Guardian - Palestinian people cannot pay for the action of Hamas,” the EU’s chief diplomat, Josep Borrell, has said after a meeting of the Union for the Mediterranean Regional Forum involving EU, north African and Middle East foreign ministers in Barcelona. He used a press conference to reiterate his condemnation of the Hamas attack in October but said it was vital that the current truce in Gaza was extended to a permanent one with, he said, 15,000 dead already... Borrell also urged Israel to act within international and humanitarian law.
The four-day truce between Israel and Hamas is set to end today, but both sides say they're open to extending the temporary truce for more prisoner-hostage exchanges. Hamas has released 58 hostages taken during the Oct. 7 attacks, and Israel has released 117 Palestinian prisoners so far. Most hostages and prisoners have been women and children. Another exchange is expected today.
Unprecedented Israeli bombardment lays waste to upscale Rimal, the beating heart of Gaza City
AP News - While most civilians have been able to
flee the combat zone in other wars like Ukraine, Palestinians in Gaza
have nowhere to go. One lawyer, determined to stay in Gaza City, carries
her paralyzed father from place to place to escape bombs. A U.N. worker
shelters with tens of thousands of displaced, retreating to his car for
a sliver of privacy. A writer is trapped between four walls and is
urged by his family to stop documenting the war for their safety.
AP News - Israel says it is dismantling Hamas, the group that unleashed a surprise attack on Oct. 7 that killed around 1,200 people in Israel. Weeks of Israeli bombardment have killed more than 13,000 Palestinians, 70% of them women and children. That’s more than the number of civilians killed in 18 months of war in Ukraine.
