Devil in the Details of Trump’s “Final Proposal” for next Gaza “Ceasefire”

by Jeremy Scahill on Jul 05, 2025 at dropsitenews. via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-Ha

Hamas accused Trump of aiding an Israeli “deception operation,” but the movement says it wants to bridge the gaps and make a deal.

18 March 2025.. Israel unleashed “hell” on Gaza in horror air-strikes, smashing the ceasefire and killing at least 413 Palestinians including women and children.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump touted the new U.S.-promoted Gaza “ceasefire” framework as the “final proposal,” but while it contains some substantive changes to the previous terms crafted by the U.S. and Israel, the plan would still allow Israel to resume its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip after an initial 60-day truce. “Trump is a crucial part of Israel’s deception operation,” a Hamas official told Drop Site News.

“The United States and President Trump are committed to work to guarantee the continuation of the negotiations with goodwill until they reach a final agreement,” the draft says, according to the Arabic language version given to Hamas. It adds that Trump will personally announce the deal.

The official characterized the proposal, which was also obtained by Drop Site, as containing mostly “rhetorical changes,” though he acknowledged that some of the amended language describing Trump’s desire to end the war was clearly aimed at convincing Hamas to support the agreement.

The Hamas official said the “new” draft was largely a repackaging of terms that the U.S. and Israel tried to strong arm Hamas into accepting in late May. That deal would have allowed some Israeli forces to remain entrenched in Gaza, offered no clear guarantees for a permanent end to the war, and allowed Israel to effectively maintain control of food and aid distribution in Gaza.

Among the apparent concessions to Hamas in the document, one involves the timing of the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza. Israel had wanted ten living captives released within a week of a ceasefire taking effect, while the new proposal would see eight released on the first day and the remaining two on day 50. Hamas has expressed concern that Israel would resume the war after retrieving its captives.

According to another section of the potential agreement, once Hamas agrees to a ceasefire, then deliveries of food, medicine, and other aid will commence immediately and will be distributed through “agreed channels,” including the United Nations and the Red Crescent. It states that this would be done “in accordance with an agreement to be reached regarding aid for the civilian population.” A Hamas official said the phrasing would continue to allow Israel to treat humanitarian aid as “negotiable.” It makes no mention of the U.S.-Israeli “aid” scheme run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

On TruthSocial Wednesday, Trump wrote, “Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War,” adding, “I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better—IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.”

Sorry If This Is Antisemitic But I Think It’s Wrong To Burn Children Alive

Israel is burning children alive in Gaza. And call me an antisemitic Jew-hating Nazi terrorist lover if you must, but I happen to believe that’s wrong.

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley).

❖

Now that it’s been made clear that Israel’s goal in Gaza is the complete ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians, Israel apologists have been shifting from bleating about hostages and Hamas to arguing that ethnic cleansing is actually fine and good. Which makes sense; that’s really the only argument they can make at this point.

❖

Never forget that the US Congress gave Netanyahu dozens of standing ovations during a single speech while he was in the middle of perpetrating history’s first live-streamed genocide. This is who they are. It will always be who they are.

❖

Israel has done more to promote hatred toward Jews in the last year and a half than Stormfront has in its entire existence. No white supremacist propaganda will ever be as effective at spreading hatred against Jews as openly mass murdering children under a Star of David flag.

❖

Support for Israel used to be the overwhelmingly dominant opinion in the western world. Luckily that’s changing, but the fact that this was the case until Israel exposed itself shows you really can’t just go along with majority opinion on any issue. You need to think for yourself.

Ignore what the crowd says. Ignore people who scream at you for disagreeing with their position. Look at the raw facts as free from your own cognitive biases as you are able, and have the courage to stand on your own if necessary.

❖

Gaza is such an easy moral issue to get right that there’s no way anyone who gets it wrong isn’t a shitty person in other areas of their life as well. I feel sorry for anyone who has interpersonal relationships with Israel supporters, because they’d suck to be around.

❖

World Food Programme director Cindy McCain is saying that she’s seen no evidence of Hamas stealing aid entering Gaza. Israel’s one and only argument for continuing to block aid to Gaza is being publicly debunked by a member of one of the most pro-Israel families in US politics.

