Israel’s resumed offensive in Gaza has killed hundreds, displaced thousands, and blocked aid. Analysts warn it is a push for forced exile ⤵
As Gaza genocide resumes, is Trump’s cleansing plan the endgame?

NEVER FORGET: there was a ceasefire agreement in place that would have led to the release of all the hostages. Israel’s government decided it would rather go back to slaughtering Palestinians, even at the risk of killing its own people in Gaza. The goal is depopulation. Full stop.
So, Israel ended the ceasefire 3 weeks ago. Has it recovered a single hostage through the killing spree that has commenced? No.

This is a clear, unveiled message of intent to commit genocide. Either by extermination of the population or ethnic cleansing. Whatever happened to ‘never again’? What happened to ‘responsibility to protect’? Here it is, the crime of crimes happening in front of our eyes.

However late, and with whatever flaws, the Egypt Plan is critical to countering Israel's aim to depopulate Gaza. But its sponsors need to go to Washington immediately to get backing from Trump, and have a contingency plan in place if that fails. Are they ready to stand up to Israel and the US?
