EXCLUSIVE: Inside #Trump’s New Gaza "Ceasefire" Proposal

Drop Site obtained the “term sheet” circulated by Steve Witkoff. It would allow Israel to resume war after 60 days.

"A new proposal for a #Gaza ceasefire spearheaded by #DonaldTrump’s special envoy, #SteveWitkoff, includes a 60-day initial truce, a “redeployment” of some #Israeli occupation forces, and an exchange of captives, including ten living Israelis held in Gaza. It would also require the “immediate” delivery of humanitarian aid, including by the #UnitedNations and the #RedCrescent."

🧵3/3: This is where we are at: I am watching all the #Palestinians I follow on social media get arrested, bombed, starved and killed. One by one, straight up dying, their feed forever suspended, decorated with reams of watermelon emojis, #Palestinian flags, RIPs and godisgreats. Athletes, musicians, activists, journalists, colleagues (#RedCrescent), and children, so many children, all dying in a deafening international silence, bar that headsplitting #drone noise that never stops.

"The Palestine Red Crescent says the army's probe justifies the killings of emergency workers and shifts the responsibility to a personal error"
So the IOF conducted an investigation into the massacre of 15 Red Crescent workers. They were executed.
The IOF "claimed no evidence of "indiscriminate fire" by troops"
It's like Hannibal Lecter investigating his own actions..

#Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, #RedCrescent says

PRCS calls for international investigation after postmortem results add to evidence contradicting Israel’s account

"The results of the postmortems join a growing body of evidence that sharply contradicts #Israel’s account of the incident, including video footage that shows the vehicles were travelling with headlights and flashing red lights that identified them, with personnel wearing hi-vis vests, at the time they were fired on."

The Guardian · Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent saysBy Peter Beaumont

"#Israel's army has admitted its soldiers made mistakes".

It is unclear whether the #IDF's mistakes refer to claiming the #RedCrescent vehicles were "advancing without headlights or emergency signals", closing the area of the killing for 7 days, preventing local/international access, concealing the bodies/vehicles in a shallow mass grave using a bulldozer, or missing a mobile phone in there that was later to reveal all the above was a #warcrime

Does anyone have any insight on the statement by the IFRC that Israel's murder attack “represents the single most deadly attack on Red Cross Red Crescent workers anywhere in the world since 2017”? The top search results on attacks on Red Cross Red Crescent workers in 2017 are about attacks in Afghanistan and CAR that each killed 6, so fewer than in Gaza, where 8 of the victims were Red Cross Red Crescent?

EDIT:
It's probably a reference to the attack in CAR after all. The report I first found mentooned six killed, but the Aid Worker Security Database lists ten.

“I raised my children to love goodness and to do good deeds,” Sobhi said. “We had a principle in our home: do good without expecting thanks or praise. Mohammad [Bahloul] lived by this principle.

“We never expected this to happen – not even in our worst nightmares,” Sobhi added. “They went to save lives, only to become victims themselves.”

The #Gaza paramedic killings: a visual timeline

23 March
At 4.20am, a Red Crescent ambulance on its way to collect people injured by an airstrike in #Rafah comes under Israeli fire in Hashashin. Two paramedics are killed.
A survivor, Munther Abed, is detained and interrogated. A few hours later, a convoy including ambulances, a fire truck, health ministry vehicles and a #UN car is dispatched to recover the bodies of the two paramedics. It also comes under fire. Two #health ministry vehicles drive away but contact is lost with the rest of the convoy. Two ambulances sent from Rafah also disappear.

30 March
Ocha officials and Red Crescent workers return to the site and find the bodies of eight #RedCrescent workers, the five other civil defence responders and one UN staff member buried in a mass grave. A ninth Red Crescent worker remains unaccounted for.
