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. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump at 1 p.m. local time at the White House. The two leaders are expected to discuss the new tariffs Trump imposed on Israel, efforts to roll back Iran and its proxy network and hostage talks with Hamas. Taking each point in turn, Magid fill us in on what to look out for from this spontaneous trip and what Netanyahu hopes to accomplish. Hamas is prepared to release all of the remaining hostages at once in exchange for a permanent ceasefire, a senior Palestinian official familiar with the ongoing truce talks told Magid last week. Magid was approached by a Hamas figure who resides outside of Gaza, who wants Israelis to know that amid Israel’s longstanding rejection of this type of trade, Hamas is still prepared to release a number of hostages as part of a renewed temporary ceasefire. We hear more. The Hebrew name of a spotted orange butterfly has been changed to honor murdered hostage Ariel Bibas by the Academy of the Hebrew Language, the Bibas family announced Friday. The academy last week officially informed the family, and on Thursday hand-delivered a letter addressed to Bibas’s father, Yarden — who was also taken hostage but released in February under a ceasefire deal — of the final decision to rename Melitaea ornata (eastern knapweed fritillary). Using one of the biblical names of Jerusalem, Ariel, the name of the butterfly was replaced in Hebrew from Kitmit Yerushalayim (Orange Jerusalem) to Kitmit Ariel (Orange Ariel) in honor of the four-year-old. Borschel-Dan explains the back story behind this change. Please see today's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Bombardment intensifies in Gaza as Israel strikes shelter and home Israel's latest raids in Gaza have left three more Palestinians dead and several others wounded, bringing the death toll during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr to 13. Air strikes hit a shelter in Deir al-Balah and an evacuated home in Khan Younis, while artillery and naval fire added to the casualties. Witnesses report intense Israeli bombardment across northern and southern Gaza, signaling escalating violence. Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed over 50,400 Palestinians and has wounded over 114,500 since October 2023, according to figures released by the Palestinian Health Ministry in the enclave. Taiwan scrambles defenses as China conducts large-scale drills Tensions skyrocket as China encircles Taiwan with extensive military drills, simulating precision strikes and a blockade. Taiwan responded by scrambling aircraft and ships, deploying missile systems in the region. The Chinese drills follow US pledges to bolster deterrence in the region, with Washington calling Beijing's actions "aggressive." The European Union has urged restraint, while tensions between China and Taiwan, fueled by history and geopolitics, remain a potential flashpoint. Myanmar earthquake death toll surpasses 2,700 as crisis deepens Tragedy unfolds in Myanmar as the death toll from Friday's catastrophic 7.7-magnitude earthquake surpasses 2,700—and is still climbing. Thousands remain injured and missing, while rescue teams struggle against time. Miraculously, a 63-year-old woman was pulled alive from the rubble after 91 hours. Aid is trickling in, but with civil war complicating relief efforts, millions are at risk. The looming monsoon season and fears of disease outbreaks add to the crisis. US lawmaker delivers longest Senate speech to protest Trump US Senator Cory Booker made history with the longest speech in Senate history, delivering a fiery 25-hour, five-minute protest against President Donald Trump's “unconstitutional” actions. Standing firm without breaks, Booker criticised Trump's cost-cutting policies and executive overreach, warning of the damage to American democracy. The New Jersey senator, recalling the iconic scene from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, energised his fellow Democrats while urging resistance to Trump's agenda. “The power of the people is greater than the people in power,” he concluded, igniting the opposition. SpaceX launches Fram2 mission on historic polar orbit journey SpaceX has launched the Fram2 mission, marking the first-ever crewed flight to orbit Earth's poles! Aboard the Crew Dragon, billionaire Chun Wang, filmmaker Jannicke Mikkelsen, robotics expert Rabea Rogge, and explorer Eric Philips are set for a thrilling three-to-five-day journey. Unlike traditional launches, this southward trajectory required extra power, pushing limits in space travel. The crew will conduct 22 experiments while braving the ultimate extreme environment. "We're not your typical NASA astronauts," Mikkelsen said. While requiring immense power, the mission promises groundbreaking polar observations and human adaptation research.

Eleanor Goldfield opens the program, speaking with Gaza physician Khalil Khalidy about continuing aggression by Israel, despite the supposed Gaza cease-fire. He also explains how decades of Israeli occupation and travel restrictions have split Palestinian populations from one another, not only geographically, but also culturally. Later, Eleanor and Mickey Huff discuss recent under-reported or mis-reported stories, as well as corporate media's propensity to “normalize” abusive behavior the by U.S. government. Khalil Khalidy is an orthopedist in Deir al-Balah, Gaza.   The post Gaza's Reality, Propaganda, and the Fight for Justice appeared first on KPFA.

