University of Maryland professor Shibley Telhami says US President Joe Biden is making his decisions on Palestine and Israel “based on personal beliefs, personal preferences, personal emotions,” and “not necessarily driven by a considered assessment of American interests at stake”. Telhami tells host Steve Clemons that Biden’s “inability to show empathy” for the Palestinians is shocking, and that the president’s recent warnings to Israel were driven in part by his calculations for next year’s election. All the talk about plans for “the day after” the war are distractions from the real-time death and destruction in Gaza, Telhami says.

The US is taking increasingly assertive steps in trying to limit settler violence. First, the demand was made for Israel to control “extremist” violence. Following that, a visa ban was imposed last week on some individuals linked to this violence. Now, the shipment of 27,000 military-style rifles, initially destined for the Israeli national police, has been temporarily halted by the Biden administration. There are concerns that these weapons could end up in the hands of settlers. Notably, the pause comes after the shipment had already cleared the initial congressional review and passed the committee stage. Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro has the latest from Washington, DC.

Earlier we reported the World Health Organization executive board unanimously voted in favour of a resolution calling for “immediate and unimpeded” healthcare aid for Gaza. It was only the seventh time in the UN body’s 75-year history that such a vote took place. “It is an important moment for WHO – an organisation focusing on international public health. For me, it is a victory of the humanity. A victory of member states in promoting health, protecting the vulnerable, and saving lives,” said Dr Ahmed al-Mandhari, regional WHO director. He noted the concern in Geneva as colleagues working in Gaza told the horror stories of what’s happening there. “Our colleagues are […]
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks has risen to 17,700 since the war began on October the 7th. For those who’ve managed to survive — the so-called safe areas can be extremely dangerous. Israel says what it calls ‘safe zones’ will be spared the bombing and fighting that’s devastated much of the rest of the territory. More than 1.8 million people in Gaza have been forced from their homes. And there are fewer and fewer designated ‘safe’ areas left to flee to. The sandy, barren 6.5 square-kilometre patch of terrain in al-Mawasi is one of them. Al Jazeera’s Youmna El Sayed reports from Rafah at al-Mawasi. Subscribe to […]

Israel’s war on Gaza has stirred up intense opposition in many parts of the world. Often, voices critical of the Israeli military assault are branded as anti-semitic. But as Al Jazeera’s Rob Reynolds reports, many activists and scholars say legitimate criticism should not be regarded as racist, simply in order to stifle critics.
