As a #Jewish leftist born in #Israel, I feel a profound sense of grief and defeat.
Two weeks ago we published a subscriber update to our overview #map of territorial administration in #Israel/#Palestine, with detailed timeline of events since December.
The map is still basically correct today, pending possible Israeli offensive on #Rafah.

Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of blocking aid to #Palestinians in violation of a UN court order

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — "Israel has failed to comply with an order by the United Nations’ top court to provide urgently needed aid to desperate people in the #GazaStrip#HumanRightsWatch said Monday, a month after a landmark ruling in The Hague ordered Israel to moderate its war.
"In a preliminary response to a South African petition accusing Israel of #genocide, the U.N.’s top court ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza. It stopped short of ordering an end to its military offensive that has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe in the tiny Palestinian enclave. Israel vehemently denies the charges against it, saying it is fighting a war in self-defense.
"One month later and nearly five months into the war, preparations are underway for Israel to expand its ground operation into #Rafah, #Gaza’s southernmost town along the border with Egypt, where 1.4 million Palestinians have flooded into in search of safety.
"Early Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu’s office said the army had presented to the War Cabinet its operational plan for Rafah as well as plans to evacuate civilians from the battle zones. It gave no further details."

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, confirmed this Saturday his plans to eliminate Hamas and said that he will order his Army to move into the city of Rafah, south of Gaza.
#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
A #Hamas source has told news agency Agence France-Presse that a delegation is heading to #Cairo to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators, after Israeli negotiators held talks with the mediators on Tuesday. #Egypt
#US President #JoeBiden said #Israel has agreed not to engage in military activities during #Ramadan in the #GazaStrip, where it is at war with #Hamas militants, and said the Jewish state risked losing support from the rest of the world as #Palestinians die in high numbers.
Biden also said Israel had committed to make it possible for Palestinians to evacuate from #Rafah in #Gaza's south before its campaign against Hamas. #GazaCeasefire
#Palestinians observe #Ramadan, the holiest month on the #IslamicValendar, in Rafah in the southern #GazaStrip on March 11, 2024. The month of fasting and prayer takes place this year amid a war between #Israel and #Hamas, with millions dislocated from their homes and food and other necessities in short supply. Ramadan runs through April 9.
