Information and statements released regarding ceasefire/truce negotiations indicate no agreement is within site.
The mediators are said to have adopted the “Israeli” stance of temporary ceasefire for release of prisoners, with no guarantee of truce, withdrawal or end of conflict, while also demanding Hamas disarm.
This is not acceptable to Hamas, and is known not to be acceptable to Hamas.
“Israeli” political statements all indicate that continuing the conflict is the agenda.
Several airstrikes reported on Yemen just now.
In Gaza the scenario is similar to previous days.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 On US-Iran “Negotiations”
▪️Iran seeks time and space to continue building deterrence against US regime change;
▪️The US seeks regime change at most, significant containment and the continued undermining of Iran at minimum – all while posing as wanting “diplomacy;”
▪️There is no circumstance under which the US will ever negotiate in good faith – it has no right in the first place to intervene against Iran and everything it does is part of continuity of an agenda that includes the invasion/destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria;
▪️Everything Iran is doing is done to avoid becoming the next Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, recognizing limits to its military and economic power and thus required to compromise to place the US in as awkward a position as possible diplomaticly and militarily were it to launch strikes;
▪️The problem is that as the US runs out of time and becomes more desperate, it becomes more dangerous and thus more likely to launch aggression indifferent to world opinion/reaction – it is also very willing to use Israel to trigger wider conflict and absorb global scorn;

I agree with your observations on Pezeshkian. Thankfully, the Ayatollah is wise and has sufficient wisdom for the entirety of the Persian people.
If America engages Iran, I believe it will be very sorry to have done so and will face the worst military defeat in American history. Iran is not Iraq. Iran has the most high-tech weapons and hardened defenses in a style that America cannot handle in Yemen.
Iran has ISR, eWar, and submarines. It is THE military power in West Asia.

I don’t believe there will be an Iran deal. IMO, Trump is starting to get a sense that things are slipping away from him.
He’s going to hold to his maximalist demands where Iran has to surrender its sovereignty.
Iran, obviously, cannot agree.
Trump seems to have figured out that the Iranians are playing for time, like the Russians and the Chinese.
Time is working against the Empire. It is on borrowed time right now (tick tock), made even more precious by Trump’s bumbled tariff gambit.
What Trump does when he is stymied at every turn and no one will yield to him remains to be seen. Will he get more aggressive and threatening? Will he display force to make a point?
And what will he do if the Axis continues not to bend their knees to him and he starts to lose Zionist support? Anxious and desperate people are capable of ~anything~.
So much of Trump’s persona is rooted in “winning” and success. What will MAGAs do if they (metaphorically) see their God bleed?

Coverage of ground realities in Gaza are now very sparse.
What do I mean by that ?
Various of the blatant atrocities are reported on, military activity such as strikes signalled, but for the rest there is near silence.
There is no coverage of conditions of the continuously displaced, only that displacements continue to take place. There is no coverage of food availability, only blanket statements by international bodies, and occasionally a local tally of diminished flour reserves or bakeries still functioning.
There are reasons for this. Firstly organisation of oversight appears completely interrupted, of both local and any international observers, with any observers gagged from making estimates, and local authorities unable to keep track.
A more chilling reason is the effect of war and starvation on the population. In the link in previous comment to Arch, there are reports there (on homepage somewhere) from Syria on how locals react to the genocidal massacres. They close themselves away and refuse to interact with helpers, for example (over 30 000 Alawites are said to have fled the coast to Lebanon incidentally). That is not Gaza circumstance, but just a broader example of the effects of conflict on the disposition of people. More telling are accounts of the degrading effect of humiliations that run contrary to Palestinian society, of having to accept hand outs of food for example. These realities destroy the dignity of a people, and without doubt are part of a purposeful implementation of destruction of the social fabric of Gaza. They do not compare visibly with the atrocities, and what are people to say there with regard. Now though, well if you read up on the famine in Ireland, people just closed themselves in their homes and starved. They were not forced to do so, but it was all that was left for them to do.
Silently.
Youssef Fares very rarely loses his composure, and he makes no apology, nor needs to, when he does. So I just present his words, and I hope anyone else is also able to read through them to the reality behind:
“The aim of destroying hospitals and shelters in the early hours of the morning is nothing but to create crime. We are facing a criminal terrorist entity devoid of morals, values ​​and human genes, and a mute world that possesses the same genes as this enemy. This night will engrave its bloody details on the “core” of the lowly planet, with its countries, bodies, sheikhdoms, republics, parties, media, minarets and churches, in which I see nothing but the embodiment of the idea of ​​the one-eyed Antichrist. The time has come in which we realize that the Messiah will not be a man, but a world whose components are mute humans… Damn your lives as we are being exterminated… Damn this world.

