PRO-PALESTINE PROTEST OUTSIDE ISRAELI CONSULATE IN MIDTOWN ATLANTA

ATLANTA - Pro-Palestine protesters are expected to protest outside the Israeli
Consulate in Midtown Atlanta starting around 7 p.m, Tuesday as troops in Israel
enter Gaza’s vital Rafah border crossing. 

Evacuation orders were given Monday for the 25-square-mile city usually full of
thousands of civilians. 





The White House calls the Israeli seizure a "limited operation," but
pro-Palestine protesters fear this will lead to a full-scale invasion of the
southern city. 

Meanwhile, Hamas has agreed to a brokered cease-fire, but Israel said the deal
did not meet its core demands. Still, Israel said it would continue
negotiations. 



FOX 5 Atlanta plans to stream the protest on fox5atlanta.com and on FOX Local.
Protesters may be using foul or inappropriate language. Viewer discretion is
advised.


COLLAPSE OF AID TO GAZA 

The U.N. warned of a potential collapse of the flow of aid to Palestinians from
the closure of Rafah and the other main crossing into Gaza, Kerem Shalom, at a
time when officials say northern Gaza is experiencing "full-blown famine." 

The Israeli foray overnight came after hours of whiplash in the now 7-month-old
Israel-Hamas war, with the militant group saying Monday it accepted a cease-fire
proposal that Israel insisted fell short of its own core demands. 

The high-stakes diplomatic moves and military brinkmanship left a glimmer of
hope alive — if only barely — for a deal to bring at least a pause in the war,
which has killed more than 34,700 Palestinians, according to local health
officials, and has devastated the Gaza Strip. 

MIT PROTESTERS WON'T BACK DOWN

MIT protesters have not left the campus over 24 hours after the Boston school
required the area to be cleared. Pro-Israel protesters have planted dozens of
Israel flags outside of the encampment.


WHY IS RAFAH IMPORTANT? 

By capturing the Rafah crossing, Israel gained full control over the entry and
exit of people and goods for the first time since it withdrew soldiers and
settlers from Gaza in 2005, though it has long maintained a blockade of the
coastal enclave in cooperation with Egypt. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the capture of the crossing an
"important step" toward dismantling Hamas’ military and governing capabilities,
and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Israel would "deepen" the Rafah operation
if the talks on the hostage deal failed. 

Osama Hamdan, a Hamas official based in Beirut, said the militant group would
not respond to military pressure or threats and would not accept any "occupying
force" at the Rafah crossing. 


WHITE HOUSE RESPONDS TO RAFAH INVASION 

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the operation
along the Gaza-Egypt border in eastern Rafah was not a full-on invasion of the
city that President Joe Biden has repeatedly warned against on humanitarian
grounds. He said Israel had described it as "an operation of limited scale and
duration" aimed at cutting off Hamas arms smuggling. 

Kirby also expressed optimism about the negotiations, saying Israel and Hamas
"should be able to close the remaining gaps" to complete an agreement, without
offering a timetable. He said CIA chief William Burns will attend further talks
in Cairo with representatives from Israel, Egypt and Qatar. Hamas also sent a
delegation to Cairo, which will meet separately with the Arab mediators. 

"Everybody is coming to the table," Kirby said. 

2 GEORGIA LAWMAKERS ON ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT

Two state lawmakers with families in the Middle East are weighing in on the
conflict between the two nations. State Rep. Ruwa Romman is the only
Palestinian-American in the Georgia General Assembly. State Rep. Esther Panitch
is the only Jewish-American lawmaker at the State Capitol.

Fighting forced the evacuation of the Abu Youssef al-Najjar Hospital, one of the
main medical centers receiving people wounded in airstrikes on Rafah in recent
weeks. It was not immediately clear how many patients had been moved to other
facilities. 

The looming operation threatens to widen a rift between Israel and its main
backer, the United States, which says it is concerned over the fate of around
1.3 million Palestinians crammed into Rafah, most of whom fled fighting
elsewhere. 

Biden warned Netanyahu again Monday against launching an invasion of the city
after Israel ordered 100,000 Palestinians to evacuate from parts of Rafah. But
Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners have threatened to bring down his
government if he calls off the offensive or makes too many concessions in
cease-fire talks. 


