Here in the U.S., nearly 50 House Democrats sent a letter to the White House Monday calling on President Trump to hold Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accountable for Israel’s clear violations of the ceasefire. They write, “It is imperative that your administration exerts maximum diplomatic pressure on the Israeli government, including by leveraging U.S. assistance, to bring an end to the near-daily attacks on civilians, including children, destruction of civilian property, and insufficient delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid.”

Separately, a group of 17 U.S. senators sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the Trump administration to demand that Israel allow free and independent press access to Gaza. It comes after Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday granted a 10th extension to the government to respond to a petition brought by journalists seeking access to the Gaza Strip, but ruled that it must respond by January 4.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Knesset approved an extension of a law allowing officials to close foreign media channels on the grounds of “harming state security.” The law will now remain in effect until at least the end of 2027.
