La presidente della Commissione europea Ursula von der Leyen ha incontrato a Vilnius i leader di Estonia, Lettonia e Lituania. Le incursioni di droni russi nello spazio aereo baltico "non sono incidenti isolati", ma parte di una "deliberata strategia" del Cremlino, ha detto la presidente. Intanto, proprio in questo momento di instabilità ai confini con la Russia, Donad Trump fa proclami sul possibile disimpegno nella Nato o su una riduzione consistente degli investimenti. Ma qual è lo stato reale dei fatti? Lo chiediamo ad Alessandro Minuto Rizzo, presidente della Nato Defense College Foundation.A Gaza, dove le IDF hanno appena colpito Mohammad Odeh, capo delle brigate al Qassam, permane una situazione di grande incertezza e mancanza dei beni primari e delle condizioni basiche di sopravvivenza. Ne parliamo con Irdi Memaj, medico di Emergency a Deir al-Balah, e con Kobi Michael, analista del Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy.

The brothers welcome to the show Jehad Abusalim, who grew up in the city of Deir el Balah in the Gaza Strip and now heads the Gaza Genocide Center.  They discuss what it was like to grow up under occupation in Gaza, what normal life was like for a generation under siege, isolated and cut off from the world.  They discuss the ongoing Gaza genocide, still being perpetrated by Israel (though it is no longer being covered in Western media), the conditions for yet again displaced Palestinians living in the aftermath of Israel's destruction of Gaza and in the deliberate limbo covered up by Trump's Orwellian "Board of Peace."  And they take up the question of Gaza's possible futures in the face of brazen indifference and inhumanity.

Dziś w programie przeniesiemy się do Katowic, gdzie zakończył się 18. Europejski Kongres Gospodarczy, gdzie liderzy biznesu i polityki debatowali nad przyszłością światowej gospodarki. Zajrzymy także do Autonomii Palestyńskiej, by sprawdzić, jak wybory samorządowe w Deir al-Balah stają się manifestacją narodowej jedności. Odwiedzimy również polskie szkoły na Wileńszczyźnie, do których dotarł fascynujący Naukobus, a na koniec wyruszymy w podróż do wieków średnich. Nasz gość, mediewistka Zofia Załęska, odkryje przed Państwem tajemnice przedziwnej ikonografii i poczucia humoru dawnych mistrzów. Zapraszam!

Ieri mattina il CENTCOM — U.S. Central Command — ha annunciato il blocco navale di tutti i porti iraniani, in vigore dalle dieci EDT. Il comunicato recita: "sarà applicato imparzialmente alle navi di tutte le nazioni". La parola scelta è "blocco". La stessa parola che Israele applica a Gaza dal 2009: sedici anni di chiusura che la Corte internazionale di giustizia, nel parere consultivo del luglio 2024, ha inserito nel quadro di un'occupazione dichiarata illegale dal diritto internazionale. Il 7 aprile ne è la prova. Al Consiglio di Sicurezza dell'ONU, l'ambasciatore americano Mike Waltz ha condannato il blocco iraniano dello Stretto di Hormuz perché "impedisce l'accesso di aiuti medici e forniture alle crisi umanitarie in Congo, Sudan e Gaza". Gaza nominata come vittima di un blocco da un Paese alleato di quello che la blocca per via navale da sedici anni. Nella stessa settimana, secondo i dati del ministero della salute di Gaza, i morti dall'inizio del "cessate il fuoco" dell'ottobre 2025 hanno superato 738 unità. Ieri, un raid aereo israeliano ha ucciso almeno tre palestinesi nel quartiere di Al Mazraa, a Deir al-Balah, nella Striscia centrale: lo ha comunicato l'ospedale dei martiri di Al-Aqsa. La Global Sumud Flottilla è in mare per rompere esattamente quel blocco. Domenica la nave madre ha lasciato Barcellona, per ricongiungersi con circa cento imbarcazioni in rotta da Italia e Grecia. La street artist Laika ha dipinto sullo scafo Hind Rajab, uccisa da 355 colpi di artiglieria, e Ritaj Rihan, 9 anni, freddata mentre studiava con i compagni di classe. Sotto di loro, la rotta. Due blocchi, una parola, standard opposti. L'ambasciatore Waltz ha concluso: «Nessuno dovrebbe tollerarlo. Stanno tenendo in ostaggio l'economia mondiale a mano armata». Si riferiva a Teheran. