🔺Jüdische Allgemeine, biggest Jewish newspaper in Germany:

[ It is black and white thinking that 'Israel' is the sole culprit "land robber" and the "people of gaza" are peaceful residents. Civillians in Gaza who worked in the kibbutz befriended the "peace-loving" Israelis and spied on them, ensuring that Hamas knew their way around the kibbutz...]

The Washington Post: Biden launched anti-Houthis campaign because of ideology, not economics

Ideology and idea of US indispensability were the key drivers behind US President Joe Biden to start military campaign against Yemen Houthis, The Washington Post reported, citing undisclosed sources in the administration.

The Houthi attacks on commercial vessels did not pose any direct threat to US economy since the latter relies on the Pacific trade routes rather than on the Mideast ones. However, Biden decided to mount strikes on the military organization because of his conviction that the US must be an “indispensable nation” with supreme army and capable of unifying other states behind a single cause.

The anti-Houthi campaign will likely resemble the war against other Islamic militarized organizations, who were able to rebuild and recover after serious blows thus turning US efforts into waste of time, money and lives, the politicians quoted by the WaPo said.

Israel's Ministerial Committee for Legislation is expected to discuss today a bill that prohibits the Israeli Public Defender from representing detainees from Gaza.

The Wall Street Journal:

"Israel is failing to destroy Hamas in Gaza"

"US intelligence agencies estimate Israel has killed 20% to 30% of Hamas's fighters, falling short of their target to destroy them completely.

They estimate Hamas has months of ammunition left, causing Biden to pressure Netanyahu to change his approach."
