An #AI generated text and image from yesterday's news:

Hamas has agreed to resume ceasefire talks and plans to release Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli hostage. This encouraging development follows a proposal from U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, potentially paving the way for further dialogue and peace efforts in the ongoing conflict.

“What began as a liberatory demand by Rep. Cori Bush and grassroots peace advocates has now been fully co-opted…. The so-called ceasefire negotiations are a form of camouflage that is being deployed…to distract from the reality of…support for Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza.”

Continued thread

No retaliation to @israel assassinations in foreign countries:

An Arab diplomat from the Gulf said: “@iran desperately wants an off-ramp”.

An expert said: “The fact is that very significant figures in Iran have argued against responding. By their narrative, Netanyahu wants to burn the region down and pull the US into a wider war. Why should Iran fall into the trap?”

Democracy Now! | InvidiousHow U.S. Military Support Is Undercutting Ceasefire Talks, Prolonging WarSupport our work: https://www.democracynow.org/donate?campaign=sm-desc-yt&utm_campaign=sm-desc-yt&utm_content=description&utm_medium=social&utm_source=youtube As Israel continues its relentless bombardment and siege of Gaza, where hunger and dehydration have reached deadly levels, Hamas has accused Israel of "thwarting" efforts to reach a ceasefire deal. A Hamas delegation in Cairo said that Israel has insisted on rejecting elements of a deal for a phased process that would culminate in an end to Israel's assault on Gaza, as well as ensuring the entry of aid and facilitating the return of displaced Palestinians back to their homes in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing Hamas to accept the terms on the table, claiming that a "rational" offer had been made for a six-week truce in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages. The White House statements seem to be "a very politically calculated move so that they can essentially point the blame at Hamas if this fails," says Tahani Mustafa, senior Palestine analyst at the International Crisis Group. Mustafa also provides updates on UNRWA's collapsing operations, repression in the West Bank and the utility of international law for Palestine today.
