Evening recap

Hello Middle East Eye readers. Friday began with the highly anticipated interim decision by the International Court of Justice, which ruled that Israel must prevent a genocide in Gaza and has a month to prove it is doing so.

The decision was welcomed by much of the international community as a victory for the Palestinian people. However, the response from inside Gaza was dreadful, as Palestinians saw the decision as meaning they will have to continue facing Israel's military assault for another month.

Inside the US, a federal court in Oakland heard a historic hearing on a lawsuit accusing the Biden administration of failing to stop a genocide in Gaza.

And as global attention turned towards The Hague on Friday, Israel continued its military campaign in Khan Younis, targeting two hospitals in the city.

Here's what you need to know from today's developments:

• The planned meeting between President Joe Biden's campaign team and Arab and Muslim American leaders in Dearborn was cancelled due to the outrage from the community over Biden's support of Israel's devastating war in Gaza.

• Qassam Yassin, a 27-year-old Palestinian man, was killed by Israeli forces in the village of Deir Abu Daif, near Jenin, in the occupied West Bank.

• The US suspended funding for Unrwa, saying it was "troubled" by allegations that 12 of its employees might have been involved in the 7 October Hamas-led attack on southern Israel. The suspension pauses funding for the UN agency at a critical time as many Palestinians are sheltering at Unrwa facilities in Gaza.

• In Khan Younis, hospitals received the bodies of 18 Palestinians and dozens of others who were wounded.

• At least 6 Palestinians were killed by an Israeli aerial bombing in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

• Two vessels in the Red Sea caught fire after being attacked by Houthi missiles.
