Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects of that are not immediately clear, but the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.

Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. It has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.

Hamas has pressed to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase instead, which would see the release of remaining hostages from Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and a lasting peace. Hamas is believed to have 24 living hostages and the bodies of 35 others.

    We’re moving towards doing the same thing to the US up here in Canada.

    Just shit you gotta do when you’re dealing with fascists. Sorry, we can’t hurt Fox News without hurting all of NY. Things are gonna be shit when fsacists are running things where you live.

      If this isn’t a troll may I suggest taking a critical reasoning course or two?

      Except it’s NOWHERE near the same thing.

      Palestine isn’t allowed to produce electricity itself or import it from anywhere else, so if Israel cuts off the electricity that means no electricity.

      The majority of the population wasn’t even BORN (let alone old enough to vote) the last time an election was allowed.

      Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.

      You’re basically comparing apples and Orange County.

        Isn’t that what ICE is doing right now?

      That’s an insanely brain dead statement. Did you take a drill to your temple earlier? If you did, you should finish and drill deeper.

        Weird how everyone is insulting him but nobody is rebutting him.

        Almost like he has a point, but the mob mentality isn’t allowed to acknowledge it so you just tar and feather him.

        During the war 1812 after the US attacked first, and even then only a little bit of rural northern New York.
