Israel continues to expand its major offensive in Gaza City as the United States mounts more pressure on Hamas to surrender the Palestinian enclave which is experiencing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched the offensive in Gaza on September 15. Three divisions, the 36th, 162nd and 98th, are currently operating there. While it is unclear how much of the city has been captured by Israeli troops, the offensive has so far displaced more than a half a million Palestinians who had been taking shelter in the city.
The last few days were especially deadly. On September 28, at least 79 people were killed by IDF fire in Gaza City and other parts of the Strip, bringing the total Palestinian death toll from the Israeli war to over 66,000. The very next day, 50 more people were reportedly killed. An additional 58 were killed on September 30.
Also on September 30, the enclave’s Health Ministry revealed that the death toll from malnutrition caused by Israel’s starvation policy in Gaza has risen to 453 people. 150 children were among Palestinians who died of malnutrition and famine in the territory, with food and other essential supplies blocked by a longstanding Israeli blockade.
Despite facing immense pressure from the IDF, Hamas continues to fight back. On September 30, fighters of the group carried out two raids against Israeli positions in Gaza City. In one of the raids, five Israeli troops were seriously wounded.
Amid the heavy fighting and starvation in the Strip, U.S. President Donlad Trump announced on September 29 a plan to end the war, which requires Hamas to release all hostages, disarm, and hand over control of the enclave to an international security force overseen by a body headed by non-other than former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Although the plan promises a full Israeli withdrawal from the enclave, it offers no timeline to when this could happen.
The plan was welcomed by Arab leaders, but Hamas is yet to respond. On September 30, Trump said that he would give the group “three or four days” to agree to his plan, “or pay in hell.” He noted that there was “not much” room for negotiating.
Hamas is reported to be facing unprecedented pressure from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey to accept Trump’s plan. The group recently said that it would never give up its arms, thus it will likely reject the plan. This would, however, deprive it from any Arab support. Hamas could still fight on its own, but Israel will likely get more brutal with a greenlight from the U.S.

the mortician on youtube are stepping up on charlie kirk’s murder. but the christians in both russia and “us” have hard to step up against the ss death squad in the unholy land. when all get around, their god get killed by someone there 😂 can it be because of this, they are so stupid ? the undead have no soul, they have killed god.
how much mure brutal can the idf get?
a question i dare not ask. out of fear of what they might also do next.
since when were qatar, egypt and turkey ever friends of hamas, or hezbollah, or iran? like jordan, they sell out everyone else to protect their power, control, and wealth. trump/netanyahu intend at best to turn the palestinians into a coolie workforce paid sweatshop wages to labour for local & western pimps, spivs and oligarchs, in the latest colonial settler-state to appear in the region. little food, less housing. anyway, the terms are designed to be unacceptable to hamas..
those stupid enough to be aboard the vessels in the somutt flotilla won’t even be able to see gaza from the horizon. they’re be going to jail instead. ehehehe
the demonic joo filth are going to hell. all their bought and blackmailed goy whores and their amerikunt golem won’t be able to protect them. the whole world has had a bellyful of them 109 times already. roll on no.110. even jesus couldn’t please these creatures when he walked the earth so what chance has anybody else got. if anyone thinks they will honour any commitment to leave gaza, i’ve got a bridge to sell them.
in my hillbilly americunt trailer park we all obese swallow jizz donuts
hamas are true heroes, blowing the joo kiddie killers sky high for 2 years. the jooz have been on the point of “wiping them out” for 2 years. they couldn’t care less about the arab quisling whores who haven’t lifted a finger to help them. people like yahya sinwar are a true inspiration, fighting and dying on the front line with his men at the age of 60, taking out some kiddie killers with his last grenade with his dying breath. f the jooz and their arab quislings.
i don’t see how palestinians can organize any resistance while running from death. perhaps a few attempt gorilla war as they might.
do not trust any jewish people. all jews are liars and killers.
fight with what ? they have no army, no government, no food. little clothing, no homes and only the will to live. israel has placed isis inside gaza. nothing has entered gaza for two years that israel does not want. if weapons enter, it is by zionist orders for zionist goals. i believe nothing except the well documented suffering of innocent palestinian families.