ISRAEL-HAMAS CEASE-FIRE TALKS 

Palestinians’ cheers of joy over Hamas’ acceptance of the cease-fire deal turned
to fear Tuesday. Families fled Rafah’s eastern neighborhoods on foot or in
vehicles and donkey carts piled with mattresses and supplies. Children watched
as parents disassembled tents in the sprawling camps that have filled Rafah for
months to move to their next destination — which for many remained uncertain. 

"Netanyahu only cares about coming out on top. He doesn’t care about children. I
don’t think he’ll agree" to a deal, said Najwa al-Saksuk as her family packed up
while Israeli strikes rang out amid plumes of black smoke. 

NETANYAHU RESPONDS TO HAMAS CEASEFIRE DEAL

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is giving his reaction to a ceasefire
deal brokered by several Arab states to end the conflict with Hamas.

Families of the hostages also saw their hope turn to despair. Rotem Cooper,
whose 85-year-old father, Amiram, was among scores abducted during Hamas’ Oct. 7
attack, slammed what he said was the government’s inaction on a deal. 

"We see all sorts of explanations — this isn’t the deal that we gave them, Hamas
changed it without saying something," Cooper said at a parliamentary hearing
Tuesday. He questioned whether military pressure was an effective bargaining
tactic. 


ISRAEL INVADES RAFAH 

Israel’s 401st Brigade took "operational control" of the Gaza side of the Rafah
crossing early Tuesday, the military said. Military footage showed Israeli flags
flying from tanks in the area. It also said troops and airstrikes targeted
suspected Hamas positions in Rafah. 

The military claimed it had intelligence the crossing was "being used for
terrorist purposes," though it did not immediately provide evidence. It said
Hamas fighters near the crossing launched a mortar attack that killed four
Israeli troops near Kerem Shalom on Sunday and that more mortars and rockets
were fired from the area Tuesday. 

The Rafah crossing with Egypt and the Kerem Shalom crossing with Israel are
critical entry points for food, medicine and other supplies for Gaza’s 2.3
million people. They have been closed for at least the past two days, though the
smaller Erez crossing between Israel and northern Gaza continues to operate. 

Israeli authorities denied the U.N. humanitarian affairs office access to the
Rafah crossing Tuesday, said its spokesman, Jens Laerke, warning the disruption
could break the fragile aid operation. All fuel for aid trucks and generators
comes through Rafah, and Laerke said there was a "very, very short buffer of
about one day of fuel." 

Israeli strikes and bombardment across Rafah overnight killed at least 23
Palestinians, including at least six women and five children, according to
hospital records. 

Mohamed Abu Amra said his wife, two brothers, sister and niece were killed when
a strike flattened their home as they slept. "We did nothing. ... We don’t have
Hamas," he said. 


MIDDLE EAST REACTS TO ISRAEL INVADING RAFAH 

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry condemned the seizure of the crossing, calling it "a
dangerous escalation." 

It has previously warned that any seizure of Rafah — which is supposed to be
part of a demilitarized border zone — or an attack that forces Palestinians to
flee into Egypt would threaten the 1979 peace treaty with Israel that’s been a
linchpin for regional security. 

Netanyahu has said an offensive to take Rafah — which Israel says is Hamas’ last
major stronghold in Gaza — is crucial to destroying Hamas after its Oct. 7
attack on southern Israel that triggered the war. Hamas and other militants
killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took around 250 hostages. 

The United States, Egypt and Qatar have spent months trying to broker an
agreement on a cease-fire and the release of the estimated 100 hostages and
remains of 30 others still held by Hamas, which insists it will not release them
unless Israel ends the war and withdraws from Gaza. 

PROTESTERS CLASH WITH POLICE AT MET GALA

NYPD reportedly arrested two dozen protesters at the celebrity-packed MET Gala
Monday night. They tried to get as close as they could to the MET.

Netanyahu and other top officials have publicly rejected those demands, saying
they plan to resume the offensive after any hostage release and continue it
until Hamas is destroyed. For now, the hostages serve as Hamas’ strongest
bargaining chip and potential human shields for its leaders. 

An Egyptian official and a Western diplomat said the draft Hamas accepted had
only minor changes in wording from a version the U.S. had earlier pushed for
with Israeli approval. The changes were made in consultation with the CIA chief,
who embraced the draft before sending it to Hamas, they said, speaking on
condition of anonymity to discuss the deliberations. 

According to a copy released by Hamas, the proposal outlines a phased release of
the hostages alongside gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from the entire
enclave and ending with a "sustainable calm," defined as a "permanent cessation
of military and hostile operations."
