The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to comment on whether Mr. Eliyahu’s remarks had represented the government’s official position.
NYT: Amid rising starvation in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli government minister said on Thursday that Israel had no duty to alleviate hunger in the territory and was seeking to expel its population.
In his letter announcing that France will recognize the State of Palestine, President Emmanuel Macron thanks and commends Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for: 1-Condemning the October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas. 2-Calling for the immediate release of hostages held by…
Us writing about this story in early June when it hit the docket and every major news org writing about it as if it’s new today because SDNY finally put out a press release is the stuff is that worries me about the future of journalism.
