Middle East 'extreme boiling' after Anglican Canterbury-owned Hospital in Gaza Blew Up by Israel, 1,000 - 2,000 Palestinian Killed Immediately
DC and Detroit 7.41pm Oct 17th / Jerusalem - Gaza Strip - Tel Aviv 2.41am Oct 18th / London 0.41am Oct 18th [260 hours of war, still continue] BREAKING NEWS live update trilingual [hebrew - arabic - english] click here
Hananya is Israel government spokesperson
Biden boards from JB Andrew 6.27pm DC [1.27 am - Oct 18 Gaza time / Tel Aviv time] to Ben Gurion Airport Tel Aviv, with estimated 12 hours flying [also 7 hours different time zones]. Jordan cancels summit between Biden, King Abdullah, President Sisi and President Abbas planned for tomorrow in Amman, as response heinous Israel, bombing hospital. Horrible, but not unexpected under the circumstances. Lots of U.S. damage control to do, Israel trip in serious doubt.
This may have serious consequences for everyone involved. Just tragic. Entire Middle East and Great Maghrebi - North Africa now unity behind Palestine. Just reminder Belt and Road Forum in Beijing, as of now in Beijing already 7.30am local time, expected angry statement 2 - 2.5 hours from now not only President of China Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin or Jokowi [Joko Widodo], as Indonesia to be biggest muslim - majority country on earth. Maybe all members of Belt and Road Forum.

US Embassy compound in Beirut, arguably 7th biggest US compound [after Baghdad, London, Beijing, Yerevan, Berlin, Moscow] under attack. Multiple cities across middle east and north africa or maghrebi, as of this newsletter writing, are already gigantic protesters. Hundreds of people are driving towards the Korcic base or Kürecik Radar Station in Turkey's Malatya province, where US troops are stationed alongside Incirlik and Izmir.
The genocide apologists are out in force tonight. Having lost the argument – no group in Gaza has a rocket that can flatten a hospital, not even close – they're trying to spin it differently. Supposedly it was still one of Islamic Jihad's paltry home-made rockets but the damage was caused by it hitting an ammo dump – presumably a very large one stored in the middle of the hospital. Even if that sounds like it might be true to you (and it really shouldn't), watch and listen to the missile slam into the hospital at terrifying high speed. That's a very hi-tech armament. Not something Islamic Jihad knocked up in a workshop after watching a YouTube tutorial. There truly are ghouls out there – and they will keep spewing out new bits of disinformation on behalf of Israel's genocidal government. Don't be fooled
Director of Anglican Episcopal Baptist Church hospital / Al Ahli Arab Maamadani Hospital admitted in the last 2 days, the Israeli IDF warned and pushed the entire hospital to evacuate. 7.5 hours ago, blew up, 1,000 - 2,000 killed [as of new tally casualties is 800]. Prior to today's attack on Al Ahli hospital, WHO had documented 57 attacks on health care, resulting in 16 fatalities of health care workers and 28 injuries, damage to 26 hospitals and other healthcare facilities, including 17 hospitals and 23 ambulances.
Again, this hospital is run under the Church of England and Anglican Communion. Means, guarantor of this hospital is [Supreme Governor] King Charles III and [Primate] Archbishop Canterbury Primate Justin Portal Welby.
Israel's room for maneuver on a ground invasion has just shrunk dramatically after heinous, massacre, brutality bombing, Anglican Episcopal Baptist Church hospital / Al Ahli Arab Maamadani Hospital, run by Anglican - The Church of England / Archbishop Canterbury Primate Justin Portal Welby. Not just because it has lost a good deal of international support, but because the region is now boiling.
UAE [United Arab Emirates], Israel's most reliable - trusted Israel partner in the Arab world over the past few years, explicitly blaming Israel for the attack on Ahli hospital and calling for an immediate ceasefire. If UEA is already angry with Israel in an official statement, imagine another country with ‘less trust’ with Israel. Saudi using the same phrase as me, HEINOUS.
We've seen protests in entire Palestine not only Gaza or West Bank, protests in Jordan, crowds gathering outside the American embassy in Lebanon. And the risk of Iranian-backed groups opening other fronts has probably risen markedly.
so far list cities, outside Palestine [already massive protesters angry about heinous Israel - hospital bombing] =
Amman Jordan
Aqaba Jordan
Irbid Jordan
Ankara Turkiye
Istanbul Turkiye
Beirut Lebanon
Rabieh Lebanon
Idlib Syria
Nouakchott Mauritania
Tunis Tunisia
Baghdad Iraq
Taizz Iraq
and counting. Everyone in the region is joining the condemnation.
The White House was already concerned that Israel was embarking on a long, ruinous war without an exit strategy, and that it risked dragging the region into a broader conflict. Both of those concerns have no doubt been amplified over the past few hours.
In last 4 days, the Biden administration has privately been pressing Israel in recent days to flush out what its strategy is for the day after it completes its stated goal of eradicating Hamas in the ongoing Gaza war. Yesterday, Blinken - Netanyahu meeting 8-hours-non stop in bunker, because massive rockets to Tel Aviv, ended around 2.30am Tel Aviv [7.30pm DC —- AGAIN, Tel Aviv as eastern, is 7 hours earlier].
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle have indicated to their Biden counterparts that Israel has not yet come up with such a strategy and instead are more focused on the immediate goal of removing Hamas from power in Gaza.
But the US official cautions against this approach, saying that devoid a strategy for who will control the Strip if and when Hamas is removed, IDF is more likely to get bogged down in Gaza indefinitely, despite Israel insisting that it does not want to re-occupy the enclave. Balanced against all of this is an Israeli public primed for a major war and an Israeli leadership that will not want to appear weak. But the political window for a ground offensive was already shrinking after repeated delays, and the geopolitical calculus has just changed a lot.
Welby].
Türkiye President Erdogan has initiated a negotiation process for the release of civilian prisoners held by Hamas. President Erdogan has instructed the related institutions to lead the negotiation process. The released an Israeli woman and 2 kids is 2nd batch. First ever hostage released is elderly [around 85 years old] women. Very healthy, get food and water during kidnapping time from Palestinian, and the footage, get again water from the IDF.
Plestia Alaqad | بلستيا العقاد is Journo in Gaza. Telco Ministry of Israel cut off internet to Gaza since 00.00 Saturday but at least 3 ‘popular Gazans’, literally in inside Gaza, Refaat [tweets 11am local time], Jason Shawa [tweets 7am local time], surgery doctor UK - Palestinian citizen Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta to say hi ‘we still alive, but don’t know next day. Situation in Rafah border still chaos.
