The Final Moments of Two Promising Lives Cut Short by a Gunman Fixated on Gaza

It was Wednesday evening, around 9 p.m., and Ran Goldstein, a humanitarian aid worker for the Israeli charity IsraAID, had just finished a panel discussion at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The theme: how organizations like his had managed to work in places like Gaza and Syria to alleviate suffering.
'Every evening in Washington is like this,' Goldstein said, recalling the usual procession of cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and networking. (In this case, the sushi and wasabi were kosher.)

Canada praises US stance on Ukraine security guarantees

TORONTO (Reuters) -Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday welcomed what he said was U.S. openness to providing security guarantees to Ukraine under a peace deal to end Russia's war against Kyiv. "Robust and credible security guarantees are essential to any just and lasting peace. I welcome the openness of the United States to providing security guarantees as part of Coalition of the Willing's efforts," Carney said in a statement. "The leadership of President Trump and the United States is creating the opportunity to end Russia's illegal war in Ukraine."

Israel prepares to move Palestinians to southern Gaza ahead of offensive

Israel announced on Saturday that it is preparing to move Palestinians from combat zones to southern Gaza as plans move ahead for a military offensive in some of the territory's most populated areas. The Israeli military body in charge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, Cogat, said the supply of tents and other shelter equipment to the territory would resume on Sunday ahead of the mass movement of Palestinians to the south. The military said it had no comment on when that movement would begin. Meanwhile, anxious families of Israeli hostages called for a 'nationwide day of stoppage' in Israel on Sunday to express growing frustration over 22 months of war. Families of hostages fear the coming offensive further endangers the 50 hostages remaining in Gaza, just 20 of them thought to still be alive. The families and supporters have pressed the government for a deal to stop the war – a call that some former Israeli army and intelligence chiefs have also made in recent weeks. 'I want to believe that there is hope, and it will not come from above, it will come only from us,' said Dana Silberman Sitton, sister of Shiri Bibas and aunt of Kfir and Ariel Bibas, who were killed in captivity. She spoke at a weekly rally in Tel Aviv.
