August 30, 2024 - Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly told Defense Minister Gallant that he was prioritizing maintaining troops in the Philadelphi Corridor over saving the lives of the remaining hostages.

"It was the latest evidence of the divide between Netanyahu and the security establishment. Gallant and the security chiefs have repeatedly pushed Netanyahu for more compromise in the negotiations, particularly regarding the Philadelphi Corridor, fearing that the premier’s hardline positions are scuttling a deal."

Gallant confronts Netanyahu

"Gallant then told the cabinet they faced a choice: to remain in the corridor or to return the hostages. “You are deciding to stay in the Philadelphi Corridor. Is this logical to you? There are living (hostages) there!” Gallant exclaimed. Dermer replied, “The prime minister can do as he likes,” to which Gallant responded, “The prime minister can indeed make all the decisions, and he can also decide to kill all the hostages.”

Hostage families forum horrified by cabinet quotes

The Hostage and Missing Families Forum responded to the leaked quotes from the security cabinet meeting by demanding that Netanyahu publicly declare that he has given up on the lives of hostages in favor of continued IDF presence on the Philadelphi Corridor. “The quotes from the cabinet meeting should cause every Israeli citizen to lose sleep,” the forum said in a statement. “Every citizen should know that if they are to be kidnapped from their bed in their pajamas on a Saturday morning, their prime minister will do everything to keep his seat, even at the cost of leaving them to die in the Hamas tunnels in Gaza.”

We Haven't Known Joy Yet..."😔💔

My name is Shahd, a girl from Rafah, a city that has tasted war and pain since the day I was born. Near the Philadelphi Corridor, life was simple yet filled with love. I dreamed of finishing my university studies, finding a job that would make me proud, and building a happy family with the one I love.🥹

I married Badr, the love of my life. He’s a pharmacist who owned a small pharmacy where he spent hours helping others and easing their pain. Our wedding was modest—no grand celebrations, just love binding us together and hopes for a brighter future.💔💔

But war does not let dreams flourish. Just days after our wedding, an order came: "Evacuate immediately!" We left everything behind—our memories, our hard work, our home. Then came the airstrikes. Our house was destroyed, along with Badr’s pharmacy, where he worked tirelessly, and even my university, where I had spent years pursuing my education, was turned to rubble.😭🇵🇸🍉

We’ve moved from place to place, city to city, fleeing the death that seems to chase us. Now, we live in a tent in Khan Younis. A small tent that barely shelters us from the cold and rain. Badr tries to stay strong, but I see him every night staring into the void, as if asking himself, "Why did all of this happen?"💔

We’re living in unbearable conditions. Food is scarce, water barely sufficient, and my dream of motherhood is on hold because we don’t even have enough to sustain ourselves. We haven’t had the chance to celebrate our marriage or feel a single day of happiness.

Today, I’m reaching out to you, with a heart weighed down by pain, to ask for your help. We need everything: food, water, medicine, and clothing. We need a chance to rebuild, to dream again, to live a life worthy of our humanity.

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a huge difference in our lives. Every share of our story could reach someone with the ability to help. You are the only hope we have after God.😭🙏🏼🙏🏼💔

Please help us build a new life in the midst of this darkness.

In the nearly two decades since Hamas took control of Gaza, Egypt has permitted the terrorist organization to construct a vast network of tunnels under their shared border. These tunnels have been exploited for illicit activities, including the smuggling of vehicles, weapons, and rockets. However, since Israel regained control of the Philadelphia Corridor just over a month ago, a staggering 170 tunnels have been discovered and demolished. This revelation highlights the extent of Hamas' clandestine operations and underscores the necessity of Israeli oversight. Given the history of neglect and complicity by neighboring countries, Israel cannot rely on any entity other than the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to secure the corridor and prevent future tunnel construction.

WE WILL KEEP THE CORRIDOR 💯🇮🇱♥️

🚨 Netanyahu announces Israel will re-occupy the Philadelphi Corridor comprising the Gaza-Egypt border area, Gaza’s only access to the outside world.

Other updates:

• At least 100 killed and 286 injured by IOF attacks on homes in central Gaza in the last 24 hours.

• Khan Younis is under heavy aerial bombardment & shelling, with more invading forces deployed. A massive air strike was reported yesterday around the European Hospital there.

• Israeli forces have killed hundreds of sports players and figures, according to the Gaza-based Supreme Council for Sports. It stated Israel “also targeted, destroyed and bombed many stadiums and sports clubs and turned a number of them into detention, torture and execution centres, as happened in the Yarmouk Stadium in Gaza City.”

• At least 16 people were abducted by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in raids last night.

