Fair media reporting should never ever be attacked or banned. Targeting media and trying to silence their voice is one of the steps towards fascism, and that is exactly what israel has done and is still doing.

While it is a start, the amount of humanitarian aid israel is allowing in is a tiny fraction of what is really needed. The red crescent will have to prioritise the hospitals at this time most likely.

I believe one of the analysts on al jazeera said that the border crossing will only be open for humanitarian aid for about 6 hours? And also that rafah border crossing can't accommodate the big humanitarian aid trucks, so they have to use smaller trucks. So that also limits capacity of aid.

The big trucks usually go through the other border crossing that egypt shares with israel, but that one is closed. The name escapes me at the moment.

Edit: also, what the other commenter ssid is true; is it really going to happen this time? And will israel bomb this convoy of aid as well or will it be allowed to go to the palestinians in gaza?

The Anglican community and Anglican owners of the hospital and Doctors without Borders operating in Gaza have denied Israel's claim. They reiterated that it was an Israeli attack on the hospital

US President Joe Biden will once again emphasise Israel's “right and duty” to defend itself.

This is Egypt's reasoning as well. The US and Israel want Egypt to accept all the Palestinians in exchange for Israel opening and not bombing the border crossing.

Egypt said no, they have to allow humanitarian aid into south Gaza, and stop the bombing in south Gaza. And only dual citizens are allowed to leave.

South Gaza is where Israel said the Palestinians should evacuate to. Note that Israel is bombing north and south Gaza.

Israel is refusing. They want all the Palestinians out of their land.

I mean, this is the textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. Israel is commiting ethnic cleansing and genocide for everyone to see. They're not even being subtle about it in the language they've used at press conferences.

The US, European Union countries and their allies are willing accomplices to ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are absolutely complicit in the murder of Palestinian men, women and children.

Will any of them be denounced by the International criminal court? Are they going to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and the others for clearly commiting war crimes?

We all know the answer to that.

Edit: if Palestinians leave Gaza they would never be allowed to return. Israel will annexe that land like they've done with Palestinian land countless times before. And it will become the new normal to pretend that the land was always part of Israel.

What is Hamas going to do with a catholic priest? They want to exchange Israeli hostages for all the Palestinian men, women and children that Israel is holding hostage in Israeli prisons.

All the info i saw was from the live tv broadcasts. I'll have a look for written articles on their site, you can have a look at their site too, in the meantime, if you want to.
