Ultranationalist Israeli politicians, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, wore golden noose-shaped lapel pins to a meeting on Monday in order to show their "commitment" to advancing a widely condemned bill to mandate the death penalty for "terrorists" who kill Israelis. The pins resemble the yellow ribbon pins that Israeli leaders have worn throughout their genocide to to acknowledge the Israeli captives held in Gaza.

Just a day earlier, Ben-Gvir led a group of Jewish worshippers in prayer on the Temple Mount, the flashpoint site in Jerusalem that also houses the Al Aqsa Mosque, and called for "total victory" in Gaza. Now he was sitting with his fellow ministers to discuss how to bring to an end two years of hostilities that had reduced much of Gaza to a charred wasteland-but had left Hamas still standing.

A state does not starve people," the group said. "People do not starve people, no matter what they have done.

Israeli settlers have assaulted a Bedouin family near the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, while Israeli forces continue to carry out raids and arrests across the occupied West Bank , as the military relentlessly pounds Gaza. Two Palestinians were also injured by settler gunfire during an attack on the Khallet al-Eis area in the town of Ash-Shuyukh, northeast of Hebron.

Yale University received praise from the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism for its response to protests during Itamar Ben-Gvir's visit, highlighting the university's proactive stance on policy violations.

"The tone was very different than at Ben-Gvir's other local appearances, where details were kept hidden to avoid protests due to his controversial reputation."

Ben-Gvir expressed that he had the honor of meeting with senior Republican officials at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, who supported his stance on Gaza.

The fundraiser for Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was canceled shortly before his U.S. visit due to unforeseen scheduling changes, according to an organizer.
