The U.S. Vetoes Resolution to Upgrade Palestine’s U.N. Membership
Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

  • The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

  • The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

  • 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: Summer Lee Secures Key Victory in Pennsylvania Primary
  • Pennsylvania congresswoman Summer Lee successfully navigated a primary challenge on Tuesday, securing progressives one of their most crucial wins of this election cycle while preparing for an influx of pro-Israel funding targeting candidates supportive of a ceasefire.

  • During the primaries, Lee emerged victorious against local council member Bhavini Patel, who had raised concerns about the stance of the progressive “Squad” member on the Gaza ceasefire.

  • The resonance of this argument was evident among many of Lee’s supporters and local Democratic figures. The Allegheny County Democratic party formally endorsed Lee in February, marking their support for her for the first time after having backed her opponent in the 2022 primaries.

  • Despite the pro-Israel lobby staying out of the picture, a Super Pac intervened in Lee’s primary to bolster Patel’s campaign. The Moderate Pac, with a mission to back centrist Democrats and significant funding from Republican megadonor Jeffrey Yass, allocated over $600,000 to support Patel.

Quick Glance: Discovery of Nearly 300 Bodies in Mass Grave at Gaza Hospital
  • Workers from the Gaza Civil Defense announced the discovery of a mass grave with almost 300 bodies at a hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis in Gaza, subsequent to the withdrawal of Israeli forces earlier this month.

  • Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman, the Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis, informed CNN on Monday that 73 bodies were found in the courtyard of the Nasser Medical Complex, bringing the total number to 283.

  • It is believed that some bodies were discovered with bound hands and feet, along with indications of field executions. The specific circumstances of their deaths, whether they were buried alive or executed, remain unclear.

  • The IDF has stated that they transported multiple bodies from Gaza to Israel for DNA testing before repatriating the remains in containers. The region surrounding the Nasser Medical Complex experienced heavy bombardment and conflict during January and February.
