The UN must pressure Hamas to release hostages and surrender. Israel is using military pressure to release hostages.
From celebration on the streets after 7th october to humanitarian disaster today.
"Potential disaster"??? The last 4 months have been a disaster.
3rd time….stop the g word
why can't they Mount pressure on Hamas to release the hostage why are they putting pressure on Israel
As if the Israeli government needs the US or it's allies to tell them this. Just keep sending them military and save your finger at what their doing. It's pathetic…
stop with the warnings grumblings and talk talk Biden, DO SOMETHING
The US publicly expresses concern for the refugees, but behind the scenes, to Israel, it's like "don't mind us, that was PR".
So that the humanitarian crisis is averted, this is Egypt's opportunity to do the right thing and open the border to hundreds-of-thousands of refugees from Rafah. Same applies to Qatar and the other Gulf States.
For those of the US who are inclined towards giving Joe Biden a political kicking this 2024, they need to tread lightly and be mindful that if they enable Trump to get re-elected, many of them stand to be deported for being insufficiently American, when they get Trump and all that comes with his Stalinist reign of terror. Is to have the back of Hamas really worth it ??
Unfortunately Rafah is duplicated underground..
Well, they supported Hamas and Hamas attacked their neighbors 😛
They allowed Hamas to rule Gaza after overthrowing the established democratic system…
Gutierrez is the most hypocrite leader I hv ever seen. He is so loud about Gaza like that’s the only refugee problem in this world. God will always win
Israel continues to fight terrorism anywhere there are including Rafah.
Why are you not mentioning that the imagery filmed in Gaza is only filmed under Hamas supervision? You should be making that fully transparent.
These are propaganda images meant to evoke feelings in us and do not represent the actual full reality in Gaza.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇫🇷🇬🇧🩸🩸🩸🩸
unfortune the palestine and israel people suffer😢
God, this sucks! I am still pissed off about Racheal Corrie! Can not imagine how Palestinian's feel after 75 years of this!
'What did we do to deserve this?'
You are absolutely stupid if you still don't want to understand.
The true is that NOBODY wants them. None of the Arab league countries, no their neighbours Egypt and Jordan expelled them, so did Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria etc BECAUSE of their TERRORIST activities in those countries.
Great, I heard that Rafah is the last hamas stronghold.
enough of this lip service #saverafah
What did you do????????? What did you do to deserve this???? What…..????
