HEADLINES - **Netanyahu Accused of Obstructing War Oversight Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict** - **UNESCO Warns AI Could Spread Holocaust Misinformation, Fuel Antisemitism** - **Senior Israeli Negotiator Confirms Dozens of Hostages Alive, Stresses Military Pressure** The time is now 08:00 AM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report. In the latest developments from the Israel-Hamas conflict, we turn first to a significant report from the office of Israel's State Comptroller. The Comptroller has accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of obstructing oversight of the political echelon amidst the ongoing hostilities. This claim, detailed in a submission to the Supreme Court, alleges that Netanyahu's office has been exploiting a temporary injunction issued by the court to halt scrutiny over military and security agency actions, including the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet. The Comptroller has expressed concerns that this maneuver is being used to prevent criticism of the government's handling of the conflict, raising questions about transparency and accountability at the highest levels of Israeli leadership. In a related vein, a report by UNESCO, the United Nations' educational and cultural agency, has issued a stark warning about the dangers posed by artificial intelligence in the context of Holocaust education. The report cautions that AI, if misused, could spread false and misleading information about the Holocaust, potentially fueling antisemitism. This could occur either through flaws in the AI systems themselves or via deliberate actions by hate groups. UNESCO has called for stringent ethical guidelines from tech companies to prevent the dissemination of misinformation that could distort historical facts and undermine the collective memory of the atrocities committed during World War II. On the ground in Gaza, a senior Israeli negotiator has confirmed that dozens of hostages held by Hamas are still alive. This official, speaking on condition of anonymity, emphasized that these hostages are in grave danger and that any deal to release them must ensure their return before Israel can consider halting military operations. The negotiator underscored that Hamas cannot be trusted to uphold its commitments, suggesting that military pressure may remain the most effective means of securing the hostages' release. This comes as the Biden administration has proposed a three-phase plan, which includes a ceasefire and the release of hostages, but Israeli officials have stressed that the conflict cannot end until all hostages are freed. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has weighed in on the issue of sexual violence in the conflict, following a meeting with an Israeli woman who was raped by Hamas terrorists. Harris condemned the acts of sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7th, during their incursion into Israel. She also acknowledged allegations of sexual abuse by both sides, calling for accountability and a ceasefire that would bring an end to the hostilities and ensure the release of hostages. In other news, Hezbollah has claimed responsibility for launching a drone towards a military site near the border in the Galilee, marking the group's first such declaration in two days. This incident highlights the ongoing volatility along Israel's northern frontier, adding another layer of complexity to an already tense regional situation. Lastly, Prime Minister Netanyahu has announced that he will meet with the families of those who were killed in captivity in Gaza. This meeting comes amid criticism that Netanyahu has been slow to engage with these families, even as he has met with the relatives of hostages who have been rescued. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, and it is expected to address the concerns and grievances of the bereaved families. These developments paint a...
