Relatives of Israeli hostages want cease-fire deal from Netanyahu speech

Hostage families

Some family members of hostages still held in Gaza are set to be in the audience when Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday afternoon.

“What we're all hoping to hear is that a deal has been completed,” Efrat Moshkoviz told NPR. She is the aunt of Naama Levy, who turned 20 in captivity last month. Footage of Levy being dragged from the back of a truck, bound and with blood on the seat of her pants, became a symbol of the violence women faced while being kidnapped by Hamas-led militants last October.

Britain will resume funding to UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA

UK Foreign Secretary David LammyBritain's new Labour government said on Friday it would resume funding to the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA in the first major change in how it will approach the Israel-Palestinian conflict after winning power earlier this month.

Britain was one of several countries to halt their funding to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) following accusations by Israel that some agency staff were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war.
British foreign minister David Lammy told parliament he was reassured that the agency, which provides education, health and aid to millions of Palestinians, had taken steps to ensure it has the "highest standards of neutrality", including improving vetting.
Lammy said the UNRWA is the backbone of aid operations in Gaza helping feed about half of the territory's population, and the government would provide 21 million pounds ($27 million) in new funding to the agency.

UN court orders Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territories

UN Counrt orders Israel to endd occupationThe UN’s international court of justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to end its occupation of the Palestinian territories “as rapidly as possible” and make full reparations for its “internationally wrongful acts” in a sweeping and damning advisory opinion that says the occupation violates international law.

In a historic, albeit non-binding, opinion, the court found multiple breaches of international law by Israel including activities that amounted to apartheid.

It will make sobering reading for Israel’s allies, with the court advising that other states are under an obligation not to recognise the occupation as lawful nor to aid or assist it.

Reading the court’s opinion on Friday, the president of the ICJ, Nawaf Salam, said: “The court considers that the violations by Israel of the prohibition of the acquisition of territory by force and of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination have a direct impact on the legality of the continued presence of Israel, as an occupying power, in the occupied Palestinian territory.

United Nations Court: Israel Is Occupying Palestinian Territories Illegally

Israeli settlements illegal: UN CourtThe United Nations’ top court on Friday said Israel is illegally occupying the Palestinian regions it has controlled since 1967 and must end its presence in them — a landmark statement that boosts momentum for a change in Israeli policy.

The court found that Israel is committing major violations of international law, including “de facto annexation” of occupied land and breaking the global prohibition against racial discrimination and apartheid. It concluded that Israel should take steps like evacuating settlers and making reparations to affected Palestinians. It also emphasized Palestinians’ right to self-determination, and said other countries are obliged to cease support for Israel’s occupation and to help end the policy “as rapidly as possible.”

How the Israeli Hostage Rescue Led to One of Gaza’s Deadliest Days

Israel attack in GazaOn June 8, Israel conducted one of the most high-risk operations of the war — a rescue in broad daylight of four hostages held by Hamas in Nuseirat, a densely populated area.

Israel achieved that goal, but within minutes, the operation escalated into a firefight and a series of airstrikes that killed scores of people. The Israeli military said it came under fire by Hamas and ordered the strikes. The New York Times was not able to verify which came first.

The Times analysis — using satellite images, witness accounts and more than 60 videos — revealed that the strikes destroyed or damaged at least 42 buildings. The areas hit included apartment buildings and a crowded market, helping to explain the high death toll.

Palestinian health officials said 274 people were killed, including 64 children. Israel put the total number of dead around 100. Neither toll distinguished between civilians and combatants.

Eric Garner’s ‘I can’t breathe’ continues to echo across NYC and the world 10 years after his death

Eric Garner ten years later

Eric Garner’s dying declaration, “I can’t breathe,” was repeated 11 times on a Staten Island sidewalk. His utterances were muffled by an NYPD officer’s chokehold around his neck.

But the words, immortalized in an onlooker’s cell phone video, continue to echo across New York City and the globe as the 10-year anniversary of his killing approaches.

Chants of “I can’t breathe” still sound in protests against police violence and racial injustice around the world – just as they did that summer a decade ago. The words have graced presidents’ lips, the backs of athletes’ jerseys, and even show up on stage. A Lincoln Center event Friday remembering Garner features a 75-person choir, in a “project that gathers us together as co-conspirators – to breathe and keep breathing any way we can.”

Despite those continuing reverberations, some Black scholars, police reformers and civil rights activists are disappointed there hasn’t been more progress. They count Garner’s death — among a string of police killings of unarmed Black men that came in quick succession – as a catalyst for the reform movement that gave rise to Black Lives Matter, a cause they see as stalled.

Oklahoma identifies first victim in Tulsa race massacre mass grave

Tulsa mass graves

A veteran of the first world war has become the first person identified from graves filled with more than a hundred victims of the 1921 Tulsa massacre of the Oklahoma city’s Black community, the mayor said on Friday.

Using DNA from descendants of his brothers, the remains of CL Daniel – from Georgia – were identified by Intermountain Forensics, said Mayor GT Bynum and lab officials. Daniel was in his 20s when he was killed.

“This is one family who gets to give a member of their family that they lost a proper burial, after not knowing where they were for over a century,” Bynum said.

“His remains show no signs of gunshot wounds. They were identified purely due to the expertise of our team of experts and give us hope that other remains found in similar circumstances could be those of other victims.”
