Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Netanyahu Says U.S. Gave Him Green Light to Resume Attacking Gaza Despite Ceasefire

HeadlineJan 20, 2025

On Saturday, Netanyahu said Israel reserves the right to resume attacks on Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Both President Trump and President Biden gave full backing to Israel’s right to return to fighting if Israel reaches the conclusion that negotiations of the second stage is fruitless. I appreciate it very much. … If we need to resume fighting, we will do that in new ways, and we will do it with great force.”

Israel killed about 200 Palestinians after the ceasefire was first agreed to on Wednesday. We will have more on the Gaza ceasefire after headlines.
