این همه سازمان و نهاد دولتی و حاکمیتی حساس‌ترین دیتای کشور رو لو دادن و کسی پاسخگو نیست. ولی یه استارتاپی که اطلاعات عمومی کشور رو فقط مرتب می‌کرد و ارائه می‌داد، متوقف کردن و ریختن مدیراشو گرفتن. و البته بازم کسی توضیحی نمیده. #رسمیو

Significant progress- but no breakthrough- on #Gaza ceasefire after second Trump - Netanyahu meeting. #Qatar delegation in DC facilitating. Breakthroughs on aid distribution & assurances to end war. More time needed on details of #Israel withdrawal from Gaza. A deal is close.

Eyal Benvenisti served in Israel's defense team at the ICJ in January 2024. He later left. He now describes Israel's plan to set up "a large concentration camp" while “encourag[ing] voluntary emigration” as "morally and legally unconscionable."
