians’ appearance will at least slow down the Israeli advance, and may even cause the IDF to call off the assault altogether, until the women and children can be rounded up and moved to a safer space. More on this latest example, among so many, of how Hamas uses its civilians — and especially its women and children — as human shields, can be found here: “Israel accuses Hamas of using over 100 women and children as human shields in Gaza,” Times of Israel, November 2, 2023:
Hamas sent a large group of women and children to act as human shields against Israel Defense Forces troops who were attacking a key compound of the terror group in the Gaza Strip, according to soldiers.
Two IDF soldiers were killed in the Tuesday assault on Hamas’s Central Jabaliya Battalion compound, located in the Jabaliya refugee camp inside Gaza. Israel is battling to destroy Hamas and end its rule over the Strip after the group’s devastating terror attack earlier this month that killed over 1,400 people in Israel, mostly civilians.

Hamas Leaders to NY Times: No Interest in Helping Palestinians in Gaza, Want ‘Permanent’ War Against Israel 410 israel attackedAHMAD AL-BASHA/AFP via Getty Images JOEL B. POLLAK8 Nov 2023411
Hamas leaders told the New York Times on Wednesday that they had no interest in governing Gaza and instead wanted to create a “permanent” state of war against Israel that, in their minds, would mobilize Arab support and keep the Palestinian cause alive.
The idea of governing Gaza well, or building institutions toward creating a Palestinian state, seems not to have occurred to them — nor did the Times‘ Ben Hubbard and Maria Abi-Habib, who had access to Hamas leaders, suggest that more constructive idea.
It was necessary to “change the entire equation and not just have a clash,” Khalil al-Hayya, a member of Hamas’s top leadership body, told The New York Times in Doha, Qatar. “We succeeded in putting the Palestinian issue back on the table, and now no one in the region is experiencing calm.”
“I hope that the state of war with Israel will become permanent on all the borders, and that the Arab world will stand with us,” Taher El-Nounou, a Hamas media adviser, told The Times.

Israel Intercepts Ballistic Missile in Space, a Military First
Legal Insurrection by James Nault 11/9/2023
In historic first, Israel intercepts ballistic missile launched from Yemen by Iran-backed Houthi rebels
In what appears to be a first in military history, on October 30th Israel intercepted a ballistic missile, in space, fired at Israel from Yemen.
From Breaking Defense: In first, Israel’s Arrow air defense system intercepts ballistic missile near Red Sea: IDF (https://breakingdefense.com/2023/10/in-first-israels-arrow-air-defense-system-intercepts-ballistic-missile-near-red-sea-idf/):
Israel’s Arrow air defense system for the first time intercepted a ballistic missile today, in an attempted strike believed to have been launched from Yemen.
The Israeli Defense Forces said the interception was the first operational use of the Arrow system since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, and that it “thwarted an aerial threat in the area of the Red Sea.” The IDF later said the missile was fired toward Israel but was intercepted before it could reach its target.
“All aerial threats were intercepted outside of Israeli territory. No infiltrations were identified into Israeli territory,” the IDF said.
Though the IDF did not say who responsible for the missile, the Houthi armed group reportedly claimed responsibility, and Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has accused the Houthis of a similar attack last week. An Oct. 28 would-be strike using drones and missiles, attributed to the Houthis, was intercepted by fire from a US naval ship.
Israel War Room @IsraelWarRoom For the first time in history: Israel was the first in the world to intercept an enemy missile in space.
Israel's Arrow (Hetz) missile defense system shot down a ballistic missile beyond the Earth's atmosphere that was launched by the pro-Iranian Houthis from Yemen towards Eilat.
-The Telegraph
Although the Iron Dome seems to get all the press, the Arrow missile defense system is Israel’s top tier of missile defense:
Though today marks Arrow’s first operational intercept of a ballistic missile, its first operational use came back in 2017 when it intercepted a surface-to-air missile fired from Syria. The Arrow program provides Israel with the upper tier of its multi-layered air defense system, together with David’s Sling and Iron Dome.

Dem Sen. Merkley: We’re Moving Away from Saying Best Thing Is For Israel ‘To Always Know We Have Their Back’
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) stated that we’re in a transition away from our policy where “we basically said, the best way we can help Israel towards a future of peace is to always know we have their back, they’ll do the right thing. But now we have seen what has transpired in the West Bank with the daily de facto annexation through highways and settlements and outposts. We’ve seen that the despair has bred violence. We’ve got to be engaged towards a better future.”

Washington Post columnist defends ex-CNN photojournalist who allegedly carried grenade for Hamas terrorists
A Washington Post columnist raised eyebrows Thursday when she rushed to defend the now-fired CNN photojournalist who allegedly carried war materiel for Hamas terrorists while effectively serving as their massacre videographer.
Megan McArdle went so far as to suggest in her defense of the Hamas-kissed photojournalist that she too might have held a grenade for terrorists if they'd been giving her a ride. What's the background?
Israeli media watchdog HonestReporting revealed Wednesday that Hamas terrorists had some of their crimes against humanity captured in real time on film by Gaza-based photojournalists who had worked with mainstream outlets, such as the Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, and the New York Times. HonestReporting asked whether the journalists had coordinated with the terrorists and whether Western media outlets had signed off on their contributors embedding with Hamas.
The report named a number of photojournalists who appear to have been especially cozy with the terrorists, including Hassan Eslaiah, who served as a freelancer for CNN up until Thursday.
While a number of the Gaza-based photojournalists seemed to know just where to be and when to be there in order to capture photos of Israeli victims and Hamas destruction, Eslaiah's proximity stood out in the report.
HonestReporting indicated that Eslaiah posted now-deleted tweets with photos showing him in front of a recently destroyed Israeli tank without a press vest or markings to distinguish himself from the terrorists. While this may not have been enough to conclude that he was ethically compromised as a journalist, additional pictures emerged casting doubt on his journalistic distance from Hamas, including an image of Eslaiah being smooched by the terrorist mastermind of the Oct. 7 attacks. ..........

Then 5 Arab Countries attacked and tried to Steal the Jewish land. If they had won, would they have returned 1 square inch in the past 75 years?
The Arab position has never changed - 100% land for Arabs, 0% for Jews. How can that lead to Peace?

New top American general says Israeli goal of toppling Hamas ‘a pretty large order’
The Times of Israel By Jacob Magid 11/10/2023
Charles Q. Brown warns prolonging Gaza operation will drive more civilians to terrorism, as US military officials push IDF to be ‘more calculating and precise’ in its strikes
The top US military official indicated Thursday that Israel will have a harder time eradicating Hamas the longer its military campaign in the Gaza Strip drags out and the more civilians that are killed in the process.
US Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown, asked whether he is concerned that the rapidly climbing non-combatant death toll in Israel’s war against Hamas will lead Palestinian civilians to turn to terror, responded, “Yes, very much so.
“And I think that’s something we have to pay attention to,” Brown told reporters in his first comments on the war in Gaza since he took over as the top US military official last month.
“That’s why when we talk about time — the faster you can get to a point where you stop the hostilities, you have less strife for the civilian population that turns into someone who now wants to be the next member of Hamas,” he said.
A senior Israeli official retorted to The Times of Israel that if the Israel Defense Forces is forced to work faster, it has less time to carry out operations surgically and in a manner that limits civilian casualties.
Brown, in his comments, called Israel’s war aim of toppling Hamas “a pretty large order,” while claiming that the campaign was focused on targeting senior Hamas leadership, which it might succeed in doing more quickly.

Columbia University suspends Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace
Columbia University announced it has suspended the school's Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace chapters.
Gerald Rosberg, senior vice president of Columbia University, said the student groups violated campus policy on Thursday afternoon when they held an unauthorized event that included threats.
"Columbia University is suspending Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) as official student groups through the end of the fall term. This decision was made after the two groups repeatedly violated University policies related to holding campus events, culminating in an unauthorized event Thursday afternoon that proceeded despite warnings and included threatening rhetoric and intimidation," Rosberg said.
SJP and JVP will not be able to hold events on campus or receive university funding through the fall semester.
Rosberg said their suspensions will be lifted when they demonstrate a commitment to following university policies and engage in "consultations at a group leadership level with University officials."
"Like all student groups, SJP and JVP are required to abide by University policies and procedures. This ensures both the safety of our community and that core University activities can be conducted without disruption. During this especially charged time on our campus, we are strongly committed to giving space to student groups to participate in debate, advocacy, and protest. This relies on community members abiding by the rules and cooperating with University administrators who have a duty to ensure the safety of everyone in our community," Rosberg said.

Inside Israel’s Manhunt for October 7 Killers
By Israel Radar / November 10, 2023
Following the October 7 massacre, Israel has launched the largest manhunt in its history. The security services are now facing a formidable task: Locating and punishing every terrorist involved in the planning and execution of the brutal Hamas assault.
After the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, Mossad embarked on a similar operation to eliminate terrorists worldwide. But this only entailed tracking dozens of individuals. Today, Israel is hunting for thousands.
Notably, the process of avenging the mass slaughter in southern Israel has already started. Based on initial estimates, about 1,000 terrorists who participated in the October 7 raid have been killed in fighting inside Israel. Many others are being eliminated by IDF forces in Gaza.
According to Maariv daily, Southern Command Chief Yaron Finkelman has a board in his office with hundreds of names of Hamas leaders and commanders. Every night, he marks with a red X the ones Israeli forces killed that day in Gaza.

Israel Prepares for Possible Fentanyl-filled Rockets from Hamas, Hezbollah
Joel B. Pollak 10 Nov 2023
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel is preparing for the possibility that the Hamas terror organization in Gaza and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon may attack using rockets filled with various liquid fentanyl variants, designed to incapacitate and kill large numbers of people.
The Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s version of the Red Cross, sent an alert to staffers this week telling them that Israel’s health authorities had warned the MDA to prepare for the possibility that terror organizations might cause a mass casualty event using opioids from the fentanyl class of compounds. The MDA asked staff members to familiarize themselves with the protocol for treating a mass casualty event triggered by fentanyl.
Though the MDA alert did not mention rockets specifically, a source told Breitbart News that a few rockets with chemical capabilities had been found in Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also said in a statement Sunday that some Hamas weapons recovered in the area of Beit Hanoun had been “brought to Israel for further examination,” without elaboration.

Columbia suspends Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace
Columbia University suspended two student organizations that have led protests calling for a cease-fire in Israel’s war on Hamas militants in Gaza, which has killed thousands of civilians, the university announced Friday.
University Vice President Gerald Rosberg cited campus safety in announcing that Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) will be suspended through the end of the fall semester.
“This decision was made after the two groups repeatedly violated University policies related to holding campus events, culminating in an unauthorized event Thursday afternoon that proceeded despite warnings and included threatening rhetoric and intimidation,” he said.
On Thursday, hundreds of Columbia students walked out of their classes for a protest hosted by the two organizations urging the U.S. government to back a cease-fire in the conflict.
Both groups have a presence on dozens of college campuses nationwide and have led controversial protests against the Israeli and U.S. governments.
The war in Gaza began in early October after Hamas militants killed more than a thousand Israeli civilians in a surprise attack on border communities. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
Multiple one-way drones targeted U.S. forces at Rumalyn Landing Zone in northeast Syria on Saturday morning, a U.S. Defense official said.
One drone was shot down and the other impacted Rumalyn Landing Zone but did not detonate. No injuries or damage to infrastructure has been reported.
"Between Oct. 17-Nov. 11, U.S. and Coalition Forces have been attacked at least 48 times to date," the official said. There have been 24 separate attacks in Iraq and 24 separate incidents in Syria by a mix of one-way attack drones and rockets, they added.
"Most of these attacks were successfully disrupted by our military. Most failed to reach their targets, thanks to our robust defenses," the official said.
This marks the sixth attack on American forces since the U.S. airstrikes in Syria on Wednesday night, Nov. 8.
Iran-backed militia groups in the Middle East have targeted American forces stationed in the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. President Biden has warned outside groups not to get involved in the war to prevent a wider regional conflict.

IDF says airstrikes have hit 5,000 targets in Gaza Strip since the beginning of ground operations
The Israeli military said Saturday that the air force has struck some 5,000 targets in the Gaza Strip to "thwart threats in real time."
The IDF said about 3,300 attacks were carried out by fighter jets, about 860 attacks by helicopter gunships and over 570 attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles.
Many of these precision strikes have taken place in close proximity to Israeli troops fighting Hamas on the ground, the military said.
The shortest response time measured was about six minutes from when troops called for an airstrike, according to the IDF.
Earlier, an IDF aircraft attacked a rocket launcher in Lebanese territory from which the terrorist group Hezbollah fired at Israeli military posts and forces along the border.
Rocket sirens and drone alerts sounded in northern Israel on Saturday as Iran-backed militia groups continue to harass Israeli forces amid the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. Hezbollah has fired missiles and carried out drone attacks in Israel dozens of times since the war began on Oct. 7. Posted by Chris Pandolfo

Israel Builds Military Power Based on Ukraine War Lessons
ISRAEL RADAR By Israel Radar / November 6, 2022
Israel is bolstering the power of its ground forces based on Ukraine war lessons, a senior officer says. Israeli defense chiefs expect that a future conflict will require IDF ground forces to launch a deep incursion into enemy territory.
As part of IDF war preparations, Israel is quickly boosting the military gear of its combat forces. The army built “phenomenal capabilities” to combine intelligence and firepower by integrating new weapons and cutting-edge tech into the battlefield, says Major General Tamir Yadai, chief of the Ground Force Command.

Yadai added that the IDF will deploy “the best tank in the world,” Barak 5, which is fitted with superb protection gear. The army accelerated the production of its most advanced battle tank as it closely observes the Ukraine war.

IDF Kills Hamas Terrorist Who Held 1,000 Palestinians Hostage at Hospital
JOEL B. POLLAK11 Nov 2023475 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel Security Agency (ISA, or Shin Bet / Shabak) announced Saturday that Ahmed Siam, a Hamas terrorist who held 1000 Palestinians hostage at a local hospital, had been killed by the IDF in an airstrike in Gaza.
In a statement, the IDF said:
Based on precise IDF and ISA intelligence, and with the direction of IDF ground troops, IDF aircraft struck Ahmed Siam, a company commander of the Naser Radwan Company of the Hamas terrorist organization. Two days ago, the IDF spokesperson exposed that Siam held hostage approximately 1000 Gazan residents at the Rantisi Hospital and prevented them from evacuating southwards for their safety.
Ahmed Siam was killed while hiding in the “al Buraq” school, where additional terrorists under this command were also hiding and were killed. Ahmed Siam demonstrates once again that Hamas uses the civilians of the Gaza Strip as human shields for terror purposes.

Israel Pauses to Help Civilians Escape; Media 'Accomplices' of Hamas Crimes Exposed CHRIS MITCHELL 11-10-2023
JERUSALEM, Israel – Inside the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are closing in on key Hamas strongholds. For the first time since the beginning of the war, Israel has also agreed to limited daily humanitarian pauses.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News that the “pauses” announced by the White House will be limited, and only in different neighborhoods, so civilians can get away. Again, he made clear there will be no ceasefire until all of the hostages held by Hamas are released.
“No, the fighting continues against the Hamas terrorists; but in specific locations for a given period, a few hours here, a few hours there, we want to facilitate the safe passage of civilians away from the zone of fighting,” Netanyahu said.
So far, thousands of Gazans have been able to flee the fighting in the north to safer areas in the south.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that Israel would not support a Palestinian Authority-led government in Gaza after it completes a war to eliminate Hamas in the territory, going against pressure from the U.S.
Netanyahu said Saturday that Israel will retain “overall security control” in Gaza “including the capacity to go in whenever we want to eliminate terrorists who may pop up again.”
Netanyahu did not name a proposal for a new post-war government in Gaza, implying that Israeli control of the territory is a red line in U.S.-Israeli relations.

Middle East leaders hold emergency summit amid siege on Gaza hospital The Guardian, Nov 11, 2023
Leaders from across the Middle East and surrounding region are meeting in Saudi Arabia for an emergency summit on Gaza, as the territory’s largest hospital remains encircled by Israeli forces, without power, and with strikes “on everything moving inside the complex”, according to staff trapped inside.
“We are totally cut off from the whole world, we are minutes away from imminent death,” Mohammad abu Salmiya, the head of Dar al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, told Al Jazeera.
The hospital is the largest in the Gaza Strip and the linchpin of the medical system in the besieged territory, as well as now providing shelter to an estimated 15,000 people.
Tens of thousands more people fled the compound overnight, some walking miles to the south of Gaza, after a campaign of strikes drew closer to the large complex in the west of Gaza City as Israeli forces increasingly encircled the area with tanks and snipers.
“The hospital compound is cordoned off and the buildings of the hospital are targeted. Any moving person within the compound is targeted,” said Abu Salmiya. Israeli forces remained directly outside the complex, preventing those inside from fleeing, he said.
Hospital officials said they no longer had access to water, power or medical supplies, leaving the facility without the ability to sustain vital life support systems. One baby inside the intensive care unit in al-Shifa hospital had died due to a lack of oxygen supplies, according to statements from the Palestinian health ministry spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qidra, with 39 more at risk of death inside incubators.

Most participants pushed for a joint statement including 4 points:
(1) prevention from providing military equipment to Israel from U.S. bases in Arab located in Arab countries.
(2) freezing of all diplomatic relations with Israel temporarily.
(3) threat of oil embargo similar to 1973
(4) closing airspace to Israeli planes
Proposal was NOT accepted due to opposition of: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Bahrain, Sudan, Egypt and Jordan.

The U.S. military retaliated over recent attacks on American bases by bombing two facilities in eastern Syria, a senior U.S. official tells Fox News.
Two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stations in the Middle East were hit on Sunday night. One was an IRGC training facility, while the other was used by IRGC proxy forces.
Sunday night's airstrikes were the third set of retaliatory attacks against Iranian proxies on behalf of the U.S. since October 27.
American forces have been attacked in the Middle East dozens of times since mid-October, with terrorists firing drones and rockets towards bases.

US, Israel unsure how many Hamas hostages are 'still alive,' Jake Sullivan says Sullivan is working to secure the release of 10 missing Americans from Gaza By Anders Hagstrom Fox News Published November 12, 2023 10:57am EST
The U.S. and Israel are unsure of how many hostages that Hamas terrorists took on Oct. 7 are "still alive," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday.
Sullivan made the comments during an appearance on ABC's "This Week." He said the U.S. remains focused on securing the release of the nine U.S. citizens and one U.S. green card-holder believed to be in Hamas custody. He said that while Israel is classifying all 239 missing individuals as hostages of Hamas, there is no way to be sure how many of them are "still alive."
"We do not know the precise number of hostages. We know the number of missing, and that's the number the Israelis have given, but we don't know how many of those are still alive," Sullivan told ABC. "As far as Americans are concerned, there are nine missing American citizens as well as a missing legal permanent resident--a green card holder."
Sullivan said he will be meeting with family members of the missing Americans later this week.

A three-year-old American orphan is among the hostages being held by the Palestinian Hamas terrorist group after their barbaric October 7 raid on Israel.
The toddler’s parents were slaughtered by the terror group during the massacre last month that saw 1,200 civilians killed and around 200 people taken hostage including at least nine U.S. nationals.
The child’s presence in Gaza amongst the hostages was revealed Sunday in a readout of a call between President Joe Biden and Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad al-Thani of Qatar released by the White House.

