October 8, 2025ย The Palestinian group accused Netanyahu of attempting to โobstruct and thwartโ a deal
by Kyle Anzalone, Antiwar. com, October 7, 2025
Hamas issued its demands for reaching an agreement with Israel to release the remaining hostages and end the war. Israel and Hamas are engaged in indirect negotiations to attempt to reach an agreement under a framework proposed by President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Hamas gave its demands for reaching a deal. The Palestinian groupโs positions include a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from all of Gaza, the unrestricted entry of humanitarian and relief aid, and the immediate rebuilding of the Strip overseen by Palestinians.
Demanding the full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza may create a barrier to reaching a deal. Under Trumpโs 20-point peace plan, Israel would engage in a phased withdrawal from Gaza but retain a large buffer zone around the Strip.
Additionally, the Presidentโs proposal called for the rebuilding of Gaza to be completed by a trust that includes Trump as the chair and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair on the board.
Trump unveiled the peace plan in a presser with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week. However, after Hamas agreed to release the Israeli hostages on Friday and Trump called for an immediate ceasefire, Netanyahu has continued military operations in Gaza.
Tuesdayโs negotiations between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, were the second day of talks. On Monday, Egyptian and Qatari officials reported the negotiations were โpositive,โ and Trump said the deal had a โgood chance.โ
Netanyahu has remained pessimistic that a deal will be completed, reportedly leading to friction with Trump. On Friday, Axios reports, Trump lashed out at Netanyahu on a call when he expressed skepticism about Hamas agreeing to release the hostages.
Hamas and Trump have said that a ceasefire is critical to facilitating the release of the remaining 48 Israeli hostages in Gaza. Israeli strikes in Gaza continued on Tuesday. Netanyahu says he will not order the IDF to halt operations until all the hostages are returned to Israel.
Hamasโs spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, said that the group was working to โovercome all obstaclesโ to reach an agreement, but Netanyahu was attempting to โobstruct and thwartโ a deal as he had โdeliberately thwarted all previous rounds.โ
Israel has assassinated multiple Hamas negotiators over the past two years. Last month, Netanyahu ordered the assassination of the Palestinian groupโs leadership in Qatar as they were meeting to discuss a ceasefire and hostage exchange proposed by Trump. The Israeli strikes failed to kill the targeted Hamas official.
On Tuesday, Trump said he had dispatched American negotiators to join the ongoing talks in Egypt.

Uncle Tomism is the defining trait of people who get some prominent official positions under the rule of colonial masters, who were instrumental in creating the monster that is now devouring Palestinians. As a rule, they do what their superiors ask them to do, and they do more than they were supposed to do.
Haven’t we seen what Priti Patel and Suella Braverman did before Shabana Mahmood stepped in as PM Starmer’s Home Secretary? She is a disgrace to the people who stand for the national rights of Palestinians, oppose their genocide by a terrorist colonial power in the Middle East and stand firm by their protests despite all the oppression and brutality of the Starmer government.
Shabana Mahmood is using the police force to suppress the voice of the protesters against the crimes of Israel. Her policy and actions to suppress the voice of the British protesters against what Israel has been and continues to do in Gaza is an affront to all those who value freedom to voice their views and oppose what the indicted war criminals do with impunity, merely because they are backed by US president Trump.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been taken by Israeli forces after the interception of vessels from the Gaza aid flotilla.
Israelโs Foreign Ministry said on X that โseveral vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port,โ adding: โGreta and her friends are safe and healthy.โ
The ministry also shared a video showing Thunberg being escorted away. Israel has provided no substantive evidence to support the claim the flotilla is linked to Hamas.
Activists have called the interception illegal and โpiracyโ.
Gaza Plan Released by US Includes Significant Changes Requested by Netanyahu in Kushner-Witkoff Meeting
October 1, 2025According to a report from Axios, the changes infuriated Arab officials involved in the negotiations
by Dave DeCamp, Antiwar. com, September 30, 2025 at 1:43 pm ET | Gaza, Israel, Palestine
The Gaza ceasefire proposal released by the White House on Monday included significant changes that were requested by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Axios reported on Tuesday.
The Times of Israel also reported that Netanyahu was able to secure key changes to the proposal during a meeting on Sunday with US envoy Steve Witkoff and his top advisor, Jared Kushner. According to Axios, the release of the deal with the changes infuriated Arab officials involved in the negotiations.
