Israel has previously arrested passengers of ships that broke the siege on Gaza, and we are not afraid of threats.

PALESTINE CHRONICLE: Following a lack of process from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on a bill to ensure an exemption for Ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jews from serving in the military, two parties in his coalition verge on dissolving the Knesset.

AL-QASSAM BRIGADES: Al-Qassam Brigades announced targeting “the tower of a military bulldozer (D9 type) with an Al-Yassin 105 shell near the Murtaja intersection in the Ma’an area in Khan Yunis.”

HAMAS STATEMENT: Lieberman’s statements reveal a dangerous truth: the occupation is arming criminal gangs in the Gaza Strip to create security and social chaos. The occupation’s arming of criminal gangs in the Strip is marketing the engineering of starvation and the organized theft of humanitarian aid.

PALESTINE CHRONICLE: Israel is arming “criminal gangs” in the besieged Gaza Strip, the former Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Thursday.

“Israel transferred assault rifles and light weapons to criminal gangs in Gaza,” Lieberman, leader of the right-wing Yisrael Beiteinu Party, told the public broadcaster KAN, according to the Anadolu news agency.

He said the weapons were transferred to the gangs upon orders of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Injuries from Artillery Shelling Southwest of Khan Yunis

GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER JOHANN WADEPHUL

The humanitarian aid reaching Gaza is insufficient, and I have reiterated the demand to facilitate its access.

Aid must reach Gaza quickly and be distributed by UN agencies.

We reject the settlement policy being implemented in the West Bank.

As a friend of Israel, I say that we would like to see Israel live in peace with its neighbors.

The only realistic solution for lasting peace in the Middle East is the two-state solution.

Unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state sends the wrong message.

It appears that Hamas will not pose a threat to Israel in the future, and there is a need to discuss the day-after plan in Gaza.

Pressure on Israel and threats of sanctions, as some European countries are doing, will complicate matters.

Recognizing a Palestinian state is a moral duty.

What is happening in Gaza is not war, but an extermination perpetrated by Israel against children and women.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is selling Israel’s security for an extra day in power.

Netanyahu must be immediately removed from the decision-making circle.

Netanyahu is creating a new time bomb in Gaza instead of reaching a deal and returning the hostages.

HAMAS STATEMENT:

The martyrdom and injury of several journalists at Al-Ma’amdani Hospital is a new crime by the Zionist occupation army.

The occupation’s targeting of journalists is a systematic crime aimed at silencing their voices and erasing their testimonies of its crimes.

We call on the international community to take urgent action to protect journalists and hold the occupation accountable for its ongoing crimes.

CNN: An investigation by CNN confirmed that the Israeli army fired on crowds of Palestinians while they were trying to reach an aid site in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.

STATEMENT: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio:

• The United States will continue to stand by Israel.
• We used the veto against the UN Security Council resolution on Gaza because it would have served the interests of Hamas terrorists and undermined diplomatic efforts.
• We will not support any action that falsely equates Israel and Hamas and ignores Israel’s right to defend itself.
• Any action by the United Nations should clearly condemn Hamas and call on it to disarm and leave Gaza.