Israeli minister says Hamas has 'lost control of Gaza'
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Hamas has "lost control" of Gaza amid the Israeli military's assault on the terrorist organization.
Gallant made the statment in a Monday broadcast to Israeli television. Israel is in the 38th day of its war against Hamas, and its ground assault in Gaza has lasted for roughly two weeks. While Gallant says Hamas' control over the region has been removed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will not stop until the terrorist organization is "destroyed."
“Hamas has lost control of Gaza. Terrorists are fleeing southward. Civilians are looting Hamas bases,” he said. “They don’t have faith in the government anymore."
"There is no power that Hamas has capable of stopping the IDF. The IDF is advancing to every point," he added.
Israel has yet to release images of the looting Gallant referenced, however, as it has done for many incidents since Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre. Posted by Anders Hagstrom

Israel-Hamas war: State Department spox says Hamas shouldn't have refused fuel from Israel
U.S. State Department Spokesperson Matt Miller called out Hamas terrorists on Monday for reportedly refusing fuel from Israeli officials at al-Shifa Hospital.
The State Department spokesman made his remarks during a press briefing on Monday afternoon.
"If they need fuel, which they clearly do, they should have taken the offer from the government of Israel," Miller said. "But to the larger point, Hamas is sitting on fuel reserves in northern Gaza. Hamas is using fuel reserves to ventilate its tunnels."
Miller then accused Hamas of neglecting hospital patients in Gaza by not giving them their own fuel.
"If Hamas truly cared for the people in al-Shifa and in other hospitals in the north, it could take the fuel that it's using to protect its fighters and send it to the hospitals so the hospitals could protect patients," he added. "They are not doing that." Posted by Andrea Vacchiano

3-year-old American among Hamas hostages: Biden By Melissa Koenig
A 3-year-old American whose parents were murdered on Oct. 7 is among those still being held hostage by Hamas terrorists, President Biden has revealed.
Biden referred to the child -- who was not identified -- in a Sunday call to Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani to offer thanks for help releasing earlier hostages as well as "the urgent ongoing efforts to secure additional releases," the White House said.
The president "condemned unequivocally the holding of hostages by Hamas, including many young children, one of whom is a 3-year old American citizen toddler, whose parents were killed by Hamas on October 7th," the White House said of the call.
"The two leaders agreed that all hostages must be released without further delay," the statement added.

Israel supports US President Joe Biden’s inclusion of humanitarian aid for Gaza in the $106 billion national security package that he presented to Congress last month to fund Washington’s security support for Israel and Ukraine, a senior Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
However, the official clarifies that this support from Jerusalem is conditioned on the aid meeting specific criteria, which Israel is raising with US lawmakers who are currently working to advance the aid package.
These include differentiating between short-term, emergency assistance, which must be fully coordinated with Israel, and funding for rehabilitating Gaza after the war. Israel is also asking for post-war funding to include aid that will help bolster Egypt’s border with Gaza to ensure that the enclave is not re-militarized in a “post-Hamas Gaza,” according to the senior Israeli official.

Gallant: Hamas has lost control in Gaza; gunmen who fired from hospital entrance killed
The Times of Israel By Emanuel Fabian 11/14/2023
Soldiers photographed with Israeli flags inside Hamas’s parliament building; army details elimination of multiple Hamas commanders in effort to disrupt terror group’s operations
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Monday that Hamas had lost control in the Gaza Strip, as the Israel Defense Forces moved to fully capture Gaza City.
“There is no force of Hamas capable of stopping the IDF. The IDF is advancing at every location. The Hamas organization has lost control in Gaza: Terrorists are fleeing south, civilians are looting Hamas bases. They have no confidence in the government,” Gallant said, after holding an assessment on the fighting.
“Underneath the hospital, in the basement, we found a Hamas command and control center, suicide-bomb vests, grenades, AK-47 assault rifles, explosive devices, RPGs, and other weapons, computers, money, etc,” Spokesman Daniel Hagari said, in an English-language press conference.
The military also said it had killed a group of gunmen who had fired on troops from another Gaza City hospital, publishing footage of the incident. It announced that it had killed a number of Hamas commanders in airstrikes over the past day, and provided details on its efforts to eliminate field commanders and disrupt the terror group’s operations in the Gaza Strip over the past few weeks
Monday night saw a rocket barrage launched from Gaza at central Israel for the first time since Friday. Sirens also sound in Ashkelon and other areas of southern Israel. There were no reports of injuries or damage. RPG cell in a hospital
Troops killed members of a terror cell that opened fire at Israeli forces from Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City Monday. The cell at the hospital opened fire at troops of the 188th Armored Brigade with light arms and RPGs, while “embedded within a group of civilians at the entrance,” according to the IDF.
With air support, IDF troops returned fire at the Hamas operatives, killing 21 of them. No troops were hurt, but one tank was damaged by an RPG, the IDF added.
During the exchange of fire, the IDF said civilians were seen leaving the hospital, and other gunmen came out of adjacent buildings and hid among them.
After firing RPGs at troops, the IDF said the gunmen fled back into the hospital.
The military released footage of the battle that appeared to show RPG-wielding gunmen running into the hospital.

White House: If Iran Proxies Keep Attacking Troops, We’ll Continue ‘to Mitigate that Threat’
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby responded to claims that the U.S. is failing to deter Iranian proxy groups by stating that if the attacks continue, “we’re going to have to continue to respond and respond aggressively and appropriately to mitigate that threat.”
Host Andrea Mitchell said, “[T]he U.S. has now conducted its third round of retaliatory strikes against Iranian-linked sites in Syria. This time, notably, it killed several Iranians. Deterrence doesn’t seem to be working.”
Kirby responded, “Well, again, these groups and the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard Corps that works for the supreme leader that funds and supports these militia groups, they’ve got some choices to make. If they want to keep attacking our troops in Iraq and Syria and keep threatening our facilities and the lives of our folks in harm’s way, then we’re going to have to continue to respond and respond aggressively and appropriately to mitigate that threat. These targets were targets that went directly at the IRGC’s ability to continue to provide capabilities to these groups. We’re not looking for conflict. We don’t want to see any more attacks. But we’ve got to do what we’ve got to do to protect our troops and our facilities, and we’ll keep doing that.”

IDF offers incubators to stricken Gaza hospital alleged to be Hamas headquarters
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Tuesday that it has launched a "humanitarian effort" to facilitate the transfer of incubators from a hospital in Israel to Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, where the IDF alleges Hamas has placed its headquarters underneath.
The move comes as the IDF says it "remains committed to upholding its moral and professional responsibilities to distinguish between civilians and Hamas terrorists."
"The IDF is willing to work with any reliable mediating party to ensure the transfer of the incubators," it said in a statement.
Israel said Tuesday that its main target in northern Gaza remains the Hamas headquarters it says is located beneath Al-Shifa Hospital -- a claim the terrorist group denies. The IDF has surrounded the facility, which The Associated Press says is filled with hundreds of patients, medical staff and displaced people grappling with dwindling supplies and without electricity to run incubators and other equipment.
The IDF on Tuesday released audio of a phone call it says was between a senior officer from the Gaza Coordination and Liaison Administration – an agency that oversees activity at Israel-Gaza border crossing – and the hospital’s director.

Biden shares message with US hostages held by Hamas: 'We're coming'
President Biden shared a brief message intended for the American and other hostages currently held by Hamas in Gaza on Tuesday.
Biden made the comment at the end of an address focused on combating climate change, telling the hostages: "Hang in there, we're coming." The U.S. has not announced any plans to deploy troops to Israel, however.
There are up to 10 American hostages in Hamas custody, including nine U.S. citizens and one legal permanent resident, or greencard holder.
Israel says there are up to 228 other hostages, though Biden's administration has admitted there is no way to know how many of the hostages are still alive.

A multi-rocket attack struck a U.S. Mission Support Site Euphrates in Syria on Tuesday, the 5th attack on U.S. forces since Sunday's air strike killing Iranian-backed militants, two Defense officials told Fox News.
No injuries or damage to the base have been reported, the officials said. This was the 53rd attack since October 17th. Each of the five since Sunday have been in Syria.
The attacks come as President Biden's administration seeks to prevent Israel's war against Hamas from sparking into a wider conflict in the Middle East. Iran and its terrorist proxies have carried out attacks on both the U.S. and Israel, but have yet to join the conflict in earnest.

Children as Young as 10 Took Part in Hamas's Oct. 7 Terror Attack, Survivors Say Gazan children plunder Kibbutz Nir Oz in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. (Via Eyal Barad) Andrew Tobin November 14, 2023
EILAT, Israel—Eran Smilansky, a 28-year-old potato farmer, watched Gazan children go from house to house in his kibbutz on Oct. 7. Hamas terrorists followed. The boys laughed as the gunmen shot or dragged away Israeli families.
"They were like young, young kids," said Smilansky, who defended his home from terrorists for more than six hours that day. "They were going in front of the terrorists, laughing with their friends and looking very calm. I remember thinking, What the bleep?"
Smilansky was one of a dozen survivors of the Nir Oz massacre who told the Washington Free Beacon they witnessed boys or women from the Gaza Strip looting the kibbutz, helping the armed terrorists, and apparently enjoying themselves. The youngest children were around 10 years old, according to several of the survivors, one of whom provided photographs of some of the women and children he saw. The survivors spoke at a hotel in Eilat, Israel's Red Sea resort town, where most of them have been temporarily relocated.
IDF says its 162nd Division — which entered Gaza from the north — has completed the capture of the al-Shati camp, and will soon link up with the 36th Division which entered the Strip from the east, reaching the coast.
The IDF says al-Shati was a main Hamas stronghold. “Inside the camp there is a lot of enemy infrastructure and many forces of Hamas were concentrated there, including the al-Shati Battalion, which took a central part in the October 7 [attacks],” it says.
The 162nd Division had pushed south from northern Gaza when the ground operation began two and a half weeks ago, heading into Gaza City, and facing resistance in the al-Shati camp in the last few days.
There were at least four clashes with Hamas operatives in al-Shati in the last few hours. According to the military, nearly every other home in the camp was booby-trapped.
Around 150,000 to 200,000 Palestinians are estimated to have fled the camp as Israeli troops entered. The troops of the division battled around 200 Hamas operatives in al-Shati.
The military believes it has full control of al-Shati, though there could still be incidents. It says Hamas’s command and control systems in the area were completely dismantled during the raids.
The 162nd Division is now working to methodically clear the al-Shati area of any Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels and caches of weapons.
The IDF also details the division's other operations in northern Gaza, saying it dealt “significant blows” to Hamas’s infrastructure and operational capabilities.
According to the IDF, the division has found and destroyed more than 160 tunnel shafts, struck some 2,800 Hamas sites, and killed around 1,000 terror operatives and senior commanders.
The division raided and captured what the IDF says are Hamas’s “strategic and essential assets” in northern Gaza, including the Outpost 17 stronghold, the so-called “military quarter” of Gaza City, Rantisi Hospital — which the IDF suspects was used by Hamas to hold Israeli hostages — and the Bader outpost.
It says the division’s 401st Armored Brigade and Givati Infantry Brigade led the maneuver into al-Shati, destroying dozens of Hamas sites with tank shelling and calling in airstrikes.
The division’s Nahal Infantry Brigade, meanwhile, captured Hamas’s main outpost in al-Shati, and destroyed its infrastructure, killing terror operatives in the process, and detaining others for questioning by the Shin Bet in Israel, the IDF says.
The division’s Commando Brigade operated in the northern part of al-Shati to locate terror operatives. It also operated deeper in the camp, destroying Hamas infrastructure and raiding buildings used by the terror group, including a school where the IDF says troops found an anti-tank missile launch position and a weapons cache.
The commander of the 162nd Division, Brig. Gen. Itzik Cohen, hails the operations, saying the military is “dismantling Hamas’s centers of mass and capabilities that the organization has built up over the years.”
“The forces of the division killed over 1,000 terrorists from the beginning of the ground maneuver and reduced by about 80 percent the amount of rocket fire towards Israel from the north of the Gaza Strip,” Cohen adds.

Israeli airstrike on family car in Lebanon should be considered war crime, Human Rights Watch says Annemarie Bonner
An Israeli airstrike that hit a family in a car on Nov. 5 should be treated as a war crime, Human Rights Watch said today. The attack killed three girls, their grandmother and their mother, HRW said. The family was traveling from south Lebanon to Beirut at the time.
“This attack by Israeli military forces that struck a car carrying a family fleeing violence shows a reckless disregard for civilian life,” Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at HRW, said in a press release. “Their killing is a violation of the laws of war, and Israel’s allies, like the US, should respond to this apparent war crime by demanding accountability for this unlawful strike.”
The IDF admitted to carrying out the strike, telling the Times of Israel that it “struck a vehicle in Lebanese territory that was identified as a suspicious vehicle containing several terrorists […] The claim that there were several uninvolved civilians in the vehicle is being examined. The event is under review.”

The Israeli military said it was working on getting portable incubators to help the infants at Al-Shifa, but El Mokhallalati said he believes they will still need electricity the hospital cannot afford to give.
The babies need evacuation to a place where they can get proper care, but the IDF has not given them permission to move the children out of Gaza City or a plan to do so, he added.
"We didn't receive anything as a proper offer to evacuate the patients yet — the babies yet — no one has offered anything," El Mokhallalati said. "The only beginning of talks were from the Egyptian side saying how many do you have? What are their names?"

"A cell with a small area like the Gaza Strip without natural resources and independent sources of livelihood has no chance to exist independently, economically and politically in such a high density for a long time," Smotrich said in a post on Facebook.
He added that the "reception of refugees" by other countries that will accept them is the only solution to "end the suffering and pain of Jews and Arabs alike."

Israel in talks to finish hostage deal as Hamas names conditions for release Peter Cordi 3–4 minutes
November 14, 2023 01:40 PM
Israel and Hamas are on the brink of securing a hostage deal to bring home the captives kidnapped in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on southern Israel, according to a report Monday.
The deal is just “days away,” according to the Washington Post, citing an anonymous high-ranking Israeli official. Qatar has been working with both sides to negotiate for the release of hostages.
Hamas has laid out two stipulations for a deal to release its hostages, including a prisoner swap and a short ceasefire.
The Palestinian terrorist organization allegedly told Qatari mediators that it was prepared to free up to 70 women and children held in Gaza, but blamed Israel for delaying such an agreement.
"Last week, there was an effort from the Qatari brothers to release the enemy captives … in return for the release of 200 Palestinian children and 75 women detained by the enemy," said Abu Obaida, a spokesman for the armed wing of Hamas, in an audio recording posted to the group’s Telegram channel.
Obaida claimed the reason why a deal has yet to be struck to free both Palestinian prisoners in Israel as well as Israeli hostages in Gaza is that Israel is “procrastinating.”
He additionally explained Hamas’s parameters for a ceasefire to “allow aid and humanitarian relief everywhere in the Gaza Strip.”

US and UK impose fresh sanctions on Hamas, targeting money transfers from Iran to Gaza
The United States on Tuesday said it has imposed sanctions on a group of Hamas officials and members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) who work to transfer money from Iran to Gaza.
A Lebanese money exchange service that facilitates the transfers has also been sanctioned. The sanctions are being coordinated with the United Kingdom and are aimed at protecting the international financial system from abuse by Hamas militants and their enablers, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.
The sanctions block the targeted entities from accessing U.S. property and bank accounts while also preventing them from doing business with Americans.

Israel Defense Forces @IDF
🔴 Operational Update:
IDF forces are carrying out a precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area in the Shifa Hospital, based on intelligence information and an operational necessity.
The IDF is conducting a ground operation in Gaza to defeat Hamas and rescue our hostages. Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the civilians in Gaza.
The IDF forces include medical teams and Arabic speakers, who have undergone specified training to prepare for this complex and sensitive environment, with the intent that no harm is caused to the civilians being used by Hamas as human shields.
In recent weeks, the IDF has publicly warned time and again that Hamas' continued military use of the Shifa hospital jeopardizes its protected status under international law, and enabled ample time to stop this unlawful abuse of the hospital. Yesterday, the IDF conveyed to the relevant authorities in Gaza once again that all military activities within the hospital must cease within 12 hours. Unfortunately, they did not.
The IDF has also facilitated wide-scale evacuations of the hospital and maintained regular dialogue with hospital authorities.
We call upon all Hamas terrorists present in the hospital to surrender.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich today said Israel "will no longer be able to put up with the existence of an independent entity in Gaza," after prominent lawmakers suggested moving the Gazan population to other nations in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.
"A cell with a small area like the Gaza Strip without natural resources and independent sources of livelihood has no chance to exist independently, economically and politically in such a high density for a long time," Smotrich said in a post on Facebook.
He added that the "reception of refugees" by other countries that will accept them is the only solution to "end the suffering and pain of Jews and Arabs alike."
[The majority opinion is: the one thing Israel (Netanyahu) preferred to a two-state solution has been a "quiet" Hamas and their feud with Abbas's Fatah as a bulwark against it. If Hamas goes, it would make sense the Gazans would need to follow.]

BREAKING REPORT: Israeli soldiers storm Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza..
Israeli forces conducted a raid on Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza in an effort to locate Hamas operatives believed to be hiding in an underground command center, as calls for a ceasefire to evacuate trapped civilians intensified from Palestinian authorities.
The operation at the hospital commenced early Wednesday morning and was described by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as a "precise and targeted operation against Hamas in a specified area" within the facility.
The IDF had surrounded the hospital as part of its ongoing ground offensive against Hamas.
Israeli officials have alleged that the militants utilize the hospital to conceal their military operations, a claim supported by a previous statement from the White House.

