Well I feel getting bog down on first thread so I posting new thread on this I try lock down my former thread here more updates from various news wires start Today Tuesday November 21, 2023 Look like Xi of China want peace conference China's Xi calls for 'international peace conference' Chinese President Xi Jinping told other BRICS leaders on Tuesday that an "international peace conference" should be convened to try to find a solution to "the question of Palestine." "There can be no sustainable peace and security in the Middle East without a just solution to the question of Palestine," Xi said, speaking through an interpreter. "China calls for an early convening of an international peace conference that is more authoritative to build international consensus for peace." Xi said that such a conference would "work toward an early solution to the question of Palestine that is comprehensive, just and sustainable." He said that China had been pushing for peace talks and a cease-fire since the conflict's outbreak following Hamas' October 7 terror attack against Israel. Xi also noted that China had been providing humanitarian aid to try to ease the plight of civilians, and said that it would continue to do so. EU says probe found no evidence of Palestinian aid reaching Hamas The European Commission has said a review of its development aid to Palestinians had found no evidence of funds going to Hamas, and said its frozen aid program would therefore continue without delay. "The review found no indications of EU money having directly or indirectly benefitted the terrorist organization Hamas," the Commission's Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said. The EU froze its aid to Palestinians soon after the October 7 attack, with Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the time saying it was necessary to check common claims that such donations often ended up in Hamas' hands. "The review has confirmed that the safeguards in place are efffective," von der Leyen said on Tuesday. "Work is now ongoing on the design of our future support to the Palestinians in view of the changing and still evolving situation." The European Commission has said a review of its development aid to Palestinians had found no evidence of funds going to Hamas, and said its frozen aid program would therefore continue without delay. "The review found no indications of EU money having directly or indirectly benefitted the terrorist organization Hamas," the Commission's Executive Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis said.

Security cabinet meeting now underway, prime minister's office says From Tamar Michaelis in Tel Aviv Israel’s war cabinet meeting to consider approval of a potential hostage deal has ended, and the security cabinet meeting has begun, the prime minister’s office told CNN. The full cabinet meeting will begin as soon as the security cabinet meeting ends. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that progress is being made on the potential release of hostages being held in Gaza. "We are making progress.

Good possiblty going be Women and children first Hostages expected to be released in potential deal will be mostly children, source says The hostages who are expected to be released if a deal is reached between Israel and Hamas will be mostly children, a source told CNN. "I will say, I just heard from a source: It's almost entirely going to be children and as I understand it," CNN's Becky Anderson said while reporting from Doha, Qatar. "do expect to see significant number of kids being released from captivity."

Might be good incesntive they the IDF would allow more Aid into Gaza There's hope possible Gaza hostage deal will increase aid into the Strip, source says From CNN’s Jennifer Hansler A source familiar with the negotiations said there is hope that with a potential hostage deal, they will be able to get significantly more aid into the Gaza Strip, working toward a goal of 400 trucks a day. Israel is are cognizant that more aid must be able to get into the strip, the source said. Before the October 7 Hamas terror attack on Israel, about 455 aid trucks entered Gaza every day, according to the United Nations. However, there are still logistical issues that must be worked out, the US State Department said. This has been a challenge given the multiple actors responsible for different parts of allowing aid in Gaza. “There are just some really very difficult logistical problems that we have to work through and unlock to get aid screened and get it in through Rafah quickly,” State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said Monday. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-21-23 |

I am not suprise the ANC Govt in South Africa is not keen on Israelis South Africa lawmakers vote to suspend Israel ties, close embassy South Africa’s Parliament has voted in favour of a motion calling for the closure of Israel’s embassy in Pretoria and the suspension of diplomatic ties as tensions soar between the two countries over the Israeli assault on Gaza. The action is largely symbolic because it will be up to President Cyril Ramaphosa‘s government whether to implement it. The motion calling for the closure of the embassy and suspension of all diplomatic relations until a ceasefire is reached passed on Tuesday with 248 votes in favour and 91 votes against. The action was introduced by the left-wing opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters, backed by the ruling African National Congress and opposed by members of the centrist, white-majority, largely pro-Israel Democratic Alliance. www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/21/south-african-parliament-votes-for-motion-calling-to-close-israeli-embassy |

