Footage shared with Drop Site shows refrigerated trucks and ICRC vehicles waiting at the Kissufim crossing to transport what are believed to be the bodies of dozens of Palestinians to Gaza. The current deal states that Israel will return 15 bodies of Palestinians for each deceased Israeli captive. Estimates of the number of bodies of deceased Palestinians that Israel is currently holding range from 600-720+.

In his exposé on Bari Weiss’s appointment as CBS News editor-in-chief, John Oliver singled out The Free Press’s Gaza famine report as a prime example of sloppy, agenda-driven journalism. Weiss’s outlet called the famine a myth and claimed the children had preexisting illnesses. ➤ Journalist Maha Hussaini, reporting from Gaza, and Ryan Grim investigated those same cases for Drop Site News—tracking down families and medical records. Their reporting shows it was starvation, not illness, that emaciated the children Weiss’s site used to deny famine. 🔗 Drop Site’s full report: “The Free Press Called Out “Incomplete” Reporting on Gaza’s Starving Children. Here’s the Complete Story” is linked below. @npub1puer...phtn | @Ryan Grim | @npub14xw9...xw86

In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again that Israeli soldiers had killed his entire family – a form of psychological torture, he said, meant to break him. But when he walked up the stairs of his Gaza home today, his wife rushed into his arms, his children and parents

🚨BREAKING: A source close to the Palestinian negotiating team tells Drop Site the agreement includes “a permanent end to the war to be announced by Trump.” He acknowledged the deal is problematic, but it contains some terms that Hamas and other Palestinian factions pushed for in their response to Trump, including deferring major issues that would alter the future of Gaza and Palestine itself. “No surrender, no disarming, no mass exile, but most of all a permanent end to the war to be announced by Trump,” he noted.

BREAKING: Hamas and Palestinian Factions Agree to Gaza Ceasefire Framework

“From our side, yes,” a senior Hamas official told Drop Site News.

🟢 “I want to tell you a story that was shared with me by the chief Egyptian negotiator,” Senior Hamas leader Abu Marzouk told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill. Maj. Gen. Ahmed Abdel Khaleq asked his Israeli intelligence counterpart whether he understood the maps attached to Trump’s Gaza proposal. Marzouk said the Israeli replied, “‘No.’ Why? Because this map has no meaning. It is hand-drawn, with no spaces, distances, locations, or anything,” Marzouk said. “While in previous discussions, the text was clear… these maps were drawn by people who are used to camel races. They don’t know the basics of map-making.” Marzouk said “the first point now must be to define the maps… neither the Israelis nor the Egyptians understood the maps at all.”

🚨 Senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk told Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill that while “the area of withdrawal may be a matter of debate,” it would be “impossible to have a prisoner exchange” while Israeli forces remain in Gaza’s population centers. “We don’t know exactly where the prisoners are. Even the negotiators in the current dialogues do not know their locations,” he said. “Therefore, they must withdraw from populated areas. There cannot be an exchange [if the forces remain].” He added that if soldiers don’t withdraw from highly populated residential areas, “it would mean that Israel does not want Trump’s plan to be implemented.” Marzouk said “the first point now must be to define the maps… this will be the main obstacle.”