Everything You Need to Know about Hamas’s Hospital Operations
National Review By Jim Geraghty
On the menu today: everything we know about Hamas operations around and underneath the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, the difficult choices facing the Israel Defense Forces, and how President Biden is like your spouse telling you to “be careful” when you’re up on the roof trying to put up the Christmas lights.
Anybody Want to Hold Hamas Responsible for Its Deliberate Decisions, or Nah?
What would you like Israel to do about the Hamas operations under the Al-Shifa hospital complex and other hospitals in the Gaza Strip?
A lot of those currently demanding a cease-fire would likely answer, “Leave those operations alone.” That’s a good way to ensure that the threat of Hamas continues. This is the same dynamic as the proposal to deploy U.S. Naval hospital ships off the coast of the Gaza Strip to treat Palestinian children discussed yesterday. Anytime you declare, “Israel will not strike in this spot,” Hamas will move its forces and its equipment to that spot.
The decision before Israel is to either attack the Hamas targets underneath hospitals while attempting to avoid civilian casualties, or to leave the Hamas operations intact. Attack, and you run the risk of higher Palestinian civilian casualties, even greater outrage on the world stage, and even more propaganda victories for Hamas, painting the Israelis as cruel monsters. Hold back, and Hamas gets to keep more of its men and arms safely in place to fight another day and plot more massacres.
For those who wonder if Hamas really does operate underneath the Al-Shifa hospital, here’s an account from Taghreed El-Khodary and Ethan Bronner of the New York Times, back in 2008:
At Shifa Hospital on Monday, armed Hamas militants in civilian clothes roved the halls. Asked their function, they said they were providing security. But there was internal bloodletting under way.
In the fourth-floor orthopedic section, a woman in her late twenties asked a militant to let her see Saleh Hajoj, her 32-year-old husband. She was turned away and left the hospital. Fifteen minutes later, Hajoj was carried out of his room by young men pretending to transfer him to another hospital section. As he lay on the stretcher, he was shot in the left side of the head. A bit of brain emerged on the other side of his skull.
Hajoj, like five others who were killed at the hospital in this way in the previous 24 hours, was accused of collaboration with Israel. He had been in the central prison awaiting trial by Hamas judges, and when Israel destroyed the prison on Sunday he and the others were transferred to the hospital. But their trials were short-circuited.
Another account from El-Khodary in 2009 described a young Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighter demanding he be treated first, ahead of civilians, even if their injuries were more severe:
A car arrived with more patients. One was a 21-year-old man with shrapnel in his left leg who demanded quick treatment. He turned out to be a militant with Islamic Jihad. He was smiling a big smile.
“Hurry, I must get back so I can keep fighting,” he told the doctors.
He was told that there were more serious cases than his, that he needed to wait. But he insisted. “We are fighting the Israelis,” he said. “When we fire we run, but they hit back so fast. We run into the houses to get away.” He continued smiling.
“Why are you so happy?” this reporter asked. “Look around you.”
A girl who looked about 18 screamed as a surgeon removed shrapnel from her leg. An elderly man was soaked in blood. A baby a few weeks old and slightly wounded looked around helplessly. A man lay with parts of his brain coming out. His family wailed at his side.
“Don’t you see that these people are hurting?” the militant was asked.
“But I am from the people, too,” he said, his smile incandescent. “They lost their loved ones as martyrs. They should be happy. I want to be a martyr, too.”

November 15, 2023 Reminder: Israel was obeying the 'ceasefire' on October 7, its enemies were not! By Ethel C. Fenig
On the 22nd and 23rd of Tishrei, 5784 according to the Jewish calendar, corresponding this year to October 7 and October 8, 2023 CE on the secular calendar, Jews around the world were celebrating the holiday of Simchat Torah, marking the annual completion of the reading of the Torah (The first part of the "Bible" in English) while starting again from the beginning.
In Israel itself, thousands of mostly young Israeli Jews, along with some Christians and Muslims and others from around the world, were joyously attending a music festival in the southern part of the tiny country when Total Evil in the form of citizens from neighboring Apartheid Gaza, which is 99% Muslim, (no Jews allowed) descended, brutally slaughtering over 1,100 unarmed attendees and residents of nearby Israeli small villages. Several hundred they didn't murder were violently taken captive, including babies and young children.
But...but...there was a "ceasefire"! Oh, that! Only Israelis, only Jews are supposed to obey mutually signed agreements! In 99% Muslim Gaza, the ruling Hamas set up military bases in hospitals. In schools. In residential apartment buildings. In office buildings, coexisting with reporters from the AP, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, who dutifully report the news, i.e., propaganda their Hamas rulers tell them. Or else.

UK Reporter Sees Hamas Shooting from Inside Hospital and UNRWA School NOV 12, 2023 2:00 PM BY HUGH FITZGERALD7 COMMENTS
In Gaza, Hamas terrorists have entirely taken over the “Indonesian” Hospital (so named because the government of Indonesia supplied the funds to build it), and a nearby UNRWA school, and they have been firing from inside both at IDF soldiers. Usually Western journalists fail to report on this use by Hamas of buildings emptied of their civilians, but in this case, a Telegraph reporter embedded with the IDF offered a truthful account. More on his report, and why the IDF sometimes has to limit its ruse of airstrikes in response to Hamas gunfire even when no civilians are around, can be found here: “Finally, a reporter actually reports about Hamas firing from hospitals and UNRWA schools,” Elder of Ziyon, November 8, 2023:
On Sunday, the IDF published evidence that Hamas tunnels were built during the construction of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza.
Indonesia strongly denied the accusation.
The IDF has the video clearly showing the tunnels had been built not afterwards, but at the same time as the Indonesian Hospital was built. The Indonesians of course deny that, but structural engineers are sure that the tunnels were not an afterthought; they were there from the beginning.
In a rare example of real journalism, The Telegraph (paywalled) reports:
Hamas terrorists were making a “last stand” in a hospital in northern Gaza on Tuesday night in a showdown witnessed by a Telegraph reporter.

US public backing for Israel and its ongoing war against Hamas is waning with most Americans supporting a cease-fire more than a month after the vicious terror attack, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
In a two-day poll that ended Tuesday, about 32% of respondents said the US should back Israel when asked what role the ally should play in the battle. The percentage was a drop of nearly 10 points from a poll conducted on Oct. 12-13.
Meanwhile, about 39% of respondents want the US government to be a “neutral mediator.”
That figure is up from 27% dating back to last month’s poll.
Four percent of respondents in the poll believe the US should support Palestinians and 15% want the US to stay out of the ongoing conflict.

Israeli opposition leader calls for Benjamin Netanyahu's resignation: 'We need change' By Miles Schachner
Yair Lapid, the Opposition Leader in Israel, called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign on Wednesday, citing a lack of public trust in the leader amid the war against Hamas in Gaza.
"This government isn’t functioning,” he told Israel's Channel 12. “We need change — Netanyahu cannot continue to be prime minister. We cannot allow ourselves to conduct a prolonged campaign with a prime minister that the public has no faith in,” Lapid added.
Lapid proposed creating a "national reconstruction government" led by Netanyahu's Likud party but said the Prime Minister must be replaced.

Information, photos about Hamas hostages found on laptop inside hospital: IDF
Israeli Defense Forces uncovered information about hostages taken by Hamas on a laptop found inside the Al-Shifa Hospital on Thursday.
Israel says the laptop had photos and videos taken of hostages after the Oct. 7th massacre in Israel. Israeli forces say evidence indicates Hamas was using Al-Shifa Hospital as a base of operations “within the last few days."
“At the end of the day, this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told the BBC. “Hamas aren’t here because they saw we were coming. This is probably what they were forced to leave behind. Our assessment is that there’s much more.”
Fox News' foreign correspondent Trey Yings and cameraman Yaniv Turgeman visited the hospital with Israeli special forces early Thursday.
Israel says Hamas took some 239 hostages on Oct. 7, though the U.S. has said there is no way to know how many of those are still alive. Posted by Anders Hagstrom

Public Opinion on the Israel-Hamas War Is Changing, New Survey Finds Leah Barkoukis 2–3 minutes
A new survey found Americans have become less supportive of the Biden administration’s position on the Israel-Hamas war.
According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll published Wednesday, a majority of respondents, 68 percent, now support a ceasefire in the conflict that’s reaching its sixth week.
Thirty-two percent said “the U.S. should support Israel,” which is down from the 41 percent who said the same last month in the Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Oct. 12-13.
The share saying "the U.S. should be a neutral mediator" rose to 39% in the new poll from 27% a month earlier. Four percent of respondents in the poll said the U.S. should support Palestinians and 15% said the U.S. shouldn't be involved at all, both similar readings to a month ago. […]
In a potentially worrisome sign for Israel, just 31% of poll respondents said they supported sending Israel weapons, while 43% opposed the idea. The rest said they were unsure. Support for sending Israel weapons was strongest among Republicans, while roughly half of Democrats were opposed.
By comparison, 41% of people answering the poll said they backed sending weapons to Ukraine in its fight against a nearly 21-month-old Russian invasion, compared to 32% who were opposed and the rest unsure. When it came to Ukraine, support for sending weapons was stronger among Democrats. (Reuters)
I have to say, maybe it's just that he's up for reelection, but Biden has been a pretty steadfast supporter of Israel, even though his party isn't.
The stuff the Mossad has on him and his family must be devastating.

Hamas terrorist who paraded Shani Louk’s body has been killed by IDF and is ‘roasting in hell forever,’ rabbi says By Social Links for Yaron Steinbuch Published Nov. 16, 2023, 11:00 a.m. ET
The Hamas terrorist who spat on and paraded the naked body of fun-loving tattoo artist Shani Louk through Gaza has been killed by Israeli forces, according to a rabbi who said the “monster is now roasting in hell forever.”
The 22-year-old German-Israeli woman’s mother told a top rabbi that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had killed the terrorist who defiled her daughter, who became the face of the Oct. 7 massacre.
Ricarda Louk revealed “in her public conversation with me that the Hamas terrorist monster who parades her naked body around Gaza, defiling her in the name of Islam, and screaming Allahu Akbar, was killed by the IDF,” Rabbi Shmuley Boteach wrote on X.
“That monster is now roasting in hell forever as will the other Hamas savages who perpetrated this massacre,” added the TV host and author who has been dubbed “America’s most famous rabbi.”
In a separate post, he wrote that Louk “was actually murdered after being tortured, and who knows what else.

Inside al-Shifa Hospital
IDF Lt. Col. (reserve) Jonathan Conricus is the spokesman who has become one of our favorites in Israel’s current war on Hamas. Conricus arrived on the scene at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City a few hours ago to document the ocular proof demanded by the AP of the Hamas way of war. The video seems almost to be addressed to the Hamasniks inside the AP.
Hamas must have abandoned the hospital in a hurry. The video documents the guns, ammo, laptop, and other terrorist paraphernalia left behind — left behind the MRIs in the radiology wing of the hospital.
Students of cinema may observe the use of the tracking shot to film this video. Think Orson Welles in Touch of Evil. Think Martin Scorsese in Goodfellas. The IDF has done a good job with this video. Let’s look forward to the sequel.

Insight: Iran's 'Axis of Resistance' against Israel faces trial by fire
Reuters By Parisa Hafezi, Laila Bassam and Arshad Mohammed 11/15/2023
DUBAI, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Iran's supreme leader delivered a clear message to the head of Hamas when they met in Tehran in early November, according to three senior officials: You gave us no warning of your Oct. 7 attack on Israel and we will not enter the war on your behalf.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Ismail Haniyeh that Iran - a longtime backer of Hamas - would continue to lend the group its political and moral support, but wouldn't intervene directly, said the Iranian and Hamas officials with knowledge of the discussions who asked to remain anonymous to speak freely.
The supreme leader pressed Haniyeh to silence those voices in the Palestinian group publicly calling for Iran and its powerful Lebanese ally Hezbollah to join the battle against Israel in full force, a Hamas official told Reuters.
Hamas didn't respond to questions sent by Reuters before the publication of this report. After publication, the group posted a statement on Telegram saying it denied the validity of the report, which it described as "baseless". The post didn't specify what was inaccurate, and Hamas didn't immediately respond to a request for clarification.
Iran's foreign ministry didn't respond to a request for comment about the meeting, which both Tehran and Hamas announced publicly, and the country's response to the crisis. Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, have said publicly several times that they don't want the Israel-Hamas war to spread across the region.
The unfolding crisis marks the first time that the so-called Axis of Resistance - a military alliance built by Iran over four decades to oppose Israeli and American power in the Middle East - has mobilised on multiple fronts at the same time.
Hezbollah has engaged in the heaviest clashes with Israel for almost 20 years. Iran-backed militias have targeted U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria. Yemen's Houthis have launched missiles and drones at Israel.
The conflict is also testing the limits of the regional coalition whose members - which include the Syrian government, Hezbollah, Hamas and other militant groups from Iraq to Yemen - have differing priorities and domestic challenges.
Three sources close to Hezbollah said the Lebanese group was also taken by surprise by Hamas' devastating assault last month that killed 1,200 Israelis. They said its fighters were not even on alert in villages near the border that were frontlines in its 2006 war with Israel, and had to be rapidly called up.
"We woke up to a war," said a Hezbollah commander.
Mohanad Hage Ali, an expert on Hezbollah at the Carnegie Middle East Center think-tank in Beirut, said Hamas' Oct. 7 assault on Israel had left its axis partners facing tough choices in confronting an adversary with far superior firepower.
"When you wake up the bear with such an attack, it's quite difficult for your allies to stand in the same position as you."

November 17, 2023 Poll shows that 75% of Palestinians support the October 7 terror attack By Monica Showalter
In the wake of Hamas's October 7 terror attack on Israeli civilians, with its mass rapes, murders, kidnappings, and other atrocities, it would seem pretty natural to think that the "ordinary" Palestinians would turn against Hamas, which is as evil an organization as ISIS. Hamas members even admit it.
Bzzt! Wrong.
The specter of Jewish bloodshed seems to have strengthened their support for Hamas.
According to the Elder of Ziyon blog:
A new poll from AWRAD, Arab World for Research and Development, shows that the vast majority of Palestinians support the October 7 pogrom. 75% of all Palestinians supported the massacre while only 12.7% opposed it.

That poll is yet another indication the two state solution is a dangerous fantasy. The only long-term answer is to relocate the arabs from the West Bank and Gaza to other arab states. It would give the younger Palestinians a chance to live a (comparatively) normal life, and relax the police state that is modern day Israel.

Pro-Palestinian group posts NYC map of locations 'tied' to 'Genocide' in Gaza
A pro-Palestinian group posted a picture of multiple locations around New York City it alleges are associated with the "genocide" in Gaza.
The group, Within Our Lifetime, posted the map which was later deleted, with a headline of "From Palestine to NYC. Globalize the Intifada," according to the New York Post. The map stated that the locations were considered zones "of direct action."
"Each of the sites on this map is tied to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the settler-colonization of Palestine. They reflect a network of dispossession, policing, prisons, surveillance, counterinsurgency, war, destruction, imperialism and militarization across the globe, with the mass media complex which manufactures consent for genocide acting as tools of the oppressor. These sites are also multi-purpose assets for some of the system's most powerful perpetrators of violence. May this map serve as a call for every struggle to act in their own interest. As we do so, we uplift one another's struggles and free Palestine from the river to the sea," the map reads.
Among the locations on the map are NBC News Studios, Fox Corp., where Fox News and the New York Post are located, New York Times, Defense Logistics Agency, Meta, and more.
The group describes itself as a "Palestinian-led community organization" with 121,000 followers on Instagram.

Sacha Baron Cohen blasts TikTok for creating 'the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis'
Actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohen blasted social media platform TikTok for “creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis,” according to The New York Times.
More than a dozen Jewish celebrities and content creators, including Cohen, Debra Messing and Amy Schumer, participated in a 90 minute with TikTok’s head of operations, Adam Presser, and global head of user operations, Seth Melnick.
“What is happening at TikTok is it is creating the biggest antisemitic movement since the Nazis,” Cohen told the platform’s representatives during the meeting, of which the Times obtained a recording.
“If you think back to Oct. 7, the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate,” Cohen said, accusing TikTok of allowing young people access to similarly explosive content.
“Shame on you,” he said, arguing that TikTok could “flip a switch” to fix the issue. Cohen claimed that social media could do more to combat the rising and rampant antisemitism, and the representatives, who are themselves Jewish, agreed.
“Obviously, a lot of what Sascha says, there’s truth to that,” Presser said, noting, however, that there is no “magic button” to deal with all of the concerns raised.
The platform has come under increased scrutiny after several users started urging their peers to read Usama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America,” which he used to justify his attack on Sept. 11, 2001.
TikTok said it has “proactively and aggressively” worked to remove any content promoting the letter and “investigating how it got onto our platform.” Posted by Peter Aitken

Israeli farmer’s heroic mission to rescue over 100 people from Hamas massacre caught on astonishing dashcam video By Social Links for Yaron Steinbuch Published Nov. 17, 2023, 8:15 a.m. ET
Astonishing, newly emerged video captured an Israeli farmer’s heroic rescue of some 120 people from the Hamas rampage at a music festival — as he drove back and forth through body-littered roads while under fire from terrorists.
Oz Davidian, who lives in Maslul, made about 20 trips in his truck to save as many survivors as possible from the Supernova festival, where about 260 people were slaughtered Oct. 7, the Times of Israel reported.
Dashcam footage published by Channel 13 shows Davidian speeding past wrecked vehicles and bodies along the roughly 10-mile route between Kibbutz Re’im, Maslul and neighboring Partish as he took a different route each time.
“Terrorists! Watch out!” he yells to his passengers at one point.
Davidian recounted a terrifying encounter he had along the way when he saw two people next to the body of an IDF soldier and he mistook them for Israelis.

The Guardian 6h ago 19.05 EST
Summary of the day so far It’s just past 2am in Gaza City and Tel Aviv. Here’s a recap of the latest developments:
At least 12,000 Palestinians, including 5,000 children, have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since 7 October, according to Hamas officials on Friday.
Israeli troops will advance to anywhere Hamas exists, including the southern part of the Gaza Strip, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari has said. It comes amid mounting concerns about Israeli plans to expand military operations in parts of the south where people have sought refuge from fighting. Civilians in parts of south-east Gaza have been told in leaflets dropped by Israeli aircraft to move into a smaller “safe zone” in the coastal town of Mawasi, which covers just 14 sq km (5.4 sq miles), prompting warnings from the heads of 18 UN agencies and international aid groups.
Israel’s national security adviser has said the country’s war cabinet had agreed to allow two tanker trucks of fuel to enter the Gaza Strip each day – a quantity he described as “very minimal”. Tzachi Hanegbi said the fuel would be allowed for Gaza’s communications system and water and sewage services. An Israeli official later said there would be “no limitation” on aid requested for Gaza by the UN, an apparent concession to international pressure and warnings that its iron grip on the war-torn Palestinian territory will lead to starvation and disease.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said it has been trying to evacuate some of its staff and their families currently trapped inside the organisation’s facilities near al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. Since last Saturday, MSF staff and families – 137 people, 65 of them children – have not been able to go outside because of ongoing fighting, it said.
Gaza’s main telecommunications companies Paltel and Jawwal have confirmed the “partial restoration” of telecom services in various parts of Gaza. The partial restoration comes after a limited quantity of fuel was provided through the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), they said.
A UN human rights official has urged Israel to stop using water as a “weapon of war” and allow clean water and fuel into Gaza to restart the water supply network. Pedro Arrojo-Agudo, UN special rapporteur on water and sanitation, reminded Israel that consciously preventing supplies of safe water from entering Gaza “violates both international humanitarian and human rights law”. The UN has warned that Gaza’s civilians face the “immediate possibility” of starvation, and that overcrowding and lack of clean water are speeding the spread of diseases as winter approaches.
At least five Palestinians were killed and two others injured in a blast at a building in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service said early on Saturday. Meanwhile, Israeli security forces mounted a major hours-long raid in the city of Jenin beginning on Thursday night, destroying roads and killing between three and five Hamas militants in the latest instance of surging violence across the occupied West Bank. Hamas said three of its fighters had died in the raid. Israeli military officials said their forces had killed at least five militants.
An Israeli police investigation into the Hamas attacks at a music festival on 7 October has updated the death toll to 364, according to Israeli media reports. Earlier counts had placed the death count from the attack at Supernova music festival in Kibbutz Re’im at 270.
The Israeli military has said it has retrieved the body of a soldier, Noa Marciano, who had been held captive by Hamas in a building near Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital. It comes after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday they had found the body of Yehudit Weiss, one of about 240 hostages taken on 7 October, in a building near the hospital.
Bahrain’s crown prince says a “hostage trade” between Hamas and Israel could achieve a break in hostilities he believes might end the conflict in Gaza. Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa also said security in the region would not realised without a two-state solution, in which he described the US as “indispensable” in achieving.
The deputy head of Israel’s legislature has criticised the decision to allow a limited amount of fuel into Gaza for humanitarian needs. Nissim Vaturi, deputy speaker of the Knesset and a member of the ruling Likud party, said Israel is being “too humane” and that it should “burn Gaza now”.
Five countries have submitted a referral to the international criminal court (ICC) for an investigation of “the situation in the state of Palestine”, ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan said. Khan confirmed his office was already conducting an investigation into the situation in the state of Palestine which began in March 2021.
The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis will meet next week with relatives of hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza. The pope will separately meet with a delegation of Palestinians with family members in Gaza, Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni said.

