Israel has announced a daily “tactical pause in military activity” in three areas of Gaza to enable more aid to reach people, amid growing international outrage over starvation in the territory.

Two prominent Israeli rights groups say their country is committing genocide in Gaza. It's the first time that local, Jewish-led groups have made such accusations against Israel during nearly 22 months of war.

European Commissioners will on Monday discuss a proposal to partially suspend Israel's access to the EU's Horizon research funding program following calls from EU governments to increase pressure on Israel over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

A pair of leading Israeli human rights groups has accused Israel of “committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,” becoming the first such organizations to make the claim.

Israel says it is fighting against Hamas, not Palestinians as a group. But two of Israel’s best-known rights groups — long critical of Israeli policy — now say they disagree.

As Israel has announced steps to increase humanitarian aid in Gaza, former hostage Iair Horn knows firsthand the impact of aid.

U.N. data shows that only less than 8% of 1,718 WFP trucks made it to their destination within Gaza in the nearly ten weeks since Israel lifted its blockade. The rest were looted by "either peacefully by hungry people or forcefully by armed actors during transit," according to the U.N. data.

This might be a tacit admission by the Israelis that they need to do more - but more likely the measures are a response to allies.
