🔵 REPORT: Palestinian factions are expected to meet in Cairo later this week to discuss Gaza governance and the second phase of the ceasefire, after the talks were postponed twice without a final date, Ultra Palestine reported. The meeting centers on the proposal to transfer administration of Gaza to a temporary technocratic committee made up of independent figures, a step mediators see as key to unlocking phase two of the agreement. Below are some additional details: 1. Sources told the outlet that Egypt is coordinating closely with Qatar and the United States and wants consensus on the committee’s membership before the meeting. Proposed names were submitted earlier but remain under discussion among factions and mediators. A clear agenda is expected for the Palestinian factions’ meeting, focused on phase two of the ceasefire, the Gaza technocratic administration committee, and management of the Rafah crossing. 2. In parallel, a Palestinian Authority delegation led by Hussein al-Sheikh, deputy to President Mahmoud Abbas, alongside intelligence chief Majed Faraj, met in Cairo earlier this month with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati and General Intelligence Director Hassan Rashad. Those talks addressed Gaza governance arrangements, the creation of an oversight “Board of Peace,” and control of the Rafah crossing.

3. As in previous rounds, Fatah is reportedly not participating in the factions’ meeting, according to sources, due to political differences with Hamas, particularly over the issue of resistance weapons. 4. The delays are described as Egyptian logistical and political preparations, not obstruction by the factions. Hamas is expected to send a delegation to Cairo within 48 hours, with spokesperson Hazem Qassem reiterating the movement’s readiness to dissolve current governing bodies in Gaza and hand authority to a technocratic committee.

🟣 Jewish Voice for Peace on protests outside a New York City synagogue over the sale of stolen Palestinian land, which several elected officials labeled “antisemitic”: “When people protest against sales of stolen Palestinian land, elected officials and far too many Jewish institutions rush to decry the demonstrations. But this outrage obscures the real questions… We vehemently oppose illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land, wherever they take place. Every Palestinian has the right to return home.”

Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive As Jews, we strongly object to the use of synagogues to enable the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes. That events supporting the theft of Palestinian land, in full violation of international law, are occurring at all is unconscionable. That they are occurring in our sacred spaces is a moral failure of epic proportions.

When people protest against sales of stolen Palestinian land, elected officials and far too many Jewish institutions rush to decry the demonstrations. But this outrage obscures the real questions: Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive · 11h Why is Palestinian land being stolen and sold? And why is it sold inside our synagogues and temples? Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive · 11h Our Jewish tradition teaches us that we cannot stand idly by when we see injustice. We cannot stand idly by when the Israeli government commits genocide in Gaza. We cannot stand idly by when Israeli settler violence against Palestinian families surges across the occupied West Bank. Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive · 11h We vehemently oppose illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land, wherever they take place. Every Palestinian has the right to return home.

Since it started in January 2025, the Israeli forces' “Iron Wall” operation has caused massive destruction, and large-scale, forced displacement in the occupied #WestBank.

This is putting thousands of #Palestine Refugees in a cycle of forced displacement, trauma and economic hardship.

It must stop

Every day in #Gaza, people urgently need humanitarian aid.

Every day they face the cold.

Every day they are living in make-shift shelters.

Every day they have nowhere else to go.

Every day UNRWA’s aid remains outside Gaza - blocked from entering.

Today, all restrictions on aid must be lifted.

The U.S. empire has been on a decades-long warpath culminating with the extermination of the Palestinian people and this week’s assault on Venezuela.

In the past week, the Trump-Vance admin:
–Bombed Nigeria
–Bombed Venezuela, abducted its leader
–Bombed more ships in the middle of the ocean
–Threatened military action in Iran, Colombia, and Cuba
–Accepted the “Israel Prize” & hosted Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago (despite his soldiers killing Americans)

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

A Reuters investigation details how Israel used repurposed M113 armored personnel carriers packed with 1–3 tons of explosives as ground-based truck bombs in Gaza City in the weeks before the October 10 ceasefire. As Israeli forces advanced into central Gaza City, these APC bombs, alongside airstrikes and bulldozers, flattened dense residential neighborhoods like Tel al-Hawa and Sabra. Satellite imagery shows at least 650 buildings destroyed in six weeks. Residents described blasts that felt like earthquakes, with no warning in some cases. Military experts told Reuters the explosions rivaled Israel’s largest U.S.-supplied aerial bombs, the 2000-pounders, sending debris hundreds of meters and collapsing multi-storey buildings. The use of APCs as bombs is highly unusual and risks indiscriminate damage in urban areas, the experts said. Israeli officials said the tactic was needed to counter alleged Hamas booby traps and was guided by military necessity. Hamas denied booby-trapping buildings at scale. UN officials and international law scholars warned that deploying multi-ton explosives in residential areas may violate humanitarian law and could amount to wanton destruction, a potential war crime.

A Bluesky user based in Venezuela posted 'I live near a military air base and five earth-shaking explosions were just heart.' User @thenordic.bsky.social (a random asshole) replied 'was it too hard for you to to [sic] add a link?' along with a link to an AP piece. Quick, don't look, what do you think the odds are that this user responded gracefully to being told that OP was on the ground and reporting firsthand?

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

maduro was open to talks and in response we bombed the capital, kidnapped him and his wife, and now we’re about to set up an imperial outpost and start stealing all their oil. we are the bad guys. we have always been the bad guys.

🚨 STATEMENT

“Plaid Gomiwnyddol Cymru (the Communist Party of Wales) condemns the criminal attack launched by the United States of America against the sovereign Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the early hours of Saturday the 3rd of January.”

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.

This is a fact.

No one will ever be able to refute it."

US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

Trump: "All the way back it dated to the Monroe Doctrines. And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it."

Incredible. The Trump-Vance admin just posted a video promoting their bombing of Venezuela.

…And it is set to the song “Fortunate Son” — which is explicitly about the rich and powerful starting wars under the flag of hollow patriotism, and then making the rest of America pay the consequences.

One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
