UN Experts Refute EU Push to Oust Gaza Remarks Special Rapporteur

A UN review committee dismissed antisemitism allegations against Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, as rooted in disinformation and a doctored video. Several EU governments had urged her resignation over Gaza remarks, but the experts called the push manufactured and not a formal finding. Albanese says she did not label Israel humanity’s enemy, and the committee notes there has been no formal complaint; the matter is to be revisited at a upcoming UN Human Rights Council meeting amid broader calls for accountability, with US sanctions on Albanese noted in context.

Rafah crossing reopens with tight limits, offering a fragile lifeline for Gaza

Israel reopened Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt to allow movement of people after being closed since May 2024, as part of a phased ceasefire framework tied to the return of the last Israeli hostage's body. The crossing will operate with strict daily caps—about 50 patients may exit Gaza and 50 may return with no goods allowed—under EU supervision and remote Israeli security checks, while around 20,000 sick and wounded Palestinians await exit and aid continues to enter Gaza through Kerem Shalom. The move is seen as a cautious lifeline rather than a full reopening.

Israel moves to bar MSF from Gaza over staff-list demand

Israel moves to bar MSF from Gaza over staff-list demand

Israel said it will ban Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) from Gaza after the charity refused to provide a staff list, citing safety concerns amid new NGO registration rules that require worker details. MSF had offered to share names under strict safeguards, but could not secure assurances that staff would be protected. The move follows a broader push to revoke licenses of 37 NGOs operating in Gaza and the West Bank. UN agencies warn the decision could severely hamper healthcare access, while MSF remains a major provider, running about 20 health centers and delivering hundreds of thousands of consultations during the conflict. The Gaza war has caused thousands of casualties among Palestinians and others, with many healthcare workers among the victims.

Rafah reopening hinges on finishing hostage remains search

Israel says it will reopen the Rafah border crossing with Egypt only after completing a focused operation to recover the body of Ran Gvili, the last Israeli hostage killed in 2023; the crossing has been largely closed since May 2024. The search in northern Gaza could last several days, after which a limited pedestrian reopening with Israeli monitoring is planned, with broader reopening contingent on finishing the operation and ongoing mediation with the US and Egypt as phase two of the Gaza peace plan is discussed.

Israel's Gaza Offensive: Palestinian Death Toll Explained

Israel's Gaza offensive has reportedly killed over 67,000 Palestinians, including a significant number of children, with the actual toll likely higher due to undercounting and unrecorded victims. The figures are contested, with Palestinian authorities and international organizations suggesting underreporting, while Israel questions the credibility of the Palestinian data. The conflict has resulted in extensive civilian casualties and destruction, with ongoing debates about the accuracy of reported figures.
