  1. She said that both of the parties involved denied it, which while it might be the standard for journalism, sure as hell doesn’t mean that it wasn’t true. They are both criminals according to their own justice systems.

  2. For clarification I don’t like neither Trump nor Bibi. Nonetheless I wanted to share this article as I’ve seen folks jumping on this story claiming that this is one more example of Bibi and Trump’s evil quid pro quo relationship when in reality Bibi has valid reasons to demand the Philadelphia Corridor to Gaza be controlled by Israel given the Egyptians failed (probably willfully) to stop smuggling into Gaza which enabled October 7th. There are far-right idiots in the Israeli government who don’t want a ceasefire at all but Hamas has rejected all the ceasefire proposals as well, something that doesn’t get enough attention. Sometimes I wonder if Bibi should just take whatever deal to finally bring the hostages home as more will probably die but I also get the point around the Corridor and wanting as many terrorists destroyed as possible.
