Israel’s pivot to the right brings unprecedented crackdown on freedom of speech
JERUSALEM — Mahmoud Muna looked on in disbelief as plain-clothes Israeli police officers rifled the shelves in his decades-old bookstore in occupied East Jerusalem.The officers were looking for books they deemed “inciteful,” and in the process detained him and his nephew, Ahmad, for 48 hours.The February raid on two branches of the Educational Bookshop – a well-known bookstore popular among Palestinians, Israelis and foreigners – was a widening of what critics describe as a crackdown on free speech in Israel that has intensified since Hamas’ October 7 attack.Witnesses to the raid said police were looking for any book containing the word “Palestine,” a Palestinian flag, its colors, or any symbol of Palestinian national or political identity.Israel’s police said at the time...

Gaza faces worsening conditions as Israel cuts off electricity supply
GAZA — Israel announced on Sunday it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. It comes after it cut all supplies of goods to the crisis-ravaged Palestinian territory last week.The full effects were not immediately clear, but the arid territory's desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.Israel last week cut of all supplies of good to the territory of over two million people, in an echo of the siege it imposed in the earliest days of its war with Hamas. It seeks to press the militant group to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.Hamas instead wants to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s...

Gaza food prices soar after Israel halts aid deliveries
GAZA — Food prices in Gaza have risen sharply and aid food parcels could soon run out after Israel blocked the entry of humanitarian aid, the UN's humanitarian agency said.OCHA's partners reported that flour and vegetable prices had more than doubled in some cases, with Gazans telling the BBC the same.If the blockade continued, "at least 80 community kitchens may soon run out of stock" and remaining food parcels that "will support 500,000 people, will soon run out", OCHA said.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu chose to stop aid at the weekend, accusing Hamas of stealing supplies and refusing a US proposal to extend the Gaza ceasefire. A Hamas spokesman said the halt was "cheap blackmail".The foreign ministers of France, Germany and the UK issued a...

Trump issues 'last warning' to Hamas as US confirms direct hostage talks
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has issued what he called a "last warning" to Hamas to release the hostages being held in Gaza."I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don't do as I say," Trump said in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform.It comes just hours after the White House confirmed it is holding direct talks with Hamas over the hostages.Washington has until now avoided direct engagement with the group, and there is a longstanding US policy against having direct contact with entities it lists as terrorist organizations.In his social media post, Trump said there would be "hell to pay" if the hostages were not released, while not specifying the nature of the support he...

US rejects alternative Gaza reconstruction plan proposed by Arab leaders
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has rejected a long-awaited plan for the reconstruction of Gaza endorsed by Arab leaders, saying the president stands by his own vision which includes expelling the territory’s Palestinian residents and transforming it into a “riviera” owned by the United States.“The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance,” National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement Tuesday night.“President Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas. We look forward to further talks to bring peace and prosperity to the region.”The postwar plan for the Gaza Strip, which was proposed by Egypt and...

Jabalia, in northern Gaza, was once a bustling and tightly-packed refugee camp
Gazans face tough choices as their future is debated on the global stage
JERUSALEM — The level of destruction in Jabalia when viewed from the air is truly astonishing.A Hiroshima-like wasteland stretches as far as the eye can see. The mangled carcasses of buildings dot the churned-up landscape, some leaning at crazy angles.Great undulating waves of rubble make it all but impossible to make out the geography of this once bustling, tightly packed refugee camp.And yet, as a drone camera flies over the wreckage, it picks out splashes of blue and white where small tent camps have been set up in patches of open ground.And figures, clambering over broken buildings, moving along streets of dirt, where food markets are springing up under tin roofs and canvas awnings. Children using a collapsed roof as a slide.After more than six weeks of Gaza's fragile ceasefire,...