PRCS: Several killed in strike on West Bank refugee camp Reuters
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Several people were killed and at least two more injured in a strike on a building in the occupied West Bank, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said early on Saturday, local time.
The Israeli military did not immediately provide comment on the incident at Balata refugee camp, in the central city of Nablus.
The PRCS earlier said its medics were dealing with several serious injuries from the blast.
NBC News could not independently confirm the details of the incident.
The West Bank, part of territory Israel captured in the 1967 Middle East war, has seen a sharp surge in violence since the deadly attack on southern Israel by Hamas gunmen from Gaza last month.

Situation in Gaza is 'intolerable,' Bahrain's crown prince says as he calls for a two-state solution Ian Sherwood
MANAMA, Bahrain — Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa condemned both Hamas and Israel in a hard-hitting speech, calling for a two-state solution once the war was over.
Speaking at the IISS Manama Dialogue, a security summit in his home country, Al Khalifa said the situation in Gaza was “intolerable and we must do everything in our power to stop it.”
“Let me be extremely clear, what matters is that there must be no forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza,” he said, adding that “there must be no terrorism directly from Gaza against Israel.”
“Those are the red lines,” he said, adding that the U.S. and other world powers should help to find a two-state solution, which “must be a center of any post-crisis government in the immediate aftermath of the war.”

The Guardian Updates From 11m ago 01.41 EST
Israel reiterates warning to leave Khan Younis
Israel issued a fresh warning to Palestinians in the southern city of Khan Younis to move out of the line of fire and closer to humanitarian aid, in the latest indication that it plans to attack Hamas in south Gaza after subduing the north, Reuters reports.
“We’re asking people to relocate. I know it’s not easy for many of them, but we don’t want to see civilians caught up in the crossfire,” Mark Regev, an aide to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told MSNBC on Friday.
Such a move could compel hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who fled south from the Israeli assault on Gaza City to relocate again, along with residents of Khan Younis, a city of more than 400,000, worsening a dire humanitarian crisis.
Israel dropped leaflets over Khan Younis telling people to evacuate to shelters, suggesting military operations there were imminent.
Regev said Israeli troops would have to advance into the city to oust Hamas fighters from underground tunnels and bunkers but that no such “enormous infrastructure” exists in less built-up areas to the west.
“I’m pretty sure that they won’t have to move again” if they moved west, he said, referring to people in the area.
We’re asking them to move to an area where hopefully there will be tents and a field hospital.
Because the western areas are closer to the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, humanitarian aid could be brought in “as quickly as possible”, Regev said.

Israeli military to continue humanitarian pauses in northern Gaza so Palestinians can evacuate
The Israel Defense Forces said Saturday that humanitarian pauses will continue in the northern Gaza Strip to allow residents to evacuate south.
IDF Arabic-language spokesman Lt. Col Avichay Adraee posted on X that the Salah a-Din road will be open for southbound movement until 4 p.m. local time.
“We urge you to evacuate urgently because it is dangerous for you to remain there,” he wrote.
Earlier Saturday, the IDF said it acceded to a request from the director of Al-Shifa Hospital – where Israel alleges Hamas has an underground military base – to enable Gazans who were in the hospital and would like to evacuate south to do so.
"At no point, did the IDF order the evacuation of patients or medical teams and in fact proposed that any request for medical evacuation will be facilitated by the IDF," the military said.
Medical personnel will remain at the hospital to assist patients who are unable to evacuate, IDF added.
The military said it delivered additional food, water and humanitarian assistance to the hospital overnight Friday. Posted by Chris Pandolfo Fox News

The Israel Defense Forces on Saturday announced expanded military operations to wipe out Hamas terrorists in two areas of Gaza City.
The IDF said soldiers operating in the Zaytun and Jabalia areas encountered "numerous terrorists" as Israel targets Hamas infrastructure in the city.
According to Israel, one of Hamas' main battalions operates in Zaytun, while Jabalia is where the terrorist group's "command and control center for the Northern Gaza Brigade" is located. IDF said that four Hamas battalions operate in Jabalia.
"Engineering forces, infantry, and armored corps of the divisions, assisted by the [Israeli air force], are encountering terrorists who intentionally operate from within civilian areas, and attempt to attack the troops using anti-tank missiles and explosive devices," the IDF said.
"During the encounters, numerous terrorists were killed and the troops struck a large number of terror infrastructures, including underground infrastructure and significant targets of the terrorist organization," it added.
The IDF released video showing soldiers exchanging fire with terrorists in Zaytun. Posted by Chris Pandolfo

Hoodat... How much of his own money did the multi-millionaire donate to the Hamas government's subjects?
I doubt he gave up a dime of his own money. But who knows? I know the Democommies want to give up hundreds of millions if not billions for Gaza in aid. Knowing these wankers, they are already planning to rebuild Gaza. I say leave it in ruins like the Russians left East Berlin.
I was 16 years old, traveled to Berlin in 1970, and stood on a platform looking at East Berlin. I was shocked to see the ruins from 1945 left standing. No pun intended, but buildings with 10-20% left standing, the rest in rubble on the ground. If Israel does anything different, they are foolish and inviting future attacks. I say completely destroy all of Gaza, and make it a permanent statement of what happens when you attack Israel. It is called vanquishing the enemy, destroying the enemy, and Israel has every right to kill every last one of them.
You think the USA or Britain gave one moments consideration for the civilians in Germany and Japan? We fire bombed 60 Japanese cities, killing 100,000 in Tokyo in one night. Dresden death toll ranges from 25,000 to 100,000, depending on the source. These were attacks on the civilian population. How we ever got to a point where a nation attacked as Israel was is expected to NOT KILL CIVILIANS is insane. Literally insane.

Arab forces will not go to Gaza, says Jordanian minister in rebuke of Israel The Guardian, Nov 18, 2023
Jordan’s foreign minister has said Arab troops will not go to Gaza as he delivered a blistering criticism of Israel’s war on Hamas.
Ayman Safadi clashed with Joe Biden’s senior Middle East adviser on Saturday, saying a humanitarian pause should not be conditional on the release of hostages held by Hamas. The US envoy, Brett McGurk, said the onus was on Hamas to release hostages as a pathway to humanitarian aid increasing and a pause in the fighting.
The pair were addressing the IISS Manama Dialogue security summit in Bahrain, where Arab anger towards Israel’s refusal to negotiate a two-state solution was repeatedly voiced.
Speaker after speaker advised Israel that it would not find security through force.
At the same event, the EU foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, indicated he believed Israel could face charges at the international criminal court, adding: “One horror does not justify another.”
Safadi, in a no-holds-barred attack on Israel and the cover being provided by the US, said faith in peaceful negotiation and international law was being destroyed by the west’s refusal to rein in Israel.
The credibility of international law had fallen victim to its selective application, he said. “If any other country in the world did a fragment of what Israel did, it would have sanctions imposed on it from every corner of the world.”
He said even those who accepted Israel was acting in self-defence “keep telling Israel to act within international law. It is not, so where do we go from here? Keep telling them to do it? They keep refusing to do it. People are being killed day in and day out.”
He said: “International law has to apply to all. The message seems to be that Israel can do whatever it wants. That is what the world is seeing, [that] Israel is above the law.”

Israel says it will increase military offensive in southern Gaza Apartment block bombed, killing 26, in area civilians were urged to flee to for their safety The Guardian, Nov 18, 2023
[...]
When Israeli planes hit northern Gaza at the start of the war, and troops prepared to move in on foot, Israeli messages urged civilians to move south of the Wadi Gaza wetlands for their own safety.
Despite risks on the journey, and severe overcrowding in shelters and private homes, hundreds of thousands followed those orders. About 1.6 million people are displaced, more than two-thirds of Gaza’s population, the UN said.
They found only relative safety there. Forty days into the war, 3,676 people had been killed in southern areas that Israel had declared safer. They accounted for a third of all Palestinian deaths in the conflict, according to a UN map using figures from Gazan health authorities.
Now many of those people have been told to move again, and cram into an even smaller area along the coast, around the town of Mawasi.
"They asked us, the citizens of Gaza, to go to the south. We went to the south. Now they are asking us to leave. Where do we go?” Atya Abu Jab told Reuters, outside the tent where his family who fled Gaza City now live, one of a long row of makeshift homes.
On Saturday morning, bombs hit a multi-storey block in Hamad City, a middle-class housing development in Khan Younis, killing 26 people and injuring 23 more. A few miles north, six Palestinians were killed in an attack on a house in Deir Al-Balah town.
Israel’s chief military spokesperson, Rear Adm Daniel Hagari, said on Friday that the country’s troops would attack “wherever Hamas exists, including in the south of the strip”. He told journalists: “We are determined to advance our operation”.
This week Netanyahu admitted in an interview that the war was taking a heavy toll on civilians in Gaza, but blamed Hamas for the deaths. “That’s what we’re trying to do: minimal civilian casualties. But unfortunately, we’re not successful,” he told CBS.
"There will probably be more civilian casualties,” Giora Eiland, a former head of Israel’s national security council, told Reuters. “It is not going to deter us or prevent us from moving forward.”

Israel’s military struck an aluminum factory located in southern Lebanon around 4 a.m. local time on Saturday, Lebanese state media said.
The factory was in Nabatieh, close to the border with Israel, the National News Agency reported. It’s the first time the region’s been attacked by Israel since its 2006 war with Hezbollah, according to NNA.
Earlier, Hezbollah, a Lebanese-based militant group backed by Iran, said it downed an Israeli drone. It also said its fighters attacked Israeli soldiers gathering near the Lebanon-Israel border.

Germany's Scholz criticises Israel's settlements in occupied West Bank Reuters, Nov 18, 2023
BERLIN, Nov 18 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticised Israel's settlement policy in the occupied West Bank on Saturday and repeated calls for a two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinians.
"We don't want any new settlements in the West Bank, no violence by settlers against the Palestinians in the West Bank," Scholz said during a visit to Nuthetal in Brandenburg state.
The best outcome for Israelis and Palestinians remains the two-state solution, he said.
"If some in Israeli politics distance themselves from this, we will not support them," Scholz said.
Scholz also emphasised the importance of German humanitarian aid for the Palestinians.
Germany is not only on Israel's side, but together with the U.S., it is the largest donor of humanitarian aid for the Palestinians, the chancellor said.
"It is not the states in the neighbourhood, although some are very rich," he said in reference to Arab countries. "We are the ones who make it possible for schools and hospitals to be run there," he said regarding the Palestinian territories.

Netanyahu, Gallant say all Hamas members, even outside Gaza, are ‘dead men’ Today, 9:25 pm

Gallant adds that there is “no difference between a terrorist with a Kalashnikov and a terrorist in a three-piece suit,” in what appears to be a reference to Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, who is believed to be based in Qatar.

Israeli police say extreme sexual violence, rape by Hamas terrorists was systematic The Civil Commission on October 7th Crimes by Hamas Against Women is working to compile a database of gender-based atrocities By Ruth Marks Eglash Fox News Published November 18, 2023 12:00pm EST
Warning: This article includes graphic and disturbing accounts from the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel.
JERUSALEM — The first suggestion that Hamas terrorists committed acts of extreme sexual violence and rape against victims during their Oct. 7 rampage through southern Israel came on social media early on that fateful Saturday morning six weeks ago.
Two short videos, shared by the terrorists themselves, quickly emerged showing groups of cheering Palestinian men, some armed, in the streets of Gaza crowding around half-naked and bloodied young Israeli women.
In one clip, a woman later identified as German-Israeli citizen Shani Louk, 22, can be seen barely clothed lying unconscious in an unnatural position on the flatbed of a pickup as men spit and abuse her body while screaming "Allahu Akhbar."
In another video, 19-year-old Israeli soldier Na’ama Levy is pulled from the back of a jeep by an armed gunman, her hands bound behind her back and thick blood stains between her legs, as Palestinian men jeer at her.

Yet IMO, he's a realist. If they are rescued? Great.
But more likely, they are already dead in quantities that would turn the world against Hamas ...AGAIN.

Biden said that a Palestinian state alongside Israel was the "only way to ensure the long-term security" in the region.
President Biden also threatened to issue visa bans on "extremists" perpetrating violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Biden also called on the international community to provide "interim security measures," in Gaza after the war and to devote resources to rebuilding the region.
President Biden also said a "revitalized Palestinian Authority" should govern Gaza post-war, in direct contrast with Netanyahu who says the organization is not fit to govern.
Biden also rejected calls for a cease-fire saying that it would only provide Hamas with opportunity to "rebuild their stockpile of rockets," and that a cease-fire would not bring peace for as long as Hamas "clings to its ideology of destruction."

President Joe Biden says the United States is "prepared to take our own steps" to combat alleged attacks by Israelis on civilians in the West Bank.
Biden, in an opinion piece for the Washington Post, outlined his framework for what must be done in the wars in Ukraine and Israel. While discussing the solution for the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, he urged a two-state solution with the Palestinian Authority controlling both Gaza and the West Bank.
"As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution," Biden wrote.
The president also called out Israeli settlers who have reportedly attacked Palestinians in the West Bank since the war in Gaza began, threatening visa bans against the "extremists attacking civilians."
"I have been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop and that those committing the violence must be held accountable. The United States is prepared to take our own steps, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank," Biden wrote.

2 hours ago Israel, Hamas reach tentative deal to free hostages, pause conflict in deal brokered by US By Nikki Mascali Roarty
A tentative US-brokered deal between Israel and Hamas could free several women and children being held hostage in Gaza — and lead to a five-day halt in fighting, the first since the war began six weeks ago, according to a report from the Washington Post.
Dozens of women and children could be freed in the next several days, which would coincide with the first pause since Hamas’ shocking Oct. 7 attack on Israel, sources familiar with the deal told the Washington Post Saturday night.

"We have not reached a deal yet, but we continue to work hard to get to a deal," Adrienne Watson, the White House National Security Council Spokesperson, said in a post on X Saturday night.
The initial report, citing a "detailed, six-page agreement," said fighting would pause for five days as the initial 50 hostages were released in small groups.
The Washington Post report also said humanitarian aid would enter Gaza through Egypt during the pause in fighting.

An early Saturday morning airstrike in Khan Younis, a residential district in southern Gaza, killed 26 Palestinians and wounded 23 more, according to Reuters.
Continued Israeli attacks in the south, particularly Khan Younis, which has a population of 400,000, could displace more Palestinians, hundreds of thousands of whom fled Gaza City in the north, the report said.
Senior Israeli sources told Reuters an offensive in the southern region could prove more complex and cause more bloodshed, with Hamas having a stronger foothold in the Khan Younis area.
"All of them were martyred. They had nothing to do with the (Hamas) resistance," Eyad Al-Zaeem, who lost his aunt, her children, and her grandchildren in the attack, said to the outlet.

Biden orders top aides to prepare reprimands for violent Israeli settlers in West Bank
President Joe Biden directed top officials to prepare visa bans and sanctions for extremist Israeli settlers attacking and displacing Palestinians in the West Bank, according to an internal document read to POLITICO.
The Cabinet memo, sent to senior aides like Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday, orders their agencies “to develop policy options for expeditious action against those responsible for the conduct of violence in the West Bank.”
A senior U.S. official read sections of the memo to POLITICO on Saturday evening shortly after Biden published an op-ed in The Washington Post revealing his intentions for such a move. “The United States is prepared to take our own steps, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank,” he wrote in the op-ed.
The directive comes as the Biden administration aims to show that it’s supporting Palestinian civilians in need, even as it staunchly defends Israel’s retaliation against Hamas, and while members of the president’s party seek conditions on military aid to Washington’s ally.
The targets for reprimands are broadly defined in the memo. They include people or entities that “have directly or indirectly engaged in actions or policies that threaten the security or stability of the West Bank,” take “actions that intimidate civilians in the West Bank with the purpose or effect of forcing displacement actions in the West Bank,” or make moves “that constitute human rights abuses or violations and actions that significantly obstruct, disrupt or prevent efforts to achieve a two-state solution.”
The memo notes that Biden sees the settler-violence issue as a “serious threat” to peace among Israelis and Palestinians and destabilizing throughout the Middle East.
The decision to issue the directive came after intense debate on the topic, with national security adviser Jake Sullivan and deputy Jon Finer offering their direct input during a dedicated internal process, the official said.
EXCERPT

Female hostage dragged through Gaza is peace activist dedicated to Israeli-Palestinian dialogue
It is hard to forget the footage of 19-year-old Naama Levy being manhandled into a jeep in Gaza, her hands tied behind her back and her grey tracksuit covered in blood on the bottom.
The footage showed men with guns and Naama being dragged from the boot of the car to the passenger seat while others looked on and celebrated.
The teenager is just one of the many hostages who were ripped from their homes on October 7.
In a bitter twist, it has been revealed Naama was a peace activist dedicated to promoting values of mutual understanding between Israelis, and Palestinians.
She was a participant in the "Hands of Peace" project in the USA, where young Americans, Israelis, and Palestinians meet in the pursuit of peace as "a lever for global social change." . . .

This simply doesn't happen. Anyone witnessing an Israeli West Bank settlement can see clearly that the settlement was build from scratch in an area where no one lived. They aren't displacing anyone. You can stand on a hill near Jerusalem and look out on a vast expanse of blinding wasteland. And far off, there will be a tiny patch of green. That is an Israeli settlement, built up from nothing. No one got displaced from that spot because no one was there in the first place. This is THE biggest lie perpetrated by Western media since the Uncle Joe days of the 1930s and 40s.

White House shoots down WaPo report of Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal November 19, 2023 | Melissa Fine
The Washington Post claimed on Saturday that the U.S. has brokered a deal between Israel and Hamas to hit pause on the fighting for five days to “free women and children hostages,” but according to the National Security Council, WaPo’s headline is fake news.
“We have not reached a deal yet,” National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson wrote on X, “but we continue to work hard to get to a deal.”

Analysis / Gaza War, Phase 1: IDF vs. Hamas & Hezbollah
November 19, 2023
Six weeks into the Gaza war, the IDF’s performance has been mostly remarkable. Despite initial doubts, Israeli forces have shown that they are fully capable of mounting large-scale military operations with precision and speed.
The integration of advanced technologies and ability to coordinate different branches of the military stand out in particular.
So far, stopping the IDF advance has proven to be a very difficult task. Faced with Israel’s modern and well-equipped army, Hamas defense lines have crumbled quickly.
Overall, the performance of Israeli forces spells bad news for Gaza’s terror chiefs, and also for Hezbollah.

