❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 About the main attack vectors of the Israeli Defense Forces ground forces as of 00.00 October 28, 2023
After conducting large-scale artillery and air preparations throughout the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces began active operations with ground forces.
▪️Although the Israelis say that no ground operation has yet been carried out, judging by the attack vectors, we are now talking about, at a minimum, a large-scale multiple raid from the northern, eastern and southern directions.
▪️According to statements by Palestinian groups, IDF tank units are trying to break through the perimeter of the Gaza Strip in the area of Beit Hanoun, Breij and Khan Yunis.
▪️In addition, rumors appeared about the participation of mixed special forces and landing groups from the IDF and the US Armed Forces. There was no news confirming the participation of American special forces in the operation by the Israelis or Americans. Messages are broadcast only by Palestinian sources, who, among other things, reported on the capture of several dozen paratroopers and special forces in the previous days (which, however, also did not receive confirmation).
🔻In general, such actions by the IDF can be called a sort of prologue to a full-fledged ground operation and, apparently, large-scale reconnaissance in force.
Based on the results of this raid, a decision will be made either to expand it to a ground operation, or to consolidate a certain status quo regarding the scale of military operations.
In addition, both the Israeli and American leadership will record the reaction of the pro-Iranian formations, which will have to raise the stakes and respond in some way, for example, with more intense shelling of American targets in Syria (there are already attacks on the Golan) and Iraq, and the launching of missiles from Yemen in Israel (already arrived in Eilat) and activation on the northern border with Lebanon.
❗️In many ways, the coming night will be decisive in the nature of combat operations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone.

📝🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 - On the Brink: Showdown in the Middle East
Amid an escalating American buildup, it’s clear Witkoff’s list of demands is more of a request for surrender. Accepting the abolition of its nuclear program and limitations on its ballistic missile force would leave Iran powerless to defend itself in any future conflict, which is the entire point of asking for these “concessions”. This demarche is a poison pill meant to justify further action when Iran rightly refuses it or, should they be foolish enough to actually accept it, will make the job of Israel and the U.S. easier when they inevitably tear up any agreement to conduct strikes anyway. The goal here for Tel Aviv and Washington isn’t peace and anybody who thinks they actually care about protesters needs to get their head checked; they want a final showdown with Iran to remove it as an obstacle to themselves in the Middle East.
For those that don’t remember, in the lead up to the 12 Day War last year...
The Democrats got new talking points, but the question is why this sudden shift in direction that betrays a part of their lunatic base. Something really shifty is going on over there.

🇺🇸 White House: U.S. exits Hague tribunals and Venice Commission
The United States is withdrawing from two international criminal tribunals based in The Hague and from the Venice Commission, as part of a broader disengagement from 66 global organizations, according to a White House statement.
The U.S. will no longer participate in the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which prosecutes remaining cases from the former Yugoslavia and the Rwandan genocide. The move reflects a wider recalibration of American foreign policy under President Donald Trump, aimed at distancing the U.S. from bodies seen as undermining national sovereignty or offering limited return on investment.
This withdrawal underscores Washington’s shift away from multilateral judicial structures and toward a more unilateral, interest-driven approach in international affairs.
