In Gaza, Israeli forces have once again violated the U.S.-brokered ceasefire with deadly violence. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports Israeli troops stationed in eastern Gaza shot and killed two civilians on Monday. Elsewhere, medics retrieved the bodies of two Palestinians from central Gaza after they were hit by shrapnel from Israeli artillery fire. 

Meanwhile, a member of a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid flotilla has returned home after he was abducted by Israeli commandos in international waters and brought to Israel for interrogation. Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila said from São Paolo on Monday he and other prisoners suffered torture in Israeli custody. Ávila blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the abuses.

Thiago Ávila: “Yes, he committed another war crime, but what he did against us is nothing compared to what they do to Palestinians every single day. Once again, we always need to say this: It’s not about us individually; it’s about a people that has been suffering eight decades of genocide and ethnic cleansing.”

After headlines, we’ll speak with Saif Abukeshek, who was also abducted from the Global Sumud Flotilla by Israeli forces.
