Right, so Israel's run out of excuses again,
so they've started digging up some new ones.
The bombing, as we know, never stopped. It just
got relabeled ceasefire, and now the latest moral
cover stories at Hamas sent them the wrong remains
of Israeli hostages, and they must have done
it on purpose. That's the hook. The pretext to
switch the war machine all back on. The trouble
is it's already fallen apart. Haaretz, one of
Israel's own papers, says Hamas warned them the
IDs were uncertain. Other outlets have said Israel
is blocking forensic tools and every DNA kit
that could have proved who was who and that they
banned the autopsy tools needed as well. Then
CENTCOM steps in with a miracle drone clip of
Hamas looting aid. One truck, no proof, just
propaganda. The whole thing stinks of coordination.
Washington and Israel now both fabricating stories
which get debunked. Israel of course fabricates
more moral outrage off the back of it despite
the clear lack of morals on show in their government.
And together it is becoming more and more obvious
that they're both clearing the runway to start
the genocide in full. All over again. Right,
so Israel's government is accusing Hamas of returning
the wrong remains. The claim runs like this,
you see. Hamas sent back bodies said to be Israeli
captives and forensic tests prove they weren't.
The insinuation is deliberate deceit, though,
that Hamas is mocking Israel by handing over
random corpses. It's a kind of story designed
to stir fury and reignite a war, isn't it? Once
you strip away all of their slogans, the whole
thing collapses under its own weight because
Israel already knew the remains were uncertain,
they were told as much beforehand, and they also
know full well that they've banned the equipment
that could have confirmed their identity back
in Gaza, and it's used that chaos as another
pretext, the last trigger to try and end this
blasted ceasefire which is threatening Netanyahu's
posterior on his gilded throne. Heretz reported
that Hamas had told Israel in advance it wasn't
sure who the remains belonged to. Channel 12
confirmed that Forensic tests later found they
didn't match any of the 11 Israeli captives to
learn accounted for. But it's also been revealed
that Israel itself has blocked all DNA testing
materials from entering Gaza. Euromed Human Rights
Monitor backed that up by listing the equipment
barred under the dual -use pretext, autopsy tools,
lab instruments, even cotton swabs for DNA analysis.
In other words, Israel destroyed the forensic
capacity, then blamed Hamas for the confusion
that then caused. Hamas's statement to it all
was rather blunt. It said its recovery teams
were still digging through debris where bodies
lay under collapsed towers and that they'd asked
international mediators and the Red Cross to
send in additional personnel and testing kits.
Israel refused. Instead its military brief journalists
said Hamas was delaying returns and violating
the terms of the ceasefire. That spin has turned
a logistical impossibility created by Israeli
bombardment and blockade into moral ammunition
for yet another offensive. We know who it works
by now, don't we? Meanwhile, the United States
stepped in to lend credibility to their narrative,
actually, by adding a story of its own. The US
Central Command, CENTCOM, announced that one
of its drones had spotted suspected Hamas operatives
looting an aid truck in southern Gaza. No proof,
just a short grainy clip and a caption. But the
video showed one vehicle, no clear insignia,
no timestamp, and yet American outlets ran it
as fact. CENTCOM claimed at least 600 aid trucks
enter Gaza daily, a figure that every humanitarian
agency on the ground immediately contradicted.
UNRWA, the OCHA, the World Food Programme, they
all said the real number was roughly a quarter
of that, sometimes far less. The Gaza Media Office
called the US claim fabricated and baseless,
describing it as part of a systematic disinformation
campaign aimed at discrediting the Palestinian
police who were escorting the envoys. Those police,
they reminded the world, have lost more than
a thousand officers whilst protecting aid deliveries
from airstrikes and from looting, looting from
gangs backed by Israel. The pattern ought to
be more than familiar to us by now. Israel needs
moral cover to break a truce and provided a reason
of their own for that, illegitimate as that might
be. The United States provides a story too that
makes that mindset look all the more justified.
