Podcasts about Jenin

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 correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The commander of Hamas’s East Rafah Battalion, his deputy, and two other terror operatives were confirmed by the military to have been killed early this morning after attempting to flee a tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip. The soldiers there recovered the weapon of a slain IDF soldier, Staff Sgt. Or Mizrahi, a Nahal fighter who was killed while battling terrorists on the Gaza border during the October 7, 2023, onslaught. Fabian updates on the Hamas operatives trapped in the tunnels. The IDF said it killed three Palestinians who crossed the Gaza ceasefire line in two separate incidents in the Strip’s south on Saturday, with two of them identified as young children. Fabian was in the Gaza Strip last week: We learn how the IDF is operating along the Yellow Line and whether Gazans are aware of the demarcation. Six Israeli soldiers were wounded, including three seriously, after coming under fire by gunmen during an arrest operation in southern Syria early Friday morning. While arrest operations in Syria are no longer unusual, they rarely are accompanied by gunfights. Fabian unravels what we know about the ambush. Officers of the police’s elite Yamam unit detained a cell of five terror operatives in the northern West Bank that was planning an “imminent” attack, security forces said this morning. The arrest comes as the military is continuing to carry out a major counterterrorism operation in several northern West Bank towns. We hear about Hamas smuggling attempts into the West Bank and a much-examined incident in which Border Police officers are now under investigation over the fatal shooting on Thursday of two unarmed Palestinian terror suspects in the West Bank’s Jenin. We end the program learning about Maj. Gen. (ret.) Dan Tolkowsky, the fifth commander of the Israeli Air Force and later a key figure in the development of Israel’s high-tech and venture capital sectors. He died overnight Friday in his home in Tel Aviv at the age of 104. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Jenin è il punto da cui si deve partire oggi. Il video che circola da ieri mostra due uomini che escono da un garage con le mani alzate, la maglietta sollevata per mostrare il ventre nudo, nessuna minaccia. Poi li costringono a inginocchiarsi, li colpiscono, li trascinano qualche metro e li finiscono a terra. Le “indagini interne” annunciate da Israele valgono quanto valgono sempre: un tempo morto che serve a spegnere l'attenzione finché il silenzio torna utile. Intorno, la solita claque di ministri che chiama «eroi» i soldati e «terroristi» i cadaveri. Nelle stesse ore, in Cisgiordania, i blindati entrano e escono dai villaggi come fosse un diritto naturale. Arresti a decine, case perquisite, adolescenti portati via di notte. Da Tubas arrivano le immagini delle strade sfondate dai bulldozer e dei corpi feriti sulle barelle improvvisate. È la guerra che continua oltre la guerra, senza tregue ufficiali da sventolare. Fuori dalla Palestina il fronte non si allenta. Nel sud della Siria un raid ha colpito un edificio residenziale causando vittime civili, mentre nel sud del Libano le famiglie restano sospese sotto il rumore costante dei droni. Le mappe diplomatiche parlano di stabilizzazione; la geografia reale racconta un'altra storia, fatta di quartieri sventrati e funerali senza telecamere. E poi c'è la vicenda del sedicenne palestinese-americano liberato ieri dopo mesi di detenzione militare. Esce dimagrito, con la pelle segnata dalla scabbia, dopo un patteggiamento costruito sulle accuse di sempre. La versione ufficiale parla di “ordine pubblico”. Il suo corpo racconta un'altra definizione. Intanto la giornata politica si appunta sul viaggio del papa ad Ankara, sulle parole di Erdogan, sugli appelli alla pace. Belle cornici, ma fragili come carta bagnata se messe davanti alla sequenza di Jenin. È questo il paradosso delle ultime ore: mentre tutti rivendicano un ruolo da mediatori, l'unica immagine davvero nitida è quella di due uomini stesi a terra che non si rialzano più. E forse da lì bisogna ripartire, ogni giorno. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Send us a textChrista Bruhn was my student back in the 1980s.  I remember very well the first time I met her.  She told me she had lived for a semester in Gaza.  I have been to Gaza twice and did not consider it a place for a young American woman to be spending a semester.  But Christa was never able to get Palestine out of her soul.  This is her own story of her life-long engagement with a land and a people whose survival is not guaranteed.  In time she fell in love with a Palestinian student she met in the US.  She moved with him to Jenin where she became fully integrated into her new Palestinian family. Christa shares amazing insights from her years in that land.  I found it easy and very rewarding to interview her about her life and her book. This interview is over an hour long but you will be glad you listened. 