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Alya Abu Shawish, mwanamke aliyeko mstari wa mbele kuondoa hatari ya mabomu Gaza  (OVERNIGHT)Hii leo pia hapa katika makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa jijini New York, Marekani, imefanyika hafla ya kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Wanawake ambayo duniani kote iliadhimishwa jana Jumapili. Katika muktadha huo huo ninamualika Anold Kayanda atupeleke Gaza eneo la Palestina linalokaliwa kimabavu na Israel kumwangazia Alya Abu Shawish, Mwanamke anayefanya kazi katika Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kutoa huduma ya kutegua mabomu, UNMASakisaidia kuwaweka salama wenzake katika mojawapo ya mazingira hatari zaidi duniani. Karibu Anold.(Taarifa ya Anold)Asante Flora,Hakika Gaza ni moja ya mazingira hatari duniani kwa sasa. Alya Abu Shawish anaposhuka kwenye gari kabla ya kuingia ofis iza UNMAS zilizoko Deir al-Balah katikatimwa Gaza, anavaa jaketi la kujikinga na risasi.Ndani ya ofisi amesimama mbele ya ramani ya kidijitali, akifuatilia mienendo ya timu za wafanyakazi walioko mitaani zilizosambazwa kote katika ukanda huo wa Gaza ili kufanya kazi za kuondoa mabaki ya vilipuzi vya vita katika eneo hilo.Baada ya mipango yote kukamilika ofisini, sasa Alya Abu anaendesha gari akiwa na wenzake kuelekea kazini nje ya ofisi. Anaeleza akisema,(Sauti ya Alya Abu Shawish) – Sharon“Kazi yangu kama mwanamke katika eneo hili inaonyesha kwamba wanawake wanaweza kuwa na nafasi muhimu katika kuhakikisha usalama na kuleta mabadiliko yanayoonekana, hata katika mazingira hatari na yenye changamoto kubwa zaidi katika Ukanda wa Gaza.”Alya Abu Shawish anaonekana na wenzake mitaani wakifanya kazi. Watoto wanafuata, kwa vyovyote wakitambua kazi muhimu inayofanywa na UNMAS kufanya mazingira yawe salama dhidi ya vilipuzi.Hata hivyo, nyuma ya dhamira hii ya kitaaluma kuna hadithi binafsi inaloakisi hali halisi ya maelfu ya wanawake huko Gaza.(Sauti ya Alya Abu Shawish) – Sharon“Kama mwanamke na mama, nimepitia changamoto nyingi ambazo wanawake wa Kipalestina huko Gaza hukabiliana nazo wakati wa vita hofu, kuhama makazi, uhaba wa mahitaji muhimu, na hali ya kutokuwa na uhakika kila wakati. Kama wanawake wengi hapa, nimelazimika kuilinda familia yangu huku nikikabiliana na hali hizi ngumu.”Licha ya changamoto hizi, Alya Abu Shawish anasema uzoefu wake umeimarisha azma yake ya kuwasaidia wengine na kumhamasisha kufanya kazi katika uwanja ambao mara nyingi huonekana kutawaliwa na wanaume.(Sauti ya Alya Abu Shawish) – Sharon“Uzoefu huu haukunidhoofisha; uliimarisha azma yangu ya kuwasaidia wengine. Ulinitia moyo kufanya kazi katika masuala ya kuondoa mabomu na usalama na UNMAS uwanja ambao mara nyingi huonekana kuwa wa wanaume. Katika jukumu hili, ninachangia kupunguza hatari zinazosababishwa na mabaki ya vilipuzi vya vita na kusaidia jamii kuishi kwa usalama zaidi.”Wanawake wengine katika timu za UNMAS pia hushiriki katika shughuli za kuhamasisha jamii kuhusu hatari za mabaki ya vilipuzi, ambayo sasa yamekuwa moja ya changamoto kubwa zaidi za kibinadamu huko Gaza kadri uharibifu unavyoendelea kuenea. Kwa Abu Shawish, juhudi hizi hubeba ujumbe unaokwenda mbali zaidi ya kazi kwani inaonesha uimara na mnepo.

