A senior Hamas official has indicated that Hamas is likely to reject Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, criticizing it for serving Israeli interests and ignoring Palestinian needs, especially regarding disarmament and the deployment of an international force. The plan faces opposition from Hamas and other Palestinian factions, with concerns over trust, hostages, and potential Israeli military actions, amid ongoing violence and humanitarian crises in Gaza.
Church leaders visited Gaza and returned with emotional accounts of suffering, destruction, and the impact of ongoing conflict, emphasizing the need for support and a ceasefire, while condemning violence and advocating for interfaith solidarity.
Aid points in Gaza operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation have become deadly 'death traps' due to their militarized nature, limited opening times, and dangerous routes, leading to over 1,000 deaths since May and worsening the already severe food insecurity in the region.
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is providing educational resources to help Texas students learn about the Israeli conflict and report incidents of hate speech and violence. The resources include curriculum materials, guidelines for classroom discussions, information on U.S. policy, tips for conscientious conversations, and guidance on talking to kids about violence. The Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission is also available to assist schools with Holocaust, genocide, and antisemitism education.
