Press TV – May 19, 2025
The US special envoy on Israeli captives has defended the Israeli genocide in Gaza as a demonstration of strength, which he said is needed to release the captives held by Palestinian resistance fighters.
Speaking to Fox News Sunday, Adam Boehler said, “All Palestinians need this barrage to stop,” but it’s “through that toughness and through that strength that we’re going to see the hostages released.”
Hamas’s release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander was a “sign” that the group “understands” it must release Israeli captives “if they want this barrage of attacks to stop,” he further said.
On Friday, a senior Hamas official said that US special envoy Steve Witkoff personally assured the Palestinian resistance group that the US would pressure Israel to end the Gaza blockade and permit humanitarian access within two days of freeing Alexander.
Boehler added that only the release of Israeli captives would stop the regime’s attacks, which according to a recent Israeli investigative report, have killed civilians in 82% of cases.
This week in Doha, Witkoff and Boehler held multiple discussions with Israeli negotiators and regional mediators from Qatar and Egypt.
While Boehler insisted talks in Doha remain “very fluid” and rejected reports of deadlock, the US and Israel continue to openly use the threat of additional mass civilian casualties in Gaza as a bargaining leverage.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said on Sunday that the group will not release the remaining Israeli captives as long as the occupying regime can continue its genocidal war afterward.
“We will not hand over the occupation’s captives as long as it insists on endlessly continuing its aggression against Gaza,” he said.
At least 53,339 Palestinians have been killed and 121,034 wounded since Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
is it time for a tax on politicians ?
The Yids are still milking the bogus ‘hostage story’ for every last drop. There were & are no ‘hostages’. Oct 7 was a IDF-Mossad black op/psyop where Jews staged a Truman Show skit, dressing up as ‘hamas’ & ‘kidnapping’ other Jews pretending to be ‘hostages’. This was done to accelerate their eschatological goals as they progress toward their upcoming God-Magog war (WWIII), third temple & arrival of mongrel moshiach (aka Jesus to the Christians). Not much can be done to stop it, since all the so-called ‘world leaders’ (Trump,Starmer,Putin, Xi, etc) are agents of these Zionist-Commie cabal.
Hamas is a Mossad front and there are no real hostages, the whole thing is a scam and a psyop to give Israel the excuse to genocide the Palestinian people, just like the October 7 scam and psyop, the whole deal was a false flag to give Israel the excuse to genocide the Palestinian people.
1) UNICEF, originally the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, has issued a new warning about conditions of Palestinian children in Gaza, amid the ongoing Israeli blockade of the territory.
UNICEF said on Sunday conditions in Gaza have drastically worsened under Israel’s crippling siege in the past two months.
The agency noted that children are enduring the regime’s relentless airstrikes while being deprived of essential goods, services, and life-saving care.
It called for an immediate ceasefire and the urgent entry of humanitarian aid into the territory.

2) Palestinian officials say Israeli forces have killed at least 219 journalists and media workers since the regime’s genocidal war started in the Gaza Strip more than 19 months ago.
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said on Sunday that the Israeli regime was pressing ahead with its systematic policy of targeting and killing journalists to prevent truthful coverage of its war crimes.
The Syndicate said there are at least thirty female journalists among those killed by Israeli forces, and one who was killed in the occupied West Bank.

3) The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has rejected claims of agreeing to a temporary truce in the Gaza Strip, asserting that it will not release the remaining Israeli captives as long as the occupying regime can continue its genocidal war afterward.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri made the remarks on Sunday after several reports said Israel and Hamas were considering US proposals for a deal that would see the release of about half of the 20 living captives in return for a truce lasting about two months and the release of Palestinian abductees.
He dismissed the reports as “fake news,” saying the Tel Aviv regime was trying to “confuse the public” in order to pressure the resistance and carry out its crimes.
“We will not hand over the occupation’s captives as long as it insists on endlessly continuing its aggression against Gaza,” he said.
Abu Zuhri also expressed Hamas’s readiness to release all the captives at once, on the condition that Israel ends its Gaza onslaught with INTERNATIONAL GUARANTEES !

LOL…
You know you are dealing with bullshit of the highest refinement when the jewes running the Yankee extermination squad ladle the faux gravitas on this thick with laughable credentialism such as…
“The US special envoy on Israeli captives …” ?????? lol…
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha! fucking ha!..
To Christians and Moslems, the destruction and Israeli occupation of Gaza is immoral. From the Jewish point of view, it is a good. They advocate the destruction of the Amalaks (other than Jewish). Life or death, it’s that simple. The karma from this is real. Choose carefully, choose wisely.
Poor misinformed readers thinking it’s unleashed Jews who inflict all this mayhem.
Obviously, they need agent Carl Jones to teach them that it is Nazis, Nazis, Nazis….

KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Who was it who since 1945 has people trafficked in millions of foriegn nationals ?
who was it who pushed and bullied all brits to have the covid jabs
but allowed in millions of migrants who did not have it ?
Who was it who takes 70% of our wages in taxes some obvious and some hidden ?
who was it who devised the ” liver pool care pathway”?
to kill off old folk in hospitals or their own homes to, as Matt Hancock said
steal their homes and belongings to fund yet more migrants.
Who was it who told us the lies Iraq had WMDs and could bomb us in 45 minutes ?
Who was it who despite millions marching very day across the UK to stop the palestinian holocaust, yet sent the RAF to bomb them ?
Who is it wants to stop our farmers producing our food ?
and getting us to eat insects ?
Who is it who indulged in the mass migrant swamping of the UK ?
Who is it hid up the huge numbers of child rapes across the north of england ?
Who is it trying to get foolish kids to join the army for a war on Russia ?
Who brought in positive discrimination, making us second class citizens to the migrants in our own land ?
Yes your government, this is your enemy.
The Tory or Labour thing is a hoax, they work together, its time the stables are
swept out, Farage like Tommy Robinson, have taken their 30 pieces of silver
if you vote, vote for independents, not for one of the Rothschild parties
The Zionism International sends another asshole to pontificate as what the Palestinians are experiencing. And then the Zionist International publishes this fake sympathy and proposal for what to do. And then the Zionist International censors, bans, prohibits and criminalizes resistance, protest and identifying the genocidal monster as for what it is.
The criminal wants his crimes not to be called for what they are. What a racket. What a horror loosed upon the West and the middle east.
All the while, the endless narrative is given coverage by the media, that the whole thing is the fault of Hamas, the likes of Dershowitz to the shabos goyim of one American administration after another. The soldiers of “a nation within a nation” in every conquered Western country are waging a war in ways never known or attempted, and for many, it’s God’s will, God’s war, for He has Chosen the warriors to carry out His Plan.

She added: “The VRT must take the lead in requesting this investigation. And in holding the debate on the televoting system within the EBU, and on Israel’s participation, many people want them banned.”
Martin Green, himself a jew and the director of Eurovision, said: “It is important to emphasise that the voting operation for the Eurovision Song Contest is checked each country’s result is checked and verified by a team of people to exclude any suspicious or irregular voting patterns.

EBU’s Mr Green added: “We can confirm that we have been in touch with VRT and RTVE since Saturday’s grand final regarding voting in the competition.
