🧶1/ ANTI-ZIONIST JEWS—TIME FOR YOU TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT ANTI-SEMITISM YOU EXPERIENCE FROM JEWISH AND NON JEWISH. ZIONISTS 👇🏽

Statement on Discrimination, Antisemitism, and Civil Rights Violations Against Anti-Zionist Jewish Community Members Students and Faculty

Jewish students, faculty, and staff who express anti-Zionist or pro-Palestinian views face growing discrimination and harassment on campuses across the United States. This includes censorship of their speech, threats of disciplinary action, and, in some cases, threats of deportation for Jewish immigrants. These acts are justified under a misuse of Trump’s executive order on antisemitism (EO 13899) and definitions of antisemitism that conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with hatred of Jewish people.

This document is a resource to assert both civil rights and religious freedom, while also affirming that anti-Zionist Jews are entitled to the same protection from antisemitism as other Jewish individuals under constitutional law, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and broader principles of equal protection under the law. ANTI-ZIONIST JEWS FILE COMPLAINTS AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM AND YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS

🧶2/ The Issue of Misapplied Antisemitism Definitions
The executive order and other institutional policies often rely on definitions of antisemitism inspired by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). These definitions equate criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism, which creates a chilling effect on free speech and discriminates against anti-Zionist Jewish people. This policy framework ignores the fact that anti-Zionism has a long and legitimate history within Jewish religious and secular thought.

As Jewish people committed to justice, anti-Zionist individuals often express solidarity with Palestinians based on the moral lessons drawn from their own experiences of genocide, diaspora, and systemic oppression. Thousands do so based on their readings of the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish Religious Ethics . To label such views antisemitic erases the diversity of Jewish identity and marginalizes those who dissent from mainstream Zionist narratives.

🧵 1 ♦️The Imperialist Playbook: From Nicaragua to Syria—Weaponizing Division to Undermine Sovereignty, By @reneelevant

🧶 Remember The Contras in Nicaragua? ….

The United States has a long history of undermining governments it sees as a threat to its interests, often by manipulating existing divisions within those societies. Nicaragua in the 1980s and 90’s is a classic example,

.What the U.S. did there wasn’t about “spreading democracy”—it was about destabilizing a government that dared to challenge U.S. dominance in the region. And the way they went about it is a masterclass in how imperial powers operate to maintain control, even if it comes at the expense of the people they claim to “liberate.”

First, the U.S. exploits real tensions—ethnic, social, or political. In Nicaragua, for example, they focused on the grievances of the Miskito people, who had legitimate concerns about land rights and autonomy. But rather than working to address these issues constructively, the U.S. weaponized them to fuel opposition to the Sandinistas. This wasn’t about protecting the Miskito—it was about using their struggle as a tool to undermine the government.

Then comes the money and the guns. The U.S. poured resources into the Contras, a collection of anti-Sandinista forces who were anything but the noble “freedom fighters” Reagan made them out to be. These were groups that terrorized civilians, destroyed schools and health clinics, and deliberately targeted infrastructure designed to improve ordinary people’s lives. But none of that mattered, because their violence served U.S. goals. The message was clear: destabilize the government by any means necessary, and we’ll back you.

And let’s not forget the propaganda machine. The U.S. government, with the help of the media, painted the Sandinistas as authoritarian communists hellbent on oppressing their people. It didn’t matter that this was wildly oversimplified—or that the Sandinistas were trying to rebuild a country devastated by decades of dictatorship under Somoza, a regime the U.S. had happily supported. The narrative stuck, and it gave the U.S. cover to escalate its intervention.

Meanwhile, the economic warfare kicked into high gear. The U.S. imposed a trade embargo, blocked loans, and did everything it could to suffocate Nicaragua’s economy. Predictably, this created widespread suffering, and the Sandinistas, already stretched thin by the Contra war, had to centralize power just to survive. Of course, the U.S. used this as proof that the Sandinistas were undemocratic, conveniently covering over its own role in creating the chaos.

Continued 🧵2 ♦️ 🧵 2 ♦️The Imperialist Playbook: From Nicaragua to Syria—Weaponizing Division to Undermine Sovereignty, By @reneelevant

🧶 Remember The Contras in Nicaragua? Part 2….