Deputy National Security Adviser John Finer made the statement during a Sunday morning appearance on ABC's 'This Week.' He said hostage negotiations between the U.S., Israel, Qatar and Hamas were ongoing and extremely sensitive.
Finer said that while the U.S. could not confirm the condition of the hostages, at least a large majority of them are still believed to be alive.
"The United States government does not speak directly with them.

White House responds to Pentagon doubts over Biden's actions to 'deter' Iran
The White House National Security Council pushed back on reports of division within the Defense Department of President Biden's efforts to deter Iran from widening Israel's war against Hamas on Sunday.
The Washington Post reported on grumblings at the Pentagon over the appearent ineffectiveness of U.S. policy toward Iran. Iran's proxy terrorist groups have attacked U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria roughly 60 times since October 17, leading many to question what exactly Biden is deterring.
“There’s no clear definition of what we are trying to deter,” one defense official told the Post. “Are we trying to deter future Iranian attacks like this? Well, that’s clearly not working.”
Watson responded in a Sunday statement, arguing that Biden has taken significant actions to deter Iran from joining the war in Israel.
"President Biden has shown he will never hesitate to take action to protect U.S. forces. He has directed the U.S. military to conduct precision air strikes in response to recent attacks against U.S. forces who are in Iraq and Syria to help defeat ISIS, and he is fully prepared to take further measures as needed at any given moment to protect our people," she said.

That would be good news if true. This report below came out a day earlier:
US Marine rapid response force moves toward eastern Mediterranean, sources say
Oren Liebermann | 4:24 p.m. ET, October 29, 2023
A US Marine rapid response force is moving toward the eastern Mediterranean Sea, according to two officials — amid concerns over the war in Gaza broadening into a regional conflict.
The 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, aboard the USS Bataan amphibious assault ship, was operating in the waters of the Middle East in recent weeks, but it began making its way toward the Suez Canal late last week, the officials said.
The Bataan is currently in the Red Sea and is expected to pass into the eastern Mediterranean soon, one official said.
The move will place the Marine unit closer to Lebanon and Israel as the US is warning citizens to leave Lebanon. One of the typical roles of a Marine Expeditionary Unit is to help civilians evacuate. . .
. . . On Tuesday, the White House said it would be “imprudent and irresponsible” not to plan for a possible evacuation of American citizens from the Middle East, including Israel and Lebanon.
This simply doesn't happen. Anyone witnessing an Israeli West Bank settlement can see clearly that the settlement was build from scratch in an area where no one lived. They aren't displacing anyone. You can stand on a hill near Jerusalem and look out on a vast expanse of blinding wasteland. And far off, there will be a tiny patch of green. That is an Israeli settlement, built up from nothing. No one got displaced from that spot because no one was there in the first place. This is THE biggest lie perpetrated by Western media since the Uncle Joe days of the 1930s and 40s.

24 minutes ago Palestinian Authority claims Israel attacked own civilians on October 7 to justify Gaza invasion By David Spector
The Palestinian Authority Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement accusing Israel of attacking its own civilians on October 7 to "justify its aggression against Gaza Strip," the Times of Israel reports.
The PA doubted the authenticity of images and video of the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7 and called on the UN and media outlets to examine claims made in Israeli media.
The PA's allegations are likely in reference to a report published by the Israeli news outlet Haaretz which claims an Israeli police helicopter may have killed some civilians when it responded to the massacre at the music festival near the Gaza border.
The Palestinian Authority's incendiary statement comes one day after President Joe Biden called for them to assume governmental responsibility for the Gaza Strip on the "day after" the war.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the Palestinian Authority's statement "unacceptable."
“Today, the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah said something utterly preposterous. It denied that it was Hamas that carried out the horrible massacre at the nature festival near Gaza,” Netanyahu said, calling their claims a "complete reversal of truth."

A Hamas spokesman is among more than 60 members of the militant organization detained by Israel in overnight raids across the West Bank, the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territory that is increasingly feeling the impact of the fighting in Gaza. . .
. . .Hassan Yousef, a leading Palestinian political figure who served as the official Hamas spokesperson in the West Bank, was detained in his home, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Club, an NGO representing Palestinian detainees.
“Occupation forces arrested Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Yousef from his home in Beitunia, as part of a wide-scale arrest campaign in the occupation (sic) West Bank,” the Palestinian Prisoners Club statement reads.
And who is Sheikh Hassan Yousef? According to Wiki:
Quote
Hassan Yousef (born 1955) is a co-founder of Hamas, an Islamist organization primarily active in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. He currently serves as one of their leaders in the West Bank.
He is considered a member of Hamas' extremist faction and refrains from any talk of rapprochement between Israelis and Palestinians. He is also considered one of the spiritual leaders of Hamas.

Hamas sees West Bank as battleground with new Israel gov't
Nidal Al-Mughrabi | January 18, 202310:10 AM EST
Gaza's ruling Hamas Islamists are building ties with militant groups in the West Bank, seeking to attract support beyond the enclave by backing Palestinians involved in near daily unrest that Israel's new hardline government has vowed to crush.
The initiative reflects a degree of caution on the part of Hamas, which is still rebuilding the enclave following a 2021 war and appears unwilling to pursue a head on confrontation from Gaza with the administration of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, analysts said.
The return of Netanyahu in an alliance with a clutch of religious and hard right parties avowedly in favour of settlement expansion has drawn fears of renewed confrontation with the Palestinians and in particular with Hamas, which has fought five wars with Israel since 2009.
New hardline ministers like Itamar Ben-Gvir, a settler from Hebron, will be in charge of police as national security minister, while Bezalel Smotrich, another far-right politician, will have wide control over policy in the West Bank.
But for Hamas, still rebuilding in Gaza after a costly 10-day war more than 18 months ago, the main battleground is likely to be in the towns and refugee camps of the West Bank, where its rival Fatah has faced increasing challenges from younger militant groups.
"We see that the prime mission that we are doing is to reinforce resistance in the West Bank and support it with what it needs to pursue its work and develop it," said Zakaria Abu Maamar, a member of Hamas's political office. . .

2 min(s) ago Netanyahu war cabinet stifles revolt from far right over sending Gazans fuel without hostage deal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly trying to quell an uprising from far-right members of his government over his concession to send about two trucks of fuel per day into Gaza before securing the release of hundreds of hostages still held by Hamas.
Nentanyhu, facing mounting pressure from President Biden and the West, reportedly agreed on Friday to send 60,000 liters of fuel, or about two trucks per day, into Gaza in order to prevent the sewer system from collapsing and deter further humanitarian crises, according to Politico. That represents just about 3.5% of the amount of fuel allowed into Gaza before the war.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a right-wing leader, has deemed allowing fuel into Gaza "a grave mistake." He argued Netanyahu's war cabinet, which consists of three people, including the prime minister himself, should be expanded so that all seven parties in the coalition government have a seat.
Without daily fuel deliveries, some argue the sewer system in Gaza would break down and risk the spread of infectious disease, endangering both civilians and Israeli troops. "If plague were to break out, we’d have to stop the war," National Security Council chairman Tzachi Hanegbi told reporters Friday.
But Itamar Ben Gvir, the minister overseeing Israel’s police, contended that "so long as our hostages don’t even get a visit from the Red Cross, there’s no sense in giving the enemy humanitarian gifts," according to Politico. Allowing fuel, Gvir said, "broadcasts weakness, gives oxygen to the enemy and allows [Hamas Gaza leader Yahya] Sinwar to sit comfortably in his air-conditioned bunker, watch the news and continue to manipulate Israeli society and the families of the abductees."

Actress Susan Sarandon has been slammed online after sharing a post claiming Israel attacked their own civilians on October 7.
"ISRAEL AND HAARETZ (Israeli media) have now confined [sic] that an ISRAELI HELICOPTER MURDERED ISRAELI CIVILIANS ON OCTOBER 7" the post read.
Haaretz recently published a report that claimed an Israeli police helicopter responding to the music festival massacre accidentally killed civilians, which has been disputed by the Israeli Police force.
The report has spread like wildfire in the anti-Israel conspiracy community, with some -- including the Palestinian Authority -- claiming it proves Israel orchestrated the attack against itself as a pretext for invading Gaza.
The post was written by Jackson Hinkle, a political commentator who has said everything he does is for "clout."
Ron Kampeas, a reporter for Jewish Telegraph Agency torched the actress writing on X ".@SusanSarandon retweeting a far right antisemite who is posting a lie is where we are."
The Atlantic's Yair Rosenberg also condemned Sarandon writing "Getting the vague impression that Susan "Hillary is just as bad as Trump" Sarandon just has terrible moral and political judgment. At some point, those who ally with her publicly can no longer pretend they don't know."

IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari released new details about the death of an Israeli hostage during a press conference on Sunday.
IDF servicemember Noa Marciano, 19, was abducted by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
"Noa was taken into Gaza alive, she was held hostage by Hamas in Gaza City next to the Shifa Hospital," Hagari said. "During ongoing combat, in the vicinity of where she was held captive, Noa’s Hamas captor was killed and Noa was injured."
Hagari said that Noah's injuries were "not life-threatening" and said that Hamas terrorists murdered her inside the Al-Shifa Hospital after she was wounded.
"Hamas terrorists took Noa into Shifa hospital where she was murdered quickly," he continued. "Hamas murdered Noa inside Shifa hospital. Our thoughts are with Noa’s family. We send our heartfelt condolences to Noa’s family. We did not reach Noa in time."
"This has only made the IDF more determined to do everything, everything in our power, to bring all our hostages home," Hagari added.

French President Emmanuel Macron called for an "immediate humanitarian truce leading to a ceasefire" in a post on X Sunday night.
The French leader stressed the seriousness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and said that France is "doing everything" possible to achieve an end in fighting.
"Regarding humanitarian flights, three rotations of an A400M aircraft have already been carried out to Al Arish in Egypt," Macron's statement explained. "Over 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid for civilian populations have been delivered."
"I have decided to charter a new aircraft from the Air Force that will transport over 10 tonnes of medical supplies early next week," the statement added. "It will include two mobile medical units to treat approximately 500 severely injured individuals each."
The politician also noted that France is willing to take care of a select number of children injured in Gaza.
"Regarding the injured or ill children in Gaza in need of urgent care, France is mobilizing all available means, especially air transport, so that they can receive treatment in France if it is useful and necessary," he said. "Arrangements are made to receive up to 50 patients in our hospitals." Posted by Andrea Vacchiano

French President Emmanuel Macron called for an "immediate humanitarian truce leading to a ceasefire" in a post on X Sunday night.
The French leader stressed the seriousness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and said that France is "doing everything" possible to achieve an end in fighting.
"Regarding humanitarian flights, three rotations of an A400M aircraft have already been carried out to Al Arish in Egypt," Macron's statement explained. "Over 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid for civilian populations have been delivered."
"I have decided to charter a new aircraft from the Air Force that will transport over 10 tonnes of medical supplies early next week," the statement added. "It will include two mobile medical units to treat approximately 500 severely injured individuals each."
The politician also noted that France is willing to take care of a select number of children injured in Gaza.
"Regarding the injured or ill children in Gaza in need of urgent care, France is mobilizing all available means, especially air transport, so that they can receive treatment in France if it is useful and necessary," he said. "Arrangements are made to receive up to 50 patients in our hospitals." Posted by Andrea Vacchiano

Top Netanyahu adviser says likelihood of Hamas hostage release deal 'has gone up'
Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, says the likelihood of reaching a deal with Hamas to release hostages "has gone up" in recent weeks.
Regev told 'Fox & Friends' that the past six weeks of fighting have been devastating for Hamas, and that the terrorist group "needs" a reprieve. He said Israel may be willing to pause fighting if Hamas releases a "signicant" number of hostages.
Regev and U.S. officials have warned that no deal has been hammered out yet, however. Israel says there remain nearly 240 hostages in Hamas custody, though the U.S. has cautioned it is impossible to know how many of those remain alive. Posted by Anders Hagstrom Fox News

"Hamas terrorists took Noa into Shifa hospital where she was murdered quickly," he continued.

The world needs to wake up to the genocidal mindset of islam.
After the ACT OF WAR by Gaza, Israel should focus on only one thing, and that is the complete and total destruction of Gaza, and announce it is a NO GO ZONE for the next 100 years. Anyone seen in the territory will be destroyed. The civilians need to find a new home, and I say the mussie states divide them up and take the genocidal maniacs.
End the notion of a two state solution, because the genocidal maniacs(Palestinians) want no part of a two state solution.

"We are praying, we're doing our best to bring them back home," Herzog responded. "We are demanding, we're calling out the international community to be as forceful as possible, also to point out to Iran and of course, all the brokers that are dealing with this, and demand immediate release of the hostages, definitely the women and children.
"And we hope and pray that there will be a positive outcome in the next few days."

Israeli president says they are negotiating with a ‘psychopath’ for hostage release
Israel and the U.S. are being forced to negotiate with a "psychopath" for the release of hostages by Hamas, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Monday.
Herzog made the statement during an appearance on Fox News, saying he could not confidently say that a hostage release deal is near due to Hamas' unreliability.
"Not much, really," Herzog said when asked whether he had new information about the negotiations. "We are all waiting, and we are dealing on the opposite side with a leadership of Hamas, lead by Yahya Sinwar, who is basically a psychopath in the way he operates."
"So nothing that you and I can say really changes the picture," he added before calling for the release of the children and women held hostage.

Social media trend shows progressive Western women trending toward Islam after Oct. 7 massacre
A growing number of young, progressive Western women are converting to Islam, citing the Israel-Hamas war as motivation for the conversion – and they're documenting their journey on social media.
Hoover Institution research fellow Ayaan Hirsi Ali issued a warning on the new trend during "America's Newsroom," arguing young women are "throwing away" their freedom with the decision.
"You are converting to throwing away your freedoms as a woman," Ali told Dana Perino on Monday. "Islamic scripture, Islamic law, Sharia law and Islamic practice is crystal clear about the position of women, and it's inferior to men. Your testimony is half that of a man. Your husband can beat you. You have absolutely no freedom."
"Everything is about your guardian having authority over you. First your male father, and then later on your male husband, and if those aren't even available, even your own male son has authority over you," she continued. "So if that's what they want to revert to, good luck with that."
The left-leaning women making the decision to convert have shared their religious diversion on TikTok, with many wearing the hijab, reading the Quran, attending pro-Palestinian protests and even learning Arabic as they accuse Israel of genocide.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the White House Monday that the US is working "hour by hour" to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
"I do not have an update for you on the hostage deal that we're trying to negotiate," he said. "But as you heard the deputy national security adviser [Jon Finer] said yesterday, we believe we're closer than we've ever been.
"So we're hopeful, but there's still work to be done," Kirby added. "Nothing is done until it's all done. So we're gonna keep working on this."

Kirby: 'We want to see the children and women get released' By Samuel Chamberlain
Near the end of his Q-and-A period, Kirby was asked to confirm whether negotiations were focused on releasing women and children held hostage by Hamas.
"I'd really rather not," he answered. "But obviously, as I said in my opening statement, we want to see --specifically, especially -- we want to see the children and women get released. Obviously that's a high focus for everybody. And of course, the Americans too, because we know there's at least one American toddler in that pool. But I think the less said the better as we get into the into the, what we hope is the end game here on negotiations. It's probably safer if I don't go into speculating."
"We're closer now than we've been before," Kirby repeated. "That's a good thing. But we don't want to do or say anything publicly that's going to jeopardize what we hope will be a positive result."

A "ceasefire" in the Gaza ground offensive doesn't mean Israel and West can't use covert ops and asymetrical warfare to deal with Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Islamic Jihad, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
A "ceasefire" gives the Iranians, Syrians, Quatari's, Turks, and the UN to smuggle more weapons and logistics support for the next Hamas offensive.

After chaotic delay, PM meets with families of hostages amid reports of imminent deal Times of Israel, Nov 20, 2023
As reports swirl that a deal may be in the offing, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his fellow war cabinet ministers met on Monday evening with the families of some 240 hostages being held by Hamas and other terror factions in the Gaza Strip since the October 7 atrocities across southern Israel.
The three-hour meeting was held at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, but initially devolved into chaotic scenes amid a dust-up with some of the families who were refused initial entry into the meeting.
The families said they provided a list of 107 representatives to the premier’s office ahead of time, but upon their arrival, many were told that there was not enough space in the auditorium that was reserved for the meeting for all of them to attend.
The families said they provided a list of 107 representatives to the premier’s office ahead of time, but upon their arrival, many were told that there was not enough space in the auditorium that was reserved for the meeting for all of them to attend.
Some of the families waited outside in the cold for more than an hour. All the representatives were eventually allowed to attend.
Several family members left in the middle of the meeting, fuming over what they said were mixed messages the government has given them regarding the goals of the war.
"A few days ago, we met with [war cabinet ministers Benny] Gantz and [Gadi] Eisenkot. We heard from them in an unmistakable way that the overarching goal of the war is the return of the hostages,” Udi Goren, whose cousin is Gaza hostage Tal Haimi, told reporters after coming out of the meeting.
However, he said Netanyahu told the hostages’ families that the goal of destroying Hamas is on equal footing with that of returning the hostages, which infuriated those present, who feel that their loved ones are being allowed to remain in Gaza for more time, as a result.
"What we’ve heard is that taking down Hamas and bringing the hostages [home] are … equally important,” Goren said. “This is incredibly disappointing because … we know that taking down Hamas, we keep hearing from them [it] is going to take months or years and it’s going to take a long time.”
The mother of Avinatan Or, 30, decried reports of a potential deal that would only release some of the hostages, namely women and children.
“What I said inside is that whoever agrees now to a partial deal is murdering my son. He will not see the light of day. There will not be a second time,” Ditza Or told the Ynet news site.
After the meeting, Netanyahu stressed his commitment to securing the release of the hostages, calling it “a sacred and supreme mission.”
“We will not let up until they are returned, and this is the responsibility of me and the war cabinet,” he said in a statement.

EU’s top diplomat: Establishment of Palestinian state is best guarantee for Israeli security Times of Israel, Nov 20, 2023(
BRUSSELS — EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says the establishment of a Palestinian state would be the best way of ensuring Israel’s security.
Borrell held a video meeting Monday with foreign ministers from the EU’s 27 countries after touring the Middle East for talks on Israel’s war with Hamas.
The EU’s top diplomat says that he has drawn “a fundamental political conclusion” from his discussions across the region.
"I think that the best guarantee for Israel’s security is the creation of a Palestinian state,” Borrell says in a written summary of the EU meeting.
Borrell has insisted Israel should not occupy Gaza after the current conflict ends and that control of the territory should be handed over to the Palestinian Authority.
“Despite the huge challenges, we have to advance our reflections on the stabilization of Gaza and the future Palestinian state,” he says.
In the short-term, Borrell says, after visiting a string of Arab states, that there is a “sense of urgency” over the desperate humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The UN Security Council resolution calling for immediate humanitarian pauses is a big step forward, but we must ensure its rapid implementation,” the EU official says.
Another major fear is the possibility of the conflict further enflaming volatile situation in the West Bank and dragging in other actors in the Middle East.
“In light of increased extremists and settlers’ violence against Palestinians there is a real risk that the situation could escalate,” Borrell says.
“Reports of a ship hijacked by the Houthis are another worrying signal of a risk of the regional spill over.”

