💢 NEW: Israel Bombs Gaza, Kills Palestinians Hours After Trump Declares “Historic Breakthrough” Within hours of President Donald Trump announcing a new agreement, new Israeli bombings and gunfire attacks killed at least one Palestinian and wounded several others in Gaza, medical authorities told outlets. Gaza relief coordinator Eyad Amawi told Drop Site News that Israeli forces also ordered the forced displacement of whole residential blocks in two different locations, in Deir al-Balah and Nuseirat refugee camp. The orders violate the original ceasefire, as well as the newly agreed deal, and forced hundreds of Palestinians, including families with young children, to flee again in the middle of the night with nowhere to go. Hundreds are sleeping in the streets, Amawi told Drop Site. The forced evacuations are part of Israel’s continued advance beyond the original ceasefire line. Under the watch of the U.S. President and his U.N.-backed Board of Peace, Israel has expanded its “Yellow Line” (marking the territory it controls in Gaza), from roughly 53% to around 70%, without either challenging the illegal advance. Hamas said Friday that the first step toward implementing the agreement must be an Israeli commitment “to stopping the killing and ending its attacks.” A senior Israeli official immediately said there would be “no withdrawal whatsoever” from the current Yellow Line unless Hamas undergoes what Israel considers “genuine disarmament.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly said whether he accepts President Trump’s deal, which requires Israel to halt its attacks, finally allow adequate food, water, shelter and fuel into besieged Gaza, and withdraw first to the original ceasefire line, and then from all of Gaza.

⭕️ Two Israeli female soldiers photographed themselves posing beside a young, blindfolded Palestinian detainee who appears to be a minor and proudly posted the image on Instagram. The post, which circulated widely online and was reviewed by Drop Site News, was uploaded by Israeli soldier Nikol Stelmashvski as part of a 20-photo carousel containing additional images from her time in Gaza. Her account [@ nikol.stel, IG] has since been made private after the photo drew public backlash. The image is the latest in a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers publicly sharing evidence of Palestinian detainees being humiliated or abused. Such conduct violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits the degrading treatment of detainees.

Full Statement: In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Press Statement Hamas and the Palestinian factions have dealt responsibly and positively with the negotiation process and the mediators' proposals to complete the implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement. This was done with national consensus among the Palestinian factions, reflecting a spirit of partnership and responsibility, stemming from our commitment to protecting our people, meeting their humanitarian needs, and safeguarding their national rights. The occupation's commitment to halting the killing and ending its aggression is the fundamental prerequisite and the first step towards implementation and establishing the framework and timetable for what has been agreed upon. It is emphasized that the implementation of the second phase of the agreement is contingent upon the occupation's commitment to implementing all the provisions of the first phase. The inclusion of the issue of heavy weapons within the framework of the agreement was linked to and conditional upon a complete cessation of all forms of aggression, withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, achieving early recovery, the entry of the Administrative Committee, the deployment of international protection forces, the disbanding of armed gangs and militias formed by the occupation, reconstruction, guaranteeing the right to self-determination, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and the protection of citizens' rights. Hamas and the Palestinian factions extend their greetings and appreciation to our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip, and affirm their commitment to continuing to work together on this path for the sake of our people and to safeguard all their rights.

Abdul, we were both on the ballot in 2018. I was capable of winning my competitive primary and general election. You lost. You lost by over twenty points to Gretchen Whitmer and you will lose to Mike Rogers by talking like this. Everyone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans. But buddy, let me be very clear, I will lower the costs of groceries, ban stock trading for elected officials, stop Trump's abuses of power, and protect Michigan manufacturing. And you’ll just be a celebrity whining and writing books to get even richer. You’re part of the complainer class, looking for their next book or podcast deal. Bro, I just want to work for Michigan.

💢 🇵🇸 Israel closes case into brutal 2023 torture of Palestinians by soldiers and settlers, no one charged The Israeli military has closed its investigation into a ruthless 2023 assault on three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank without charging anyone, according to a report in Haaretz. The military prosecutor claimed it could not tie specific soldiers and settlers to the attack. The three men were seized by Israeli soldiers and settlers in the village of Wadi al-Seeq on October 12, 2023, and abused for hours. According to their testimony, they were beaten, stripped to their underwear, bound, and photographed. Two were urinated on, one had cigarettes stubbed out on his body, and one was sexually assaulted, with an attacker attempting to rape him. The attack, among the most brutal documented cases of settler-soldier violence, drew international coverage at the time. Its closure underscores Israel’s ongoing failure to prosecute violence against Palestinians, with arrests uncommon, indictments rarer, and convictions almost nonexistent.