At a press conference with Netanyahu, President Trump presented his proposal as something that has been widely accepted by the Arab world, though the deal was significantly different than what the US and a group of Arab and Muslim countries had previously agreed to due to the changes.
The changes were related to two of the most sensitive issues in the negotiations: the disarmament of Hamas and Israelโs withdrawal from Gaza. The new proposal ties Israelโs phased withdrawal from territory to the โdemilitarizationโ of Gaza and the ability of an international force to take over the land.
The proposal also essentially gives Israel and the US a veto over the withdrawal from Gaza by stating the IDF โwill withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the US.โ
According to The Times of Israel, the initial proposal approved by the Arab countries simply stated that the IDF โwill progressively hand over the Gaza territory that [it] occup[ies].โ Even after all conditions are met, the new proposal will allow Israel to occupy a perimeter zone until Gaza is โproperly secure from any resurgent terror threat.โ
While the language could be interpreted as a requirement for a full Israeli withdrawal, Netanyahu has made clear that he does not see it that way. โNow the whole world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is pressuring Hamas to accept the terms that we created together with Trump, to bring back all the hostages โ the living and the dead โ while the IDF stays in the Strip,โ he said in a video statement on Sunday night.
Hamasโs long-standing position has been that itโs willing to release all remaining Israeli captives in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas has also rejected the idea of disarming until the creation of a Palestinian state or a Palestinian force that could replace its armed wing.
While many details need to be worked out, Trump and Netanyahu have framed the proposal as a final offer that must be accepted or Israel will โfinish the jobโ in Gaza. Trump has also made clear heโs willing to continue backing the genocidal war if an agreement isnโt reached. โIf Hamas rejects the deal, Bibi you will have our full backing to do what you have to do,โ he said on Monday.
Trump said on Tuesday that he will give Hamas โthree or four daysโ to respond to the proposal. โAll of the Arab countries are signed up, the Muslim countries all signed up, Israelโs all signed up. Weโre just waiting for Hamas, and Hamas is either going to be doing it or not โ and if itโs not, itโs going to be a very sad end,โ he said.

September 30, 2025The flotillaโs ‘Orange Line’ crossing is the same waters where Israeli forces previously illegally seized the Handala and Madleen aid ships
The Cradle, News Desk, SEP 30, 2025,
The Global Sumud Flotilla reached 150 nautical miles from Gazaโs coast on 30 September, with activists declaring they are now in Israelโs โkidnapping zoneโ and warning of possible interception within the next two days.
โAs we approach 150 nautical miles distance from Gaza, we enter Israelโs kidnapping zone. Keep all eyes on us and on Gaza in the coming 48 hours. Itโs about damn time to break the siege,โ activist Roos Ykema said in a video posted on Instagram.
Organizers believe the fleet could arrive in Gaza within three days, depending on speed, weather, and the risk of mechanical breakdowns or Israeli attacks.
They have named the 150-mile line the โOrange Line,โ the point where previous aid ships such as the Madleen and Handala were illegally seized by Israeli naval forces earlier this year.
Rights groups are calling for demonstrations outside foreign ministries in case of arrests or assaults on the flotilla.
Italy and Spain have both sent warships to follow the convoy, reportedly to escort the aid fleet safely and guard against Israeli attacks.
Most recently, Turkiye confirmed its navy intervened after one of the ships began leaking, with footage showing frigates assisting the flotilla.
The Turkish Defense Ministry said on X that its vessels were operating โin coordination with relevant institutionsโ and reaffirmed their commitment to โthe protection of humanitarian values and the safety of innocent civilians.โ
The Flotilla has called on governments, including Turkiye, Italy, and Spain, to move past symbolic gestures and join the fleet to Gazaโs shores, upholding the right to free passage and ensuring humanitarian access under international law.
However, despite the assistance, calls to action, and pledges of support, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni previously dismissed the mission as โgratuitous, dangerous, irresponsible,โ insisting aid could be routed through Cyprus and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
Her proposal echoed Israeli demands that all supplies be unloaded at Ashkelon under its supervision, a condition flotilla organizers rejected as an extension of the blockade rather than a neutral arrangement.
Several of the Sumud Flotilla ships have already come under attack, including two struck by suspected Israeli drones while docked in Tunisia earlier this month.
An online tracker shows the vessels sailing near Egyptian waters and pressing toward Gaza. Despite tensions, activist Kieran Andrieu reported that morale on board โis higher than itโs been in a long time.โ
The fleet, carrying activists, journalists, and artists from 44 countries, is the latest attempt to shatter Israelโs siege on Gaza, where famine grips the population, and genocide continues unchallenged.
