"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.

“Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "

"Convoys of civilians that headed towards their villages on January 26 were fired on by Israeli troops. At least 27 people were killed and over 150 wounded, according to the Lebanese health ministry. Since then, displaced residents have camped outside of their villages in protest in a tense standoff with the Israeli military."

"Well-placed sources in Amman and Jerusalem told MEE that the last thing #Jordan wants is war and it is eager for a peaceful solution. But they are adamant that the ##Jordanians will close the border if refugees begin to cross into the country.

If the #Israelis seek to re-open it, that would be "a casus belli," one source said.

The Jordanians are under no illusion they could win a war with #Israel, but believe they would have no choice but to fight. "

"Yesterday, Trump made a series of incendiary statements suggesting he supported the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip and the displacement of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan. (Both governments have said they would oppose such moves.)"

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said Israel is preventing the entry of essential humanitarian aid, including tents, gas and heavy equipment to clear rubble, despite the ceasefire.

Qassem also stated that Israel is creating difficulties in implementing the humanitarian pathway under the ceasefire agreement.

The spokesperson called on mediators to "intervene and take care of issues with the enacting of the humanitarian protocol in the ceasefire agreement".

Statement | Jewish Voice for Peace Opposes Trump’s Plan to Silence and Deport Anti-War Students - #JVP (2025-01-29)

“Donald Trump is reportedly planning to continue his violent crusade aimed at gutting freedom and democracy with an Executive Order today calling for the deportation of non-citizen anti-war activists, with a particular focus on students. This is a vile attempt to sow fear and crush political dissent to the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as to further the far-Right’s broader anti-immigrant agenda. Should there be any attempt to enforce this authoritarian, unconstitutional, and violent executive order, we call on elected officials, university administrators, and all people of conscience to boldly reject these orders…”

"Three students from Columbia University filed a lawsuit on Monday morning against the school administration for their suspensions related to their pro-Palestine activism on campus. Among the claims in the complaint, the students state that the university violated its own policies during the disciplinary process, that the university targeted the students for their views, and that it violated New York’s landlord tenant laws when it evicted the students from university housing."

Genocide as colonial erasure - Report of Francesca Albanese, the #UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 - Question of Palestine (2024-10-01)

“In the present [October 2024] report, the Special Rapporteur expands the analysis of the post-7 October 2023 violence against Gaza, which has spread to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. She focuses on genocidal intent, contextualising the situation within a decades-long process of territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing aimed at liquidating the Palestinian presence in Palestine. She suggests that genocide should be seen as integral and instrumental to the aim of full Israeli colonization of Palestinian land while removing as many Palestinians as possible…”

Press Release
January 29, 2025

"Benjamin Kersten, a Jewish student at UCLA who joined the student encampment against the Israeli military’s genocide last spring:

“This Executive Order has the potential to rip apart our communities, destroy my fellow classmates’ lives, and set a precedent that allows for authoritarian attacks on any group that opposes the MAGA agenda. As a Jewish student I refuse to allow my identity to be fuel for fascist crackdown on my fellow students.”"

Unbelievable, for 15 months they prevented food and medicine to enter #Gaza and when their #POWs released healthy and happy, they come up with these ridiculous cheap #propaganda posts.
