“No matter how much I explain, I won’t be able to paint a picture of the suffering here,” says Asmhan, 25, who lives a tent with her family. “How can we forget what is happening in Gaza?”

As the world focus on new conflicts, Hamas and Israel are entrenching their dominance in Gaza as ordinary people suffer six months since a ceasefire took effect https://t.co/0m0LXlwuib

Our coverage last year of evictions and house demolitions in the Silwan district of East Jerusalem, and the role played by an Australian-Israeli in efforts to expand a Jewish presence throughout the Holy City https://t.co/PUhTyZ3OhE
💥Now in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan: 11 Palestinian families are being evicted for the benefit of the foreign-funded extremist settler group Ateret Cohanim. Yesterday, 4 more were evicted. @NirHasson
My heart breaks for the Bani Odeh family.
Ali Bani Odeh, his wife, and two of their young children — only 5 and 7 years old — were killed in Tammun. Two other children survived and will carry this trauma for the rest of their lives.
Beyond politics, beyond narratives, this is the destruction of a family.
An investigation has already been announced. As usual, we will likely hear familiar conclusions: a failure in identifying the target, mistaken identity, or an operational error.
But when civilians are killed again and again, the question becomes unavoidable:
Is this a problem of failing to identify targets?
Is it a problem of not knowing how to aim?
Or is it a problem of knowing exactly what is being done and accepting the consequences?
No child should live through this. No parent should die this way.
The investigation must not be a formality. Truth, accountability, and justice are the minimum owed to the Bani Odeh family — and to every civilian life that deserves protection.
Confirmed that a fifth Iranian soccer team member has decided to return home since seeking asylum, leaving just two in Australia https://t.co/2j0qCyBKSC
President Trump on Monday called on Australia to grant asylum to members of the Iranian women's soccer team who had been playing in a tournament there when the U.S. war with Iran started — and Australia later did so.

NEW—In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.
The Foreign Press Association just released a powerful video and petition saying "Israel must allow international media into Gaza." The video includes @clarissaward and @JDiamond1 of CNN and many other international correspondents. https://t.co/0SbADGPSC8
Mark Butler offered a helpful reminder about the importance of prostate check-ups, a task that may have struck some Liberal and National MPs as a more enjoyable way to spend their time than participating in this particular question time https://t.co/sYBNZYUXDY
