Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,144 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 113,704 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead.

We talk about the challenges involved in planning for the rebuilding of Gaza and ask, Will it ever become a reality?
Israel has passed a new budget into law, despite widespread protests trying to stop it and now, Israeli media is reporting that Israel is ready to accept the US’s bridge proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza if Hamas agrees to it.
The proposal would resume the ceasefire for weeks and allow humanitarian assistance back into Gaza, as well as the release of five Israeli captives, the bodies of several others killed in captivity and Palestinian prisoners but it would not end the war.
Negotiations on this proposal were under way when Israel resumed bombing Gaza, killing more than 700 Palestinians in predawn strikes over a week ago, including more than 200 children.
The onslaught allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to consolidate his coalition and secure this unprecedented budget that slashes wages and social services and raises taxes to fund the Israeli government’s multi-frontal wars with $30bn. Protests lasted all day, with Knesset members partaking during the vote
Some held up signs reading 59, a reference to the number of Israeli captives still in Gaza
Coalition leaders, unfazed, called the protesters a handful of anarchists. The far-right Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, called the budget one of “war”, saying, “With God’s help, it will be a budget of victory.”
Israel’s announcement on the ceasefire efforts was timed perfectly for Netanyahu his rule is safe, for now, and the protests could be defused. In Gaza, this news brings hope to Palestinians that the carnage will stop and that starvation is averted.
Lawyers for the director of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital say that an Israeli court has extended his detention for another six months, claiming the pediatrician poses a “threat to the security of the State of Israel”.
The ruling was based on a “secret file” of evidence submitted to the court by prosecutors.
The Al Mezan Center for Human Rights said its legal team “asserted (Dr Abu Safia’s) innocence and emphasized that he was solely performing medical and administrative duties at Kamal Adwan Hospital”. (Int’l News Desk)
