A new and untested organization with unclear financing. A chief who resigned after only a few weeks. And bloody chaos when aid is to be distributed. The USA's plan to revamp the Gaza aid has gotten a minimally shaky start, with increasingly many eyewitness accounts of Israeli attacks on aid-seekers. The answers are few, but the questions many:
ConflictsAt least twelve people were injured in Colorado, USA, when a man attacked an action for hostages in Gaza on Sunday. The suspected perpetrator is said to have planned the attack for a year and is formally accused of hate crimes.
WorldHamas has formally responded to the US proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. The terrorist-stamped group says it is ready to release ten hostages - but has simultaneously new demands. "Unacceptable", the US envoy believes.
ConflictsWith unmanned bulldozers, Israel remotely controls the destruction of the Gaza Strip. The country's increasingly automated warfare raises ethical questions. There is a concern that it will become easier to wage war when they no longer come back in body bags, says philosopher professor Helen Frowe.
ConflictsHamas claims to be dissatisfied with the US's latest proposal for a ceasefire and is expected to reject it. Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz warns the terrorist-stamped group - accept the settlement or be "annihilated".
ConflictsFrance's president Emmanuel Macron believes that European countries should sharpen their "collective position" against Israel if the country does not act on the difficult humanitarian situation in Gaza in a suitable manner.
ConflictsThe USA proposes that ten living hostages and the bodies of 18 deceased be released by Hamas in exchange for 60 days of ceasefire. Israel gives the green light, but Hamas claims that the proposal does not meet the movement's demands – without entirely rejecting it.
ConflictsThe UN agency Unrwa is crucial for emergency aid to Gaza and Sweden must swiftly resume assistance to the organization, urge five major aid organizations.
