Overview

  • The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reopened two distribution centers in Rafah on Sunday after suspending aid over direct threats from Hamas.
  • Hundreds of thousands rallied worldwide on Saturday, including around 300,000 in Rome, as thousands in Tel Aviv demanded an immediate ceasefire and the return of remaining hostages.
  • Israel’s defense minister directed the military to stop the ship “Madleen,” carrying Greta Thunberg and activists, from delivering aid to Gaza.
  • The Israeli military reported recovering the body of a Thai hostage during a Rafah operation and announced the killing of Asad Abu Scharia, a Hamas commander linked to high-profile abductions.
  • Internal tensions over conscription for ultra-Orthodox Jews have put Prime Minister Netanyahu’s governing coalition at risk of losing its parliamentary majority.
