United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio is conducting a press conference during his visit to Israel. Concurrently, residents of the West Bank have expressed concerns regarding a potential shift in Israeli focus towards the territory following the de-escalation of the Gaza conflict.
Amidst ongoing efforts by mediators to bolster a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, reports from Palestinian and UN officials detail continued Israeli settler violence targeting the Palestinian olive harvest in the occupied West Bank. At least 158 attacks have been recorded since the commencement of the olive harvest, including an instance near Hebron where Israeli soldiers blocked Palestinian access to an olive harvesting area after settlers and troops declared it a closed military zone. The Israeli military further clarified that sirens heard in communities near Gaza early Friday were determined to be a false identification. Separately, a Palestine rights group is pursuing the prosecution of United Kingdom citizens who fought for Israel.