โWork with us or dieโ: Israel killing prominent Gaza families for refusing collaboration
September 29, 2025At least thirty members of the Dughmush family were killed after rejecting orders from Israelโs Shin Bet security service

Israel has targeted and killed members of prominent families in the Gaza Strip for refusing to cooperate with Tel Avivโs plan to create clan-based governing bodies aimed at replacing Hamas, according to a report by Asharq al-Awsat.
According to sources, Israel’s internal security agency, the Shin Bet, contacted the representatives of the Bakr and Dughmush families, who remain inside their homes in Gaza City. The Shin Bet plan includes dividing Gaza into different regions controlled by clans and local armed groups.
They would be tasked with confronting Hamas and providing intelligence to the Israeli army, the report says.
โAfter these families refused to cooperate with Shin Bet officers, Israeli forces launched a series of raids on inhabited and vacant homes belonging to members of these families and clans,โ the sources told Asharq al-Awsat.
Over the weekend, Israel struck the Bakr family home south of the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City. Six family members were killed and 11 were wounded.
A multistory building owned by the family was also bombed, resulting in the injury of several children.
In Gaza Cityโs Sabra neighborhood, Israel bombed a home and killed at least 30 members of the Dughmush family.
โIsraeli intelligence contacted the family’s mukhtar and elders and asked them to form an armed group to govern the Shati refugee camp area after it purges it of Hamas members. The family categorically refused to be part of this option,โ a source in the Bakr family said.
The Bakr family is one of the largest and most prominent families in the Gaza Strip. It plays a major role in the stripโs fishing industry.
โThe family’s decision stemmed from a national stance rejecting any form of cooperation with the occupation, and is not intended to support Hamas or any other organizational group,โ the family member added.
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor also confirmed that Israel is trying to coerce families to cooperate with them under the risk of starvation, forced displacement, or bombardment.
โWhat began as individual extortion has escalated into a systematic, collective practice aimed at dismantling Palestinian social fabric by forcing people to betray their communities and subordinating survivors to survival conditions that destroy communal identity and resilience,โ it said.
Several Israeli-backed armed groups are operating in the Gaza Strip under Tel Avivโs protection. These groups, which are tasked with confronting Hamas, are responsible for much of the aid looting that goes on in Gaza.
One of these groups is the Rafah-based gang headed by Yasser Abu Shabab โ a Fatah-linked militia leader with alleged ties to ISIS.
The gang is responsible for scouting and securing territory ahead of Israeli military operations. Additionally, Abu Shabab has been accused of drug trafficking.
In recent months, more of these militias have popped up.
According to Hebrew media reports, an ex-Palestinian Authority (PA) officer named Hossam al-Astal is now leading an armed group in Khan Yunis and coordinating with Israeli occupation forces. The group is reportedly actively recruiting members and advocating for peace with Israel.
In late 2024, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza established a police force in the strip called the Arrow (โSahemโ) Unit, aimed at combating aid looters and militias linked to Israel.

September 25, 2025Israel continues heavy attacks on central and southern Gaza despite telling Palestinians in Gaza City to flee there
by Dave DeCamp, Antiwar. com, September 24, 2025 at 1:25 pm ET | Gaza, Israel
Israeli strikes and gunfire across the Gaza Strip killed at least 84 Palestinians on Wednesday, medical sources told the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The IDF continues its assault on Gaza City, where it aims to forcibly displace the entire civilian population and raze every building to the ground, but it also continues to launch attacks in central and southern Gaza despite telling the Palestinians in Gaza City to head south.
Al Jazeera reported that an Israeli strike hit a stadium in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza that has been turned into a shelter for displaced Palestinians, killing 12 people, including seven women and two children.

โDespite these endless evacuation orders from Israeli forces telling Palestinians to leave Gaza City for the central and southern areas of the Strip, they are still being targeted wherever they go,โ said Al Jazeera reporter Hind Khoudary.
WAFA reported that three Palestinians were killed while waiting for humanitarian aid northwest of Rafah, southern Gaza. Among the three killed was Mohammed al-Satari, a 36-year-old soccer player who previously played for the Shabab Rafah Sports Club.
In Gaza City, medics told Reuters that 20 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes on a shelter housing displaced people near a market in the center of the city.
โWe were sleeping in Godโs care, there was nothing โ they did not inform us, or not even give us a sign โ it was a surprise,โ Sami Hajjaj, a survivor of the attack, told Reuters. โThere are children and women, around 200 people maybe, six-seven families, this square is full of families.
