Nella notte i bombardamenti sono tornati a colpire con forza. Le fonti sanitarie di Gaza parlano di almeno venti morti nei raid su case dove intere famiglie stavano dormendo; la dinamica coincide con quanto riportato dalle corrispondenze di Haaretz e dalle agenzie internazionali. L'IDF sostiene di aver reagito a una «violazione della tregua» attribuita a Hamas. È la stessa formula ripetuta da giorni: l'idea che la tregua sia un dispositivo da accendere e spegnere, una variabile tecnica, mentre la vita delle persone diventa il campo di prova. Anche Reuters e Associated Press confermano che migliaia di civili sono stati costretti a spostarsi ancora una volta verso i cosiddetti corridoi umanitari, zone sempre più simili a parcheggi di disperati senza acqua né servizi. Eppure queste condizioni non rientrano mai nel conteggio ufficiale delle “violazioni”. Qui entra in gioco la nostra ossessione per il linguaggio: una parte definisce cosa rompe la tregua; tutto il resto, dalle restrizioni agli aiuti alle case rase al suolo, resta fuori dal quadro. La Cisgiordania continua a essere il fronte che quasi nessuno nomina. Nelle ultime ventiquattr'ore si registrano un palestinese ucciso a Nablus, diversi arresti notturni e nuovi assalti dei coloni: dettagli confermati sia dalle équipe dell'ONU sia dalle cronache locali. È una guerra lenta, che non ha bisogno di dichiarazioni ufficiali per proseguire. Nel frattempo, in Israele crescono ancora le tensioni interne: le famiglie degli ostaggi temono che ogni escalation allontani l'accordo e accusano il governo di usare la tregua come strumento politico. I giornali israeliani ne parlano apertamente, ma questo non sposta la retorica dei vertici. La diplomazia europea continua a ripetere che la tregua è fragile, che serve pazienza. Qui, invece, la tregua appare per quello che è: un guscio vuoto che ogni notte si incrina sotto i colpi. E il linguaggio che dovrebbe proteggerla diventa l'alibi perfetto per non vedere. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Basta, davvero. A Gaza la parola “tregua” continua a funzionare come un anestetico. L'Unicef conta almeno 67 bambini uccisi dall'inizio del cessate il fuoco, quasi due al giorno. Medici Senza Frontiere racconta un raid del 19 novembre: sei feriti, una bambina di nove anni colpita al volto, un quindicenne, un uomo di 71 anni. Nei comunicati ufficiali tutto questo diventa “incidente”, come se bastasse un sinonimo gentile per cancellare la scena. Intanto la mappa della Striscia viene riscritta. L'area gialla controllata dall'esercito supera metà del territorio. A Gaza City i militari avanzano verso Shujaiya, spingendo le famiglie più a ovest dentro quella che le fonti locali chiamano «gabbia». Un uomo sfollato è stato ucciso fuori dalla zona militare, nel punto che l'accordo indicava come relativamente sicuro. Anche questo, nel linguaggio diplomatico, rientra nella “tregua”. In Cisgiordania due ragazzi di 18 e 16 anni sono morti dopo un'incursione a Kafr Aqab. A Nablus e Ramallah gruppi di coloni hanno incendiato magazzini e serre, spesso coperti dall'esercito. La guerra non è ferma: è solo descritta come se lo fosse. Sul piano politico Israele prepara la “seconda fase” dell'accordo con una task force che include ministri contrari alla tregua stessa. Netanyahu lega la riapertura di Rafah alla restituzione dei corpi degli ostaggi e aggiunge che sarebbe «felice» se l'Egitto permettesse agli abitanti di Gaza di andarsene. Ecco perché serve restituire senso alle parole. Se chiamiamo “tregua” giorni in cui si muore, se chiamiamo “pace” un dispositivo di controllo territoriale, allora non stiamo raccontando i fatti: li stiamo coprendo. A Gaza oggi non c'è tregua. C'è una guerra che si prende la libertà di farsi chiamare diversamente. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Nel sud di Gaza, dove la tregua resta parola, gli aerei israeliani colpiscono ancora a est di Gaza City e nei pressi di Khan Yunis: civili feriti, un morto recuperato dalle macerie dei raid dei giorni scorsi. Nel frattempo, nei palazzi della diplomazia, avanza la proposta di una missione internazionale di «stabilizzazione». Nei comunicati si discute di mandati e regole di ingaggio, nei vicoli si continuano a contare i corpi. I corridoi umanitari vengono presentati come prova che «il meccanismo funziona», ma nei campi profughi decine di migliaia di persone vivono sotto la pioggia, senza tende adeguate né rifugi sicuri. Le prime piogge invernali trasformano il fango in acqua nera, aggravano l'emergenza sanitaria, spengono i generatori: la lunga fila di convogli che entra dalla frontiera non cambia l'aritmetica del collasso. A nord, la guerra “in pausa” resta solo nelle dichiarazioni. UNIFIL segnala che un carro armato israeliano ha sparato colpi pesanti a ridosso dei caschi blu lungo la Blue Line, episodio definito «grave violazione». In Cisgiordania un'altra operazione tra Nablus e i villaggi vicini lascia un palestinese ucciso e case devastate, mentre le aggressioni dei coloni proseguono lontano dai riflettori. Sul piano politico, Benjamin Netanyahu ripete che uno Stato palestinese «non sarà consentito», proprio mentre al Consiglio di Sicurezza si discute della futura forza per Gaza. A sud si amministrano tregue parziali, a nord si alzano muri di cemento, al centro si cancella qualsiasi orizzonte di rappresentanza. A Gaza «stabilizzazione» è il nome di un equilibrio costruito sul rumore dei droni. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Le prime piogge sono arrivate a Gaza come un'altra forma di assedio. Le tende si riempiono d'acqua, le latrine tracimano, gli sfollati spostano i materassi da un angolo all'altro per salvarli dall'umidità. L'85% delle infrastrutture idriche e fognarie è distrutto e l'inverno entra da ogni fessura mentre la tregua del 10 ottobre resta una parola che non riesce a proteggere nessuno. Dentro questa pausa armata si è disegnata la nuova geografia del dopoguerra: la “Yellow Line” che taglia la Striscia da nord a sud, la metà orientale sotto controllo militare, la metà occidentale lasciata alla sopravvivenza tra tende e macerie. In quaranta giorni di “cessate il fuoco” sono stati uccisi centinaia di palestinesi in scontri, raid isolati o colpi sparati ai checkpoint. È un conflitto che ha cambiato intensità, non logica. Fuori dal cono di luce delle trattative internazionali, la Cisgiordania scivola in una routine di violenza che nessun tavolo diplomatico riesce a nominare. A Salfit una moschea è stata incendiata dai coloni; nei villaggi gli ulivi vengono sradicati durante la raccolta; a Nablus e Hebron gli attacchi notturni sono ormai un'abitudine. Le ONG documentano pestaggi, incendi, aggressioni: un sistema di impunità che si consolida mentre la comunità internazionale discute di “stabilizzazione”. A New York le grandi potenze trattano modelli di controllo, forze straniere, governance futura. Intorno alle parole “pace duratura” si muove un laboratorio geopolitico che somiglia poco alla vita dei campi allagati, delle fogne rotte, dei valichi dove i camion degli aiuti entrano col contagocce. Il diario di oggi finisce dove inizia il paradosso: si disegna il futuro di Gaza senza guardare a Gaza. In quelle tende fradice, sotto quella pioggia sporca, c'è già la risposta che nessuna risoluzione riesce a vedere. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

