⚡️A security source in the resistance to Al-Jazeera:
It became clear that the musta'ribeen force (undercover "israeli" unit) east of Rafah are agents for the occupation, tasked with sweeping, monitoring resistance fighters, and looting aid.
The elements of the musta'ribeen force belong to the gang of the so-called Yasser Abu Shabab and are working with the occupation army inside Rafah.
We will deal with agents and others firmly, and we will consider them part of the occupation, no matter how much they hide under its protection.
🇺🇸🇳🇱 USA sanctions on the ICC:
- British barrister Karim Khan chief prosecutor lost access to email, after Microsoft turned it offf.
- His bank accounts have been frozen too.
- Some non-governmental organisations have stopped working with the ICC and the leaders of one will not even reply to emails from court officials.
Since Trump’s sanctions, the court’s staff, including other top judges, have suffered severe restrictions on their work and personal lives.

I Andrei Belousov vient d’être nommé Ministre de la Défense. C’est une nomination importante à la fois du fait de l’homme mais aussi pour ce que cela signifie politiquement. #Fil ou #Thread sur ce sujet.
🚨BREAKING: HAMAS STATEMENT - CEASEFIRE NEGOTIATIONS IN CAIRO.
Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh:
—
''Firstly: In confirmation of the seriousness and positivity of the movement before the current round of negotiations, a series of communications were held with the brother mediators and with the resistance factions, and intensive meetings and consultations were conducted both internally and externally before sending the delegation to Cairo, carrying its positive and flexible positions, emphasizing that the priority for the movement is to stop the aggression against our people, which is a fundamental and logical stance, and lays the groundwork for establishing a more stable future.
What is the concept of an agreement if not a ceasefire being its first result?
Secondly: The world has become hostage to an extremist government, which has a vast amount of political problems and crimes committed in Gaza, whose leader wants to invent perpetual excuses for continuing the aggression and expanding the scope of the conflict, sabotaging the efforts made through mediators and various parties.
America, which has provided cover for this occupation, is the one that should be stopping it instead of supplying it with weapons of destruction and genocide.
Thirdly: The Hamas movement is still keen on reaching a comprehensive and phased agreement that ends the aggression, ensures withdrawal, and achieves a serious prisoner exchange deal.

Ireland Prime Minister tells US President Biden his country stands with Palestine.
"We see our history in the eyes of the Palestinians, a story of displacement, deprivation, a denied national identity, forced migration, discrimination, and now hunger."
I rarely praise the Guardian but this is a extraordinary visual investigation of the sheer level of destruction in Gaza:
https://t.co/WkegK6bF5f
Absolutely crystal clear when you look through it that the objective is to render the place utterly inhabitable, and destroy Palestinian civil society. Places destroyed are homes, mosques, schools, hospitals, cemeteries, historical landmarks, supermarkets, etc. Everything that makes up a community.
Complete disconnect from the stated goal of fighting Hamas.

Israeli intelligence secretly surveilled officials in Gaza’s Health Ministry to check if their data on the number of civilians killed in Gaza is 'reliable', Israeli intelligence sources told us.
The army found the numbers are reliable and now regularly uses them internally in intelligence briefings.
According to two sources, Israeli intelligence has no good independent measure of the total number of civilians the army killed in Gaza, making the Health Ministry's data their main source of information.
One reason for this is that officers conducted hundreds of AI-directed assassination strikes against suspected low-level Hamas operatives, usually by destroying entire homes and killing entire families – a practice we previously termed a 'mass assassination factory’. There was often no bomb damage assessment (BDA) for these strikes, meaning there was no check on who and how many civilians were killed. This routine post-strike check was skipped to 'save time'.
'I don’t know how many people I killed as collateral damage. We only check that information for senior Hamas targets,' one source said. 'In other cases I didn’t care. I immediately moved on to the next target. The focus was on creating as many targets as quickly as possible. That’s why I trust the Health Ministry in Gaza more than the IDF for these statistics. The army just doesn’t have the information.'

150 years since her birth, Rosa Luxemburg is often remembered more as a martyr than a theorist. But as a teacher at a socialist party school she taught worker-militants to see the world like a Marxist. https://t.co/oM9cViMDzd
The Greek government has been wilfully violating international law and condemning migrants to drowning in the Aegean Sea. With the full support of Brussels. On behalf of MeRA25 and DiEM25, a big Thank You to Forensic Architecture for exposing this - again. NEVER IN OUR NAME!
The de facto Yemeni government has announced they are fulfilling their obligations under Article 1 of the convention on the prevention of genocide. They say that the blockade of Israeli-bound ships in the Red Sea will end when the attempted genocide ends https://t.co/1sAW8LlmkX
Our dear dear John Pilger has left us. He was one of the greats. A consistent ally of the dispossessed, John dedicated his life to telling their stories and awoke the world to the greatest injustices. He showed great empathy for the weak and was unflinching with the powerful. John was one of Julian’s most vocal champions but they also became the closest of friends. He fought for Julian’s freedom until the end.
“We are all Spartacus if we want to be”, he wrote in his last published piece. This was John, challenging us until the end. Let’s always seek to rise to the challenge. Thank you, dear friend.

“Israel claims it protects civilians, but a NYT investigation found that at least 200 times Israel dropped its most destructive bombs in areas it designated as safe for civilians in Gaza.”
200 Times! That’s no accident—it’s policy. Horrific. #CeasefireNOW
