This plan is significantly better than previous Trump proposals (e.g. no ethnic cleansing, abolishing GHF, no occupation or annexation, decommissioning not disarmament...)
Yet it's filled with negatives, explosive mines & loopholes that'd allow Netanyahu to occupy Gaza forever🧵
❗️BREAKING❗️Rescuers killed in line of duty.
Scenes like this unfold every moment in Gaza, often unseen, largely undocumented. I beg STATES: how much more must be witnessed before you act to stop this carnage?
🔴Break the blockade
🔴Impose an Arms Embargo
🔴Impose Sanctions.
BREAKING: Haaretz Confirms Israeli Soldiers Ordered to Fire on Unarmed Starving Civilians at Aid Sites
A major Haaretz investigation confirms Israeli soldiers in Gaza were ordered to shoot at unarmed Palestinians gathering near food distribution sites — even when they posed no threat. Soldiers described the areas as a “killing field,” noting: “There’s no enemy, no weapons.”
Here are some of the most important findings from the report:
➛ IDF officers say the killings aren’t isolated mistakes but part of a pattern dubbed “Operation Salted Fish” — the Israeli version of Red Light, Green Light. “We shoot, they run, we shoot again,” one soldier said. “This is our communication.”
➛ At least 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 wounded near these aid centers since May 27, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Many were waiting for UN food trucks.
➛ Testimonies reveal Israeli commanders instructed troops to open fire on civilians approaching aid sites before they opened or after they closed — using machine guns, mortars, and grenades. Soldiers described systematic live fire, including from tanks.
➛ One officer said they fire “to signal to the population that this is a combat zone.” Soldiers reported casualties every day. Another soldier recalled being told to fire a shell at a crowd “to send a message.”
➛ Israeli soldiers said demolition crews are often present at aid sites — and that private contractors are being paid to level homes nearby. One fighter said, “People are being killed so someone can knock down a house and get paid.”
➛ IDF officers told Haaretz the army suppresses footage from these sites, believing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) helps preserve “international legitimacy” for the war.
➛ Israel’s military prosecution has ordered the General Staff’s Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism to investigate the shootings for possible war crimes.
➛ The aid centers are run by the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which was set up by Israel with help from pro-Trump evangelical figures in the U.S.
The Times has published an article urging war on Iran which is co-authored by someone who is wanted by the ICC for war crimes.
A new low for the British media.
THREAD: On 11 June GHF, the US-Israeli project to seize control of humanitarian relief efforts in the Gaza Strip from specialized international agencies, in order to further Israel’s genocidal agenda, issued a press release. In it, GHF claimed that a bus “carrying more than two dozen” Palestinians working for the project was “brutally attacked by Hamas”, with “at least five fatalities” and “multiple injuries”, and that others “may have been taken hostage”. GHF additionally claimed the attack “did not happen in a vacuum”, because “For days, Hamas has openly threatened our team”.