OHHH I don't know how Al Jazeeza score this story I think happen on hostage deal Potential deal ‘fully expected’ to be approved in Israel: AJ correspondent Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom, reporting from occupied East Jerusalem, says it is “fully expected that this deal will be approved”. The approval of the looming deal between Hamas and Israel over a potential release of people being held comes despite having some opposition. Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have both opposed the deal. “They have said that what the Israeli military has been doing in Gaza has been effective, that that’s how this deal has been reached – but they opposed any kind of Palestinian prisoner release,” Jamjoom said.

This off Al Jazeeza blog look like Houti terrorist may be on hit list here LOL! US may redesignate Houthis as ‘terrorist’ organisation after ship hijacking White House National Security Council spokesman Kirby says the Biden administration is considering the redesignation, citing “recent targeting of civilians by the Houthis” and “piracy of a ship in international waters”. The Biden administration formally delisted the group as a “foreign terrorist organization” and “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” in 2021, undoing a last-minute move by former US President Donald Trump. The UN and aid groups had criticised the designations, saying the restrictions they created complicated aid delivery in the war-torn country. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/11/21/israel-hamas-war-live-medics-patients-remain-trapped-in-gaza-hospitals |

They haven't release hostage just yet it is in pipeline Hopes Israel-Hamas hostage deal will end Gaza conflict The warring parties agreed to a four-day truce and partial hostage release on Wednesday. Israel green-lit a deal on Wednesday to release some hostages held by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a four-day truce in Gaza. The agreement offers respite from weeks of savage war, though both parties have vowed to resume fighting as soon it expires. Turkey's foreign ministry said it hopes the Israel-Hamas deal will "contribute to completely ending the conflict as quickly as possible and initiating a process towards a just and lasting peace.” A pause in the fighting between Israel and Hamas Hamas welcomed the “humanitarian truce”, saying “provisions of this agreement were formulated in accordance with the vision of the resistance.” After statements from the Israeli government and Hamas, Qatar - which has been a central mediator in talks - confirmed a deal on a "humanitarian pause" in the Gaza Strip has been struck. “The start of this pause will be announced in the next 24 hours and will last four days, with the possibility of extension,” the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared on X. It welcomed the “success” of its joint mediation with Egypt and the United States. Qatar, along with Cario and Washington, has strived for weeks to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza in exchange for freeing Palestinian prisoners and cessation of the violence. The temporary ceasefire does not mean the end of the war, warned Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Tuesday evening. He said he wanted a “full force” resumption of military operations after the truce in order to “undo” Hamas and "create the necessary conditions to bring home other hostages." “The Israeli government, Israeli army and security forces will continue the war to return all hostages, eliminate Hamas and ensure that there is no further threat to the State of Israel from Gaza,” the government also confirmed after its vote. “We confirm that our hands will remain on the trigger and that ou www.euronews.com/2023/11/22/israel-and-hamas-agree-to-four-day-ceasefire-and-hostage-release |

This is US opinion on it How many hostages will be released? The US expects "more than 50" hostages will be released by Hamas, a senior White House official said, detailing that three Americans were among those to be freed. US President Joe Biden said he was “extraordinarily satisfied”. Russia also welcomed the deal. “This is exactly what Russia called for from the start of the escalation of the conflict,” underlined its foreign affairs spokesperson Maria Zakharova. A senior Hamas official told AFP he expected "a first exchange of 10 hostages for 30 prisoners to be carried out on Thursday" and that the "truce could be extended". If the 50 hostages were freed, the Israeli government suggested the release of ten more would lead to an additional day of pause. International organisations and many foreign capitals are increasing their calls for a ceasefire amid a catastrophic humanitarian situation in the small besieged enclave. Israeli strikes have destroyed entire neighbourhoods, devastated the health system and displaced vast swaths of the population, around half of whom are children. More than 11,000 Palestinians have been killed during the Israeli offensive, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. It does not differentiate between civilians and militants, though some two-thirds of the dead have been identified as women and minors. At least 1,200 people were killed when several thousand Hamas militants bu www.euronews.com/2023/11/22/israel-and-hamas-agree-to-four-day-ceasefire-and-hostage-release#:~:text=How%20many%20hostages,Hamas%20militants%20burst |

