Students at Netanyahu's former high school campaign for his removal from hall of fame
More than 200 students from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's former high school in Pennsylvania have petitioned to oust him from their hall of fame. The students submitted a petition to the Cheltenham High Alumni Association last month to have a photo of the alumnus removed from the school's hall of fame, the New York Times reported on Friday. The campaigning students cited Netanyahu's arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC), which accuses him of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, as well his indictment on corruption charges in Israel. The New York Times reported that students sent an email to the alumni association that read: "When students see these alumni on the wall of fame as we walk past every day, we understand that these are people we should look up to, and we strive to be like them one day. "As such, we feel it is not right for him [Netanyahu] to continue to be recognised in our school." New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Netanyahu attended the high school for four years and graduated in 1967 while his family lived in Cheltenham Township. He was elected to the hall of fame in 1999, when he was serving his first term as prime minister. A decision is expected to be made in a closed-door meeting between officers from the alumni association and school district officials on 25 July. Middle East Eye reached out to the school for comment but did not receive a response by time of publication.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad loses contact with group holding Israeli soldier
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) on Tuesday announced that it has lost contact with its own guards that are holding an Israeli soldier captive in Gaza. PIJ said it does not know the fate of Rom Braslavski or those who were assigned to keep him alive. Fighting factions in Gaza, including Hamas, have often lost contact with one another and their own teams as they turn to more primitive communication methods to avoid detection and surveillance.

Israeli army has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians seeking aid since late May
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces while trying to access food in Gaza since the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation started operations, the United Nations said on Tuesday. 'The horrific physical and psychological deaths and suffering caused by hunger are the result of Israel's interference in the delivery and militarisation of humanitarian aid,' the UN statement reads. "As of July 21, we have recorded 1,054 people killed in Gaza while trying to get food; 766 of them were killed in the vicinity of GHF sites and 288 near UN and other humanitarian organisations' aid convoys," UN human rights office spokesman Thameen Al-Kheetan told AFP, stating the victims had been killed by the Israeli military.
