US Ultimatum Expires: Israel Demands More Genocide, Shocking No One
The New Arab reports calls in Israel to restart the Gaza war after a supposed U.S. 48-hour 'ultimatum' to Hamas expired. This 'ultimatum' was floated by Donald Trump — yes, that Donald Trump — and apparently involved Hamas returning captives' bodies. Given Netanyahu's government has repeatedly ignored calls from the current U.S. administration, the idea that a casual deadline from a former
president would yield results is, shall we say, imaginative. This predictable escalation follows a pattern: U.S. officials offer rhetorical slaps on the wrist while simultaneously green-lighting more aid. In December 2023, the U.S. bypassed Congress to send 14,000 tank shells to Israel. (Source: Department of State, December 9, 2023). One might wonder: how many 'ultimatums' does it take before the
world realizes these are just poorly acted scenes in a very bloody play?
