French, Saudi summit on Gaza to serve as ‘point of no return for two-state solution’: Report:

According to neolib englander fishwrap the guardian the whitehouse is currently working on a plan to move 1 million Palestinians out of Gaza, shifting tham to Libya.
The details are even fouler as it involves returning to one of the two faux national governments some of the hundreds of millions of dollars amerika stole from Libya, if they do as instructed:

“NBC News is reporting that the Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya.
Two people familiar with the move said that the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya’s leadership.
In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the US froze more than a decade ago.
No final agreement has been reached, according to the news outlet, and Israel has been kept informed of the administration’s discussions.”

The flaws are obvious but I reckon trumpco is goin hard on this one, presumably to demonstrate that if you combine two bad things IE ethnic cleansing and stealing other nations assets you can create something truly evil.

France has no legitimacy in the Middle East whatsoever. Nothing that MacWrong could ever say about the Middle East could ever succeed, because his backers are the Rottweilers, Nazi zionist scum.
The only way forward in Sham is for a future , overwhelming and complete destruction of Israel , the destruction of its European inhabitants who must face the Amalek genocide they tried to impose on the people of Sham.
They will never be allowed to return to the hovels they crawled from in Poland, Britain, France, Ukraine. Justice fir Zionists will be the total ransacking of their disgusting religion.

At the moment, Trump is threatening to unleash US captives from Islamic State held in Syria into the entire region.
As Pereshkian has said, the US will never succeed by using theats against Iran. Trump uses threats all the time, thinking he has the Israel lobby behind him.
Jolani is one of those dogs. He has demonstrated his persistence in genociding minorities under his jurisdiction. In the Syrian War Islamic State was thinly disguised as an opposition , terrorist movement.
That is no longer the case. The mask has come off. Jolani is a USUKIS terrorist on the books of USUKIS colonialism.
USUKIS no longer cares whether the world knows that they directly employ Islamist
terrorists to achieve global hegemony.
This is supreme arrogance on the part of the Nests of US power in London and other Western capitals, brazenly stating their Crusader intention in Asia against Islam. Jolani’s beliefs have nothing to do with Islam, and everything to do with US Imperialism.
The mask is off. From now on , Political Islam = USUKIS = ZIONISM.

The messages from Gaza are horrifying. As Palestinians scream for help and post their goodbyes, there is barely a whisper from the media, our officials are silent and the international community is useless.
There is no more humanity in a society that normalizes genocide.

The U.S. has all the leverage it needs to compel Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire. If Trump wanted, he could force Netanyahu to agree to it by using weapons shipments as leverage. Instead, they continue to supply the bombs obliterating entire families right now. History will remember the role of Trump in this genocide.

Regardless of what Trump opines publicly, Hamas gets the last word.
The resistance will always have the last word.
It might be a last gasp, but they hold the initiative.

Macron is like a monkey directing traffic on the shoulders of the Orangatan. Trump points right and the monkey points left. Totally organised opposition, like a Hogarth Cartoon.
Our eyes are not deceived by the monkey about the temptations Trump is offering, transferring all Palestine to Israel.
Trump wants total ethic cleansing and the little monkey is chattering two state solutions. Sickening.
Horrible little man!

‘Israel’ bombs Yemen’s Hodeidah, al-Salif ports
The Israeli occupation launches strikes on al-Salif and al-Hodeidah ports in western Yemen, as the Israeli regime continues to escalate against Yemen.
The Israeli occupation launched fresh aggression on Yemen early Friday, targeting critical infrastructure in the country’s west.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Yemen, Israeli strikes hit both the al-Salif Port and the al-Hodeidah Port, both in al-Hodeidah Governorate along the Red Sea coast.
The two strategic maritime facilities were targeted simultaneously, marking a significant escalation by the Israeli occupation…….