It's the same choreography during every pause
before this, isn't it? Hamas accused of firing
first, Israel responding. The bombing resumes
and Washington nods gravely about Israel's right
to defend itself. This time though, the narrative
has started to unravel faster than usual because
the facts are visible and the contradictions
far too sharp to just bury like that. According
to Gaza's government media office, Israel has
allowed only 24 % of the agreed aid and commercial
trucks to enter under the ceasefire deal. That
figure was confirmed by independent monitoring
by the likes of the OCHA and the WFP. Israel
still restricts fuel, still restricts electricity.
still restricts medical supplies, the very things
that keep hospitals and morgues functioning.
So while Senkom is there accusing Hamas of stealing
one truck, Israel is openly blocking three -quarters
of all humanitarian aid. It's a siege disguised
as logistics management. The blockade is not
a side effect, it becomes the method. Dr. Amid
al -Farah, director of Al -Tahrir Hospital near
the Nasser Medical Complex, described what that
blockade meant in practice. He said that out
of every seven bodies brought in, only one can
be identified because Decomposition and injury
makes recognition almost impossible. Many show
burns, binding marks or evidence of extreme trauma.
Some, he said, were hollowed out, organs missing
and the cavities packed with cotton. Others bore
circular burns consistent with heated metal rods.
None of these details have been disproved. Israel
simply refuses access for independent forensic
teams to verify them. For the families waiting
at the gates there's no process, no paperwork,
no closure. just a line of unidentifiable corpses
in a state that controls even the right to know
who has died. The International Committee of
the Red Cross has confirmed that it facilitated
the transfer of remains between Hamas and Israel.
Its role is strictly humanitarian, but the ICRC
also said that Israel's obstruction of forensic
materials is crippling recovery efforts. When
a warring state blocks DNA kits, autopsy tools
and refrigeration units, It's not just breaching
medical protocol, it's destroying the chain of
evidence. And that's still on top of all the
bombing they're conducting going on. Without
that chain though, no war crimes tribunal can
function. So this is how accountability ends
up dying. This is why it's essential we get journalists
in there and why Israel is so resistant to that,
frankly terrified of the prospect. Israel insists
that this is about security, that DNA... kits
and lab instruments and even cotton swabs are
dual use and can be diverted for military purposes.
I am blowed if I can work out how Hamas can possibly
weaponize a cotton bud, but apparently they can.
It's a claim that just doesn't survive contact
with reality. It's a nonsense and yet it's still
accepted as fact. What's really being secured
here isn't safety, it's impunity. The blockade
doesn't just stop fuel, it stops proof. So everywhere
you look the same logic ends up applying. Hospitals
ration electricity not because Hamas wards fuel
but because Israel limits entry to a few trucks
a day. Bakeries close because the ovens can't
run without gas. Water stations shut down. Sewage
plants overflow. Disease spreads. Each failure
is later cited as evidence of Hamas mismanagement
when it is in fact the direct result of Israeli
policy restricting items being allowed into the
strip. This is why Gaza's authorities say 24%.
They're counting the gap between promises and
deliveries, between what's announced at press
conferences and what actually crosses the gate.
The hypocrisy peaks when Israel lectures about
dignity for his own dead. Palestinian families
receiving bodies from Israeli custody have documented
bound wrists, execution -style gunshots and missing
organs. Multiple media outlets have published
evidence of torture marks on those bodies as
well as calling for international forensic investigations
and Israel blocks that. I can't imagine why.
So the same government accusing Hamas of disrespecting
remains is returning corpses that medical professionals
describe rather charitably all things considered
as mutilated. At home, Israel's far right has
taken that logic further. National Security Minister
Itamar Ben -Gavir, for it is he, once again,
has renewed his push for a death penalty law
targeting Palestinians convicted in military
courts, courts already notorious for secret evidence
and coerced confessions. He appeared on video
yet again in a prison because he seems to be
making a habit of that of late, next to bound
prisoners demanding that terrorists be executed.
