Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

  • Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

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.