The United Kingdom’s government is facing a High Court challenge over the export of F-35 jet components used by Israel.
Co-claimants Al-Haq, a Palestinian rights organisation, and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) are behind the case.
“We’re going to court to try to force the government to stop supplying F-35 components to Israel,” Jennine Walker, a lawyer with GLAN and the legal firm Bindmans, representing Al-Haq, told Al Jazeera.
The four-day case began on Tuesday, as Israel’s onslaught in Gaza continues with the aid of F-35 jets, having already killed more than 61,700 people.

Journalist Suhaib Al-Masalma,
“What is understood from Trump’s statement today is that Hamas was subjected to a joint Qatari-American deception regarding the handover of Idan Alexander. Aid was supposed to enter Gaza, immediate negotiations were supposed to take place, and a ceasefire was supposed to be established in Gaza under Qatari-American guarantees. This did not happen, and Trump declared from the Qatari Al-Udeid base that Hamas is a terrorist organization and deserves what the occupation army is doing to it, and that Gaza must be administered by the United States.
Aid did not enter, and no breakthrough was made in the negotiations and ceasefire. The occupation announced the launch of Operation Gideon Vehicles after Trump left the Middle East”

This kind of two-faced diplomacy is what is now generated by corporate group think by AI. How to present the totally unacceptable and immoral, in language that depicts positive outcomes.
Trump stands for genocide and annihilation, but the AI creates references to duty and freedom.
Headstands for Jewish racism and White supremacy, but AI clothes his narrative with allusions to Libyan USUKIS Islamist Terrorism.
To sentence Palestinans to exile in Libya is to sentence them to the Takfiri headchoppers of the Jolani butchers.
It’s a sick joke from a machine, spoken by a human. Actual Double-think acrmtually being spoken by what we assume is a human being , although I am
beginning to have my doubts about how much of Trump is Trump and how much is brainwashed programming.
Obama is fully double think. Biden’s programming ain’t senile, the only senile bit is Biden.

“Netanyahu succeeded in creating the ideal atmosphere for Trump to collect tribute money from Arab rulers and kings. Money paid to replenish the depleted stockpile of ammunition that crushed the tender, soft bodies of our children and tore the bodies of our women and men to shreds in Gaza. This is no exaggeration, as everyone knows that most of the money collected by America will go to finance the dirtiest American weapons factories in history.
And as soon as the collection process was completed, the Nazi Zionist war machine returned to pour its lava once again on the heads of the innocent, reassured that the ammunition had been paid for until the end of Trump’s term, and perhaps beyond.
What shame is this that cloaks the nation?
What face will these rulers stand before God and history?
And what will they say to their grandchildren when they see the shame of silence and complicity written in their records?!
God is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs.”

Hamas Says Witkoff Personally Promised to Lift Gaza Blockade in Exchange for Edan Alexander
A senior Hamas official told Drop Site that the group received a direct commitment from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, that two days after the release of U.S. citizen and Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, the Trump administration would compel Israel to lift the Gaza blockade and allow humanitarian aid to enter the territory. Witkoff, according to the official, also promised that Trump would make a public call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for negotiations aimed at achieving a “permanent ceasefire.”
“It was a deal,” said Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau who has previously engaged in direct talks with U.S. officials. He said the pledge was made by “Witkoff, himself.” In an interview with Drop Site, Naim said the agreement was: “If we release [Alexander], Trump will speak out thanking Hamas for its gesture, obliging Israel on the second day to open the borders and allow aid to come into Gaza, and [Trump would] call for an immediate ceasefire and to go for negotiations to end the war.”
“He did nothing of this,” Naim added. “They didn’t violate the deal. They threw it in the trash.”…..

I thought Trump was considering asking Syria to take Palestinians – it seems unreal that any country can be allowed to simply chase another country’s population into another place on a whim…. But Libya?? Poor wretched Libya has a couple of “governments” claiming to run the country and what once was the crown jewel of Africa has been turned into a feral, desperate outpost by Obama and H. Clinton. (Oh, and France helped with that, too.)
Make the Palestinians go there and they will be sold in slave markets.
