Left-wing political commentator Robert Reich is facing sharp criticism for invoking Holocaust imagery to accuse Israel of “betraying” Holocaust victims, as the Jewish state continues to defend itself from Hamas terrorists. Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton, posted a photo of Holocaust victims alongside an article from the far-left Israeli outlet Haaretz, accusing Israel of causing starvation in Gaza.
President Trump suggested that the United States will increase its involvement in the conflict in Gaza because "you have a lot of starving people," he told reporters in Scotland.
Israel began airdrops of humanitarian aid over Gaza on Sunday, coupled with a daily ten-hour pause to allow the United Nations to distribute previously blocked relief supplies. The temporary ceasefires and expanded aid efforts mark a shift in military strategy and international coordination.
Israel condemned a revived call for an end to the "occupied Palestinian territories," saying countries involved in the call are "disconnected from reality."
France’s National Court of Asylum has ruled that Palestinians from Gaza may now claim refugee status due to “the risk of persecution by the Israeli armed forces.”
President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that he hopes a ceasefire agreement in Gaza could be finalized within a week. Speaking at Joint Base Andrews after returning from the FIFA Club World Cup final, Trump said, “Gaza, we are talking and hopefully we’re going to get that straightened out over the next week.”
