Israeli journalists held a vigil in Tel Aviv condemning Israel's killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza, accusing the military of systematically targeting media workers to suppress reporting.
Oren Ziv, an Israeli journalist with +972 Magazine, explained that while most Israeli society and mainstream media celebrated these killings, a small group was protesting to show solidarity with Palestinian journalists working under impossible conditions.
He argued Israel is deliberately silencing Gaza's last remaining journalists ahead of its planned assault on Gaza City, while also blocking international media access for nearly two years.
Ziv criticized the Israeli media for completely aligning with the government's narrative, failing to report on Gaza's starvation crisis or civilian casualties, which leaves the public unaware of the war's brutality. Though small anti-war protests exist - including by refuseniks calling the war "genocide" - they're largely ignored by mainstream outlets.
While polls show disturbing levels of public support for extreme violence against Gazans, Ziv noted most Israelis would accept a ceasefire deal for hostages, suggesting Netanyahu's renewed offensive aims to distract from this growing domestic pressure.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin prepared to meet his US counterpart in Alaska, there were no indications that a deal to end the Ukraine war was imminent.

Editor of the National Interest, Jacob Heilbrunn, tells host Steve Clemons that US President Donald Trump “will try and reach an agreement with Putin and impose it upon Ukraine. If Ukraine refuses, then he'll wash his hands of it and say that Ukraine is the obstacle to peace.”

Heilbrunn argues that Trump is “squeezing the remnants of what’s left of the American empire” and that “the American brand is tattered” globally.