The result? By the time the U.S.-backed opposition came to power in 1990, Nicaragua was exhausted. The neoliberal policies that followed erased many of the social gains the Sandinistas had made, deepening inequality and poverty. The people who suffered most were the same people the U.S. claimed to be helping.

This is a pattern we’ve seen over and over. The U.S. identifies a government it doesn’t like, plays up internal divisions, arms and funds violent opposition, and then points to the inevitable instability as justification for further intervention. The targeted government, no matter how well-intentioned, often becomes more repressive in response—because it’s hard to govern democratically when you’re under siege . And when it all falls apart, the U.S. washes its hands of the destruction, pretending it was just an unfortunate consequence of bringing “freedom” to the people.They blame internal issues and government leaders failures -laying down the direct role they played in it all. It’s way about a Civil War in the country under attack. And all the US will acknowledge is supporting forces fighting against the injustice of the regime

The case of Nicaragua reminds us that U.S. interventions aren’t about democracy or human rights—they’re about power. They’re about ensuring that no country, especially in the Global South, gets too independent or too bold in charting its own path. And the worst part? The people who pay the price are always the most vulnerable.

🧶.1 THREAD. Inversion of Victim & Aggressor: Shadows of Jewish History in Amsterdam @ReneeLevant

▪️History shows us that one of the most insidious tactics of fascism is “inversion”—turning victims into aggressors to justify violence against them. In Nazi Germany, this was central to anti-Semitic propaganda, which dehumanized Jewish communities, portraying their very survival as a “threat” to German society. This approach not only dehumanized Jews but also created a social and political climate that normalized violence against them This tactic, coupled with a strong mass base complicit in these lies, enabled the Holocaust. Today, as fascism resurges, and we witness genocide in Gaza, these historical lessons demand our attention. Fascism doesn’t target only one group; it begins with and expand s to many groups.. In times like today, when we see media reinforce inverted narratives, we must question who these stories serve. Fascism needs mass complicity to succeed

▪️ Consider Kristallnacht, in 1938. Kristallnacht (1938): Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” is a clear instance where the Nazis used a pretext to justify large-scale violence against Jews and then framed the victims are the aggressors . After the assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by a Jewish teenager, the Nazis framed this isolated act as evidence of widespread "Jewish aggression." They used it to incite violence against Jewish communities, which involved the destruction of thousands of Jewish-owned businesses, homes, and synagogues. Jewish resistance during Kristallnacht, however minimal, was seized upon by Nazi propaganda as evidence that Jews were “violent instigators .” Historians, such as Martin Gilbert in Kristallnacht: Prelude to Destruction, detail how this propaganda inverted the reality of Jewish victimhood and justified Nazi violence under the guise of "protecting" German society (Gilbert, 2006) 🧶.2 Inversion of Victim & Aggressor: Shadows of Jewish History in Amsterdam by @ReneeLevant

▪️The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943): In Nazi-occupied Poland, Jewish resistance during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was similarly portrayed by the Nazis as "Jewish terrorism" or criminality. The Nazis described Jewish fighters as “bandits” and “terrorists,” framing the uprising as an unprovoked rebellion that justified a brutal military response. Jürgen Stroop, the SS officer who led the suppression of the uprising, documented this perspective in his infamous "Stroop Report," where he described the liquidation of the ghetto as a necessary crackdown on criminals. The Nazis distributed this report widely, framing the Jewish fighters' resistance as a threat to the "order" they sought to impose. Yisrael Gutman, a scholar and Holocaust survivor, details this framing in Resistance: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (Gutman, 1994).

Let’s hope the UN Leaders recognize that Concrete Action Against Israels Dismantling UNWRA is Both The Palestinian People and the UN’s Last Best Chance to Survive.
🧶1/
The recent passage of two Knesset bills blocking UNRWA operations in Gaza represents not only an immediate threat to Palestinian lives but a profound violation of the very principles that underpinned Israel's founding and the United Nations Charter. Israel’s actions directly contravene the ICJ’s recent ruling, which reaffirmed that Israel holds no legal sovereignty over Palestinian territories, and that no state or international body may endorse such claims without violating international law.
By effectively taking control of UN humanitarian functions and restricting aid, Israel violates the UN charter and undermines the UN’s mandate, dismisses established humanitarian protections, and imposes intensified control over Gaza’s resources.

