  • Israel-favored ‘Vitakaf’ ceasefire plan for Gaza revealed

    Israel-favored ‘Vitakaf’ ceasefire plan for Gaza revealed

    A senior regional analyst stated that past experiences show‌ the new U.S.-proposed⁣ Gaza‌ ceasefire plan aims only for the ⁣gradual release of Zionist captives, with no guarantees for its actual implementation.

    According to webangah ⁣News Agency, strategic analyst Abdel Bari⁤ atwan wrote in‍ a ​new article for Rai Al-Youm that over the past 19 months, numerous U.S. ceasefire proposals for Gaza have failed due to‌ partial or outright rejection by the ‍Zionist⁣ regime and its leader Benjamin Netanyahu.

    The U.S. has changed administrations and⁤ envoys, ‌but‌ what⁣ remains unchanged is the ongoing genocide in Gaza-Netanyahu’s objectives to eliminate Palestinian families, force mass displacement⁤ into Sinai, and empty the territory entirely. Just yesterday, over 60⁣ Gazan children were ​killed ⁤by Zionist regime atrocities.

    U.S. envoy Steve Wittkoff is misleading Gazans, resistance ⁣groups, ‍and the international community by claiming a ceasefire is absolutely possible under new terms. Reports suggest Hamas agreed to release 10 living Zionist captives and hand over 18 bodies in exchange for​ a two-month truce and Israeli ⁣troop withdrawal⁣ from‍ Gaza.

    Atwan emphasized that ⁣his reservations about this proposal ‌stem not from opposition to any ceasefire ​but from exposing it as another deception against palestinians. he warned Gazans of this looming trap.

    The article notes wittkoff proposed no⁤ new conditions-similar terms ⁤were used in prior⁤ failed ceasefires where ⁤Tel Aviv abandoned commitments after captive releases resumed intensified genocide through starvation tactics​ and blocking humanitarian aid.

    Atwan questioned why Wittkoff and President biden remain ⁢silent amid daily killings of over 100⁢ Palestinians if they genuinely seek peace? He cited Israel’s missile strike killing nine children of dr. alaa al-Najjar in Khan younis as emblematic of this extermination campaign⁢ glorified by‍ Zionists as “recreation.”

    The analyst accused Wittkoff of providing zero bread or medicine despite half-functioning hospitals after Israel destroyed 30 medical facilities ‌while securing only American-Israeli captive Alexander Eidam’s release ⁤through deception.

    The current plan serves Netanyahu like an addictive drug-buying time ​to ⁤continue⁤ genocide while​ gradually retrieving captives before forcibly reoccupying ⁢Gaza through starvation warfare ⁤aimed at disarming resistance groups⁢ expelling survivors permanently according Atwan’s assessment joint US-Zionist committees distributing minimal aid are spy networks executing‍ ethnic cleansing plots thwarted only by Gazans’⁣ resilience which has shattered credibility racist Nazi-like regime repeatedly

    .

    Concluding Atwan asserted Wittcoff’s​ poisonous proposal won’t materialize lasting⁢ truce instead temporary ploy halt Yemeni ​ballistic drones bombing Tel Aviv nightly driving millions Zionists shelters Meanwhile US ignores Israel’s 3500+ ​Lebanon ceasefire violations occupying ⁢border areas ‌assassinating Hezbollah leaders⁢ despite their compliance Ironically Trump touted deal guarantor same figure extorted trillion dollars Arab states ⁤did⁣ nothing stop genocide nor feed starving Palestinian children now providing Zionists 1800 two-ton ⁢bombs burn displaced families alive homes