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. President Isaac Herzog announced Wednesday that US President Donald Trump had written him to ask him to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently standing trial on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Magid brings other instances in which the US president has pushed for the end of Netanyahu's trial and describes the contents of this new “Free Bibi” letter. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday said “there’s some concern” about events in the West Bank undermining efforts to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza, in his first remarks on the latest spate of settler violence. This comes after a week in which dozens of Israelis launched a large-scale arson attack on Palestinians in the West Bank, targeting factories and farmland between the major cities of Nablus and Tulkarem. Magid reports on Rubio's statements, gives the context for them, and explains how they mark a departure for the Trump administration. Early this week, Magid exclusively reported that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas fired his finance minister for allowing payments to Palestinian security prisoners through an old mechanism -- often called “pay-to-slay.” These stipends are awarded to the prisoners or their families, giving them monthly salaries based on the length of their sentence, which correlates to the severity of the crimes. We hear why these payments raise such red flags for Israelis and Americans. Syria’s leader Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the White House on Monday and made a media splash as the former terrorist was shot shooting hoops and enjoying Trump's branded cologne. In an interview with The Washington Post, al-Sharaa claimed the US president supports his insistence on a complete Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territory as a condition for a comprehensive security deal between the long-warring neighboring countries. Magid weighs in. US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the Central Asian, Muslim-majority country of Kazakhstan will be the first country to join the Abraham Accords in his second term. Since the nation established diplomatic relations with the Jewish state in 1992, shortly after it broke away from the Soviet Union, what does either country gain by this step?

