So if hostages were being held in Shifa Hospital, which more and more evidence is pointing to (including bodies discovered in the area), why exactly couldnโ€™t the Red Cross see them? Surely if they heard hostages were being held in a hospital, they have a duty of care? No?

There are many, many people who have failed the hostages in Gaza, not least the Israeli government and military establishments that could have prevented them from being taken. But the Red Cross and the UN are institutions that are supposed to help save lives. Not help end them.

when Netanyahu became prime minister I was 10 years old, and when Meretz were last in government I was one. Lots of us donโ€™t remember when Israeli politics wasnโ€™t just about prime minister Netanyahu, I canโ€™t explain enough how huge of a deal this is

Initial reports are saying that Yair Lapid has managed to do the impossible and has succeeded in forming a broad coalition government of right wing and left wing parties. The official announcement will probably come tomorrow night.

not that state ordered executions arenโ€™t abhorrent as it is, but the decision made by Arizona to use Zyklon B, the Nazi gas, on death row inmates is particularly repulsive.

Hamas livestreamed their murderous rampage, bragged about it for the world to see, and has now proudly announced that some 250 Israeli hostages are being held in Gaza. But people still want to deny that it happened.

4-year-old Avigail Idan was released tonight, after 51 days in Hamas captivity. Soon she'll be back with her grandparents and her siblings. But not her parents. She's alive because they shielded her body and gave their lives to save her. So much joy mixed with so much pain.

Itโ€™s rare to have a politician who puts the country in front of themselves, and I think Bennett calmly and gracefully saying he tried and failed and handing over leadership to Lapid is a rare example of a politician actually doing that.

Chaim Peri was 79. Amiram Cooper was 84. Yoram Metzger was 80. They deserved to live out their retirement in peace, dignity and surrounded by loved ones. Instead, they were dragged into Gaza by terrorists on October 7 and were killed in captivity.

Hamas has released two hostages with American citizenship, Israel has confirmed. The reason for releasing them is โ€œhumanitarianโ€ they said, but if theyโ€™re so humanitarian what about the other 201? Regardless, two is a start. May they recover from whatever they endured.