• Israel killed Sheikh Yousef Salameh, former Palestinian minister of religious affairs and preacher at Al-Aqsa Mosque

And here’s the try-not-to-laugh payoff, beginning a full 20 paragraphs into the story:

For months, Israel said it would agree to a cease-fire only if its soldiers could screen the returning Palestinians for weapons as they moved from southern to northern Gaza. Then, in its May proposal, Israel softened that demand. While its position paper still stated that the returnees should not be “carrying arms while returning,” it removed the explicit requirement that Israeli forces screen them for weapons. That made the policy seem more symbolic than enforceable, prompting Hamas to agree to it. Israel’s July letter revived the question of enforcement, stating that the screening of people returning to the north would need to be “implemented in an agreed upon manner.”

So Netanyahu’s “demand” was that returnees be checked for weapons by some mutually agreed-upon process, with Hamas’s full consent.

Frankly I am surprised Netanyahu is being that flexible about checking returnees. The only reason Hamas would oppose including an even symbolic method of ensuring that returnees cannot be armed is that members of Hamas will be “returning” to northern Gaza along with the residents. That’s it—that’s the only reason. Hamas doesn’t want arms it cannot control in the hands of Palestinians who do not answer to it. Bibi’s demand is that Hamas at least agree on paper to an actual ceasefire, knowing full well that in any deal there would be holes a Hamasnik can drive a jeep through.

Speaking of which. Another sticking point in the negotiations appears to be whether Israel will abdicate its stewardship of a tunnel system Hamasniks have been driving jeeps through. In May, the Times writes, Israel “had suggested” it would withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor. Yet now, Netanyahu wants to keep IDF troops in the vicinity of this piece of the Gaza-Egypt border. What gives?

Well, a lot can happen in three months. Since that May proposal, Israel has discovered—and made public its discovery, which is key—of two dozen smuggling tunnels running under that part of the border with Egypt. The IDF even released a photo of a military truck driving through one. These tunnels are for moving weapons, terrorists, and supplies from Egypt to Gaza. They are quite literally Hamas’s lifelines.

The discovery of these tunnels was not necessarily surprising, but they do represent a black eye for Egypt, which has now been revealed to have been keeping Hamas alive and enabling it to keep the region at war. Now that the public is aware of the Egypt-Hamas collusion along the border, to whom should Israel hand off control of that crossing? Egypt? Hamas? It sounds like a rhetorical question.

Escalating tensions between Cairo and Tel Aviv. Israeli occupation forces continue to violate international conventions after confirming last night that they captured the strategic Philadelphi Corridor, thus violating the Camp David Accords.

235 DAYS OF GENOCIDE IN GAZA: ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES HAMMER RAFAH OVERNIGHT, DISPLACE THOUSANDS MORE CIVILIANS, UNRWA: OVER A MILLION DISPLACED FROM RAFAH, NEW TENT MASSACRE KILLS 16, ALL HOSPITALS IN THE RAFAH AREA CLOSED, SECURITY COUNCIL TO MEET OVER ISRAELI ATTACKS ON RAFAH

On 235th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 5 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 46 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 110 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands, of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

Member-state Algeria called a meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) after the occurrence of the "Khiam massacre", when, over the weekend, Israeli warplanes fired several missiles which exploded into a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) camp for displaced families in Gaza's southernmost city of Rafah, resulting in a conflagration among resident's tents that took the lives of around 50 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, and wounded 250 others.

The UNSC will meet in a closed-door session at the request of Algeria to discuss the situation in Rafah, and the latest Israeli massacre in the Governate.

The massacre comes just days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague ordered an "immediate halt" to any and all Israeli operations in the Rafah Governate, and ordered the Israeli occupation to cease actions which could inflict on Palestinians "conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part."

The Israeli occupation, for its part, continues to ignore the ICJ orders, deploying yet another brigade to Rafah today, the Bislamach Brigade, belonging to the School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders during War Time, which joins the other Brigades of the 162nd Division operating in the Rafah area since earlier this month.

The additional brigade was deployed along the "Philadelphi Corridor" overnight, which will attack so-called "terrorist infrastructure" in the Rafah Governate.

According to the Israeli occupation army, troops belonging to the Bislamach Brigade located "tunnels, weapons and killed numerous [Resistance] operatives in the Rafah area."

In other news, Ireland has joined Norway and Spain in officially recognizing a Palestinian state today, implementing the decision by the three states issued last week.

The three countries hope their recognition of Palestinian statehood may excellerate a peaceful resolution to the war, and the eventual implementation of a two-state solution.

In a statement, the Irish government said "The Government recognises Palestine as a sovereign and independent state and agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah."

“An Ambassador of Ireland to the State of Palestine will be appointed along with a full Embassy of Ireland in Ramallah," the statement said.

