Gaza's largest remaining hospital, the Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, has stopped admitting casualties because of Israeli troops operating nearby. We speak to a doctor who is an emergency physician there. Also on the programme: Kurdish PKK rebels have begun disbanding after a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state; and scientists say the mystery interstellar object spotted last week by astronomers could be the oldest comet ever seen, possibly more than seven billion years old.

A Gaza si continua a morire mentre il mondo si congratula con sé stesso. Venti palestinesi uccisi nel sud della Striscia. Nove morti in fila per ricevere aiuti. Un totale di 41 corpi raccolti dall'alba, secondo le autorità sanitarie locali. Tra loro donne e bambini. Nessun combattente, nessuna "minaccia". Solo fame, attesa e un'esplosione. Israele piange sette soldati morti in un attacco a Khan Younis. Il governo parla di “eroi caduti per battere Hamas”. Nessuna parola per i 56mila palestinesi uccisi da ottobre, secondo i dati aggiornati. Nelle stesse ore in cui Netanyahu proclama “una vittoria storica” e l'esercito israeliano dichiara che “ora l'attenzione torna su Gaza”, i droni continuano a sorvolare i centri abitati e le colonne degli aiuti vengono trasformate in trappole mortali. Donald Trump, che si attribuisce il merito della fragile tregua tra Israele e Iran, annuncia “grandi progressi su Gaza”. Intanto gli USA finanziano con 30 milioni di dollari un gruppo sostenuto da Israele per distribuire cibo nella Striscia. È la stessa “distribuzione umanitaria” che ha già provocato morti. L'ONU denuncia la “militarizzazione del cibo”. Gli aiuti sono usati come esche. L'illusione della pace si costruisce con le bombe, mentre le cancellerie occidentali fingono che le vittime siano un effetto collaterale. “Due popoli, due Stati” dice Giorgia Meloni, ma intanto non condanna lo Stato che sta infierendo su un intero popolo. La tregua tra Israele e Iran tiene. Quella tra Israele e Gaza, mai nemmeno iniziata, continua a scricchiolare sotto il peso dei corpi. Chi finge di non vedere, è già complice. E chi confonde l'umanitario con il militare, non salva: sorveglia. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

A Gaza, oggi, sono morti altri diciotto palestinesi. Alcuni erano in fila per ricevere aiuti umanitari, altri dormivano in tenda. L'ospedale Al-Quds ha ricevuto oltre 140 corpi in 24 ore e curato 560 feriti. La rete è ancora isolata nel sud della Striscia per il secondo giorno consecutivo, colpita da un raid mirato all'infrastruttura. Queste notizie, che fino a una settimana fa avrebbero spalancato aperture e indignazione, ora faticano a guadagnare spazio tra le righe dei dispacci, soffocate dalla nuova centralità iraniana. La quotidianità dell'orrore a Gaza non è diminuita. È diventata abitudine. E l'abitudine, si sa, è l'anticamera dell'indifferenza. Nel gioco ottuso delle gerarchie geopolitiche, il massacro a Gaza sembra declassato a “danno collaterale prolungato”, persino mentre Israele estende i bombardamenti su Rafah, Khan Younis, Gaza City. Le stesse zone, gli stessi obiettivi civili, gli stessi corpi mutilati nei sacchi di plastica. Il ragazzo che urla disperato accanto al cadavere del padre ucciso in fila per un pacco alimentare, oggi, non fa più notizia. Il mondo guarda altrove. E così facendo, lo legittima. Legittima la logica per cui una strage, se reiterata abbastanza a lungo, smette di essere una notizia. E diventa routine. Accettare che Gaza resti uno sfondo silenzioso mentre si negozia tra Teheran e Tel Aviv significa accettare che il dolore palestinese valga meno. Gaza non è la scenografia dei potenti del mondo. Gaza non può divenire l'ennesima guerra a bassa intensità mediatica e politica. La normalizzazione dell'orrore è la più subdola delle complicità: quella che si nasconde dietro lo sguardo distolto. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Daily News Brief by TRT World

"Israeli strikes have killed nearly 600 in Iran — US-based group " "Israeli strikes have killed at least 585 people across Iran and wounded 1,326 others, a human rights group has claimed. The Washington-based group has claimed to have identified 239 of the dead as civilians and 126 as security personnel. Iran's last update, issued on Monday however puts the death toll at 224 people killed and 1,277 others wounded. " Won't kill Iran's supreme leader — at least 'for now': Trump "US President Donald Trump has dramatically stepped up his rhetoric against Iran's supreme leader, saying on social media that the United States knows where Ali Khamenei is located but will not kill him ""for now."" In another post, Trump also appeared to demand Iran's ""unconditional surrender!"" as he fueled questions about whether the United States would join Israel's attacks on Tehran's leadership and nuclear facilities. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that they know exactly where Supreme Leader is hiding, and that he is an easy target, but is safe there, but they are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now." "Israel kills dozens of Palestinians, wounds hundreds in food line " "Israel has killed over 30 desperate Palestinians seeking aid in northwest of Gaza City. Israeli occupation soldiers fired at the desperate crowds of Palestinians seeking aid yesterday as they gathered at an aid distribution point to the northwest of the city, Earlier, Israeli forces had fired at Palestinians seeking food aid in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza with tank shells, machine guns and drones, killing more than 60 civilians and wounding approximately 200 others. " China: Trump 'adding fuel to fire' in Iran-Israel conflict "China has decried US President Donald Trump's call to Iranians to evacuate the capital Tehran as ""adding fuel to the fire"" amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said adding fuel to the fire, making threats, and exerting pressure will not help ease the situation, it will only intensify contradictions and widen the conflict." Türkiye Parliament condemns Israel's genocide in Gaza and attacks on Iran "Türkiye's Parliament has unanimously adopted a motion condemning Israel's ongoing genocide on Gaza, its broader regional actions, and ongoing attacks targeting Iran. In a statement, published in the Official Gazette, the lawmakers said the Israeli regime has committed ""crimes against humanity"" through decades of occupation, systemic violence, and recent bombardments that killed thousands in Gaza. They also denounced Israeli attacks on Iran, describing them as ""provocative and threatening"" and warning they risk dragging the region into wider war."