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. Eli Sharabi, 52, Or Levy, 34, and Ohad Ben Ami, 56, are back home in Israel after 491 days of captivity. Sharabi was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be’eri when Hamas terrorists rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, 2023. His wife and daughters were murdered in their home’s safe room and he and his brother Yossi were taken captive. Brother Yossi has since been confirmed dead and Hamas is holding his body. Or Levy, 34, was kidnapped from the Supernova rave near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7. His wife Eynav was killed, and their now three-year-old son Almog has been staying with his grandparents since. Ohad Ben Ami, was kidnapped from Be’eri. His wife Raz Ben Ami was also abducted, and released as part of a week-long ceasefire in November 2023. We learn about initial health assessments and hear about the ceremony this morning, in which Hamas forced the men to speak onstage in Dir El Balak and thank the terror organization for their "good treatment." We discuss how the IDF is still operating in parts of the Gaza Strip and what is meant to happen in the next two weeks of phase 1 of the already mediated deal, even as phase 2 is still in process. Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi on Friday to reprimand the head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, after he reportedly warned during a military assessment meeting about potential security risks relating to US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip and displace its population. Fabian weighs in on this incident and what it may signify. We discusses what is happening on the ground in the West Bank as the IDF continues its almost three-week ongoing intensive counter-terrorism operation there. The Israeli Air Force carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Thursday night, targeting weapons storage sites in the Nabatieh area and the Beqaa Valley. Fabian updates us on the extended truce in Lebanon and expected next steps ahead of the February 18 deadline.Please see today's ongoing live blog for more updates.

After 15 months of devastating conflict, a ceasefire agreement has been reached between Israel and Hamas, and three female hostages – Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher - have been released and are now back in Israel. This release is the first of several expected over the next six weeks, with a total of 33 hostages to be returned. Ninety Palestinian prisoners were released overnight in exchange for the hostages, the Israeli prison service has said - most of them women and teenage boys. The UN estimates that 1.9 million people in Gaza have been internally displaced since the start of the most recent conflict, some 90% of the population. The humanitarian situation remains critical, with widespread destruction and significant damage to infrastructure including hosptials and severe shortages of food, fuel, medicine, and shelter. Datshiane Navanayagam speaks to BBC Chief Correspondent Lyce Doucet. We also hear from Ghada Al-Kourd in Deir al-Balah in the centre of the Gaza strip, and Sharone Lifschitz, whose parents were taken hostage by Hamas in October 2023.Geneticists from Trinity College Dublin and archaeologists from Bournemouth University have found evidence of female political and social empowerment during Britain's Iron Age. DNA sampled from a burial site in Dorset shows that two-thirds of the women were closely related, suggesting that women lived in the same communities and passed on their land and wealth to their daughters, while unrelated men tended to join the community from elsewhere. This type of social structure, known as “matrilocality” is the first documented instance in European pre-history and challenges the assumption that most societies were patrilocal. Dr Lara Cassidy, an Assistant Professor of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin who led the research, discusses the findings. President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated today in Washington D.C. It is of course his second term, having previously served as the 45th US president, he will now also become the 47th. So what will a second Trump presidency mean for women, both in the US and around the world? Datshiane is joined by Jennifer Ewing from Republicans Overseas and the BBC's Holly Honderich to discuss.Elise Downing is known for running 5,000 miles self-supported around the British coast over the course of 10 months. She was not only the youngest person, but also the only female to have completed the challenge. Along the way she saw Britain at its wild and wonderful best. She has now written Walk Britain, packed with inspiring car-free ideas on how to get out and explore stunning locations – from the Cornish coast to the Yorkshire Dales and the Isle of Arran.  She joins Datshiane to talk about some of the 90 different routes across that can be completed on foot, all accessible by public transport.Presented by Datshiane Navanayagam Producer: Louise Corley

Israel greift fast täglich Ziele im Gazastreifen an. Am Samstag wurde ein Spital in Deir al Balah im Zentrum des Landes zur Zielscheibe. Barbara Trattnig arbeitet als medizinische Koordinatorin für Ärzte ohne Grenzen in diesem Spital. Sie erzählt, was "Spital" unter diesen Umständen bedeutet. Weitere Themen: Permanencen sind Grosspraxen, die längere Öffnungszeiten haben und Notfälle von Spitälern entlassten sollen. Wenn eine Permanence Patientinnen und Patienten zu Randzeiten behandelt, verrechnet sie zusätzliche Pauschalen. Nun hat das Bundesgericht entschieden, dass diese Praxen keine Zuschläge mehr verrechnen dürfen.

