Quick Glance: Artist Closes Israel Pavilion at Venice Biennale
- Ruth Patir, representing Israel, refuses to open her show in the national pavilion until Israel and Hamas reach a cease-fire and agreement on hostage release.
- Despite the efforts of thousands of pro-Palestinian activists since February to urge the Venice Biennale, one of the world's most prestigious international art exhibitions, to ban Israel over its conduct in the Gaza war, the doors to the Israel pavilion will remain closed at the request of the artists and curators representing Israel.
- Artist Ruth Patir, chosen to represent Israel, stated in an interview that the situation in Gaza was larger than herself and that closing the pavilion was the only action she could take, despite the Biennale being a significant opportunity for a young artist like her.
- The sign on the window of the Israel pavilion indicates that the exhibition will open only when a cease-fire and agreement on hostage release is achieved by the artists and curators representing Israel.

Quick Glance: Palestinian Doctor Leaves Meeting with Biden
- President Biden met with a small group of Muslims at the White House, where Dr. Thaer Ahmad walked out early to signal a stronger commitment from the White House to end the war and provide humanitarian aid in Gaza.
- Dr. Ahmad recently returned from Gaza, where he was treating patients at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis before it became inoperable due to fighting.
- Another doctor, Dr. Nahreen Ahmed, felt Biden was 'somewhat dismissive' during the meeting when she showed photos of suffering she had witnessed. She perceived the meeting as an attempt to manage the community without adequate empathy for the participants' concerns.
- The White House had initially planned an iftar dinner with Muslim leaders but changed to a meeting with Biden due to concerns. Biden's previous meeting with Muslim leaders in October was criticized for not genuinely listening to Muslim and Palestinian perspectives.
