The U.S. is putting pressure on the PA to reform itself so it can take on a local governance role in a “postwar” Gaza Strip. But analysts say the resignation of the prime minister “won’t change the ways” of the massively unpopular PA.

UNRWA’s chief says dismantling the agency is “short-sighted” and will “sow the seeds of hatred, resentment, and future conflict.” Israeli forces fire at Palestinians seeking aid and food in Gaza City and detain others in southern Gaza. 

The “flour massacre” marked a new phase in Israel’s starving of northern Gaza when the army opened fire on crowds waiting for aid trucks. “Our lives must have become so cheap for so many people to die this way,” a witness told Mondoweiss.