Send us a textIn this conversation, Ricardo Karam meets Munib Al-Masri, a man whose life story mirrors a century of Palestinian history.From his childhood in Nablus, where he first heard of the Balfour Declaration, to his youth spent studying geology and politics in the United States, and his return home determined to make knowledge and success serve identity rather than exile. Munib Al-Masri is a businessman who viewed wealth as a responsibility, not a privilege, building institutions, universities, and a national economy rooted in dignity and belonging.He speaks about his deep friendship with Yasser Arafat, about leadership and sacrifice, about wars, displacement, and endless political deals and about Palestine, which he calls his only party and eternal cause. Today, in what he describes as a “war of extermination,” he shares his legacy with the younger generation, calling for faith, resilience, and rebuilding rather than despair.Join Ricardo Karam and Munib Al-Masri in an honest and inspiring exchange that captures the journey of a man who carried Palestine in his heart and through his life leaving us with one lasting truth: A nation never dies as long as it keeps telling its story.في هذا الحديث، يلتقي ريكاردو كرم برجلٍ تختصر سيرته قرنًاً من حكاية فلسطين … منيب المصري، الذي عاش وطنه بكل أسمائه وحدوده وأحلامه.من طفولةٍ في نابلس سمع خلالها عن وعد بلفور، إلى شبابٍ قضاه في المنفى والدراسة بين الجيولوجيا والسياسة في الولايات المتحدة، ثم عودةٍ جعلت من العلم والعمل وسيلتين لخدمة الهوية لا للهجرة عنها. منيب المصري، رجل الأعمال الذي رأى في الثروة واجباً وطنياً، بنى المؤسسات والجامعات، وغرس فكرة أنّ النجاح الحقيقي هو ما يُترك "لهم" لا "لك".يتحدث عن صداقته العميقة بياسر عرفات، عن معنى القيادة والتضحية، عن الحروب والنزوح والصفقات، وعن فلسطين التي بقيت حزبه الوحيد رغم تبدّل الخرائط. وفي زمنٍ يسميه "حرب إبادة"، يوجّه وصاياه إلى الشباب، داعياً إلى الإيمان والعمل والتمسّك بالجذور مهما اشتدّ العصف.انضمّوا إلى ريكاردو كرم ومنيب المصري في حوارٍ صادق ومُلهم يوثّق رحلة رجلٍ حمل فلسطين في قلبه، وسار بها على دروب القرن، ليقول في النهاية: "لا يموت وطنٌ ما دام يحكي."

Estamos recorriendo Tierra Santa y el proceso de paz que se firmó hace ocho días. Esto nos lleva a hablar de los cristianos en esta región del mundo. En Cisjordania, en Nablus, la comunidad cristiana la componen unas 600 personas, con un sacerdote español, el padre Miguel. Él lleva aquí cinco años y reconoce que cada vez hay menos cristianos en la zona. Aquí no se puede programar para la semana que viene. Lo que está ocurriendo en Gaza se sigue con especial atención y es que muchos cisjordanos tienen amigos o tienen familiares dentro de la Franja. Algunos ya han conseguido salir, han podido escaparse, pero en general es un tema que causa dolor. En esa parroquia del padre Romanelli han vivido algunos de los familiares de los parroquianos de Miguel. Para él lo más difícil es encontrar una palabra de ánimo para esas personas que no saben qué va a hacer de sus familiares. Se espera que el Señor esté en ese momento.