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 208-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 28,157 on turnover of 9.9-billion N-T. The main board followed other regional markets and lost ground on Tuesday as investors await the outcome of a meeting between U-S President Donald Trump and his China's counterpart Xi Jinping in South Korea tomorrow. The main board briefly breaching the 28,000-point mark, but downward pressure emerged as investors opted to lock-in profits. Lin Hsin-i heads to APEC Leaders Meeting in South Korea Presidential Adviser Lin Hsin-i has arrived in South Korea ahead of this week's APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in South Korea. Lin has been appointed as President Lai Ching-te's envoy to the the two-day event which begins on Friday. Prior to boarding his flight at Taoyuan International Airport, Lin told reporters that he will highlight Taiwan's strengths in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, smart healthcare, and small and medium-sized enterprises (企業) while in South Korea. He also expressed his hope that the meeting will help attract more investment, strengthen international cooperation, and raise Taiwan's profile in APEC. Taoyuan Airport 3rd runway completion pushed back to 2032 The Taoyuan International Airport Corporation has admitted that completion of the airport's third runway has been pushed back from 2030 to 2032. The airport operator's assistant vice president Bi Jin-ling says the relocation of residents from a site reserved for (保留給) the new runway has been postponed until the end of next year - which has delayed construction. The planned third runway is located north of the airport's existing site and began the first phase of construction in September of 2023. Construction is expected to take at least six years. Israeli forces kill three people near Jenin The Israeli military carried out an airstrike near Jenin in the Occupied West Bank on Tuesday in an operation that killed three Palestinians accused of plotting (密謀) an attack. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv. US kills 14 in strikes on four alleged drug boats in Pacific U-S Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says the military has killed 14 people in strikes on four alleged drug boats in the Pacific. It's the latest in a series of attacks on boats the U-S says have been carrying drugs in both the Pacific and Caribbean. The latest strikes in the eastern Pacific, mark an escalation (升級) in what it has cast as a campaign to stop narcotics (毒品) from entering the U-S. Mexico's navy says it is still searching for a lone survivor approximately 640-kilometers from the Pacific coastal city of Acapulco. The strikes have drawn condemnation in the region and experts have questioned their legality. Newly discovered Dr. Seuss manuscript featuring the Cat in the Hat to be published next year.

Israele non riesce nemmeno a fingere una pace finta. La tregua che doveva segnare la “normalità” dopo mesi di genocidio è saltata al primo pretesto. Nella notte le bombe sono tornate su Jenin e Rafah, e la Cisgiordania è teatro di rastrellamenti: tre palestinesi uccisi, case sventrate, arresti a decine. I ministri Ben Gvir e Smotrich invocano di «distruggere Hamas», l'ex premier Bennett applaude. Netanyahu, stretto fra i falchi, riunisce il gabinetto di sicurezza: la pace serve solo a prendere tempo, non a cambiare rotta. Il patriarca Pizzaballa avverte che «con i leader di oggi la pace non ha futuro». Intanto i leader restano. Gaza vive nell'emergenza: oltre 70mila malati di epatite C, ospedali senza anestetici, corridoi che diventano obitori, bambini evacuati in Europa come trofei umanitari di una guerra che si ostina a chiamarsi tregua. Gerusalemme revoca lo stato d'emergenza per mostrare normalità, ma normalità è il rumore delle bombe, i checkpoint riaperti, le incursioni a Jenin, le granate al confine libanese, l'Egitto che spedisce camion di aiuti che restano fermi ai valichi. La verità è semplice: non c'è volontà politica di pace, c'è gestione del conflitto. Lessico bellico, contabilità dei cadaveri, propaganda che si traveste da diplomazia. La tregua era la pausa della menzogna. Oggi il copione ricomincia da capo: stessi attori, stesso finale sospeso. Fino alla prossima sirena, finché qualcuno scambierà per pace l'istante tra due esplosioni. E noi, qui, dobbiamo nominarlo senza giri di parole: punizione collettiva, occupazione, apartheid. Finché il diritto non varrà anche a Gaza, ogni tavolo negoziale sarà un set fotografico. E ogni bambino salvato, un promemoria dei molti lasciati indietro. Le sirene non tacciono. Ancora. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Nella luce arancione del tramonto, un soldato israeliano siede su una sedia di plastica e osserva una fila di civili palestinesi in ginocchio, mani legate, occhi bendati. La foto, diffusa dallo stesso esercito, arriva da Khan Younis e racconta una tregua che è solo il modo ordinato di amministrare l'umiliazione. Sempre a Khan Younis, un drone ha colpito un gruppo di civili: almeno due morti, tra cui bambini. In Cisgiordania, nella cittadina di Beit Awwa, un quindicenne palestinese – Nazeeh Iyad Awad – è in fin di vita dopo che un soldato gli ha lanciato una granata stordente alla testa mentre andava a scuola. L'ONU segnala che solo nel 2025 le forze israeliane hanno già ucciso 40 bambini palestinesi in Cisgiordania, incluso un bimbo di nove anni colpito a morte il 16 ottobre mentre giocava a calcio vicino Hebron. Da ottobre 2023, sono 213 i minori uccisi in Cisgiordania. In totale, quest'anno i palestinesi uccisi sono 198, un terzo solo nel governatorato di Jenin. L'Alto commissariato delle Nazioni Unite parla di «uso sistematico ed eccessivo» della forza. Durante la raccolta delle olive, i coloni hanno ferito oltre 100 persone e distrutto 3.000 alberi in 50 villaggi. Mentre più di 11.000 palestinesi restano detenuti, di cui 3.500 senza processo, almeno 77 sono morti in custodia dal 2023. E le demolizioni non si fermano: 1.300 strutture palestinesi abbattute nel 2025 perché prive di permessi israeliani. A Gaza, i medici preparano la sepoltura di 50 corpi restituiti da Israele, molti torturati, irriconoscibili. Gli stessi giorni in cui si parla di “ricostruzione”, come fosse una gara d'appalto su ossa ancora calde. La tregua è diventata il lessico pulito del genocidio a bassa intensità: ogni giorno numeri nuovi, ogni giorno un bambino in più, ogni giorno un ulivo in meno. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

