   🧵 of ongoing ceasefire things:

   Al Jazeera is reading out the 3 phases of the #ceasefire agreement. Phase 2 would see a permanent #ceasefire after hostages are released.

     My impression from the Miller briefing is that America is sending a STRONG message that America does NOT accept a Rafah invasion and has used stronger language than ever before definitively saying it will prevent all aid from entering the south and America can not accept that. He said it will take HOURS for Israel and America to announce something.

     This IMO will be the biggesst sticking point for Israel’s acceptance #ceasefire #Gaza

     It would end a 17 year blockade.17/17

     Pentagon briefing:

     - reiterating call with Netanyahu
     - reiteration that they cannot and will not speak for the IDF but stresses that they do not support an invasion of Rafah, and “conversations continue”
     - Biden met with the King of Jordan
     - they will not detail the deal

     Aral Balkan repeated this.

     Miller is reiterating that the head of the CIA is now liasing in the Middle East working on a #ceasefire frantically. He also is now “mourning the loss of every journalist in Gaza” and sharply says “now the world sees what is happening.” Good on them for recognizing that finally! 13/13

     Miller is now repeating the lie that Hamas attacked the Shalom crossing yesterday (reports suggest it was an Israeli drone)

     Miller for the 47th time reiterating America does not support a Rafah and invasion and in the bitchiest way possible says “One cannot tell how we will respond” snap #ceasefire

     Literally this is the nicest and least obnoxious I have seen Miller and reporters, the press room is electric with hope 11/11 #ceasefire

     Miller is now explaining about the humanitarian pier and says its intention is mostly to supply the north (I have my doubts) but he is stressing it will not be able to supply a rafah invasion— which again is new from him. #ceasefire

     A reporter just pointed out that Matthew Miller keeps saying “full scale invasion of Rafah” v. A “limited scope invasion of Rafah,” and if America supports either one. He replied that any evacuation at all in Rafah is a catastrophe. He admits there is limited places to go and no effective way to distribute aid. Guys, I have watched this snake 🐍 for months and this is the strongest language from him yet #ceasefire 9/9

     Matthew Miller is really hitting home how aid will not be able to get in with a Rafah invasion. I have never heard him this insistent against an Israeli policy— I don’t know how he would walk this back if Israel declines the #ceasefire 8/8

     Matt Miller is signalling up and down how much the United States will not support a full scale invasion of Rafah— no one has asked if that means weapons supply #7/7 #ceasefire