Hali Gaza inaendelea kuwa tete wakati ucheleweshwji wa kuhamisha wagonjwa hususan watoto wanaohitaji msaada wa haraka wa huduma za afya imekuwa ni hukumu ya kifo kwao huku maelfu ya watu wakiendelea kukosa mahitaji ya muhimu ya kila siku ikiwemo chakula kama mkate, yameonya leo mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF limeonya kwamba idadi ya watoto wanaohamishwa Gaza kwa ajili ya huduma za dharura za matibabu imeshuka sana hadi kufikia mtoto mmoja kwa siku na kusema kiwango hiki kikiendelea itachukua zaidi ya miaka 7 kuhamisha watoto 2500 wanaohitaji huduma ya dharura ya matibabu.Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari mjini Geneva Uswis msemaji wa UNICEF James Elder amesema “matokeo yake watoto wanakufa Gaza sio tu kutokana na mabomu na risasi na makombora yanayofurusmishwa lakini kwa sababu hata kama miujiza inatokea , hata kama mabomu yanalipuka na nyumba kuporomoka, na vifo kuongezeka watoto wananusurika, lakini kisha wanazuiliwa kuondoka Gaza Kwenda kupokea huduma za afya zitakazookoa maisha yao.”Ameongeza kuwa tangu Januari hadi Mei mwaka huu kwa wastan watoto 296 walihamishwa kwa mwezi kwenda kupata matibabu lakini tangu kufungwa kivuko cha Rafah idadi imeshuka hadi watoto 22 kwa mwezi.Kwa upande wake shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la msaada kwa wakimbizi wa Kipalestina UNRWA linasema maisha ya kawaida yanazidi kuwa jinamizi kwani kukidhi mahitaji ya msingi kama chakula ni mtihani mkubwa wengi mathalani katika mji wa Deir al-Balah hata mkate ambao ni chakula kikuu kupatikana ni changamoto,Kila mtu katika Ukanga wa Gaza anakabiliwa na hatari ya baa la njaa kutokana na kuendelea kwa mashambulizi ya mabomu, ghasia, kuharibiwa kwa mashamba na wahudumu wa kibinadamu kushindwa kuwafikia wenye uhitaji.Wataalam wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa haki za binadamu nao wamesema wanahofia hali mbaya ya Wapalestina wenye ulemavu ambao wamekwama Gaza, wakionya kwamba watu hao wenye ulemavu wanakabiliwa na hatari za ulinzi ikiwemo kutoepuka kifo na majeraha wakati wa mashambulizi ya vikosi vya Israel na hili ni janga juu ya janga wamesema.Nalo shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuratibu misaada ya kibinadamu na masuala ya dharura OCHA likimulika Ukingo wa Magharibi limesema “Makumi ya jamii zinakabiliwa na ongezeko la mashambulizi na vikwazo vya kufikia ardhi yao wakati wa mavuno ya mizeituni ya mwaka huu. Kati ya matukio yote yanayohusiana na walowezi, matukio 104 yamesababisha hasara au uharibifu mkubwa wa mali tangu kuanza kwa mwezi huu wa Oktoba ”.

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2024! Hace un año comenzaron los bombardeos sobre la franja de Gaza. A esos primeros ataques, realizados con artillería y desde aviones de la fuerza aérea israelí, le sucedió la invasión terrestre que comenzó a finales de octubre. En principio se centraron en la capital, la ciudad de Gaza, por lo que las autoridades israelíes pidieron a la población civil que se trasladase al sur del Río Habesor para evitar ser víctima de los bombardeos, que eran muy intensos. Pero en ese momento la aviación israelí ya había comenzado a atacar desde el aire las ciudades del sur hacia donde huían miles de gazatíes provenientes del norte. Para comienzos de diciembre aproximadamente la mitad de la ciudad de Gaza y ciertas zonas de las ciudades de Jan Yunis, Deir al-Balah y Rafah ya estaban en ruinas. Fue entonces cuando el ejército de Israel decidió avanzar hacia el sur con idea de alcanzar la frontera con Egipto, algo que consiguieron a principios de verano creando así el corredor de Filadelfia, un pasillo controlado por los israelíes para evitar que Hamas recibiese refuerzos desde el otro lado. Hoy buena parte de la franja está ocupada. Junto al de Filadelfia hay otro corredor, el de Netzarim que separa la capital del resto del territorio. La devastación es ubicua. Se calcula que más de 200.000 viviendas han resultado destruidas junto con, aproximadamente, el 70% de las carreteras. En en norte la situación es aún peor, ahí en torno al 70% de los edificios están dañados o en ruinas. Según Oxfam solo 17 de los 36 hospitales que había en Gaza antes de la guerra siguen operando de forma parcial y sometidos a la falta crónica de suministros, fluido eléctrico, agua y comida. Distritos enteros han sido arrasados y son completamente inhabitables. Los campos de cultivo, que ya eran insuficientes para una población tan numerosa, están abandonados. Se estima que el 90% de la población se encuentra desplazada, es decir, casi dos millones de personas que se apiñan en campamentos de tiendas improvisados donde reciben ayuda de la ONU. Para el Gobierno israelí no queda otro remedio. Quieren acabar con Hamas y consideran que este es el único modo de hacerlo. Aseguran haber tenido éxito en su empeño ya que, según ellos, Hamas ha quedado tan debilitado que no puede funcionar como una fuerza organizada. Pero, a la vista de que los combates prosiguen, las reservas de Hamas no parecen tener fin. Eso obliga a los israelíes a volver sobre áreas ya despejadas lo que ocasiona nuevas evacuaciones. El conflicto se alarga sine die y es un hecho que las tropas israelíes se han metido en un círculo vicioso del que les va a ser muy difícil salir. Entretanto la guerra continúa y con ella la crisis humanitaria. El aspecto de la franja de Gaza es muy distinto al que tenía hace un año. Fotografías tomadas por satélite y sobre el terreno dan fe de la devastación generalizada y de las difíciles condiciones de vida dentro de la franja. Gaza es un inmenso campo de batalla en el que dos millones de personas tratan de sobrevivir diariamente. Hoy en La ContraCrónica vamos a realizar un recorrido gráfico y fotográfico sobre lo que era y lo que es la franja de Gaza. Las fotografías y mapas que iremos viendo podéis encontrarlas en la zona de comunidad en el caso de que estéis escuchando este programa a través de Ivoox, o directamente en pantalla si lo estáis escuchando a través de YouTube.