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 Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. A reportedly routine policy meeting in the White House made headlines, says Magid, as it included two senior figures, Jared Kushner, son-in-law and former adviser to US President Donald Trump, and former UK prime minister Tony Blair. Magid discusses how Kushner and Blair have been working behind the scenes on a postwar Gaza management plan. He also notes that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's strategic adviser, Ron Dermer, was at the meeting as well, pointing to the closeness between the US and Israel on this issue. Magid talks about an interview with a former State Department spokesman for Palestinian-Israeli affairs who was recently fired for perceived missteps regarding Trump administration policies concerning Israel. Finally, he takes a look at recent IDF activity in the West Bank, examining whether that region is destabilizing as pressure points reach urban areas such as Ramallah and Nablus.

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."

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. On this 600th day since the Hamas onslaught on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, we do a zoomed-out update on all seven fronts of the war and where they stand today. Fabian begins the program by updating us on new humanitarian aid operations in the Gaza Strip and chaos on Tuesday as Gazans temporarily overtook a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation disbursement center near Rafah. We turn to the West Bank where Israeli forces raided foreign exchange stores in Ramallah and Nablus on Tuesday, accusing their parent company of “connections with terrorist organizations,” according to an army closure notice. Fabian delves into other -- as yet -- unrealized fears regarding the West Bank. We reported this morning that Israel and Syria are in direct contact and have, in recent weeks, held face-to-face meetings aimed at calming tensions and preventing conflict in the border region between the two longtime foes. Fabian weighs in on the evolution of the over 19 months of war there. Although there were early drones and missiles coming from Iran-backed militias in Iraq, recent news indicates negotiations to release Elizabeth Tsurkov, the Israeli-Russian researcher who was taken hostage in Iraq two years ago, are at advanced stages. For the past six months, the militias have not targeted Israel, explains Fabian. However, even as we were recording today's episode, the Israel Air Force retaliated against the Iran-backed Houthis' relentless ballistic missiles and struck the Houthi-held Sanaa airport. Again. Since November 27, 2024, there has been a negotiated ceasefire with the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terrorist army. But all is not quiet and, as Fabian explains, Israel will likely remain in fighting form along the border -- permanently. And finally, the great unknown: reports from The New York Times indicate that US officials are worried that Israel could decide to carry out strikes on Iran’s nuclear program without much warning. Fabian reviews what we know. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

In September 2024, an Israeli sniper shot and killed Turkish American human rights activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi outside of Nablus in the northern West Bank. Her murder was a devastating example of a sharp uptick in military and settler violence against both Palestinian residents and the international and Israeli activists who work with them. For years, solidarity activists such as Eygi have responded to the violent reality in the West Bank by physically accompanying Palestininans in the hopes that their “protective presence” will serve as a buffer to prevent attacks. This strategy has received heightened attention thanks to the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which features Palestinians resisting colonialism in the villages of Masafer Yatta, and Israelis engaging in protective presence with them. For those engaged in solidarity work in the West Bank, this moment of increased violence has amplified ever-present moral questions: What is my responsibility to intervene when someone else is in danger? How much risk must I take upon myself to try and protect my Palestinian comrades? And to what extent must I recruit others to join me in taking that risk? In this chevruta, Rabbi Aryeh Bernstein explores these quandaries with Jewish Currents assistant editor Maya Rosen. As a long-time protective presence activist, Rosen is regularly weighing the danger that she and the activists she recruits will take on in the course of their work: How can she adequately prepare people without scaring them off? And how can she communicate the rewards of the work alongside the risks? Bernstein and Rosen discuss these questions through the lens of three texts—two Talmudic texts, and one Holocaust-era responsum—with the aim of helping those who are attempting to share the burden of serious risk find pathways to greater collective courage.This podcast is part of our chevruta column, named for the traditional method of Jewish study, in which a pair of students analyzes a religious text together. In each installment, Jewish Currents matches leftist thinkers and organizers with a rabbi or Torah scholar. The activists bring an urgent question that arises in their own work; the Torah scholar leads them in exploring their question through Jewish text. By routing contemporary political questions through traditional religious sources, we aim to address the most urgent ethical and spiritual problems confronting the left. Each column includes a written conversation, podcast, and study guide. You can find the column based on this conversation here, and a study guide here.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).” Articles Mentioned:All Jewish sources are cited in the study guide, linked above“

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.

