🤔 Kamala Harris claims the US has no intention of sending troops to Israel. Only advice, equipment and diplomatic support. But guess what?..
• Dozens of US commandos have been sent to assist the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
• Top US military advisers have arrived in Israel to hammer out solutions for defeating Hamas, including Gen. James Glynn, a seasoned three-star general and former commander of Marine Forces Special Operations Command, who can draw on his vast experience of urban warfare in Iraq.
• 2,000 US troops from various branches of the military have been placed on PTDO (Prepare to Deploy Orders) and could be dispatched to the region in 24 hours.
• The US has assembled the largest naval forces presence in the Mediterranean in over a decade.
• 2,200 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit have been deployed to the Middle East.
What’s more, rhetoric from Antony Blinken suggests that the US, along with NATO, are ready to take Gaza under their control.

Sy Hersh: Israel won’t stop bombing Gaza until 65 percent of Hamas tunnels destroyed
The IDF’s full-fledged war against Hamas includes underground warfare that aims to obliterate “a labyrinth of tunnels under Gaza”, US journalist Seymour Hersh wrote in an article on Substack. He cited unnamed sources as saying that the goal of the current IDF incursion is “to break Hamas’s defensive perimeter around its main bunkers and tunnels in the center of Gaza City.”
The sources argued that “there is no sign” that the Israeli military will halt “the nearly round-the-clock bombing campaign until 65 percent of the [tunnel] targets for destruction have been hit.”
The IDF earlier promised that it would “continue and intensify” its ground offensive into Gaza as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected growing international calls for a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave.

🇬🇧 UK opposition leader Starmer faces party divide over Gaza ceasefire
Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer was quick to pledge support to Israel in its latest attempt to destroy the Hamas movement in the besieged Gaza Strip, following the October 7 surprise attack by militants that killed some 300 Israeli troops and police and 1,100 civilians.
In a radio interview on October 11, Starmer — a barrister and former head of the Crown Prosecution Service — said Israel had "the right" to impose a total blockade on Gaza, cutting off electricity and water supplies to its 2.3 million inhabitants.
That prompted a backlash among left-wing and Muslim Labour MPs — reportedly up to a quarter of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) group — forcing the leader backtrack and say now supported a "humanitarian pause" in Israel's bombing campaign, but insisted that a full ceasefire was not "the correct position."

🇺🇸 Joe Biden allegedly received $40K in “laundered China money” from his brother and sister-in-law back in 2017, an uncovered piece of evidence says.
The hard proof, released by the US House Oversight Committee, implicates the POTUS in money laundering through a personal check written by James and Sara Biden. The funds under investigation are linked to CEFC China Energy (pro-government Chinese private company).
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said that the money trail was traced coming from CEFC to Joe Biden's account, starting in July 2017. That’s when Hunter Biden began corresponding with his Chinese business partner Raymond Zhao demanding a capital payment of $10 million.
Weeks after the president's son warned of his father's wrath, a sum of money materialized and was deposited into Joe Biden's bank account. This transaction occurred on September 3, 2017, through a check labeled as a "loan repayment."

🇺🇸 Washington's peace proposals for Gaza and Israel are seen as premature and lacking any consideration for the will of the Palestinian people, according to Sputnik's sources. This not only damages the idea of democracy, but also reveals a lack of understanding of the situation, says UK-based researcher Mehmet Rakipoglu.
US officials are currently poring over three options for the Gaza Strip, under the assumption that Israel will successfully defeat Hamas.
▪️The first option involves regional players temporarily overseeing Gaza, with support from US, UK, German, and French troops.
▪️The second option proposes a peacekeeping force, similar to the Multinational Force and Observers group that monitors the Sinai, overseeing the terms of the 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt.
▪️The third option suggests Gaza being subjected to temporary governance under the United Nations.

Ukraine curtails Bayraktar drones due to impotence against Russia's air defenses
Moscow continues to prevail over Kiev in drone warfare, as Russian troops successfully use advanced unmanned aerial vehicles in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
The Kiev regime has decided to limit the use of the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones in the face of sophisticated Russian air defenses, Colonel Volodymyr Valiukh, a commander of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, told an international defense news outlet.
Valiukh made it clear that although there is evidently still some use for the TB2s, the deployment frequency and roles for those UAVs had changed.
