Israel-Hamas Conflict Escalates Amid Ceasefire Talks

The article discusses the ongoing Israel-Hamas ceasefire negotiations, which are being complicated by issues surrounding aid distribution to the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US and Israel-backed aid mechanism, has been delivering food aid to Palestinians, but its efforts are being hindered by Hamas and criticized by the United Nations. The GHF chairman, Rev. Johnnie Moore, accuses the UN of 'mafia' tactics and lying about death toll figures near aid distribution sites.

The family of Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier killed by Hamas in 2014, is urging President Trump to help recover his body, held captive for over 4,000 days. His mother, Leah Goldin, met with world leaders and lawmakers, seeking justice and criticizing the Israeli government's handling of the situation. She praises the Trump administration's efforts and sees an opportunity for Saudi Arabia to demand Hadar's return as part of normalization talks.

The article argues that claims of 'Gaza genocide' are false and equivalent to Holocaust denial, as they trivialize the term 'genocide' and misrepresent Israel's actions in Gaza. The author, Alan Dershowitz, compares Israel's military actions to those of the Allies during WWII, concluding that Israel's actions are more justified and have a lower civilian-to-combatant death ratio.
