The two leaders are expected to center their discussions on aid delivery to Gaza and efforts to reach a new captive-prisoner exchange deal amid the anticipated Israeli invasion of Rafah. This marks the highest level meeting between the allies since the drone attack last month targeting a US base, allegedly in northeast Jordan, which killed three American soldiers, as regional Resistance groups escalate their operations in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza…

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesman for the presidency, said that the US administration ‘should not remain a hostage of Israeli policy, especially since the region is at a crossroads, and the continuation of the war against the Palestinian people will lead to its regional expansion.’ Abu Rudeineh added said that ‘the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people must be stopped immediately, and the massacres to which Palestinian people are subjected to daily in the Gaza Strip must be stopped, especially if the occupation army launches a ground attack on the city of Rafah, which is crowded with displaced people.’ He…

The Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas deems the Israeli massacre in Rafah a deliberate escalation in the genocidal war on the Palestinian people.

The Washington Post reported on Sunday, citing unnamed official sources, that US President Joe Biden and his administration and his top aides are increasingly edging towards a breach with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting that they no longer regard him as a productive partner who can be influenced. According to the report, some of Biden’s aides reportedly urged him to publicly criticize Netanyahu over Gaza operations, sources say.

Steven Sahiounie, journalist and political commentator Palestinians sheltering in Rafah, the last remaining ‘safe-place’ in Gaza, are awaiting extermination at the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the IDF orders to ‘evacuate’ over 1 million people. In this case, the term evacuate means exterminate. There is nowhere to go. Some have wondered if they might be forced to walk to the north of Gaza, but that area is bombed to the ground by the IDF. Any remaining structures that could have been used to shelter have been demolished by the IDF engineering…
