Putting pressure on israeli govt

Video released shows two Israeli hostages alive in Gaza

A video showing two Israeli men held hostage in Gaza since Hamas' October 7 raid on southern Israel has been released by the armed wing of the Islamist group.

The two men in the video, who are shown urging Israeli authorities to strike a deal on the return of hostages, were identified by the campaign group the Hostages and Missing Families Forum as Keith Siegel, 64, and Omri Miran, 47.

The video, which was released on Saturday, came just three days after Hamas issued another showing 24-year-old hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin alive. Both Siegel and Goldberg-Polin also have US citizenship.

In the video, Siegel and Miran both speak of being in danger from bombs and urge continued protests in Israel, calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a hostage deal.

"It's time to reach a deal that will get us out of here safe and healthy ... Keep protesting, so that there will be a deal now," Miran said.

I dont think Bibi taking Biden calls LOL!

Palestinian President Abbas says only US could stop Rafah offensive
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said only the United States would be able to stop Israel from attacking Rafah, the city in the southern Gaza Strip where some 1.4 million Palestinians are seeking refuge from the ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas.

Speaking at a World Economic Forum meeting in the Saudi capital of Riyadh on Sunday, Abbas said an Israeli ground offensive in Rafah would be "the biggest disaster in the history of the Palestinian people."

He called for an end to the fighting and for more aid to make its way to the devastated Gaza Strip.

The president of the Palestinian Authority said he would refuse to accept the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza or the West Bank and expressed worry that "Israel will try to push Palestinians out of the West Bank after it's done with Gaza."

Hamas hostage video 'increases pressure on Israel'

Yeah to a point

Israel 'assured' Washington it would hold off Rafah attack to hear US concerns
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said Israel had agreed to hear Washington's position before launching a full-scale ground offensive on Gaza's Rafah.

"They've assured us that they won't go into Rafah until we've had a chance to really share our perspectives and our concerns with them," Kirby said in an interview with broadcaster ABC.

Media reports suggest that Israel's military is preparing to evacuate Palestinian civilians from Rafah and launch an assault on Hamas there. The US has said it would not support Israel's plan without a credible humanitarian strategy.

At the same time, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is facing pressure from the far-right, with hardline Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich threatening to bring down the government, likely by withdrawing his party from the ruling coalition, if the Rafah operation is called off.
