Been hearing the same crap for over 80 days now, that biden is putting pressure, it's really just a fake showing that the US some what cares about Palestinians  but reality they just passed another 14 billion for israel too keep doing  genocide. The people in power here are basically zionists.

Yes, but things are slowly changing. Whether it will be enough to actually get anywhere, I don't know.

Will Israel listen to the US?

We’re unlikely to see the United States give up on its support for Israel. But yesterday, Joe Biden’s White House issued a memorandum which tightens up the obligations of the White House and the Congress to ensure that international recipients of US military aid adhere to international law. And there are mechanisms in that to make sure that the president acts if he has been told by the US State Department that recipients are not compliant with international law. Will Israel listen to this?

We understand that the Rafah operation has been delayed. Is that because they’re still tidying up in Khan Younis? Is it because they were giving space for ceasefire negotiations to play out? Or, is it because they are listening to the United States.

We don’t know yet, but there are also reports in Israeli media, citing unnamed officials, saying that when Israeli forces do go into Rafah, it’s unlikely to be a wide-scale assault as they have done in previous parts of the Gaza Strip. It’s more likely to be targeted raids, but we’ll have to wait and see as to whether that plays out or not.

Even that still sounds too optimistic when this is reported right alongside


Bodies blown out of building bombed by Israel in Rafah: Witness

Salem Al Rayyes, a Palestinian freelance journalist living at a camp for displaced people in southern Rafah city, says children are among the dead when an Israeli missile slammed into a house in an area nearby. “They were asleep in the early hours of Friday around dawn,” he wrote on Facebook. “The explosion rocked the ground under our feet and the sound still echoes in our ears.”

He said the bodies of victims “flew from the third floor before they fell on the ground outside the building [and] on the cars inside the narrow alley and in the vicinity of nearby houses”.

Women and children main casualties of Israeli strikes

We’re seeing more targeting of residential homes in the eastern part of Rafah – an area that’s very close to the Egyptian-Gaza border. We also see targeting of the western part of the city, which is a densely populated area with buildings very close to each other and the evacuation zones to further the western part of the city.

So far, we’ve seen eight people from two families killed in residential homes where they had been sheltering. Most of the casualties now are women and children, and that’s the pattern that we’ve been seeing over and over. They are the dominating casualty figures right now compared to the overall casualties. But an even more shocking pattern that we’re witnessing is the fact that every day we’re seeing almost 120 people being killed, and this is something that’s been going on for quite a while.

Yea will israel listen to the US lol it's obviously just a act to no make the biden not look evil and try to get some votes. yea israel is gonna listen mean while they wanna rush billions in aid for weapons to kill more children.
