Literally took one 20 min phone call in which Biden demanded immediate ceasefire & threatened to cut off aid, & magically a border opens providing critical humanitarian aid to Gaza.
USA always had this leverage. Meanwhile 32K Palestinians killed. smh
This is good news as far as it goes. However it remains to be seen how far #israel will go to implement what has been agreed and how quickly. Will the customs authorities in #ashdod - who report to #BezalelSmotrich - actually allow shipments through or will some way - no doubt entirely coincidental and inadvertent - be found to delay or even block them? Assuming that they do get through to the crossing points will they be able to enter #gaza or will demonstrators block them?
Also today: an Israeli airstrike hit a Palestinian ambulance, that was attending to people who were victims of a previous Israeli bombing.
At least four people died.
You didn't hear about it because brown lives don't matter to the Western media. The "Biden strongarms Netanyahu into helping Palestinians" headline is for the sake of American and Israeli public relations only.
Don't get too excited about Biden saving Palestine with a series of magical phone calls.
@QasimRashid Now lets see how long they stay open and how many trucks are allowed through and what actually gets distributed. North Gaza needs ~200 tons a day simply not to starve further (coincidentally, that was about what the WCK barge carried).
Wouldn't surprise me if this is a F-off for the media to break the news cycle attention and a week from now if goes back to the indiscriminate mk84 bombing and death by starvation.
