Jerusalem Daily: Mass funeral in Gaza as Netanyahu clings to power

A mass funeral in Gaza for 70 people, whose bodies were recovered from under the rubble. Israeli forces fire tear gas at a Palestinian mother and her children in Bethlehem, then drive off. In Israel, Netanyahu just won't let go, desperately pleading with Eisenkot to allow him to join a government. And a senior Israeli rabbi ruled anyone who supports Arab parties in government can be killed. A mass funeral in Gaza for 70 Palestinians Israel killed, whose bodies were just recovered from under the rubble. Some of the people being buried were killed as far back as three years ago, and emergency teams were only able to recover their bodies now. The target is to land on the 27th, 10th, 23rd, the first 20 days of the war. Of course, 16 of my sons and daughters were killed inside the house. Israel's destruction has left behind around 60 million tons of rubble in Gaza. On top of that, Israel's ban on the entry of heavy machinery and the scarcity of fuel make the search slow and labor-intensive. At least 8,000 to 10,000 people are still missing in Gaza, according to the Palestinian civil defense and the UN. Their bodies likely crushed under destroyed buildings and heaps of rubble. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces were seen firing tear gas at a mother out with her children in Bethlehem. The CCTV footage captures an Israeli military vehicle driving by, throwing a tear gas canister and driving off. Over in Israel, caretaker Prime Minister Gadi Eizenkot is still trying to form a new government. But Benjamin Netanyahu keeps urging him to form a unity government that includes him and his party. Eisenkot has been dismissing these desperate plies by his political rival as tricks that don't work on him. He did, however, say that members of Likud could join his government if Netanyahu accepts his rules and breaks ties with the extremists. By extremists, he means Itamar Ben-Gavir and Bezalel Smotrich. Netanyahu, on the other hand, says the security situation is so complex at the moment that it requires him and his party to be involved. His fixation on on Iran as an alleged existential threat to Israel continues. Bearing in mind that the Israeli defense establishment hasn't identified any current threat from Iran, Netanyahu is inciting against the Arab parties too, publishing a video where commentators accuse the Arab-led party Ra'am of ties to an organization that's allegedly linked to Hamas. And he's not the only one that has a problem with the Arab parties. This Israeli rabbi issued a ruling that Jewish politicians who work to form a government with Arab parties, or even abstain on the question of Arab parties in government, can be killed. The ruling by Rabbi Gedalia, who was formerly the head of Haifa's rabbinical court, has prompted calls for police to investigate him over possible incitement to violence.
