1/🧵 Netanyahu’s latest statements all but torpedo Trump’s Gaza peace plan.
As reported by @AmichaiStein1, Netanyahu appears to have laid out new conditions that directly contradict key provisions of the Trump-brokered proposal (Oct 5, 2025) & gut its core: ceasefire, hostage release in 72 hours, IDF withdrawal, Palestinian-led governance, multinational force for demilitarization. He’s twisting it into occupation

Below is my breakdown of where they clash & why his stance could sink the deal before it even starts. 2/ Trump’s plan: all hostages (20 alive, 28 bodies) freed in 72 hours to start withdrawals. Netanyahu: “No progress until every hostage returns.” Many are unrecoverable after two years of war. Hamas agreed to release Oct 3, but Israel’s airstrikes resumed. Stalling tactic. #HostageDeal

🚨Hamas has formally issued a written response to Trump’s ceasefire “proposal.”
It’s… surprisingly diplomatic, & dare I say, politically shrewd.
Because rather than rejecting it outright, Hamas flipped the table: they accepted the key humanitarian points: end of war, aid entry, prisoner exchange, rejection of displacement, but under conditions that expose Israel’s refusal to do the same.
Now Trump can’t claim they oppose peace, & Netanyahu looks like the obstacle.
That’s checkmate diplomacy.Image The document explicitly:
• Welcomes Trump’s “efforts”
• Calls for an immediate ceasefire
• Approves prisoner exchange for both “living & remains”
• Rejects the occupation & Gaza’s displacement
• Backs a technocratic administration under Palestinian consensus

In other words: it places Hamas within a diplomatic framework, not outside it.

🚨 BREAKING:🚨 According to @SkyNews, the White House plan would place Gaza under a transitional government headed by Donald Trump, with a role for Tony Blair.

Trump’s 20-point plan also calls for hostage releases, prisoner swaps, & “safe passage” for Hamas fighters who choose to leave Gaza. 2/ The plan says: if both sides agree, the war will immediately end.
Israel would freeze military operations & pull back to agreed lines to enable a staged withdrawal and hostage release.

🔴IMPORTANT🔴:
A century after Western powers carved up the Middle East with a ruler, Tony Blair now proposes to “govern” Gaza under an international authority.

The draft plan, published in full by @haaretzcom, puts foreign elites on top, Palestinians on the bottom.

Here’s what is being proposed & what it means 🧵 Tony Blair, yes, the Iraq War criminal Tony Blair, now wants to be the colonial master of Gaza. Only, his Blair Plan for a “Gaza International Transitional Authority” looks less like self-rule & more like a neocolonial protectorate.

The structure? Foreign elites at the top, Palestinians at the bottom with Gaza being run by:
•An International Board of 7–10 foreigners.
•Names floated: UN envoy Sigrid Kaag, Apollo CEO Marc Rowan, Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, Trump ally Aryeh Lightstone.
•And of course, Blair himself as Chairman.

🚨 @washingtonpost scoop:🚨
Trump’s team is circulating a 38-page “GREAT Trust” plan for Gaza. It envisions a U.S.-run trusteeship for 10 years, turning the Strip into a “Riviera of the Middle East.” The catch? It begins with the “voluntary” relocation of 2M Palestinians. Genocide packaged as real estate.Image

2/ The Trump team’s “GREAT Trust” plan for Gaza envisions uprooting 2M+ Palestinians, either into sealed “secure zones” or “voluntary” relocation to Libya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somaliland, Indonesia & others. None of these countries have agreed, some are at war themselves. This isn’t policy, it’s a war crime dressed up as real estate.

🔴IMPORTANT🔴 Nabih Berri just dropped the hammer:
The latest US proposal to disarm Hezbollah is worse than the May 17 agreement, the same one Lebanon tore up in 1984 as a mark of national betrayal.
Hezbollah isn’t the threat. Capitulation is. 2/ Lebanon has fulfilled every part of UN Resolution 1701.
Israel has not.
Instead, it’s expanded its occupation, bombed civilians, and barred 30+ villages from returning.
But Washington wants us to disarm first?

