  Here’s what happened today

  We will be closing this live page soon. Here’s a look at the day’s main events:

  • At least 84 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip, including air attacks on northern Gaza’s Jabalia that left at least 50 people dead.
  • Thousands of Palestinians have fled parts of Gaza City’s Remal neighbourhood after the Israeli army announced plans to attack because it said Hamas – without providing any evidence – was operating there.
  • Hamas says Israel’s bombing campaign would “bring Netanyahu no form of victory” in Gaza, as the group also condemned the Israeli military’s forced evacuation orders.
  • US President Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, says he is hopeful that a Gaza deal can be reached after he held talks in Qatar’s capital with Qatari officials and the families of Israeli captives.

  Palestinian man wounded in Israeli raid on occupied West Bank: Report

  Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting that the man was shot in the back by Israeli forces in a raid on the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya in the northern occupied West Bank.

  Wafa’s sources said the Israeli military opened “heavy fire” and tried to block paramedics from reaching the wounded man.

  Separately, Wafa also reported that clashes broke out in Beit Fajjar, near Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank, after Israeli forces stormed into the town.

  The army also raided Arraba, near Jenin, and carried out raids in Haris and Bruqin, near Salfit.

  What is Nakba Day and what does it commemorate?

  Every year on May 15, Palestinians mark Nakba Day to commemorate the ethnic cleansing of Palestine upon the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.

  Zionist forces expelled about 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands between 1947 and 1949, capturing 78 percent of historical Palestine.

  Today, Palestinians and their supporters commemorate the Nakba – “catastrophe” in Arabic – with marches, protests and other events.

  As Israel continues its deadly military bombardment of Gaza and tries to push Palestinians out of the coastal enclave, many observers say the Nakba never ended.

  Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to launch operations in Strip by end of May

  The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has announced it will launch operations in Gaza before the end of the month, adding that Israel has agreed to expand the number of “Secure Distribution Sites” to serve the Strip’s entire population, according to a statement.

  In a letter to the Israeli government, the foundation’s executive director, Jake Wood, requested that Israel facilitate the flow of enough aid using existing modalities to Gaza until it is fully operational.

  US officials announced the GHF’s establishment last week to implement a new aid distribution system, supplanting the current one run by the United Nations and other international aid agencies.

  According to reports, under the proposal, private contractors will be used to secure hubs where Palestinians will be required to gather to collect supplies.

  Israel, which has halted the entry of all aid to Gaza since March 2, deepening the humanitarian crisis, has previously said it will not relax the blockade until a system is in place that gives it control over the distribution, insisting that supplies are used to support Hamas.

  UN officials have slammed the proposal, saying that aid distribution must be independent, impartial and neutral, in line with humanitarian principles.

  Ben & Jerry’s cofounder removed from RFK Jr hearing for Gaza protest

  Ben Cohen, one of the cofounders of the famed US ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s, was removed from a congressional committee hearing in Washington, DC, after he interrupted Health and Human Services Director Robert F Kennedy Jr.

  Asked why he was being removed, Cohen said: “Congress kills poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs and pays for it by kicking kids off Medicaid in the US.”

  Qatari PM says told Israel to ‘engage in meaningful negotiations’

  Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the Qatari prime minister, says the country had viewed the release of US-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander from Gaza “as a breakthrough” that would help put talks towards ending the war back on track.

  “Unfortunately, the Israeli reaction to this was a mass bombing [of Gaza] the next day,” the Qatari leader said in an interview with CNN after an event in Qatar with US President Trump.

  Sheikh Mohammed also noted that while Israel sent a delegation to Qatar for talks, “statements coming out of the Israeli government [were] that this delegation is coming to negotiate a hostage deal without ending the war”.

  That “is basically sending the signal that we are not interested in negotiations”, he said. “This was a bad signal, and we have highlighted this concern to the Israelis.

  “And we told them [the Israelis] that we need to engage in meaningful negotiations” that will see the return of all Israeli captives, end the war, and alleviate humanitarian suffering in the Palestinian enclave”, Sheikh Mohammed said.
