After numerous assaults on UNRWA facilities, Israeli army claims to find weapons in Gaza City The Israeli army says it located weapons at UNRWA’s compound in Gaza City, without providing evidence. It also said that it destroyed a tunnel close to the building that was used for Hamas’s military operations. That took place as part of Israeli raids in the past two weeks on the western and southern neighbourhoods of Gaza City which forced tens of thousands of people to flee southwards and reduce to rubble entire districts. Since the start of the war, Israel has targeted hundreds of UN buildings, hospitals and schools claiming they were used by Palestinian fighters for military purposes. But it is providing no proof to back its claims. At least 524 people have been killed while sheltering in UNRWA facilities since October 7, the agency said. Just in the past week, dozens of people were killed in attacks on four UNRWA schools in four days. https://www.aljazeera.com/
Let's hear what Fatah has to say about Hamas... Fatah: Hamas sacrifices civilians, thwarts statehood “We consider them martyrs, but they did not choose to sacrifice themselves — they were sacrificed,” Nazzal stated, attributing the Palestinian deaths during the war to Hamas https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-809925 Fatah's spokesman in Europe and a member of its Revolutionary Council, Dr. Jamal Nazzal, accused Hamas of sacrificing Palestinian civilians against their will in an interview with the Fatah-affiliated network Awda TV on June 26. In the interview, Nazzal argued that Palestinians killed as a result of Israel’s war with Gaza did not choose to become martyrs but were instead sacrificed by Hamas. “We consider them to be martyrs, but they did not sacrifice themselves — they were sacrificed,” Nazzal said. “The people who applaud this – especially from abroad – did not try to live in Gaza.” Nazzal opposes Palestinian opinion polls Nazzal also criticized public opinion polls that measure Palestinian support for the actions of October 7, such as a recent poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, which revealed that 73 percent of Palestinians support Hamas' decision to launch the October 7 attacks on Israel. Nazzal explained that these polls portray all Palestinians as extremists, which can harm public opinion. “The occupation says that all the Palestinians are extremists,” he said. “When the polls show support for a certain type of action – this harms the Palestinians. We could do without this poll.” Nazzal continued, stating that the polls are biased and too specific and fail to portray the broader Palestinian population in a positive light. “When West Bank Palestinians are asked in these polls whether they support the October 7 attack in Gaza, they say 'yes,'" Nazzal said. "But when they are asked whether they support a similar attack in the West Bank, they say: 'Thank you, but no thank you.'" Nazzal accuses Hamas of sabotaging Palestinian state He then accused Hamas of being fundamentally opposed to the establishment of a Palestinian state, arguing that Hamas has actively sabotaged every opportunity to achieve Palestinian statehood. He cited the 1995 Oslo II Accord as the pivotal moment, under which Area C of the West Bank, which is now home to approximately half a million Jewish residents, was supposed to be "gradually transferred to Palestinian jurisdiction" with an option for land swaps under a final agreement. However, this transfer did not happen, which Nazzal blamed on the actions of Hamas. “Hamas carried out bombing attacks inside Israel to thwart this process,” Nazzal said. “If this process would have been allowed to run its course, it would have given the Palestinians true independence and a fully sovereign state.”

How about "NO". Not a single dime to UNRWA. No organization that funds terrorists should be given a single penny of money. UNRWA needs to be disbanded and replaced. UN chief urges funds for Palestinians https://apnews.com/article/un-appea...-israel-gaza-3ca26b494b0294ff46809b0c5ee54913 UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief appealed for funding Friday for the beleaguered U.N. agency helping Palestinian refugees in Gaza and elsewhere in the Middle East, accusing Israel of issuing evacuation orders that force Palestinians “to move like human pinballs across a landscape of destruction and death.” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a donor’s conference that the agency, known as UNRWA, faces “a profound funding gap.” UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini said at the start of the conference that the agency only had funds to operate through August. At the end, he told reporters that, while the total amount in pledges won’t be known until next week, he is confident there will be enough new money in its $850 million annual budget to keep the agency running until the end of September.