🔴 Israel’s smear campaign against @AnasAlSharif0, before & after murdering him, is a textbook case of justifying a war crime.

Hours after Netanyahu announced the occupation of Gaza, Anas & 5 other journalists were killed.

Israel calls him a “Hamas militant.” But their own “evidence” blows that lie apart, & exposes a plan to kill journalists before the next phase of atrocities.

Let’s break it down. 🧵 1️⃣ Netanyahu announced the coming occupation of Gaza. Hours later, Anas al-Sharif & five other journalists were killed, targeted in a tent clearly known for press at Al-Shifa Hospital.
This is not coincidence. It’s part of a deliberate campaign to silence witnesses before the next phase of atrocities

Lebanon’s cabinet just signed off on Washington’s “ceasefire stabilization” plan.
Read the fine print, & you’ll see it’s not a peace plan, it’s a dismantling blueprint.
Here are the poison pills buried inside the clauses you just read 👇 Clause 1
“Exclusive state control over war/peace decisions & weapons.”
Sounds normal, if the state could defend its people.
In Lebanon, this means dismantling Hezbollah while the army remains under-armed & foreign-restricted.
No clause forces Israel to stop daily violations before disarmament.

🧵The Two-State Solution is Dead. What the world is offering Palestinians isn’t a state.

The concept of a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine is often presented as a path to peace, but it has become an empty promise, a diplomatic illusion that distracts from the reality of occupation and apartheid. This thread examines why the two-state solution was & is no longer viable, analyzing its historical promises, current realities, & inherent flaws.Image 1- All this talk of a two-state solution is delusion at best, distraction at worst.
Israel’s leadership has made it clear: it has no intention , ZERO, of allowing a sovereign Palestinian state, EVER.
Even Netanyahu has said it: “There is no post-war scenario that would lead to a Palestinian state.”
This collides with the idea of sovereignty.
This stance reveals a fundamental contradiction: a “state” without sovereignty is not a state, it’s a rebranded occupation.
Israel’s actions, settlement expansion, annexation policies, & daily violence, genocidal rhetoric, demonstrate that the system is designed to prevent Palestinian statehood, not enable it. It’s not a bug, it’s the system.
The rhetoric of a two-state solution persists as a diplomatic distraction, masking the reality of apartheid while offering Palestinians a hollow promise.
So what are you negotiating? A mirage? A hostage with a flag isn’t a state? Stop dressing up apartheid as diplomacy.Image

Since Brigitte Gabriel (@ACTBrigitte) is going viral again, thanks to a conveniently cropped clip that hides her being dismantled on live TV, here’s a thread on who she really is: a paid fearmonger, a fraud, & a walking PR operation. 🧵👇 1: Brigitte Gabriel, born Hanan Qahwaji, is a self-declared “Middle East expert” with a résumé that reads like it was ghostwritten by a Pentagon intern with a God complex & a copy of Orientalism they never finished.
She doesn’t analyse… she sells outrage. Fear is her currency, Islamophobia her product, & Israeli talking points her script.

🧵1/ A leaked investigation reveals the IAEA, the UN’s supposed nuclear watchdog, was infiltrated by a veteran MI6 spy tasked with orchestrating sanctions and covert operations against Iran.
The agency’s “neutrality” is a myth.👇
By @KitKlarenberg
@TheGrayzoneNews

tinyurl.com/yr9a8p54 2/ His name? Nicholas Langman, a British intelligence operative with a long record of dirty work.
He claims credit for helping engineer the West’s economic war on Iran & influencing the IAEA to justify sanctions and isolation.

NUCLEAR DEAL RECAP:
Obama brokered the Iran nuclear deal. Trump tore it up.
But in his second term, Trump reopened negotiations & Iran, despite everything, showed up.
Then came the Israeli strike, backed by Trump.
Now he’s demanding Iran return to talks?

You don’t bomb a country, kill & assassinate mid-negotiation & then expect a handshake.
#Iran #Trump #Hypocrisy At the time of the strike, Iran was still cooperating with IAEA inspectors.
There was no verified nuclear weapons program & the so-called threat was manufactured, a pretext to derail diplomacy.

