Representatives want Israel to open more border crossings and provide safe movement for humanitarian staff and civilians who are going back to parts of Gaza that were experiencing severe attacks just a short time ago.
• The leader Joseph Aoun censured the Israeli government on the weekend for conducting nocturnal attacks on civilian facilities that the health ministry said resulted in at least one death.