As a fragile ceasefire holds in Gaza, the occupied West Bank remains a flashpoint. Since October 7, settler violence and Israeli demolitions have reached unprecedented levels. Speaking to FRANCE 24, Anne-Claire Yaeesh, Handicap International's Director for the Palestinian Territories, said these developments have “completely changed the face of the West Bank”. According to rights groups, tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced since January, following the launch of a large-scale Israeli military operation, and many are unable to access basic services such as healthcare. Yaeesh noted that one of her organisation's partners, the Al Jaleel Health Centre in Jenin, had been attacked. She said employees “found out on social media”, where videos showed “Israeli soldiers playing and throwing” wheelchairs.

Puntata speciale dedicata quasi interamente alla giornata del riconoscimento della Palestina all'Onu, con Hani Gaber, console rappresentante per il Nord Italia dell'Autorità Nazionale Palestinese; Ahmad Odeh, cooperante palestinese che ci ha parlato da Jenin, in Cisgiordania, dove l'occupazione sta rosicchiando sempre più terra per scongiurare ogni possibilità di esistenza effettiva di uno stato palestinese; Emanuele Valenti; Chantal Meloni, professoressa di diritto internazionale alla Statale di Milano e Alfredo Somoza. Ma anche la scarcerazione dell'attivista anglo-egiziano Alaa Abdel Fattah con Riccardo Noury (Amnesty International) e l'effetto a catena scatenato dall'omicidio di Charlie Kirk nella politica statunitense (Roberto Festa)

A pioneering Palestinian-American journalist whose reporting for Al Jazeera over 25 years gave global audiences a human perspective on life under Israeli occupation, Shireen Abu Akleh was known as “the voice of Palestine.” On May 11, 2022, while covering an Israeli military raid in Jenin, she was fatally shot despite wearing clearly marked press gear. Multiple investigations — by the UN, CNN, The Washington Post, and others — concluded that Israeli forces were responsible, contradicting initial Israeli claims. Independent groups argued she was deliberately targeted, though Israel maintains it was accidental and has refused to take accountability or cooperate with international investigations.Her killing was widely condemned as an attack on press freedom and a possible war crime, and her legacy endures as a symbol of Palestinian resilience and unflinching journalism in the face of military occupation.To find out more about the people and music featured in today's episode, visit the Assassinations Podcast website, www.AssassinationsPodcast.com While there, you can check out our Bookstore, where we recommend some great episode-related books and reading material, or shop our Merch Store to nab a logo tee or tote bag.

