😡Israel is saying that because Hamas can't find the dead bodies of hostages buried beneath the rubble THEY CAUSED, they will not honor ceasefire deal

Tens of thousands of bodies are buried beneath the rubble. Israel knows this. They caused it. On purpose. And they won't allow fuel or bulldozers in to help locate the bodies. It's a disgusting trap.

This work only survives if we face the truth together.

Family, here’s the truth in one line: Israel is demanding the impossible — return every deceased hostage’s remains — while blocking the fuel, cranes, and bulldozers required to dig through the hellish moonscape it created. Then it points to the “failure” as grounds to keep Rafah closed, throttle aid, and restart the killing under the cover of a ceasefire.

Do you see that photo above? That’s a drone view of northern Gaza. Miles of pulverized neighborhoods. This is where Israel insists remains be recovered, literally BY YESTERDAY, without heavy equipment — and uses the delay to keep the border shut and aid out.

Ceasefire on paper. Siege in practice.

We are 72 hours into a “truce,” and yet airstrikes have continued, families are still dying, and the gate that decides whether infants eat tonight — Rafah — remains locked. Israeli officials now say aid will stay restricted “until the remains are returned.” It’s theater. They know the bodies lie under concrete their bombs laid down. They know recovery requires machinery. They know they’ve banned it.

That’s not compliance. That’s entrapment.

The pretext they built with rubble

Let’s name the chain of causation — slowly, so nobody can pretend not to understand:

• First, Israel leveled whole districts, burying people beneath collapsed apartment towers, schools, and mosques. Including their own hostages.

• Then, it blocked the very equipment needed to lift slabs and clear streets — fuel, cranes, bulldozers, rescue tools.

• Now, it declares the ceasefire “violated” because the remains haven’t been retrieved fast enough.

This is collective punishment in a lab coat. The demand is engineered to fail so the siege can continue.

Objection & Answer

Objection: Hamas agreed to return the dead; failure means the deal is off.
Answer: From day one mediators knew recovery would take time. Israel’s own destruction — and the ban on heavy equipment — make it physically impossible at speed. Blocking excavators while demanding excavations is bad-faith by design.

Objection: We’re only talking about “security measures.”
Answer: A ceasefire that includes airstrikes, closed borders, and starvation rations isn’t security — it’s a continuation of war by other names.

Objection: Aid is going in.
Answer: A trickle is not compliance. The benchmark is the promised scale: Rafah open in both directions, fuel restored, heavy equipment cleared, and malnutrition indicators falling.

What must happen now

• Open Rafah both ways — fully. Not press releases. Trucks, fuel, and the heavy machinery required to recover remains and clear streets.

• Publish the implementation calendar. Day-by-day targets for aid tonnage, excavator entries, prisoner exchanges, and redeployment lines.

• Let the world in. Independent press and humanitarian monitors with free movement — not chaperoned embeds.

• Attach consequences to violations. If bombs fall during a truce or Rafah is shut again, there must be automatic diplomatic, trade, and aid penalties — not condolences after funerals.

The human math they won’t show you

A mother in Rafah doesn’t measure “progress” by podiums in Washington. She measures it in clean water, fuel for generators, formula for her newborn, and whether her family can walk a road without stepping into a mass grave. A can of formula is not charity — it’s medicine. A working excavator is not a concession — it’s the only honest way to keep the promise everyone claims to want kept.

And for those who ask where faith lives in this: “Whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind.” (Qur’an 5:32) Saving lives means opening borders, letting aid through, and allowing the equipment that unearths the dead so families can bury them with dignity and the living can begin again.

Call this what it is

Israel is saying the quiet part out loud: we will keep Gaza starved and sealed until Palestinians deliver what we buried and refuse to let them unearth. That’s not implementation. It’s a disgusting trap — and the world knows it.

Our job is simple: refuse the euphemisms, publish the receipts, and keep pushing aid to the first place it becomes possible. I will not stop.