Hala Rharrit si era dimessa dal Dipartimento di Stato nell'aprile del 2024, in protesta. Aveva messo per iscritto che il genocidio a Gaza avrebbe prodotto una guerra regionale con l'Iran se Washington non avesse contenuto Israele. Nessuno l'aveva ascoltata. Il 28 febbraio 2026, Israele e gli Stati Uniti hanno attaccato l'Iran. Khamenei è morto. La regione brucia. Il 5 marzo, il ministro delle Finanze israeliano Bezalel Smotrich si è recato al confine nord con il Libano e ha pubblicato un video. «Dahiyeh sembrerà presto Khan Younis», ha detto, dopo che l'esercito aveva ordinato l'evacuazione immediata dei sobborghi meridionali di Beirut. Khan Younis: città del sud di Gaza dove l'Agenzia Anadolu documenta oltre 72.000 morti, 172.000 feriti, il 90% delle infrastrutture civili distrutte. Smotrich non ha citato Khan Younis come esempio di tragedia. L'ha usata come unità di misura. Come parametro di produzione bellica. Human Rights Watch ha dichiarato il 5 marzo che l'ordine di evacuazione sui sobborghi di Beirut «solleva gravi rischi di violazioni del diritto internazionale umanitario». La stessa formulazione usata per Gaza. Le stesse organizzazioni. Lo stesso protocollo che in due anni non ha fermato niente. A Gaza, intanto, padre Ibrahim Faltas ha detto all'ANSA il 6 marzo: «Gaza è dimenticata». I valichi restano chiusi. L'ONU è riuscita a far entrare 570.000 litri di diesel da Kerem Shalom, ha dichiarato il portavoce Dujarric, ma Rafah rimane sbarrato. Nei mercati di Deir el-Balah, i civili non fanno più scorte. Sono stanchi di sperare in un confine che si apre e si chiude secondo le esigenze militari altrui. Il genocidio a Gaza non era un episodio isolato: era la prima pagina di un manuale. Smotrich lo ha citato in pubblico come modello. Rharrit lo aveva scritto due anni fa. Non la cercò nessuno. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Centoquarantaquattro. È il numero di giorni consecutivi in cui le forze israeliane hanno violato l'accordo di cessate il fuoco a Gaza. Lo documentano le organizzazioni umanitarie sul campo: attacchi di artiglieria, raid aerei, colpi di arma da fuoco in aree che sulla carta dovrebbero essere protette. Il totale dei morti ha raggiunto 72.116. Dall'accordo ne sono stati uccisi altri 631. I valichi restano chiusi dal 28 febbraio. Riccardo Sartori, infermiere di Emergency a Deir al-Balah, spiega che i farmaci per il parkinson sono esauriti, finiti gli antidolorifici. Gli ospedali hanno carburante per tre giorni. In Cisgiordania, per il quarto giorno consecutivo, l'esercito ha chiuso posti di blocco e ingressi a città e villaggi. Mentre accade tutto questo, ieri il Senato italiano ha approvato il DDL Romeo. Centocinque voti favorevoli. Il testo adotta la definizione IHRA, secondo cui l'antisemitismo è "una certa percezione degli ebrei che può essere espressa come odio". La parola su cui fermarsi è percezione. Non un atto, non un crimine: una percezione. La definizione include tra le possibili manifestazioni di antisemitismo fare paragoni tra la politica israeliana e quella nazista, o criticare lo Stato di Israele come collettività ebraica. Alcune critiche alla condotta di Israele a Gaza diventano, almeno potenzialmente, materia da monitorare. Il PD si è spaccato: Delrio e altri hanno votato sì, il resto si è astenuto. Della Seta ha scritto che è "desolante" che alcuni dem "vi si siano prestati". Da una parte una legge che tutela una percezione. Dall'altra centoquarantaquattro giorni di violazioni, ospedali senza carburante, una minaccia di rioccupazione totale pronunciata da Smotrich con "legittimità internazionale e sostegno americano". Il problema non è aver scelto da che parte stare. È fingere che le due cose non abbiano nulla a che fare l'una con l'altra. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Much like guest Sarah Aziza's beautiful memoir, The Hollow Half, this week's show covers a lot of territory and shines light on multiple topics of interest to memoirists. We explore memoir as art—what that means and whether memoirists should strive for their work to be art per se. Aziza's book is experimental and ambitious, and as such gives this week's episode delves into craft choices and process and more. Aziza shares her family history and how her grandmother started to show up in her dreams—and how this memoir took root and ultimately became the gift it is—timely, urgent, and beautiful. Sarah Aziza is a Palestinian American writer, translator, and artist with roots in ‘Ibdis and Deir al-Balah, Gaza. She is the author of the genre-bending memoir The Hollow Half, winner of the Palestine Book Award and named a Most Anticipated and Best Book of the Year by Vulture, Vanity Fair, Literary Hub, Elle, Electric Literature, and Mizna, among others.