Hamas has seized the gas and medical supplies that were allowed in.
They raided the UNRWA and took the gas and medical supplies that was already in Gaza. @UNRWA tweeted about it (including that it was certainly Hamas members who took the supplies), but deleted the tweets. Those tweets were saved, though, and later shared by @IDF. That building was later damaged in an Isrsaeli strike. Of course, without that original tweet by the UNRWA the coverage turned to Israel bombing a humanitarian relief building.
Now, Israel has taken stronger control of the Rafah Crossing and is inspecting every single humanitarian aid truck coming in. That seems only logical, but of course is being spun as Israel denying humanitarian aid after they agreed to let it through.

Did she decide that she wasn't a feminist, or did she just abandon modern feminism?

“The Washington Post published an article alleging that during Blinken's visit to Saudi Arabia, the crown prince kept him waiting for several hours. At the same time, the meeting itself was supposed to take place in the evening, but the prince appeared only the next morning. The humiliation did not end there. As soon as the meeting began, the Crown Prince demanded an end to the siege of Gaza, as well as any military operations.“
That's when you tell him straight up that we're going to let Israel fricking glass gaza, and if he has a problem with it he can try us.

At what point is the second front with Hezbollah considered officially "open"?

The IDF is responding with artillery fire toward the origins of the fire.

That’s pretty much what has happened, just not in so many words…

Stunning State Department Memo Warns Diplomats: No Gaza 'De-Escalation' Talk
quote:LINK to Huff Post article
As Israel escalates its attacks on Gaza, the State Department is discouraging diplomats working on Middle East issues from making public statements suggesting the U.S. wants to see less violence, according to internal emails viewed by HuffPost.
In messages circulated on Friday, State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: “de-escalation/ceasefire,” “end to violence/bloodshed” and “restoring calm.”

Iran considers US 'militarily involved' in Israel's war with Hamas
quote:LINK to J Post article
Asked if Tehran would engage if the US weighed in, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said: "Iran considers that the United States is already militarily involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians."
"The crimes of the Zionist regime are carried out with the support of the United States and Washington must be held accountable," he added at a news conference.

Well, I'm pretty sure the US (and anyone paying attention) considers Iran already militarily involved. It would be kind of refreshing not seeing the usual beating around the bush, if the implications weren't what they are.

This isn’t about the US warmongering, this is about knowing Israel won’t listen to them and not coming off as impotent by trying to demand shite we know we won’t get.

KSA could give a shite about Gaza.
This was about making Blinken and Biden look as impotent as they are because they pissed off KSA over several things, including overtures to Iran begging for oil.

They should’ve had ICE at the exits, deport any illegally here to Gaza.

Exactly. How many Gazan refugees are they taking in?
Zero.
Israel could turn Gaza into a parking lot, and his only concern would be where the salt and pepper shakers are during lunch.
They respect power. They abhor weakness.

This is more about appeasing their population. KSA has a tenuous control over their population, and doenst want to be seen as siding with Israel...
....question is what are they saying/doing behind closed doors....

The frick?
This doesn’t sound like “evacuation planes”, this sounds like “prevent Israel from bombing the frick out of Gaza.”

Israel should’ve launched their ground assault 3 or 4 days ago.

This from the article.
80 million divided by 2 million people. Roughly.
4 million per person ?
