The White House on Thursday said it was exploring a series of pauses in the Israel-Hamas conflict to help people safely exit Gaza and allow humanitarian aid to get in, but reiterated its opposition to a full ceasefire.

National security spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that such pauses should be temporary and localized, and insisted they would not stop Israel from defending itself.

"What we're trying to do is explore the idea of as many pauses as might be necessary to continue to get aid out and to continue to work to get people out safely, including hostages," he told reporters at a regular White House briefing.

I sure hope those civillians will be allowed to return to their homes after this thing is over

What homes? They've been bombed into oblivion

[-] febra@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well, I sure hope they'll be allowed to return to whatever they have and that Israel and their allies will provide Palestine with an equivalent of the Marshall plan to help them get their lives back.

And I hope a magical unicorn will whisk me away into the land of bliss.

Nothing will happen. The entire city is ruined. Israel hasn't let building materials through the blockade - no concrete, no wood. Why would they flip 180 degrees and do something else?

The Israel plan is to move them to a new open air prison in Egypt and/or spread the rest to Greece, Spain, Canada

Forceful displacement is a flagrant violation of international law. So "moving them" shouldn't be an option. They have the right to their own land.

So they're planning a second mass illegal displacement of civillians now?

Homes, what homes? After Israel is done there would be nothing left but destroyed buildings and civilian infrastructure.