This legislation marks a critical turning point. The UN General Assembly’s 1947 Partition Plan created the framework for Israel’s statehood alongside a Palestinian state, with the UN itself as the mediator and overseer of both states’ rights and responsibilities. By unilaterally seizing control over UNRWA’s work, Israel not only violates the UN Charter’s prohibitions against sovereign claims over occupied territories, but it also disregards the very structure of international law that granted it recognition as a state. This shift poses grave consequences: if left unchallenged, it weakens the foundations of the UN Charter, jeopardizes international law's authority, and risks establishing a precedent of impunity.

The UN’s duty to uphold these principles has rarely been more pressing. Beyond the immediate protection of Palestinians facing intensified violence and deprivation, the UN’s response must reaffirm that international law cannot be selectively enforced. Failure to take robust action— which should include

♦️Suspending Israel from UNGA
♦️Enforcing a no-fly zone
♦️Opening Rafah Crossing under UN control, and
♦️Asserting UNRWA’s mandate
♦️The UN Taking back the power to enact a ceasefire from its abuse by the US

—will create clear UN liability in the Palestinian genocide, the unconscionable atrocity crimes, humanitarian catastrophe, Spread of disease and ecological catastrophe and so much more,

It will End any future role for the United Nations in any and every conflict and likely lead to its end.
. 🧶2/. UNRWA’s Establishment as Integral to Israel’s Recognition: UNRWA was established by the UN General Assembly as a direct response to the 1948 displacement crisis of the Palestinian population linked to Israel’s colonization of Palestine and its founding as a ‘State”

The General Assembly has renewed UNRWA’s mandate routinely, reinforcing that its role is essential until a durable solution for Palestinian refugees is achieved. Israel's move to eliminate UNRWA's operations bypasses this UN authority.

In essence, Israel cannot unilaterally dissolve any UN agency and especially not the UN agency that was created to address issues resulting from its founding without violating international norms and the UN Charter UNRWA was established in 1949 by the United Nations General Assembly as a subsidiary organ under Article 7 of the UN Charter.

Again the key here is that this gives it a specific mandate as part of the UN system, placing it under international law and the UN’s legal authority. As such, UNRWA’s mandate, which includes providing essential humanitarian services like education, healthcare, and social support to Palestinian refugees, cannot be unilaterally dissolved or restricted by any single member state. The General Assembly has renewed UNRWA’s mandate routinely, reinforcing that its role is essential until a durable solution for Palestinian refugees is achieved.

Again. Israel's move to eliminate UNRWA's operations bypasses this UN authority and disregards the original legal framework that underpinned Israel's own recognition as a state. In essence, Israel cannot unilaterally dissolve a UN agency that was created to address issues resulting from its founding without violating international norms and the UN Charter established by the UN itself

♦️Kamala Harris Is Not in Our Interests♦️

The response to my post stating that Harris is not in our long-term or short-term interests as Arab Americans from @anneL5694 misses several critical issues. This isn’t about simply choosing between Trump and Harris, nor is it about “cooperation and work” to gradually achieve our goals. We are witnessing an ongoing genocide in Gaza, with the full involvement and support of the current administration, as well as escalating repression against pro-Palestinian voices in the U.S. To dismiss these realities with claims that Harris is somehow “better” for our community is not only disingenuous—it is complicit in the violence.

♦️Harris’s Long Record on Israel & MiddleEast♦️

Kamala Harris’s stance on Israel is not a recent development or a reaction to current events. Her neoconservative position has been clear from the outset. One of her first significant acts in Congress was to oppose a United Nations resolution that merely asked Israel to halt the expansion of illegal settlements. Harris argued that the UN should stay out of it, effectively endorsing Israel’s ongoing violations of international law. This stance wasn't an isolated incident; it was a reflection of a broader, consistent policy agenda that prioritizes Zionist interests over justice and human rights. It is naive to think that this track record can be reconciled with genuine support for Palestinian rights.

🧶2/
In recent months, **Secretary of State Antony Blinken** has disregarded multiple reports from highly credible organizations detailing the **obstruction of U.S. humanitarian aid** into Gaza. One of the key reports came from **USAID**, a U.S. government agency that has long provided crucial humanitarian assistance around the world. Another significant report was issued by the **World Food Programme**, currently led by **Cindy McCain**, a trusted figure who has been involved in global humanitarian efforts for years. These reports explicitly stated that **Israel was systematically blocking the vast majority of U.S. humanitarian aid** from reaching Gaza, compounding the already dire humanitarian crisis.

