An Israeli whose parents were killed on Oct. 7, 2023, and a Palestinian whose brother died from injuries in Israeli custody say they've become like brothers. Their new book is The Future Is Peace: A Shared Journey Across the Holy Land.

An official who was briefed on the investigation said Alexander Heifler, 26, identified as a member of the JDL 613 Brotherhood, which describes its membership as "Jewish warriors" fighting back against rising antisemitism.

The ceasefire, in effect for the past six months, has brought some reprieve to Palestinians in Gaza despite continued hardship, displacement and Israeli restrictions on aid.

A recent Israeli decision to bar Doctors Without Borders and other aid groups means international staff and aid can no longer enter Gaza or the West Bank. Local staff must rely on dwindling supplies and no international expertise.

Israel accused Doctors Without Borders, one of the largest health organizations operating in Gaza, of failing to clarify the roles of some staff that Israel accused of cooperation with militants.
