Lloyd Austin speaks with Yoav Gallant about ‘shift to low-intensity operations’ in Gaza

The US defence secretary spoke with the Israeli defence minister about shifting to “low-intensity operations in Gaza”, support for a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border and stability in the occupied West Bank.

Austin also reportedly “thanked Minister Gallant for his efforts” in ensuring the uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The UN and humanitarian agencies have repeatedly said aid entering Gaza is only a fraction of what’s needed on the ground in the besieged enclave. On Thursday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, “Everyone is hungry in Gaza”.




Oh and they have been talking about a shift to low-intensity operations for nearly 2 months now

You can't make this shit up

Israeli PM defends illegal settlers despite surge in attacks across occupied West Bank

Many statements from Israeli officials essentially are downplaying settler violence across the occupied West Bank against Palestinians.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that a majority of those who live in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank are “law-abiding citizens”. Many of them are currently serving in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Netanyahu then ended his statement by saying that anyone who violates Israel’s laws is prosecuted.

The 'law-abiding citizens' are currently committing war crimes in Gaza...
The Westbank is not Israel, it's military occupied Palestine.
Administrative Detention without access to legal representation is not prosecution, it's abduction and illegal detainment.
Military courts with 99% conviction rates and forced confessions is not prosecution either.
Settlers hardly ever get arrested, and even if arrested they get released again, while Palestinians get 20 years for throwing rocks.
