Welcome to +972’s Sunday Recap!

Against the backdrop of Hamas’ collapsing governing apparatus and the continued absence of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, Mohamed Solaimane reported on how clans are moving to fill Gaza’s leadership void: Extended families across the Strip are holding elections to ensure they are accounted for by aid groups — and, for some, to consolidate political ambitions.

Shatha Yaish examined the first land seizure order for an Israeli army base inside a West Bank city since Oslo. The order, issued near Jenin refugee camp, marks the latest effort to expand military and settler presence in the northern occupied territory.

Two weeks ago, Ahmed Dremly evacuated Gaza after receiving a scholarship to study at an Italian university. Writing from a quiet balcony thousands of miles away, he reflected on how, after living through Gaza’s carnage, now it consumes him from outside.

Rats, raw sewage, skin diseases: These are among the conditions confronting Gaza’s displaced as Israel’s siege continues. Ahmed Dremly and Ibtisam Mahdi spoke with families enduring life in overcrowded tent camps amid ongoing restrictions on aid and the collapse of the Strip’s health system.

And on the latest episode of The +972 Podcast, Amos Brison spoke with professor of language and education Nurit Peled-Elhanan about how Israeli classrooms, she argued, indoctrinate Jewish supremacy. Together, they unpack the ways children are taught to see domination as necessary and Palestinians as ‘a problem to be solved.’
