#Breaking: Lebanese Aljadid TV reports pressure on Qhamas leaders (Haniya, Musa Abu Marzouk, and Mashal) to persuade Mohammed Dief and Sinwar to seek political asylum in Algeria, coordinated with Qatar and the U.S. The plan involves integrating Qhamas under the Palestinian Authority's command, with control over Gaza. As of now, Sinwar rejects this proposal.

BREAKING:

Turkey has sentenced Syrian journalists Ahmed Rihawi & Alaa Farhat to 6 years in prison for a TV episode that shed light on Syrian civilians killed by Turkish forces on the border.

Their charges. “insulting the Republic of Turkey”

This is a total mockery of justice.

1] Despite @netanyahu false statements & the misleading propaganda spread by the media, the truth comes out; according to today's report on Israel’s official army radio station @GLZRadio, the military documented 200 incidents of violence by settlers in less than 2 months.

In December 2018, #Sudan erupted into a euphoric protest against former dictator Omar al-Bashir and his junta.

On the 5th anniversary of that protest, the RSF -- a relic of Bashir's legacy -- conquered Sudan's 2nd largest city and may soon capture the rest of the country.

Happy to announce that next week @OUPAcademic will publish my new book, "The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: What Everyone Needs to Know." In a concise Q&A format, the book explains the key events, examines the issues, and presents the conflicting views and narratives of both sides

5) Even if Israel eventually succeeds in defeating Hamas militarily, it will not destroy Hamas. Its military wing will go underground or reconstitute itself under a different name. It will remain in Gaza and the West Bank.

[Michael Gilead @Michael_Gilead]

Does anyone here believe that this could happen? asking seriously. Is there a chance that some credible mechanism to disarm Hamas preventing further 7/10's could work? I see a near-zero chance that they will agree (they haven't before). Am I wrong?

@RalphJanik Be resilient, stick to your guns! Thx for your many valuable contributions in this matter. And most of all, ignore the nay sayers, who seem to paint everything in black and white.

ThREAD 🧵
As a Gazan with 15 years of research on Hamas under my belt, I address the question: Can Hamas be eliminated? The straightforward answer is no. The methods Israel is using are unlikely to completely dismantle Hamas. Recent polls suggest a surge in support for Hamas in both Gaza and the West Bank, but this portrayal warrants skepticism and calrifications. 1/12
