US-Israeli Gaza genocide
We begin this bulletin in Gaza as we have done for more than 10 months now. Because that’s where Israel has been waging a genocidal war, killing Palestinians at every place imaginable. Residential buildings have been among the main targets of Israeli airstrikes and when one was struck east of the southern city of Khan Younis, at least 10 Palestinian civilians were killed. Israeli warplanes also hit a car south of the city, killing three Palestinians. To the north of the strip, Israeli airstrikes targeted the vicinity of a mosque in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City. Another three civilians were killed and many others injured. Those are just some of the 142 Palestinians killed in a matter of 24 hours. Since October 7, nearly 39,900 Palestinians are known to have been killed in the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza. That’s roughly one person every 10 minutes.
Divisions in Israel
Divisions are growing within the Israeli cabinet over the genocidal war in Gaza. The regime’s minister of military affairs has dismissed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s talk of total victory in the strip as nonsense. Yoav Gallant told a Knesset committee that Israel is in part to blame for stalling ceasefire talks. He said the Israeli military supports a ceasefire in both Gaza and the northern occupied territories with Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Netanyahu's office later said Gallant has adopted an anti-Israel narrative and is harming the prospects of reaching a ceasefire deal. The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, says Gallant’s admission confirms what it has been saying all along that Netanyahu is lying to the world, doesn't care about the captives' lives and doesn't want to reach an agreement.
Gaza genocide economic fallout
The war on Gaza is taking a heavy toll on the Israeli economy. US credit rating agency Fitch has downgraded Israel a notch, warning of further deterioration. Fitch lowered Israel's rating from "A+" to "A". It cited the genocidal war in Gaza potentially lasting well into 2025 and spilling over to other fronts. The credit agency said this will force Israel to continue its high spending on military, further disrupting tourism, construction and production. Fitch is the third major credit agency to lower Israel’s credit rating. This year, Israel is projected to run a budget deficit of 7.8 percent of GDP while 60,000 of its businesses are expected to shut down.
