The Israeli President’s Office said Isaac Herzog is cancelling his planned trip to the UN’s climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, citing “security considerations”, according to the Times of Israel.

CAIR slams ‘Genocide Joe’ Biden over inaction in Gaza

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the US’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, has condemned the US president’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

CAIR said in a statement: “While the world witnesses daily atrocities by Israel in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon, ‘Genocide Joe’ Biden remains silent as the far-fight Netanyahu government uses American weapons and his administration’s support to slaughter civilians, destroy their homes and force their children to starve.

CAIR said its statement follows reports from Gaza of “dogs feeding on corpses, a prominent Palestinian doctor tortured to death in an Israeli prison, the killing of a Palestinian journalist in an Israeli drone attack, the Israeli burning of a Gaza school storing aid supplies, an Israeli massacre at a school in Gaza, illegal Israeli settler attacks on Palestinian homes, and Israeli field executions in northern Gaza”.



Protesters block Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem

Protesters have blocked the entrance to PM Netanyahu’s office building in Jerusalem, according to Israeli media. They are demanding his resignation, new elections and a deal to swap Israeli captives held in Gaza with Palestinian prisoners.

Translation: How much more blood will be spilled before the culprit goes? Now blocking the entrance to the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem, just before the cabinet meeting. In the first row of the blockers at the meeting on the road is Brigadier General Mil Amir Hashakal.
