After 18 months of mourning , a Gaza son is found alive in an Israeli prison

Eid Nael Abu Shaar, a 25-year-old Palestinian from Gaza, was found alive in Israel's Ofer Prison on Monday after his family spent 18 months searching for him, believing he had died after he went missing on December 15, 2024, near the Netzarim Corridor. The discovery highlights a broader pattern: the Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared estimates 7,000–8,000 Palestinians are missing due to the war, with approximately 1,500 believed forcibly detained in Israeli prisons without official acknowledgment or ICRC access.

Israel Gaza dilemma : defeat Hamas or face endless war

Israeli security officials are debating whether to launch a renewed offensive into remaining areas of Gaza, as senior IDF commanders report Hamas is rebuilding its military capabilities, reconstituting leadership, smuggling weapons via humanitarian corridors, and reasserting control over the civilian population. The dilemma reflects a strategic impasse: a second large-scale ground invasion risks repeating a failed approach, while diplomatic management without Hamas disarmament may prove unsustainable, and any renewed offensive risks international backlash absent a public explanation of the threat.

Israel says ceasefire void if Hamas won't disarm, Board of Peace tells Palestinians

Nickolay Mladenov, the US-backed Board of Peace's High Representative for Gaza, warned Palestinian technocratic officials in a letter that Israel is not obligated to uphold the October 2025 ceasefire if Hamas refuses to disarm, according to a document obtained by the Times of Israel. Hamas has rejected the disarmament proposal requiring all armed groups to surrender weapons within 90 days, while Palestinian negotiators insist statehood and security arrangements must proceed together; Israel has reportedly killed at least 832 Palestinians since the ceasefire began and controls approximately 60 percent of Gaza territory.

JM Coetzee declines to attend Jerusalem writers festival over Israel’s ‘genocidal campaign in Gaza’

Nobel laureate JM Coetzee declined an invitation to the Jerusalem International Writers Festival (25–28 May), writing to organisers that Israel has conducted a "genocidal campaign in Gaza" that is "vastly disproportionate" to the 7 October 2023 attacks, and stating "It will take many years for Israel to clear its name." The 86-year-old South African-born author, who previously supported Israel and received the Jerusalem Prize in 1987, cited the campaign's scale and broad Israeli public support as reasons he could not attend an event in the country.

Man pleads guilty to Colorado firebombing, groups call for family reprieve

Mohamed Soliman, a 46-year-old Egyptian citizen, pleaded guilty on Thursday to murder charges stemming from a June 2025 firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado, in which he threw Molotov cocktails at demonstrators supporting Israeli captives held in Gaza, killing 82-year-old Karen Diamond. Soliman faces life sentences on two murder counts and federal hate crime charges; simultaneously, advocacy groups and lawmakers have renewed calls for the Trump administration to halt deportation proceedings against Soliman's wife and five children, who an FBI agent testified had no knowledge of the attack and have been held in immigration detention despite being uncharged.
