Biden wants a more limited IDF operation in Rafah. That is actually less of a problem for Israel than it might seem. Why? >>>>

The IDF releases new footage from Hamas GoPros and Israeli dashcams showing attacks on Israeli drivers. Note that some terrorists are dressed as IDF soldiers. This is a small piece of the footage shown to foreign journalists by the GPO today.

IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi to Majdal Shams community leaders: the attack will be met with a “very significant response” from Israel. He adds that Hezbollah “does not distinguish between killing Druze or Jews.”

13) The Biden admin hasnt made it easier to reach a deal, consistently undermining Israel's position by criticizing Isr publicly. Blinken repeated US opposition to Rafah just last week. This only encourages Sinwar to keep waiting and let cracks widen bw Israel and its allies.

NBC: @POTUS tells the Pentagon to review which weapons requested by Israel could be slowed or halted to pressure Israel to allow more humanitarian aid or reduce the intensity of the war on Hamas. It is only looking into offensive munitions, incl. 155 mm shells and JDAMs.

Where things stand on the hostage talks 🧵 - 1) There was optimism in @netanyahu 's circles on Saturday that a deal would be reached in the coming days. 2) Hamas didn't totally reject Israel's offer - which Blinken and Cameron called 'generous' - but came back with new demands.>

What to know about the delay of some US weapons to Israel🧵 On Monday, WSJ reported that the US is holding up the transfer of some weapons. Yesterday, the Biden administration confirmed the delay. This marks the first halt of US weapons transfers to Israel since Oct. 7 >>>

7/ What was he told? "[You're] an Israeli government spoxman. That’s your title. Run with it" So he ran with it until 3 weeks ago when he got a phone call saying he was suspended. "I said, For how long? He said, I don’t know. For now, no interviews and no press conferences."

It's actually kind of impressive in a twisted way that the @guardian can write an entire op-ed on the war in Gaza without even mentioning Hamas or Oct 7.

The Guardian view on the catastrophe in Gaza: it must not be overshadowed by the Iran crisis |...

Editorial: Hopes of a ceasefire have ebbed, concerns about an assault on Rafah endure, and aid remains wholly insufficient

IDF's @cogatonline tells me: 1. They can inspect 44 trucks an hour at Kerem Shalom. That is far more than can be processed on the Gaza side. 2. Israel has placed "absolutely no limit on the amount of aid" going in to Gaza. 3...>
