OH OH US officials expect Israel’s counterattack on Iran will come before US Election Day From CNN's MJ Lee and Kevin Liptak American officials expect Israel will retaliate against this month’s Iranian attack before November 5, sources tell CNN — a timeline that would thrust the growing volatility in the Middle East squarely into public view within days of the US presidential election. The timeline and parameters of Israel’s retaliation against Iran have been subject to intense debate inside Israel’s government and are not directly related to the timing of the US election, the sources said. Still, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — described by senior US administration officials as deeply attuned to American politics — appears highly sensitive to any potential political ramifications of Israel’s actions in the US, they said. edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-lebanon-gaza-hamas-10-16-24-intl-hnk/index.html |

Get this we giving them majoirty of the weapons Here's where Israel gets its weapons From CNN's Antoinette Radford The United States has warned Israel it may stop supplying the country with weapons unless the humanitarian situation in Gaza improves. This is not the first time Israel’s major ally has threatened to turn off supplies. In May, US President Joe Biden said he would halt some shipments of weapons to Israel if a major invasion of the southern city of Rafah went ahead. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressed on with the campaign — and the flow of US weapons continued. edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-lebanon-gaza-hamas-10-16-24-intl-hnk/index.html |

UK is not having it AT ALL UK considering sanctions against far-right Israeli ministers, prime minister says The United Kingdom is considering placing sanctions on two far-right Israeli ministers, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Wednesday. The government is “looking at” sanctions against Israel’s Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Starmer told the House of Commons. Starmer was responding to a question from Liberal Democrats leader Ed Davey, who pointed to a comment from Smotrich that “starving two million people in Gaza might be justified and moral,” and another from Ben-Gvir, who Davey said “called settlers who killed a 19-year-old on the West Bank ‘heroes.’” “Will the prime minister now sanction the ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich?” Davey asked. Starmer responded: “We are looking at that, because they are obviously abhorrent comments, as (Davey) rightly says, along with other really concerning activity in the West Bank but also across the region. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire.” The prime minister said the UK and France have also called an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting to discuss the humanitarian situation in Gaza. edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-lebanon-gaza-hamas-10-16-24-intl-hnk/index.html |

Well I wouldn't be suprised Is Israel using 'surrender or starve' strategy in Gaza? The Israeli military's latest invasion of Jabaliya in northern Gaza could not be more catastrophic for residents, who have already endured the bombardments and hardship of the Israel-Hamas war, now in its second year. "It's dangerous here. Nobody can move. It's risky and unsafe. They asked us to leave, but there was no time. All of a sudden, the area was surrounded and under fire," said Mohammed, who didn't want to give his last name, by phone. Almost two weeks ago, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new ground offensive in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza and ordered people to leave the area — once again. The IDF said intelligence showed efforts by Hamas, the militant group that runs the enclave, to reestablish itself and regroup in the area.