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, the head of Realign For Palestine, an Atlantic Council project that challenges entrenched narratives in the Israel and Palestine discourse. This week, we dive into the 12-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. The technocratic council is headed by former Palestinian Authority deputy planning minister Ali Shaath. It is tasked with running daily affairs on the ground and providing services for Gazans in place of the Hamas terror group. The committee held its first meeting in Cairo on Thursday, but is currently barred by Israel from entering the Gaza Strip and its work remains in limbo as the Board of Peace begins its activities in Davos this week. We hear how the names on the technocratic council are relatively consensus figures -- among Gazan Palestinians -- and learn about Israel's objections to this committee and Trump's naming of Qatar and Turkey to the Gaza Executive Board. Alkhatib delves into the lack of popular Hamas support throughout the Strip, but points out the massive enforcement problem that the committee will face as the armed terrorist group maintains its hold. And so this week, we ask Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

This includes the technocratic Board of Peace, which currently has six countries on board from Europe and the Middle East. Magid notes that while senior aides to US President Donald Trump are sometimes frustrated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding Middle East policies, the American leader's strategy is to keep the relationship warm, usually siding with the Israeli prime minister to keep moving forward on the various issues. After years of being stuck with third-generation cellphone service in the West Bank due to Israel's security control, Magid reports, Palestinians will now have access to 4G service.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Legal and settlements reporter Jeremy Sharon joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Defense Minister Israel Katz told settlements leaders on Tuesday that, “With God’s help when the time comes, we will also establish… pioneer groups in northern Gaza, in place of the settlements that were evacuated.” He later walked back his statements, but not before Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich doubled down on them and also pushed for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to convince US President Donald Trump to recognize annexation of the West Bank in his upcoming US trip. We dive into the issues of Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and West Bank in the first half of the program. The IPC famine monitoring organization stated on Friday that food security conditions in the entire Gaza Strip “remain critical,” in a new report covering the second half of October and all of November that classified the territory as being in its “Emergency” Phase 4 category — the fourth highest of its five levels of food insecurity. Sharon explains Israel's criticism of the report and raises the question of whether the Hamas-run Gazan Health Ministry has been manipulating its numbers of war casualties. Earlier this month, the High Court of Justice ruled unanimously 7-0 to annul the government’s decision to fire Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, asserting that the government had failed to provide legal justification for its decision to change the way an AG is fired, and determining that the new system it designed was fundamentally flawed. Sharon reviews the decision and updates us on the ongoing existential crisis between the government and the court. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with legal expert on genocide Menachem Rosensaft. Rosensaft is an adjunct professor of law at Cornell Law School and lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School, where he teaches the law of genocide -- since 2008 at Cornell and since 2011 at Columbia. A dedicated pro-Israel US Jewish leader, Rosensaft is the general counsel emeritus of the World Jewish Congress and has been part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, most notably sitting with PLO leader Yasser Arafat alongside four other American Jewish leaders in 1988, after which Arafat said he recognized the State of Israel's right to exist. Rosensaft discusses the important legal and rhetorical distinction between genocide and crimes against humanity or war crimes, feeling that the definition's precision is being diluted in popular use. We learn about the history and evolution of Raphael Lemkin's definition of genocide and the ripple effect it has caused. He emphasizes that Israel cannot be held out as the sole villain in the ongoing war, and explains how Hamas exhibits genocidal intent and ideology. However, the statements from a handful of far-right Israeli politicians is making South Africa's December 2023 legal case accusing the Jewish state of genocide much harder to win. Finally, he rails against the Israeli government's weaponization of the word "antisemitism" for all dissent against the Jewish state, but doubles down on the need for an ongoing peace process leading to a Palestinian state. And so this week, we ask genocide legal expert Menachem Rosensaft, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

