New glasses change Gaza child’s life
Palestinian child Ayoub Junaid broke his specialized medical glasses after a fall in war-torn Gaza. When a video of the seven-year-old, distraught over breaking his glasses, went viral, he received a replacement pair, thanks to a fundraiser and help from a Gaza influencer.
Ayoub’s mother says he can “finally see the world clearly again” but he still needs surgery and urgent medical care, which he can’t get under the continuing Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory.
Israel-Lebanon agreement in US asserts respect for ceasefire already in place
The statement issued by the State Department not long ago (states that), as a result of the US-led negotiations, Israel and Lebanon agreed to the implementation of a ceasefire. The ceasefire is contingent on the complete cessation of Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of all Hezbollah operatives from the south of the Litani sector.
This is not the announcement of a brand new ceasefire; this is asserting respect for a ceasefire that was actually agreed just last month in May, which was a 45-day extension to an already existing ceasefire that was there before.
Perhaps one of the most notable elements is the establishment of these so-called pilot zones, where the Lebanese armed forces would assume, essentially, exclusive control, not allowing the presence of any non-state actors.
We did know ahead of this latest round of talks that there was a lot of optimism from US diplomats, even earlier in the day.
On Wednesday, we had signaling from a State Department official, saying that there was a slow start, kind of a slow burn in the talks during the course of Wednesday, but that a lot was accomplished. (Al Jazeera)
