WASHINGTON — The Israeli military has “illegally and indiscriminately” used US munitions to attack school shelters in Gaza, killing hundreds of people, Human Rights Watch (HRW) says.The US-based campaigners’ report, “Gaza: Israeli School Strikes Magnify Civilian Peril,” was published Thursday.Israel’s campaign following the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023 has made the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.1 million people homeless – forcing many to flee their neighborhoods in search of civilian infrastructure.Israel has frequently said its strikes on school facilities in Gaza target embedded Hamas fighters. But HRW said it only found seven instances where the military published details of alleged militants killed – and highlighted two strikes, which killed nearly 50 people,...

BRUSSELS — EU diplomats on Monday failed to agree once again on a partial suspension of Israel from the Horizon Europe fund in response to the war in Gaza, several diplomats said.Gathered online for their regular Mashreq/Maghreb Working Party and despite mounting pressure on Israel over the hunger crisis in Gaza, the 27 EU diplomats still couldn’t reach any qualified majority on a European Commission proposal to cut Israel from partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund.“The situation has not changed,” one EU diplomat said, referring to a formal meeting of EU ambassadors last week which also failed to agree to the Commission’s proposal.

Hundreds of Israeli ex-officials appeal to Trump to help end Gaza war
JERUSALEM — A group of some 600 retired Israeli security officials, including former heads of intelligence agencies, have written to US President Donald Trump to pressure Israel to immediately end the war in Gaza."It is our professional judgement that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel," the officials said."Your credibility with the vast majority of Israelis augments your ability to steer Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government in the right direction: End the war, return the hostages, stop the suffering," they wrote.Their appeal comes amid reports that Netanyahu is pushing to expand military operations in Gaza as indirect ceasefire talks with Hamas have stalled.Israel launched a devastating war in Gaza following Hamas's attack in...

JERUSALEM — Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited and prayed at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site on Sunday, the al-Aqsa compound, triggering a wave of regional condemnation and sparking fears of further escalations in tensions.The provocative move came as Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip continue, with at least 33 Palestinians killed on Sunday enroute to aid distribution points, as global criticisms mount over Israel manufacturing famine-like conditions in the besieged enclave.Ben-Gvir’s visit to the hillside compound threatens to further setback efforts by international mediators, such as Qatar and Egypt, to bring an end to Israel’s almost two-year military offensive on Gaza.The area, which Jews call the ‘Temple Mount’, is the holiest...
