“More than 5,300 Palestinian children have been reportedly killed in just 46 days – that is over 115 a day, every day, for weeks and weeks. Based on these figures, children account for forty per cent of the deaths in Gaza. This is unprecedented. In other words, today, the Gaza Strip is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child.
“We are also receiving reports that more than 1,200 children remain under the rubble of bombed out buildings or are otherwise unaccounted for.
You have to fuck up pretty badly in order to not just get fired from a law firm but also have them immediately offer to represent your victim for free in taking legal action against you.

That’s a new level of fucked up in this conflict.

Qatar says truce in Gaza will start on Friday at 7am
Qatar, which has been mediating between Israel and Hamas, has just announced the temporary ceasefire in Gaza will start on Friday morning.The first group of hostages will be released in the afternoon.
This is said to be the Israeli minister of communications demanding that Ha’aretz be closed down.
ETA: From the Guardian’s liveblog:
Israel’s communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, has proposed halting government funding for the daily Haaretz newspaper, accusing the publication of “defeatist and false propaganda” against the state of Israel, according to a Times of Israel report.
In a letter to cabinet secretary Yossi Fuchs, Karhi criticised Haaretz for its editorial stance on the war, and proposed that the state not enter into any new commercial agreements with the newspaper, halt all advertising in it, and block any outstanding payments from being made. He wrote:
Since the beginning of the war, my office has received numerous complaints that the Haaretz newspaper has taken a harmful line that undermines the goals of the war and weakens the military effort and societal resilience.
The letter comes after a report in Haaretz published on Saturday that said an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) helicopter that engaged Hamas militants at the Nova music festival on 7 October also fired on festival participants.
