Netanyahu is clearly trying to sabotage Trump’s ceasefire with yet another violation, on top of still restricting aid. The terms Israel signed expressly allow for the fact that Hamas may be unable to quickly locate or return the remains of deceased hostages not in its possession.
Netanyahu says Rafah crossing on Egypt-Gaza border to remain shut "until further notice" after WHO said it would reopen for sick and wounded Gazans on Monday

IHL rule 54 bans "destroying objects indispensable to the survival of civilians" and rule 50 bans destroying property if not militarily necessary. Torching water infrastructure violates both. A clear and gratuitous war crime. https://t.co/q1by0Ea0E6

Update: Today, a team from the Gaza water utility managed to access the site and document the destruction left by Israeli forces last week. They sent me the following images. The soldiers left the name of their unit on the burned facility “Spearhead Unit, 90th Battalion”

Israel is blocking teams and equipment from Gaza needed to recover its own hostages’ remains from the rubble. At the same time, Israel is restricting aid from entering Gaza in violation of the ceasefire terms, which also expressly provide for coordination on recovery of remains.
🇹🇷 Breaking: Israeli outlet i24NEWS reports that Israel has barred an 80-person Turkish delegation with heavy equipment from entering Gaza. Israeli officials claim Hamas could “immediately” release more captives without outside help and that there’s no need for Turkish aid

Trump is threatening to strike Venezuela and even put US troops on the ground. Most Americans oppose overthrowing Venezuela’s leaders by force—and an even larger majority oppose invading. Congress must make clear that Trump has no authorization to use the military in Venezuela.

The "flow of drugs" is not an armed attack triggering the right of self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. There is no armed conflict, so the law of armed conflict does not apply. These are just murders.

Israel is violating the Gaza ceasefire by continuing to restrict vital humanitarian aid and killing civilians. U.S. advisors and the Red Cross confirm that retrieving the remains of deceased hostages from under the rubble is difficult and will take time. https://t.co/AjoAcgC67Q

Yes. Trump imagines himself as the next Nobel Peace Prize winner, but is marching toward a war that most Americans oppose. Lawmakers must make clear that Trump does not have the American people’s support or Congress’ authorization for the use of military force against Venezuela.
Lot going on but I really think this isn't getting the attention it deserves. It really does seem like Trump is ramping up regime change in Venezuela.

The problems we face are big — so our solutions have to be, too. No more nibbling around the edges. It’s time for change.

I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them. The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations.

Trump said in Israel he wants peace with Iran, but the policy signals point toward doubling down pressure, not reconciliation. As I told the @guardian, that equation risks yet more rounds of dangerous escalation between Tehran, Washington & Tel Aviv. https://t.co/akViMlNYJQ

“I struggle to see the geopolitical strategy here. Argentina isn’t a top trade partner of the US, doesn’t send a lot of migrants its way, and isn’t a pass-through country…This is Trump picking favorites with individual leaders who share his ideology and kiss his ass”—@MPaarlberg

It’s good that Trump’s advisors think so, because his own envoy signed a deal that expressly addresses the fact that Hamas may be unable to quickly locate or return the remains of deceased hostages not in its possession. Meanwhile Israel is violating the deal by restricting aid.
🚨Two advisers to President Trump told reporters they don't think Hamas has violated the agreement yet regarding the bodies of the hostages. They said there is no heavy equipment in Gaza that is needed for such a search effort. "It's almost impossible for Hamas to reach all the

Also a reminder that the rule of law is no longer a given in the United States of MAGA.
Reminder that it's a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House (and all Secretaries but the AG) to order the IRS to target people. It's not just a crime to DO it, it's a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such order to the Treasury Inspector General.
