Parents hope for US deal to release son from Hamas
Reuters Videos3 hours agoSTORY: Parents of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin - kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7th attack - told Reuters on Monday that they support any measures necessary for his release. They spoke as NBC News reported that U.S. officials are considering negotiating a unilateral deal with Hamas militants to secure the release of five American hostages held in Gaza. "We hear rumors today that the United States is negotiating something or might. I would not be surprised if either at the same time or soon thereafter we hear about Germany and Argentina and so many of the other countries whose citizens are also being held. Whatever it takes to get everybody home we support." Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin, have been campaigning for their son's release, along with the release of 120 others still held in Gaza, after over 100 hostages were released in a deal in November last year and 7 more were rescued in Israeli army operations. In the latest such operation on Saturday (June 8), Israeli forces were able to rescue four hostages from a densely populated area in Gaza. Hamas says over 200 Palestinians were killed during the operation. The Polins spoke to Reuters in Jersualem about the moment that news broke about that rescue. "It was just so miraculous and we were so excited. You know, we know two of those families fairly well through the last eight months. And every hostage is a win. It's a celebration of life. And we were relieved for them to be reunited, especially we knew Noa Argamini's mom was in such dire condition and we've been praying for her to be able to see her daughter. So we were elated." She added more needed to be done: "120 people to still be in captivity is absolutely unacceptable. And I think that the leaders have to put politics aside and egos aside and do the right thing by these people and by all the people who are suffering in the region. The United States says Hamas is holding five Americans who were taken hostage in the group's deadly Oct. 7 incursion inside Israel. Officials are hoping to recover the bodies of three other Americans who were killed that day, NBC reported. Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, a response to the incursion, has killed 37,000 people, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory. When asked about the NBC report while he was leaving Cairo, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the latest U.S. proposal for a ceasefire deal was quote, "the most effective way to get everyone home."

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday shuttled between Cairo and Jerusalem pushing a proposed truce in Gaza. Blinken met first with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Afterward, he told reporters that the greatest obstacle in reaching a ceasefire was that Hamas had yet to accept the terms of a deal outlined by U.S. President Joe Biden last month. "So, the only party that has not accepted, the only party that has not said yes, is Hamas. That’s who everyone is waiting on. That’s who the Palestinians in Gaza are waiting on. It’s who the Israelis are waiting on. It’s who the hostage and the hostages' families are waiting on." Blinken then flew to Israel, where he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In a statement, Netanyahu said his country remained "committed to total victory." A Hamas official told Reuters on Monday that Blinken's comments were biased toward Israel. :: Released October 7, 2023 The war has now entered its ninth month, since Hamas-led fighters killed 1,200 people and took some 250 others hostage in a rampage through southern Israel.

- 2:30Gaza war shatters haj pilgrimage dream for coupleReuters VideosSTORY: Palestinian couple Mahmoud and Fatima Jarghoun have sold their jewelry so they could perform the haj pilgrimage to Mecca. They have been yearning to make the journey for years. But with no way out of the Gaza Strip, their dream of getting to Saudi Arabia has been shattered. “They even want to deny us our worship, they even want to deny us the haj. I don’t know who we should complain to or cry to or speak to. Who should we go to? We ask God to relieve us (of this situation) and for them to open the border.” Jarghoun said the deep disappointment of being unable to make the pilgrimage had compounded the pain inflicted by the war. His home in Khan Younis has been destroyed. He estimates the repair would cost some $20,000. The haj is one of the five basic obligations of a Muslim and every believer who has the means should perform the pilgrimage at least once in his or her lifetime. It begins on Friday (June 14). Pilgrims are already piling into Mecca for the occasion. Some of them, like Alia Asmaa, say they hope to see a ceasefire deal. "Our prayers are with Gaza and it is very sad to see people dying everyday so my wish for Gaza is that this war will end very soon." Palestinians typically wait years for their turn after registering their names with the Palestinian authorities. The couple said they had been waiting almost 18 years. “Every year, we wait to go to haj and it doesn’t happen. I sold my jewelry and all that is in my possession because we had a debt due to the house that we built, we could not otherwise register. After our names came through, the war happened, and all our hope was lost. We were very happy that our name came through and we were going to go. At the end, all our dreams were gone. We were very, very upset.” :: Beeri, Israel Israel has besieged and laid waste to much of the Gaza Strip since launching an offensive in retaliation for the October 7 Hamas-led attack.

- 2:21Israeli centrist minister Gantz quits Netanyahu governmentReuters VideosSTORY: Israeli minister Benny Gantz quit his country's emergency coalition government on Sunday... leaving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu without a centrist power in his government. In a televised news conference, Gantz said Netanyahu is (quote) "preventing us from advancing toward true victory," and that politics was clouding fateful strategic decisions in his cabinet. He added that stepping down while hostages were still in Gaza and soldiers were still fighting there was an excruciating decision. A former general, Gantz had joined Netanyahu's inner war cabinet soon after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas, where he, the prime minister and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant were the only voting members. "I was very privileged together with my friends to bring to the Cabinet Room all the experience we have. I know that the other people are staying mainly Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister himself. They know what should be done. Hopefully they will stick to what should be done and then it will be okay." Gantz last month had presented Netanyahu with a June 8 deadline to come up with a clear postwar strategy for Gaza. Netanyahu brushed off the ultimatum soon after it was given. While the departure of Gantz's centrist party will not pose an immediate threat to Israel's government, it could have a serious impact. It leaves Netanyahu reliant on hardliners, with no end in sight to the Gaza war and a possible escalation in fighting with Lebanese Hezbollah. This would likely increase strains already apparent in relations with the U.S. and intensify public pressure at home, with the war still not achieving its stated goals - the destruction of Hamas and the return of more than 100 remaining hostages held in Gaza. After announcing his resignation, Gantz urged Netanyahu to agree on an election date in the fall, to avoid further political infighting at a time of national emergency. Polls have shown Gantz to be the most formidable political rival to the prime minister. Netanyahu responded to Gantz's resignation in a social media post, telling him it was no time to abandon the battlefront.1 day ago

That is why we are leaving the emergency government today, with a heavy heart but with full confidence." :: June 9, 2024 :: Ramat Gan, Israel (Gantz) "I was very privileged together with my friends to bring to the Cabinet Room all the experience we have. I know that the other people are staying mainly Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister himself. They know what should be done. Hopefully they will stick to what should be done. Then it will be okay." Netanyahu issued a brief statement calling on Gantz not to "abandon the front," but his departure will not endanger the parliamentary majority of 64 seats in the 120-seat Knesset held by the ruling right-wing coalition. Gantz's resignation had been expected ever since he presented the conservative prime minister with a June 8 deadline to come up with a clear day-after strategy for Gaza, where Israel has been pressing a devastating military offensive against the ruling Palestinian militant group Hamas. His departure means that Netanyahu will lose the backing of a centrist bloc that has helped broaden support for the government in Israel and abroad, at a time of increasing diplomatic and domestic pressure eight months into the Gaza war.2 days ago
