[The Jerusalem Post just ran this editorial: “Republican recognition grants Israel historic chance to cement West Bank sovereignty.” AntiWar.com reports: “Trump Says Occupying Gaza Is ‘Pretty Much Up to Israel.’” Middle East Eye recently published an investigation: “How Karim Khan’s Israel war crimes probe was derailed by threats, leaks and sex claims.” Al Jazeera reports: “Israel kills an average 28 Palestinian children daily in Gaza.”]
Common Dreams reports in “Palestinian Women on Hunger Strike to Demand Israel Return Body of Peace Activist Killed by Israeli Settler” that: “More than 60 Palestinian women have launched a hunger strike to demand Israel return the body of a peace activist killed by an Israeli settler last week in the occupied West Bank. The body of Awda Hathaleen, who was shot and killed on Monday as Israeli settlers moved in to bulldoze his village, is still being held by Israeli authorities.
“Meanwhile, his killer — Yinon Levi, a notorious settler who has been sanctioned by several governments, at one point including the United States before President Donald Trump lifted the sanctions — has been set free after a brief period of house arrest.
“Hathaleen, who appeared last year in the documentary No Other Land, was highly regarded among peace advocates in Palestine, Israel, and the United States — where he was scheduled for an interfaith speaking tour before he was abruptly deported by the U.S. government in June.”
