It's time for the war to end and for the hostages to come home. That’s why we signed onto a letter calling for “an immediate cessation of hostilities in Gaza and the release of the Israeli hostages followed by diplomatic action to reach comprehensive regional peace and security.”
An important victory from grantees and partners on the ground, @Yesh_Din and @EmekShaveh! Well worth a read!
1/ Some good news in dark times:
After seven years, the High Court of Justice accepted our petition submitted together with @Yesh_Din and the residents Ras Karkar and Deir 'Ammar against the illegal construction by settlers at Nabi Aner emekshaveh.org/en/nabi_anir_… >>
Good.
May this lead to a ceasefire and hostage deal, and an end to the war for good.

Listen to hosts @sally_abed and @ShusterNoam interview Mohammad Kundos, principle of one of Israel’s only Hand-in-Hand bilingual schools.
A beautiful, inspiring interview.
May their memory be a blessing and may we have a deal. Now.
The Hostages Families Forum bows its head in mourning for the murder in captivity of Ori Danino, Almog Sarusi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Carmel Gat, and Eden Yerushalmi, may their memory be a blessing.
These six hostages, kidnapped alive on October 7th, were later murdered while in captivity.
They could have been reunited with their families if a deal had been reached earlier.
Following the horrific events of October 7, the violence unfolding in Israel & Gaza has continued to loom large globally. This event looks at the basic concepts of international law & how matters before ICJ/ICC are playing out on campuses in Australia. nif.li/courtstocampustwitter

This is a welcome development but with 16 outposts established in this year and 5 legalised in June alone, so much more needs to be done to fight against the entrenching of the occupation in the West Bank.