❖

The US has reportedly delivered some 90,000 tons of weapons to Israel since October 2023.

I mostly focus on the Gaza genocide these days, but sometimes figures like this make me zoom out a few clicks and think about how bat shit insane our civilization is as a whole. Just think how much good we could do in the world if we weren’t pouring resources into evil shit like this.

❖

Murdoch-owned publication The Australian came after me the other day for tweeting “Two Israeli embassy staff getting shot in Washington DC is less newsworthy than tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed in Israel’s genocidal land grab. It is less important. It deserves less attention. It is not the main story. Israel’s genocide in Gaza is the main story.”

They called me a “journalist” in scare quotes, which I guess is supposed to be an insult, but coming from the Murdoch press it can only be seen as a compliment.

❖

According to the official western narrative, Americans becoming violently radicalized by a US-backed genocide is a bigger issue than the US-backed genocide.

According to the official narrative, university protests against a transparent ethnic cleansing operation are a greater concern than the transparent ethnic cleansing operation.

According to the official narrative, western Zionist Jews feeling emotionally upset about opposition to a modern-day holocaust is a more urgent problem than a modern-day holocaust.

All of our institutions are backwards and evil. Our media. Our politics. Our education system. Our manufacturers of mainstream culture. This should be clear to everyone by now.

Everything we were taught to fear about the countries that the western empire hates is true of the western empire.

Every dark future we were warned about in dystopian fiction is true of the dystopia we are living in presently.

We live in a nightmare of a civilization, under an empire that is fueled by human blood. The closer you examine it, the uglier it gets.

This cannot be allowed to continue. It must not be allowed to continue.

The empire must fall.

I will never forget the ongoing Gaza holocaust. I will never let anyone else forget about the Gaza holocaust.

I will never forget the Gaza holocaust. I will never let anyone else forget about the Gaza holocaust.

No matter what happens or how this thing turns out, I will never let anyone my voice touches forget that our rulers did the most evil things imaginable right in front of us and lied to us about it the entire time.

I will never stop doing everything I can with my own small platform to help ensure that the perpetrators of this mass atrocity are brought to justice.

I will never stop doing everything I can to help bring down the western empire and to help free Palestine from the Zionist entity.

I will never forget those shaking children. Those tiny shredded bodies. Those starved, skeletal forms. The explosions followed by screams. The atrocities followed by western media silence.

I will never forget, and I will never forgive. I will never forgive our leaders. I will never forgive the western press. I will never forgive Israel. I will never forgive the mainstream US political parties. I will always want for them exactly what they wanted for the Palestinians.

No matter what happens or what they do in the future, they will always be the people who did this to Gaza. They will always be the people who inflicted this nightmare upon our species. That will always be the most significant thing about them. It will always be the single most defining characteristic about who they are as human beings.

And the same is true of all the ordinary members of the public who continued to stand with Israel long after evidence of its criminality became undeniable. They are genocide supporters, first and foremost.

If you stood on the side of Israel during the Gaza holocaust, then that is the most important thing about you, and it always will be. It doesn’t matter if you go to church on Sunday. It doesn’t matter if you are nice to your children and your pets. It doesn’t matter if you give money to charity, support local farmers, or drive an electric vehicle. The thing that matters most about you as a person is that you supported history’s first live-streamed genocide, and it always will be the thing that matters most about you.

I will keep bringing this up. Year after year. Decade after decade. I will keep rubbing everyone’s face in it. I will never tire of doing so. I will always do my part to remind the world who these people are, and what they did to Gaza.

Women Attack another War Supply Plane”US MILITARY OUT OF NEUTRAL IRELAND.” Eng/Esp

BREAKING: Three women attacked a US war supply plane at Shannon Airport, spraying it with red paint and carrying an Irish flag that read “US MILITARY OUT OF NEUTRAL IRELAND” and closing down the airport

from Palestine Action/agraciablog/ The Ditch. on 18 May 25 via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-GYx Telegram t.me/thefreeonline/3190

The plane pictured following the protest. Looks like women entered putting sleeping bag over barbed wire

The attacked plane is an Omni Air N351AX contracted to the US military.
These planes are key purveyors of genocide in Palestine and must not be allowed to continue!