FIDF Chief Executive Officer Steve Weil welcomes Rabbi Stewart Weiss, Director and Founder of the Jewish Outreach Center in Ra'anana, and father of IDF Sgt. Ari Weiss HY”D, to discuss Rabbi Weiss' journey making Aliyah, and being the father of a fallen solider. Rabbi Weiss recounts his son Ari's challenges trying to get into an elite anti-terrorist unit in the IDF, initially struggling but ultimately becoming an explosives expert and a sharpshooter. Ari, Rabbi Weiss explains, was in demand and was flown about into the field on many missions. Ari fell in battle in Nablus at the age of 21 on September 30, 2002. Rabbi Weiss took on the responsibility of comforting other parents of fallen soldiers, being open and honest about his battle dealing with the pain and challenges of the loss of a child entering the prime of his or her life.  Rabbi Weiss explains that one of the things that has strengthened him most is speaking with other families and experiencing their strength in the face of loss. While Rabbi Weiss misses his son dearly, he is proud of the sacrifice that his son, and all sons and daughters serving in the IDF, made for the safety of Israel's citizenry.Donate NOW at FIDF.org for the fastest and most direct way to give IDF Soldiers what they need most. 100% of your contribution will go to meet their emergency humanitarian needs.

Rasheed Abueideh is a Palestinian game designer from a village near Nablus in the West Bank. He gained international recognition with his game "Liyla and the Shadows of War", which tells the story of a young girl and her father navigating a decimated Gaza during the Israeli aggression of 2014. Despite initial attempts from Apple to censor the game, Rasheed and supporters of his art fought for its inclusion which was eventually successful. In this audio podcast for Palestine Deep Dive, composer and sound designer Sami El-Enany learns about Rasheed's latest project, "Dreams On A Pillow”, a stealth game set during the ethnic cleansing and violent displacement of Palestinians in the 1948 Nakba. The game follows the story of a Palestinian woman who carries a pillow instead of her child by mistake after fleeing an Israeli massacre. Set in multiple timelines, the game aims to preserve the memory of pre-Zionist Palestine and highlight the trauma endured by Palestinians. Sami El-Enany is a composer and sound designer. Through his practice and research, Sami is delving into the sonics of solidarity, exploring sound as resonance for union. The game has entered the final days of its crowdfunding campaign which can be found at: dreamsonapillow.com __________________________ Please consider supporting Palestine Deep Dive by becoming a monthly subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

Two women in their 60s and a man aged about 40 were murdered and 10 people were wounded in a shooting attack near the West Bank settlement of Kedumim, west of Nablus. The terror attack was committed in the village Funduk, on Route 55 in Samaria. Two terrorists armed with rifles shot at two private Israeli vehicles and a bus. The 2 women fatalities were traveling in one private vehicle, and the third is a man who was on board the bus. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with local resident Yigal Dilmoni, founder of American Friends of Judea and Samaria, who says the IDF should act in West Bank Palestinian villages, such as Funduk, like it acts in Gaza.

After last year's October 7 attack, the Israeli army has justified its brutal offensive in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas. But the aftermath of October 7 witnessed an escalation of violence in the West Bank, the Palestinian territory not controlled by Hamas.In the final episode of our three-part mini-series Gaza: One Year Later, Sreenivasan Jain investigates fears that the West Bank is emerging as the new Gaza.Jain reports from Qusra, a village in Nablus, in the West Bank, which witnessed the biggest number of Palestinians being killed by Israeli settlers in a 48 hour period in the aftermath of October 7th, even as Israeli forces looked on. As an activist from Qusra told Jain, “The soldiers are always with the settlers”. Jain speaks to a member of Regavim, an Israeli settler group that is trying to speed up the demolition of Palestinian structures in the West Bank. As Israel's aggression ramps up, it is triggering an upsurge of armed Palestinian resistance. Jain meets fighters of the newly formed Jenin Brigade, who say they are willing to die for their cause.