Doesn't matter. The Palestinians will never agree to anything except the death of all Jews worldwide. And even if they do agree, they will never follow through with any agreement. They agree but never do anything. This has been the history of Muslims since the beginning. Agree to anything/everything and then just ignore it. It is even written in their Korn. Lying to an Infidel is good. Agreements with Infidels are not binding.

Haaretz Updates Ben Samuels 10:58 PM
Sen. Jeff Merkley became the second U.S. senator to call for a cease-fire, saying "after grimly witnessing accelerating body counts, many Americans, including thousands of Oregonians, have raised their voices to say more must be done to stop the carnage."
"I believe that Israel, in its understandable rage, is also making a massive mistake," Merkley warned. "By waging a war that generates a shocking level of civilian carnage rather than a targeted campaign against Hamas, Israel is burning through its reserves of international support. Too many civilians and too many children have died, and we must value each and every child equally whether they are Israeli or Palestinian.
"The war will damage Israel’s economy with so many workers called to military duty. It also risks undoing the relationships with Arab neighbors won through the Abraham Accords, puts the negotiations for normalization with Saudi Arabia on ice, and could trigger a regional conflict with Hezbollah and other powers. When all is taken into account, this war may decrease rather than increase Israel’s security," Merkley added.
Thanks. This is the latest I've found. @mystery-ak It should be interesting to see what, if anything, they got right.

What We Know About the Hostage Negotiations Between Israel and Hamas NY Times, Nov. 20, 2023, Updated 7:08 p.m. ET
Here’s what we know about the status of the negotiations:
Talks are coalescing around a brief pause in fighting. During the pause, hostages would be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners. Israeli officials said in recent days that negotiations centered around Hamas releasing 50 women and children held hostage in exchange for roughly the same number of Palestinian women and teenagers held in Israeli prisons — and pausing hostilities for several days. One Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks, said there’s still disagreement over the length of any pause and how many hostages would be released for how many prisoners.
What Israel wants: The Israeli government has publicly taken a hard line on the hostages, saying repeatedly that there will be no cease-fire until the captives are released. The talks behind closed doors, though, suggest there might be wiggle room. The Israeli official said that phased exchanges have been proffered in the negotiations but that some in the Israeli government want all the hostages to be released at once.
What Hamas wants: Hamas has said it is seeking a full cease-fire and the release of all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails. It also has added a new condition for releasing civilian hostages: The delivery of fuel to Gaza’s collapsing hospitals. Israel has allowed some fuel into Gaza in recent days for United Nations relief operations, but has opposed more shipments because it argues they could be diverted by Hamas for military use.
Sticking points remain, but the time may be right for an agreement. The Israeli official said that any deal would require a government vote, and some right-wing Israeli politicians have suggested they will oppose any agreement with Hamas. Israel believes that by taking Al-Shifa Hospital, which it says Hamas uses as a military command center and its patients as human shields, the militant group is deprived of a key asset and more inclined to trade hostages, officials have said. The Israeli government is also under pressure from relatives of the hostages, who are demanding swift action to free their loved ones.

Israel-Hamas war: U.S. has been attacked at least 64 times since October 17
U.S. military forces in the Middle East have been attacked at least 64 times since October 17, a U.S. defense official told Fox News.
The official says that 30 of the attacks happened in Iraq, while the 34 other incidents happened in Syria. The attacks have been a mix of rockets and one-way drones.
The three latest attacks occurred at Bashur Airbase in Iraq, Mission Support Site Euphrates in Syria and al-Tanf Garrison in Syria. No service members were wounded by the attacks, and infrastructure was not damaged.
13 of the attacks have happened after the U.S. launched air strikes against militants in Syria on November 12.

Wake Forest professor resigns after saying she was 'tempted to shoot up' Israeli music festival like Hamas Wake professor resigns 'for personal reasons' after inflammatory X post By Kendall Tietz Fox News Published November 20, 2023 3:51pm EST
A Wake Forest University professor has resigned after posting content on social media that defended Hamas’ violent terror attack against civilian music festival attendees in the early morning hours of October 7.
Dr. Laura Mullen, Kenan Chair of the Humanities, English & Creative Writing at Wake Forest University, "has resigned for personal reasons" and will continue teaching through the end of the semester, the university told The Wake Report. Mullen came under fire after she posted on X that she "could be tempted to shoot up your dance party," signaling she empathized with the Hamas terrorists that killed hundreds at the festival during the October 7 mass attack in southern Israel.
"So it’s kind of a Duh but if you turn me out of my house plow my olive groves under and confine what’s left of my family to the small impoverished state you run as an open air prison I could be tempted to shoot up your dance party yeah even knowing you will scorch the earth," Mullen wrote on X.
Mullen originally said her words were "raw, direct, [and] poetic, in that it involved imagery," but deleted the post after a week, explaining the university told her it "may be making things harder on the Muslim population," according to The Wake Report.
On October 17, the university issued a statement that "as a matter of principle," it affirmed "the right to individual freedom of expression," even if they "do not condone or support the views expressed in these posts." But, Mullen complained that Wake Forest threw her "out to the wolves" based on how they handled the situation, The Wake Report reported.
"[The University statement] is like if you watch animal films and you isolate one gazelle, that’s the one that gets eaten. They kind of threw me to the wolves," Mullen said.

Doesn't matter. The Palestinians will never agree to anything except the death of all Jews worldwide. And even if they do agree, they will never follow through with any agreement. They agree but never do anything. This has been the history of Muslims since the beginning. Agree to anything/everything and then just ignore it. It is even written in their Korn. Lying to an Infidel is good. Agreements with Infidels are not binding.
This situation feels different. I'm less convinced this agreement is actually between Israel and Hamas than it is between Arab countries ---- who are concerned about Israel's open-ended war timetable, the fallout and creeping escalation in their neighborhood.

Several IDF deaths in Gaza ground offensive were the result of friendly fire Times of Israel, Nov 21, 2023 EMANUEL FABIAN, 3:06 am
The Israel Defense Forces has seen a number of incidents of so-called “friendly fire” during fighting in the Gaza Strip, some of them with deadly results, The Times of Israel has learned, as Israeli troops engaged Monday in intense combat while pushing forward with the military campaign in the Hamas-ruled enclave.
There are currently thousands of infantry forces, tanks, and other troops in Gaza during Israel’s ground offensive against Hamas, operating in Gaza City’s dense neighborhoods.
The military has said it is constantly assessing the ongoing fighting, including the cases of friendly fire, and quickly implementing lessons learned.

Hamas leader Haniyeh says ‘we are close to reaching a truce agreement’
The chief of Hamas told Reuters on Tuesday that the Palestinian militant group was near a truce agreement with Israel.
Hamas officials are “close to reaching a truce agreement” with Israel and the group has delivered its response to Qatari mediators, Ismail Haniyeh said in a statement sent to Reuters by his aide.
US President Joe Biden said on Monday he believed an accord was near. “We’re closer now than we’ve been before,” White House spokesman John Kirby said of an agreement aimed at securing the release of some hostages held in Gaza and a pause in the fighting that would allow much needed aid into Gaza.
Two sources familiar with the truce talks have told AFP a tentative deal includes a five-day truce, comprised of a ceasefire on the ground and limits to Israeli air operations over southern Gaza.
In return, between 50 and 100 prisoners held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad – a separate Palestinian militant group – would be released.
They would include Israeli civilians and captives of other nationalities, but no military personnel.

"I believe that Israel, in its understandable rage, is also making a massive mistake," Merkley warned. "By waging a war that generates a shocking level of civilian carnage rather than a targeted campaign against Hamas, Israel is burning through its reserves of international support. Too many civilians and too many children have died, and we must value each and every child equally whether they are Israeli or Palestinian.
Hamas just waged a war that generated a shocking level of civilian casualties instead of a targeted campaign against the IDF. And their international support is through the roof.

Maryland hate crime task force member claimed babies murdered by Hamas were 'fake,' compared Israel to Nazis Zainab Chaudry was appointed to the task force by Democrat Maryland AG Anthony Brown By Brandon Gillespie Fox News Published November 21, 2023 4:00am EST
A member of a Maryland task force aimed at combating hate crimes published numerous antisemitic social media posts, including claiming that the babies brutally murdered in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack were "fake," and comparing the nation of Israel to Nazi Germany.
Zainab Chaudry, an anti-Israel activist who serves as the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) Maryland office, made the posts in the weeks following Hamas' attack, which saw more than 1,200 people killed, including children and babies, as well as numerous rapes and destruction of property.
"I will never be able to understand how the world summoned up rage for 40 fake Israeli babies while completely turning a blind eye to 3,000 real Palestinian babies," Chaudry wrote in a Facebook post dated Oct. 26.

Israel, Hamas cease-fire deal with hostage release is in final stages
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a potential cease-fire and hostage release are in their final stages, Fox News has learned.
The deal could include a potential hostage release as well as a temporary end to fighting to get humanitarian aid into the region.
"It does appear the final details are being discussed toward a cease-fire that would end fighting in Gaza for up to five days and include the release of some hostages," Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported from Israel Tuesday afternoon.
"We understand, according to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, that a deal is approaching," Yingst reported. "Reports indicate it would include the release of dozens of Israeli and foreign citizen hostages. The hostages are expected to be only women and children and would be exchanged for [Palestinian] prisoners being held in Israel."
He said the hopeful news "comes amid intense battles in Gaza as Israeli forces work their way across the strip. The Israeli military said it targeted 250 different Hamas sites over the past day, killing dozens of militants."
Reuters similarly reported Hamas officials were "close to reaching a truce agreement" with Israel. They also cited a statement from Ismail Haniyeh. Posted by Fox News

Fox News has been reporting this morning that negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a potential cease-fire and hostage release are in their final stages.
Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst reported a short time ago that Israeli surveillance drones “would have to stop hovering over the northern part of Gaza for at least six hours a day” as part of a possible deal.
Yingst also said three Palestinian prisoners would be released from Israel in exchange for every hostage that Hamas sends back the other way.

Well, there is a flip side. Israel likely has Gaza sealed off so Hamas cannot escape during that time. If most the hostages are recovered it allows Israel to reengage with far less restraint in the tunnels due to fearing the killing of hostages.

The U.S. carried out airstrikes last night directly responding to an attack at the al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, killing several militants, two U.S. defense officials tell Fox News.
The attack from Iran-proxy forces on the base happened Monday, according to the officials.
A U.S. defense official tells Fox News that an AC-130 gunship carried out an airstrike on a vehicle in the proximity of the base, killing an estimated five to eight militants.
There have been dozens of attacks launched on American forces in the Middle East since Hamas launched its war against Israel on Oct. 7.
The military response is the 4th time the U.S. has carried out an airstrike since the attacks ramped up in October.
The other counterattacks happened on Oct. 26, Nov. 8 and Nov. 12, all in Syria.

The State Department said Monday that sanctions against Israeli settlers involved in attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank are "under consideration."
"We don’t like to announce sanctions that we’re going to make before we’ve implemented them," spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters.
Miller also declined to say whether the US would prosecute any American settlers found to have committed criminal acts.
"I don’t want to preview any steps that we might take," he said. "I will reiterate that our first priority is for the Government of Israel to take action against those extremists who are committing violence against Palestinians. But we have options at our disposal as well that we will use if appropriate."
In a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday, President Biden wrote that the US would issue visa bans against settlers found to have taken part in attacks.
Since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on southern Israel, settlers have killed eight Palestinians, including one child, according to the United Nations. Four Israeli civilians have been killed in attacks by Palestinians.

EU approves continued Palestinian development aid
The European Commission has said it will continue to provide financial aid to the Palestinians after an investigation found no evidence that the money was going to Hamas.
On 9 October, after the Hamas terror attack on Israel, the EU’s executive branch announced a review of the use of hundreds of millions of euros in development assistance meant to help the Palestinians fight poverty.
The European Commission executive vice-president, Valdis Dombrovskis, at a press briefing in Strasbourg today, said:
The review found no indications of EU money having directly, or indirectly, benefited the terrorist organisation Hamas.
The EU is the world’s biggest provider of assistance to the Palestinians. Almost €1.2bn is earmarked for 2021-2024.
In a statement, the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, said the review was “necessary” and that it has “confirmed that the safeguards in place are effective”, adding:
"Work is now ongoing on the design of our future support to the Palestinians in view of the changing and still evolving situation."

Two far-right Israeli parties say they won't support proposed hostage deal From Tamar Michaelis in Tel Aviv
Two far-right Israeli parties that are members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government suggested Tuesday that they would not support the hostage deal being considered by the government.
The Religious Zionism Party, headed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, said: “The suggested deal is bad and we must not agree to it. It’s bad for Israel’s security, for the hostages and for IDF soldiers,” adding, “The only way to return all the hostages is to continue applying military pressure on Hamas until its complete surrender.”
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s Jewish Power party said it would “find it very difficult to support the deal,” and that “our demand is a deal that releases everyone, but on our terms.”
Both parties’ statements suggested they had not yet seen the full terms of the deal.
Neither Smotrich nor Ben Gvir is a member of the war cabinet, which is currently meeting to consider the deal.
Both are members of the security cabinet, which is due to meet at 12 p.m. ET.
More on the hostage deal: The Israeli government aims for at least 50 hostages to be released as part of the deal being mooted Tuesday – 10 per day for five days – an Israeli government source told CNN. The government would be prepared to extend the deal if Hamas is prepared to release more hostages.
During the days that the fighting is paused, Israel would stop flying surveillance drones over Gaza for at least six hours each day, one person familiar with the talks said.
Under the forthcoming agreement, Hamas would also gather up any additional women and children hostages during the period that fighting has paused – something the group has insisted that it cannot do until a sustained ceasefire is in place. The temporary ceasefire would potentially be extended beyond that for more hostages to be released.
Hamas has also demanded hundreds of trucks of aid, much of it fuel, as part of the negotiations. Fuel is key to running its military operations and ventilating the group’s network of underground tunnels in Gaza.

JERUSALEM, Israel — The Israeli government approved a deal Tuesday night that will see the Palestinian Hamas terror group release at least 50 female, child, and elderly hostages over four days, in return for a pause in the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
In return, Israel will release a greater number of convicted Palestinians — though none who have been convicted of murder. Israel will resume the fight as soon as the hostages are delivered and the four-day period is over, as it works to destroy Hamas.
The Times of Israel reported:
Hamas has said it has 210 of the about 240 hostages taken from Israel during the October 7 atrocities. Islamic Jihad is said to be holding the remaining hostages.
According to the developing deal, Hamas will release at least 50 Israeli hostages, mainly women and children, in exchange for a ceasefire of four days, the release of between 150 and 300 Palestinian prisoners, and the entry of fuel and other goods into Gaza.
Some 12-13 hostages will be released per day as the ceasefire takes effect, the source says, adding that Israel will release women and minor prisoners, with each returning to the city or town where he lived prior to imprisonment, including the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
In a briefing to reporters Tuesday, Israeli negotiation adviser Moty Cristal said that Hamas’s leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, had likely already decided to die as a martyr when he launched the October 7 attack. That did not mean, however, that he would not use negotiations to achieve other goals in the interim.
Cristal emphasized that the main motivation for Israel in the war was freeing the hostages, even if the stated, equal policy goal was ending Hamas as a military threat in the Gaza Strip.

The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post · 25m Israel has agreed to a condition laid out by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to halt Israeli UAVs in the Gaza airspace for six hours on each day of the ceasefire in exchange for the release of some of the hostages.
As others have noted, this would be a deal breaker for me. Israeli agencies quite likely have abundant assets on the ground by now to make up for it - at least for a time. Hopefully. Maybe.

An Israeli government source told reporters Tuesday evening that the deal is expected to see the release of 50 living Israeli citizens, mostly women and children, in groups of 12-13 people per day. In exchange Israel will release Palestinian women and minors from prison and return them to where they used to live, mostly the West Bank and East Jerusalem, pause fighting for four days and allow the entry of more fuel to the Strip.
The source said that all Israeli security agencies — the IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad — are in favor of the emerging deal. The official said that Netanyahu has insisted on certain elements being part of the deal, including the ongoing release of hostages even after the 4-5 day pause, a commitment by Hamas to identify and locate hostages being held by other terror groups in the Strip, and the refusal to release Palestinian prisoners who have been convicted of murder.
Once the cabinet approves the deal, it is expected to go into effect only 24 hours later, to allow for appeals to the High Court, with the first wave of releases expected only Thursday.

"Bring"? Bibi didn't send them to Gaza. The "demand" should be "Return (them) home right now."
The plea to bring them home is from families to Netanyahu. They want him to do whatever it takes. I'm inclined to give this group a pass on their semantic faux pas. @SZonian

12 min(s) ago White House considering labeling Houthis a terrorist organization again
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Tuesday that the Biden administration is considering labeling Yemen’s Houthi rebels a terrorist group again after they recently hijacked an Israeli-linked cargo ship.
The U.S. State Department had been labeling the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization until February 2021.
“The seizure of the motor vessel Galaxy Leader is a flagrant violation of international law. Iran is complicit through its material support and its encouragement of the Houthi forces who conducted this seizure. Absolutely unacceptable,” Kirby said Tuesday.
“So in light of recent targeting of civilians by the Houthis and now the piracy of the ship in international waters, we have begun a review of potential terrorist designations and will be considering other options together with our allies and partners as well,” Kirby added.
In 2021, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in announcing that the Houthi's status as a foreign terrorist organization was being revoked, said "We have listened to warnings from the United Nations, humanitarian groups, and bipartisan members of Congress, among others, that the designations could have a devastating impact on Yemenis’ access to basic commodities like food and fuel.
"The revocations are intended to ensure that relevant U.S. policies do not impede assistance to those already suffering what has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis," Blinken said at the time. Posted by Greg Norman

China’s Xi calls for ‘international peace conference’ to resolve Israel-Hamas war
Chinese President Xi Jinping called for an “international peace conference” aimed at resolving the Israel-Hamas war, state-run Xinhua news agency reported Tuesday.
Addressing a virtual summit of BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), the Chinese leader also laid out a three-pronged strategy for dealing with the conflict, including urging the release of hostages and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
“First, the parties to the conflict must end hostilities and achieve a ceasefire immediately,” he said, according to a translated copy of the statement.
“Second, humanitarian corridors must be kept secure and unimpeded, and more humanitarian assistance should be provided to the population in Gaza,” he continued.
“Third, the international community must act with practical measures to prevent the conflict from spilling over and endangering stability in the Middle East as a whole.”
The comments come as sources told NBC News that a tentative deal had been reached on the release of some hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, with further details expected later Tuesday.

The White House revealed Tuesday what would immediately happen to any hostages released by Hamas as part of an expected imminent deal.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that the kidnap victims would be brought to Israel for “immediate medical attention,'' according to CNN.
“We have to assume that many of them need some sort of medical attention and that they’re being held in abhorrent conditions,’’ the Biden official said.
Kirby said the next step would be to get them back to their home countries if other than Israel and reunite them with their families.
In the case of any freed Americans, “The State Department would make sure that they’re looking after them from a consular perspective and providing whatever assistance they might need for follow-on movements,” he said.

