US Secretary of State Antony Blinken: “We need to do more to protect Palestinian civilians” “We've been clear that as Israel conducts its campaign to defeat Hamas, how it does so matters — it matters because it's the right and lawful thing to do. It matters…
“spoke to Israeli leaders about tangible steps that can be taken to increase the sustained delivery of food, water, medicine, fuel and other essential needs while putting in place measures to prevent diversion by Hamas and other terrorist groups.”
conversations would continue “about getting assistance to flow, including with help from the United Nations.”

The families of the eleven victims of the October 7 Hamas attack have filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC)
They accusing the perpetrators of committing "crimes against humanity." These victims were all civilians, and their relatives are calling on ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan to investigate Hamas' actions as "war crimes" carried out as part of a "genocidal plan." According to their lawyer Francois Zimeray, this complaint aims to reveal the truth about these atrocities and have them recorded in collective memory.
The complaint pertains to 11 victims who were either killed or injured within Israeli borders, some of whom were attending the Nova music festival where more than 260 people were killed by Hamas gunmen. Zimeray & Finelle, Zimeray's law firm, asserts that the evidence against Hamas is well-documented and has shocked the "universal conscience."
Additionally, Zimeray has requested the ICC prosecution to consider issuing an international arrest warrant for Hamas leaders, similar to warrants issued for the Russian President in relation to the aggression in Ukraine.
This follows ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan's visit to the region, during which he mentioned that impeding the flow of aid into Gaza could potentially constitute a war crime.

The calls on Israeli citizens to take additional precautions while traveling abroad
A joint statement from the Prime Minister’s Office and the Foreign Affairs Ministry calls on Israeli citizens to take additional precautions while traveling abroad, including avoiding outward displays of their Jewish or Israeli identities amid an uptick in antisemitic attacks around the world.
In France, where the largest Jewish community outside of Israel and the United States resides (about 500,000 people), there have been more anti-Semitic incidents in three weeks than in the entire previous year - 819.
In Austria, the number of crimes based on hatred towards Jews has increased by 300 percent, in Germany - by 240 percent.
The number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States has increased by 400 percent.
In the United Kingdom, the number of anti-Semitic incidents has increased by 1350 percent, reaching a maximum since the collection of such data began in 1984.
In Russia, an airport was taken over in search of Jews.
In Chinese social media, posts that heap insults on Jews receive thousands of "likes," and authorities, who otherwise heavily censor online content in other cases, make no efforts to put a stop to this.
Michael O'Flaherty, Director of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, called anti-Semitism "deeply rooted in European society as racism," posing a threat to the Jewish community of the continent and the fundamental values of the European Union. He is particularly concerned that only one-third of the EU population considers anti-Semitism a serious threat.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF):
"We have information which demonstrates that Hamas's method of operation is to transfer terror operatives and weapons in ambulances."
"We emphasize that this area is a battle zone,"
"Civilians in the area are repeatedly called upon to evacuate southwards for their own safety."
“A number of Hamas terrorist operatives were killed in the strike,”
The head of the World Health Organization, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus:
"We reiterate: patients, health workers, facilities, and ambulances must be protected at all times. Always. Ceasefire NOW."
Israeli government spokesman Eylon Levy said that it is illegal under international law. All ambulances are supposed to be protected, and part of that protection involves not being used by combatants, especially terrorists, to transport terrorists and weapons. In such a case, they might lose their protection.
The IDF said it intended to release more information on the incident.

Hamas tried to sneak its fighters out of Gaza in ambulances
The list of severely injured individuals to be transferred from Gaza to Egypt for medical treatment was vetted by Egypt and the United States, which found that a third of the names on it were of Hamas fighters, the administration official says, adding that none of the 76 wounded Palestinians who were ultimately evacuated in ambulances out of Gaza were Hamas fighters.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has sent 51.5 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza, marking the first such effort since the Israel-Hamas conflict began. The aid, comprising medical equipment, food, blankets, tents, and more, was collected from both the government and Indonesian citizens through humanitarian agencies.
The assistance is being transported to el-Arish Airport in Egypt via two Hercules aircraft and an Airbus cargo plane. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, has a history of supporting Palestinians and lacks formal diplomatic relations with Israel.
President Widodo emphasized that this action represents Indonesian solidarity and concern for humanity, given the unacceptable humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Israel - HAMAS war
Today's Global Political Responses:
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi:
Though condemns the Hamas attacks of October 7 and that though “nobody in their right mind” would “belittle” the pain felt by Israel that day, the war in Gaza cannot be permitted to continue.
“The whole region in sinking in a sea of hatred that will define generations to come,”
The Arab countries were demanding an immediate ceasefire, a more dramatic action than the humanitarian pauses supported by the Biden administration, to allow for the delivery of food and other supplies and to enable time to secure the release of hostages.
“We don’t accept that this is self-defense. It cannot be justified under any pretext and it will not bring Israel security, it will not bring the region peace.”
Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani:
Called for an immediate ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Affirmed the continued efforts of the State of Qatar to mediate the release of the prisoners, pointing that the continued bombing doubles the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip and complicates securing their release.
Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf,
“We consider the criminal US a principal culprit in all these crimes”
The Hamas attack on Israel has caused “irreparable” intelligence and security damage to the Israeli state.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan:
“Netanyahu is no longer someone we can talk to. We erased him and threw him away,”
Turkey's foreign minister and intelligence chief would continue to talk to “the Israeli side” as well as Hamas and other Palestinian groups.
“The whole West, especially America, is currently on Israel’s side” and people “should not expect a fair attitude” from the European Union over Gaza.
“If Greece can be a guarantor country, England can be a guarantor country and Turkey is a guarantor country in Cyprus, why can’t there be a similar structure in Gaza?”
Announced Turkey's support for "initiatives that would bring Israel’s human rights violations and war crimes to the International Criminal Court."
The diplomatic adviser to the United Arab Emirates’ president, Anwar Gargash:
"If this crisis continues, especially the humanitiaran side, and if this crisis brings us back full circle to the old containment policy of pre-7 October, I think the American role here, forget right or wrong, but it will not be seen as effective,”
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
Accuses Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of siding with the Gaza-ruling terror group.
U.S. Department of State spokesperson Matt Miller:
“Secretary Blinken thanked the Prime Minister for his leadership in preventing Lebanon from being pulled into a war that the Lebanese people do not want, as well as his efforts with regional partners to pursue durable and sustainable peace in the region,”
U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken:
Washington was worried about violence by extremist settlers in the West Bank.
Both Washington and Arab states believe the status quo of a Hamas-controlled Gaza cannot continue and that he has discussed with his Arab counterparts how to chart a better path forward towards a two-state solution.
A ceasefire in Israel’s military offensive in Gaza would leave Palestinian militant group Hamas in place and allow it to regroup and carry out similar attacks to the one on 7 October
German Vice Chancellor, Robert Habeck:
“Basically, Hamas must be destroyed because it is destroying the process of peace in the Middle East.”
Hamas’s October 7 attack “requires a necessary consequence from Israel.” “the Palestinians also have the right to their own state,” but adds that Hamas has no interest in such a solution.