*) Israel escalates, bombards southern Beirut with new air strikes Israel has launched air strikes in the southern suburbs of Beirut, significantly escalating the already tense regional dynamics. Lebanese media confirmed five strikes hitting southern Beirut and its outskirts. The Israeli military stated that the strikes targeted Hezbollah weapons warehouses and infrastructure, with prior warnings issued to minimise civilian casualties. No official information has been released from Lebanon regarding casualties, though ambulances were seen rushing to the scene. *) Israeli strike on Gaza mosque kills at least 18 Palestinians, injures many An Israeli air strike hit a mosque in central Gaza early Sunday, killing at least 18 Palestinians and injuring many others, according to medical officials. The mosque, located near al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, was sheltering displaced Palestinians. Gaza's death toll is approaching 42,000 due to Israel's indiscriminate bombardments. Israel is also facing a genocide trial for its actions in Gaza. *) Israel destroys 79 percent of Gaza mosques, several churches Gaza's Ministry of Religious Affairs reports that Israeli military strikes have destroyed 79 percent of the region's mosques, damaging 814 out of 1,245. Churches and cemeteries have also been affected, with losses estimated at $350 million. The ministry accuses Israeli forces of desecrating graves and killing 238 of its employees. *) Pakistan capital locked down as former PM Imran Khan supporters rally Pakistani capital Islamabad remains on lockdown as security forces flood the streets and mobile internet is cut off. Supporters of jailed ex-PM Imran Khan attempted protests with small convoys entering the capital despite heavy government resistance. Khan, barred from the upcoming elections, praised his followers on X for their "resilience and courage." PTI supporters, defying a crackdown, faced tear gas and roadblocks while rallying from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to the capital. Troops have been deployed to maintain order amidst the unrest. *) DRC launches large-scale vaccination campaign against mpox The Democratic Republic of Congo, the epicentre of a global mpox outbreak, has kicked off a mass vaccination campaign in Goma. The first doses were administered to hospital staff, with the general population set to receive the vaccine starting Monday. Despite limited resources, the Health Ministry aims to vaccinate as many people as possible to curb the virus's spread.

The voices of Palestinians in Gaza are some of the most censored in the world. When not killed outright, they are silenced by purposeful omission, in order to support Israel's narrative. It is therefore vital that alternative media work to find and platform these voices and that people who are not fooled by pro-Israel propaganda engage with them, share them, and allow them to inform our actions. This week Eleanor Goldfield sits down with Dr. Khalil Khalidy, an orthopedic doctor in Gaza. His testimony is necessary, powerful, and understandably distressing. We are therefore including a content warning for this week's show, as Dr. Khalidy does not sugarcoat his lived experiences. The following program includes descriptions of an ongoing genocide and of psychological and physical suffering from the perspective of a doctor trying to work in abominable conditions with little to no supplies. Khalil Khalidy is an orthopedist in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. He is also trained in psychology.   The post Voices from Palestine: A Doctor's Testimony from Gaza appeared first on KPFA.

On Monday, September 30th, an Israeli airstrike in Deir al-Balah killed Wafa al-Udaini, her husband and two of her children. Wafa was a founder of the October 16 group, a mentor to young journalists and media professionals in Gaza and especially worked to highlight the voices of women impacted by the Israeli occupation. Wafa was the 174th journalist to be killed by Israel in Gaza since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza just under a year ago.Romana Rubeo wrote at the Palestine Chronicle, “Wafa's writing captured the essence of why we do what we do on a daily basis for years: amplifying Palestinian voices, and not any voices, but those that reflect the spirit of the Palestinian people, their defiance of injustice, their quest for freedom, and their courage in word and action.”Long-time listeners of this show may remember that we had Wafa on twice. First, in April 2023, she joined us to explain how the mass protests happening in Israel against Benjamin Netanyahu were about internal Israeli matters, and not concerned with the liberation of Palestinians. “So for us as Palestinians, we see that the occupation has one face, they are all the same, even if it is a far right government or a left-right government or any, it is occupation at the end.” she told us.She then came on the show a few months later for our October 11th 2023 episode, immediately after the resistance movement launched Al Aqsa Flood, to give an on-the-ground report on the Israeli bombardment, its use of white phosphorus and how people viewed the resistance.For today's episode, we'll be revisiting our past conversations with Wafa as we discuss the current and rapidly-escalating situation. We dedicate this episode to Wafa al-Udaini and her family.Support the show

