US Secretary of State Antony Blinken asked leaders in Israel to disavow plans to lay siege to northern Gaza but they refused. This is referred to as the General’s Plan and the U.S. really wanted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to deny it but, according to The Times Of Israel, “he and his aides demurred.”
Israeli soldiers told Haaretz last week that this plan is already underway. One soldier said this: “The goal is to give the residents who live north of the Netzarim area a deadline to move to the south of the Strip. After this date, whoever will remain in the north will be considered an enemy and will be killed.”
The U.S. has to pretend not to know this while they ask for a ceasefire and hostage exchange in Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel claims that it has proof that at least six Al Jazeera journalists are Hamas. According to the Times of Israel, “Al Jazeera has fiercely denied Israel’s allegations and accused it of systematically targeting Al Jazeera employees in the Gaza Strip.”
Recently a 19 year-old journalist was killed by the IDF in Gaza just days after he said he had been warned to stop filming in the region.
