Interesting. But the US aid package for Gaza (forming part of the military aid for Israel) rules out any of it being used by UNWRA, whatever the eventual outcome.

This topic had dropped down to page 5 of the general section but deserves a bump.

This from the executive director of MSF.

And whilst we're at it, this is not evidence of the liberal values supposedly at the heart of Western democracy.

This, of course, is on the back of an attempt to create a narrative that a realistic deal is on the table and that it is Hamas being unreasonable and refusing it.

The deal, it appears, is that Hamas give up everything and in return the Israeli's promise to stop for a couple of weeks before continuing to raze Gaza and take over permanently. Not sure what's in it for hte people of Gaza.

Plus the stifling of reportage:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68961753

'According to Reuters news agency, the Israeli satellite service Yes displayed a message that read: "In accordance with the government decision, the Al Jazeera station's broadcasts have been stopped in Israel."...The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) said they had filed a request to the country's Supreme Court to issue an interim order to overturn the ban.

The group said that claims that the broadcaster was a propaganda tool for Hamas were "unfounded", and that Sunday's ban was less about security concerns and more to "serve a more politically motivated agenda, aimed at silencing critical voices and targeting Arab media".

The Foreign Press Association (FPA) urged the Israeli government to reconsider its decision, saying the shut down of Al Jazeera in the country should be "a cause for concern for all supporters of a free press".'

This is the full statement of the Foreign Press Association, which is based in London and is the first and oldest association of foreign journalists in the world, founded in 1888.



Yet more evidence of scant regard for Western (by which I would include Israeli) liberal values, as is the exclusion of the foreign press from Gaza.

I hadn't seen this before now. Sangita Myska sacked for stating the 'wrong' facts.

That's a real shame. I've listened to her a lot and found her a sensitive and thoughtful presenter.

This incident especially springs to mind.

EDIT: It has been noticeable how easy a ride Israeli spokespeople get in the British media.

This strikes me as being far from ideal because as the saying goes "Truth is the first casualty of war."

BBC reporting Hamas has accepted ceasefire.

Be interesting to see how this pans out, given this may not suit the hardliners in the Netanyahu government.

Israel saying proposal is not acceptable.

Was about to say - the hardliners in the Israeli government will see Hamas agreeing to the ceasefire as a sign that the Rafah invasion would cause real damage to them, so won't want to back off.

Now the question is how much pressure will be applied by the wider public and the US.

According to the BBC's live report, the IDF has struck Rafah.

ETA - Rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza too.
