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!

3- Negotiating a possible long-term truce for 5-7 years that entails full cessation of "offensive military operations" by both sides
4- Allowing Gazans to travel out of & back to Gaza freely through the Rafah crossing & resuming commercial goods & trade
5- Finalising reconstruction arrangement & plans during the negotiations on ending the war & providing aid to Gazans affected by the war.
6- Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip to be implemented over 3-5 years (i.e. the widely endorsed Egyptian plan); under the supervision of a number of countries & organizations, including Egypt, Qatar, & UN.
6- Ceasefire would continue automatically after the 60 day pause if Israel & Hamas are still negotiating by then (this was a basic condition in the Jan 19 ceasefire agreement Netanyahu signed).
7- Hamas would release 10 Israeli captives & 18 bodies during the 60-day pause, & will release all remaining captives as soon as the final phase is agreed upon (i.e. ending the war).
Most of those points were ALREADY in the outline Hamas reached with Trump's negotiating team last week before Netanyahu rejected that proposal completely out of hand & forced Witkoff to take those items off
3\ The main changes between Witkoff's latest outline & Hamas' response are:
1- Witkoff's proposal says the 60-day pause would be extended "under conditions" & for "a duration agreed upon by the parties", which basically means after the 60 days are over, Netanyahu would say give me the remaining captives for another 60 days (that's how he did it last March).
Hamas's response says the 60-day pause should be renewed if negotiations are still ongoing (which is literally what the Jan 19 agreement stipulated, which Israel signed & agreed to & the US guaranteed).
2- Witkoff's latest proposal says Hamas would release the 10 Israeli captives & 18 bodies within one week of the 60-day ceasefire starting (what would guarantee Israel wouldn't end the ceasefire right after that week?)
Hamas says they'd release 4 of alive captives on day 1, two of them on day 30, & 4 on day 60, to ensure Israel's compliance with the terms of the agreement (Israel violated the last agreement over 960 times).
3- Witkoff's latest proposal says Hamas & Israel would negotiate the permanent ceasefire on day 1 of the this 60-day pause going into effect. It says the topics the two sides would negotiate *include*:
- Keys & terms of prisoner swap for the remaining captives
- Israel's withdrawal and redeployment
- Long-term security arrangements within Gaza
- "Day after" arrangements
Hamas removed the word "including" since it's a loophole that allows Netanyahu to add more demands last minute to sabotage the talks. They defined the terms of the negotiations to be about:
- Keys & terms of prisoner swap for the remaining captives
- *Full* Israeli withdrawal from Gaza (not redeployment)
- Day after arrangements which are; Hamas handing over control in Gaza immediately to a technocratic independent committee & full cessation of "offensive military operations" by both sides for 5-7 years (to give room for PA-Israeli peace negotiations).
🚨Conclusive evidence of Israel running the very criminal gangs looting aid in Gaza🧵
Hamas released footage today of an ambush against what they thought were Israeli Mista'arvim (undercover) soldiers in Rafah
But upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Abu Shabab's gang; the Israel-backed warlord, drug dealer, & serial criminal responsible for looting the vast majority of aid under full IDF protection.
Abu Shabab runs a gang of 100-200 armed mercenaries who sat up a military complex in Rafah with Israel's backing
In the footage, Abu Shabab's mercenaries were walking around a depopulated Rafah freely carrying weapons in front of Israeli troops (currently any Palestinian that walks into Rafah is killed on the spot).
The mercenaries were conducting surveillance activities for Israel of those areas.
2\ From the Hamas footage, a senior Abu Shabab gang leader is identified; Ghassan Al-Dahini is the mercenary running the gang's operation on the ground
He survived this ambush & is believed to still be running the Israel-backed gang
3\ In mid-April, exactly when this ambush was carried out, a facebook group posted the names of 4 armed individuals that were killed in Rafah while "conducting work"
They were ex-officers of the PA security forces
They are the ones seen killed in the Hamas video above
🚨Thousands of starved Gazans storm the dystopian Israeli-American aid complex in Rafah after being forced to stand in endless queues & bake in the sun in a fenced concentration camp while being subjected to biometric surveillance
US mercenaries & Israeli troops are opening fire
2\ Israel's Kan reports the US mercenaries were likely the ones opening fire at the starved crowds, while reports from Gaza indicate Israeli troops also fired at the crowds
People were told to stand in queue all day while mercenaries pick & choose who gets aid & who starves
3\ Israel's channel 12 highlights reports that an Israeli helicopter began firing at the starved crowed, while the American mercenaries ran away
False! Mohammed Sinwar was (allegedly) killed within a radius of over 500 METERS from that Gazan hospital
Which is about the same distance the IDF Bunker/HQ in Tel-Aviv is located from the Azrieli Shopping Mall, Tel-Aviv Museum of arts & the Assuta Hashalom HOSPITAL🧵
2\ Israel indiscriminately carpet bombed Gaza's European hospital & its surrounding areas up to 500 meters with bunker buster missiles
Israel weaponizes a lethal gas that is a byproduct of those missiles to kill anyone inside targeted tunnels even if distant from the impact area
3\ Israel didn't know where Mohammed Sinwar was exactly, so they bombed the entire area with dozens of their heaviest rockets hoping one of them would hit the target.
Devil's in the detail: No! Israel didn't end its starvation policy in Gaza
They just decided to allow 3.3% of the bare minimum amount of aid necessary for human survival, & only temporarily for one week until they set up dystopian "hubs" in Rafah run by armed US mercenaries🧵
2\ Israel makes clear those dystopian aid "hubs" will be set up in Rafah, run by armed US mercenaries, equipped with facial recognition tech for massive surveillance & surrounded by Israeli checkpoints teeming with genocidal soldiers.
This is a trap/bait, not "humanitarian aid"!
3\ As I explained in detail in @zeteo_news: Israel's aid plan was condemned by the UN, EU diplomats, experts, & every single humanitarian org working in Gaza.
It's a sinister tool for institutionalizing starvation, forcible transfer & concentration camps! zeteo.com/p/trumps-extre…
Israel claims its alleged assassination attempt of Mohammed Sinwar will "boost hostage deal efforts" & "damage Hamas' capabilities"
Both claims are completely false & the opposite is the only likely result; those assassinations can only sabotage ceasefire talks, prolong war🧵
2\ Hamas currently operates in a decentralized way; each cell acts autonomously & independently from the other in terms of ambushing the IDF
The top Qassam leadership are superfluous, as there's no need for coordination, chain of command or central planning in guerrilla warfare!
3\ Even if Sinwar is gone (Israel still unsure), there are still multiple top Qassam commanders from the supreme military council alive (e.g. Raed Saad, Ezz al-Haddad, Mohammed Shabanna)
Decapitating Hamas' leadership has always failed as a strategy b/c there are many successors
