There are no immediate plans for the military to enter Hamas-controlled Gaza, and Israel is willing to give time for the U.S. plan to move forward, Israeli officials said. Moving ahead with any war plans would be a decision to be made by Israel’s political leaders, another Israeli official said.

A shock and awe. The phrase is apt in describing what Israel has done in the occupied West Bank almost immediately following the events of October 7, 2023, and the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Sen. Scott Wiener referred to Israel's war in Gaza as genocide for the first time Sunday, changing course after he got heckled at the first major congressional candidates forum last week. Wiener is one of three top Democratic candidates vying to replace Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

The Israeli military has drawn up plans for a new ground operation inside Gaza, the Wall Street Journal is reporting, citing people briefed on the matter.

Israel’s decision to ban 37 aid groups from the West Bank and Gaza will worsen already desperate conditions for more than 1 million.

Sporadic clashes between the Israel Defense Forces and Gaza militants -- plus deadly IDF strikes -- continue despite the Gaza ceasefire.

Israel said on Thursday it had barred entry to Gaza of foreign medical and humanitarian staff whose organisations were ordered to cease operations unless they register employee details with Israeli authorities and meet other new rules.
