Potential ceasefire deal still at discussion stage, as U.S. President Joe Biden calls Hamas counter-proposal “a little over the top.” Israel continues to bomb Rafah and Khan Younis in Gaza, as Israeli forces raid the West Bank, killing one teenager.

Progressives are shouting down Biden speeches over his support for Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza, while Arab-American leaders challenge Biden, “See you in November.” And the press is finally stating that the brutal policy could cost Biden the election.
A mass grave in northern Gaza was found following the withdrawal of Israeli forces. The already decomposing bodies were tied up, blindfolded, and dumped after allegedly being killed execution-style.
