The Trump administration says that it supports Israel’s renewed attacks on Gaza, even with a reported 200 children killed.
The Trump administration “fully supports Israel and the IDF and the actions that they’ve taken in recent days,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
The White House company line is that Hamas violated the terms of the ceasefire, which is false. Israel reneged on the ceasefire and Israelis know it, which is why they are protesting.
Hamas began retaliating on Thursday, sending rockets into Tel Aviv. The Times of Israel reports that three long-range rockets were launched. Two struck open areas and one was intercepted by air defenses.
Israel’s attacks killed at least two Hamas leaders on Sunday, including Hamas leader Ismail Barhoum and a member of Hamas’s Political Bureau, Salah al-Bardawil. The attacks came near civilian and makeshift displacement camps.
Israel also says that it has begun annexing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip with a goal of removing between 5,000-10,000 people per day. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the goal is to remove all Palestinians within 6-12 months. Israel set up a “migration administration” to manage the project but they won’t go into Israel. Of course not. They are heading to Egypt where a “temporary” refugee camp will hold these people “while Gaza is rebuilt.”
The governments of Syria, Somalia, Somaliland, and Sudan all reported that the U.S. has approached them to receive Palestinian refugees too.
