Israeli airstrikes killed dozens of people including two families in both Gaza and Lebanon, while Hezbollah fired a volley of 55 rockets into northern Israel in response.
World leaders urged restraint and tried to frame the ceasefire negotiations as heading in a positive direction.
But in an interview with Sky News, the leader of Hamas in Lebanon told us no progress had been made so far at the talks and the two sides appear to be just as far apart as ever.
Hamas is not at the negotiations but messages and updates have been passed on to them on the sidelines.
I firmly believe that there won’t be peace as long as Israel exists on Palestinian land. And before people claim random stuff on what I say; sure Israel can exist but not on Palestinian land while genociding the native people. For example, US is their biggest enabler and supporter… So perhaps they can allow Israel to exist within US.
I know, it’s wishful thinking.
sure Israel can exist but not on Palestinian land
And not as an ethnostate. No matter which ethnicity is favored, establishing and maintaining an ethnostate necessitates violent oppression and persecution of other ethnicities.
I take it you’d support the dismantling of all ethnostates then?
Yes. Nationalism is unnatural. Middle Eastern cities for the longest of times hosted people from diverse backgrounds. Even the tiny little Gaza has churches from different Christian sects that stood for centuries until Israel bombed them.
Every Arab country has some religious or ethnic or linguistic minority. Even Saudi Arabia has indigenous people who don’t speak Arabic, Faifi is one indigenous Semitic language spoken. And it also has religious minorities that aren’t Sunni Muslims. Saudi Arabia is not an ethnostate, all the diverse people are equally Saudi but it does privilege Najdis and Najdi culture.
Israelis are only good at killing civilians. They can’t defeat an armed resistance so they take it out on women and children.
The region has been cursed by the worst invaders since the Mongols.
Says Hamas.
No militants ever die. No tunnels are ever bombed. Every casualty is a an innocent kid, doctor, and aid worker.
They have even less credibility than the IDF, which tells the truth at least sometimes.
Maybe if Hamas would follow a single international law or custom and put their soldiers in uniforms there wouldn’t be so many dead women and kids, do you think?
Genocide apologist
No, this is exactly what they’ve wanted all along. Hamas was just an excuse that Bibi has been building for decades
Yes, talks about a second Nakba went mainstream a couple of years before the attack.

So ignoring intelligence on a coming attack was intentional.