This is soo cooolll Israeli game-changer 'Iron Beam' laser defense system expected to be operational in 2024 Israel's cutting-edge Iron Beam defense system is expected to become operational ahead of schedule and likely sometime in 2024. Israeli defense companies Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) view the ongoing war in Gaza as a valuable test ground for the advanced laser-based aerial defense system. Once operational, the Iron Beam is expected to become a game-changer as it costs only a fraction to operate compared to Israel’s current Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow aerial defense system.

WOW Swiss are not amused with Hamas that pretty bad folks if you get on bad side of Swiss here Switzerland looks to ban Hamas The Swiss government announced that it will introduce a draft legislation by the end of February to ban any activities linked to Hamas in the country. "The act will provide the federal authorities with the necessary tools to counter any Hamas activities or support for the organization in Switzerland," the government said in a statement. It also called for respect for international humanitarian law, particularly the protection of civilians during the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. "In view of the dramatic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, the Federal Council stresses the need to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access. Humanitarian pauses are necessary for this purpose." Israel, the United States, Germany and several other nations designate Hamas as a terror organization. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-break-in-fighting-expected-thursday/live-67515818 |

I know this dude he been making the round on CNN international and BBC world news He really talking smack about Bibi, Hamas Biden other world leaders CLASSIC Brother of hostage hopes truce will lead to more releases A brother of one of the hostages held by Hamas militants in Gaza welcomed the deal between Israel and Hamas to secure the release of some hostages. "We are feeling thrilled, we were waiting for this deal, we are very firm that we support this deal for the last few weeks since it came into critical stages before approval," Gili Roman told DW. His sister, Yarden Roman, is one of about 240 people taken hostage by Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups during their terror attacks on southern Israel on October 7. Roman said he does not know if his sister will be among the 50 hostages that Hamas agreed to release in exchange for a four-day pause in fighting in Gaza and the release of 150 Palestinians imprisoned by Israel. "I am excited, I want to see them back already," he said. Whatever happens, he hoped the Red Cross would be given access to the remaining hostages in Gaza, "I believe that is a step forward." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-break-in-fighting-expected-thursday/live-67515818 |

They say they say they release the hostages at 3am est 12am pst in our time zone probably early morning hours for them Israel-Hamas war: Break in fighting expected Thursday Israeli military says its videos show more tunnels at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza The Israel Defense Forces posted a video to X, formerly Twitter, to show what they said was evidence of a tunnel complex under al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza. The video could not be independently verified and shows the entrance to a tunnel which led to a room with an air conditioning unit and nearby bathrooms. The IDF released a second video from what it said was inside the tunnel. The Israeli military took control of the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza after it alleged that Hamas militants were using the hospital as a command and control center. It has previously released videos of weapons allegedly siezed inside the hospital and a tunnel running through the complex. Gaza’s hospitals have played a central role in the dueling narratives surrounding the war. Hospitals have a special status under the international laws of war. But they can lose that status if they are used for military purposes. Hamas, deemed a terrorist organization by the EU, US and others, and the UK discuss 'release of all hostages' with Arab and Muslim foreign ministers British Foreign Minister David Cameron discussed with leaders of Arab and Muslim majority countries a political solution geared toward the release of all hostages. The diplomats "focused on how to secure the release of all hostages, increase the amount of aid into Gaza, and reach a long-term political solution to the crisis," the UK government said in a press statement. "We discussed how to use this step forward to think about the future and how we can build a peaceful future which provides security for Israel but also peace and stability for the Palestinian people," Cameron said after the meeting in London. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-break-in-fighting-expected-thursday/live-67515818 |

