As Israelis prepare for a mix of celebration and mourning with the return of the hostages, living and dead, Palestinians face a deeper reckoning over their shattered national movement and the absence of any leadership or vision for what comes next
Representing Donald Trump at Tel Aviv's Hostage Square on Saturday evening, special envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were received with a warm embrace, while the mere mention of Netanyahu led to resounding boos. Perhaps it needs to be asked why the hostage families feel that the U.S. cares for and listens to them more than the Israeli government
The claim that this is foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Israel is, of course, idle nonsense. The fate of the Palestinian people is not an Israeli domestic matter, nor is it an Israeli matter at all. The world has not only a right to come to its aid, it has a duty to do so,
Now that the war is over, there are no more excuses. The time has come to establish a state commission of inquiry into the events of October 7: this does not mean a committee for the sake of appearances. One that is legitimate, legal and binding
No transfer, no real estate, no new neighborhood in Gaza for Israeli police, no image of the last Hamas members raising a white flag. One could say that the agreement could have been signed in January 2024, but it simply wasn't attractive enough for all the parties

Last year, Britain reported its second-worst yearr in modern times for antisemitism, with more than 3,500 incidents recorded, the Community Security Trust, which provides security to Jewish organisations across the country, said earlier this year
Footage shows olive harvesters threatened by settlers, who damaged their equipment. On Friday, settlers wounded seven people in an attack which the town's deputy mayor called the 'most violent, extreme and brutal' in recent years
Master Sergeant (Res.) Shmuel Gad Rahamim is the 915th soldier killed since the war started on October 7, 2023. The IDF is investigating whether the grenade exploded while being played with
The hostages are scheduled to return by Monday at 12:00 P.M. under the agreement, but Israeli officials estimate the release could be moved up. While political sources believe locating the bodies of all the deceased hostages in Gaza could take weeks or months, this is not expected to prevent the continued implementation of the deal