Katie talks to Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed and American journalist Abby Martin about the U.S. backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, Trump's disgusting ban on visas for Palestinian children in need of medical treatment and his shielding of Israeli sex criminals. Abubaker Abed is a 22-year-old Palestinian journalist from Deir al-Balah, Gaza. He evacuated Gaza suffering from malnutrition and under threat for his reporting on Israel's genocide. Abed describes himself as an “accidental war correspondent” and hoped to become a sports journalist and commentator before the start of the war, but spent much of the last two years reporting on daily death and destruction. He is now based in Ireland. Abby Martin is a journalist, the host and creator of The Empire Files, director of Gaza Fights For Freedom and the forthcoming documentary Earth's Greatest Enemy. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: https://x.com/kthalps Follow Katie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthalps Follow Katie on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@kthalps

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. This week, as Israel marks the beginning of the Disengagement from Gaza 20 years ago, we speak with former Brooklynite Anita Tucker, 79, who helped settle Nezer Hazani in 1977 and was forcibly removed from her home in 2005 alongside her husband, children and grandchildren. Affectionately called "the celery lady" due to her flourishing Gush Katif farm, Tucker describes how her young children were the deciding factor for staking their tent pegs in the barren land of Nezer Hazani after she viewed them "sledding" down the dunes on garbage bags. This same inert sand allowed the residents to grow their trademark, bug-free Gush Katif vegetables with the newest agricultural technology -- drip irrigation. She talks about warm relationships with her Arab neighbors -- until talk of "peace" came and the empowerment of PLO leader Yasser Arafat. She describes how once Arafat established a foothold in Gaza, he hanged the leadership of Deir al-Balah, who were Tucker’s close personal friends. She speaks about the terror attacks the community absorbed, but the ideological faith that their community was protecting the rest of the Land of Israel. Former prime minister Ariel Sharon's announcement of a unilateral pullout from Gaza came as a betrayal and we hear how the youth protested against this move until the very end. But after the pullout, the former Gush Katif residents experienced a second betrayal in that they had to fight to get compensation and rebuild their lives. Tucker and much of the original settlement refounded Nezer Hazani seven years later inside the State of Israel, but, as she says, these are their "houses," they are not their "homes." Tucker speaks to the community's yearning to resettle the Gaza Strip and how concrete plans have been presented to the Israeli government during what the potential resettlers view as a window of opportunity. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

C dans l'air du 23 juillet 2025 - Famine et destruction à Gaza... Que cherche Israël ? - "Une famine de masse se propage dans la bande de Gaza, nos collègues et les personnes que nous aidons dépérissent", alertent ce mercredi, dans un communiqué, plus d'une centaine d'ONG, dont Médecins sans frontières, Amnesty International ou encore Oxfam International. Elles appellent à un cessez-le-feu immédiat, à l'ouverture de tous les points de passage terrestres et à la libre circulation de l'aide humanitaire dans le territoire palestinien, assiégé et dévasté par plus de vingt et un mois de guerre menée par Israël après l'attaque sans précédent du Hamas sur son sol, le 7 octobre 2023.Le secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, a également vivement condamné hier "l'horreur" dans la bande de Gaza, où les morts et les destructions ont atteint un niveau "sans équivalent dans l'histoire récente". "La malnutrition explose. La famine frappe à toutes les portes", a-t-il déclaré lors d'une réunion du Conseil de sécurité. Le même jour, le directeur de l'hôpital Al-Chifa, Mohammed Abou Salmiya, a rapporté la mort de 21 enfants de malnutrition en seulement 72 heures. "À chaque instant, de nouveaux cas arrivent", a-t-il averti. À l'hôpital Nasser, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza, des images de l'AFP montrent des parents en larmes devant le corps squelettique de leur fils de 14 ans, mort de faim. L'Agence France-Presse fait également part de son inquiétude pour ses dix journalistes toujours présents sur place. "Ils subissent la famine et peuvent mourir de faim d'un jour à l'autre", alerte la Société des journalistes de l'AFP. D'après Reporters sans frontières (RSF), plus de 200 journalistes ont été tués à Gaza par l'armée israélienne depuis le début du conflit. "Au rythme où les journalistes tombent, il n'y aura bientôt plus personne pour vous informer", prévient RSF.Dans ce contexte, la France hausse le ton. Par