Good evening Middle East Eye readers,
Israel launched attacks across the occupied West Bank on Monday, raiding villages and arresting Palestinians.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said Palestinians forcibly displaced by Israel in the occupied West Bank are struggling to access basic needs such as clean water, food, medical care and shelter.
Meanwhile, a member of the European Union parliament who was travelling to Israel and the occupied West Bank to meet Palestinian officials and human rights activists and was denied entry at Tel Aviv airport on Monday has slammed Israel as a "rogue state".
Here is what else you missed:
- Democracy for the Arab World Now (Dawn) has asked the International Criminal Court to investigate former US President Joe Biden for possible complicity in war crimes in Gaza
- Mousa Abu Marzouk, the head of Hamas's foreign relations office, said he would not have supported the group's 7 October 2023 attack on southern Israel had he known the devastating Israeli response that would have followed
- Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem slammed Marzouk's comments
- The EU supports the Palestinian Authority's return to the Gaza Strip, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said