Ralph welcomes Palestinian-American writer, activist, and scientist Susan Abulhawa to discuss the ongoing Palestinian genocide and the evidence that supports a vastly higher death toll in Gaza.Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian-American writer and political activist. She is the author of Mornings in Jenin—translated into thirty languages—and The Blue Between Sky and Water. Born to refugees of the Six Day War of 1967, she moved to the United States as a teenager, graduated in biomedical science, and established a career in medical science. In July 2001, she founded “Playgrounds for Palestine,” a non-governmental children's organization dedicated to upholding the Right to Play for Palestinian children.I consider this, first of all, immoral. It's disrespecting the Palestinian dead while they kill the Palestinians who are still alive with US bombers and artillery shells and other weapons coming from Washington, D.C. And it underestimates the kind of urgency that should be confronting this genocide.Ralph NaderThis is something that I think generations will study for a very long time to come. The complicity of Western media across the board is no less criminal than the genocide itself.Susan AbulhawaThis is a complete wiping out of life. A total destruction. And it's completely driven by this unfathomable hate and colonial arrogance and Jewish supremacy and this notion of entitlement. Of being favored by God, of being promised some real estate by a real-estate-agent Lord. I mean, it beggars belief the narratives that we see spoken in mainstream outlets and in the halls of power. Truly, it beggars belief.Susan AbulhawaNo, I don't believe Israel has a right to exist. It has never had a right to exist. No political entities have a right to exist. People have a right to exist. They have a right to exist in their own homeland with dignity. People have a right to universal dignity. A supremacist ideology—and that's ultimately what Zionism is predicated on, on supremacy and entitlement for a group of people at the detriment of another group of people—that is not a right, and it should never be a right. It should be anathema, in fact.Susan AbulhawaNews 9/5/25* The Intercept reports AIPAC has lost another Democratic ally in Congress. Congresswoman Deborah Ross of North Carolina has pledged that she will not accept AIPAC campaign contributions in her 2026 reelection bid. In previous elections, Ross has accepted over $100,000 in AIPAC donations. This comes on the heels of another North Carolina Congresswoman, Valerie Foushee – who received over $800,000 in AIPAC contributions – also renouncing donations from the group. As the Intercept notes, in June, the North Carolina Democratic Party adopted a resolution calling for a “complete arms embargo on all military aid to Israel until it ends its apartheid rule of Palestinians.” Dr. Paul McAllister, a reverend and chair of the Interfaith Caucus of the North Carolina Democratic Party, is quoted saying “AIPAC uses the muscle of their resources to oust anyone who disagrees with them regarding Israel, the conduct of Israel and the atrocities that may be committed by the government of Israel — so it is good that Deborah Ross is willing to recognize and acknowledge that.”* In more Israel news, a new aid flotilla bound for Gaza departed from Genoa, Italy last Sunday. Unlike previous flotillas however, this one carries the protection of a surprising group: Italian dockworkers. According to POLITICO EU, “Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said…‘Around mid-September, these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just 20 minutes, we will shut down all of Europe.'” Genoa has expressed unprecedented solidarity with Gaza. A food drive in the city collected “more than 300 tons of humanitarian aid…[and] over 40,000 people, including the city's mayor, Silvia Salis, joined a torchlit march through the streets in support of the [humanitarian flotilla on Saturday].” During the procession, Salis remarked “Every day I am proud to be the mayor of this city, but tonight, if possible, I am even more so.”* In yet another Israel story, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli cybersecurity apparatchik, who was arrested in August during an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators,” failed to appear for his court date in Nevada. Alexandrovich fled to Israel after being bailed out of jail in the U.S.; his lawyer, David Chesnoff, told the court that he told Alexandrovich not to attend the hearing. Judge Barbara Schifalacqua is now demanding that Alexandrovich appear before the court this week, but it remains to be seen whether he will actually show. This case has become politicized, with liberals and conservatives accusing one another of allowing Alexandrovich to flee the country. The government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu falsely denied that Alexandrovich was arrested at all. This from Al Jazeera.* In more sex predator news, Representatives Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor-Greene held a press conference this week with survivors of abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein to push for full disclosure of the Justice Department's files on the case. At this conference, survivors also said they will release their own list of names. This comes amidst a renewed push for Congressional action spearheaded by the survivors. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a batch of records, but most of these have been made public before. The survivors met with lawmakers this week, including Speaker Mike Johnson, who said “I think the Oversight probe is going to be wide and expansive, and they're going to follow the truth wherever it leads,” per the Washington Post. Congresswoman Nancy Mace was also seen emerging from a meeting with the survivors visibly upset, though we do not know what exactly was discussed in this meeting. What is clear is that the Epstein story is not going away any time soon.* In local news, the National Guard has shared a statement with CBS News' Scott MacFarlane in which they boast that, “Guardsmen have cleaned more than 3.2 miles of roadways, collected more than 500 bags of trash, and disposed of three truckloads of plant waste.” Looking beyond the absurdity of deploying the National Guard to pick up trash, Samuel Littauer, Commissioner of ANC 3C01 – a local government district in Washington – crunched the numbers and found that “DC's cleaning crews cover around 81 miles/day for around $150K/day… [while the] National Guard has cleaned a total of 3.2 miles and costs more than $1M/day.” This means, “It's about 170X more cost efficient per mile to fund DC's existing work.”