la voix de son ministre des Affaires étrangères, Jean-Noël Barrot, elle demande à Israël de laisser entrer les journalistes dans la bande de Gaza et condamne "avec la plus grande fermeté" l'extension des raids. Lundi, Paris, Londres et plus de vingt autres pays ont également appelé à la fin immédiate de la guerre à Gaza et dénoncé le modèle d'acheminement de l'aide humanitaire organisé par Israël.Du côté des États-Unis, l'émissaire spécial Steve Witkoff s'apprête à se rendre au Moyen-Orient. Son objectif : obtenir un nouveau cessez-le-feu et établir un corridor humanitaire sécurisé. Mais les dernières négociations indirectes entre Israël et le Hamas, en vue d'une trêve de 60 jours et de la libération des otages, n'ont pas enregistré de progrès. Malgré l'optimisme affiché par Donald Trump en début de mois, Benyamin Netanyahou semble jouer à fond la carte de l'escalade militaire. Après avoir bombardé des sites nucléaires iraniens en juin et mené dernièrement des frappes en Syrie, l'armée israélienne a lancé une nouvelle offensive à Deir al-Balah, dans le centre de la bande de Gaza — une localité jusqu'ici épargnée, en raison de la présence supposée des 49 otages israéliens détenus par le Hamas.Pour ajouter à la confusion, des divergences de fond semblent apparaître sur l'avenir de la bande de Gaza entre Benyamin Netanyahu et le général Eyal Zamir, le chef d'état-major de Tsahal. Parallèlement, un deuxième parti ultra-orthodoxe vient de quitter le gouvernement israélien, fragilisant un peu plus une coalition gouvernementale de plus en plus divisée.Alors, quelle est la situation dans la bande de Gaza ?

Un attacco di terra ha per la prima volta colpito Deir al-Balah, unico centro abitato di Gaza finora relativamente intoccato, mentre a Doha si lavora per un cessate il fuoco, chiesto da 28 Paesi esplicitamente in una lettera indirizzata al governo israeliano.

Welcome to The Times of Israel’s Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what’s happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Editor David Horovitz joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today’s episode. Britain and 27 Western nations, including Australia, Canada, France, and Italy, said in a joint statement Monday that the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza “must end now,” arguing civilians’ suffering has “reached new depths.” The letter comes at a time of continued mass casualty events in the vicinity of aid distribution sites and on the day of expanded military operations in the Strip, in Deir al-Balah. How seriously is Israel taking this harshly worded appeal? French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot urged Israel to allow foreign press into the Gaza Strip. His statement came after The Journalists Association for Agence France Presse (AFP) said that its freelancer reporters in the Gaza Strip are at serious risk of starvation, and that “without intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die.” Horovitz discusses Israel’s near-total ban on Israeli and foreign press entering Gaza following Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack and the ban’s repercussions. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party will decide Wednesday on a replacement for MK Yuli Edelstein as head of the powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee over his refusal to advance a bill enshrining sweeping military service exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox. We talk about Likud faction chairman Ofir Katz’s unusual announcement that he had decided to “hold elections” for the position and that he was taking nominations from within the party for Edelstein’s replacement.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Israeli military said this morning that it was set to begin ground operations in Deir al-Balah for the first time since the start of the war, issuing an evacuation order for Palestinians in the southwest of the city in the central Gaza Strip. Deir al-Balah is one of the few places in the Strip where the military has not yet operated with ground troops because it believed Hamas to be holding hostages there, though it has conducted airstrikes in the city. Fabian spells out scenarios why the IDF is now ready to operate there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement late Thursday expressing its regret after IDF tank fire killed three civilians in Gaza’s only Catholic church, heeding a demand from US President Donald Trump, who angrily phoned the Israeli premier over the incident. Following the fatal strike, the Latin patriarch, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the highest-ranking Catholic official in Jerusalem, entered the Gaza Strip on Friday alongside Theophilos III, the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem. Fabian describes the events that led to the accidental shelling. Dozens of Gazans were reportedly killed near aid distribution sites in the past few days. The Israeli military said it had fired warning shots at suspects who