Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

  • At least one man was killed and many others wounded in northern Gaza after Israeli forces opened fire on crowds waiting for food aid, according to witnesses and videos

  • Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said there has been an “international attempt to force upon us a Palestinian state” and that he had long resisted such a move

  • Brazil has said that it won’t retract comments made by its president drawing parallels between Israel’s war on Gaza and the Holocaust

  • The US has drafted a resolution for the UN Security Council calling for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza “as soon as practical” and warns Israel not to launch a ground offensive on Rafah