*) Israel kills over two dozen Palestinians across Gaza Israel's latest air strikes on Gaza since Sunday morning have killed at least 25 Palestinians and left many others wounded, according to the Civil Defence. The attacks happened in Beit Lahia, Jabalia, Gaza City, Nuseirat camp and Deir al Balah. Israel's war on Gaza has now entered its 360th day, and so far, it's claimed the lives of at least 41,595 Palestinians. On top of that, over 800 people have been killed in Israel's bombings across Lebanon since September 23. *) Israel bombs key ports, power plants in Yemen Israel has also stepped up its strikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled areas after the Houthi group fired missiles at Israel in the last two days. According to the group's health ministry, four people were killed and 33 others wounded in the attacks. Israel's military said dozens of aircraft, including fighter jets, hit power plants and seaports at Ras Issa and Hudaida on Sunday. *) Red Cross slams ‘those who lead military operations' for ignoring international law The head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has issued a stern warning on how the Geneva Conventions are being blatantly ignored in conflicts around the world. In an interview with Swiss daily Le Temps, Mirjana Spoljaric urged countries to urgently recommit to international law. She said that international humanitarian law is being “systematically trampled” by military leaders and highlighted the unimaginable number of casualties in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine. *) Austria's far-right secures first win in national election since WWII Far-right parties across Europe are celebrating after Austria's Freedom Party (FPO) won a significant parliamentary election. It's the first far-right national victory in Austria since World War II. The FPO, led by Herbert Kickl, managed to win around 29 percent of the vote by tapping into concerns about the economy and immigration. However, Kickl still needs to find a coalition partner, and other party leaders, who aren't keen on him, are already talking about forming an alternative government to block him. *) Germany to deny citizenship to those using pro-Palestine slogan online Germany is set to deny citizenship to anyone who uses, likes, or comments on the slogan “From the river to the sea” on social media, a phrase tied to support for Palestine, according to local media reports. North German Radio and Television (NDR) said the new rules come from the German Interior Ministry, and they specifically disqualify anyone using this slogan from becoming a citizen. This decision comes after Germany passed its dual citizenship law back in June. The phrase has roots going back to the 1960s, demanding the full liberation of Palestine.

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Joshua 19 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. And they had in their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, And Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Azem, And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, And Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, And Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages: Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages: And all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them. And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: ...

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. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Yesterday, Rettig Gur and Borschel-Dan attended a joint press conference for the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research and Tel Aviv University, where they heard the findings of the latest Palestine-Israel Pulse survey. They heard eye-opening perspectives of massive distrust in the other and how that influences any kind of vision of the future. They also learned that there is one sector -- Arab Israelis -- that is still optimistic and still thinks that peace can be achieved. The survey was conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) in Ramallah and the International Program in Conflict Resolution and Mediation at Tel Aviv University with funding from the Netherlands Representative Office in Ramallah and the Representative Office of Japan to Palestine through UNDP/PAPP. The lead authors were Dr. Dahlia Scheindlin, Dr. Khalil Shikaki and Dr. Nimrod Rosler. It polled 1200± Palestinians — over 800 from the West Bank and over 400 from Gaza in person — and 900 Israeli adults online, in the last half of July. Among other things, its findings addressed the impact of October 7 and the ongoing war on support for the two-state solution and support for various alternatives to the two-state solution, including one democratic state, one undemocratic state, a two-state confederation.We hear about attitudes toward the war and massive distrust of the other, extreme perceptions of the other and each side's sense of victimization.

Depuis plus de dix mois, Gaza est bombardée par Israël, plus de 40 000 personnes sont mortes et, sur cette bande de terre côtière, la situation humanitaire est plus que désastreuse. Souvent, on oublie que les femmes enceintes, les femmes en post-partum et les femmes qui allaitent sont particulièrement vulnérables. À Gaza, le nombre de fausses couches a augmenté d'au moins 300 % depuis octobre, en raison du stress dû à la guerre, de la malnutrition et du manque d'eau. De femmes gazaouis témoignent, celles qui vont donner naissance, celles qui viennent de le faire, des conditions inhumaines et dans une enclave ravagée par la guerre. De notre correspondante depuis Jérusalem, l'accès à Gaza étant encore interdit aux journalistes étrangers par Israël,Être enceinte, accoucher, allaiter... à Gaza, c'est un stress au quotidien. La famine touche quasiment tous les Gazaouis et le manque d'eau potable est un défi majeur. Les femmes enceintes souffrent d'anémie, de malnutrition et ont désespérément besoin de vitamines et de suppléments prénataux. C'est aussi le cas pour les femmes qui allaitent.Yasmine est la mère de six enfants, elle était enceinte pendant les premiers mois de guerre : « J'ai eu ma dernière fille en pleine guerre et tout est extrêmement compliqué. Que ce soit de pouvoir la nourrir, la faire vivre, la rassurer psychologiquement, physiquement et financièrement, je n'ai plus rien, témoigne-t-elle, alors ma fille ne mange pas assez, pas autant qu'elle devrait, elle est toujours fatiguée. Elle comme moi, nous n'avons pas assez à manger, car il n'y a plus de nourriture. Et pour trouver du lait pour les nourrissons, c'est pire, il n'y en a pas, ou alors c'est très cher. »À lire aussi«Ce qui se passe à Gaza a été calculé et déterminé par Israël», dit une rapporteuse de l'ONUDepuis le début de la guerre, 34 enfants sont morts de malnutritionLa jeune femme d'une trentaine d'années raconte qu'elle n'a plus de maisons depuis les premiers mois de la guerre. Plus de parents non plus pour l'aider avec ses enfants, les cinq autres, lorsqu'elle s'occupe de sa fille de trois mois, car son père et sa mère ont été tués dans les bombardements. Yasmine n'en peut plus des avions ni de l'injustice, de l'éternelle recherche de nourriture : « Je ne sais pas comment son petit corps pourra se développer. Et puis il y a toutes ces épidémies, ces maladies qui ne cessent de se propager. »Depuis le début de la guerre, 34 enfants sont morts de malnutrition.À lire aussi Gaza : l'évacuation forcée de Deir al-Balah pousse les réfugiés à fuir dans la paniqueLe nombre de fausses couches a augmenté d'au moins 300 %L'accouchement, c'est l'autre question angoissante et récurrente, partagée chez toutes ces femmes dans la bande de Gaza. Comment mettre au monde dans de telles conditions, alors que les hôpitaux manquent de tout, même des choses les plus basiques, et qu'ils sont déjà bondés de patients blessés au bord de la mort ? Malek, elle, vient de Beit Lahia, elle est en ce moment déplacée dans une école : « Je suis enceinte de huit mois et je vous avouerai que j'ai tellement peur de l'accouchement. D'abord, car j'ai peur de ne pas pouvoir atteindre l'hôpital à temps et de devoir accoucher ici. Ensuite, car nous avons été déplacés à tellement de reprises que je suis épuisée et très stressée », confie-t-elle.Avant la guerre, les hôpitaux et maternités prenaient en charge les femmes et les nourrissons s'ils avaient besoin d'être en couveuse ou d'avoir des besoins particuliers. Aujourd'hui, certains ne verront même pas le jour, car, à Gaza, les médecins font état d'un nombre de fausses couches sans précédent. La plupart sont dues au stress psychologique car ces femmes vivent sous les bombardements depuis des mois. Leur santé mentale n'est pas stable et elles manquent de soutien de leur famille.Le sujet est tellement tabou qu'il est difficile d'obtenir des chiffres officiels, mais des docteurs contactés de part et d'autre de la bande de Gaza ont affirmé à l'ONU qu'ils voyaient environ 10 femmes par jour qui venaient de faire une fausse couche, contre une à deux maximum avant la guerre.À lire aussi Gaza : « Les chiffres actuels ne témoignent pas de l'ampleur de la catastrophe »