A couple of suggestions from me have gotten scrambled. I suggested at one point that, since the “mainstream” definition is pro-Palestinian = antisemitic (and antisemitic = pro-Palestinian) that those of us, such as myself, who have long idolized Edward Said for the possibility of healing he tried to bring us Westerners, people who love Palestine, should be proud of the erstwhile-stupid “antisemitic” label.
It’s a fantasy of mine, which apparently went over like a lead balloon. Words about words (i.e. philology) are the most likely constructions to misfire into misunderstanding. I should know better than to try. But history is full of examples of the principle I’m advocating: destroying a verbal toxin by adopting it proudly. (Merl Haggard is “proud to be an Okie from Muskogee” — also, you might have heard what my brothers and sisters call each other.)
An unrelated observation had to do with the difference between anger and hatred. Always the most energetic creativity emerges from anger. Novels, symphonies, and theorems percolate while tossing and turning, patiently nursing a smoldering anger into the finest revenge. Anger is functionally an essential psycho-somatic nutrient.
When and where does it cross over into hatred? For me, it looks like hatred when the flow of angry words (a poke in the chest, for each of the 13 exhibits in his list (at

Note that the US has projected a ceasefire in Gaza being reached in a couple of weeks from now. In other words it is possible mass starvation is thought to be effective by then. A shift of attention to Yemen during this period would therefore be able to be used to camouflage or sideline events occuring in Gaza.

Mixed messages.
Although the message of Islam has been crystal clear for 1400 years that God is One , and the worship of saints and prophets like Esa AS is shirk/ heresy, the attacks on Yazidis, Alawis and Shi’a are clearly enabled by Turkey , which accommodates and shelters thousands of Alawites and Shi’a; enabled by USUKIS who worship Jesus AS and Trinity; and enabled by Conservative elements of Syrian society that have protected and used Alawites and Shi’a in their State apparatus for a thousand years.
The procedure in Islam is to educate, promulgate the Truth , for as long as it takes to make the message clear, that shirk will be severely punished.
HTS , owned, run and paid for by a Saudi-Israeli-US-NATO Turkey Alliance, released under the cover of the USUKIS genocide in Gaza, was released like USUKISHTS onto an unprepared Shi’a community. MIXED MESSAGES are totally unjust.
In Islam you are not even allowed to lie to animals, by shaking their feed in
front of them to call them out of the pasture. The alliances of Political Islam with the Mushriks of USUKIS are mixed messages.
If we’re going to follow Islam, let’s stick to the Rules of Islsm, NOT to make political alliances with the enemies of Islam , USUKIS, who are currently genociding the Muslims of Sham for Greater Israel.

How is my statement “hatred”? If anything it could be construed as a complement (of Jews).
The statement is factual, the founding theories of *modern* western science are disproportionately put forward by Jews, beginning with Relativity. Your Nobel prize racket largely reflects this statement: 22% of the recipients are (ashkenazi, European) Jews, despite the extreme minority of the Jews.
I analysed a long list of the foundational scientific concepts of modern science and in the bulk of them the Jews are put forward as founders. Take a random field, the the field of semantics for example, founded by … Michel Bréal, a Jew.
And one can go on like this until the disturbing trend is revealed.
Feelings of victimisation aside – that entire list of 13 points I made earlier is largely factual it does point to a distorted and alarming influence over the West of a tiny, cult-like, religious minority.

There’s no hate there, no bigotry either. Just a question of why such an odd minority, so at odds with so called “traditional western values” wield so much power across all dimensions of Western existence.

Noticing patterns can’t be called “bigotry”.
If you can explain these patterns, I might be willing to change my mind.

White House Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff appears to confirm tonight on Fox News that the Trump Administration is no longer pushing for the total denuclearization of Iran or the destruction of its nuclear program, instead wishing to impose limits on Iran’s enrichment of uranium and the weaponization of its nuclear program, very similar to the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal.

— 80k troops on West Coast + attacks from Al-Bayda & Taiz
— Hold oil-rich Marib

Moreover, God is with us and the one who will be defeated and taste bitterness and shame here in this world before the hereafter is the enemy by the power of God and His supporters, and the outcome is for the righteous.

The U.S. confirmation that the **USS Harry S. Truman** (CVN-75) is out of service **corroborates reports of severe damage from Houthi missile/drone attacks** in the Red Sea. Here’s why:

https://x.com/DrArshadAfzal1/status/1911711510629433819
Proving once again that large warships are vulnerable to missiles and drones. As seen in the Black Sea by the Russians. Which suggests that Donnies’ Pivot to China is too late. He would be better off “doing a Baerbock” and sticking to places that can’t shoot back – although there won’t be many of those left.
Just as battleships lost to airplanes, Carriers will give way to missiles and drones. (Just as a side note, the Russians are using up to 500 drones PER DAY aginst certain villages and towns. Ukraine is trying to do the same.)