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 on today's episode. Three Israeli men were shot dead by a terrorist at the Allenby Bridge crossing between Jordan and the West Bank. The assailant, reportedly a truck driver from Jordan, arrived at the terminal and opened fire at the crossing's employees. One of the three victims of the terror shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge Crossing this morning is named as Yohanan Shchori, 61, from the West Bank settlement of Ma'ale Efraim. The second victim of the shooting attack at the Allenby Bridge crossing is named as Yuri Birnbaum, 65, from the West Bank settlement of Na'ama. An American woman was shot and killed by IDF troops during a protest near Nablus in the northern West Bank on Friday. Separately, a 13-year-old Palestinian girl was reported shot dead when extremist settlers stormed a village near Nablus and clashed with villagers. We learn about both incidents. Two Palestinian Islamic Jihad battalion commanders were killed in a recent Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip. Also on Saturday, the IDF said it had carried out airstrikes on command rooms operating from two former schools in Gaza City. We learn first about the strikes in the school compounds and then hear about a strike in the humanitarian zone near a hospital that killed the two PIJ commanders. More than 50 rockets were launched from Lebanon at the Galilee Panhandle and Kiryat Shmona area overnight, some of which impacted Kiryat Shmona, causing damage. On Friday, during a tour of the Golan Heights, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the IDF is “very focused” on fighting Hezbollah and preparing offensive actions in Lebanon against the Iran-backed terror group. What is offensive is Halevi referring to?

*) Turkish-American activist shot dead by Israeli sniper — autopsy An autopsy report of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American activist, has confirmed an Israeli sniper killed her. Nablus governor has said the autopsy results indicated Eygi's cause of death was a gunshot wound inflicted by a sniper, specifically targeting her head. Palestinian officials had earlier also suggested that Eygi's death was likely the result of deliberate targeting by an Israeli sniper. *) Israelis rally for hostage swap as Netanyahu's government faces pressure Israeli protesters took to the streets demanding a hostage swap deal with the Palestinian factions in Gaza. Thousands of protesters gathered in several cities across Israel, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and the Karkur Junction area near Haifa. Protesters chanted slogans, calling on Benjamin Netanyahu's government to immediately conclude a hostage swap deal. *) Türkiye slams Israeli FM's remarks as 'full of lies' The Turkish government has condemned a recent social media post by Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, calling it lies and slander targeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Türkiye. In an official statement, Turkish authorities pointed out that Katz holds no real credibility, even within the Netanyahu government, which is infamously remembered for its crimes against humanity, leaving a dark stain on history. According to the statement, Katz is attempting to remain relevant by drawing the attention of social media users in Türkiye in a bid to secure his position within what it described as a "genocide network." *) Meta removes TRT Arabi documentary on Israeli attacks against journalists Facebook, owned by Meta, has removed a documentary produced by TRT Arabi that highlights Israeli crimes against journalists in Gaza and southern Lebanon. On August 30, TRT Arabi aired a documentary titled "Journalism Under Genocide," which shed light on the experiences of journalists covering the Israeli war on Gaza and their work in southern Lebanon. The film traces the systematic killings carried out by the occupation forces against journalists since October 7, highlighting key stories of journalists being targeted while performing their duties. *) Boeing's Starliner capsule returns to Earth NASA has announced that Boeing's uncrewed Starliner spacecraft landed at New Mexico's White Sands Space Harbor. The spacecraft was undocked from the International Space Station for its return to Earth. However, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will remain aboard until February 2025.

*) Israel bombs schools and homes in Gaza Israel has killed at least 13 Palestinians and wounded another 15 in fresh strikes on a school sheltering refugees and a residential building in Gaza. At least eight of the dead were in refugee tents at Halima al-Sa'diyya School in Jabalia in northern Gaza. As usual, the Israeli military called the strikes "precise". *)Turkish activist shot on Israeli politicians' orders — Palestine The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has said the killing of a Turkish-American activist by the Israeli army in the northern occupied West Bank was carried out on the orders of Israeli politicians. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a Turkish-American peace activist, was shot dead by Israeli forces during a protest against illegal Israeli settlements in the town of Beita, near Nablus city in the northern occupied West Bank. In a statement, the Foreign Ministry called Aysenur's killing "an integral part of the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people." *) UN expert slams Netanyahu's 'starvation campaign' in Gaza The UN independent investigator on the right to food has accused Israel of carrying out a "starvation campaign" against Palestinians during its genocidal war in besieged Gaza. In a report this week, investigator Michael Fakhri said Tel Aviv began to block all food, water, fuel, and other supplies into the blockaded Gaza on 9th October. He said that never in post-war history had a population been made to go hungry so quickly and so completely as was the case for the 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza. *) Court delays Trump's sentencing in 'hush money' case until after election Sentencing for Donald Trump in his New York "hush money" trial has been delayed until after November's election as he battles Democrat Kamala Harris in the knife-edge White House race. The former US president was scheduled to be sentenced on September 18 for falsifying business records in a scheme to silence an adult movie star's politically damaging story. However, Judge Juan Merchan postponed it until November 26, three weeks past the November 5 election, as requested by Trump's lawyers. *) West Africa flooding displaces nearly 1M people: aid group International charity Save the Children has said severe flooding in West Africa has displaced nearly 950,000 people and disrupted children's education at the start of the school year. The NGO has said hundreds of thousands of children now displaced from their homes are facing disease, hunger from crop destruction, and disruption to their education, as schools have become crowded with fleeing families or damaged in the floods.

