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
4\ After Oct 7, Qatar offered the US to end Hamas' presence in the country, but the Biden administration refused & asked Doha to keep hosting Hamas
Hamas' Doha office has always been central to mediation & deescalation efforts in 2014, 2019, 2021, 2023... timesofisrael.com/qatar-emir-pro…
5\ Qatar is also hosting the largest US military base & is a very close ally of Washington
Israel's attack on Doha today to kill Hamas' negotiating team in the midst of ceasefire/hostage release negotiations is another clear sign Netanyahu has no redlines & is fully rogue!

Last time Israel raided & took over Nasir hospital, they executed doctors, patients, children & elderly after chaining their hands & legs!
Mass graves were discovered when Israel left the area. The atrocity was so shocking, the US demanded answers (that Israel never gave)🧵
2\ Bodies in the mass grave showed gunshot marks in the head & tied hands, some buried in patient gowns, including children.
3\ Amongst the bodies discovered in the mass grave was that of a girl whose leg was amputated after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike. Her family says she was still alive at the hospital when Israel raided it
Israeli propagandists got their marching orders: blame Egypt for Israel's famine in Gaza. So here are the facts🧵
1- Egypt doesn't control its borders with Gaza, Israel does b/c it occupies Rafah (as Ravid points out)
Israel is NOT allowing ANY food to come from Egypt into Gaza
2- Israel fully depopulated all of Rafah & most of Khan Younis.
If Egypt sends any trucks into Gaza, there are NO Palestinians on the other side to receive it, there's only IDF troops in those dark purple coloured areas (& Israel's proxy Abu Shabab gang that loots aid)!
3- From the start of the genocide, Israel explicitly told Egypt it would bomb any aid convoys that cross from the Rafah crossing into Gaza
Israel then bombed the Rafah crossing multiple times to emphasize that threat & shut the crossing down aa.com.tr/en/middle-east…
🚨Debunking Israel's talking points about over 83% of causalities in Gaza being civilians🧵
Claim 1: "The 8,900 figure only includes Hamas militants targeted in intelligence-led precision strikes, not those killed in combat"
False! IDF standard procedure is to photograph bodies of Gazans killed in the field, e.g. in designated "extermination zones" or in combat, & collecting details such as ID cards or phones from the bodies.
Soldiers then send those pictures & confiscated belongings to the Israeli intelligence "to verify militant status." Less than 5% of those causalities are identified as Hamas after intel analysis.
Claim 2: "Hamas admitted in Feb 2024 losing 6,000 fighters, so 8900 by May 2025 is an undercount"
Hamas never made that statement! They immediately & officially denied its veracity & called out the outlet that attributed it to an unnamed anonymous Hamas source!
Claim 3: "8,900 killed militants is an underestimate"
No! It's an overestimate; this is the same database that listed Anas Al-Sharif, Ismael al-Ghoul, Hassan Islaih & others are "Hamas militants"
Israel's database also includes people who have long ceased to have any combatant role (e.g. veteran wounded in previous wars, people who quit Hamas or the Qassam, people who deserted their positions & fled... none of those would be regarded as militants under the laws of war).
Additionally, Israel's database designates someone as a militant in Gaza based on intel, probability, social media, intercepted calls, whatsapp groups, old & new Hamas documents... It's not a conclusive database of who is a militant, but an estimation of who Israel considers to be "highly likely" a militant.
Just went through all of Anas al-Sharif's messages on Oct 7, 2023, no such messages exists.
Telegram doesn't even put the date on messages.
Israel is so desperate to justify murdering Gaza's top journalist, but all they have are doctored docs, fake screenshots & a picture he took *as a journalist* with Gaza's rulers.
Even if Anas wrote this fake message, even if he took selfies with every single Hamas leader on the face of earth, even if he was once a militant in 2017...
NONE of this would justify murdering him! Israel didn't provide any evidence Anas was actively taking part in hostilities or combat!
This was Anas’s message history on that day. Notice there’s nothing at 15:49, there’s no date on the message
Folks are asking what does Netanyahu’s occupation plan mean, since Israel already occupies Gaza?
It means implementing the notorious “Generals Plan” to Gaza city, Deir al-Bala & Nusairat; the only last 3 areas Israel hasn’t fully wiped out & where most Gazans are sheltering🧵
2\ The “Generals Plan” is ethnic cleansing (per Israel itself) done in 5 steps:
Fully encircle & besiege a city
Cut food & water & take hospitals & other vital services out
Bomb incessantly by air, land & sea
Invade gradually & force people out at gunpoint
Flatten everything
3\ Israel tested the "Generals Plan" in Northern Gaza in late 2024
There were around 150,000 Gazans there at the start
IDF surrounded them, cut off all food & water for over 100 days, gradually advanced from all directions, forced people out until only about 12,000 were left.
