Israel excluye a prisioneros de Fatah como Marwan Barghouti y liberará a miembros de Hamas acusados de asesinatos y enviar a hombres bomba. Irónico. Bashar Al Assad liberó a todos los miembros de Al Qaeda y dejó presos a los opositores políticos. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
Israel replaces Fatah prisoners on Gaza deal release list with convicted Hamas killers
Though the List Was Already Approved by Ministers, a Cabinet Vote Passed to Replace the Fatah Members, Most of Whom Were Not Involved With Fatal Attacks, With Convicted Terrorists

Ten percent of Gazans have been killed or wounded — mostly women, children, & the elderly.

The U.S. has sent $22 billion taxpayer dollars to facilitate Netanyahu's slaughter.

This ceasefire must hold, the hostages must be freed, aid must flow and this horrific war must end.
