Netanyahu doubts deal, insists Israel's control of Gaza-Egypt border; Hamas criticizes U.S. proposal ■ IDF says over 100 rockets, drones fired from Lebanon; some intercepted, others fell in open areas ■ Biden: Working 'around the clock' for Gaza cease-fire, hostage deal ■ Cease-fire talks to be held in Cairo on Thursday and Friday, Egyptian FM says; Israeli source says date not yet set ■ Waiting period for Iranian retaliation 'could be long,' IRGC spokesperson says
Click here for updates from Day 320 of the Israel-Hamas war.
Sen. Bernie Sanders called to "end this horrific war in Gaza, bring home the hostages and demand an immediate cease-fire" during his remarks at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
The Jewish Vermont senator has repeatedly described Israel's actions in Gaza as ethnic cleansing while calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal, saying "not another nickel of U.S. taxpayer support" should back Israel's war in Gaza.
Sanders additionally attacked the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, though without mentioning AIPAC by name, for its significant and unprecedented spending in Democratic primaries targeting progressive lawmakers.
"At the top of the to-do list is the need to get big money out of our political process. Billionaires in both parties should not be able to buy elections, including primary elections," Sanders said. "For the sake of our democracy we must overturn the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and move toward public funding of elections," he added.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish elected official in American history, directly invoked his religion and rising antisemitism in his desire to defeat Donald Trump.
"I want my grandkids — and all grandkids — to never face discrimination because of who they are. But Donald Trump — this is a guy who peddles antisemitic stereotypes," he said. "He even invited a white supremacist to Mar-a-Lago."
Schumer noted Trump's "prejudice goes in all directions. He fuels Islamophobia and issued a Muslim ban as president," highlighting how he was wearing a blue square as a symbol to "stand up against antisemitism and all hate."
Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators and pro-Israel counter-protesters are currently being separated by riot police outside the Israeli consulate in Chicago. Police are believed to have already made several arrests.
Qatar Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani affirmed to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that his country is committed to its role as a mediator in the Gaza ceasefire talks, along with Egypt and the United States, the Qatari foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
Qatar will continue efforts and communication to end the war, the ministry said in a statement.
Rabbi Sharon Brous , one of the most prominent liberal rabbis in America, implored that both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace during an invocation prayer opening the Democratic National Convention's second night .
"My faith is sustained by a redemption story. A people beleaguered and bereft, traversing the desert on a journey from degradation to dignity, from darkness to life. Holy One, help us right America's redemption story, a story of ceaseless striving toward a true multiracial democracy rooted in equal justice, where every person is treated as unique, mighty and worthy of love," she said.
"In this story, politics is not a vehicle for repression, bigotry or personal profit, but a call to service. This story counters extremism with capaciousness and compassion," she continued. "It rejects the inevitability of war, affirming that every one of us, Muslim and Jew Christian, black, white, Latino, AAPI, queer and straight, Israeli and Palestinian, deserves to live in dignity and in peace."
Brous added "some say that this story is impossible, but we know that the God of redemption specializes in the impossible, and so must. May we be guided by hope, joy and a fierce moral imagination."
The Lebanese newspaper Al-Mayadeen, which is affiliated with Hezbollah, reported late Tuesday that the Israeli military has attacked near the city of Baalbek and in the Beqaa Valley, some 100 kilometers north of the border with Israel.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke Tuesday and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy discussed "the importance of completing the ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza, bringing the hostages home, and increasing the flow of humanitarian assistance," according to the State Department. They also discussed the need to deescalate tensions in the region.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the need to "move quickly" to secure a ceasefire and release hostages in Gaza during talks with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.
Starmer welcomed Israel's support for the U.S.-backed proposal for a cease-fire, while both leaders agreed that "regional de-escalation was in everyone's interests," according to his office at 10 Downing Street.
Starmer also expressed his "sincere" condolences to the Israeli people and the loved ones of the six hostages recovered in Gaza on Tuesday, including 51-year-old British-Israeli Nadav Popplewell .
A Downing Street spokeswoman said of the call: "The prime minister started by expressing his sincere condolences to the Israeli people and the loved ones of the six hostages recovered in Gaza this morning, including British national Nadav Popplewell.
"The leaders discussed diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages, and the prime minister welcomed Israel's support for the American 'bridging proposal' and emphasized the need to move quickly.
"Regional de-escalation was in everyone's interests, as the impact of miscalculation would come at great costs for all sides, the leaders agreed. The UK was steadfast in its support for Israel's right to self-defense and would continue to work with partners to uphold regional security, the prime minister added.
"The prime minister also urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to ensure greater access to detainees held by Israel, the increased delivery of aid to Gaza and to ensure international law was upheld at all times. The leaders agreed to stay in close touch."
Islamic state claims attack in germany that killed three: 'to avenge muslims in palestine', court rejects appeal over antisemitic sculpture on german church, three israeli reserve soldiers killed in battle in the central gaza strip, idf announces, masked israeli settlers attack two palestinian west bank villages in separate incidents, learn how to optimize your home solar system, poet, karate champion, famed artist: the life stories of 40 of the 40,000 killed in gaza, the numbers show: gaza war is one of the bloodiest in the 21st century, 'now, many israelis have evacuated their homes. but we moved from one planet to another', we served on israel's sde teiman base. here's what we did to gazan detainees, israel wants to trap iran's 'ghost fleet,' oil tankers financing its axis under the radar, the ring of fire around israel: a look at the arsenals of iran, hezbollah and the houthis.