Despite these reports, Blinken chose to **overturn their findings**, stating that he did not agree with the assessment that aid was being blocked at such a large scale, despite overwhelming evidence from not only these agencies but also from numerous NGOs, international organizations, and the **United Nations**. His decision to ignore the reports has raised serious questions about the **credibility of U.S. foreign policy**, especially when it comes to its legal obligations under the **Leahy Law** and **Foreign Assistance Act**. These laws require the suspension of aid when ♦️credible evidence ♦️of human rights violations or aid obstruction exists.

Distinguishing Combatants from Non-Combatants: International Law and the Recent Explosions in Lebanon and Syria📟📟📟🧨🧨📱🧨📟

🧶1/4
[Note: The Informal of this peace would be : “Heck No There is No Right in International Law to Target Any and All Members of a “Terrorist Group”- Dr Renee Levant]

In this thread I explain why Israeli and US assertions that terrorists are legitimate targets under internal law,and that their resulting actions are supported by the legal principle of the “right to self-defense,”. Is what the UN must expose and condemn as it is the basis of all the most serious Israeli & US violations of International Law. ]

The recent explosions of electronic devices in Lebanon and Syria raise critical issues about international law, particularly concerning the protection of civilians in armed conflicts. This situation brings into focus the longstanding controversy over how states, such as Israel and the United States, interpret the concept of combatants versus non-combatants.

♦️♦️Combatants vs. Non-Combatants: The Foundation of International Law

The cornerstone of international humanitarian law (IHL), including the Geneva Conventions, is the principle of distinction. This principle mandates that combatants—those actively participating in hostilities—can be targeted, while non-combatants, including civilians, must be protected from direct attacks. The deliberate blurring of this distinction by some states, however, undermines these protections.

♦️1. The Wrongful Expansion of Targeting
Israel and the U.S. have often argued that any member of a group they label as "terrorist" is a legitimate target, regardless of whether the individual is actively engaged in hostilities. This approach goes against international law, which requires active participation in combat to categorize someone as a combatant. For example, political members, medical personnel, and civil administrators in groups like Hezbollah and Hamas are non-combatants under international law. Attacking them simply due to their affiliation constitutes a violation of the principle of distinction and such act would be classified as a war crimes.
Continued… Distinguishing Combatants from Non-Combatants: International Law and the Recent Explosions in Lebanon and Syria📟📟📟🧨🧨📱🧨📟
🧶2/4

♦️2. The Self-Defense Argument and Its Limits
States, including Israel, claim that their actions are acts of self-defense against ongoing threats. However, self-defense in international law does not grant unlimited authority to target individuals indiscriminately. Even in self-defense, actions must adhere to the principles of proportionality and distinction. Targeting members of an organization indiscriminately, particularly when they include non-combatants, fails these tests.

♦️3. The "Human Shields" Argument and Its Misuse
A common argument by Israel is that groups like Hamas or Hezbollah use civilians as "human shields," thereby justifying high civilian casualties during military operations. However, international law maintains that even if combatants are present among civilians, parties to a conflict must take all feasible precautions to minimize civilian harm. Recent events, such as the bombing of tented areas where civilians were sheltered in Lebanon, are serious violations of these obligations.

♦️Case in Point The explosions of electronic devices in Lebanon and Syria are reportedly aimed at Hezbollah members. However, Hezbollah is a political party with a broad membership base, not just a military wing. The devices were distributed to a wide array of individuals, including those not directly involved in combat, which resulted in civilian casualties. Additionally, there was no way for Israel to know where each of thousands were and who was around. In other words they had no control over this attack . Every object like a pager is likely to be left around the house. That’s why there were a few children killed in this operation as well . And so explosions and injury’s occurred in marketplaces, cars, and other civilian areas. This situation also highlights a direct violation of the principle of distinction and proportionality.

Again, remember that, even if the majority of those killed turned out to be people who participate in military hostilities with Israel. They were not engaging in hostilities when the beepers went off then they were civilians and it’s a war crime..

