It seems Israel successfully convinced the US, at least for now, to block more intimate Turkish involvement in the plans for the "International Stabilization Force" to be deployed to Gaza at some hypothetical point in 2026.
However, most countries do not want to contribute without Turkey.

Whenever people want to justify the de facto single state reality of the occupied Palestinian territory I just show them maps like this and ask them what it means

Little bonus from the filing. The second paragraph here takes a general claim about VPN use in Florida and imagines everyone’s using it to watch the BBC.
But the first paragraph is missing something: notice it has absolutely no supporting reference. They’re just claiming it, sans evidence.

Every year I am mystified by the people who believe that sending a "Seasons Greetings" email to everyone on your address list is remotely comparable to sending cards.
Christmas cards are a pleasure to receive: a sign somebody thought of you. And decorative.
Group emails? Just an irritation.

I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Israel does not believe any other country in the region has any right to sovereignty, or borders, or airspace, or protection from the Israeli military. Israel's posture, aka Israel's illegal occupation of Syrian territory and its repeat attacks towards Syria, is entirely consistent with this.
