The Guardian - The United States has officially closed its Office of Palestinian Affairs in Jerusalem, according to an internal state department memo seen by the Guardian, in effect eliminating the Palestinians’ dedicated diplomatic channel to Washington....
The quick shuttering comes just as Israel acts on plans to expand its military operations in Gaza that have killed hundreds of Palestinians over recent days. More than 100 Palestinians were killed on Friday, and on Monday, Gaza’s health ministry said 136 people had been killed by Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours, driving the total death toll to 53,486. Hamas took about 250 hostages during its October 2023 attack on Israel, which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilian.
