Dozens of people gathered at a rally in Coral Gables to push for peace in Israel and Gaza.Around 40-50 people attended the protest organized by South Florida Jewish Voice for Peace on Monday, gathering just after 4 p.m., wanting the opportunity to exercise their right to protest.They picked the spot strategically to protest in front of Senator Rick Scott’s office, with the intention of asking the government to get more involved by “demanding a ceasefire immediately”.The group said their focus is on helping the people of Gaza, specifically that the push for peace is in an effort to protect Palestinians living in Gaza.“The slaughtering of innocent people as manifested by the bombing less than an hour or so ago, of a civilian hospital in which more than 500 people were killed,” said Alan Levine of the South Florida Jewish Voice for Peace. “That kind of slaughter is simply inexcusable, indefensible, and we’re here to say ‘No, not in our na...

Gaza hospital strike: Attacks on civilian infrastructure are against the law, says Charles Michel

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:23:57 GMT

European Council President Charles Michel said Tuesday that attacking civilian infrastructure is against international law after Israel was accused of bombing a hospital in Gaza. A massive blast rocked a Gaza City hospital packed with Palestinians on Tuesday, killing at least 500 people, the Hamas-run health ministry said. Hamas blamed an Israeli airstrike, but the Israeli military denied it was responsible and said the hospital was hit by a rocket misfired by Palestinian militants.“We got this information when we were together during this virtual meeting with leaders,” Michel said, speaking after a video conference of EU leaders to coordinate the bloc’s line on the Israel-Hamas conflict. The attack “seems to be confirmed,” he added, without naming the perpetrators. “An attack against a civilian infrastructure is not in line with the international law.” The EU leaders issued a joint statement on the topic on Sunday after a week of conflicting messages, for examp...