IDF spokesman says any Hamas cease-fire is a ‘dubious endeavor’
Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus told Fox News on Tuesday that any cease-fire with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, “based on our previous experience is always a dubious endeavor.”
“We have had soldiers taken hostage – or being abducted in 2014 after a U.N. cease-fire was brokered. So we have to be very careful when it comes to anything that relates to operations on the ground with Hamas,” Conricus said.
“I also know that there are other conditions Hamas is trying to stipulate. What we will and will not do while the hostages are being returned,” he added, noting that any cease-fire or hostage swap deal is “not done until it’s done.”
“Based on our experience with Hamas, I can only believe what I see and I can touch with my own hands,” Conricus declared.
Around 240 hostages are being held by Hamas inside of the Gaza Strip.
‘We would rather not be in the situation that we are in... but we have to deal with the hand that we have been dealt or play the cards that we have and make the best of the situation,” according to Conricus.
“Nothing says that the war ends after hostages are returned,” Conricus also said. “Hamas needs to be destroyed.” Posted by Greg Norman

Everything dealing with Arabs is 'dubious'. Arab Muslims think of Infidels as literally dogs. Not figurative dogs. Literal dogs. Arab Muslims think of Infidels as their slaves and servants. This includes the Infidels who cheer and support them. Therefore, any agreement with a dog or a slave is a joke to them. They do not feel obliged to observe their side of any negotiations with slaves and dogs. This is a concept Americans cannot comprehend.
I will be very surprised if Hamas fulfills ALL aspects of any agreement. Hamas will slow roll trickle releasing hostages for as long as possible to stall for as much time as possible to rearm and regroup. They will likely release a hostage or two a day (starting with the hostages they have already killed first, bodies) for a month or months to try to frustrate Israel and the world.
Right now, the hostages are all they have. The hostages are their only power. Hamas will hold on to them forever, or for as long as possible.

Speaking after a meeting with his war cabinet and the wider security cabinet, the Israeli prime minister said accepting a deal was “a difficult decision but it’s a right decision”.
Netanyahu said the US president, Joe Biden, had helped “improve the framework being laid out before you ... to include more hostages at a lower price”, adding:
"The entire security establishment fully supports it."

Hamas is not a single group. Hamas is not a single Army with a defined 'chain of command'. Hamas is a factious union of murderous terrorists groups each with their own Sheik or leader. Think of Hamas as a band of 'biker gangs' who happen to have a common goal which is the death of all Infidels, starting with Israel first.
Each of these factions is holding a certain number of hostages. The idea that a so-called 'Hamas Leader' can make an agreement to as they say, "release all hostages", is not possible. Since that would require that all the separate sects would all agree to 'obey' together the so-called 'Hamas Leader' (which does not really exist). The odds of this happening are minimal, since each Sheik/sect would have his own demands for a different distinct payoff.
There is no 'one person' or 'one entity' in the Islamic world with the authority to control all the various facets of Hamas. So, this agreement will only apply to those Hamas entities which decide to abide by it. Western negotiators and Western people think in Western First World terms, which do not apply to Hamas or to the entire Middle East by and large.
In summary, negotiating with people claiming to control Hamas is the only option available. Therefore it must be pursued. However, the idea being pushed in the media of "releasing all hostages" is only asymptotically possible. That is to say, it is an idea with a possibility of actually happening that is approaching but never quite reaching zero. It is very unlikely.

Three things we have learned so far:
Hamas is getting their ass kicked. Hence the need for a cease fire.
Hamas is running low on fuel.
Hamas doesn't like drones scouring the sky watching their moves.
Hamas needs a break so that they can shift their forces and bring in more fuel and weapons to continue their fight against the IDF.

Israel-Hamas war: Netanyahu speaks ahead of Cabinet vote on hostage deal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the possible approval of a hostage deal with Hamas terrorists ahead of a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
"I want to start with something that should be obvious – there is nonsense talk out there, as if after the pause for the release of our hostages, we will stop the war," Netanyahu began. "So I want to make it clear: we are at war, and we will continue this war until we achieve ALL our goals."
"To eliminate Hamas, to bring back all of our hostages and missing people, and to ensure that in Gaza there will be no factor that threatens Israel," he added.
The Israeli leader also thanked President Biden for helping with negotiations to free hostages.
"I’ve talked to our friend, the President of the USA, Joe Biden, I’ve asked him to intervene in order to better the deal that will be presented to you," Netanyahu explained. "And it was improved to include more hostages for lesser price. These talks have succeeded, Mr. Biden got involved, and I thank him for that."
Netanyahu called the decision to negotiate with Hamas "difficult" before the vote began.
"We have a hard decision tonight, but it is the right decision, all the security establishment supports it. Completely," he said. "They made it clear in their full professional assessment that the security of our forces will be guaranteed during the days of the pause, and that the intelligence effort will be maintained during those days."

There is no doubt that the coordinates are being supplied to America by Hamas itself, to protect key installations from attack. ALL agencies in the American Federal Government are riddled with Islamists and Islamic supporters (thank you Obama Hussein). Anything coming from America to Israel in regard to the Gaza War is more than likely going to favor Hamas. Any intelligence supplied by Israel to America will go directly to Iran and then to Hamas.

4 minutes ago Israel reaches tentative hostage, ceasefire deal with Hamas By Ronny Reyes
Israel and Hamas reached a tentative deal Tuesday to free hostages from Gaza, reports said.
More than a month after kidnapping about 240 people during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, the Palestinian terror group Hamas reportedly agreed to release some of its captives.
In exchange, Israel had been expected to agree to a days-long pause in the war that has devastated the Palestinian enclave. Along with the cease-fire, Israel was reportedly set to release some of its prisoners.
US officials have said they were hoping that Abigail Mor Idan, a 3-year-old American girl whose parents were killed Oct. 7, would be among the children included in the negotiations.
Ahead of the hostage negotiations, Israeli soldiers transferred detained Palestinians on Tuesday out of the Gaza Strip. It is unclear if those transferred might be among the prisoners released in the hostage negotiations.
The reported deal was designed to create the first major pause in the war that has killed more than 1,200 people in the Jewish state and more than a reported 11,500 others in Gaza, an unprecedented loss of life in the decades of conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
It would come as a relief to those sheltering in Gaza after Israel began an all-out bombardment and ground assault into the Palestinian enclave, shutting down hospitals and evacuating civilians to the south.
On Monday, injured Palestinians were evacuated from the struggling Indonesian hospital to the Nasser hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis.
The cease-fire deal was likely be coordinated with further evacuations out of north Gaza, which holds several of Hamas’ headquarters, along with more aid trucks to be received by hospitals.

Israel and Hamas reach cease-fire, hostage deal
Israel has agreed Tuesday to a cease-fire and hostage release deal with Hamas that was brokered by Qatari negotiators, the Israeli government has confirmed to Fox News.
"Tonight, the government approved the outline for the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages - women and children - will be released for 4 days, during which there will be a lull in the fighting," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement. "The release of every ten additional hostages will result in an additional day of respite."
"The Israeli government, the IDF and the security forces will continue the war in order to return all the hostages, to complete the elimination of Hamas and to ensure that Gaza does not renew any threat to the State of Israel," the statement added.
The agreement comes as Israel and Hamas are in the 47th day of the war, which began on Oct. 7 when Palestinian terrorists launched a surprise attack on southern Israel.
To date, there have been more than 1,200 Israelis reported killed by Hamas, while the Hamas-run Palestinian Ministry of Health is claiming nearly 13,000 civilians have been killed from Israeli military activity in Gaza.

I have no faith that the Arabs will honor this "cease fire" or release 50 hostages. Arabs have NEVER abided by any agreement before. What makes anyone think they will this time? Hamas will just cheat and jerk around the agreement in every way possible and then claim that Israel broke the agreement. This is what Arabs ALWAYS do, every single time. Because they know the media will support any claim they make no matter how absurd it is.
How many of the 50 will be dead? Hamas will only release dead bodies back to Israel.

IDF pounds Gaza with deadly airstrikes, ground raids ahead of cease-fire
Smoke has been seen rising from the Gaza Strip Wednesday as Israel and Hamas are preparing to implement a temporary cease-fire in the region, which Egyptian state media says will go into effect at 3 a.m. ET Thursday.
Residents in Gaza City reported to the Associated Press that fighting there intensified overnight with gunfire and airstrikes.
“Apparently they want to advance before the truce,” resident Nasser al-Sheikh was quoted as saying.
The Israel Defense Forces, in a post on X this morning, reiterated once again for people in Gaza City to evacuate the area.
“Hamas has lost its control over northern Gaza and is trying to prevent Gazans from moving southward for their safety,” it added.
The IDF said in a statement that Israeli forces "continue to operate in the Gaza Strip to kill terrorists, destroy terrorist infrastructure, and locate weapons stored inside civilian buildings."
"This morning, IDF troops neutralized a terror tunnel shaft from which a Hamas terrorist exited and fired at the soldiers. Moreover, IDF troops identified terrorists and located weapons in a structure used by the Hamas terrorist organization," the IDF said. "The troops killed the terrorists and destroyed the structure."
"In addition, over the past day, as part of the assistance to ground troops, Israeli Navy forces struck several Hamas military targets, including a structure from which sniper fire was carried out against the troops, as well as several military posts located along the coastline," the IDF continued.

IDF Releases New Footage Of Terrorist Shooting Festival-Goer At Point-Blank Range During Hamas Attack
Dana Abizaid Contributor November 22, 2023 9:07 AM ET
Israel released security camera footage Monday from the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack that shows gunmen chasing down music festival attendees and executing a woman at point-blank range, Reuters reported.
Israel is trying to deflect international criticism for its military incursion in the Gaza strip following the Hamas attacks, according to Reuters. Despite calls for a ceasefire to the war in Gaza, Israel has vowed to carry on with its military campaign until the Hamas threat is neutralized, the news agency reported.
“This is a war between good and evil,” a post on a social media account linked to Israel’s foreign ministry said.
The video shows Hamas gunmen chasing people fleeing from a music festival near the border that turned into a bloodbath, Reuters reported.

Gaza Ceasefire to Take Effect Thursday, With 50 Israeli Hostages, 150 Palestinians in First Swap
The truce would be the biggest diplomatic breakthrough in the month-old war, but Israeli PM Netanyahu has pledged to renew combat after the halt Published 11/22/23 05:59 AM ET|Updated 3 hr ago Peter S. Green
Israel and Hamas have agreed to a four-day ceasefire to take effect Thursday, while the Palestinians release between 50 and 80 Israeli hostages, and Israel lets up to 300 prisoners, mostly women and children, out of its jails, mediators said Wednesday.
The truce is the first halt in the fighting and the biggest diplomatic breakthrough since Hamas terrorists crossed into Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 Israeli civilians and taking about more than 240 Israelis captive, and setting off a war with Israel that has devastated large swathes of Gaza.
As hostages are released, the fighting is expected to halt, and aid will be allowed to flow into Gaza, where many people have been without water, electricity or sufficient food for weeks.

44 minutes ago Who are the Palestinians being released by Israel? By David Spector
Israel and Hamas have reached a deal for the release of 50 of the 240 hostages taken by the terrorist group in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners.
Israel has ruled out releasing prisoners convicted of murder but could release those convicted of attempted murder, terrorist activity and other violent crimes, according to Haaretz.
The list includes 123 people under the age of 18, imprisoned for violent offenses such as throwing firebombs or arson.
Marah Bakeer, who was imprisoned at the age of 16 for stabbing an Israeli border patrol agent in 2015, is set to be released.
Yasmin Shaaban, 40, a woman who planned to disguise herself as a pregnant Jewish woman and commit a suicide bombing, could also be among those released, Ynet reports.
Also on the list is Shuruk Duwayyat, who stabbed two Jews in Jerusalem's Old City, and a Palestinian teenager who stabbed a woman in front of her children.
Another potential prisoner who could be released is Asra Jabas, 38, who wounded an Israeli soldier by blowing up a gas tank in 2015.
The oldest prisoner who could be released is 59.
Hamas took 240 hostages in its deadly October 7 terrorist attacks.
Among the hostages are an elderly Holocaust survivor, women, children and babies.

Biden admin reacts to temporary cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas, release of hostages
Landon Mion Fox | November 22, 2023 5:28am EST
President Biden and other administration officials said Tuesday that they welcomed the temporary cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas that includes the release of hostages.
Qatari negotiators helped broker the deal, which included Israel's military agreeing to temporarily stop its airstrikes and ground invasion of Gaza for humanitarian purposes. Additionally, Hamas has agreed to release dozens of hostages in tandem and Israel has agreed to release Palestinian prisoners on a 3-to-1 ratio. Hamas leaders will release one hostage for every three Palestinians that Israel releases from its prisons.
Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken all released statements supporting the agreement between Israeli officials and Hamas terrorists amid the ongoing war in the Middle East. . .
Sounds to me like the Biden regime was a party to this 'negotiation' which explains why Israel is coming out on the bad end of it. If Israel wants to win this, then they need to stop listening to Biden.

Exactly, precisely, specifically, what I said would happen days ago. Hostages are the only power Hamas has against Israel. Hamas will NEVER let them go.
And this is only the beginning. Hamas will string this "pause" out for as long as possible with delays, feigned confusion, lies, and duplicitous bullshit. This is the standard playbook of negotiating with Arabs. They are the exact opposite of honorable trustworthy people. They always break any promises or agreements they make with the Infidel pigdogs.

Looking at this situation in reverse (since the Left is obsessed with proportionality). If Israel captured 200 Gazan 'hostages', Hamas would laugh! Hamas would say, 'Kill Them All!' We will do it for you!
This is the difference. If Israel took hostages the hostages would be thanking and praising Israel. They would beg Israel NOT to turn them back over to Hamas. WE WANT TO STAY!!

I feel the same way. I want the hostages released. If it were my family member being held by these people (and I use that term very loosely) I would be screaming to do whatever was necessary.
But conversely, this "pause" is very likely to get a lot of soldiers killed. And lose advantage.

White House: We Want Pauses ‘Irrespective of a Hostage Deal’ But Israel Wouldn’t Do That
On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” White House Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk said that the White House supports “humanitarian pauses irrespective of a hostage deal” but President Joe Biden realized the only way to get a humanitarian pause was to have an agreement to bring hostages home.
McGurk said, “We’re engaged in very intensive discussion with the Israelis every single day. And I think when the President went to Israel…he spoke publicly about war-time decisions being the most difficult decisions. They require deliberation. They require constant, rigorous inquiry into the objectives and whether the policies you’re pursuing are achieving them. But one thing we’ve been very focused on since that time, and before then, is this hostage deal. The President recognized very early, the only way, the only realistic way to get a humanitarian pause in place — and we support humanitarian pauses irrespective of a hostage deal — is through an agreement to bring the hostages home. And there [were] a number of very, very difficult, intensive conversations between the President and these other leaders that helped get this done. And we’re going to have to see where — what happens over the coming days. But the Israelis have fully committed to this deal. Hamas has committed to this deal through the Qataris and the Egyptians.”
Here's an important question to ask the Israeli security community: How can any of this take you by surprise? You've been telling the world this since 2014.

US destroyer shoots down bomb-carrying drones launched from Houthi territory in Yemen
A U.S. destroyer stationed in the Red Sea has shot down bomb-carrying drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, the military said.
The military arm of Yemen’s Houthi rebels said earlier Wednesday that it launched a batch of long-range large missiles toward southern Israel, including the Red Sea city of Eilat. The Iran-backed rebel group has launched at least six aerial attacks against Israel since the conflict broke out on Oct. 7.
The Houthis, who oppose Israel, previously shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone during the Israel-Hamas war with a surface-to-air missile, and have fired drones and missiles toward Israel.
U.S. Central Command said the USS Thomas Hudner, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, shot down the drones early Thursday morning.
“The ship and crew sustained no damage or injury,” Central Command said, but did not identify what it believed the drones were targeting.
The Israeli-Hamas violence now expanding into the Red Sea, which stretches from Egypt's Suez Canal down to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait separating East Africa from the Arabian Peninsula, increases concerns of a wider conflict.

Israel has 'long history' of lopsided deals in order to save captive citizens: Brit Hume
Brit Hume, Fox News chief political analyst, joins "Special Report" to discuss the temporary cease-fire and prisoner swap deal reached between Israel and Hamas.
Israel is set to swap 150 Palestinian detainees for 50 hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza. Hume described the deal as "not good" from a military perspective, but explained that Israel is known for making lopsided deals in order to rescue Israeli citizens being held hostage.
"Israel has a long history of going to extraordinary lengths to get its people back, captive Israeli citizens, and they have made deals far more unequal than this in the past. So, this is what they do, and it is deeply embedded in Israeli tradition," Hume said, later adding that this is a "very difficult situation to deal with."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late Wednesday he told U.S. President Joe Biden that he will press ahead with the war after a cease-fire expires. Some 1,200 people have been killed in Israel, mostly during the initial incursion by Hamas.

Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupt Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City
Groups of pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, with some chanting and singing "Palestine will be free" while others glued themselves to the street along the parade route.
One group of protesters took to the parade route in Midtown Manhattan and unfurled a banner reading, "Liberation for Palestine and Planet." They called for an end to fossil fuels while supporting Palestinians in Gaza.
The protesters wore white jumpsuits, doused themselves with red liquid and superglued their hands to the street to try to disrupt the parade. The crowd lining the sidewalk can be heard drowning out the chants with boos.
NYPD officers were seen removing the protesters from the street and taking them away from the scene so that the parade could continue.
On another part of the parade route, protesters waving Palestinian flags and holding pro-Palestinian signs were singing a variety of chants, including "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
Some chanted, "There is only one solution, intifada revolution," while others called for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.
In another act of protest, an individual aboard a Native American float in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City whipped out a Palestinian flag during the parade’s broadcast on television.

Israel confirms list of hostages to be released received
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office on Thursday confirmed receipt of a list of hostages that will be released by Hamas on Friday.
"Israel confirms that a preliminary list of names has been received," the prime minister's office said in a statement. "The appointed officials are checking the details of the list and are in contact with all the families at these moments."
A spokesman for Qatar's foreign ministry said earlier the list names 13 people who will be released from captivity in Gaza at 4 p.m. local time on Nov. 24. Israel and Hamas have agreed to a temporary cease-fire in exchange for a hostage and prisoner swap. Qatar mediated talks between the two sides.
Hamas has said it will release 50 hostages taken in the Oct. 7 terrorist attack in exchange for three times that number of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
The cease-fire will last for four days, after which Israel has vowed to continue its war to eradicate Hamas.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says that once the “short” temporary truce with the Hamas terror group ends, the military will resume the fighting “with intensity” for at least two more months.
“What you will see in the coming days is first the release of hostages. This respite will be short,” Gallant says to troops of the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit.
“What is required of you in this respite is to organize,get ready, investigate, resupply arms, and get ready to continue,” he tells the forces.
“There will be a continuation, because we need to complete the victory and create the impetus for the next groups of hostages, who will only come back as a result of pressure,” he says.
Even after the period of intense fighting ends, he says, “there will be many operations in which Shayetet 13 will have something to do, until there is no military threat from the Gaza Strip, and we will have freedom of action to do what we want at any given moment.”