"This decision of Ireland is about keeping hope alive. It is about believing that a two-state solution is the only way for Israel and Palestine to live side by side in peace and security,” the statement added, concluding with "I again call on Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel to listen to the world and stop the humanitarian catastrophe we are seeing in Gaza.”

In more news, the UNRWA said on Tuesday that approximately one million Palestinians have now been displaced from the Rafah over the past couple weeks as the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) intensified airstrikes and shelling on Gaza's southernmost Governate.

"This happened with no safe place to go amid the bombing, food and water shortages, and piles of waste," the UNRWA said in a statement.

The organization for Palestinian refugees emphasized that providing assistance or protections has become almost impossible in the Gaza Strip as Israeli attacks continue.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation committed a new tent massacre over Monday night, bombing civilian tents in the vicinity of the UNRWA barracks in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, northwest of Rafah, resulting in the deaths of another 16 civilians and wounding a number of others.

Initial reporting put the number of deaths at 7 in the strike, however, updates have since revised that number upwards, to 16 killed, and dozens of others wounded.

Bombing and shelling hammered the Rafah Governate overnight, hitting various homes and sites, resulting in several casualties, while thousands of civilians were forced to leave their homes and shelters to escape the occupation's American-made shells.

As a result of the intensifying bombing and shelling campaign in the Rafah Governate, all hospitals in Rafah are now out of service, with the sole exception being the Tal al-Sultan Maternity Hospital, which struggles to stay open under the continued blockade and bombing of the city.

Since the start of the Israeli assault on Rafah, 6 hospitals in the area have been forced to close under intense bombardment, including Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, the Abu Al-Walid Central Clinic, the Rafah Field Hospital, the Kuwait Specialized Hospital, the Indonesian Field Hospital, and the Tal al-Sultan Clinic.

At the same time, occupation bombing and shelling effected areas across the Gaza Strip, pummeling areas of Gaza City, the Bureij Camp, and the Jabalia Camp, along with several other neighborhoods.

Local medical sources said that a number of civilians were killed, including several children, while others were wounded, after the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) bombed a house belonging to the Aqel family in the Bureij Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

At least two more citizens were killed, and a number of others wounded, following an Israeli air raid on another house in the Bureij Camp, while IOF fighter jets bombed a residential home belonging to the Al-Ghussein family, in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City, killing two more Palestinians.

In another criminal attack, occupation forces bombed a tent for the displaced belonging to the Abu Jarad family at the UNRWA barracks gate in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, west of the city of Rafah, killing at least three civilians and wounding several others.

Another bombing in Rafah City killed a young man last night, while occupation artillery shelling and gunfire targeted various areas of the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood.

Yet another war crime occurred with the occupation's bombing of the upper floors of the Indonesian Hospital in the same neighborhood of Rafah.

Dozens of civilians were also displaced by the bombing of the Zionist army in the vicinity of local shelters, camps, schools and the Tal al-Sultan Clinic, all of which were struck by occupation shells.

IOF warplanes further bombed a residential apartment west of Rafah, killing a civilian and injuring another, while several other homes and apartments were also targeted in occupation shelling.

Violent bombing also targeted in the vicinity of the Zoroub roundabout, in the city of Rafah, coinciding with sounds of gunfire and tank shelling, while occupation aircraft buzzed overhead in between the sounds of exploding munitions.

Families were seen fleeing the city at sunrise, fearing the bombs and missiles flying overhead, migrating towards coastal areas of Khan Yunis, and moving other areas in southern and central Gaza, and towards the west of Deir al-Balah.

Zionist army tanks and armored vehicles were also seen advancing towards the Zoroub roundabout area, while occupation forces were also seen excavating inside the Zoroub cemetery in Rafah, while continuing to fire machine guns, along with tank and artillery shells into the city.

Occupation artillery shelling also targeted Haret Tabasi, Barika, Zaarub, Al-Zar Street, the Indonesian Hospital, and the Tal al-Sultan Clinic, west of the city of Rafah.

Meanwhile in the north, Israeli fighter jets bombed a gathering of civilians attempting to return to the Al-Faluga area in Jabalia, resulting in several injuries, some serious.

Zionist armored vehicles and tanks stationed along the "Netzarim Corridor" fired dozens of shells towards various neighborhoods of Gaza City, including the Tal al-Hawa, Sheikh Ajlin, Al-Zaytoun, Al-Sabra and Juhr al-Dik neighborhoods.

In another incident, IOF soldiers opened fire near Kamal Adwan Hospital, in the town of Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, killing at least 6 Palestinians and wounding a number of others, including a doctor with the hospital.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) also reported that three people were murdered and others wounded, following their targeting by the Israeli occupation army in the Al-Iskan Al-Abyad area, west of Rafah.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll in Gaza has risen to exceed 36'096 Palestinians killed, including over 15'000 children and more than 10'000 women, while another 81'136 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.