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 episode. Two Israeli soldiers were killed fighting in separate incidents in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Monday. Cpt. Tal Movshovitz, 28, from Re’ut, was killed by an explosive device planted in a building.Hours later, Staff Sgt. Naveh Leshem, 20, from Nokdim, was killed, and 10 other soldiers were wounded. Berman addresses the rumors of progress towards a negotiated deal to get the hostages out and a ceasefire in the Strip. What is happening in the war and what has changed? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday did not rule out plans to target Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Instead, he suggested that it would be a surefire way to “end the conflict” with the Islamic Republic. Berman updates us on other statements from the prime minister -- in English and Hebrew. Downtown Tehran appears to be emptying out, with many shops closed, including in the city’s ancient Grand Bazaar, perhaps in light of US President Donald Trump’s impromptu evacuation call for the entire city of Tehran Monday night, citing what he said was the country’s rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development, as the conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic appeared poised for further escalation. Berman explains what happened in the G7 and where the war could be turning. French authorities erected black partition walls around Israeli company exhibits displaying offensive weapons systems at the Paris Air Show overnight Sunday, hours before the event opened at Le Bourget Airport. Berman weighs in, explaining the nuance of the situation -- and why this is hardly the first time Israel is singled out at this show.

Berman discusses new developments in the ongoing Iran nuclear talks and daylight between US and Israeli leadership following a 40-minute phone call between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening, shortly after Iran announced that it would respond soon to Washington's latest proposal for a nuclear deal. Berman also describes his recent tour in Gaza with the IDF, during which he entered Hamas tunnels underneath an EU-funded hospital where Hamas command sat, including commander Muhammad Sinwar who was killed there in an Israeli airstrike in May.

Four more soldiers were declared dead on Friday morning after a booby trapped building exploded in the southern Gaza Strip. The slain soldiers were Sgt. First Class Tom Rotstein, Staff Sgt.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz said Sunday that he had instructed the Israel Defense Forces to “prevent the ‘Madelaine' hate flotilla from reaching the shores of Gaza.” 2.

Russian Ministry of Defense claims elements of the 90th Tank Division have reached the border of the town of Dnipropetrovsk (Donetsk Region).  News outlet CNN is unable to verify the battlefield reports, and Ukraine has denied the Russian advance. 6. German Taurus Missiles to Ukraine?  A statement from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on May 26 about long-range strikes inside Russia resurrected a long-held hope in Ukraine — that Berlin is finally about to send Kyiv its Taurus missiles.  (There has so far been no confirmation of actual delivery of Taurus to Ukraine.)7.  Taiwan on Friday condemned Beijing's “provocative” actions after it conducted a "combat readiness patrol" around the island. Taipei's defense ministry said it detected 21 Chinese military aircraft, including fighters and drones, of which 15 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait.8.  Chinese FC-31 Warplanes to Pakistan "Within Months".  A Pakistani government source told Janes outlet, that the FC-31 aircraft “will begin arriving within months.” The source did not provide further acquisition details, but it was previously reported that China could supply 30 to 40 jets to Pakistan. 9.  The USMC has received its final MQ-9A Reaper from General Atomics.

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. Released hostage Edan Alexander is back in his family's embrace in Israel and is recovering from his 584 days in Hamas captivity. We hear what we know so far about Alexander's health and the conditions in which he was kept. A few hours after the final living US-Israeli hostage was released by his Hamas captors, the IDF says that its forces carried out a “targeted attack” on “key” Hamas fighters who were operating a command center in the Nasser Hospital compound in Khan Younis. Among those reported killed is Palestinian journalist Hassan Eslaiah, who on October 7 was freelancing for the Associated Press and invaded Israel with the terrorists and photographed them entering Kibbutz Nir Oz, where dozens of civilians were massacred. Was he the target of the airstrike? Nour Bitawi, a senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative who Israeli authorities say was planning imminent terror attacks, was killed by troops Friday in the West Bank city of Nablus. Fabian explains who Bitawi was and how significant this mission could be. The Mossad spy agency and the Israel Defense Forces recovered the remains of Sgt. First Class Zvi Feldman, who went missing in the First Lebanon War’s battle of Sultan Yacoub in 1982. The battle, nearly 43 years ago, claimed the lives of 21 Israeli servicemen, and more than 30 were injured during it. Feldman, a tank soldier, went missing during the battle along with Sgt. First Class Yehuda Katz and Sgt. First Class Zachary Baumel. Baumel’s remains were recovered and returned to Israel in 2019.Fabian describes how the body of Feldman was recently recovered from “the heart of Syria” in a special operation.