The US is not bombing enough, apparently. I’m so tired of the “news” being about who we are threatening, who we are bombing, who we are going to arm so they can bomb someone in our place………….
Gaza:
——————
The US has approved a new shipment of thousands of bombs for the Israeli Air Force, Hebrew media outlets reported – coming as Tel Aviv is planning to expand its brutal assault on the Gaza Strip. 
“The IDF is set to receive a major arms shipment from the United States in the coming weeks, including more than 3,000 munitions for the Israeli Air Force, as part of its preparations for continued operations in the Gaza Strip and a potential strike on Iran,” Ynet said, citing Israeli officials. 
The shipment aims to “boost readiness” for a large-scale offensive by the Israeli army’s Southern Command. 
Israel is also expected to receive over 10,000 more bombs in the coming months to refill its stocks.
This new arms deal aims to complement a shipment of US MK84 bombs from early this year, when US President Donald Trump unfroze a delivery that had been placed on hold by the former administration in Washington.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced earlier this week that the army is soon going to “vigorously” widen its offensive in Gaza. 
Katz also confirmed the Israeli army’s capture of the newly established Morag Corridor, which has cut off the southernmost city of Rafah from the city of Khan Yunis.
Rafah is now completely surrounded by the military, with the 36th Division holding the Morag Corridor and the Gaza Division operating in the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt–Gaza border area, the military announced on 12 April.[…]
Tel Aviv plans to include all of Rafah in the buffer zone it has created along the borders of Gaza. The city has been almost completely destroyed by Israeli attacks.
Since the recent renewal and expansion of ground operations in Gaza, Israel has taken over at least 50 percent of the strip’s territory. […].
Israel is also hoping to help coordinate and participate in any potential attack on Iran, which Trump has been threatening despite ongoing nuclear negotiations with the Islamic Republic.

Yemen:
——————–
With US support, UAE proxy militias in Yemen are planning a ground offensive to take the port city of Hodeidah from the Ansarallah-led Yemeni government and armed forces, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 15 April, in a move that would reignite the country’s devastating civil war.
“Private American security contractors provided advice to the Yemeni factions on a potential ground operation, people involved in the planning said. The United Arab Emirates, which supports these factions, raised the plan with American officials in recent weeks,” the WSJ wrote.
The ground offensive seeks to take advantage of the recent US bombing campaign targeting the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF).
US officials speaking with the newspaper said Washington has launched more than 350 strikes during its current campaign against Yemen and claim that the YAF has been weakened as a result.[…]

I am still hopeful that Mahmoud Khalil will prevail on appeal. But the ruling by immigration judge Jamee Comans that she “has no authority” to question Marco Rubio’s (false) allegations is a shocking breach of her duties. Immigration judges are not independent Art. III judges, but they are still bound by the Constitution to uphold rights to due process, equal protection, and free speech in deportation proceedings- all of which have been grossly violated in the Mahmoud case. Whether by fear, favor, or incompetence, this is classic judicial abdication. If judges (even immigration judges) do not defend the rule of law, the next step is full-blown fascism or anarchy. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Really? I don’t remember learning in law school the part of the constitution that mandates an authoritarian regime in the U.S. empowering the executive branch to annul constitutional rights by decree. I do remember that immigration judges are duty-bound to uphold due process in all deportation proceedings. But maybe you believe the “truth” is whatever Marco Rubio says it is. My sympathies.

Craig Mokhiber @CraigMokhiber
Yes, I’ve seen the allegations of “omissions”, which are absurd on their face. They have asserted that Khalil didn’t specify in his application that he intended to (exercise his rights) to participate in demonstrations. No such declaration is required and free expression and assembly are (were) rights in the US. One even alleged that the fact he was an intern at a United Nations agency was unacceptable. (The U.S. is a member of the UN and one of its principal funders). He has not been charged with any crime, with any support for any proscribed groups, nor with any offense to his immigration status.
Voila. The government is persecuting a lawful resident for the crime of exercising his own constitutionally guaranteed human rights in order to defend the human rights of others through free speech and assembly. You are ok with that, and you even chose to defend the human rights violators, presumably because they share your politics. But remember: rights lost to one are lost to all. Don’t be so sure that you are immune from government abuse of power. The knock can come on any door.

some anti-genocide people unfurled a Free Palestine flag behind Bernie Sanders at his rally just now and police thugs arrested them as Bernie Sanders looked on and let it happen without saying a word. A minute earlier Sanders said “Israel has the right to defend itself” and repeated his lie about “not one more nickel to Netanyahu” when he opposes sanctions and an actual arms embargo and to this day refuses to recognize the genocide
this is not the first time pro-Palestine people have been arrested and removed from Bernie Sanders events with his approval. He actually began his presidential run in 2016 by violently removing those who dared expose his relentless Zionist propaganda lies…..

