Social media users recently shared a video that allegedly shows a Palestinian putting makeup on kids to stage their death.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating video and found it to be misleading. The video shows genuine scenes of the grief of a bereft mother caressing the faces of her children who were killed by an Israeli airstrike.
The Video Shows Kids Killed By Israel
Misbar’s team noticed a watermark in Arabic showing the copyright holder identified as "Omar Al-Derawi, "a journalist known for his poignant captures from the heart of Gaza.
Omar's Instagram profile, a canvas of his professional endeavors, revealed the original posting of the video on November 8, under the heart- caption, "A Mom bids her children farewell."
On the same day, Omar Al-Dirawi shared another gripping visual from the same locale, with the words "Children are being massacred in Nuseirat now" painting a grim picture of the events unfolding. Nuseirat is as a refugee camp within the Gaza Strip.
Moreover, the object that the woman is holding in her hand is an electronic Misbaha used by Muslims for prayer recitations.
Stalemate in Gaza Peace Negotiations Intensifies as Rafah Prepares for Potential Conflict
In a recent series of discussions held in Cairo, involving key international stakeholders, the quest for a peaceful resolution to the war on Gaza has hit an impasse. Despite the concerted efforts of the United States, Egypt, Israel, and Qatar, the ceasefire talks have concluded without any significant progress. This development comes amidst growing appeals for Israel to reconsider its aggressive stance towards Rafah, a city on the brink of turmoil, housing over a million displaced Palestinians.
Diplomatic Efforts Falter Amidst Rising Tensions
The diplomatic rendezvous in Egypt's capital was marked by the presence of influential figures, including Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, CIA Director William Burns, and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. The agenda was heavily focused on negotiating a ceasefire, ensuring the safety of civilians, and facilitating the influx of humanitarian aid into the beleaguered region. Despite the high-profile nature of the talks and the critical issues at stake, the discussions concluded without reaching a consensus, leaving the fate of Rafah and its inhabitants hanging in the balance.
