My heart breaks for the Bani Odeh family. Ali Bani Odeh, his wife, and two of their young children — only 5 and 7 years old — were killed in Tammun. Two other children survived and will carry this trauma for the rest of their lives. Beyond politics, beyond narratives, this is the destruction of a family. An investigation has already been announced. As usual, we will likely hear familiar conclusions: a failure in identifying the target, mistaken identity, or an operational error. But when civilians are killed again and again, the question becomes unavoidable: Is this a problem of failing to identify targets? Is it a problem of not knowing how to aim? Or is it a problem of knowing exactly what is being done and accepting the consequences? No child should live through this. No parent should die this way. The investigation must not be a formality. Truth, accountability, and justice are the minimum owed to the Bani Odeh family — and to every civilian life that deserves protection.

NEW—In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.

The Foreign Press Association just released a powerful video and petition saying "Israel must allow international media into Gaza." The video includes @clarissaward and @JDiamond1 of CNN and many other international correspondents. c.org/BfXbQdXjd9

Mark Butler offered a helpful reminder about the importance of prostate check-ups, a task that may have struck some Liberal and National MPs as a more enjoyable way to spend their time than participating in this particular question time smh.com.au/politics/feder…

This moment matters not only for Gaza’s residents, or for Palestinians as a whole. A stable, functional Gaza governed by professionals rather than armed movements is a cornerstone of regional stability and Israeli-Palestinian de-escalation Phase Two establishes a transitional technocratic Palestinian administration in Gaza and initiates the process of full demilitarization and reconstruction. The language has shifted decisively: from emergency management to governance, from humanitarian containment to long-term regional stabilization. A new architecture is taking shape. It includes an international Board of Peace, an executive framework led by American leadership, and a technocratic governing body tasked with overseeing Gaza’s recovery. This is a pivotal — and rare — moment, marking the beginning of a new governing phase for Gaza: one defined by competence, accountability, and reconstruction rather than factional rule.

Australia has a powerful voice on the international stage — and we ask our 🇦🇺 friends to use it to support the Belarusian people. Thank you @KnottMatthew & @smh for the interview about my first visit to 🇦🇺 and our work to help Belarusians and support 🇺🇦. smh.com.au/politics/feder…