🇵🇸BREAKING: Palestinian Factions Reject Demands for Disarmament, Call New Ceasefire Proposal a “Political Trap”
In a new statement, the Follow-up Committee of the National and Islamic Forces — which includes Hamas and other Gaza-based factions — condemned the latest ceasefire proposal, saying it demands disarmament of Palestinian resistance while offering no real guarantees to end Israel’s “war of extermination.”
The committee warned that “any ceasefire that lacks real guarantees for an end to the war, a complete withdrawal, lifting the siege, and reconstruction will be a political trap that perpetuates the occupation rather than resisting it.”
They accused the U.S. of arming Israel with “lethal weapons and heavy bombs” while focusing global attention on “the primitive weapon of the victim,” used only in self-defense. The statement also blamed Netanyahu for obstructing a previous three-stage agreement and described the current focus on disarmament as a “major deception operation” meant to deflect from Israel’s refusal to end the war.
The full statement shared on Hamas’ official telegram is below:
Statement from Hamas:
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Press Release Issued by the Follow-up Committee of the National and Islamic Forces
The Follow-up Committee of the National and Islamic Forces has followed the news circulating about the new ceasefire proposal, which includes a clause to disarm the resistance and hand over Zionist prisoners to the occupation without any real guarantees to end the war of extermination against our people and a complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
In this context, the Follow-up Committee of the National and Islamic Forces emphasizes the following:
1. We reject the logic that exaggerates the primitive weapon of the (victim) intended only for self-defense, at a time when the United States is announcing the delivery of a large batch of lethal weapons and heavy bombs to the (murderous) occupation, which are being dropped on the heads of our defenseless people.
2. The Gaza Strip represents a security zone for the Arab Republic of Egypt, separating it from the enemy of the Arab nation. The people of the Gaza Strip represent the vanguard of the Egyptian army and its primary protector. Egypt also represents strategic depth for the Palestinians.
3. Any ceasefire that lacks real guarantees for an end to the war, a complete withdrawal, lifting the siege, and reconstruction will be a political trap that perpetuates the occupation rather than resisting it. Mediators and the international community must exert pressure on the Zionist occupation, which has historically been known for its reneging on all agreements and understandings.
4. A major deception operation is underway, focusing on the issue of disarming the victim, while the core of the problem lies in the occupation’s refusal to implement the three-stage agreement agreed to and adhered to by the Palestinian side. The Zionist community itself realizes that Netanyahu is the one who thwarted the ceasefire agreement, amid deadly international complicity and silence.

There were many people after World War II that claimed “We didn’t know!” And we could appreciate that that was true in many instances. Just as often it seemed to be a case of “We didn’t want to know.”
And I thank you and I both know that an unknown but huge number of those people were just lying. They knew. And just like today they were silent if they weren’t cheering it on.
So if a lot of us understood this, it’s good to see he now understands it. My intent wasn’t to question is truthfulness.
What I’m getting at is that this is a shallow understanding. Human Nature is not all that great, sure.
I read a lot of expert geopolitical opinion year and on other media. Far in excess of my own.
However I don’t consider any of that to be addressing root causes. The biological imperatives, biases and brain architecture that determines how we think and act. And how little Free Will has to do with it.
I see society as an emergent phenomena grounded in the village more fundamentally in the familial structure. Though you’d want to limit that to mammals. Whoever we share a lot of DNA with both insects and primordial life.
I imagine murderous ex lovers hate each other to the same extent that these combatants do. I see a connection there.
As a species, and that includes all of us here, we are a genocidal by Nature. You can rationalize that in terms of biology easy enough. Is that his understanding?
While and that is mine, that is a painfully simplistic understanding and more grounded in beliefs and ideology than it is in science.
Be that as it may. I “feel” it is correct.

I want to introduce you all to a Palestinian-Dutch photographer, Sakir Khader, whose exhibition in Amsterdam I visited yesterday.
Images from his documentary about the death and funeral of the seven Palestinian young men, that the exhibition is about, will stay with me forever. Especially the gestures of affection and desperate grief of the male mourners, their family, friends, neighbours, comrades.
Such documentaries need to be shown on all televisions in the world so humanity can confront the true, full senselessness and waste of hatred and war.
Khader is the first Palestinian Magnum photographer.
Please see his Magnum page, where you will also find some of his work currently exhibited in the Photo Museum Amsterdam (FOAM).
