At least 112 people were killed in the 24 hours before late Tuesday morning, 22 while trying to get aid, the ministry says.

Plus, some Republican lawmakers are pushing for legislation to end "weather modification," pushing a fringe theory that humans are controlling the weather into the mainstream.

The toll announced by the Gaza Health Ministry is likely to be an undercount as Israel pursues its war and starvation spreads.

Israel's military offensive on the Gaza Strip has killed at least 60,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7, 2023, the enclave's health ministry said, a conflict that has devastated the coastal territory and triggered a humanitarian crisis.

Senate Democrats are imploring President Donald Trump's administration to step up its role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza.

President Trump said yesterday that there was “real starvation” in Gaza, disagreeing with a recent assertion by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, that the territory had sufficient food.

Both Ben-Gvir and Smotrich expressed sympathy for violent settler attacks in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Both sought to annex the West Bank and disenfranchise or expel the Palestinians living there. And both became ministers in Netanyahu’s new government, because the Israeli leader desperately needed their support.

Trump made surprising tonal shifts Monday on Gaza and Ukraine. Responding to hideous video of malnourished children in Gaza, Trump contradicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that there’s no starvation in the enclave after months of Israeli bombardments.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will hold an emergency cabinet on Tuesday to discuss the situation in Gaza and a proposed peace plan as he comes under mounting pressure from his own party to recognise a Palestinian state.
