Here's what the situation looks like on the ground (bear in mind I'm not exactly an expert in war).

The Palestinian resistance fighters (it's not just Hamas you guys, every Palestinian militia is fighting right now) have been baiting Israeli forces into a ground battle ever since the operation started. IDF isn't exactly the best at on the ground battles which is why they usually prefer using their air force and long distance artillery. And also because Iran and Lebanon have indicated they will join the war if there's a ground operation in Gaza.

In preparation for this, Hamas and other groups have struck military bases and have taken equipment back to Gaza. In addition to weapons from Iran and Hezbollah, the fighters now have Israeli military weapons in their possession and they've been using them.

So far, Palestinian fighters seem to be achieving their objectives.

The Israeli response to the attack has been chaotic, careless and haphazard, something that has angered Israeli citizens. It took them hours to organise a coordinated response. The Iron Dome was rendered useless as thousands of rockets were launched into Israel.

There has been multiple reported cases of high ranking officers being killed

Many Arab military groups have either joined in or announced that they will join the fight so we might be looking at a regional war here.

This by the way is a big blow to Israel. It, alongside the US, has been working to normalise relations with Saudi and Emirati States like UAE.

So how long will this conflict last? All indicators point to 'a long while.'

The Israeli government has said this will be a long, difficult war for them.

Hamas has refused a ceasefire and is also prepared for a long conflict in Gaza and other Occupied territories (I've seen people say there's no fighting in the West Bank and that this is a Hamas only operation but that's not true)

I don't know what is going to happen next but I also don't think Israeli forces are going to crush Palestinian fighters quickly like a lot of people are expecting.

The casualties are already very high.

This is shaping up to be a very bloody conflict on both sides.

Efforts will focus on rebuilding infrastructure, restoring services, and re-establishing Palestinian Authority institutions. It will also aim to complete Palestinian reconciliation, by starting a dialogue between Fatah and Hamas to achieve a consensus that ensures Hamas' acceptance of the committee and the international mission. The document indicates a timetable for initial steps, including issuing a presidential decree to form a new Palestinian Authority government and establishing a Gaza committee.

The plan has been pushed by the UAE for months, and the US has been receptive to it.  Axios says, "Israeli officials say Netanyahu liked many parts of the Emirati plan but opposes the more politically-charged aspects, particularly the involvement of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza and the two-state solution vision."

But the response from the PA was a resounding "no." Not a "we'll study it," not a "it has interesting ideas that we may want to keep." Just "strong opposition" to the plan that would force them to eliminate corruption.

So what's their plan?  They don't have one. 

They haven't said anything except for rejecting every other idea. They don't want any responsibility for governing Gaza - or the West Bank, to be honest. They want the trappings of government without any of the hard work.

The reason is that the PA likes having Hamas in charge of Gaza. It gives them an excuse for not solving problems. It allows them to pretend to be the "good cop" in the region and be honored as a real government of a real state. They like Hamas terrorism. They tacitly supported October 7. 

The PA's goals have always been to destroy Israel, and any plan that allows Israel to continue to exist and to be able to defend itself is unacceptable. 

Rejectionism is much easier than governing. Especially when the entire idea of a Palestinian state has always been to eventually replace Israel, not to live side by side with it.

Mariam Mansour, a Palestinian woman, tells her story of going through childbirth in Gaza during this genocide,

"I never imagined that my child's birth will be in tents, displaced as we are, helpless, humiliated, and desperate. After more than 100 days of displacement, tiredness, and hard days along with the hardship of pregnancy, i can only say that our souls dissipated. On the 15th of January 2024 and in the Emirati Hospital in Rafah, which treats about two-thirds of the bank with indescribable difficulty, I was among dozens of women going through labor. I had to wait in a chair like many others waiting for an empty bed. After two hours, they finally found a bed for me to go and suffer through my labor without help or care. Not even a cover. I cried a lot because of the cold and my helplessness and the helplessness of those around me. You can't even find the communications to call a keen and tell them what you need or where you are.

But child birth is a miracle by Allah's care and bless.

After my child was born, there was no place for me to wait for postpartum care or even a cover to help me against the stabbing cold. I had to take some painkillers and leave at 12 midnight in a cab to go an even colder tent. The cab wasn't allowed to go into the refugees area. It was a long distance and I couldn't walk or even stand.

I found an injured young man in a wheelchair. He felt sorry for me and gave me his chair.

I went back to the far, far away cold tent in the long night to face another challenge with my newborn girl, trying to forget our primitive rights of water, food, and clothes"

Each image lists the casualties in columns left to right for Israel, Gaza, and the Occupied West Bank; deaths in the top row, injured in the second.

Notice anything weird about these numbers?

