Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel’s Far-Right Leaders Dispute Future of Gaza

HeadlineMay 16, 2024

Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has publicly challenged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s future plans for Gaza. Gallant said he opposes Israeli military or civilian rule over the Gaza Strip.

Yoav Gallant: “We must dismantle Hamas’s governing capabilities in Gaza. The key to this goal is military action and the establishment of a governing alternative in Gaza. In the absence of such an alternative, only two negative options remain: Hamas’s rule in Gaza or Israeli military rule in Gaza.”

Gallant’s comments came a day after another member of Netanyahu’s government, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, took part in a march calling for Israel to resettle Gaza and expel Palestinians living there.
