Family of Palestinian American killed by Israeli settlers demands US probe
The family of Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old US citizen from Florida who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, is calling on Washington to launch its own probe into the incident and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Musallet’s family said in a statement that Israeli settlers surrounded him for three hours during the assault on Friday and attacked medics who were trying to reach him.
The slain young man, known as Saif, was a “kind, hard-working, and deeply-respected young man, working to build his dreams”, the family said.
“This is an unimaginable nightmare and injustice that no family should ever have to face,” the statement added.
“We demand the US State Department lead an immediate investigation and hold the Israeli settlers who killed Saif accountable for their crimes. We demand justice.”

Demonstration held in Tel Aviv for children killed in Gaza
Protesters in Tel Aviv have gathered to hold a silent vigil for children killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza and call for a comprehensive ceasefire to end the war.
Demonstrators on the side of the road held candles and pictures showing hundreds of children who were killed in Gaza as they tried to raise awareness as another large group marched to demand the immediate release of all captives still held in Gaza.
“First of all, I am in pain and ashamed of what is going on, of what Israel has been doing for almost two years now: the genocide in Gaza, the butchery of thousands of innocent civilians, almost 20,000 children,” Ofer Cassif, a member of the Knesset, said on Saturday.
“Of course, there is an ethnic cleansing going on as well in the West Bank. Fascism running rampant within Israel.”
Helen Reisel, a psychologist, said: “It’s extremely, extremely necessary to show our care and what we want and what we believe in, and we have to show it by showing the pictures of these innocent children that are being killed, just as our innocent civilians were being massacred on October 7. This war keeps going on only for political reasons, not for any reason other than that.”

PIJ official says discussions on Israeli withdrawal from Gaza ‘currently stalled’
We’ve been speaking to an official at the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), an armed group that fights alongside Hamas in Gaza, about the ongoing ceasefire talks in Qatar.
Muhammad al-Hindi, the group’s deputy secretary-general, said the current talks are aimed at reaching a framework agreement that addresses three main issues: the end of Israel’s war, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, and mechanisms for the safe distribution of aid.
He said Israel wants to move on to discussing the details of the release of Israeli captives and Palestinian prisoners before reaching an agreement on the main issues.
“What we are currently discussing is a framework agreement,” al-Hindi said.
“The framework agreement revolves around three basic points. The first issue is the cessation of aggression. This requires guarantees. We do not trust any guarantees because of past experience. The United States provided guarantees, but after Israel took its prisoners, it did not comply,” he said.
“The second issue is the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. This is currently stalled. The Americans say we will postpone discussions on this point and begin talking about the prisoners’ issue. But the prisoners’ issue is not part of the framework. In the framework, we must agree on the withdrawal, which is a fundamental issue. Because if Israel wants to take Rafah and put up tents on the ruins of Rafah to cram in, starve, and oppress people, this is not a framework agreement,” he continued.
“The third issue is the mechanism for distributing aid. Are we going to legislate the death traps that everyone sees in the agreement? Are we going to say we agree to the death traps remaining? Today, so many people were killed while trying to get aid. No one can agree to this,” al-Hindi said. “We want to protect our people, not to offer these victims as easy prey for Israeli planes that bomb and kill them all the time.”
The official added that the Palestinian resistance will not sign any agreement that leads to surrender and the annexation of large areas of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces kill least 34 Palestinian aid seekers at GHF site

Samir Shaat, who survived the attack, described “pools of blood” at the GHF site and said the victims were being shrouded in the bags they had hoped to collect food in.