*) Netanyahu responsible for truce talks' failure, lives of captives — Hamas Palestinian resistance group Hamas has accused Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the US administration for the failure of negotiations to halt the war on Gaza. In a statement, Hamas said that full responsibility for the lives of the prisoners lies with the Israeli army – which has killed several captives. The statement said Israel's attempts to mislead public opinion through deception is done in order to evade responsibility for the current deadlock in the negotiations. *) Over 72,000 children receive vaccinations in Gaza despite Israeli war Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has managed to vaccinate more than 72,000 children on the first day of a polio vaccination campaign. This comes despite an ongoing Israeli offensive. Hundreds of children who received vaccinations showed signs of fatigue and malnutrition, according to medical teams at centres in Deir al Balah. The vaccination drive is being conducted in collaboration with the WHO, UNICEF and UNRWA. *) Azerbaijan's ruling party dominates parliamentary election: initial results Azerbaijan's ruling New Azerbaijan Party, or YAP, has won the parliamentary elections held over the weekend. According to the initial results, YAP, led by President Ilham Aliyev, won 68 seats out of a possible 125 seats in the National Assembly. There were 6.4 million registered voters and turnout was 37.27 percent. *) German far-right AfD wins first state election Germany's far-right AfD has won a landmark first regional vote in the erstwhile East German state of Thuringia in a blow to Chancellor Olaf Scholz ahead of national elections in 2025. The AfD took between 30.5 and 33.5 percent of the vote in Thuringia,with the conservative CDU in second place at around 24.5 percent. *) Türkiye denounces ‘Famagusta' digital series for distorting Cyprus history Türkiye has criticised the upcoming digital series called "Famagusta" for promoting Greek Cypriot propaganda by distorting historical events. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the series constitutes a great disrespect to the cherished memories of the Turkish Cypriots who were massacred by the Greek Cypriot gangs between 1963-74. Turkish Cypriot President Ersin Tatar also condemned Netflix's acquisition of the series, which he described as “black propaganda.”

*) Israeli attacks kill at least 10 Palestinians in occupied West Bank At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids and strikes in several towns in the north of the occupied West Bank, a spokesman for the Red Crescent said. Two Palestinians were killed in the city of Jenin, four others in a nearby village, and four more in a refugee camp near the town of Tubas, said the Red Crescent's Ahmed Jibril. He added that 15 others had been wounded. *) UN says only 11 percent of Gaza spared from Israeli evacuation orders Only 11 percent of Gaza is not under evacuation orders, a UN official said. Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the UN humanitarian office, said at a UN briefing in Geneva that since Friday, Israeli forces issued three new evacuation orders “for over 19 neighbourhoods in northern Gaza and in Deir al Balah”. Laerke said more than 8,000 people were staying in these areas, with many sheltering in displacement sites. *) Donald Trump hit with new indictment in federal Jan 6 case Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a new indictment against Donald Trump over his efforts to undo the 2020 presidential election. The new indictment keeps the same criminal charges but narrows the allegations against the former US president following a Supreme Court opinion conferring broad immunity on former presidents. The special counsel's office said the updated indictment, filed in federal court in Washington DC, was issued by a grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in the case. *) Ukraine successfully tests first indigenous ballistic missile: Zelenskyy President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine successfully tested its first domestically produced ballistic missile. No further information has yet been provided about the missile's specifications. But a Ukrainian military video hinted that its range is up to 700 kilometres on par with the US-supplied ATACMS. *) Australia to limit new foreign students in migration crackdown Australia has said it would limit the enrolment number of new international students to 270,000 for 2025, as the government looks to rein in record migration. The decision follows a raft of actions since last year to end Covid-era concessions for foreign students and workers in Australia that helped businesses recruit staff locally while strict border controls kept overseas workers out. New international student enrolments will be capped at 145,000 for universities, which is around 2023 levels, and 95,000 for practical and skills-based courses.