Daily News Brief by TRT World

This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Thursday, May 8th. Pakistan shoots down Indian jets as tensions soar "To calm tensions between the two arch-rivals India and Pakistan, world leaders have urged them to stop fighting. US President Donald Trump called for both nations to cease hostilities, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered diplomatic support to de-escalate the situation. Pakistan has said Indian strikes resulted in the deaths of 31 Pakistani civilians and injuries to 57 others, vowing to respond. It also said its air force brought down five Indian fighter jets and one drone in an act of ""self-defence” — including three Rafale aircraft." Israel kills over 50 Palestinians in continued Gaza bombardment "At least 54 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded in fresh Israeli air strikes across Gaza, according to medics. In Al-Tuffah, 16 Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling of a school-turned-shelter, while 22 others were killed in an attack on a market in Gaza City. Further casualties occurred in Khan Younis, Bani Suhaila and various refugee camps. Gaza's government media office confirmed that Israel has targeted over 234 shelters. Total blockade on Gaza has caused severe famine among Palestinians, with the world urging Tel Aviv to allow aid to flow. Israel has killed over 52,600 people in the Palestinian enclave, mostly women and children, since October 7, 2023. " US court blocks Trump admin's transfer bid for detained Turkish student "A federal appeals court has ordered the transfer of Turkish doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk from an immigration jail in Louisiana to a court in Vermont, where a bail hearing is scheduled for May 9. Ozturk was arrested in March after co-authoring a critical op-ed on Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. The ruling rejects the Trump administration's attempt to block her transfer. Ozturk's legal team argues her detention violates free speech rights." Russia declares ceasefire with Ukraine during Victory Day "Russia declares a unilateral ceasefire lasting until midnight on 11 May, marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, a national holiday, commemorating the 1945 defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. President Vladimir Putin's move to pause hostilities during the national holiday met resistance from Kiev. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the initiative and warned foreign dignitaries against attending Moscow's celebrations, citing safety concerns. The Kremlin hit back, labelling the warning a “threat,” while spokesman Dmitry Peskov vowed a “swift and effective” military response to any breach by Ukraine." Black smoke rises again as Vatican delays papal decision "Tension runs high in Vatican City as black smoke once again billowed from the Sistine Chapel, signalling no decision yet on the next pope. The 133 cardinals, the most diverse group ever assembled, began their second day of secret voting Thursday. With no clear favourite, speculation swirls—from Italy's Pizzaballa to Sri Lanka's Ranjith. As Catholic pilgrims crowd St Peter's Square, hope lingers as the Christian world awaits the white smoke that will herald the 267th pontiff."

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 family of Edan Alexander approved the publication of a Hamas propaganda video released Saturday, which showed signs of life from the US-Israeli hostage soldier who has been held by the terror group since he was kidnapped on October 7, 2023. Born in Tel Aviv, Alexander grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey. He returned to Israel to enlist in the Israel Defense Forces after graduating from high school in 2022. Fabian fills us in and we hear a segment of the video. This morning, we learned that over 1,600 former IDF paratroopers and infantry soldiers signed a letter demanding the government reach a deal to bring the hostages home, even if it means ending the war. We discuss this latest appeal, which adds to a growing wave of public pressure to end the ongoing war following similar letters from IDF reservist doctors, the Talpiot program, former 8200 intelligence unit members, ex-Mossad members, navy reservists, and reservist air force personnel. We focus on the air force letter, which has brought the most media attention, and hear what steps -- if any -- the IDF is taking to stem this tide. The Israel Defense Forces announced at noon Saturday that it had completed the capture of the Morag Corridor in the southern Gaza Strip, cutting off the city of Rafah from Khan Younis. Fabian explains how this is part of a greater plan to widen the new border buffer zone. Yesterday, the Israeli military carried out an airstrike on a hospital in Gaza City, after telling staff and patients to evacuate ahead of the overnight attack, one of a series of strikes that Israel said were targeting Hamas operational centers. No casualties were reported in the hospital strike, with Israel issuing a warning to evacuate the facility before the attack. We learn where civilians are meant to go during such airstrikes, and in general. Air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen early on Sunday evening. The Houthis claimed to have fired two missiles in the attack, one targeting the Sdot Micha Airbase — where, according to foreign reports, Israel holds nuclear-capable Jericho missiles — and the other aimed at Ben Gurion Airport. Fabian weighs in. On Friday, the IDF confirmed that it participated in a just-completed annual aerial exercise hosted by Greece, which this year included the participation of Qatar -- along with 11 other countries. We ask Fabian how significant this joint exercise is. Please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog for more updates.
