Israel has continued to block the entry of temporary housing into the Gaza Strip despite agreeing to allow the deliveries as part of the hostage and ceasefire deal, Middle East Eye reported on Monday.
Under the deal, Israel agreed to allow 200,000 tents and 60,000 mobile homes in Gaza, but so far, only 20,000 tents have entered, and no mobile homes have been allowed in. Tens of thousands of mobile homes are stuck at the Rafah crossing in Egypt.
The Times of Israel reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not given approval for the entry of mobile homes and construction equipment needed to clear the rubble. The report acknowledged that the move was a “potential breach of the ceasefire.”
According to Al Jazeera, a spokesman for Netanyahu admitted Israel was blocking the entry of the mobile homes, saying Israel would use “any leverage” it has to ensure Hamas releases hostages under the first phase of the ceasefire deal. But the strategy may backfire since Hamas threatened to postpone Saturday’s hostage release over Israel’s ceasefire violations.
Palestinians in Gaza told Al Jazeera that mobile homes were needed due to the conditions of their tents. “Tents are flooded with rain and sewerage water. We are soaked in waste water. Our children are getting sick. Those readymade homes would solve some of our many problems,” said Umm Mohammed Selemy, a resident of north Gaza.
Israeli forces have also continued to bomb and shoot Palestinians in Gaza despite the ceasefire deal, killing around 100 since the truce went into effect on January 19. The Israeli military said on Monday that its fighter jets targeted a vehicle traveling from north Gaza to central Gaza, claiming it was “on a route not approved for vehicle traffic.”
A day earlier, an Israeli drone strike killed three police officers near the southern city of Rafah. Gaza’s Health Ministry said the officers were in the area to secure aid shipments.
Trump already gave permission to proceed with the genocide.
In one of Trump's Social Media post in a round about way he was actually urging Netanyahu to break the cease fire. Trump's cease fire had little to do with saving lives, he just did not want bombs and missiles flying while he had a three day inauguration party.
Now that he is king it is Ok to continue the genocide in order to build the Gaza Riviera.
I don’t think it was “round about”.
But Netanyahu is calculating his political survival on hostage return, even though he doesn’t truly gaf about them.
Cannot be true. If he was concerned about the return of the hostages, he would have negotiated their release in 2023.
The hostages were considered to be collateral damage during the bombing that began 8Oct.
Appearance-wise. Part of the Israeli population was protesting his lack of efforts.
So… it is MIGA versus MAGA…! The Trump cult would not like that…!
That is the land of the Gazans, leave them alone.
Someone should tell trump that. Maybe you should write him a letter.
I have a better idea Tim, why don't you write the letter? And we'll all sign on.

60,000 mobile homes Who paid for them and where does one get 60,000 mobile homes so quickly.
What's the difference who paid for them? And since no mobile homes have been allowed in your question about where one gets 60,000 mobile homes so quickly is moot. Those fun-loving Israeli's are just showing their compassionate side again (/s).
Why does Israel sign agreements it has no intention of honoring?
A: Because they are Liars, Losers and Lunatics
Sheenies……………….
@vlp1730 I am sorry to hear that. I have no idea what was deleted but remember even the enemy has to be treated with justice.
Thousands of Israelis fled the country although civilian areas were spared attacks. Look at those Palestinians chilling out around a fire and utter destruction. "We teach life, Sir!"

It s time for baby Israel to grow up!…
The US must stop rescuing the foundling child!…
The problem is they were never a child. They were Zionist European warriors from the start to conquer the Middle East.
Their Torah and the Talmud gave them the right to take, to kill, to hold.
… And they call themselves the only democracy, versus theocracy, in the middle east…!
Try again. The Zionist movement was founded by an atheist (Herzl) and Israel was established by an atheist (ben Gurion). The texts of a religion they did not practice were not the justification, and in fact many observant practitioners of Judaism opposed the whole project (and some still do).
True, but the Evangelical Christians in the uS use the Old Testament to support Israel against the Palestinians. Huckabee does not even recognize Gaza or the West Bank. He calls it Judea and something else like of old and believes God gave the Israelis the right to kill the Arabs.
Yes, some evangelical Christians in the US are Zionists based on their misinterpretations of the Old and New Testaments (most of them likely couldn’t identify, let alone cite, the Talmud — at least when I was brought up as an evangelical it was never a thing).
Words to live by, universally!!!
Not consistent with the end goal of ethnic cleansing. Which I believe is considered a war crime. That part really isn't mentioned in the US media when Trump suggests it.
It was not mentioned when Biden supported it either. Both Left and Right media sided with Israel.
Maybe Trump will tell Israel to comply by Saturday at noon, or all hell will break loose?

A picture is a Thousand Words…! Someone please show this photo to Trump…! The Gazans like to live in the rubble of their destroyed homes…!
He would laugh.