* Yet, despite the staggering inefficiency of the federal occupation – to say nothing of the outrageous, authoritarian government overreach – D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has signed an order outlining how the District will “continue to work with the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, U.S. Park Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, [and] the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,” according to WTOP. This report notes that, “Bowser's order provides a path for working with federal law enforcement…[a] public indication that federal law enforcement could remain in the city indefinitely.” Other D.C. officials, including the District's delegate in Congress Eleanor Holmes Norton, have decried the occupation. Unfortunately, Norton is not even afforded the power of a single vote in Congress. This debacle further underscores the necessity for sovereign statehood for D.C.* In more news of federal law enforcement overreach, Prem Thakker of Zeteo reports new figures that show, “61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history.” Thakker goes on to report that “According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.” This unjustifiable mass detention shows no signs of slowing down, with ICE being granted larger and larger budgets and more and more latitude by the administration. The parallels to other shadowy secret police organizations throughout history continue to grow more pronounced.* Labor Notes editor Luis Feliz Leon reports Columbia University is seeking to bust graduate worker unions – at Columbia and beyond. A statement from the union reads “Over the summer, the university expelled and suspended 80 students, eliminated all but ten…graduate instructor jobs, and filed an Unfair Labor Practice Charge that could reshape the future of higher ed.” This marks yet another blow to the august reputation of Columbia, already damaged by their authoritarian overreaction to pro-Palestine protests and their capitulation to borderline extortion by Trump.* In the federal government, Trump continues to attack critical safety regulators. Reuters reports, “Two of the three remaining commissioners at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S. nuclear safety watchdog, told a Senate hearing on Wednesday they feel President Donald Trump could fire them if they obstruct his goal to approve reactors faster.” Trump, via executive order, has committed the United States to, “fast-tracking new reactor licenses and quadrupling U.S. nuclear energy capacity by 2050…while also reducing staffing at the NRC.” The Commission is already down to just three members from its usual five and according to this report, “a dozen senior level managers…have left or announced they will leave since January, and…143 staff departed between January and June.” The Commission is currently considering five reactor applications and “expects another 25 to 30 soon.” Whatever one's thoughts are on nuclear energy in general, it is wildly irresponsible and dangerous to consider these reactor proposals by a commission short-staffed and constantly threatened with dismissal.* Finally, the Government Accountability Project has submitted a stunning whistleblower complaint on behalf of Chuck Borges, Chief Data Officer at the Social Security Administration. This complaint concerns “serious data security lapses, evidently orchestrated by DOGE officials, currently employed as SSA employees, that risk the security of over 300 million Americans' Social Security data…including apparent systemic data security violations, uninhibited administrative access to highly sensitive production environments, and potential violations of federal privacy laws by DOGE personnel.” The most critical violation is the DOGE staffers' move to “create a live copy of the country's Social Security information in a cloud environment that circumvents oversight.” As this complaint explains, “This vulnerable cloud environment is effectively a live copy of the entire country's Social Security information…that…lacks any security oversight from SSA or tracking to determine who is accessing or has accessed the copy of this data.” This includes “all data submitted in an application for a United States Social Security card—including the name of the applicant, place and date of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, parents' names and social security numbers, phone number, address, and other personal information.” If this data were to be compromised – as is eminently possible given the unsecured and unsupervised nature of the cloud copy, “Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital healthcare and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security Number.” This staggering degree of carelessness and incompetence is almost unbelievable, if not for the fact that it comports perfectly with the DOGE track record. We can only hope lawmakers and regulators take swift action to shut down this ticking timebomb of data before it's too late.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with Prof. Dan Turner, the head of a pediatric gastroenterology unit at one of Israel’s most respected hospitals located in Jerusalem and Deputy Dean of the School of Medicine at the Hebrew University. Turner, alongside his work as a physician, educator and researcher, is also an ardent activist in a variety of fields concerning human rights and dignity, inside and outside of medicine. Our podcast conversation was spurred by his response to images of Muhammad al-Mutawaq, a severely emaciated 18-month-old living in Gaza, which were published on the front pages of newspapers around the world, prompting a global outcry about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Following an independent journalist's investigation, it was revealed that al-Mutawaq suffered from severe illnesses, including neurological and muscle disorders. For Turner, al-Mutawaq's underlying medical conditions don't excuse his appearance -- quite the contrary. The malnourished child is emblematic of Israel's inhumane treatment of all Palestinians, from security prisoners handcuffed in hospital beds to babies who require special medical care in Gazan tent cities, he says. In a wide-ranging interview, Turner explains how he was "awoken" to his duty to advocate for Palestinians' basic medical care and treatment with dignity. He shares the blowback he has received -- and why he now sparks conversations about the ongoing war in Gaza by "looking like a caveman." And so this week, we ask Prof. Dan Turner, what matters now.

