#Israeli forces have blocked all attempts to deliver aid to northern #Gaza since launching a large-scale offensive there on 5 October, #UN data shows. Around 70,000 Palestinians are estimated to be trapped in the area, cut off from #humanitarian aid & facing ‘diminishing conditions for survival.’

Something from 2008. Who was shooting the peace negotiations in #MiddleEast?
ignatius: In the category of problems or opportunities in the ME, a leading item would be #Syria, which keeps advertising its interest in peace negotiations yet isn’t at the table. Zbig, you were just there, and talked to President Bashar al-Assad. What did you hear?
brzezinski: Basically two major messages, which he stated...
...The second point was in response to a question I raised. I said to him, “Looking at your conflict with Israel, would you be prepared to sign a peace treaty with the Israelis in which your territorial aspirations were satisfied but which would not be in any other way conditioned on what happens between the Israelis and the #Palestinians?” In other words, something resembling the Sadat-Israeli accommodation. And his answer was an unequivocal, “Yes, absolutely, provided we obtain a full territorial restitution to the lines that existed prior to June 1967.”
Now I repeated that when I was subsequently in #Israel, and the Israeli answer was a little more complex. They said, “Yes, that’s fine.That’s good news, but he’s got to cut ties with #Hezbollah. He’s go to cut ties with #Hamas. He’s got to end all support of terrorism. He’s got to divorce himself from the Iranians.”

Live Updates: Cease-Fire in #Lebanon Takes Effect

The truce is intended to stop more than a year of fighting between #Israel and the #Lebanese militant group #Hezbollah.

Israel reached a deal for a 60-day ceasefire with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah after weeks of talks mediated by the U.S. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/27/world/politics/israel-hezbollah-ceasefire-agreement/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #iran #lebanon #hezbollah #us #joebiden #france #emmanuelmacron

BREAKING #NEWS

Biden announces that he has FINALLY secured an internationally backed PERMENANT #CEASEFIRE between the government of #Israel and the #Lebanon militia
group #Hezbollah.

While it is unclear how he managed this, if it means anything for #peace in #Gaza, the #WestBank, and #Palestine, or whether it will actually last, it marks MAJOR progress in deescalating the #Netanyahu regime's constant warfare and aggression which has gone on for the two decades since Netanyahu first came to power. It is likely that nations in Europe and the #MiddleEast will now attempt to leverage this and other factors, such as the Biden administration's sanctions against #Israeli #settlers and other #terrorist groups, to attempt to deescalate the situation in Palestine.

(Now if only he had managed something like this BEFORE the damn election...)

Israel and Hezbollah inched closer to signing a cease-fire deal that may be concluded in the coming days, even as the two sides continued to fire artillery and rockets at each other. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/26/world/israel-hezbollah-deal-attacks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #iran #lebanon #hezbollah

The coming years will see a new wave of revolution in the Middle East and Islamic world.

Not just popular uprisings, but sadly extremism too.

People have seen their own monarchs and dictators as puppets of the USA. Autocrats violently oppressing their own people to protect Israel's genocide and war crimes.

"Where are the Arab countries?" Indeed.

We may be moving toward a #truce between the historic county of #Lebanon and the colonial occupier that is #Israel. Not in place yet, but frenzied talks and some progress reported. Now to stop the #GazaGenocide and prosecute Bibi and Gallant for #WarCrimes!
