Here's how things look on Monday, January 29, 2024:

The latest developments

• Only eight planned UN missions in northern Gaza have succeeded since the beginning of January. The United Nations humanitarian agency in the occupied Palestinian territories said on Sunday that Israeli authorities had refused to grant permission for about 29 aid convoys, while hindering other deliveries due to “excessive delays.”
• Complaints of discrimination and hatred against Muslims and Palestinians in the United States rose by about 180 percent during the first three months of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said Monday.
• Hundreds of members of the Israeli settler community gathered for a conference in Jerusalem on Sunday calling on Israel to rebuild settlements in Gaza. The so-called “Return to Gaza” conference called for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from the Strip.
• The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the Jerusalem conference, which was also attended by 11 ministers from the new Israeli right-wing coalition government and 15 members of the Knesset, according to the Palestinian Wafa news agency.

Human impact and combat

Diplomacy
