Ukraine Begs for Aid
‘Israel’ Hayom has reported that some members of Congress have reviewed a plan to condition US aid to Arab countries on their willingness to accept refugees from Gaza, which would facilitate the ‘Israeli’ goal of cleansing the territory of the Palestinians. The proposal was shown to key figures in the House and Senate, but the report did not say who submitted the plan.
New disclosures continue to add to the growing body of evidence indicating many ‘Israelis’ who died on October 7 were killed by the ‘Israeli’ military. The ‘Israeli’ government continues to muzzle captives freed from Gaza to prevent further damage to the Jewish entity’s official narrative.
A Hamas leader and Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu both signalled that they might be close to reaching an agreement on Hamas releasing hostages in exchange for a short ceasefire. Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s senior political leader based in Qatar, said Hamas officials are “approaching a truce agreement” with Israel. Netanyahu said Israel was working on a hostage deal and that he hoped “we will have good news soon.”
Hamas’s armed wing said Monday that it discussed with Qatari mediators a deal to free up to 70 ‘Israeli’ hostages in exchange for a five-day ceasefire and the release of some Palestinian prisoners. “Last week there was an effort from the Qatari brothers to release the enemy captives from women and children, in return for the release of 200 Palestinian children and 75 women detained by the enemy,” said Abu Ubaida, spokesman for al-Qassam Brigades, according to Reuters.
