Netanyahu is losing the confidence of Israelis, his cabinet, leaders around the world…. who support Israel’s right to defend itself, but not his leadership, methods, schemes…
“This evidence of Israel's war crime of perfidy comes not from Palestinians but a RW Israeli newspaper: "the special force entered Nuseirat with a truck carrying 'furniture' for displaced persons....driven by a female soldier in civilian clothes."
-K Roth
"Benny Gantz resigns from Israel's war cabinet, delivering a blow to PM Benjamin Netanyahu who has been celebrating the rescue of hostages held in Gaza."
It's wonderful that the hostages were freed, but why was there no effort to protect civilians?
Largest hostage rescue op. since the latest war began, taking 4 to safety out of central Gaza amid the MIL’s heavy air & ground assault. At least 94 dead Palestinians,💔incl. children, were brought to local hospitals.
Israelis were jubilant as the army said it freed N Argamani, 25; A Meir Jan, 21; A Kozlov, 27; & S Ziv, 40 -all were well.
“The strike happened around 2 a.m. And from what we understand, there are between 35 & 45 people killed. Many of them are children.
We also remind that this being an UNRWA shelter, up to 6,000 people had sought refuge & safety inside that school”
“Land crossings are the safest and the fastest ways to get aid into the Gaza Strip. We’ve all been discussing for the longest time how many trucks a day have gone in. I want to say that the last month has been awful. Most of the days in May have seen zero trucks going in for the UN”
“A ceasefire is what everyone in Gaza needs right now, just to take a breath and have some respite. But in addition to the ceasefire, there has to be a much increased flow of humanitarian assistance going in”
‘One whistleblower shared photographs that showed Palestinians being strapped down, blindfolded and held in diapers at the site. Some prisoners had limbs amputated due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing.’
‘Spain has announced plans to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Spain joins other countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Egypt and Turkey, who have requested to join South Africa’s case’
~39 Dead. "IL MIL: made improper use of a US-made bomb in a deadly airstrike Thurs on a UN school compound in Gaza -current & fmr US DEF officials. GBU-39 small-diameter bomb -same kind of bomb that IL used in an airstrike last month that killed dozens of displaced civilians at a tent camp -#Netanyahu called a “tragic mishap.”
#Netanyahu has escalated his attacks. He has no regard for Pres Biden, will continue the war through yearend, esp. if his wish comes true, that #TFG wins... The famine is worse, there's a lack of water, not enough #humanitarianaid, #warcrimes & #IHL violations are more frequent...
MSF: "MIL strikes continued last night in the Middle Area, Al-Aqsa hospital is barely coping with the influx of patients and dead people. “It’s a scene of devastation. This hospital is a sinking ship.”
UN: honored the 188 personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty in 2023.
135 were women & men who worked for UNRWA, killed during Israeli MIL ops. in Gaza since #Oct7. Many were killed along with their families & within the comms. they served.
“By far the highest number of our personnel killed in a single conflict or nat. disaster since the creation of the UN -Sec-Gen Guterres reiterated his call for “full accountability” for the deaths. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/06/1150736
Multiple news sites report that the Netanyahu govt, via its MIN of Diaspora Affairs, ran a multi-M$ AI-powered disinfo. campaign designed to generate support for their Gaza war among US elected officials & gen. public.