The three women, affiliated with Palestine Action Éire, claim the plane that landed at Shannon Airport is transporting troops and munitions to active warzones in the Middle East, including Israel and Yemen. They argue that this violates Ireland’s constitutional commitment to neutrality and breaches international law.

Palestine Action Éire claim Action-

This action, “Operation Siren,” raises awareness of violations of neutrality and disrupts the war machine during Nakba Week, which commemorates the violent displacement of the Palestinian people from their homelands in 1948 by the settler colony.
The three women are calling for support in the fight against Irish complicity in the genocide. Support them at Shannon Airport and share this on your social media.

Once the security breach was detected, operations at the Co Clare airport were brought to a standstill.

The three heroic women were reportedly unhurt. They were charged with criminal damage to the illegal flight, but not with injuring the hospitalized policewoman, suggesting that she hurt herself while violently arresting the women.

Anti genocide sources called for an extension of such attacks to all airports and bases importing and handling the millions of tons of western donated armaments destined for Israeli massacres in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen.

«MILITARES ESTADOUNIDENSES FUERA DE IRLANDA NEUTRAL».

ÚLTIMA HORA: Tres mujeres atacaron un avión de guerra estadounidense en el aeropuerto de Shannon, rociando con pintura roja, portando una bandera irlandesa que decía «MILITARES ESTADOUNIDENSES FUERA DE IRLANDA NEUTRAL».
El avión atacado es un Omni Air N351AX contratado por el ejército estadounidense.
¡Estos aviones son proveedores clave del genocidio en Palestina y no se debe permitir que continúen!

Esta acción, «Operación Sirena», alerta sobre las violaciones de la neutralidad y desbarata la maquinaria bélica durante la Semana de la Nakba, que conmemora el violento desplazamiento del pueblo palestino de sus tierras natales en 1948 por parte de la colonia de colonos.

La organizacion Palestine Action Éire afirma que esto viola directamente el compromiso constitucional de Irlanda con la neutralidad y el derecho internacional. El grupo afirmó que las tres mujeres que participaron en la protesta de hoy alegan que el Boeing 767-300 CRAF de Omni Air, que aterrizó hoy en el aeropuerto de Shannon, está suministrando tropas y municiones a zonas de guerra activas en Oriente Medio, incluyendo Israel y Yemen.

Las tres mujeres piden apoyo en la lucha contra la complicidad irlandesa en el genocidio. ¡Apóyalas en el aeropuerto de Shannon y comparte esto en tus redes

‘Where are the Sanctions against Israel?.. Russians claim they suffered over 20,000 sanctions by Western rulers for invading to protect ethnic Russians – Meanwhile the same Western rulers refuse to even sanction Israeli Genocide, making themselves complicit in an ongoing terrorist massacre… No Gods No Masters!‘

JERUSALEM/CAIRO, May 17 (Reuters) – Israel’s airforce killed at least 146 Palestinians in new attacks on Gaza over the past 24 hours and injured many more, local health authorities said on Saturday, as the country appeared set to press ahead with a new ground offensive.

Israeli strikes since Thursday have seen one of the deadliest phases of bombardment since a truce collapsed in March. The latest strikes came as U.S. President Donald Trump ended his Middle East tour on Friday with no apparent progress towards a new ceasefire.

Air strikes have reportedly killed hundreds of people in Gaza as Israel intensified its bombardment in line with a plan for “conquest” of the enclave.

Although reports vary, health officials told Al Jazeera that at least 100 people had been killed by Israeli attacks on Friday, with many more missing under the rubble.

That added to the 143 reported killed the previous day, and pushed the overall death toll in the Palestinian territory to more than 53,000 since Israel launched its onslaught in October 2023 after a Hamas attack that killed around 1,200 Israelis and saw 250 or so taken captive.

Hamas has called on the international community to hold Israel to account for what it described as a “barbaric escalation”. The Israeli military has not commented on the strikes.

