In August 1950 the Gaza Strip was cut off from the rest of Palestine by a ditch carved into the soil by a single-blade plough pulled by a Caterpillar model D6. Entire homesteads and farms fell within it. Palestinian farmers succeeded in shifting the line. Salman Abu Sitta had been expelled with his family from their village of Ma’in al-Ma'in on 14 May 1948. He is one of the most forceful advocates for Palestinian return.
Rahm Emanuel warned that Benjamin Netanyahu is jeopardizing Israel's alliance with the U.S. The future of the alliance may depend on the outcome of Israel's next election. The leading challenger is Gadi Eisenkot, whose new centrist party has drawn even with or edged ahead of Netanyahu's Likud party in some surveys.

The US House defeated a vote to end Israel aid on Wednesday. US lawmaker Ro Khanna was briefly detained in a Palestinian village by Israeli settlers. The latest round of Israel-Lebanon talks ended in Rome. It's unclear whether Israel will withdraw from the two pilot zones in southern Lebanon. The Board of Peace is progressing with plans for Gaza.
Israel's government has approved more than 1 billion shekels ($334 million) to build and upgrade roads connecting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. The UN considers the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to be occupied Palestinian territory. Since October 8, 2023, Israel has waged a genocide in the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians.
At least five Palestinians have been killed in attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday. Israel and Hamas signed a US-backed agreement to end the war in October. Attacks continue in violation of the agreement with more than 1,100 Palestinians killed since then. Israel's coalition government has prevented reconstruction work in Gaza despite the "ceasefire".
A six-year-old Palestinian boy was hit by a car driven by an Israeli settler in the southern West Bank city of Hebron. Mukhlis Ammar Al Slaimeh said the settler deliberately drove into his son while he was playing with other children near the Israeli military Checkpoint 160. The boy suffered bruising to his face and was taken to hospital, where he is undergoing medical examinations.
Hamas's armed wing has 25,000 fighters despite more than two years of war in the Gaza Strip. About 2,500 of those fighters belong to Hamas's elite Nukhba unit. Israeli security agencies have observed an increase in executions carried out by Hamas against people accused of opposing the movement or collaborating with Israel.
