Eleven Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza on Sunday morning, according to Palestinian civil defense and health officials, as reported by BBC World. The strikes, which the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said targeted terror targets in response to ceasefire violations by Hamas, included a strike on a tent encampment in northern Gaza that killed at least six people and another in the south of the strip that killed five.
The ongoing violence comes amidst a complex geopolitical landscape. Al Jazeera reported that more than a hundred days into Gaza's ceasefire, Israeli strikes continue, resulting in hundreds of Palestinian deaths. The situation is further complicated by the United States President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, which is pushing forward with Gaza reconstruction plans without any Palestinian representation in its top leadership, raising questions about the possibility of meaningful change. Gaza author and analyst Jehad Abusalim spoke to Marc Lamont Hill on Trump’s Board of Peace, discussing whether Gaza Palestinians will get a say in shaping their future, as reported by Al Jazeera.
In other international developments, five European countries have stated that lab tests concluded that Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny was killed in 2024 by a rare dart frog toxin while serving a 19-year sentence in a Siberia prison, as reported by Al Jazeera. Moscow has rejected the claim, insisting he died of natural causes.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government approved a proposal to register large areas of the occupied West Bank as state property, for the first time since the Israeli occupation of the territory in 1967, according to Al Jazeera. The proposal was submitted by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, Justice Minister Yariv Levin, and Defence Minister Israel Katz. "We are continuing the settlement revolution to control all our lands," Smotrich said.
In a separate development, the Wall Street Journal revealed that the US military used Anthropic’s AI model Claude during an operation to kidnap Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela, as reported by The Guardian. A spokesperson for Anthropic declined to comment on whether Claude was used in the operation, but stated that any use of the tool was required to comply with its policies.