1400. That number has been thrown around since the beginning. But weirdly enough we didn’t actually get to 1400 in the official count until 10 days after Oct 7th. At which point the Gazan death toll had long exceeded this number. And then…. It stagnates.

The number of Palestinian casualties, both deaths and injuries, continues to rise every single day (i couldn’t include every graphic due to tumblr’s image limit).

The Israeli death toll remains 1400. Until, on Nov 16, it is updated. To 1200. Because approximately 200 of them were Hamas corpses burnt beyond recognition.

It wasn’t 1400 when Israel launched its retaliation. And it’s still not 1400 now, 45 days later.

An unknown number of the “verified” 1200 are confirmed to have been killed by friendly fire from the IOF. And among those 1200, about half or more were IOF or police. There were at most 600 civilians.

So my question is, if Israel wants to justify its genocidal carnage by claiming that Hamas massacred civilians, tell me exactly how many civilians Hamas killed. And how many did Israel kill?

And if Israel turns out to be responsible for more deaths on Oct 7th than Hamas, what will you zionist fuckwads say to the 13 THOUSAND Gazans and counting who have been killed?

The 1.5million who have been displaced?

The thousands now dying of cholera, one of the most treatable plagues, because the treatment is clean water and salt, and there is none to be had of either?

What will you say to the 5.5 thousand dead children, the 1.7 thousand lost under rubble, the 3 children that were killed in the time it took me to write this post, and the 8 premature infants that died because Israel decided to besiege every hospital in the territory?

Don’t you dare say that this is being done to free Palestine from terrorists. The only ones inflicting terror on Palestine right now are the Israeli occupation.

Edit: only 8 of the 39 Al-Shifa premies have died, 28 have been evacuated to Egypt, and 3 remain in the Emirati hospital at the Rafah border.

[eretzyisrael]

by Judith Miller

Last fall, Egypt was on the brink of economic collapse. A decade of debt-fueled spending on a pharaonic-scale had emptied its Central Bank coffers. By February, Cairo’s public debt was 89% of its gross domestic product. External debt had soared to 46% of GDP. The pound, its currency, was one of the world’s worst performing. Unable to import supplies and repatriate profits, foreign companies were leaving, or threatening to leave Egypt in droves. Annual inflation was over 35%, and double that for some food staples. Egypt seemed on the verge of a sovereign default—its first ever.

Then came Oct. 7.

Officials, businessmen, and financial analysts say that however horrific the war has been for Israelis and for Palestinians in Gaza, Oct. 7 has helped save Egypt from economic ruin and growing political unrest. To be sure, Egypt is paying heavily for the ongoing Israel-Hamas war on its border. Its three main sources of revenue—hard currency from the Suez Canal, tourism, and remittances from Egyptian workers abroad—have plummeted by between 30% and 40%. But without Hamas’ horrific massacre, which killed 1,200 people and took another 240 hostage, and Israel’s much criticized retaliation in Gaza, Egypt would probably not have gotten the international financial lifeline that has rescued it yet again from economic ruin, just in time.

“Just after the attack, the government began strategizing, successfully it’s turned out, about how to use the crisis to secure a bailout,” said Ahmed Aboudouh, an Egyptian expert at Chatham House, a London-based think tank. “Oct. 7 helped save Egypt’s economy, at least temporarily.”

Last February, the Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ), Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund, unveiled plans to develop a city by the sea on part of the 65-square-mile peninsula of Ras el-Hekma, one of the few undeveloped areas on the Mediterranean coast, part of a sale worth $35 billion in investment and debt relief, the largest foreign direct investment deal in Egyptian history. Egypt will retain a 35% stake in the project. Since Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the chairman of ADQ, is Emirati President Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan’s brother and the UAE’s national security adviser, the Ras el-Hekma purchase was far more than a financial transaction. It was part of an Egyptian bailout.

Egyptians bristle at the loss of their nation’s diplomatic clout. By reviving its regional profile, Oct. 7 has bestowed another gift on Egypt.

Then in March, Cairo secured a critical $8 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund, with strong American support. The IMF infusion, in turn, opened other foreign faucets. The European Union promptly agreed to provide another $8 billion in grants and loans, ostensibly to help Egypt’s economy, but in reality, to assure Egypt’s help in preventing Arab and African migrants from reaching European shores. In total, the IMF, Europe, and the Gulf have now poured well over $50 billion of foreign currency into Egypt’s cash-strapped coffers. “The U.S., Europe, and the Gulf clearly agreed that the Sissi government could not be permitted to fail,” said Steven Cook, an expert on Egypt at the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations. “Geopolitics has taken over.”