This was never about peace. It was about control & when that failed, chaos followed.

IMPORTANT: 🧵The Nuclear Hypocrisy 🧵
1/ Everyone who is anyone, knows that Israel has an undeclared nuclear arsenal.
It has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), nor does it allow IAEA inspections.
Yet, it holds over 80 nuclear warheads, by most expert estimates. 2/ Meanwhile, & since 1992, it has told the world that Iran is “months away” from a nuclear bomb.
Every. Single. Year.
See the record below: 30+ years of fear-mongering, false predictions, & deliberate escalation. Image

🎯 The Double Standard—Missiles & Civilians

1/ Israel accuses Hamas & Hezbollah of “hiding weapons among civilians.” In fact, it goes as far as calling that a war crime.
But let’s take a look at Tel Aviv tonight. 👇 2/ Israel’s Iron Dome, Arrow, & David’s Sling batteries are stationed right in the heart of cities. Oh yes, next to homes, schools & hospitals.
Why? Because it maximizes interception range. It’s tactical & it works.

BREAKING: #Israel has launched Operation “Rising Lion”, a multi-site airstrike campaign deep inside #Iran. Netanyahu calls it a “targeted operation to remove the threat.” But the only threat Israel is removing is restraint.
Let’s be clear, this isn’t defense. It’s escalation.
1/🧵 2/ In his statement Netanyahu said:

“Operation ‘Rising Lion’ will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.”
Let’s be further clear:
Iran posed no imminent threat to Israel. This wasn’t a defensive action, it was a long-planned provocation aimed at entrenching permanent conflict.

1. Gaza is the 2025 version of a concentration camp.
Tens of thousands starved for 86 days. Then came “aid…” a chaotic, humiliating spectacle wrapped in barbed wire & guarded by American mercenaries.
Even they fled when desperation breached the fence. 2. Thousands of people starving for months, crammed together & treated inhumanely.
And do watch the American mercenary, perched on high, waving like he’s at a concert.
The image truly a dystopian mix of cruelty & performance,
unbelievable, but fully intentional. Image

🔴 Israel named its latest Gaza assault “Gideon’s Chariots.”
In Judges, Gideon leads a divine slaughter—120,000 dead. Chariots symbolized unstoppable war.
This isn’t just biblical branding. It’s an extermination campaign draped in scripture.
And Gaza is cast as the Midianites.
#GideonsChariots #GenocideInGaza @POTUS @Keir_Starmer @vonderleyen @EmmanuelMacron @MarkJCarney
You’re funding this, backing it & praising its “restraint.”
You are financiers of a scriptural bloodbath. While you see tanks, airstrikes, & charred children, Israel sees scripture being fulfilled.
Gaza isn’t just being bombed—it’s being biblically erased & you’re still applauding the chariots.

Douglas Murray’s (@DouglasKMurray) recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast—debating Gaza & Israel with David Smith (@DSmithComedian)—was difficult to endure.
Not just for its one-sided framing, but for how it echoed official Israeli talking points, wrapped in smug certainty & theatrical performance.
What follows is a breakdown 🧵of some of the contradictions behind that debate—and why they matter. 1. I’ve Been There” — A Misleading Claim
Murray dismisses critics by saying they “haven’t been to Gaza,” as if that disqualifies them from speaking.
But millions around the world have seen Gaza—through livestreams, footage, reporting, & testimony that have filled our screens daily for months.
His own visit was a guided military tour with the IDF—not independent, not journalistic, & far from exposure to civilian life under occupation.
This is not the same as “being there.” It’s controlled access through one lens.

Trump’s Tariff War (simplified:)
The Aftershocks Begin 🧵
Markets are collapsing.
Allies are retaliating.
And global trade is coughing up blood.
Here’s what’s happened since Trump reignited the economic firestorm: 2/ On April 2, Trump announced:
•10% base tariffs on all imports
•104% on Chinese goods
•46% on Vietnam
•26% on India
•20–49% on allies and rivals alike

This wasn’t strategy. It was an economic grenade.