You better get it done NY MInute IDF chief Return of hostages is a "complicated process yet to be finalized," Israeli military spokesperson says Coordinating the return of hostages from Gaza is not an easy task, Israel’s military spokesperson said at a briefing Wednesday evening. “This is a complicated process, which is yet to be finalized, and could take time and last over a few stages,” Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari said. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, Israel’s cabinet approved a deal for the release of hostages seized by Hamas in exchange for a four-day pause in fighting in Gaza, which is slated to begin Thursday morning. Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails will also be released as part of the deal. Hagari said Israel’s military is cooperating with all the relevant bodies to administer “an orderly process” to receive hostages from Hamas. The coming days will be “filled with moment of relief and moments of pain,” he said, warning that they could also include “attempts to carry out psychological terror, aimed against us by the terror organizations.” edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-22-23/index.html |

Are you kidding me Gaza truce and hostage release postponed 'last minute' Israel’s national security adviser said late Wednesday that ceasefire talks with Hamas were still ongoing, and the hostage release will not take place before Friday. There will be no truce between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas or hostage release at least before Friday, Israeli authorities have said. A Palestinian official told the AFP news agency on Thursday that a planned ceasefire in the Gaza Strip had been postponed due to "last minute" discussions over the "names of the Israeli hostages and the terms of their handover." “Qatar, in coordination with the Egyptians and the Americans, should announce in the coming hours today” when the truce will begin, he said. www.euronews.com/2023/11/23/no-release-of-hostages-before-friday-and-no-pause-in-fighting-according-to-israeli-officia |

He said the first batch of hostages to be released includes 13 women and children. They will be handed over to the Red Cross. There was, however, no indication if the Red Cross would be able to visit the remaining hostages, a key demand from the Israelis.

AH BIBI go both way blame Hamas mostly Netanyahu criticizes UN response to humanitarian crisis in Gaza Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the United Nations of being slow to respond to the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He said relief workers had not entered a designated "safe zone" for Palestinian refugees in southern Gaza. "I have yet to see the effort that I would like to see on the part of the UN and international agencies to build their shelters," Netanyahu told visiting Spanish and Belgian prime ministers. "Winter is coming and there's no reason not to build tens of thousands of tents in the safe zone," Netanyahu told the two leaders. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and his Belgian counterpart, Alexander de Croo, were visiting Israel on an official trip to represent the current and upcoming rotating presidencies of the Council of the European Union.

This is sad story Israel at war: Gazan cancer patients can't return home A few plastic chairs arranged in a circle serve as a meeting point for a group of Palestinian cancer patients at the Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem. They left Gaza for medical treatment a few days before October 7, when Hamas-led militants from the strip launched a devastating terror attack on southern Israel. Now, they are not just fighting cancer but also the feeling of guilt at not being able to return and be with their families while the conflict rages in Gaza. "We understood that they are extremely anxious and nervous, and that we need to do more than just provide a place to stay, and food. They need to talk about what is going on, what they are going through," said one of the social workers at the hospital, who didn't want to be identified by name.

OH OH Germans not messing around German police raid suspected Hamas and Samidoun properties The German Interior Ministry on Thursday said police had conducted raids on properties in four federal states connected to suspected Hamas and Samidoun members. Germany, along with the US, the EU and others, has designated Hamas a terrorist organization. Samidoun is an international pro-Palestinian network. Berlin had banned the activities of both organizations in early November. "We continue our consistent action against radical Islamists," German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement. "With the bans on Hamas and Samidoun in Germany, we have sent a clear signal that we will not tolerate any glorification or support of the barbaric terror of Hamas against Israel," Faeser added. "Islamists and antisemites must not feel safe anywhere," she said. www.dw.com/en/german-police-raid-suspected-hamas-and-samidoun-properties/a-67497037 |

