Omer Bartov has written a new book, Israel: What Went Wrong? It's a look at Israel's transformation since Hamasâs attack on Oct. 7, 2023. Since then, Israel has become more warlike, less liberal and more nationalist and religious. Some in Israel's cabinet actively encouraged the carnage on Gaza. Bartov blames the transformation on the way Israelis interpret the Holocaust.
The past week saw the agreementâs terms erode in Gaza. Israel pressed its hold on Gaza further. Israeli settler violence, military raids and a series of killings continued throughout the week. 11 people were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza City on June 4. On June 7 Israeli forces killed at least 13 people.
Lina's family survived the massacre that freed four captives and killed hundreds of innocents in Gaza. After seven months of displacement, they returned to Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Their home had been made uninhabitable in an attack in January, so they rented an apartment overlooking what is now called the âyellow lineâ. On June 8, 2024, a shell struck the apartment, destroying parts of it. Lina's parents, two sisters, Eman and Yasmin, her nine-year-old brother Abdullah, her bedridden grandmother, and me were injured.
The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry found that Palestinian civilians are being subjected to severe rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank.

The UN warns of worsening humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip. Israel reopened the Kerem Shalom Crossing, the only approved cargo crossing into the besieged territory. There are food shortages and a sharp decline in meals to civilians. About 1.5 million Palestinians out of 2.4 million are now homeless in the enclave after the genocidal war by Israel destroyed their homes.
A drone strike killed a young woman and injured at least 15 others near Khan Younis on Friday morning. Another Israeli attack near Gaza City injured a child. The latest Israeli attacks followed the killing on Thursday of at least 11 people, including five members of the same family. Hamas officials arrived in Cairo for planned meetings with Egyptian officials and mediators this weekend to discuss the implementation of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.
Israel's renewed attacks on Lebanon raise questions about Tel Aviv's security agenda. Israel's aggressive actions in the last two and a half years summarize its insatiable hunger. Israelâs understanding of security has been shaped by expansionist policies under the guise of self-preservation since its inception.
Anadolu Agency has launched a dedicated website for its "Gaza Trilogy" project. The trilogy consists of "The Evidence," "The Witness" and "The Perpetrator". The collection has played an important role in bringing the genocide tragedy in Gaza to global attention.
