Israel objects to the UN's Security Council resolution saying that any calls for extended humanitarian pauses is 'disconnected from reality'
Biden says that those calling for a ceasefire are also not realistic, that supporters are ignoring the facts of the situation

BBC goes inside Al-Shifa Hospital with the Israeli army (msn.com)
It's interesting that Israel gave access to the hospital for this but tightly controlled the visit and its evidence doesn't stack up to a heavy threat within the hospital, nor of tunnels. If this gains traction it could make it harder for them to maintain the political support they are holding on to.
The real question for those MP's who are falling on their sword over calling for a ceasefire is - There catagorically isn't going to be one whether Labour supports one or not, what do they want to see happen in the interim?

Pity it's taken all this killing to get there.
The propaganda war seems to be almost as important as the war itself.
When one of the hospitals was hit two weeks or so ago many including people here were quick to jump to the conclusion that it was an Israeli airstrike but it seems that it was a Hamas rocket that failed.
We might never get to the whole truth about about what the IDF are finding, was it planted yes/no. There is an Amnesty International report from a few years ago which details Hamas locating themselves at hospitals to carry out torture and executions.
The IDF doesn't seem to have much to show but Hamas has had plenty of time to move items out, in addition they have been putting a lot of effort into defending the hospital.

I despair, really. Still wonder how things would’ve worked out had Yitzhak Rabin not been shot by a far-right nutjob back in 1995.
