Israel’s security cabinet voted Friday to expand the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in Rafah, albeit on a limited scale, and to continue talks with mediators in Egypt in the hope of reaching a hostage release deal with Hamas. The vote was interpreted as a rebuke of the Biden administration, in the wake of this week’s admission by the president that the U.S. is withholding bombs and artillery from Israel in protest of its decision to attack Hamas in Rafah. The security cabinet is one level above the war cabinet, which deals with more immediate military decisions.

What “talks”? What’s being directed at Israel are lectures, demands, and threats.
Gotta get Jared Kushner’s condos and resorts built.
“to expand the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in Rafah, albeit on a limited scale,“
“Limited scale”, they need to quit screwing around and get this done before the window closes and it’s closing fast.
I never thought your extremism stretched towards the side of Hamas and other islamist terror groups. Apparently I was wrong. :-(
Israel’s security cabinet voted Friday to expand the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) operation in Rafah....
Oh but, Bibi bad man...because of the children of guhzuh.
never mind that Dany Gantz and 92% of Israel agree with this.
This would happen without Bibi....
Huh?
Yes talks are good. They help with triangulation.
Let’s hope the politicians will let the IDF finish the job now!
flush out Gaza! hire Hercules from the Aegean Stables
I have to ask, what are they waiting on? The leftist loons aren’t going to change their minds about it, JUST GET IT OVER WITH. Stop talking about it day after day after day.
Whatever President Retard says - do the opposite
Jared Kushner is on record stating that he wants to see Gaza destroyed so he can build condos and resorts there.
Also Gaza is sitting on trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, and Israel wants to build the Ben Gurion Canal to displace the Suez Canal.
Open your eyes, my friend. The people that you worship and think they're on your side are not.
Also my non-support of Israel doesn’t mean I support Hamas or the Muslims.
Too many neo-Nazis posting; they hate Israel with a demonic hatred
Only about 3
The gas field off the coast of Gaza contains less than 5% of Israel's reserves (ca 35 bn cm compared to more than 800 bn cm). Israel has been reluctant to allow development of the fields, but on June 18, 2023, Israel reversed its position, giving its preliminary consent to an agreement to develop the Gaza Marine between the PA and an Egyptian consortium, which includes the Egyptian state gas company EGAS. The important point to note here is that the owners of the field (according to the Oslo accords and the recent agreement) is the PA and not Hamas!
It goes against all logic that after 20 years of objection, Israel finally approved the development of the field, only to bomb Gaza four months later to take it over. It is more likely that this played a part in Hamas’s decision to attack Israel, since the agreement would make it harder in the long run for their leaders to extract wealth out of the economic aid pouring into Gaza.
As for the Ben Gurion canal it is an old US idea that lacks all economic feasibility. And given the developments in Yemen it is of no geopolitical use, since the choke-point is not the Suez Canal, but the outlet from the Red Sea. A possible rail line between Israeli and Saudi harbours is a much more rational project.
It is interesting that both “ideas” have been promoted on the net by the same persons: Hacen Soli, an Egyptian dentist, Egyptian MP Mustafa Bakri, CJ Werleman, an Australian Youtuber, and Richard Medhurst, who presents himself as a Syrian-British journalist; all denizens of the anti-semitic fever swamps. You may or may not be aware of this, but as the saying goes, go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.