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 correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The IDF may take at least another week to gauge how many troops it will need for the government-ordered renewed offensive in Gaza City, military officials said Sunday. This comes as relations between the IDF and the political echelon seem more strained than we’ve previously seen. Fabian weighs in. This morning, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) asserted that Hamas has been inflating the toll of Palestinians it says have died of malnutrition, and most of those verified to have died had preexisting medical conditions. Fabian describes how Hamas's own death figures have allowed COGAT to draw its conclusions. An Israeli strike in Gaza City Sunday night killed a prominent Palestinian journalist for Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, Anas al-Sharif, whom the Israel Defense Forces has long argued was a Hamas terrorist in charge of rocket launching. Fabian lays out the IDF's case against al-Sharif and discusses his targeting in the context of the larger stated military goal of picking off every asset of the terror group. On Sunday, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that IDF troops will remain deployed to northern West Bank refugee camps at least until the end of the year, as part of the “Operation Iron Wall” defensive. The operation began in January in the Jenin refugee camp, adjacent to the city of Jenin, and later expanded to include refugee camps near the city of Tulkarem in the western West Bank — the Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps. We learn what's going on there now and what the forecast is. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues amid raids in occupied West Bank "Israel has killed over 50 Palestinians across besieged Gaza on Tuesday. The attacks took place in Rafah, Gaza City, Jabalia and Khan Younis. In occupied West Bank Israeli forces abducted at least 35 Palestinians, including children and former prisoners, in a series of overnight raids. The arrests took place in the cities of Nablus, Salfit, Qalqilya, Jenin, Tulkarem, Alkhalil, and Bethlehem, according to a joint statement from the Commission of Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society," "UN Rapporteur urges global action against Israel to stop Gaza genocide " "The United Nations' special rapporteur for besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank has said that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop the ""genocide"" in the blockaded enclave. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia to discuss the Israeli genocide in Gaza and ways that nations can try to stop Israel's carnage. Albanese said the Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal." "US court blocks move to end protected status for Afghans " "A US federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for thousands of Afghan nationals living in the country. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay on the termination order on Monday, which was set to take effect July 15. More than 82,000 Afghans were evacuated to the US following the Taliban's takeover in 2021 after the US' chaotic withdrawal. " US launches probe into Brazil's trade practices "The United States has launched an investigation into Brazil's trade practices, escalating tensions between the two countries and potentially laying the groundwork for punitive tariffs on South America's largest economy. The probe, announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative will assess whether Brazil's policies are ""unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict US commerce.""" July 15 defeated coup attempt a ‘critical turning point' in Türkiye's history: Erdogan " Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the defeated July 15 coup attempt in 2016 marked one of the most critical turning points in Türkiye's history, Speaking at the commemoration ceremony for July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day at parliament in Ankara Erdogan said the coup attempt was a tough test that the state and the nation overcame with pride. Erdogan expressed gratitude to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, the veterans who defended the nation, the citizens who filled the streets to resist the coup attempt, and the millions abroad who supported Türkiye during that critical night."

