Israel stopping 35 NGOS from working in West Bank or Gaza

It is a ceasefire whether you recognise it or not. Because it is a ceasefire certain things can happen such as the Rafah crossing opening today and the beginning of the reconstruction of parts of Gaza.

There’s you still not accepting phase 1 has occurred while the people who make things happen have moved into phase 2.

Yes the 'it's a war zone, it's not safe for them, they aren't being allowed in to protect them' doesn't ring very true anymore does it, especially because that was being said by the same people who think that the killing of 1 in every 4000 Palestinians is a ceasefire. Why are Israel still preventing foreign journalists and independent observers into Gaza? What is the excuse du jour or is it just whataboutery now?

You too!

Believe what you want to believe 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don’t know what you mean. I’m not the only person starting threads about Iran.

Why on earth should pro palestinians be goaded into getting in to a fight about Iran? They are two separate issues. Or is the issue just that they are Muslim?

Anyway, proved you wrong. I am on that thread. Expect to be deleted soon by the pile on. Wish me luck!

Some of us don’t believe the absolute rubbish that Israel try to get out there.

You may curate your carefully calculated outrage however you wish. It isn’t your place to pressure anyone else to post on your threads.

You keep going on about how Israel should allow independent journalists in but not seen you comment on Iran failing to do so.

Didn’t say much for MSFs vetting process.

And anyway, the two you gave evidence on are dead. Secrets from the grave?

Israel have always proved themselves to be the bastion of truth have they? I think not.

UNRWA have also been subjected to a smear campaign rife with misinformation. No evidence was provided and claims were unsubstantiated. Israel seeks to debilitate the 2 backbones of humanitarian aid at a time when it is needed the most.

Let international journalists in to shift the onus from humanitarian workers to bear witness to what is happening on the ground.

Fair play to you then.

No I’m part of the MN community which means I include myself in the group of people on MN whose views on the matter are irrelevant to the Israel government.

Lol. Whether you do or not is also irrelevant. Or are you in the Israeli government?

Israel have enough information on these individuals that they don't want them working in Gaza, or others like them that may equally slip through the net via MSF.

Whether people on MN believe them or not is irrelevant.

Well as I said before, it’s a lot of he said/she said. We don’t know. Speculating does not help.

Even respected organisations are able to be used as cover... its been seen before. He may, he may not

Not sure if he was a member of PIJ or not. No of us on here know for definite though either way

"Fadi Al-Wadiya was a Palestinian physiotherapist employed by the international medical humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) / Doctors Without Borders. He was killed in an Israeli drone strike in Gaza City on June 25, 2024, while on his way to work.
Member of PIJ? The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli Foreign Ministry identified Al-Wadiya as a senior operative in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist organization. According to Israeli officials, he was a key figure in the group's rocket and missile array for over 15 years, contributing his expertise in electronics and chemistry to enhance their capabilities. The IDF released photos appearing to show him in a PIJ uniform.
MSF Employment: MSF confirmed that Al-Wadiya was a staff member (physiotherapist) who had worked with them since 2018. In response to the allegations, MSF stated they had no prior knowledge of his involvement in military activities and that they were "taking these allegations very seriously".
Context: While Israel accused him of using his position as a cover for terrorism, MSF condemned the killing of their colleague, noting he was one of several people killed in the strike."

And how likely is that going to happen? Zero to none I’d say.

I know who I trust more. A respected international aid organization like MSF, who have been doing this job, worldwide for over 50 years, in world wide conflicts, or X? Tricky.

Reproduced from X so until collaborated, it's a claim so we have to wait and see. The IDF claim he was, not sure of their source for that information. As always it needs investigation.

Oh it’s from X. Must be true then…..