approached its troops after they did not heed calls to stop, about a kilometer away from an aid site that was not active at the time.The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group that runs the aid site, said there were no incidents or fatalities there on Saturday and that it has repeatedly warned people not to travel to its distribution points in the dark. Fabian discusses the refusals from the IDF and the GHF for reporters to visit the sites and help clear up the tangled narratives. Israel is preparing to send medical equipment and medicine to a hospital in the Druze-majority city of Sweida, in southern Syria, after days of violence left an estimated 900 people dead and the medical facility badly damaged, the Health Ministry announced on Saturday. We hear about the IDF's involvement in the Syrian province over the past week and how hundreds of Israeli Druze have breached the border -- sometimes repeatedly. What does this mean about Israel's security along the border? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The CEO of Gaza aid group Project Hope tells Newshour there is ‘no justification' for the killing of civilians seeking medical care, after an Israeli strike killed 15 Palestinians, including ‘at least 8 children', waiting outside its clinic in central Gaza. The IDF said it had been targeting a Hamas fighter who took part in the October 7th attack.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman and reporter Ariela Karmel join host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. As hostage family members met with members of the Trump administration in the White House on Tuesday, Berman discusses the latest developments in the hostage negotiations, as Hamas continues to leverage the remaining living hostages for political gain while negotiators say Hamas must accept US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff's latest proposal. He also looks at Iran's rejection of the nuclear deal proposal, after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the US proposal for a nuclear agreement went against the country’s national interest of continuing to enrich uranium. Berman notes that Iran wants a deal of some kind, particularly one that will protect them against future Israeli attacks, and is continuing to negotiate, with another round slated for this weekend. Berman describes one of the aid sites in Gaza that was created by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, and the complications of funneling Gazans into the space to receive their aid packages. He notes that the aid centers are closed today to fine-tune the process and prepare safe access routes after the IDF opened fire toward Palestinians who had approached troops after straying off a pre-approved path for reaching a Rafah distribution site. Berman also looks at Spain and its decision to cancel another arms deal with Israel, spiking a $325 million system that would have been developed in Spain by Pap Tecnos, a subsidiary of Israel’s Rafael Advance Defense Systems. Berman discusses that Spain is a long-time critic of Israel’s policies toward Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and that it may be following other European countries with this step. Karmel speaks about ongoing government settlement policies that incentivize Israelis to move to the West Bank due to rising housing costs inside Israel, and how that situation has been concretized by members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government. She also relates the launch of a book by released hostage Eli Sharabi, the first book by a former hostage, and his determination to keep living despite the personal tragedies he has experienced.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces announced the dismissal of the deputy commander of the Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit over the March 23 incident in which 15 medics were killed after his forces opened fire on a convoy of ambulances and emergency vehicles in southern Gaza’s Rafah. Fabian explains the findings of a high-level IDF probe. The Lebanese army announced Sunday that it had foiled a planned rocket attack from Lebanon at Israel for the first time since a November ceasefire cut short a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. We learn about what steps the Lebanese Armed Forces are currently taking to fulfill the terms of the ceasefire. On Saturday, for the first time since the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Strip on March 18, a soldier was killed inside the Strip. The deadly incident took place during work to clear the area close to the border of Hamas infrastructure, including tunnels, as part of efforts to expand Israel’s buffer zone — which now comprises over 30 percent of the Strip. Fabian discusses the IDF's recent activities ahead of his IDF embed to the Morag Corridor today. We learn about the IDF's Bedouin tracker units and hear about an attempt from several Israeli civilians to enter the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
