I've been thinking about this quite abit...iam not so sure a huge chunk of the Israeli populace is prepared to die for the greater Israel project. Corroborating those tweets, the press is littered with stories of reservists refusing re-deployment and at some point, the mounting casualties will precipitate the disillusionment to say nothing of the impact this is having on the Israeli economy. Apparently, the army has been begging for a ceasefire because of exhaustion from Gaza....which means Israel's 'allies" will have to send boots on the ground.

You don't say? Iam not so sure these assurances of neutrality are going to protect the oil rigs. Made me laugh though...

Man sets himself on fire at pro-Palestine protest in US

The Reuters news agency published pictures of the man with his arm on fire at a pro-Palestine protest in Washington, DC, as well as images of bystanders using their Keffiyeh scarves to put out the flames.
The Washington Post reported that the man, who has not been named, claimed he was a journalist and guilty of spreading misinformation about the crisis in the Middle East.
The rally in the US capital, attended by about 1,000 people, was one of several in cities around the globe marking the one-year anniversary of the Hamas-led October 7 attacks and Israel’s war on Gaza.

Gaza children’s lives ‘shattered’ by Israel’s relentless war

Arwa Damon, of the International Network for Relief and Assistance, says every child in Gaza has been affected by the war. “We also need to take into consideration that a study done by Save the Children prior to October 7 showed 80 percent of Gaza’s children – already at that point – suffered from depression and anxiety,” she said, speaking to Al Jazeera from Baalbek, Lebanon. “This war has been so intense and relentless that every single pillar of existence that is meant to provide stability for a child has been shattered,” she said.

Nine children among at least 17 killed in Israeli attacks on Jabalia

Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israeli air attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp in the north killed at least 17 people, including nine children.
“There are 17 martyrs, including nine children, in Israeli air raids in Jabalia,” civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Basal said.
Israeli forces encircled Jabalia in response to indications Hamas was rebuilding there, the army said earlier.
Residents posted about the air attacks and mourned their relatives on social media. Imad Alarabid said in a Facebook post a strike on his home in Jabalia killed a dozen family members, including his parents.
Saeed Abu Elaish, a Health Ministry medic, said he was wounded and bleeding. “Pray for us,” he wrote on Facebook.

Another Gaza journalist killed in Israeli attack

Gaza journalist Hassan Hamad has been killed in an Israeli air strike on his home in northern Jabalia, bringing the total number of media workers killed since the start of the war to 175.
Hamad worked as a freelance TV reporter and his footage had aired on Al Jazeera and other networks.
Colleagues and the government’s media office in Gaza confirmed his death, saying the journalist’s home was deliberately targeted to silence him after he received threats.
Comment from Israel’s army wasn’t immediately available.

From X,

"Israel threatened Journalist Hassan Hamad to remain silent and when he didn’t comply they killed him! “Listen, If you continue spreading lies about Israel, we'll come for you next and turn your family into [...] This is your last warning".. Journalist Hassan Hamad received this message on WhatsApp, along with several calls from an Israeli officer ordering him to stop filming in Gaza.” Israel targeted his home in Jabalia camp in North Gaza and he was killed. The video shows what remains of him."

Iran’s supreme leader awards IRGC commander with top medal for Israel attack

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has bestowed the commander of the aerospace division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with a top honour for last week’s missile attack at Israel.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh received the “Fath” medal from the supreme leader in the presence of Iran’s top military commanders.
The medal is one of the highest military honours that can be given for military achievements. It was first established during the eight-year Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, and has since been awarded to a small number of leaders.
