The #watermelon has long been a symbol of protest for #Palestinians, and as #SocialMedia users suspect platforms of censoring content about #Gaza, the corresponding emoji is being used in place of the Palestinian flag. Like the flag, the emoji is also red, green and black. #SocialMedia

The religious edict by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) said #Muslims in the country must support the #Palestinians’ struggle against “Israeli aggression”, while also declaring that support for #Israel or its supporters is “#haram”, or against #IslamicLaw. #Fatwas have no legal force and are aimed at encouraging the devout against taking a certain course of action. #Indonesia

Paul said while he recognised the "monstrosity" of #Hamas's attack on #Israel, he also believed Israel's response "will only lead to more and deeper suffering" for #Israelis and #Palestinians.


V BBC security corr Frank Gardner:
' #Iran has already threatened it will not stand by while #Palestinians are killed in #Gaza.
There are now reports in the Arab media that #Iranian-backed militias are moving westwards from #Iraq and #Syria into southern #Lebanon, closer to #Israel ’s borders.
Some of these fighters have had recent combat experience supporting the Syrian army against rebels.
Of all the various pro-Iranian militias in the region, Hezbollah in Lebanon is the most potent' (cont )


V BBC Paul Adams:
' #Biden pledged $100m in #humanitarian assistance for the #Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

He restated his admin’s commitment to peace between #Israel and the #Palestinians, allowing the two peoples to live in security and dignity.

Israel, he said, did not live 'by the rule of terrorists' but by the rule of law. Israel, he said, needed to be clear about its objectives. That required “an honest assessment about whether the path you’re on will achieve those objectives".


V Reuters:
#Egypt 's president Sisi: "Forced displacement of #Palestinians cannot be implemented; If I call on the Egyptian people to reject the idea of displacing Palestinians then millions of Egyptians will heed this call"


'The #Israeli military says the projectile malfunctioned and fell short of its target in #Israel

Millions of #Palestinians and others in the Middle East will not believe that. #Jordan , #Egypt , #Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates #UAE are among the countries condemning Israel.

The question now is whether anger caused by the attack increases the chances of a wider war.'


V #BBC Paul Adams:
Joe #Biden is due to arrive in #Israel in the coming hours. The omens for his visit could not be worse. Israel and the #Palestinians are locked in claim and counter claim about what happened last night at the #Ahli hospital in #Gaza

It’s thought that as many as 500 people were killed – patients and people sheltering in the grounds, thinking the hospital was safe.

The Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas - based in the West Bank - has blamed Israel, (cont.)


Hundreds of people are feared dead after a huge explosion at a hospital in #Gaza City where #Palestinians injured in the #Israel - #Hamas war were being treated, while others were seeking safety after days of #Israeli air strikes.

The #Hamas-led authorities in Gaza say 500 people died in the explosion at the Al Ahli hospital. Hamas blamed #Israel , which in turn blamed #Palestinian militants


#IDF spox Conricus says 600,000 #Palestinians have made "the smart and self-preservatory" decision to move south (ahead of its expected ground offensive).

But, he goes on "still a few hundred thousand that need to - and should - go".

Conricus claims #Hamas - which told people to stay put - had a "delaying effect" on people leaving the area, but he is confident that the more time goes on, the more the militant group will stop using "its own civilians as human shields"


and upheld; civilians must be protected and also never used as shields."
#Israel insists its warplanes and artillery are striking #Hamas targets in #Gaza. But many civilians are indeed being killed and injured in those strikes.
#Palestinians say that is because the #Israeli strikes are excessive and indiscriminate. #Israel says it is because #Hamas uses civilians as human shields (in #Gaza )


What was #Hamas goal with the attack?
Frank Gardner: The reason given at the time by Hamas spox was that "enough is enough". The attack, he said, was in response to what Hamas called constant provocations and humiliations suffered by #Palestinians at the hands of #Israelis in both #Gaza and the West Bank. Analysts believe there may have been other, undeclared reasons. Before the attack, Israel and #Saudi Arabia were well on the way to normalising ties. (Cont.)


V BBC's Tom Bateman:
#Netanyahu says he'll “eliminate” #Hamas. But what happens the day after? We’ve been getting some clues about thinking within parts of the #Israeli govt.

Cabinet minister Gideon Sa’ar said on Israeli TV that Gaza must end up smaller - with Israel taking control of a belt of land in the east and north of the strip. This will play into the worst fears of #Palestinians as it evokes their core issue - the loss of lands in the conflicts surrounding Israel’s creation 75 ys ago


From the #BBCWorldService news bulletin:
Blinken has warned that every precaution must be taken to avoid harming civilians as #Israel prepares for a major ground offensive in #Gaza. More than 2600 #Palestinians have been killed since the #Hamas assault on Israel

The Israeli energy minister says the country has decided to resume supplying #water to Southern Gaza. Katz said the decision has been agreed between #Netanyahu and Biden


Thousands of #Palestinians are continuing to flee northern #Gaza ahead of #Israel's expected ground offensive.

In its latest update the #IDF says civilians still in northern Gaza must head south between 10:00 and 13:00 local time.

They should use a single route running from Beit Hanoun towards Khan Yunis, it says, adding that it will not target the route during those hours.

Initially, a 24-hour evacuation window was set by Israel for people to flee the area.


It is just over a week since #Hamas gunmen infiltrated #Israel to attack both civilians and soldiers. More than 1,300 people have been killed in Israel.

Israel has been carrying out retaliatory air strikes in #Gaza and a ground offensive is expected.

In total, 2,329 #Palestinians have been killed and 9,714 have been injured, according to the health ministry.


So all the negotiations had to do with the savior of our own? Only foreigners allowed to leave #Gaza? What a disgrace for international community…

Associated Press.