This is the first meal the Israeli hostages will eat once freed By Social Links for Alex Oliveira Published Nov. 23, 2023, 6:18 p.m. ET
The Israeli Health Ministry issued local hospitals with guidelines for feeding patients suffering from malnutrition as they prepare to admit 50 hostages released by Hamas in the cease-fire deal, according to reports.
Official guidelines address “treating refeeding syndrome in returning captives,” according to Israeli news outlet Ynet, referring to a condition that can be fatal to people who have not eaten properly for extended periods of time and are suddenly introduced to a normal diet.
“Prolonged malnutrition may lead to significant nutritional deficiencies that can adversely affect health and even pose a life-threatening risk,” the guide explained, and broke down the recommended diets based on age group.
Children between one and three years old should be given water, a sweet biscuit, unsweetened applesauce, tea sweetened with a teaspoon of sugar, the guide said.
Adolescents and adults are to be given water, a hot drink sweetened with a tablespoon of sugar, three sweet biscuits, and unsweetened applesauce.
Refeeding syndrome is caused by a sudden shift in fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic intake, according to the National Institutes of Health. Patients who have not been given proper sustenance for a period of ten days are susceptible.
It is unclear what condition the 240 hostages taken by Hamas during their bloody October 7 surprise attack are in.
During their 54 days of captivity, it is believed most have been held prisoner in the elaborate network of tunnels burrowed deep beneath Gaza.
Israel and Hamas agreed to terms for a four-day cease-fire which is expected to begin at 7 a.m. local time (12 a.m. ET). In return for the release of the hostages, Israel will release 150 Palestinian prisoners and send trucks of fuel and humanitarian supplies into Gaza.

Israel may ‘intensify’ bombardment before cease-fire as Hamas morale plummets By Social Links for Alex Oliveira Published Nov. 23, 2023, 4:59 p.m. ET
Israeli military officials said their bombardment of Gaza may “intensify” in the final hours before a four-day cease-fire begins early Friday — as reports say Hamas morale has plummeted, causing many terrorists to retreat south.
“[It’s] business as usual,” said Lt. Col Richard Hecht, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), told reporters Thursday.
Artillery airstrikes “may even intensify” in the coming hours, Recht added, according to NBC News.
Israeli shells have been reported falling north of Gaza and in the southern city of Khan Younis Thursday, according to the BBC, while heavy fighting is still raging in northern sections of the city.
Meanwhile, some Hamas terrorists have abandoned their guns and fled south as the IDF continues to gain ground and has successfully eliminated senior officials, the Jerusalem Post reported.

“The war is not over yet,” the Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee has said in a message in Arabic to Palestinian civilians in Gaza. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, he said:
"The humanitarian pause is temporary. The northern Gaza Strip is a dangerous war zone and it is forbidden to move north. For your safety, you must remain in the humanitarian zone in the south."
It is only possible to move from the north of the Strip to the south via Salah al-Din Road. The movement of residents from the south of the Strip to the north is not allowed and dangerous."
Prior to the ceasefire, Israel repeatedly bombed the south of Gaza despite telling Palestinians to flee there.

Britain will provide a further £30m ($37.38m) of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the UK foreign secretary, David Cameron, has said as he travels to the occupied Palestinian territories on the second day of his visit to the region.
Cameron will meet Palestinian leaders and aid agencies.
On Thursday, he met the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he expressed hope that the truce with Hamas would be an “opportunity to crucially get hostages out and get aid into Gaza”.
In a statement on Friday, Cameron said:
Quote
We are hopeful that today will see the release of hostages, and I am urging all parties to continue to work towards the release of every hostage. A pause will also allow access for life-saving aid to the people of Gaza.
I am proud that a fourth UK flight carrying critical supplies landed in Egypt today, and I can announce new £30m of funding which will be spent on vital aid such as shelter and medical provisions.
It is vital to protect civilians from harm, and we are urgently looking at all avenues to get aid into Gaza, including land, maritime and air routes. The new pledge will double the amount of additional aid Britain has committed to Gaza since the conflict began in October.

Dozens of Palestinians cross from Egypt to Gaza on first day of truce
At least 67 Palestinians who have been stuck in Egypt since fighting began on October 7 crossed back into Gaza on Friday, hours after the truce went into effect.
The Palestinian embassy in Cairo said Thursday that Palestinians stuck in the Sinai Peninsula will be allowed to cross to Gaza on Friday. Other Palestinians elsewhere in parts of Egypt will be allowed to cross to Gaza from Saturday if they wish, the embassy added.
Zeinat Al-Gindy, who had traveled to Egypt for medical treatment before the war started, spoke to CNN shortly before she went through the Rafah border crossing.
“The soil of Gaza is our soul, it’s the air we breathe. This is the land of perseverance. God willing, the victory will be ours,” she added.
A young man who declined to give his name he wants to return home even if there is little left of it. “I haven’t been able to reach my family for 22 days. I can’t reach them by phone or via internet. Where are they? What happened to them? I don’t know anything about them,” he said.

Rocket alarms sound in Gaza border towns 15 minutes after ceasefire comes into effect
Rocket sirens blare in the evacuated Gaza border area towns of Kissufim and Ein Hashlosha in southern Israel.
The alarms come 15 minutes after a four-day ceasefire commenced, meaning that if projectiles were indeed launched, it appears to be the first violation of the truce by Gazan terror groups.

Israel's foreign minister pledges war will continue when cease-fire lifts
Israel's foreign minister said Friday it will continue the war against Hamas once the four-day cease-fire is over and will not stop until Hamas is overthrown.
Both sides agreed to a temporary cease-fire, which began Friday, as part of a hostage release deal. Hamas will release 50 of the hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
The truce could be extended by a day for each additional release of 10 more hostages — an arrangement that could translate into a longer cease-fire. In all, militants from Hamas and other groups kidnapped about 240 people in their Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
However, Israeli leaders have vowed to resume the war once the cease-fire lifts.
“Israel will continue its war on Hamas and we will not stop until we achieve our two main goals, overthrowing the rule of Hamas and returning all the abductees back to us, safe and sound,” Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said Friday as he toured Israel’s ravaged border areas with his counterparts from Portugal and Slovenia.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have made similar pledges.

This is the first meal the Israeli hostages will eat once freed By Social Links for Alex Oliveira Published Nov. 23, 2023, 6:18 p.m. ET
The Israeli Health Ministry issued local hospitals with guidelines for feeding patients suffering from malnutrition as they prepare to admit 50 hostages released by Hamas in the cease-fire deal, according to reports.
Official guidelines address “treating refeeding syndrome in returning captives,” according to Israeli news outlet Ynet, referring to a condition that can be fatal to people who have not eaten properly for extended periods of time and are suddenly introduced to a normal diet.
“Prolonged malnutrition may lead to significant nutritional deficiencies that can adversely affect health and even pose a life-threatening risk,” the guide explained, and broke down the recommended diets based on age group.
Children between one and three years old should be given water, a sweet biscuit, unsweetened applesauce, tea sweetened with a teaspoon of sugar, the guide said.
Adolescents and adults are to be given water, a hot drink sweetened with a tablespoon of sugar, three sweet biscuits, and unsweetened applesauce.
Refeeding syndrome is caused by a sudden shift in fluid, electrolyte, and metabolic intake, according to the National Institutes of Health. Patients who have not been given proper sustenance for a period of ten days are susceptible.
It is unclear what condition the 240 hostages taken by Hamas during their bloody October 7 surprise attack are in.

BREAKING: Americans Left Behind in First Round of Hostage Releases From Gaza
Katie Pavlich | November 24, 2023 9:58 AM
Thirteen Israeli hostages were released by Hamas from the Gaza Strip Friday in round one of a broader, four day ceasefire. As part of the deal, Israel released a number of women and male teenagers convicted of violent terrorism crimes, including attempted murder, from their prisons in exchange for the hostages. The hostages were taken on October 7 after Hamas rampaged through the south of Israel, killing more than 1400 civilians in their homes and at a music festival.
Despite the White House claiming earlier in the week President Joe Biden's leadership led to the ceasefire, no Americans were released in the first round. Four year old Abigail Edan is among the Americans still being held. Today is her birthday. More than 200 hostages remain in the Gaza Strip.
"Glad to see this process moving forward. We are doing all we can, including to secure the release of Americans. We are focused on it hourly," a senior White House official tells Fox News.

Pedro Sánchez, whose recent comments have infuriated Israel’s foreign minister (see here), continued his pleas for a rethink of Israel’s offensive in Gaza while visiting the Rafah crossing in Egypt today.
The Spanish prime minister also said his country would be prepared to unilaterally recognise the state of Palestine if EU countries failed to do so in significant numbers. He said:
Quote
I reiterate that Israel has the right to defend itself, but within the parameters and limitations imposed by international humanitarian law. But this is not the case. The indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, including thousands of boys and girls, is completely unacceptable. Violence will only lead to more violence. We need to replace violence with hope and peace.
He also said:
Quote
I think the moment has come for the international community – especially for the European Union and member states – to recognise the state of Palestine. I think it would be important if many member states of the European Union did it all together. But if this is not the case, of course Spain will take its own decisions …
We must offer Palestinian people a future of hope. It’s not just a question of finding a solution to the crisis in Gaza; Israel must be the first to take a comprehensive approach that also deals with the West Bank and East Jerusalem. This will only be possible through the implementation of the two-state solution, including the recognition by the international community and Israel of the state of Palestine.[

Four German hostages released from Gaza, says foreign minister
Four German-Israeli dual nationals were among the hostages released from Gaza on Friday, German media reported.
The released hostages whose family members said they had dual citizenship were: Aviv Asher, 2; Raz Asher, 4; and Doron Katz-Asher, 34; as well as Margalit Mozes, 77.
Germany’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock, on the sidelines of a Greens’ party conference, confirmed four dual nationals were among those released, Deutsche Welle reported.
She expressed her thanks to Qatar for its role in negotiating the release as well as Egypt and the International Red Cross. She said:

After delivering remarks about the release of hostages earlier Friday, President Biden and his family stopped by the Nantucket Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the evening.
According to a pool report, as the ceremony ended, fewer than 10 protesters unveiled signs reading "Free Palestine" and "End apartheid"
"Biden, Biden you can't hide," the protesters chanted. "We charge you with genocide." Video below from Reuters correspondent Jeff Mason:

It's Simple Why No Arab Countries Are Taking Palestinian Refugees. They Know Better.
Townhall by Matt Vespa November 19, 2023
When Israel began conducting airstrikes in Gaza, everyone knew there was going to be displacement. The military operation comes after Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, murdering 1,200-1,400 civilians in a coordinated assault involving well over 1,000 terrorists. The level of barbarity was unprecedented, leading to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forming a unity government that aims to destroy Hamas. On October 28, the ground invasion began, leading to scores of Palestinians attempting to make their way south to safety. Hamas shot some who tried to flee. Advertisement
As the Left rages against Israel, hurling antisemitic slurs and chanting for more Jews to die, some might want to consider why the civilians have nowhere to go. Okay, maybe these folks do know but don’t care, but liberals are historically illiterate, so who knows? It goes beyond geography. The Palestinians bring trouble and have a long, sordid history of fomenting mayhem and terrorism in other Arab nations.
Egypt is the logical destination for these Palestinians, but Cairo doesn’t want them, and for good reason: terrorism. The border crossing at Rafah remains closed, with tanks now deployed to ensure their border is secure. Egypt’s prime minister even said his country is willing to sacrifice millions to ensure no Palestinians ever enter Egypt en masse (via WSJ):

Biden Hints at Conditioning Aid to Israel on Reducing Bombs in Gaza
President Joe Biden on Friday hinted that he was considering conditioning aid to Israel on its military reducing bombing in Gaza in its offensive against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
During a press conference on Friday, a reporter asked him, “Mr. President, there are members of your party who would like to see conditions placed on aid to Israel. What is your view on that? They would like to see, you know, a reduction in the bombing and that sort of thing.”
Biden indicated that it could be considered later down the road.
“Well, I think that’s a — a worthwhile thought, but I don’t think if I started off with that we’d ever gotten to where we are today,” he said, adding, “We have to take this a piece at a time.”
The idea that Biden could condition aid to Israel would be a politically risky move, since the U.S. is Israel’s top ally, and that would alienate Jewish supporters who support the offensive.

Watch: 9-year-old Ohad Munder runs into his father's arms after release by Hamas
Nine-year-old Ohad Munder, his mother Keren, 55, and his grandmother Ruti, 78, returned to Israel on Friday night after they were freed from Gaza.
In a video released by the Schneider Medical Center, at the family's request and with their permission, Ohad is seen running down a hospital corridor straight into his waiting father's arms.
Ohad and his family were released by Hamas on Friday as part of a cease-fire deal in which the terror group will free 50 hostages taken captive in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners held by the Jewish state.
Ohad turned nine while he was held captive in Gaza. The fourth-grader from the central Israeli city of Kfar Saba was kidnapped along with his mother and grandparents during a holiday visit to his grandparents’ kibbutz of Nir Oz along the border with Gaza.
His grandfather, Avraham Munder, remains in Gaza.

Egyptian officials say Hamas will release 14 hostages for 42 Palestinian prisoners
Egyptian officials say that Hamas is preparing to release 14 more Israeli hostages on Saturday in exchange for 42 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, the Associated Press reported.
The second exchange comes on day two of a four-day cease-fire agreed to by both sides after mediation by U.S., Qatari and Egyptian officials.
On Friday, Hamas released 24 of the about 240 hostages taken during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel that triggered the war, and Israel freed 39 Palestinians from prison. Those freed from captivity in Gaza were 13 Israelis, 10 Thais and a Filipino.
On Saturday, Hamas provided mediators Egypt and Qatar a list of 14 hostages to be released, and the list has been passed along to Israel, an Egyptian official told the Associated Press. A second Egyptian official confirmed the details, the agency reported.
Under the terms of the truce, Hamas will release one Israeli hostage for every three Palestinian prisoners Israel frees. Israel has suggested that the cease-fire might be extended one day for every 10 additional hostages released.
But Israel has vowed to continue its war to eradicate Hamas once the cease-fire has expired.

The terrorist group Hamas on Saturday reportedly accused Israel of violating the terms of a cease-fire deal and said it is delaying the release of any more hostages.
Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades said it will not release any more hostages until Israel commits to permitting aid trucks to enter northern Gaza, Reuters reported.
Israel did not issue an immediate response. Earlier, an Israeli military spokesperson had told France's BFM television station that, barring last minute changes, 13 Israeli hostages were expected to be freed, per Reuters.
Israel was expected to release 39 more Palestinian prisoners in return.
Under the terms of the temporary cease-fire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas, the terror group would release 50 hostages taken in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel in exchange for 150 Palestinian prisoners. Israel would also permit humanitarian aid to be delivered into the Gaza Strip for the duration of the four-day cease-fire.
Fifty trucks carrying humanitarian aid including food, water and medical supplies were sent to the northern Gaza Strip during the truce between Israel and Hamas that began on Friday, Israel said earlier.
Reacting to the report, former USS Cole Commander Kirk Lippold said, "You cannot trust terrorists."

They only call for a “ceasefire” (unilateral surrender) by Israel. (To appease their bottom-feeding BLM and Hamas base, including at the Biden State Department.) 12:45 PM · Nov 25, 2023

"Three Palestinians were injured by Israeli fires, two of them sustained abdominal injuries, and one in the thigh," said Palestine TV.
They were the Jenin Government Hospital and Ibn Sina Hospital that came under Israeli attack.
Tensions have been running high across the West Bank since the fighting broke out between Palestinian groups and Israel in Gaza on Oct. 7.

15 minutes ago 13 Israelis, seven foreign nationals to be released ‘tonight’: Qatar By Olivia Land
Thirteen Israelis and seven foreign nationals are expected to be released by Hamas “tonight,” Qatar announced after hours of delay.
Hamas also confirmed that the deal was moving ahead after initially claiming that Israel reneged on the terms of the four day ceasefire exchange.
An Israeli official previously said they were “cautiously optimistic” that the deal could go down as promised.
The original plan was for at least 13 Israeli hostages to be released in exchange for 39 Palestinian prisoners.

an hour ago Israeli defense minister pledges IDF will remain in Gaza until all hostages released By Olivia Land
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant toured the Gaza Strip Saturday, and pledged that the Israel Defense Forces will remain in the area until all the hostages are returned, Haaretz reported.
Any negotiations for the hostages’ release will take place during “times when the bombs are falling and the forces are fighting,” Gallant added – despite the current four-day ceasefire.
"Israel's ability to bring back the first group of hostages stems from the military pressure applied,” he insisted.
“When pressure is exerted – they want a ceasefire; when you increase the pressure – they seek another ceasefire; when you escalate further – they are willing to come up with a proposal, and when you increase it even more – they're ready to offer something acceptable. That's the whole approach."

i24NEWS English reposted Ariel Oseran @ariel_oseran Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan, speaking from Beirut, claims the number of aid trucks that arrived in northern Gaza today is “less than half than what was agreed upon” under the ceasefire agreement.
“We emphasize our commitment to the success of the agreement signed with Qatari and Egyptian mediation, as long as Israel is also committed to it.”
More from Hamdan: “Until this moment, Israel has not met its obligations in the cease-fire agreement, neither by security violations and shooting at Palestinians nor by aid trucks that were supposed to reach the northern Gaza Strip, or by "messing" with the names of the Palestinian prisoners, women and children, who were supposed to be released, in a way that puts the agreement in jeopardy.”

Israel's Foreign Ministry has criticized the United Nations for not discussing the sexual violence that took place the day Hamas attacked the country on Oct. 7.
“For almost 50 days UN Women has been SILENT on the rape, murder and kidnapping of hundreds of Israeli women and girls. Seven weeks later and all they can muster is ‘alarm.’ Disgraceful,” the Foreign Ministry said in a tweet.
Yesterday, UN Women's X account announced it was "remains alarmed by the reports of gender-based violence" from the day of the attack. The international organization called for an investigation into the reports.
National Council of Jewish Women CEO Sheila Katz said the UN failed to "explicitly address the severity of the terrorist attack" and the "torture and rape of women."
The Ministry's Deputy Director General for Public Diplomacy, Emmanuel Nahshon said the UN should "should hide forever in shame," in a tweet.
He went on to say the UN has behaved like "cowardly hypocrites" since Hamas deadly October 7 terrorist attacks.
"You have sold your souls to the devil," Nahshon charged.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has been slammed by critics on X for not mentioning that Emily Hand, who was released Saturday by Hamas, had been kidnapped by the terrorist group.
"This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered," the PM posted on X.
"This is how you describe a little girl who went missing during a stroll in a forest, then gets discovered by a friendly hiker. Not a girl brutally abducted by death squads that brutally massacred her neighbors," Israeli government spokesperson, Eylon Levy, said on X.
"Emily Hand was not ‘lost’ or mislaid. This is NOT an Oscar Wilde play," the Irish Jewish Voice wrote.
"You're simply scum," one wrote.
Another wrote: "Why can't you simply state that Emily Hand was kidnapped by terrorists? Hamas got you by the short hairs? Quisling."
Varadkar has not responded publicly to the backlash.