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated a promise to push ahead with a promised escalation in pursuit of his aim to destroy Hamas, the Palestinian armed group that governs Gaza.

Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip intensify, killing at least 13 more Palestinians since dawn today, including three members of the same family.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 53,272 Palestinians and wounded 120,673, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. The Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are presumed dead.

Palestine Solidarity Information, Analysis, Local Actions and Events for the week of April 20th

Massive peaceful public protests IGNORED as Elite support Israeli Genocide for Profit – We need more Direct Action which hurts their Pockets –STOP dehumanizing Palestinians!

by Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy GRIID on 20April 25 via thefreeonline at https://wp.me/pIJl9-GGD

STOP dehumanizing Palestinians!

It has been more than 18 months since the Israeli government began their most recent assault on Gaza and the West Bank.

The retaliation for the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack in Israel, has escalated to what the international community has called genocide, therefore, GRIID will be providing weekly links to information and analysis that we think can better inform us of what is happening, along with the role that the US government is playing.

We will also provide information on local events and actions that people can get involved in.

All of this information is to provide people with the capacity of what Noam Chomsky refers to as, intellectual self-defense.

The Civil Defense in Gaza disclosed that 54 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes since Saturday’s dawn. 2o April 2025

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily report on April 19 that Israeli occupation forces have killed 51,157 Palestinians and injured 116,724 others since October 7, 2023. In detail, 1,783 have been martyred, and 4,683 others have been injured since March 18, after “Israel” broke the ceasefire agreement and resumed its war on Gaza. https://t.me/almayadeenenglish/10804

UK covers up massacre report in Somaliland ‘police statelet’ colony

In recent months, Somaliland has become a subject of intense, unprecedented interest for the Western media. As Israeli and US officials scramble to find a destination to forcibly relocate Gaza’s population from their shattered homeland, the little-acknowledged, unrecognised breakaway statelet is increasingly viewed as an attractive option.

Multiple mainstream media reports indicate officials in Tel Aviv and Washington are making discrete overtures to Hargeisa on the topic. On March 14th, the Financial Times revealed:

“A US official briefed on Washington’s initial contacts with Somaliland’s presidency said discussions had begun about a possible deal to recognise the de facto state in return for the establishment of a military base near the port of Berbera on the Red Sea coast.”

The US is seeking anywhere to dump 2 million survivors of the Gaza Genocide they are still sponsoring

UK covers up new Somaliland massacre report Declassified UK 24 Apr 2023 — … Somaliland, after funding a police unit some blame for the killings … UK covers up Somaliland massacre report. Britain’s Foreign Office …

Somaliland’s President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi has made international recognition a major priority, and the prospect of a permanent US military presence insulating the breakaway territory from violent instability that regularly engulfs Somalia is also no doubt enormously attractive.

From Washington’s perspective too, such an arrangement offers profuse geopolitical gains well-beyond the involuntary relocation of millions of Palestinians, to make way for Trump’s fantasised ‘Gaza-Lago’. For one, Somaliland’s proximity to the Arabian peninsula makes the territory an ideal staging ground for strikes on Yemen.

This would represent a vital new strategic foothold for the Empire in Africa, at a time French and US occupation forces are being evicted from countries across the continent with ever-increasing rapidity. Moreover, it could serve as a counterweight to constantly growing Chinese and Russian influence locally.

In 2017, Beijing established its very first overseas military base in Somaliland’s neighbouring Djibouti. Ever since, the country has been a pugnacious critic of Western policy in the region, and allowed Iranian ships to dock at its ports.

In the Valley of Death: Somaliland’s Forgotten Genocide.. 1989 ‘Even in Hargeisa, many people don’t realize the extent of US support during the genocide. No American has ever apologized for what happened in Somaliland..’

The geopolitical and military utility of Somaliland’s recognition as a state has long-been understood in Washington. Project 2025, a lengthy “mandate for leadership” drawn up by the right-wing Heritage Foundation think tank, widely-perceived as a blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term in office, contained a dedicated section on “[countering] malign Chinese activity” in Africa.

It specifically recommended “the recognition of Somaliland statehood as a hedge against the US’ deteriorating position in Djibouti.”