Israeli strike targets the Hamas military commander and kills at least 90 in southern Gaza The Gaza Health Ministry said 71 people were killed in an Israeli attack Saturday in the south of the war-stricken enclave. The ministry said 289 others were injured in the attack that struck the Khan Younis area. It said that many of the injured and dead were taken to nearby Nasser Hospital. (AP video shot by Mariam Daggah; Production by Wafaa Shurafa) By MOHAMED JAHJOUH July 14, 2024 KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel said it targeted Hamas’ shadowy military commander in a massive strike Saturday in the crowded southern Gaza Strip that killed at least 90 people including children, according to local health officials. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “there still isn’t absolute certainty” that Mohammed Deif and a second Hamas commander, Rafa Salama, were killed. Hamas rejected the claim that Dief was in the area, saying “these false claims are merely a cover-up for the scale of the horrific massacre.” The strike took place in an area Israel’s military had designated as safe for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Deif and Hamas’ top official in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, are believed by Israel to be the chief architects of the Oct. 7 attack that killed some 1,200 people in southern Israel and triggered the Israel-Hamas war. Not seen in public for years, Deif has long topped Israel’s most-wanted list and is believed to have escaped multiple Israeli assassination attempts. On Oct. 7, Hamas issued a rare voice recording of Deif announcing the “Al Aqsa Flood” operation. The strike came at a delicate time in cease-fire efforts. Deif’s death would hand Israel a major victory and Hamas a painful psychological blow. It also could give Netanyahu a possible opening. Again on Saturday, the prime minister said Israel will not end the war until Hamas’ military capabilities are destroyed. Deif’s death would be a significant step in that direction.
UN chief urges funds for Palestinians, saying Israel is forcing Gazans ‘to move like human pinballs’ “Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse in Gaza — somehow, appallingly, civilians are being pushed into ever deeper circles of hell,” said U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Israel’s latest evacuation orders in Gaza City have come with more civilian suffering and bloodshed. | Themba Hedebe/AP By Associated Press 07/13/2024 The United Nations chief appealed for funding Friday for the beleaguered U.N. agency helping Palestinian refugees in Gaza and elsewhere in the Middle East, accusing Israel of issuing evacuation orders that force Palestinians “to move like human pinballs across a landscape of destruction and death.” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a donor’s conference that the agency, known as UNRWA, faces “a profound funding gap.” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said at the start of the conference that the agency only had funds to operate through August. At the end, he told reporters that, while the total amount in pledges won’t be known until next week, he is confident there will be enough new money in its $850 million annual budget to keep the agency running until the end of September. UNRWA’s 30,000 staff provide education, primary health care and other development activities to about 6 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. In the coming months, Lazzarini said UNRWA will be seeking funds to keep its operations going through December — and for emergency appeals for $1.2 billion for the Gaza war and $460 million for the Syria crisis, both of which are only 20% funded. Without financial support to UNRWA, secretary-general Guterres said “Palestinian refugees will lose a critical lifeline and the last ray of hope for a better future.” The U.N. chief reserved his harshest words for Israel’s ongoing military offensive in Gaza, which has affected its entire Palestinian refugee population. “The extreme level of fighting and devastation is incomprehensible and inexcusable — and the level of chaos is affecting every Palestinian in Gaza and all those desperately trying to get aid to them. “Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse in Gaza — somehow, appallingly, civilians are being pushed into ever deeper circles of hell,” the secretary-general said. Guterres said Israel’s latest evacuation orders in Gaza City have come with more civilian suffering and bloodshed. Nothing justifies Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks in southern Israel, he said, and “nothing justifies the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.” The Hamas attack killed some 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and led to the abduction of about 250 people. Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,300 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count. Guterres said UNRWA hasn’t been spared: “195 UNRWA staff members have been killed, the highest staff death toll in U.N. history.” For years, UNRWA has been underfunded, but this year was dire following Israeli allegations that 12 of the agency’s 13,000 workers in Gaza participated in Hamas’ Oct. 7 surprise attack that sparked the ongoing war in Gaza. UNRWA immediately suspended them. As a result of the allegations, 16 countries halted funding for UNRWA, amounting to about $450 million. Lazzarini told reporters that 14 donors have officially resumed funding and he believes “very soon” a 15th country — the United Kingdom — will come back. The 16th country is the United States, which had been the biggest donor to UNRWA. The U.S. Congress has prohibited any payments to the agency until March 25, 2025. Just before the conference opened, Slovenia Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon announced that 118 countries had signed a declaration of strong support for UNRWA, which Lazzarini welcomed. He said the United States was among the signatories, though it didn’t attend the conference. “But it was a very good sign … which indicates that they are also providing the necessary political support to the agency,” Lazzarini said.
HEY! ALL YOU BLIND HYPOCRITICAL FREDDIES, DO YOU SEE ANYTHING WRONG FOR CHRISTS SAKE! No? See nothing wrong? Then carry on then as normal.
When humans create something and say its of God, when humans then mass market it to the sheep and the sheep all follow. It's the sheep only who can't see there is a problem here.
Israel kills more than 90 people in area it marked safe for Palestinians By Mohamed Jahjouh July 14, 2024 https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle...people-in-gaza-safe-zone-20240714-p5jtgf.html Khan Younis: Israel said it targeted Hamas’ shadowy military commander in a massive strike that killed at least 90 people including children, according to local health officials.

