A Hamas official accused #Trump of aiding an Israeli “deception operation,” but the movement says it wants to bridge the gaps and make a deal.

"The #Hamas official said the “new” draft was largely a repackaging of terms that the #US and #Israel tried to strong arm Hamas into accepting in late May. That deal would have allowed some #Israeli forces to remain entrenched in #Gaza, offered no clear guarantees for a permanent end to the war, and allowed Israel to effectively maintain control of food and aid distribution in Gaza."

..."The goal of Israel's far right is expansion of #Israeli territory to include what proponents call "Greater Israel," which is based on biblical boundaries that stretched from Africa to Turkey to Mesopotamia.

"The day before she was released, on Monday, Sakeik was awoken by guards and told that she was going to be removed from the detention facility in Texas, where she was being held. An officer told Sakeik that she was being deported, but then she was not.

Sakeik was first threatened with deportation on 12 June when ICE agents brought her to the tarmac at Fort Worth Alliance Airport and told her they were deporting her to “the border of #Israel.”

'Ward was arrested and almost deported simply because she is #Palestinian and ICE thought they could get away with it'
- Chris Godshall-Bennett, lawyer representing Sakeik