Palestinian GAA clubs from the West Bank are set to arrive in Ireland next week (18th July) for a tour, with a visit to County Clare as part of the itinerary.

They are expected in Clare towards the end of July. For more on this Alan Morrissey was joined by Claire Liddy, social care worker. PHOTO CREDIT: Éire Óg GAA

Skin cancer is on the rise in Canada. The vast majority of cases are connected to sun exposure. One of the best protections – staying out of the sun or using sunscreen.

The shaky ceasefire in Gaza is in danger of collapsing, but the genocide of the Palestinian people has not been paused. On Feb. 25, Israeli tanks stormed Jenin, the heart of the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank, for the first time since the Second Intifada. From Donald Trump's declarations that the US should “own” Gaza to promises to deport pro-Palestine student activists, the new administration's intentions to accelerate the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and criminalize solidarity with Palestinians have been made clear. Abby Martin, independent journalist and host of Empire Files, joins The Real News to help analyze how war on Palestine is expanding and evolving.Read the transcript of this livestream here. Host: Maximillian AlvarezStudio Production: Cameron Granadino, David Hebden, Adam ColeyHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

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 reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's Daily Briefing. The White House says that it supports Israel’s decision to delay releasing 600 Palestinian prisoners, citing the “barbaric treatment” of Israeli hostages by Hamas. At the same time, we’re hearing for the first time from US President Donald Trump’s Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff that he will come to the region this week to try and negotiate an extension of the first phase of the ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas, which is supposed to conclude at the end of the week with the return of four additional bodies of hostages. Berman updates us on the current status of the talks. Yesterday, Israeli tanks deployed to the West Bank for the first time in over 20 years and Defense Minister Israel Katz said he had instructed the IDF to stay for at least the next year in West Bank refugee camps that have been cleared of terror operatives and civilians, and not allow some 40,000 displaced Palestinians to return. Does the IDF have the manpower for such an operation? Tens of thousands of black-clad mourners vowed support for the Hezbollah terror group Sunday at the Beirut funeral of slain leader Hassan Nasrallah, after the group was dealt major blows in its last round of hostilities with Israel. As the funeral began at the Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium, Lebanon’s biggest sports arena, Israeli warplanes flew at a low altitude over Beirut. What was Israel's message with this fly over? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a “warm conversation” last night with Friedrich Merz, the presumptive German chancellor after his CDU/CSU came first in the German elections yesterday. But the standout saga from these elections is the surge in support for far-right anti-immigration party AfD, which took a historic second place among the electorate. Berman weighs in. On the eve of the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has faced fierce criticism from the new US administration, leading Zelensky to offer to quit his post if it would mean that Ukraine could join NATO. Publicity stunt or authentic plea? Please see today's ongoing live blog for more updates.

Is President Trump is planning to send 10,000 troops to the southern border? An internal memo suggests he is. We'll ask what exactly they will be doing. The US president has already ordered 1,500 troops to the border to install barriers - a military source says they won't be involved in "law enforcement". Also on the programme: Our correspondent is in Jenin in the West Bank amid a major Israeli offensive; and how comedy is helping Ukrainians get through the war.(Photo: Migrants remain stranded at the El Chaparral border port in Tijuana, Mexico, 20 January 2025.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum today in Davos, Switzerland, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said there's a possibility that Israel could try to annex the occupied West Bank – part of the occupied Palestinian territories. He claims Israel might feel emboldened by recent military successes. Meanwhile, the Palestinian health ministry says 10 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 40 have been injured in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. We hear from a political analyst about the likelihood of an Israeli annexation.Also in the programme: Branch of Rupert Murdoch's news empire issues an apology to Prince Harry for “unlawful” investigations of his private life; and the new clothing line for people with disabilities.

Israel's military is conducting raids in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Israel is seeking to flush out armed Palestinian factions in the area. This comes as some 90 Palestinians prisoners were released from Israeli prisons following a ceasefire deal in Gaza with Hamas. Also, Denmark has announced plans to rethink a parenting competency test that has earned heavy criticism for using Danish cultural norms to measure fitness in Greenland's Inuit communities. Human rights groups have long expressed concerns that bias baked into the test can lead to children being unjustly removed from Indigenous families. Also, what it would mean globally, for the US to withdraw from the World Health Organization — and what that process would actually look like. And, the US Customs and Border Protection announced Monday that the CBP One app would no longer be used to admit migrants.
