Not a Borat Sketch! The IDF Spokesman points to a random calendar at the Rantisi hospital as "evidence" of a "hostage keepers' list" with "terrorists' names".
But the ONLY thing on that "list" is literally the days of the week (Saturday-Friday).
No tunnels, no weapon stash...🧵
2\ Israel couldn't find any tunnels or weapons at the hospital, so they made up a new lie of "hostages were kept in the hospital's basement".
But how were those hostages transported out when IDF soldiers & tanks have been fully surrounding that hospital?
3\ The women's clothes, diapers, milk & improvised toilet are b/c 1000s of civilians sought shelter at the hospital.
The curtains are for video conferences & media appearances in that MEETING ROOM.
Again, if hostages were there, how were they moved out in front of your tanks?
4\ Israeli media immediately reports this hilarious IDF/Borat propaganda as a basic fact without bothering to ask a single Arabic speaker to verify the "terror list"!
If they so easily report this as a fact, what else have they been reporting without the slightest verification?
5\ The "weapon stash" trick is so old & obvious, it was openly advocated for by Israel's ex-Prime Minister Yair Lapid in 2010 to legitimize the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara Freedom Flotilla Ship where they killed 10 civilians that tried to break the naval blockade on Gaza!
6\ The "nearest tunnel" per the IDF own spokesman is 200 METERS away from the hospital, at a known Hamas member's home!
Nothing in the hospital itself!
That's if we even believe the IDF spokesman was showing the accurate distance & not doctoring footage!
7\ The IDF forcibly emptied the Rantisi Paediatric Hospital of all patients & refugees & took over it completely.
They inspected virtually every detail of the building & couldn't provide ANY hard evidence that there were tunnels inside the hospital or rockets/arms fired from it!

What's next for Gaza? 🧵
After the hostage release, Israel will hold onto a fully depopulated 58% of Gaza.
After an international force enters, Israel will hold onto 40% of Gaza where the IDF's proxy gangs will thrive!
Genocide or reconstruction? The devil is in the details!
2\ Right now, the 58% beyond the yellow line is not only under IDF control, it's fully depopulated. Any Gaza civilian that tries to enter is shot on sight. Israel killed 35 Gazans in the first 24 hours of the ceasefire.
Israel is planning to hold onto those areas for a long time
3\ Israel's proxy gangs (e.g. Abu Shabab, Husam al-Astal, Ashraf Mansi) are all currently hiding in the 58% of Gaza the IDF is stationed in
Israel cultivated those gangs to create "gated communities" (concentration camps) to push Gazans into.
Now with the ceasefire, Israel is using those gangs to launch attacks on Hamas deep inside Gaza without the IDF having to invade.
This is Israel's way of saying "we're not violating the ceasefire, it's Palestinians killing Palestinians."
Israel will also try to get Gazans to move into those areas with promises of a better life while the other half of Gaza remains reduced to rubble. kan.org.il/content/kan-ne…
This plan is significantly better than previous Trump proposals (e.g. no ethnic cleansing, abolishing GHF, no occupation or annexation, decommissioning not disarmament...)
Yet it's filled with negatives, explosive mines & loopholes that'd allow Netanyahu to occupy Gaza forever🧵
2\ Positives:
The infamous GHF would be abolished since the plan says aid will only be distributed by groups "not associated in any manner with either party" (GHF is an IDF front).
Full suspension of "all military operations" (e.g. bombing) & immediate end to the war
3\ Trump's plan now talks about decommissioning instead of disarmament. There's a major difference; the latter connotes surrender, whereas decommissioning is gradual, tied to a political process & includes reintegration of militants into security sector ecfr.eu/article/decomm…
The US & Israel are the ones who asked Qatar to host Hamas' political (NOT military) leadership to maintain indirect dialogue with them
When Qatar asked Hamas' leadership to leave in Nov 2024 & suspended their office in Doha, Trump asked them to reopen it again & re-host Hamas🧵
2\ Netanyahu just broke this arrangement & bombed Doha to target Hamas negotiators in the midst of their discussion of Trump's latest ceasefire proposal
In March 2025, Netanyahu killed Hamas entire negotiating team in Gaza (e.g. Salah Bardawil, Essam Da'alees, Ismael Barhoum, Abu Obaida al-Jimassi)
3\ Netanyahu killed Hamas' negotiating team inside Gaza in March 2025 while they were discussing Witkoff's proposal to extend the ceasefire
Similarly, Israel killed Hamas' top negotiator Ismael Haniya in July 2024 right after he accepted Biden's ceasefire/prisoner swap proposal
