Quick Glance: Israeli Strikes in Rafah Kill 22, Mostly Children, as US Advances Aid Package

Israeli strikes in the southern Gaza city of Rafah killed 22 people, including 18 children. The United States is on track to approve billions of dollars of additional military aid to Israel.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has killed over 34,000 Palestinians, with at least two-thirds being children and women. The devastation in Gaza has left a swath of destruction.

The $26 billion aid package approved by the House of Representatives includes around $9 billion in humanitarian assistance for Gaza, which experts say is on the brink of famine.

Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated, leading to direct hostilities. The region is in turmoil, with violence escalating in the West Bank.

Quick Glance: Biden Administration's Cease-Fire Efforts Under Scrutiny

The Biden administration's aspirations to end the war in Gaza and progress towards a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine hinge on securing a temporary cease-fire and the release of Israeli hostages.

The U.S. strategy focuses on halting the conflict momentarily, aiming for subsequent cease-fires, hostage releases, humanitarian aid, and the reconstruction of post-war Gaza under Palestinian Authority.

Arab involvement, particularly from Saudi Arabia, is pivotal in negotiations to push Israel towards considering a separate Palestinian state amidst escalating tensions.

With no contingency plan in place, pressures from potential Iranian strikes and the condition of the hostages in Gaza intensify the urgency for a breakthrough in the cease-fire discussions.

Quick Glance: Overcoming Hamas Challenge Amid Israel's Approach to Victory

Despite the Israeli prime minister's assertion of being on the brink of defeating Hamas, indications suggest the cruel terror group will emerge undefeated.

Persistently emphasizing relentless pursuit of 'total victory,' Netanyahu's aspirations may not align with reality.

Hamas stands as a sophisticated underground organization - in the most literal and metaphorical sense.

Israel's failure to devise a post-war strategic plan for governing Gaza echoes the missteps of the Americans in Baghdad in 2003.

UN calls for investigation into mass graves uncovered at two Gaza hospitals raided by Israel

bostonherald.com/2024/04/23/un-calls-for-investigation-into-mass-graves-uncovered-at-two-gaza-hospitals-raided-by-israel/

Quick Glance: UN Calls for Investigation into Mass Graves at Two Gaza Hospitals

The United Nations called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the mass graves at two major hospitals in Gaza that were searched by Israeli troops.

It was emphasized that investigators must have access to the sites, and a greater number of journalists should be able to work safely in Gaza to report on the facts.

Some of the bodies belonged to individuals killed during the hospital siege, while others were victims when Israeli forces raided the hospital.

The discovery of the graves highlights the urgency of a ceasefire, the end of the conflict, improved access for humanitarian aid, the protection of hospitals, and the release of Israeli hostages.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

The United States believes Iran could attack Israel in the coming days, potentially escalating a war in the region.

Threats of an Iranian attack on Israeli assets have been shared with U.S. lawmakers.

The attacks are expected to be in retaliation for Israel's airstrike in Syria last week, which killed a top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander.

The U.S. is concerned about the potential destabilization of the region due to a possible Iranian attack.

The Israel Defense Forces have completed all necessary preparations to capture the southernmost city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and can initiate an operation once they receive government authorization, as stated by a senior Israeli defense official.

This official informed Reuters that Israel is planning to take control of Rafah, considered the final Hamas stronghold in Gaza, evacuate Palestinian civilians from the area, and launch an assault against Hamas fighters.

According to a spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, Israel is progressing with a ground operation without specifying a timeline for the action.

Various Israeli reports indicated that top Israeli security officials traveled to Egypt on Wednesday to coordinate the planned offensive in Rafah.
