The Latest News from Gaza Middle East Crisis Raids Ease in West Bank but Paletinians Fear Israelis’ Return It has been weeks since Israeli military forces broke into Rifat al-Tebe’s cellphone shop in Tulkarm, breaking the door, smashing display cases and taking merchandise, he said. But Mr. al-Tebe says he has yet to fix anything other than installing a new door, fearful that his repairs would be swiftly undone if the Israeli military raids the area again. Civilians in the Palestinian city in the Israeli-occupied West Bank have for months endured destructive and deadly Israeli military raids targeting members of Palestinian armed groups. In the past few weeks alone, Israeli forces have come and gone multiple times — appearing to withdraw only to return hours or days later. That is leaving residents like Mr. al-Tebe unsure of whether to try anymore to rebuild. “We no longer have the will to continue working — we don’t know what to do, to work or to just sit,” he said. “We’re afraid they

  Biden calls for humanitarian ‘pause’ in Gaza but stops short on calling for ceasefire 03:06  ,  Shweta Sharma US president Joe Biden said there is a need for a humanitarian “pause” in the Israel-Hamas war after he was interrupted by a protester calling for ceasefire in Gaza. Mr Biden was speaking to a crowd of supporters in Minneapolis about his reasons for running for president in 2020 when a woman got up and yelled: “Mr President, if you care about Jewish people, as a rabbi, I need you to call for a cease-fire.” “I think we need a pause,” Mr Biden said. Mr Biden’s latest remark was a subtle departure for the president and top White House aides, who throughout the Mideast crisis have been steadfast in stating they will not dictate how the Israelis carry out their military operations in response to the 7 October attack by Hamas. The White House has refused to call for a cease-fire but has signaled that the Israelis should consider humanitarian pauses to allow civilians to receive aid

Israel-Palestine war: In Jordan, young protesters want to ‘liberate Palestine’   On Wednesday night, two kilometres away from the Israeli embassy in the Jordanian capital, Ali Abu Musameh held a sign that reads, “Paradise is closer than Sinai.” Ali, 26, and young protesters like him say they are ready to die defending the Palestinians from the Israeli occupation. They would like the Jordanian government to open the borders with Palestine and "allow them to fight there". It was the day after the  Israeli  bombardment of al-Ahli  hospital  in Gaza that killed at least 471 displaced  Palestinian  civilians and patients.  Israel denied responsibility, claiming a rocket belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad failed to launch properly and hit the hospital. Jordan's King Abdullah II, however, blamed Israel and described the incident as a "massacre" and "war crime". The Jordanian government declared three days of mourning for those killed in the hospital s

  Israel-Palestine latest news: Up to 10 British hostages taken by Hamas Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has said that it is not “unreasonable” to estimate that up to 10 civilians were taken hostage by Hamas in last week’s bloody assault on Israel. Speaking on Sky News this morning, Clevery added: “It is in Israel’s interest to avoid civilian casualties and Palestinian casualties because Hamas clearly wants to turn this into a wider Arab-Israeli war or indeed a war between the Muslim world and the wider world.” The Gaza Health Ministry said 2,329 Palestinians have been killed since the fighting erupted, already making it the deadliest of the five Gaza wars. “I have received regular commitments from the Israeli leadership, both military and civilian, that they are all conscious that the people of Palestinian are being used by Hamas,” he said. “They recognise that and they’re very conscious of their responsibilities.” A spokesman for the Israeli army told CNN that the top priority in th

Israel Latest: Gaza Air Strikes to Intensify Before ‘Next Stage (Bloomberg) -- Israel said it will step up aerial strikes over Gaza in preparation for the “next stage” of its military operation, likely a ground invasion. https://uzairtalk.blogspot.com/2023/10/israel-palestine-war-in-jordan-young.html i latest-news- Food and medical supplies began crossing into Gaza from Egypt for the first time since the Israel-Hamas war erupted two weeks ago, addressing a key demand of US, European and Arab leaders as the humanitarian situation in the besieged territory worsens. Dozens of leaders and senior officials from the Middle East, Europe and Africa converged on Cairo, searching for ways to prevent the Israel-Hamas war becoming a wider conflict — and airing mostly entrenched viewpoints.