It's terrible that the world (The Collective West) values some lives over others, but we are waging an Information War to end the violence in Palestine and must use what levers we can. At this time, the family of the activist has requested privacy as they mourn their loss. Their wish to grieve in peace should be respected by all, as they navigate this tragic and difficult situation. During the weekly demonstration in Beita, Palestine, on the morning of September 6th, 2024, the Israeli army intentionally shot and killed an international human rights activist with the International Solidarity Movement. The demonstration, which primarily involved men and children praying, was met with force from the Israeli army stationed on a hill. The volunteer died shortly after being transported to a local hospital in Nablus.

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. Four Israeli settlers, including one minor, were detained overnight by police over their suspected involvement in an attack on the Palestinian West Bank village of Jit last week. According to a joint statement issued by police and the Shin Bet, the four are suspected of terrorism against Palestinians in several incidents, including the attack on Jit. We explore how rare this accusation is. The army announced it was operating at “peak readiness” three weeks ago, following the dual assassinations in Teheran and Beirut, and was able to immediately pivot to try to avert any attack from Iran and Hezbollah. Fabian assesses whether this is still the case amid the continuing conflict along the northern border. More than 150 tunnels have been demolished along Gaza's southern border, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced Wednesday while speaking with soldiers at the Philadelphi Corridor, as the army said it destroyed some 30 terror sites and killed dozens of gunmen in airstrikes across the enclave over the past day. We hear what else is happening on the ground. Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, in his last speech as head of the Military Intelligence Directorate, said Wednesday that he was responsible for not providing a warning ahead of Hamas's October 7 terror onslaught. He also seemed to indicate that others who are responsible for the failure should likewise take responsibility and leave the IDF. But where would he stop? Amid a persistent manpower shortage caused by the ongoing war in Gaza, the defense establishment has started recalling to duty some 15,000 previously exempted reservists. We hear who is affected by this recall to reserves even as only seven ultra-Orthodox men report for duty yesterday -- and 70 in the past month -- amid riots. For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Gallant: IDF razed 150 tunnels on Egypt-Gaza border, defeated Hamas's Rafah Brigade Israeli hurt in rocket barrage on Golan; Fatah official tied to Iran killed in Sidon strike Outgoing IDF intel chief Haliva says he failed to warn of Oct. 7, urges state probe Amid troop shortage, IDF begins calling up 15,000 previously released reservists IDF: Only some 70 Haredi men have reported to induction centers since High Court ruling Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

