Israel - Palestinian militants launch massive attack, 7 Oct 2023 #5

[Chimera]

I'm confused. Yesterday weren't there reports that a hospital was hit with 300 to 500 casualties? Today we see pictures of a few burned cars in a parking lot.

Lies ?

BREAKING: Israel’s war cabinet will allow the entry of humanitarian aid from Egypt following a request by U.S. President Biden, Israel’s PM office says. This will be limited to food, water & medicine for the civilian population. “Any supplies that reach Hamas will be thwarted.”

Ugh..Isn't Negev in Jewish Israel?

At first I "loved" the post, because I thought Negev was in Egypt, but it appears to be in Israel.

At least they have a safe place to go. It's a big step for Israel to house and feed them.

Haven't seen any of their Arab friends offer to take them in. Moo

Israel will not allow them to move to the Negev. There are many Israelis living there, universities. The Egyptian PM is the one who suggested this. Convenient.

How are they going to "thwart" the supplies from Hamas?

Thanks for the clarification !!! Things are moving fast.

I agree but then I see comments like this from WashPo and I don't understand what Hudson means. Why?

It looks like he's implying that Biden was blaming them.
So, had they not already cancelled, they would have after his comments. I think.
People tend to vague-tweet, so it's hard to know for sure.

US President Joe Biden in an address in Tel Aviv on Wednesday lamented the loss of life during the October 7 attacks in Israel by Hamas. But he also cautioned Israelis that while they may feel rage, they should not be consumed by it.

"I caution this. While you feel that rage, don't be consumed by it. After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. While we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes," he said
Biden also stressed that the "majority" of Palestinians are not with Hamas.
Wartime decisions are "never clear or easy," he said.

Biden also stressed that the "majority" of Palestinians are not with Hamas.
"The United States unequivocally stands for the protection of civilian life
during conflict. And I grieve, I truly grieve for the families who were killed or wounded by this tragedy," he added.

US President Joe Biden said Israel has agreed humanitarian assistance can cross into Gaza from Egypt, warning that any attempts by Hamas to steal the aid would illustrate it has "no concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people."

"Israel agreed the humanitarian assistance can begin to move from Egypt to Gaza," the president said.
"We're working in close cooperation with the government of Egypt, the United Nations and its agencies like the World Food Programme and other partners in the region to get trucks moving across the border as soon as possible," Biden said.

Today, I am also announcing $100 million in new U.S. funding for humanitarian assistance in both and the West Bank. This money will support more than 1 million displaced in conflict affected Palestinians, including emergency needs in Gaza.

Thank you!
I never understood why anyone would burn and destroy their own cities when they’re angry at Israel and US.

Wondering if the Doctors at the hospital were part of the ruse? Staging photo op with dead children blaming Israel?
Moo

Lots of plastic sheets covering bodies ?

I don't doubt for a second people are dying in that hospital, esp. if Hamas has stolen medical supplies --which I think is possible ?

Wasn't there a photo of a doll wrapped in a white sheet posed to be a deceased child in Gaza ?
Like someone upthread said, & I agree ! -- (paraphrased): This isn't a game.
Omo.

That's great to hear !

I think with the president visiting Israel, many embassies abroad need to either evac. or increase their security tenfold.
Don't get me wrong, it was good to see our potus visiting Israel, but the ignorant and uninformed masses who want to cause violence and harm will use any excuse to create mayhem !
Imo.

Its not a wasteland. It has many Israeli residents.

What he should’ve said is “Sure! Egypt will take Palestinian brothers and sisters”

Thank you. I stand corrected (should've done my homework before posting).

POTUS: "As the American president, there's no higher priority than the release and safe return of all these hostages"

"To those who are living in limbo, waiting desperately to learn the fate of a loved one, especially to families of the hostages. You're not alone. We're working with partners throughout the region, pursuing every avenue to bring home those who are being held captive by Hamas.

In Tel Aviv, Biden can be heard quietly telling grieving Israelis about his own painful life experiences of losing wife and daughter and son.

So sad.

No worries! The Negev isn’t usually news worthy.
