""Even after having released almost 2,000 people last week, the Israeli military is still holding about 9,000 Palestinians, in what it calls security prisoners or detainees," says Sari Bashi, an Israeli American human rights lawyer and former program director at Human Rights Watch. "Only about a thousand of them have actually been convicted of any crime. The vast majority of people being held are being held without trial." Bashi also says the genocide has "been hell" for her Palestinian husband, whose family is based in Gaza. Their relationship is chronicled in Bashi's forthcoming memoir, Upside-Down Love."
""AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org. I'm Amy Goodman. An estimated 7 million people took part in "No Kings" rallies on Saturday. We're going to go to that in our next segment, but right now we remain talking about Israel and Gaza. As we have reported, Israel carried out a wave of deadly attacks in Gaza over the weekend, temporarily halting aid deliveries, but Israel is now saying it's going to resume enforcement of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire. This comes as both the U.S. envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are in Israel awaiting JD Vance to arrive.""
The Israeli military released nearly 2,000 detainees last week but continues to hold about 9,000 Palestinians classified as security prisoners or detainees. Approximately 1,000 of those held have convictions; the majority remain detained without trial. Israel conducted deadly attacks in Gaza over the weekend and temporarily halted aid deliveries before indicating plans to resume enforcement of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. U.S. envoys and senior political figures traveled to Israel amid these developments. Large "No Kings" rallies reportedly drew millions of participants. Claims also note that captives' bodies have not been returned while rubble-clearing machinery remains blocked.
