New Gaza Ceasefire Proposal Contains “Red Lines” for Hamas on Continued Israeli Occupation and Disarmament

Drop Site obtained the draft of a deal currently being pushed by the U.S., #Egypt, and #Qatar. Hamas insists it will not capitulate to #Netanyahu’s new demands.

"It is on this point—the conditions for a permanent ceasefire—that #Hamas and Israel stand in complete opposition to each other. The current draft effectively asks Hamas to agree to continued military occupation of #Gaza and disarmament."

Israeli Policies and Settler Violence Are Driving Palestinians from the #JordanValley

In the occupied #WestBank, Israeli restrictions on movement for #Palestinians, denial of access to resources, and settlement expansion have all ramped up over the past 18 months.

'"We live in constant anxiety, day and night, due to #settler attacks," Bsharat told Drop Site. His family of 12 relies primarily on their flock of sheep for a living. In recent months, they have been repeatedly threatened by #Israeli settlers, who warn they will be shot if they cross onto the nearby land. "They raid our communities with tractors, provoke residents, and prevent us from accessing grazing areas. The army and settlers have seized the land for settler cattle farms."'

Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-#Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram

Apr 11, 2025

"A sweeping crackdown on posts on #Instagram and #Facebook that are critical of #Israel—or even vaguely supportive of #Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that #Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far, and #Meta has followed suit—widening the net of posts it automatically removes, and creating what can be called the largest mass #censorship operation in modern history."

Hamas Launches Unprecedented Legal Case in Britain, Demanding the Government Remove its Terror Designation (Drop Site News, 2025-04-09)

https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/hamas-terrorism-uk-marzouk
———

“In an extraordinary legal filing submitted Wednesday in London, Hamas argued that the British government should remove its designation of the movement as a proscribed terror group and recognize its legitimate role as a Palestinian resistance movement engaged in a struggle for self-determination and liberation. “

“Hamas enlisted a team of British lawyers to represent its appeal to the British Home Secretary and to challenge the movement’s terror designation, which went into effect in 2021…”

“In a document provided to Drop Site News, summarizing their legal arguments, Hamas’s legal team noted that it represents the group pro bono, because accepting payment would be illegal under British law.”

"DEIR AL-BALAH, GAZA—Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah is a place of concentrated horror and suffering. There is not a moment of tranquility here. A constant stream of ambulances rush in loaded with casualties—mostly crushed and charred bodies and dismembered children. The wards echo with the screams of mothers. Sobbing toddlers wander the halls looking for family members. Funeral prayers are held every hour, barely keeping up with the rising number of dead."

"Amid what the United Nations has described as a “concerted policy to destroy #Gaza’s healthcare system,” the #RedCross and #RedCrescent said it was the single deadliest attack on their workers anywhere in the world since 2017. Gaza’s Civil Defense, likewise, called it “one of the most heinous massacres” they have witnessed. "

"Days after the closure began, Abadleh tried to get her hands on heparin injections in public hospitals and private pharmacies but found none. "Everyone told me the medicine wasn’t available,” she said. “I asked them, ‘What should I do now? ...

Abadleh’s condition deteriorated, when she began experiencing abdominal cramps. The next day, she woke up to a sharp pain and feared the worst... Her husband rushed her to a private clinic nearby, but it was too late: she had suffered a miscarriage."
