Alongside the hostilities in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, a concentration of NATO forces appears to be happening nearby.
On May 16th, a French carrier group was concentrated south of Cyprus.
On May 17th, four US Air Force B-52H strategic bombers arrived in Spain, and this is in addition to the six already based in Qatar.
On May 18th, three missile destroyers from the US Navy aircraft carrier group operating in the Arabian Sea are making a transition with the explicit intention to get, if not to the Mediterranean, then at least to the northern part of the Red Sea, closer to Israel.
This is likely an attempt for Israel’s allies to guarantee that it can continue carrying out its operation, while being undeterred by Iran, or other Palestinian allies.
Essentially, it is likely that Israel will continue its operation until at least May 19th, when there could be negotiations, according to its Armed Forces General Staff.
Tel Aviv possibly expects to reach the point that it has dealt such a crushing blow that Hamas and other Palestinian groups stop their actions and are simply ready to negotiate and accept almost any terms they are presented.
Meanwhile, a delegation of Egyptian intelligence official may visit Israel on May 18th, according to the Saudi-owned broadcaster Al Arabiya, amid international efforts to halt the ongoing fighting between the Israeli military and Hamas.
EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell says he spoke with his American counterpart Antony Blinken about ending the fighting in Gaza between Israel and the Strip’s Hamas rulers.
They also discussed how to “reduce tensions” between Israel and the Palestinians, Borrell writes on Twitter.
He adds: “Looking beyond, we also need longer term initiatives to break the dynamics of conflict and revive the prospect of a peaceful future for all.”
Exchanged with @SecBlinken on how EU and US can jointly contribute to end violence in Israel and Palestine and reduce tensions.
Looking beyond, we also need longer term initiatives to break the dynamics of conflict and revive the prospect of a peaceful future for all.

Still, IDF Spokesman Zilberman said all Hamas leaders are in Israel’s “sights” when asked about the prospect the military will take out the Gaza-ruling terror group’s top chiefs.
“We are trying to strike them and when the operational conditions come to fruition I hope that we’ll succeed,” he told the Kan public radio.
In a separate interview with Army Radio, Zilberman says IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kohavi has delivered his instructions and goals for the fighting over the next 24 hours.
“The IDF isn’t talking about a ceasefire,” he said.
As such, Israel continues bombing, Palestinian groups keep responding. For a period of 5 hours, Hamas and others didn’t fire a single project on May 18th, while Israel kept targeting various military targets.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
So, Hamas gets a chance to not only embarrass the zionist coloniser state, but the de facto ‘superpower’ as well.
Seen this: ‘On 17 May 2021 at around 1 a.m, the IDF launched heavy strikes against the Gaza Strip. Within 15 minutes, it succeeded in destroying Hamas’s main missile launch ramps. The latter stopped firing on Israel. Over the past two decades, Iran has developed a system of long underground missile ramps that are extremely difficult to reach. This type of construction has become widespread in the Middle East, especially in Lebanon and Gaza. It is not known so far whether the IDF used a new weapon or a new technique to reach their objective. However, what is certain is that such ramps are no longer protected. This military advance calls into question the balance of power across the region.’ https://www.voltairenet.org/article213101.html
Hamas was founded by the (masonic) Muslim Brotherhood – who was supported by the Zionist British secret service – therefore it is to be expected that Hamas ist completly under Israels control, and that they will lose this war totally and final, politically and in military, because it’s there job to lose and do as much damage to the Palis as possible…
Nice to see someone with open eyes! Zion movement started in Basel, Swizerland and Hamas is controled by Swiss. In reality their goal is to kill as many Plestinians and real Jews (not Khazar, etc) as possible.
One needs to know that likes of Rotschild, Trumps dother, they are not real jews. They are untoucheble, but real Jews, they get secrafised of pleasure of Saton (old Egiptian god), also Serbs, Siryans, Sibirians, etc.
If Serbia or Syria would come to power world history as we know would change, couse it is all BIG LIE.