Well some of the hostages are released Israel-Hamas war: Some hostages released from captivity Red Cross confirms release of 24 hostages from Gaza The International Committee of the Red Cross has confirmed the transfer of 24 hostages out of Gaza and into Egypt. "We have facilitated this release by transporting them from Gaza to the Rafah border, marking the real-life impact of our role as a neutral intermediary between the parties," the organization said on social media. What's next for the released Israeli hostages? Israeli hostages released from Gaza will be accompanied by military officers "every step of the way," a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told DW on Friday afternoon. "Once they cross over into Israeli territory, we will be taking them to an air base," said Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner. "From there, there will be an initial medical assessment and a clarification of identities," he added. "And from there they will be taken to hospitals, and afterwards, to their families." He said designated IDF officers will accompany the families "every step of the way." "Of course, we need to be very prepared for very different scenarios, issues of health, and of other issues of the individuals as they develop," he added. As the release of hostages from Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails takes place, the IDF said it will maintain a defensive capability with the intent of resuming attacks against the militant Islamist group Hamas when the truce ends. "One of our war goals is to bring home the hostages, and this is why it is absolutely reasonable for us to hold our fire, hold our positions, and enable the transfer of the hostages out of Gaza and to Israel safe and sound," Lerner said. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-some-hostages-released-from-captivity/live-67538832 |

Here other kicker majoirty of Arab countries don't want take control of Gaza they think too gangstra in other words Gaza is Compton of Israel Gaza: Arab countries unwilling to assume future control Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi did not mince his words during the Manama Dialogue of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. "All of us have to speak loud and clear about the catastrophe that the Israeli war is bringing, not just on Gaza, but on the region in general," he said in Bahrain in mid-November. Safadi's words highlight that even those Arab states that have diplomatically recognized Israel are currently distancing themselves from its military response to the Hamas terror attack on October 7. Hamas is classified as a terrorist organization in Germany, the European Union, the US and elsewhere. The solidarity that Arabs feel for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip — especially in view of the high and rising death toll — outweighs this far-reaching classification.

Yeah you better let them rest LOL! What happens next for the released hostages If Israel and Hamas can smoothly navigate freeing hostages in Gaza and Palestinians in Israeli custody on Friday, Matthew Chance, CNN’s chief global affairs correspondent, said it is a positive sign for the next several days ahead. Negotiating and executing the freeing of hostages has been a “long and difficult logistical operation," he said. "If this day goes off without much of a hitch, that's very positive for the other days following in that way as well,” Chance reported, referring to the agreed four-day pause in fighting to allow aid to enter the Gaza Strip. So what happens to the released hostages now? The 13 Israeli hostages as well as 11 other foreign nations are now back in Israel. There, they will be given medical assessments and have access to things like food, showers and a change of clothes, he said. Once that processing is complete, the freed hostages will board helicopters at the Hatzerim Airbase to go to specific hospitals across the country, based on their needs, Chance reported from the Israeli airbase. edition.cnn.com/middleeast/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-24-23 |

This is kinda heartbreaking and sad As fighting pauses, Gazans displaced from north want to return home to bury their dead CNN — “I am on my way to see my home… my family that is under the rubble,” Mahmoud Moharram, a displaced Palestinian, said as he walked with a group of residents hoping to return to northern Gaza while the lull in fighting holds. “We want to get our relatives, our children,” Moharram, who, along with countless Palestinians, evacuated his home in the north amid Israel’s military campaign, told CNN. “We left them. We want to go home,” he added. The long-awaited Friday truce between Israel and Hamas has provided thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with a moment’s respite from nearly seven weeks of fighting. The sound of overhead military drones on Friday quietened for the first time since October 7 – the day Hamas brutally assaulted Israeli cities, killing more than 1,200 people in the largest such attack on Israel since the country’s founding i edition.cnn.com/2023/11/24/middleeast/displaced-palestinians-gaza-head-north-amid-truce-mime-intl/index.html |
