They are telling us that there are still people on the roads and under the rubble that they could not reach,” she said.Read more here.

In a recent interview with TIME Magazine, Biden suggested Netanyahu could be intentionally prolonging the war for his own political prospects, comments he later walked back.

Not good for Israel to be seen as ‘curbing’ freedom of speechYossi Mekelberg, associate fellow at Chatham House, says he doesn’t see how Al Jazeera is a “threat” to Israel’s national interests.“Some of the things that are seen on Al Jazeera are unpleasant for Israel, maybe some of the commentators are saying things Israel is not pleased, and it’s entitled not to be pleased [with], but it needs to present counterarguments,” Mekelberg told Al Jazeera.“I don’t think it’s good for Israel to be seen, especially considering what’s happening, as trying to curb freedom of speech.”Mekelberg added that Israel is “entitled” to present its narrative on the war but due to some of the things that are shown on Al Jazeera “many Israelis don’t watch [that] on other channels”.
