As the UN Security Council passed a binding U.S.-sponsored resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza on Monday, Israel continued to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza — despite U.S. officials’ insistence that the ceasefire is backed by Israeli officials.
Hamas officials have said that they accept the resolution and look forward to negotiating details like how many Palestinian prisoners will be released, Reuters reports, citing senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri. Zuhri added that it is up to the U.S. to decide whether or not it will put proper pressure on Israel to abide by the plan.
In response to President Joe Biden’s announcement of the U.S.’s three-phase ceasefire agreement at the end of May, Netanyahu said that a ceasefire was a “non-starter” until Gaza “no longer poses a threat to Israel.”
Further undermining U.S. officials’ claims that Israel agrees to the ceasefire resolution is the fact that Israel has continued shelling Gaza and killing Palestinians in the time around and after the vote.
The Gaza health ministry reported on Tuesday that Israel had killed 40 Palestinians and wounded 120 in the previous 24 hours, while video posted online showed Israel shelling tents in a supposed safe zone in central Gaza on Tuesday.

So… Is it a genocide now? Or are we going to wait until Jared Kushner takes advantage of the “prime real estate”?

you still can’t prove intent - - those still arguing it isn’t a fucking genocide
Ah. I just figured it all out. This was part of his peace in the east plan except trump was supposed to be in power so Israel and Russia can push facism and genocide
Why are you getting down voted? That sounds about right and why all these dictators and genocides are loving Trump. Its probably not a close knit plan, more like a dictator to dickhole vibe check.
Yeah. I was just memeing. Surprised by the votes but 🤷♂️
No matter how many Palestians get killed or schools and hospitals get bombed, when it finally stops, the US will parade around that brief moment of peace as some great, masterful example of diplomacy.
There will be no retribution or justice for the Palestinian people.
I hope you’re wrong, Palestinians deserve human rights like everyone else. Colonialism is far from peace
Me too.
What if the US had to deploy troops to enforce this?
I mean, could you imagine?
US troops, in the Middle East, fighting against a regime that we propped up, using weapons we gave them?
I mean, what a strange and unprecedented turn of events!
Aside from the irony, it honestly wouldn’t be a bad idea to setup a demarc zone with US troops, similar to how Russia placed one in Azerbaijan and Armenia.
It would at least for the time being ensure the ceasefire actually holds, instead of expecting Israel not to break their “assurances” for the nth time.
If I were Grand Poobah, the entire area would be a special UN administrative zone until something equitable could be worked out between Israelis and Palestinians, no matter how long that took.
I would also be in favor of the original plan of making Jerusalem such a city permanently.

Bruh I only mentioned Russia because it was a recent event, they just happened to play the intermediary.
It could be literally any other neutral country because its just a DMZ.
Least shocking headline ever.
Hamas continues to hold Israeli citizens hostage after UN Security Council Passes Binding Ceasefire Resolution.
As the UN Security Council passed a binding U.S.-sponsored resolution calling for Hamas to release hostages on Monday, Hamas continues to keep civilians hostage, which is a war crime.
Israel has accepted the US ceasefire proposal while Hamas only agrees to hold more “indirect talks” with mediators.
The Hamas war crime of taking civilians hostage continues, and people continue to die while Hamas stalls on these endless talks.