1. 🟥 The Global Threat of Polio from Gaza & Israel’s rejection of even a temporary pause

The situation in Gaza is not merely a local crisis; it represents a significant threat to global health. Polio, a virus that the world has nearly eradicated, has resurfaced in Gaza due to the devastating conditions brought on by prolonged genocidal seige. Despite international efforts to keep this virus at bay, the polio virus detected in Gaza could quickly spread beyond the region, given our globally interconnected world. Even with the blockade, the movement of people, goods, and aid workers can serve as vectors for the virus, posing a risk to regions far from Gaza. The World Health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm, emphasizing that without immediate containment, this could become a global health emergency. This thread will explore the full scope of the dangers posed by the current situation in Gaza, starting with the risk to global health. Further reading: UN News, University of Nebraska

2.🟥 Conditions in Gaza: A Breeding Ground for Disease

The living conditions in Gaza are not just dire; they are a perfect storm for the outbreak and spread of diseases like polio. With over 90% of the population displaced, most people are living in unsanitary, overcrowded conditions with little to no access to clean water, sanitation, or healthcare. The healthcare system in Gaza has been decimated by the Israeli attacks , leaving it unable to handle routine care, let alone a public health emergency. Vaccination rates have plummeted, creating a vulnerable population that is now at severe risk of a widespread polio outbreak. The WHO and UN have both issued dire warnings about the potential for an outbreak to spread if immediate health interventions are not implemented.

🧵1/n ♦️🇵🇸Appointment of Yahya Sinwar as Head of Hamas: Significance and Expectations♦️🇵🇸

My thoughts on this overall. This was not expected and Hamas had assigned someone else temporarily while they engaged in democratic processes to determine the new leader.

The appointment of Yahya Sinwar as the head of Hamas marks a significant shift in the organization's leadership strategy, reflecting the current geopolitical and military context. Sinwar’s leadership is poised to influence both the immediate resistance efforts and the long-term political landscape of the Palestinian movement.

✔️Escalation of Conflict and Military Focus

Sinwar's appointment comes at a time of heightened hostilities and a perceived failure of international diplomatic efforts, particularly from the UN, to secure a lasting ceasefire with Israel. This environment necessitates a strong military response to defend Gaza and assert Palestinian resistance.

✔️Defensive Strategy:

Sinwar’s extensive background with the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, positions him to enhance the coordination and effectiveness of military operations. His leadership emphasizes preparedness and resilience against Israeli aggression

✔️Diplomatic Engagement and Pragmatism

Despite his strong military credentials, Sinwar is not opposed to diplomatic engagements. His past involvement in ceasefire talks and indirect negotiations demonstrates a pragmatic understanding of the necessity for diplomatic channels to secure humanitarian aid and temporary peace.

✔️Strategic Diplomacy:

Sinwar's approach will likely leverage military strength to create conditions favorable for future negotiations. By intensifying resistance efforts, he aims to pressure international actors and Israel to return to the negotiating table from a position of strength.

✔️Internal Cohesion and Palestinian Unity

A critical aspect of Sinwar's leadership will be maintaining internal unity within Hamas and aligning with broader Palestinian efforts towards reconciliation, particularly through initiatives like the Beijing Declaration, which aims to foster unity among all Palestinian factions.

✔️Unified Command:

Sinwar's leadership can unify and strengthen the coordination between Hamas’s political and military wings, enhancing operational effectiveness while maintaining internal cohesion.

✔️Rebuilding the PLO

Sinwar has shown support for rebuilding the PLO to include all Palestinian factions, including Hamas. His participation in reconciliation talks and support for a collective Palestinian leadership reflect his commitment to these efforts.

♦️Implications for the Future

Sinwar’s appointment signals a period where military preparedness and resistance are prioritized, but with an underlying pragmatic approach to diplomacy. His leadership aims to balance immediate defensive actions with long-term strategic objectives.

Resistance as Leverage. The emphasis on resistance efforts is intended to create conditions to compel international actors and Israel to engage in meaningful negotiations. Sinwar seeks to strengthen Hamas’s position in any future diplomatic engagements.

International Relations: While prioritizing military actions, Sinwar is expected to continue necessary diplomatic relationships, particularly with key regional players like Egypt and Qatar, to secure humanitarian aid and temporary ceasefires when strategically advantageous.