Hatimaye shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto, UNICEF linapeleka Gaza huko Mashairki ya Kati dozi milioni 1.2 za chanjo dhidi ya ugonjwa wa polio aina ya 2, wakati huu ambapo ugonjwa huo hatari umethibitishwa kuweko eneo hilo. Anold Kayanda na maelezo zaidi.Kupitia ukurasa wake wa X zamani Twitter, UNICEF inasema dozi hizo milioni 1.2 za chanjo dhidi ya polio zitatumiwa kwa watoto zaidi ya 640,000.Chanjo hizo zinapelekwa wakati wiki iliyopita shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya ulimwenguni, WHO lilithibitisha kuwa mtoto mmoja mwenye umri wa miezi 10 huko  Deir al-Balah aliugua polio hiyo aina ya 2 na amepooza sehemu ya chini ya mguu wake. Ingawa hivyo hivi sasa hali yake inaendelea vizuri.Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi wa kipalestina, UNRWA, nalo kupitia mtandao wa X linasema kwa kuzingatia hatari kubwa ya kusambaa kwa ugonjwa huo hatari huko Gaza kutokana na ukosefu wa huduma za kujisafi na maji safi, kwa kushirikiana na UNICEF na WHO siku zijazo watazindua kampeni ya chanjo dhidi ya polio kwa watoto zaidi ya laki sita wenye umri wa chini ya miaka 10.Kwa mujibu wa UNRWA, operesheni za jeshi la Israeli huko Deir Al Balah zimeharibu miundombini ya maji na kwamba ni visima vya maji 3 tu kati ya 18 ndio vinafanya kazi na kwa mantiki hiyo uhaba wa maji ni asilimia 85.

Vuta nikuvute ikiendelea Gaza kuhusu ufikishaji, usambazaji na utoaji wa chanjo dhidi ya polio wakati huu ambapo makombora yanaendelea kurindima kutoka jeshi la Israeli, hii leo shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya ulimwenguni WHO, limethibitisha kubainika kwa mgonjwa mmoja wa polio, ikiwa ni miaka 25 tangu ugonjwa huo utokomezwe eneo hilo. Assumpta Massoi na maelezo zaidi.(Taarifa ya Assumpta Massoi)Ni kwamba tarehe 20 mwezi uliopita wa Julai, mtoto huyo mwenye umri wa miezi 10 alilazwa katika hospitali ya Al-Aqsa akiwa ana homa kali, anatapika, anahara huku akiwa hana nguvu mwilini, limesema shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia wakimbizi wa kipalestina, UNRWA katika ripoti yake ya 130 kutolewa tangu vita ianze huko Gaza, ikimulika Gaza, Ukingo wa Magharibi na Yerusalem Mashariki.Tarehe 22 Wizara ya Afya kwenye eneo linalokaliwa la Palestina likathibitisha ugonjwa wa polio virusi namba 2 kwa mtoto huyo ambaye hakuwa amepatiwa chanjo kutoka Deir al-Balah huko Gaza. Siku tatu baadaye yaani tarehe 25 Julai mtoto huyo akapooza sehemu ya chini ya mguu wake. Hivi sasa anaendelea na matibabu na hali yake ni nzuri.Uchunguzi uliofanywa na Kituo cha Marekani cha Kudhibiti na Kuzuia magonjwa, CDC ukaunganisha virusi hivyo na aina ya ile iliyobainika kwenye mazingira huko Gaza mwezi Juni mwaka huu.Sasa WHO imethibitisha kuwa ni polio ambapo Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa UNRWA Philippe Lazzarini kupitia mtandao wa X amesema “inasikitisha sana kwamba mtoto huyo amepooza kutokana na Polio. Polio haitotofautisha kati ya watoto wa Palestina na Israeli. Kuchelewecha sitisho la mapigano kwa misingi ya kiutu kutaongeza hatari ya ugonjwa huo kusambaa zaidi kwa watoto.”Awamu mbili za utoaji chanjo zimepangwa kuanza wiki zijazo na UNRWA imesema wataalamu wake wa afya na kupitia kliniki zake tembezi watasaidia usambazaji kwa ushirikiano na WHO na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF.

*) Hamas backs UN-proposed humanitarian pause in Gaza for polio vaccination Palestinian resistance group Hamas has supported a call from the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to provide concrete assurances from all parties guaranteeing humanitarian pauses in order for a polio vaccine campaign to be conducted. The group supports the request announced by the United Nations for a 7-day truce in order to vaccinate thousands of children. Hamas also demanded the delivery of medicine and food to more than two million Palestinians trapped in Gaza. *) Twin explosions in Somalia's capital leave multiple dead At least eight people have been killed and several others wounded in twin explosions in the Somali capital Mogadishu. Officials say that the attack targeted a busy tea shop in the Daynile district and bomb was planted inside the tea shop, frequently visited by security forces in the area. No group has claimed responsibility for the explosion yet. *) Israel kills 18 members of same family in Gaza An Israel air strike in besieged Gaza has killed at least 18 people, all from the same family, hours after mediators expressed optimism for an imminent ceasefire. According to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah the air strike hit a house and adjacent warehouse sheltering displaced people in the Zawaida township. *) Safety 'deteriorating' at Ukraine nuclear plant amidst war: UN watchdog The UN's nuclear watchdog has warned that the safety situation at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was "deteriorating" following a nearby drone strike. Earlier, Russia accused Ukraine of dropping an explosive charge on a road near the occupied plant in southern Ukraine. International Atomic Energy Agency experts on site were informed of the detonation near essential plant facilities and immediately visited the area. *) X to cease operations in Brazil amid ongoing legal dispute Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter has said it was closing operations in Brazil, citing threats from Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The decision comes after X reported a "secret order" from Moraes, who allegedly threatened to arrest the company's legal representative in Brazil if the platform did not comply with demands related to content moderation.