Hamas condemned it as state -endorsed revenge,
not justice, but Ben -Gavir's rhetoric fits the
pattern. Each step that dehumanizes Palestinians
becomes the moral groundwork for the next atrocity
and he's threatening to pull the plug on Netanyahu's
coalition if he doesn't get his wish. Meanwhile
Washington maintains the pose of mediator while
enabling every breach. It knows Israel is striking
targets during the supposed ceasefire. The OCHA
has logged the shelling and the drone fire almost
daily but it refuses to call those violations.
Instead US officials echo the line that Hamas
is undermining progress. The CENTCOM video is
just the latest attempt to reset the narrative,
to make the occupier look besieged and the besieged
to look criminal. And yet the numbers portray
the script. One unverified truck versus 300 trucks
a day denied entry at all. One alleged looting
against thousands of verified airstrikes. The
scale itself exposes the lie. But what all this
reveals is how information warfare has ended
up replacing diplomacy. The ceasefire is not
meant to hold, it's meant to perform stability
while Israel rearranges the battlefield. Its
yellow line within the Gaza Strip is proof of
that happening. Each breach becomes another test
of international tolerance. When outrage fades,
they push further. When headlines turn, they
hit again. The wrong remain story was supposed
to be the moral shock that justified resuming
strikes. Instead it backfired completely because
the documentation trail all points the other
way and more and more people are questioning
what Israel tell them. Israel engineered the
confusion it's now using as an excuse and is
getting called out for it. Forensic science is
supposed to be neutral. DNA doesn't care about
politics, you see. But when the state controls
the swabs and the microscopes, the truth itself
becomes contraband. The blockade of forensic
materials isn't just a technical issue, it becomes
a form of censorship. It stops Gaza doctors from
proving what was done to their patients. It stops
international investigators from building cases.
It turns the rubble into silence. That's why
this matters more than the propaganda cycle,
because without evidence there can be no accountability,
and without accountability every ceasefire is
just an interval between crimes. Even Israel's
domestic press has started to sense the danger.
Haaretz has published editorials warning that
Netanyahu's government is losing credibility
abroad, one of the few Israeli outlets that at
times holds them to account or tries to. The
longer it insists on stories that collapse under
scrutiny the more isolated it becomes, especially
as they get exposed. Each exposed falsehood weakens
the diplomatic shield that has kept the war going.
When a state's self -defense narrative depends
on blocking DNA kits and staging drone videos,
it's already lost the moral war. For Palestinians,
though, the cost is all too real. It's the daily
grind of hunger, disease and grief under blockade.
It's the mother waiting at a hospital door holding
a photograph. because the body inside has no
face left to match it. It's the medic trying
to keep a generator running long enough to take
one last sample before the fuel runs out. These
are not metaphors, they're the physical consequences
of this policy. Decisions taken, signatures inked,
shipments stopped. So when Israel tells the world
Hamas has broken the ceasefire, remember the
paperwork, remember the list of banned items,
the aid trucks turned away, the bodies sent to
Gaza stripped of organs and names, the evidence
isn't hidden, it's just treated as irrelevant.
But it's all there in the manifest and the reports,
the numbers that don't lie. 24 % of aid allowed
in, 11 bodies still missing, one lie, too many.
And they can shout about wrong remains and aid
theft all they like. The record shows who's withholding
the test kits and who's starving the hospitals
and who's afraid of the truth those tests would
prove. The blockade of evidence is the blockade
of Gaza itself and that's the part they can't
spin away because sooner or later every lie meets
a fact it can't bury. This one just did. Israel
really doesn't like it when the truth comes out.
It's why they have such a problem with individuals
such as Francesca Albanese, of course, even now
resorting to calling her a witch over her latest
report. Well, she had a response to that line
as it happens, and Israel liked that even less.