Deif’s death would hand Israel a major victory and Hamas a painful psychological blow. It also could give Netanyahu a possible opening. The prime minister said Israel will not end the war until Hamas’ military capabilities are destroyed. Deif’s death would be a significant step in that direction. All Hamas leaders are marked for death and “we will reach them all”, Netanyahu said. He added that no hostages had been nearby when the strike occurred, without explaining how he knew that. Deif’s killing could also encourage Hamas to harden its positions in talks. He has been in hiding for more than two decades and is believed to be paralysed. One of the only known images of him is a 30-year-old ID photo released by Israel. Even in Gaza, only a handful of people would recognise him. Saturday’s attack was one of the war’s deadliest. The Gaza Health Ministry reported 90 dead and at least 300 more injured. Associated Press journalists counted more than 40 bodies at overwhelmed Nasser Hospital nearby. Witnesses described an attack that included several strikes. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and civil defence crews are unable to reach them,” the Health Ministry said. The Israeli military asserted that “additional terrorists hid among civilians” and described the location as surrounded by trees and several buildings. An Israeli official said the strike hit a fenced area of Khan Younis that was run by Hamas, saying it was not a tent complex but an operational compound. The official described the strike as precise. The army said the compound belonged to Salama. Witnesses said the strike landed in Muwasi, the Israeli-designated safe zone that stretches from northern Rafah to Khan Younis. Palestinians have fled to the coastal strip, sheltering mostly in tents with few basic services or supplies. More than 80 per cent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been driven from their homes.

Victims were carried on the hoods and in the hatchbacks of cars, on donkey carts and on carpets. At the hospital, a baby in a pink shirt, her face covered with sand, cried while receiving first aid. A small boy lay motionless at the other end of the bed, one shoe gone. Many wounded people were treated on the floor. There was “the overwhelming stench of blood,” said Louise Wateridge, a spokesperson with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees who visited the hospital and spoke with several patients. Staff said there were no cleaning products left. The blast threw a two-year-old child into the air and the mother was missing, Wateridge said. Another boy had his feet blown off, while an eight-year-old boy was killed. “They told me to go there to be safe,” his grieving mother told her of the area struck.

It also criticised the “shameful silence and lack of action from the international community”. Egyptian, Qatari and US mediators have been pushing to narrow gaps between Israel and Hamas over a proposed deal for a three-phase ceasefire and hostage release plan in Gaza. The US-backed proposal calls for an initial ceasefire with a limited hostage release and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza’s populated areas. At the same time, the two sides will negotiate terms of the second phase, which is supposed to bring a full hostage release in return for a permanent ceasefire and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Netanyahu said he wasn’t moving from the US-backed proposal but listed conditions: Israel’s right to continue the war until its goals are achieved, the return of as many hostages as possible in the deal’s first stage, no return of Hamas fighters to northern Gaza and the prevention of arms smuggling, including control of the key Philadelphi corridor between Gaza and Egypt. Israel launched its campaign in Gaza after Hamas’ October 7 attack in which militants stormed into southern Israel and abducted about 250 people. Since then, Israeli ground offensives and bombardments have killed more than 38,400 people in Gaza and wounded more than 88,000, according to the territory’s Health Ministry. The ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its count. AP
