Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Friday that 26 former senior Israeli security officials and 17 senior officials in the civil field, including three Nobel Prize winners, signed a public letter calling for the dismissal of the Prime Minister of the occupation government Benjamin Netanyahu, following the failures of the war in Gaza. They consider him unqualified to lead Israel and that his hands are stained with Israeli blood. The newspaper published the letter’s contents and disclosed that it would also be published in the US at the end of the week. Most of the signatories expressed their clear opinion of Netanyahu, even before Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October, through speeches some gave during demonstrations opposing the plan to undermine the judiciary led by the Israeli government. Journalist and political commentator of the newspaper Nahum Barnea considered that the most crucial matter is not the names included on the list but the timing, explaining: “The protests that were completely frozen after 7 October demand a return to the core of public (Israeli) discourse. The allegations differed, but the goal did not change.”

Biden cuts off life-saving aid to Palestinians based on Israeli allegations against UNRWA The State Department paused additional funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) after the Israeli government accused 12 UNRWA workers of being involved in the October 7 Hamas attack. A press statement from State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the Biden administration was “extremely troubled by the allegations.” Secretary of State Antony Blinken has spoken with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres “to emphasize the necessity of a thorough and swift investigation of this matter.” UNRWA has already terminated the staffers and opened an investigation into the allegations. “The Israeli authorities have provided UNRWA with information about the alleged involvement of several UNRWA employees in the horrific attacks on Israel on October 7,” said UNRWA Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini. “To protect the agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance, I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay.”
World Court orders Israel to halt Gaza genocide History was made at The Hague when the International Court of Justice on Friday – with a panel of judges from around the world – called for the prevention of genocidal acts in Gaza. Raji Sourani, the director of the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights, said that the ruling “is the first time we see Israel held accountable for its crimes before an international court.” Responding to allegations of genocide made by South Africa, the UN’s top court issued several provisional measures – similar to an injunction or restraining order – while it considers the full case. It may take the court years to reach a final ruling on South Africa’s genocide complaint against Israel.
20 Killed, 150 Wounded as Israel Bombs Hungry Palestinians Waiting for Aid in Gaza City Artillery shells and gunfire targeted Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid at the Kuwait Junction in Gaza City. At least 20 Palestinians were killed and 150 others injured in an Israeli shelling targeting hungry people waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza City on Thursday, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said. The death toll is likely to rise as many injured people are in critical condition, ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said in a brief statement.