♦️Conclusion

Sinwar's leadership represents a strategic response to the current dynamics, emphasizing military strength while maintaining a pragmatic approach to diplomacy and internal unity. His support for rebuilding the PLO and including all Palestinian factions underscores his commitment to a unified Palestinian front. As Hamas navigates this complex period, Sinwar’s balanced approach will leverage resistance efforts to achieve favorable conditions for future negotiations, ensuring that both military and political strategies are effectively integrated. 2/n ♦️🇵🇸Appointment of Yahya Sinwar as Head of Hamas: Significance and Expectations♦️🇵🇸

Note: Campaign in transition from INVOKE The genocide convention TO ENACT The Genocide Convention.

The Campaign To Invoke The Genocide Convention of River Valley Code Pink, has been dedicated to ending genocide in Gaza and upholding the rights of the Palestinian people and their liberation movement, while fostering a caring and supportive community among our members. Our action plan, steadfast in the face of varying outcomes at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or any imperialist legal institutions includes:

1. Advocating for an immediate ceasefire by Israel and its allies, and cessation of military supplies to Israel until hostilities end completely

2. Calling on UN States supportive of Palestinian Independence and Self-Determination to initiate a Uniting for Peace Resolution, leading to the establishment of a UN Protective Force.(see example below) and lifting the illegal Seige on Gaza The key point is the UN cannot leave the blockade in place and under Israeli control and make more than a dent in the genocide and catastrophic conditions left by Israel. The blockade and Occupation are the conditions at the root of hostilities and injustice

3. Urging all states to sever diplomatic ties and trade agreements with Israel and impose sanctions on Israel until it ends its genocidal campaigns and fully withdraws from Gaza and the Occupied Territories.

4.Calling for release of all Palestinian Prisoners and detainees held by Israel in exchange for all held by Palestine,

5.Insisting on a long term solution chosen by the Palestinian people and their united representative factions, advocating for an end to the siege and occupation of Palestinian lands, a fully sovereign Palestinian State with East Jerusalem as its capital, and enforcing relevant UN resolutions, including the Palestinian Right to Return.

6. Establishing a special UN Tribunal empowered to quickly investigate war crimes and human rights abuses in occupied territories and prosecute crimes

7. Supporting the Palestinian Liberation movement and the right to resist colonial oppression -in all its forms-(peaceful and armed ) and factions. Self-Determination means the people’s movement only ones who have a right to determine the acceptable solutions and who will govern how it will be decided and so forth.

1. Egypt says that the US and Egypt agreed to a months long ceasefire to allow evacuation of foreigners and getting in needed aid

2. The US approved the ground invasion of Rafah exchange for Israel refraining from a large scale retaliation against Iran

3. Israel has denied both of the above!

4.Also describes Egypts preparations for the invasion

Translations below :

Egyptian sources familiar with Cairo’s movements regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip revealed “full readiness and readiness of the agencies and forces present in North Sinai, and along the 14-kilometre border strip with the Gaza Strip, as part of a plan to deal with the scenario of preparation for the repeated Israeli announcement of an invasion of the city of Rafah

According to an Egyptian source, “the increase in readiness, which has increased in pace since last Monday evening, came after contacts from the Israeli side, linked to the occupation government beginning preparations for the military operation in the far south of the Gaza Strip, which (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu describes as the last stronghold of the Hamas movement.” According to his claim, there are four brigades of the movement’s military wing.”

Egyptian source: The American administration showed acceptance of the occupation’s plan regarding the operation in Rafah in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against Iran.

The source pointed out that “the occupation army launched air strikes on several areas adjacent to the border strip between the Gaza Strip and Egypt,” pointing out that “the relevant officials in Egypt were notified before carrying out some of those strikes, which came in the Philadelphia axis on an empty plot of land adjacent to the border with Egypt.” “Allegedly, it is being used to smuggle weapons to Hamas.” He explained that Cairo "found itself forced to deal on the ground with the anticipated military operation, in order to mitigate the severity of its repercussions, in light of the new understandings between the American administration and the occupation government ."