*) Israel intensifies its deadly raids on West Bank's refugee camp The Israeli army stormed the Balata refugee camp in eastern Nablus in the northern part of the occupied West Bank for the fourth time in 24 hours. The Palestinian news agency, Wafa, reported that military forces stormed the camp amid heavy gunfire, the deployment of snipers and the arrival of reinforcements, accompanied by a bulldozer. Activists on social media shared videos allegedly showing military reinforcements heading toward the camp, and videos that had the sounds of gunfire, which they claimed were from clashes between Palestinian groups and the Israeli army. *) Applause for Netanyahu ‘major eclipse of reason': Erdogan Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed shame “in the name of humanity” over the incident in the US Congress, which not only hosted but applauded Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu, the main architect of the massacres in Palestine's Gaza. Erdogan said, “This is a major eclipse of reason for America to spread out the red carpet for someone like Netanyahu and then applaud his lies till their palms swell.” The president voiced concern that “the killer of 40,000 innocent people” received applause from an institution such as the US Congress. *) North Korea vows ‘total destruction' of enemies if Kim Jong-un orders war North Korea vowed to “totally destroy” its enemies in case of war when leader Kim Jong-un gives an order, state media reported. Senior military officials made the comments “out of surging hatred” towards the US and South Korea at a meeting attended by Kim to celebrate the 71st Korean War armistice anniversary. North Korea and the United States do not have diplomatic ties and talks over reducing tensions and denuclearizing North Korea have been stalled since 2019. *) UK government declares country ‘broke and broken' Britain's government declared the country was “broke and broken” ahead of an assessment of the public finances. Elected to run the world's sixth-largest economy in a victory on July 4, Labour has spent much of its first three weeks in power telling the public that things are worse than expected in almost every area of public policy. Finance minister Rachel Reeves will set out the findings of a fiscal review in a statement to parliament that will accuse the Conservative Party of making unfunded spending commitments to try to win public support. And finally… *) ‘Explosion' threat evacuates Paris media centre during Games French police temporarily closed the area around the media centre that is serving journalists covering the Paris Olympic Games because of an “explosion risk”. Journalists and citizens were evacuated and the cause of the risk was not disclosed. Police later reopened the area to pedestrian traffic and access to and from the media centre returned to normal.

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. It is day 237 of the war with Hamas. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Two soldiers seriously hurt in a car-ramming attack near the West Bank city of Nablus on Wednesday night have died of their wounds, the military announced. An initial investigation into a ramming attack has found that the incident unfolded in a matter of seconds and that soldiers did not have time to open fire to attempt to stop the attack. Hebrew media reports said the suspect turned himself over to the Palestinian Authority's security forces, after fleeing into Nablus. Berman was recently in Nablus with the IDF unit in charge of the region. What did he learn? According to early results from South Africa's elections yesterday, the African National Congress appears set to lose the parliamentary majority it has held for 30 years. Could Israel see any real change in agenda, for example at the International Court of Justice case alleging Israel is committing genocide in Gaza? Brazil has reportedly formally recalled its ambassador to Israel and will not immediately appoint a replacement. Is this move as particularly harmful to Israel? Yesterday National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi said in an interview with Kan public radio that “this year, we expect another seven months of combat, in order to deepen our achievement and achieve what we define as the destruction of the military and governing capabilities of both Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.” Berman gives an overview of the IDF's recent achievements, including the operational control of the Philadelphi Corridor. For the latest updates, please see The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Two soldiers killed in car-ramming attack outside West Bank city of Nablus Israel watches as South Africa's hostile ANC set to lose support but remain in power Brazil said to withdraw ambassador from Israel, no plans to appoint new envoy 3 soldiers killed in blast in booby-trapped building in Gaza's Rafah IDF takes control of key Gaza-Egypt border road, locating at least 20 tunnels Top Israeli official says fighting in Gaza likely to last at least another 7 months Reports: In Rafah strike, IDF used US bombs designed to reduce casualties Under a rug in Gazan home, IDF troops found shaft leading to bodies of 4 hostages THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Civilians and soldiers killed in Hamas's onslaught on Israel THOSE WE ARE MISSING: The hostages and victims whose fate is still unknown Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Displaced Palestinians trying to return to their homes in northern Gaza recounted being shot at by the Israeli army in a video verified by Al Jazeera on Sunday. At least 33,729 Palestinians have been killed and 76,371 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas's October 7 attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive. Palestinian doctors said they have discovered another mass grave in the vicinity of Gaza City's al-Shifa Hospital, recently besieged by Israeli soldiers. At least 10 bodies have been recovered so far. Israel's army chief has said Iran's weekend attack “will be met with a response” shortly after Israel's war cabinet convened to discuss how to respond. At least two more Palestinians have been killed in the village of Aqraba, southeast of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, in the latest of a series of attacks carried out by Israeli settlers. Fighters with the Lebanese Hezbollah group detonated an explosive device after Israeli soldiers “crossed the border”, wounding four troops. The Israeli army has renewed warnings for Palestinians not to return to Gaza's north a day after its forces opened fire on desperate civilians trying to return home.You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
