The head of Israel’s internal security service says he will resign in June over the failure of his agency to warn of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. It defuses an escalating battle with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar announced his resignation Monday night, saying he will formally step down June 15. Netanyahu moved to fire Bar last month over what he said was a crisis of confidence surrounding Hamas’ attacks. But the step sparked an uproar in Israel because the agency is investigating ties between the Israeli leader’s office and Qatar — a key mediator between Hamas and Israel over the war in Gaza.

Hospitals in the Gaza Strip have received the remains of 51 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in the last 24 hours. Gaza's Health Ministry said Sunday that the overall Palestinian death toll from the 18-month-old Israel-Hamas war has reached 52,243. Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas by launching a surprise bombardment on March 18. It has been carrying out daily waves of strikes. Israel has also sealed off the territory’s 2 million Palestinians from all imports, including food and medicine, for nearly 60 days. Aid groups say supplies will soon run out and that thousands of children are malnourished.