America accepts the operation in Rafah
He pointed out that "the American administration showed acceptance of the plan previously presented by the occupation government regarding the military operation in Rafah in exchange for not carrying out a large-scale attack against Iran . " He pointed out that "the Israeli plan relies on the method of displacement, by dividing Rafah into numbered squares, so that one square after another is targeted, prompting those in it to move away from it, specifically towards Khan Yunis and the Al-Mawasi area." The source pointed out that "as part of the Egyptian preparations in this context, there was an increase in the capacity of the camps in the city of Khan Yunis, which is managed by the Egyptian Red Crescent, and an increase in the amounts of aid entering them in coordination with the Israeli side."

The Egyptian Red Crescent has established two camps to accommodate the displaced in Khan Yunis since last January. The first camp accommodates seven thousand displaced people, while the second accommodates four thousand, at a time when the relevant Egyptian authorities began working on preparing a third camp. Last Monday, Israeli Security Minister Yoav Galant held a meeting about preparations to launch the military operation to invade Rafah. The ministry stated, in a statement, that “during the meeting, Gallant discussed with the participants a number of measures that must be taken as part of the preparations for the operation in Rafah.”

On the other hand, Western diplomatic sources in Cairo, familiar with international communications regarding the release of Israeli prisoners held by resistance factions in the Gaza Strip, suggested that “talk about a broad Israeli military action against Iran will decline, after the attack launched by Tehran via drones and ballistic missiles.” In the interest of the upcoming military operation in Rafah.”
Facilities to attack Rafah

A prominent Western diplomat told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “Netanyahu was able, through political maneuvering, to obtain American facilities for the military operation in Rafah, which was not welcomed by the United States at this time, in exchange for retreating from carrying out a large-scale military operation against Iran.” "In response to her latest attack." He considered that "talking about an Israeli response to Iran, contrary to the desire of the American administration, was not realistic, in light of Tel Aviv's conviction that the United States had the largest role in repelling the Iranian attack and its failure."

Professor of Public International Law, Dr. Ayman Salama, confirmed that “the Israeli occupation’s claims and lies that Egypt supplies the Palestinian factions with weapons and ammunition through the Philadelphia axis are nothing but an attempt to justify its miserable failure before the world.” Salama told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “Egypt is a sovereign state, and will not accept any changes in Israel’s military presence in the region, without its approval, especially since the international conventions linking Egypt and the Israeli occupation, including the peace treaty that was signed in 1979, stipulate "There is not a large number of forces on both sides."

Samir Ragheb: Egypt seeks, through negotiations, to postpone or cancel the Rafah operation
He explained that "Egypt's approval is required before any amendment to the actual military situation, and that Israel will not be able to establish buffer zones on the Egyptian-Israeli border or amend the security annex to the peace treaty between the two countries under the pretext of the urgent need for security in cases of direct threats, such as the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians." Salama said, “The Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty itself includes what is called the security annex, which regulates the presence of forces and the type of their armament in the three areas (A), (B), and (C) in Egyptian territory in the Sinai Peninsula, and (D), inside Israel.” ". He pointed out that "Egypt could suspend certain provisions in the treaty in response to possible Israeli actions, but it will not suspend the sensitive security annex, which constitutes the core of the treaty." He added that Egypt "may threaten or partially suspend some of the texts and clauses of the peace treaty, including those related to diplomatic and consular relations, and the ambassador may be withdrawn."

🚨 Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor:
—
The "israeli" occupation army is detaining medical teams in Al-Shifa Medical Complex, which has been undergoing a military operation for the fourth consecutive day, at a time when patients are dying slowly without care.

We have received horrific statements about the death of 3 patients in the last few hours, apart from the slow death threatening the lives of dozens of patients and the injured, either by denying them any medical care and medication or by starving and dehydrating them.

The statements showed that the occupation forces detained all doctors and nurses in an unknown location within the Al-Shifa complex and prevented them from performing their work, leaving the patients and the injured without any healthcare or medication.

We warn that the occupation army has turned the Al-Shifa Complex into a public slaughterhouse amid field execution operations.

The ongoing "israeli" crimes inside Al-Shifa Medical Complex have led to the martyrdom of at least 200 Palestinians by the time of the statement's release, many of whom were subjected to deliberate killing and extrajudicial execution after their arrest.

We have received statements about the occupation forces evacuating dozens of patients from some buildings in the Complex, while some severe cases and the elderly, whose fate is threatened by death, were not evacuated.

We fear that the entire Al-Shifa medical complex might be bombed following the explosion of some of its facilities, alongside the burning of buildings and homes surrounding the ComplEX