Gazaโs Health Ministry said in its daily update, which it releases about midday Gaza time, that it recorded the deaths of 33 Palestinians and the recovery of four bodies of Palestinians killed by previous Israeli attacks. The ministry said that its violent death toll since October 7, 2023, has reached 65,419, and the number of wounded has climbed to 167,160. Studies have found that the ministryโs numbers are likely a significant undercount.

Pro. Ilan Pappe has offered an objective and realistic assessment of what the present recognition of Palestine by a few Western governments means. Not many political activists have bought the charade of recognition because this political step has not challenged the cornerstone of the Zionist colonial occupation and the ongoing unspeakable savagery of the Israeli mass murders of the besieged Palestinians of Gaza and the physical destruction of Gaza.
However, Ilan Pappe also cautiously points to some positive aspects inherent in the recognition and its ramifications. As an old activist and academic, his views carry weight and should be carefully analysed by people who oppose what the US-backed Israeli criminals have been and are still doing, with much bravado and total immunity.
Italian workers show the way with massive strikes in support of Gaza โ demand TUC makes a stand and organises a general strike in the UK
September 24, 2025News Line,
HUNDREDS of thousands of workers and youth took action throughout Italy on Monday after Italian trade unions called a nationwide strike in support of Palestinians in Gaza and against the support given by the right-wing government of Giorgia Meloni to the genocidal Israeli regime.
While the governments of the UK, France, Australia, Canada and Portugal gave formal recognition to the Palestinian State, the Italian government has, along with Germany, resisted the overwhelming pressure from workers and youth to make even this token gesture.
While the US is the biggest provider of weapons to Israel, Germany is the second biggest supplier of arms and military equipment to the genocidal state, followed by Italy.
The staunch support of the Meloni government to Israel and its murderous drive to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza โ for a war that has been massively stepped up with the bombing and ground invasion of Gaza City โ has produced a mass movement by workers and youth across Italy.
On Monday, this mass opposition erupted following a call by Italian trade unions and pro-Palestinian groups for a one-day strike to force the Italian government to โchoose whose side it is onโ.
The strike demand was issued by the Autonomous Dockworkers Collective (CALP) and the Basic Union (USB) national grassroots trade union confederation.
Protests and strikes struck 81 towns and cities across Italy under the slogan โLetโs Block Everythingโ, the same slogan of the massive demonstrations in France recently, over government plans to slash workersโ pensions in order to cut 44 billion euros from the French national debt.
In Venice, thousands marched with banners reading โGaza is burning, we will block everythingโ. Trains and buses were cancelled, schools and universities closed as transport workers, teachers and students came out on strike.
Italian dockworkers have been in the forefront of action against Zionist genocide. Last week, two container ships carrying explosives to Israel were blocked at the port of Ravenna after dockworkers reported their cargo to the authorities and refused to load them. In early August, dockworkers in Genoa prevented a Saudi-owned vessel from being loaded with Italian-made weapons destined for Israel.
Members of the dockworkers union (CALP) from Genoa are on board a boat that set off from the port on 30 August to join the Sumud Flotilla of over 70 ships loaded with medical supplies and humanitarian aid headed for Gaza to break the Israeli siege of the Strip.
50,000 workers and youth took to the streets of Genoa in a massive demonstration of support, while the dockworkers issued a warning that if the flotilla is attacked, as Israel has previously attempted, then the dockers will block all goods headed for Israel and halt all trade across Europe.
One dockworker told the rally held as the boat departed: โIf we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe.โ
This is no idle threat. The port of Genoa is the key Mediterranean shipping hub for Italy and the EU with 2.74 million containers passing through in 2023, closing the port would indeed shut down Europe. The dockworkers and trade unions in Italy have demonstrated the enormous power of the working class.
Their actions stand in stark contrast to the complete refusal of the TUC in Britain to organise anything other than lunchtime meetings to โdiscussโ Palestine or pass harmless motions condemning the mass murder of Palestinians. The time for simply condemning genocide in Gaza is over.
The UK, EU and US working class have the power to end Zionist genocide by forcing their trade unions to immediately call indefinite general strikes to bring down the governments that are enablers of all the war crimes and genocide being committed in Gaza, going forward to workersโ governments and socialism.
Workersโ governments will break with the Israeli regime, and not only recognise the State of Palestine but provide it with all the material support required for the victory of the Palestinian Revolution. This is the way forward!
