Hamas will likely be cemented back in control of the half of Gaza it has access to within days.
The al-Majayda family in Gaza, which had been clashing with Hamas for the past two weeks, has announced it will disarm and hand over its weapons to Hamas.

Eric Cheyfitz is retiring from Cornell. After asking an Israeli student to withdraw from his course on Gaza, he “faced a two-semester suspension without pay after an investigation found he violated federal anti-discrimination law.”

Credit where it's due to @GavinNewsom and shame on the California legislature for passing this.
Update: VETOED. Today, Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed SB 771, a bill that would have had a profound chilling effect over online expression. We are grateful that the governor chose to protect free speech instead of setting California on the path to a losing battle against the First

This is so horrifying. Hamas is purely evil. It will be a profound shame if it retains control of even one square inch of Gaza.

Many Senate candidates have pledged to serve only two terms (& often violated that pledge after being elected). But a one-term pledge seems to be unprecedented. https://t.co/Yf4x6yjavd
New: Janet Mills tells @bridgetbhc she only plans to serve one term if elected to the Senate. She'd be 79 when sworn in

Looking forward to DSA's mayoral candidate taking power in NYC
🚨 The Democratic Socialists of America’s new statement, “Until Palestinian Liberation,” is one of the most extreme responses to the ceasefire. Instead of welcoming a pause in fighting, DSA treats the truce as meaningless, says “DSA harbors no illusions that Israel will honor

“Who have finally had a reprieve from 2 years of brutal, deadly war.” A reprieve that was always available to them if they’d returned the hostages and surrendered. That’s how wars work.
Earlier live on air, I spoke about what a day of real joy this is, for Israeli families whose loved ones are finally being returned from two years of horrific Hamas captivity, and for civilians in Gaza, who have finally had a reprieve from two years of brutal, deadly war. I

Will there be campus protests over this?
BREAKING: Hamas militias have just executed 7 people in public—accused of “collaboration”—and forced residents to watch.

Just to be clear, the "State of Palestine" considers even the most heinous murderers in Israeli prisoner, responsible for directed or participating in the brutal murder of civilians, to be "unlawful captives?" This is the "state" that the UK, Canada, and Australia just
1968 captives freed. 77 killed by Israel in Israeli detention centers over the past two years. Over 10,000 remain unlawfully held captive. 360 children remain behind bars.

CNN’s Christine Amanpour: “The Israeli hostages have probably been treated better than the average Gazan because they are the pawns & chips that Hamas had.” Evyatar David was quite literally forced to dig his own grave. Absolutely unacceptable from CNN. https://t.co/ji5ShHpeOG

These executions have been a daily thing since the ceasefire was announced. The violence in Gaza hasn’t stopped. Many in the media just stopped reporting on it because Israel isn’t involved.

Convicted murderers serving life terms are not “hostages.” Yet the @nytimes can't help itself in a parting shot of vile reporting by calling this an “exchange of hostages.” That is not sloppy wording, it is willful inversion of reality, whitewashing terror and smearing Israel.

It is great news that all living hostages in Gaza have finally been reunited with their loved ones after two long years. With this integral stage complete, I hope that Hamas will continue the process of disarming, relinquishing any claim to governance and charting a real path

The problems with the "Israel could have had this deal long ago" takes are: (1) Hamas wanted to retain hostages in previous deals and (2) deterrence and degradation of capabilities against another 10/7.

Just as police accused me of being “quite openly Jewish” a year ago, police are now accusing non-Jews of being “inflammatory” and “provocative” by holding signs saying “We stand with Britain’s Jews”. These protests and the police response could not be more transparent. The
