Biden has backed Harris’s position, according to the Times, while also saying officials should continue to condemn Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... ’s October 7 attacks.
Harris accused Israel of not doing enough to ease the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza in a speech on Sunday that marked a shift in the administration’s rhetoric. She met with war cabinet minister Benny Gantz in Washington on Monday.
According to the paper, Harris’s comments were meant to address complaints from Democrats who oppose US support for Israel in its war against Hamas and to burnish the vice president’s foreign policy credentials to make clear she is a viable replacement for the president if needed.

[IsraelTimes] Over 36,000 meals dropped in northern Gazoo, ’an area of great need,’ US military announces; Biden says US pulling out every stop for more humanitarian assistance in enclave
The United States military, in coordination with Jordan, Egypt and La Belle France, airdropped more than 36,000 meals into northern Gaza on Tuesday — the second such delivery of aid that Washington has led since Saturday, when the US dropped some 38,000 meals in the war-torn Paleostinian enclave.
Airdrops by the US and other countries are aimed at supplementing what officials say is an insufficient supply of aid being brought in by ground to Gaza, where the United Nations

The report I read yesterday said they were dropping US Military MRE's, not the Humanitarian Relief Rations, because they were in a hurry to get aid onto the planes so they used US military meals. Given that Hamas is shown clearly stealing the UN Aid trucks, expect them to also use the airdropped palets of MRE's.

[GEO.TV] Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... negotiators will remain in Cairo for another day at the request of mediators, keeping ceasefire talks going after two days with no breakthrough, an official from the resistance group said on Tuesday.
"The delegation will remain in Cairo on Tuesday for more talks, they are expected to wrap up this round later today," a Hamas official told Rooters.
Egypt's Qahera television also reported the talks had been extended for a third day, but said they were "facing difficulties".
No list of living and dead hostages, no deal. Until Hamas provides that, this is an expensive exercise in onanism.

[GEO.TV] An exchange of Paleostinian prisoners and Israeli hostages in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

Hamdan, speaking at a presser in Beirut, repeated his group's conditions for a deal; an end to Israel's military offensive, a withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, and the return of displaced Paleostinians to homes they have fled in other parts of Gaza.
"In the past two days, the movement presented its position on the proposal put forward by the brotherly Qatari and Egyptian mediators. We reaffirmed our conditions for a ceasefire: a full pullout from the Strip and the return of the displaced from areas they left, in particular in the north," he said.
And Israel did not bother reaffirming their conditions, because you aleady know them.
Until Hamas is ready to actually negotiate in good faith, there’s no reason for Israel to bestir itself in Cairo, when they can motivate Hamas by continuing the war in Gaza.

From my armchair in Las Vegas...
Isn't it plausible the command structure is so pulverized they actually dont know the status and whereabouts of hostages?
And still no word from Sinwar or was there contact?
[IsraelTimes] Indirect talks on an end to hostilities along the Lebanese-Israeli border will begin during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which starts next week, Lebanon’s caretakerprime minister Najib Mikati says.
So the caretaker government of Lebanon is talking to …
tells local broadcaster Al Jadeed that Lebanese officials were studying a verbal proposal suggested by US envoy Amos Hochstein,
…some American official, who is talking to…
who was in Beirut on Monday to push a diplomatic solution to exchanges of fire between the powerful Lebanese armed party Hezbollah and Israel.
Since October 8, Hezbollah forces have attacked Israeli communities and military posts along the northern border with rockets, missiles and drones on a near-daily basis, with the group saying it is doing so to support Gaza amid the war there.
So far, the skirmishes on the border have resulted in seven civilian deaths on the Israeli side, as well as the deaths of 10 IDF soldiers and reservists.
Hezbollah has named 232 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon, but some also in Syria.
In Lebanon, another 37 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 30 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.
…it looks like nobody is talking to Israel about the thing they want her to agree to.
[IsraelTimes] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... executed a "staggering" total of at least 834 people last year, the highest number since 2015 as capital punishment surged in the Islamic republic, two rights groups say in a new report.
The number of executions, which Iran has carried out by hanging in recent years, was up some 43 percent over 2022.
It marked only the second time in two decades that over 800 executions were recorded in a year, after 972 executions in 2015, Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Gay Paree-based Together Against the Death Penalty say in the joint report.
The groups accuse Iran of using the death penalty to spread fear throughout society in the wake of the protests sparked by the September 2022 death in police custody of Mahsa Amini that shook the authorities.
"Instilling societal fear is the regime’s only way to hold on to power, and the death penalty is its most important instrument," says IHR director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam in the report, which describes the figure of 834 as a "staggering total."
Iran has executed nine men in cases linked to attacks on security forces during the 2022 protests —- two in 2022, six in 2023 and one so far in 2024 -— according to the rights groups.
But executions have been stepped up on other charges, notably in drug-related cases, which had until recent years seen a fall.
ECPM director Raphael Chenuil-Hazan says the "lack of reaction" by the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... Office on Drugs and Crime is sending "the wrong signal to the Iranian authorities".
Amiry-Moghaddam expresses concern that a lack of international outrage at the executions, in particular with attention focused on the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

"The inconsistency in the international community’s reaction to the executions in Iran is unfortunate and sends the wrong signal to the authorities," he says.
