1700 Israeli academics, including Nobel laureates, university presidents, provosts and deans send a clear message to Israeli government: do not pursue the population concentration plan in Gaza, as this is immoral, and would constitute a war crime and a crime against humanity.

Supreme Court of Israel gives the state an extension for the 17th (!) time in a petition to allow ICRC visits to detainees in Israel (stopped since Oct 7).
