    ‘Negotiations just to negotiate are pointless,’ Israeli official says as Trump weighs Iran talks

    BUDAPEST, Hungary — The nuclear negotiations that President Donald Trump is pursuing with Iran are likely to be fruitless, a senior Israeli official told reporters traveling with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Hungarian capital on Friday.

    “We want Iran not to have nuclear weapons. Is there a way with talks? Maybe, I doubt it. It happened in Libya and Ukraine … I think it won’t happen, realistically,” the senior official said.

    “There is no point in having negotiations just to negotiate,” the source added. “It’s pointless to have these discussions.”

    Asked if Trump could be falling for a ploy by the Iranians to buy time while they regroup following the wave of Israeli strikes in Iran last year and the fall of their proxies in Lebanon and Syria, the source acknowledged the concern that Tehran may rebuild its air defenses.

    However, he said “I’m sure President Trump is aware of all the possibilities. I don’t have to tell him.”

    Reacting to the new 17% tariff the Trump administration levied on Israel, the source said that Israel plans to enter discussions with Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative.

    ”I think it’s mostly solvable. We want to get rid of it, of course,” he said.

    Israel is “not giving up on Trump’s vision for voluntary emigration from Gaza,” the senior Israeli official said. Jerusalem is in contact with countries that are willing to take large numbers of refugees from Gaza, according to the source, who would not specify which countries.

    Before Israel can execute that plan, though, the source said, “First of all, we want to free the hostages, and second we have to destroy Hamas … so people will leave willingly.”

    As for who will control Gaza at that point, the source said, “If, in the first phase Israel has to hold the territory, we will, but we are looking for a consortium of Arab states, based on the Gulf states, to manage it.

    “The overriding security responsibility will be Israeli,” he added. “We will not put it in the hands of others unless proven otherwise, that someone else can do the work.”

    The source also pushed back against accusations that Netanyahu allowed Qatar to fund Hamas, calling it part of “a cascade of lies.”

    “All of the security branches wanted it, including the head of the Shin Bet … It was meant to buy quiet. They said it all the time, endlessly,” he said. “It was meant to prevent a humanitarian collapse and epidemics. The money was supposed to go to gas and pay salaries the Palestinian Authority paid until 2007, meaning it was not money for new things.”

    The source also clarified Netanyahu’s comment earlier this week that Qatar is a “complicated country.” He pointed out that while Israel banned Qatar-sponsored Al Jazeera, it accepts Qatar as a mediator to secure the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

    “They’re not an enemy state, but our approach to them needs to be more regulated,” he said.

    During their meeting on Thursday in Budapest, Netanyahu and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban discussed efforts to free hostage Omri Miran, who has Hungarian citizenship and has been held by Hamas in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.

    At least 21 hostages remain alive in Gaza, the source confirmed.

    Hungary is a member of the Organization of Turkic States — Hungarian is a Turkic language — and as such can serve as a channel between Israel and Turkey, the source said. Relations between Ankara and Jerusalem sharply deteriorated after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, and Israel is deeply concerned about Turkey’s expanding presence in Syria.

    “Turkey creating military bases in Syria is something that we want to prevent — the question is how,” the source said. “We are not looking for conflict in Syria … We want southwest Syria demilitarized. We won’t allow any army there.”

    Another major topic of discussion on Netanyahu’s visit to Budapest was Israel’s aim to significantly increase its artillery stockpiles through joint manufacturing in Hungary.

    Israel “wants to be prepared” for boycotts, the source said, and artillery shells are especially important for saving the lives of Israeli soldiers: “In war, when you enter an urban area, you give a warning to the population, and then you don’t have to [have soldiers] go into the houses, you just blow [the houses] up.”

    Following Hungary’s departure from the International Criminal Court, there is another country that plans to do the same, the source said, but would not specify which. He said that Israel is in talks about the matter with several countries to “leave that corrupt place” and join “the struggle against a body that is putting our soldiers in danger.”

    The source praised Orban as “the leader of the struggle against antisemitism in international bodies.”

    All those claims about the majority of people killed in Gaza being women and children. Yeah... even Hamas admitted it is complete bullshiat. 72% of the people killed in Gaza are military age males and surely nearly 100% of these are Hamas militants rather than civilians.

    Hamas admits it lied to the world about how many children and civilians died in Gaza

    Israel deports two British MPs amid backlash over killings of Gaza medics

    Israel has detained and deported two British members of parliament, refusing them entry as part of a parliamentary delegation, according to the United Kingdom foreign secretary, David Lammy.

    Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed flew from London to Israel on Saturday and were rejected because they were suspected of plans to “document the activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred”, Sky News reported, citing a statement from the Israeli immigration ministry.

    Lammy said in a statement that Israel’s actions were “counterproductive, and deeply concerning”.

    “I have made clear to my counterparts in the Israeli government that this is no way to treat British parliamentarians, and we have been in contact with both MPs tonight to offer our support,” he said.

    “The UK government’s focus remains securing a return to the ceasefire and negotiations to stop the bloodshed, free the hostages and end the conflict in Gaza,” Lammy added.

    Last year, Israel declared United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “undesirable”, prohibiting him from entering the country. Two members of the European Parliament were also denied entry in February.

    Killing medics
    The detention of the British MPs comes as Israel faces backlash after a phone video from one of the 15 Palestinian medics killed by Israeli forces last month contradicted Israeli claims that the victims’ vehicles did not have emergency signals on when troops opened fire on them in southern Gaza.

    The footage shows the Red Crescent and the Palestinian Civil Defence teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier.

    Their vehicles immediately come under a barrage of gunfire, which goes on for more than five minutes with brief pauses, the video shows. Eight Red Crescent personnel, six Civil Defence workers and a UN staffer were killed in the shooting before dawn on March 23.

    The Israeli military earlier said it opened fire on the vehicles because they were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals.

    The International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year found claims that Israel was perpetrating genocide in Gaza were credible and ordered it to refrain from any acts that may amount to such a crime.

    Geoffrey Nice, a top British human rights lawyer and lead prosecutor at Slobodan Milosevic’s 2002 trial, has called on the international community to put more pressure on the Israeli government to fully explain its role in the medics’ killings in Gaza.

    In an interview with Al Jazeera, Nice said “it would be very hard to believe” that those involved in the massacre of the medical workers were “rogue elements” of the Israeli military.

    “When you have the people, who can send the bulldozers and their diggers, the people who send out the public relations information, which turned out [to] be false, it is very hard to believe that this is a rogue element,” he said.

    “If it is not a rogue element, then what’s being done is in accordance with the practice and accepted practice within the [Israeli army], and that’s going to be something very difficult to confront. Without better justification, or any justification, this is a terribly serious war crime,” Nice added.

    Since renewed military operations on March 18 ended a short-lived ceasefire with Hamas, Israel has pushed to seize territory in Gaza and killed 1,309 people, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health.

    When Netanyahu calls on the White House and says hello to Trump on Monday, what are the chances of American politicians rebuking Netanyahu and deciding to call a halt to all arms sales to Israel due to its ongoing attrocities against Palestinians?

    What are the chances Trump advises Netanyahu "Go for it, bomb the shit out of Iran and while you're at it keep bombing the shit out of Gaza, America will continue to supply you unlimited support. Never mind any of the casualties"
