Israel to sever 'all contact' with Gaza and return labourers
Israel will return Gazans working inside the country to the besieged Palestinian territory, the government said, almost four weeks after it began striking Hamas targets there in response to a deadly cross-border attack.

"Israel is severing all contact with Gaza. There will be no more Palestinian workers from Gaza," the Israeli security cabinet announced in a statement late Thursday.

"Those workers from Gaza who were in Israel on the day of the outbreak of the war will be returned to Gaza," it added, without specifying how many people would be sent back.

Before the Israel-Hamas conflict started, Israel had issued work permits to some 18,500 Gazans, according to COGAT, the Israeli defence body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs.

That little Gem has gone way over my head. Could this French General be watching the IDF from a carrier moored off the port of Gaza.

"According to fighters from Popular Resistance Committees's Saladin brigades, the Yasin was able to take down a Merkava Mk. 3 on an undisclosed date by firing it at a "weak point".[2] However, it is more effective in urban warfare, able to destroy brick walls and penetrate a 21 cm steel plate from 150 meters,[2] although the ITIC suggests 200 mm (20 cm).[16]"

Eeeeeer, I think you are wanted on the Hamas front line, ol' chap..

 

So get to it, you really ARE wasting your precious time here..........

Why don't the people of Gaza turn on Hamas and tell them they want them to remove their weapons stored in Civvie areas? If needed pass Intell to the IDF where there located.

Problem is, who are Hamas and who are the people? The Hamas are not always dressed in fighting gear, often wearing civilian clothing as witnessed when invaded Israel on the 7th Oct. There is around 40,000 of the dirty terrorists and I have no doubt they are intimidating and controlling a lot of the local population behind the scenes. 

The ones on the receiving end will know where the terrorists are hiding and where their weapons are stored.

When Israel 'handed back' Gaza, it was the PLO (Arafat) that ran the place.  Hamas took over in 2006 and after Arafat died, they have enforced a strict hold over the people in Gaza. Since then they have been indictrinating everyone to hate Israel and Jews, and to become a part of their 'army'.   It is like the Nazis in Germany - the German people had no chance to remove them once they locked down their power and control.  Anyone speaking out against Hamas has been klilled.  Under Cover Of Conflict, Hamas Killed Palestinians, Amnesty Alleges : Parallels : NPR

 

Golda Meir’s observation remains as true today as when she said it more than half a century ago: “Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”

   Are you an experienced military strategist , who has studied the art of war and who have had a career in the military and do you have access to the info that Israeli Generals have in regards to the Palestinians  capabilities and Israel's capabilities .

   Or are you one of these guys that knows everything about everything and is always telling others what they should be doing (about every subject) ?

   Are they actually great interviews , or do you just like them because they are criticising Israel and praising Palestians .

   Do you like the interviews just because you agree with what they say ?

The relevance is why would anybody watch someone who lies and has put British soldiers lives at risk by approving the publication of faked photos showing them torturing Iraqi so called prisoners, unless the watcher was hearing things that they wanted to hear. There are many journalists with the morals of the Black Rat that I would avoid like the plague and Piers is one of them! HTH

The same reason you don't see all these 'free Palatine' protests in the west condemning Hamas, they support these Nazi butchers and can't stop this genocidal call for from the river to the sea.

He hasn’t said that, and your comment is unfair; he has indicated that some negotiations might be happening that are not in the public domain, albeit through third parties like Qatar; you would do well to remember that they are trying to save the lives and secure the release of over 200 hostages. I hope you don’t need the alternative explained.

Now answering your rubbish.  If Israel stops to allow hostage negotaitions, Hamas will re-arm and in the future do this again.

Likewise, Hezbolla PIJ PLFP etc etc etc will all take heart and do similar things.

The destruction of Hamas and much of Gaza will stop other terrorists follwing in Hamas' footprints.

Apparently Israel's leaders. There's a quite a lot of traffic between Tel Aviv and Doha these days.

And just to remind - all previous rounds of fighting ended with indirect negotiations, understandings and so on.

 

I'm not saying that Hamas can be trusted, or that this is a good option.

Certainly not palatable.

If you liked Mariupol and Bachmut, you gonna love Gaza.

It's not a true quote, It's from a sarcastic drawing on Facebook.

 

However, that's the basic idea. Several quite serious commenters (incl. Generals) expect it to be comparable to the siege of Mariupol

Israeli leaders seem to have a different point of view. Maybe take it up with them and explain what's what.

 

There are negotiations right now, or attempts at such, conducted via Qatar.

As you can notice, this does not entail Israel stopping its offensive.

 

There are several ideas floated about, one of them (mentioned earlier) is hostage release in return for free passage for Hamas leadership and men. Again, not my idea or any other poster's.

 

Given the hostage situation, things are complicated.

While I think most of us would prefer a heroic happy ending, sometimes it doesn't happen this way.
