Summary
ꞏ Israel says it aims for ‘operational control’ in parts of Gaza
ꞏ Latest airstrikes killed at least 130 Palestinians, medics say
ꞏ No progress reported in indirect ceasefire talks in Qatar
Ah, the headlines only mentioning basic aid to Gaza make more sense now
Predicting it now:
This aid will only be allowed into the south of Gaza. Between food and a ground assault, they’ll have the carrot and the stick to push Palestinians out of the north, which they’ll then
annex“occupy indefinately”.It’ll be about ten minutes before they go back on their word.
Nah, they will drop food then shoot at anyone going to get the food while saying anyone getting the food is from Hamas and stealing the aid from starving Palestinians.
They will be careful not to actually say Palestinians because they wouldn’t want to admit they are anything more than secondary targets.