Hamas was created by Israel from Al-Islamiya (Muslim brotherhood basically). They needed someone against the PLO so they used exactly the same methods as CIA with Mujahedeen (and subsequently Al Qaeda and ISIS). Israelis don’t want to occupy Gaza, they don’t need any more Palestinians. They just want to kill and expel as many as possible, to force them to leave Gaza and go to Europe. That’s why they created Hamas in the first place – to sabotage peace deal forever and give them periodical pretext to sIaughter Palestinian civilians. This little staged war is also a perfect opportunity to kill those Hamas commanders not working for Israel. Test new weapons, try new tactics, and of course more votes for Netanyahu&Gantz. After the war Hamas will steal most of the money from international donations for rebuild of Gaza, so everyone profits. Except innocent people who died.
p.s. Israel is trying to solve the problem with long underground missile ramps for quite some time, if they succeeded then it’s a big problem for Hezbollah; this is just a training for the real war (vs Hezbollah/Iran).
Here’s my perspective on the issue:
1. The missiles are still flying, never mind the “cool story” about blowing up Hamas tunnels.
2. I don’t think the IDF knows the difference between blowing up sewers, transport tunnels and Hamas military tunnels.
I suspect the IDF just blew a cool few billion in bunker buster missiles on a whole lot of civilian sewer infrastructure!!
3. Hamas is not one entity but a conglomerate of people born in the ruins of Gaza and united by the shared experience of seeing their brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers blown to bits by the IDF.
No cool sounding ‘masonic’ fairy tale conspiracy theory can alter that reality.
That’s not the way these orders operate, because their lies cannot stand the corrosive truth of reality on the ground in Gaza:
Nobody who just saw his mother blown to bits by an IDF missile is secretly smiling because he is a ‘masonic infiltrator’.
So get real, guys.
The US preparing to send USS Liberty to aid Israel.
They can sink our ships and shoot our sailors as they swim There’s nothing we can do because we know that it was them
Southfron using the anglozionist lingo of calling Hamas a terror organization … when the true terrorists are the IDF air force.
Yes, i noticed that as well. That part of the article was more context framing, id bet is was just copy pasted from.zionist sources.
all i can do is boycott anything Israel.
all i can do is boycott anything what Hamas are. A filthy disgusting disease of jihad a scum of the earth, even almost all Muslims countries know who you are. A filthy terrorist organisation wich only Turkey want to help but are scared as chicken to do anything than to talk b.s. Al day.
Kill every Jihadi on planet earth. Free the innocents from the jihadist control. Destroy the axis of evil. Christianity will rule over this earth once again.
“Christianity will rule over this earth once again.” pfffff “this earth” hmmm, anyone wants to tell him one or two things or we laugh it off? From his name to what he says…he is just a child.
Christianity? Your anglo-protestant sects are slaves of Jews, even more fanatical Zionists than most Jews. You are ANTI-Christian. Just as your Zionist masters – they serve Devil, and you serve them while they are destroying Christianity in Europe. They are the true evil and you are their slave, you indoctrinated absolute idiot.
When even the Palestinians pretebd to believe in the fantasy of the jew maggots, I mean to believe in something you know not to be true surly must be a death sentence in more ways than one. Anyhow I’m Jesus Christ not the homosexual Sid Loder and his disciples.
this only persists due to amerikans
did SF recently ban amerikans? I notice verification required—not a robot while Riesman described amerikans “over-conformist semi-automatons” , Slater wrote, “amerikans poorly understand that individulism produces uniformity”. Gorer was puzzled whether amerikans were people are machines—“only in amerika do people act like machines are treated like machines and only in amerika are machine metaphors used to describe human behavior….” as Lakoff observes amerikans don’t have lovers—in USA love is business—“they have junior “partners”, silent “partners” Koestler compared aerikans to 5th century Romans: “a similarly contactless society populated by automatons…a similarly soulless, politically corrupt, everybody for-themselves-society” “individuality has entirely disappeared in USA”. Horkheimer/Adorno—they described all amerikan conversations: “shallow, bombastic, fatuous” amerikan robots are trained to lie, so probably they are allowed here
They will bomb Gaza for a few weeks, and then give up, and say “mission accomplished”. The IDF can’t do a ground invasion of Gaza, or the IDF casualties will be way too high. The same way it was in South Lebanon, when the IDF was forced to withdraw. Gaza will be Israel’s “Vietnam” if they try to do a ground invasion.
USA is the Jews.
You think Americans would destroy their country this way?
What better for the US Tyranny to bomb more schools and wedding parties with?!
