❗️US President Donald Trump on Truth Social:
"My telephone call with President El-Sisi, of Egypt, went very well. We discussed numerous topics, among which was the tremendous Military progress we have made against the Ship destroying Houthis in Yemen — Also discussed was Gaza, and possible solutions, Military preparedness, etc."
❗️Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ):
"The [Israeli] occupation forces’ bombing of an UNRWA clinic sheltering displaced persons in Jabalia camp — resulting in the martyrdom of several innocent people, including children, and the injury of others — in addition to the massacre of medical and civil defense teams in Rafah a few days ago, and the systematic targeting of hospitals and clinics, are all classified war crimes being committed by the enemy in full view of the world. These acts flagrantly disregard all human standards and values and reflect a complete lack of morality and human conscience.
The enemy’s claims of "negotiating under fire," while simultaneously carrying out a ground invasion aimed at expanding its occupation, are nothing but blatant deception intended to achieve its goals of exterminating the people of Gaza and forcibly displacing the survivors. These actions serve the agendas of the U.S. administration, which provides Israel with full support and resources, while the world remains either powerless or complicit in silence."
❗️Member of Hamas Political Bureau, Suhail al-Hindi:
– "We call on the world to stand with the humanitarian right of Gaza’s residents to lift the siege, end the starvation, and allow the entry of aid."
– "We rejected the impossible conditions set by the Trump administration and Netanyahu, including surrendering the resistance's weapons and the exit of leaders from Gaza."
– "We will not raise the white flag, and we will not release the captives except through a fair and comprehensive exchange deal."

⭕️ German immigration authorities have ordered four activists—three EU nationals and one American—to leave Germany following their participation in pro-Palestine protests, according to a lawyer representing two of them.
The activists, consisting of two Irish citizens, one Polish national, and an American, were told they must leave by 21 April or risk deportation.
In a joint statement on Tuesday, the group claimed their expulsion was an effort to “silence pro-Palestinian voices and political dissent.”
Alexander Gorski, a lawyer specializing in criminal defense and migration who represents two of the protesters in Berlin, stated that he had never encountered a deportation case that cited Staatsräson—the principle that Israel’s security is integral to Germany’s national interest—as a justification for the decision.