Il n'y a pas que les déflagrations des bombes qui résonnent à Gaza. Un jeune musicien gazaoui fait vibrer les cordes de son Oud, au milieu des ruines et des tentes des déplacés. Il organise des concerts presque tous les jours. Son souhait : rendre un peu d'humanité à une population sinistrée, victime d'une guerre dévastatrice qui dure depuis 9 mois.  Avec nos correspondants à Jérusalem et Gaza, Sami Boukhelifa et Rami Al MeghariAhmed Abu Hassanine a 22 ans. C'est ici, en bord de mer sur le littoral gazaoui, qu'il joue le plus souvent au coucher du soleil. Son public : principalement des enfants à qui il tente de faire oublier les affres de la guerre : « J'essaye principalement de divertir les plus petits, les aider à se détendre et leur remonter le moral. La musique joue un rôle essentiel dans nos vies. Alors, je la diffuse à travers les centres d'accueil et les camps de déplacés à Nuseirat, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younès et Garara ».« Il faut être résilient »Dans son répertoire, des chants nationaux. « Je chante uniquement des chansons palestiniennes. D'abord, parce qu'on est en guerre. Et ensuite, parce que je souhaite que les enfants comprennent l'importance de la cause palestinienne. Mes chansons sont toutes issues du patrimoine palestinien ».Au début de la guerre en octobre dernier, face à la violence, la tragédie et la destruction, Ahmed range son Oud. Il n'a plus le cœur à chanter. Mais très vite, l'envie de jouer en public revient. « Il faut être résilient », explique-t-il. Dès le mois de novembre, il sillonne de nouveau les rues de Gaza. « Je le fais bénévolement et c'est la moindre des choses. Les enfants ont besoin de peu de choses pour être heureux. Donc à travers ces chansons palestiniennes et grâce à la musique, on les aide à surmonter le traumatisme. Les enfants ont uniquement besoin d'un peu d'attention pour retrouver le sourire. Ils chantent avec moi, on discute, on joue et ils se sentent mieux. »À la fin du concert, Hadja Hikmat en profite pour réciter quelques vers. Cette grand-mère est une fan d'Ahmed. C'est elle qui l'a fait découvrir à ses petits-enfants. « Ici, les enfants meurent d'ennui. Il n'y a plus d'écoles. Ils n'ont plus leurs jouets. On a fui sans rien emporter. Les enfants passent leurs journées à se chamailler. Ils n'ont rien d'autre à faire. Donc je suis contente qu'Ahmed vienne leur changer les idées. » Avant la guerre, Ahmed était également professeur de chant. L'enclave assiégée avait même son conservatoire de musique.

Israel đã phát động một chiến dịch quân sự mới ở trung tâm Gaza, tuyên bố họ đã nắm quyền kiểm soát hoạt động đối với các khu vực phía đông của trại tị nạn Bureij và thị trấn Deir al-Balah ở trung tâm Gaza. Việc nầy diễn ra, khi một nhóm chuyên gia độc lập công bố một báo cáo mới về tác động của việc cung cấp viện trợ bị gián đoạn ở Gaza, cũng như điều đó đã dẫn đến nhiều cái chết vì đói như thế nào.

Israel has launched a new military operation in central Gaza, declaring it has taken operational control over eastern areas of Bureij refugee camp and the town of Deir al-Balah. It comes as an independent group of experts released a new report on the impact of disrupted aid deliveries in Gaza - and how that has resulted in many deaths by starvation.

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. Today is day 179 of the war with Hamas. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian and religions reporter Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Seven aid workers with the World Central Kitchen organization were killed in a strike on their vehicles in central Gaza late Monday after they helped deliver food and other supplies to northern Gaza that had arrived hours earlier by ship, the charity said Tuesday morning. The source of fire could not be independently confirmed but the IDF, the prime suspect, has expressed "sincere sorrow" and is conducting a probe. What do we now know? Israel is also suspected of carrying out an airstrike on Monday on a building next to Iran's embassy in Damascus that killed seven members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including the top Iranian commander in Syria. Who was the commander who was killed and what was his role? Early yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces withdrew from the Gaza City complex housing the Shifa Hospital, after a two-week raid in which the military said it detained or killed hundreds of terror suspects. What is the official tally according to the IDF? A drone, apparently launched from Iraq, struck a building in a naval base in Israel's southernmost city of Eilat early Monday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said. What role did Iran play? Much of the Christian world observed Easter this past weekend. Lidor attended events in Haifa and Jerusalem and shares a snapshot of the atmospheres at both locations, as well as the state of Christian Israelis in general. Hundreds, if not thousands of protesters, assembled Saturday night in Caesarea outside of the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Lidor sets the scene.