Only months before, the IMF had not completed the review of Egypt’s loan agreement approved in December 2022, thereby withholding a tranche of the $3 billion rescue package, as the government had failed to deliver on agreed benchmarks. While the fund attributed its about-face in March to the increasing damage being done to Egypt’s economy by the Israel-Hamas war—or what it euphemistically called a “more challenging external environment”—absent American pressure on the fund and on Egypt to agree belatedly to financial reforms it had previously rejected, the IMF loan and even the Ras el-Hekma deal would not have gone through. Since Washington is the fund’s largest shareholder with a 16.5% stake, it holds sway over its key lending decisions.

The Biden administration, too, was obviously unwilling to risk the economic collapse and political destabilization of the Arab Middle East’s largest country and the first Arab state to make peace with neighboring Israel in the midst of one of the region’s deadliest wars in modern history and with other conflicts around it still raging—especially since Egyptian mediation with Hamas was crucial to White House policy. “Egypt has proven, yet again,” said Aboudouh, “that it is, as its elite believes, too big to fail.”

6 October 2024: King Abdullah II and United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan held talks that covered the deep-rooted ties between the two countries, as well as regional developments.

During the talks, attended by Crown Prince Hussein, the two leaders affirmed the depth of Jordanian-Emirati relations, as well as keenness to consolidate them to serve mutual interests, and strengthen joint Arab action.

His Majesty and the UAE president witnessed the signing of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between the two governments, which aims to enhance economic, trade, and investment relations, create jobs, improve supply chains, and accelerate the growth of priority sectors.

The two leaders stressed the importance of the agreement, which is the result of fruitful economic relations as it provides a broad base of opportunities for future development.

The King expressed hopes that the agreement would contribute to implementing the two countries' shared vision toward sustainable development and economic prosperity, and opening new horizons for economic integration, commending the UAE’s support for Jordan's development efforts.

For his part, Sheikh Mohamed welcomed the signing of the agreement, which is the UAE's first with an Arab country, citing the agreement as a natural development of the brotherly and strategic relations between the UAE and Jordan.

The two leaders also witnessed the signing of the Customs Cooperation and Mutual Administrative Assistance Agreement, signed by the two governments.

The talks also covered areas of bilateral cooperation in economy, investment, sustainable development, food security, and renewable energy, with both leaders expressing keenness to build strategic economic partnerships.

On regional developments, the two leaders stressed the need to step up Arab and international efforts to stop the war on Gaza and Lebanon, protect civilians, and de-escalate the situation in the region.

The two leaders reiterated their firm position in support of the unity, sovereignty, and security of Lebanon, and their support for the Lebanese people.

The talks also focused on ways to step up the humanitarian response to the catastrophe in Gaza.

His Majesty warned of the consequences of continued attacks by extremist Israeli settlers on Palestinians in the West Bank and violations of Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

The two leaders reaffirmed their full support for the Palestinians in achieving their legitimate rights, and working to find a political horizon to achieve just, comprehensive, and lasting peace, on the basis of the two-state solution.

Sheikh Mohamed praised Jordan's historic role in supporting the Palestinian people on various levels, voicing appreciation of the Kingdom's support for the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip.

Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Alaa Batayneh, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply Yarub Qudah, General Intelligence Department Director Maj. Gen. Ahmad Husni, Jordan’s Ambassador to the UAE Nassar Habashneh, and a number of officials attended the talks.

From the Emirati side, Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, deputy ruler of Abu Dhabi; Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan; Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Tahnoun Al Nahyan, adviser for special affairs at the Ministry of the Presidential Court; and a number of officials attended the talks.

The King and the Crown Prince bid farewell to Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at Marka Airport, as he and his accompanying delegation concluded their visit to Jordan on Sunday evening.

[mariacallous]

Do Arab leaders have Israel’s back? If one has scrolled through the social media commentary on the combined effort by Israeli, American, British, French, Jordanian, and possibly other Arab governments to thwart Iran’s missile and drone barrage on Israel, one might think so. A bevy of analysts, Israelis, and pro-Israel activists clearly want to believe it.

Alas, that claim is mostly hyperbole. Last weekend was many things, but the dawn of a “new Middle East,” marked by intensified Arab-Israeli cooperation at a renewed time of war, was not one of them. Fortunately, the truth is still reassuring enough.

Israel’s devastating military campaign in the Gaza Strip over the last six months has put significant pressure on its ties with Arab countries, especially Egypt and Jordan. Of the Arab states that have diplomatic relations with Israel, the Moroccan, Egyptian, and Emirati ambassadors remain in the country, though Abu Dhabi suspended its coordination of humanitarian aid with Israel after seven aid workers of the nonprofit World Central Kitchen were killed in an Israeli drone strike. Still, after all of the violence and diplomatic tension, it has become routine for journalists and analysts to ask whether the Abraham Accords, the diplomatic deal that normalized relations between Israel and several Gulf Arab states during the Trump administration, are now dead.

