Jewish American Families Confront a Generational Divide Over Israel
Ralph Nader - While Biden publicly urges Israel to avoid civilian casualties, he’s sending one hundred 2000 pound bunker busting bombs, among other deadly weaponry, for the genocidal destruction of the people of Gaza.
Guardian - A World Health Organization official in Gaza described the situation on Tuesday as
deteriorating by the hour as Israeli bombing has intensified in the
south of the territory around the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah. “The
situation is getting worse by the hour,” Richard Peeperkorn, WHO
representative on the occupied Palestinian territory, told the media via
a video link from Gaza, Reuters reports.
Vladimir Putin will travel to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday on a rare overseas trip to discuss the Israel-Hamas war as Moscow seeks to reassert Russia’s role in the Middle East. Hamas, which most western countries consider to be a terrorist group, is on good terms with Russia, frequently sending delegations to Moscow. Qatar, the west’s preferred interlocutor with Hamas, has been unable to find the basis for a further hostage swap between Israel and the Palestinian group, the precondition for a second humanitarian pause, so Putin has relatively little to lose by intervening now.
CNN - Top UN officials are warning of an "apocalyptic" situation in Gaza with "no place safe to go" for civilians as the deepening humanitarian crisis sparks international concern. Israel is expanding ground operations to the entire territory to "eliminate" Hamas and has told Palestinians to flee large swaths of southern Gaza, where many had previously sought refuge. But the war-torn region is in the midst of a near-total internet blackout as the last major telecommunications operator said services are completely cut off. This means many Palestinians are unable to communicate with one another or call for help while evacuating, and emergency workers can't coordinate their responses.

Here's what we know about the Houthis and what they want.