That’s one reason why the display last weekend of regional security coordination under the auspices of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) was so important. The other has to do with the United States itself. After more than a decade in which the American foreign-policy community sought to deemphasize, pivot away, and retrench from the Middle East, the Biden administration proved that Washington can be—separate from its confused approach to the war in Gaza—a source of security in the region.

But the conclusions should not be overstated. At the same time that Israel’s friends were high-fiving and the Israelis were publicly thanking the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Jordan, and regional powers for their help, Arab officials and analysts were working hard to temper all the talk about the new Middle East. Jordan’s King Abdullah II made clear that shooting down Iranian drones was a defense of their country’s airspace and that they would do the same if drones were launched in the other direction.

In a private conversation, one keen observer of the region and former Arab official relayed, “It comes down to how states perceive the legitimacy of military action. In the Red Sea, no one wanted to appear to be part of a maritime coalition that was seen to be defending Israel. Last night, countries shot down incoming projectiles because it can be portrayed as defending sovereign airspace and not wanting a regional war.”

Those are important arguments. Given the horrors of Gaza and the concomitant outrage of many Middle Easterners over the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents at the hands of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), there is not a single Arab leader willing to publicly align with Israel—much less secure it. Still, defending airspace and preventing an intensification of the ongoing regional conflict yields the same result: helping Israel.

Setting aside the cheerleading of recent days, the coordinated military operations that protected Israel from mass casualties and destruction highlight the durability of the Jordan-Israel and Egypt-Israel peace treaties as well as the 2020 normalization agreements. No doubt, relations between the Israeli and Jordanian governments have been under strain in recent years as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu focused attention on developing ties with the Gulf states and engaged in provocative policies in Jerusalem as well as the West Bank. This created political difficulties for Abdullah, threatening the delicate balance between the demands of Jordan’s majority Palestinian population, its active Islamist movement, and East Bank tribal leaders, alongside the strategic necessity of maintaining a profoundly unpopular relationship with Israel.

The king’s apparent determination to maintain ties to Israel—given their importance to Jordan-U.S. relations—included a security dialogue that remained important to Jordan’s leaders even as other aspects of the relationship with Israel weakened. This security cooperation intensified once Israel came under CENTCOM’s area of responsibility in September 2021. The Egyptians, for their part, do not seem to have played a discernible role in last weekend’s events, but they, too, have ensured that their security dialogue with Israel remains robust and mutually beneficial despite the many crises that have buffeted the bilateral relationship since 1979.

Critics will undoubtedly argue that these securitized relationships are nothing to cheer. The ties between Arab governments—whose legitimacy is compromised, in part because of their ties to the Israelis—and an Israeli state that has dispossessed and repressed Palestinians would not exist but for authoritarian leaders and the support they enjoy in Washington. But this does not negate the fact that the security dialogues that have been underway between these countries for years paid off on April 13.

The same basic argument holds for the Abraham Accords, under which security cooperation developed rapidly after years of informal and secret cooperation. There is no leader in the Gulf who trusts Netanyahu, and they recoil at what the IDF has wrought in Gaza, but the Emiratis, Bahrainis, and the Saudis (who are silent partners in the Abraham Accords) certainly dislike and fear Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps more. This underlines what everyone already knows about the accords and why supporters of the Palestinians are so angry about it: The Arab leaders who have normalized ties with Israel place more value on fending off the Iranian challenge than Palestinian statehood. Despite the absence of some Arab ambassadors in Israel throughout these months of shocking violence, none of the Arab states that have come to terms with Israel have completely broken ties. The Saudi government, for instance, publicly maintains that it remains committed to normalization, though officials in Riyadh say they will require serious progress toward a Palestinian state. Yet even after all the violence and bloodshed of innocents in Gaza, the very fact that the Saudis still want to move forward with the Israelis says a lot about where the Palestinian issue stands among Arab leaders’ priorities.

Finally, after more than two decades during which the American investment in the transformation of the Middle East returned little or nothing, last weekend’s coordinated effort to prevent a wider and more destructive regional war (and, yes, defend Israel) was the result of Washington’s leadership. The episode demonstrates that when American policymakers focus on preventing threats to regional stability and security—as opposed to leveraging the power at their disposal to remake societies—Washington can be successful. Sure, critics will argue that the United States has been destructive in enabling the IDF’s destruction of Gaza. That is a potent critique. Would these observers prefer an all-out war in the region? Some may, given their views on Israel, but U.S. policy dictates otherwise.

Last weekend, there was a lot of commentary on social media and elsewhere expressing amazement at a new Middle East in which countries of the region coordinated an effort to thwart Iran’s attack on Israel. There is something to be said for that. But what’s more amazing when one takes a step back is that war has not actually changed the region that much. Regional governments still hate and fear Iran, harbor no particular commitment to Palestinian justice, want good relations with Israel, and desire American leadership.
