Good morning. It's a warm morning in New York City. The forecast says you won't see humidity this low again until next week. And this is your indignity morning podcast. I'm your host, Tom Scocca. Taking a look at the day and the news. The Israeli military, as it moves in on Rafa, cut off the entry point through which aid flows from Egypt into Gaza and then sent tanks into Rafa. The New York Times reports that Israel said this was a limited operation. Ceasefire negotiations are supposed to be continuing, analysts say. The Times writes Israel's actions in Rafa could either ratchet up the pressure on Hamas to make a deal or sabotage the talks. That about covers it, doesn't it? Page one of the newspaper, the lead news column, is yesterday's events and all this. Israeli military orders 110,000 to leave Rafa. Fears of invasion rise Hamas claims to have accepted a proposal for a ceasefire. In the story, the Times concludes that whatever Hamas accepted yesterday did not match whatever Israel says it has accepted. After that. Back and forth, the story moves to the facts, as they are among them, that the evacuation zone Israel is proposing for the 110,000 people it wants to displace from Rafa, is effectively uninhabitable. A spokesperson for the UN, the Times writes, said that the area would not be able to safely accommodate all the civilians who have sheltered in Rafa, in part because parts of it are littered with unexploded bombs. Going there would also move them further from the entry points for desperately needed food, water, medicines and other supplies, which eight agencies have struggled to distribute around Gaza. They would basically be going back to oblivion, he said. The number two story on page one is four children heard in Gaza arrive in US among 100 evacuated for urgent treatment. One of those heartwarming stories that contains an incomprehensible amount of bleakness within it. A six year old boy who weighs about 25 pounds and is suffering from cystic fibrosis and severe malnourishment will be treated in Queens. I was going to calculate that he and the four others represented maybe one 100th of 1% of the wounded children in Gaza. But then I realized that he's not wounded, he just is starving and was cut off from proper medical care. So he'd be an even smaller fraction of a much, much larger number of people who have been intentionally made to suffer. And on the m left side of the page above the fold, Trump warned of jail again for his attacks. The headline has commas around the again, as well it should, as ah, this warning from the judge in his Manhattan criminal trial came in response to his 10th act of contempt across two separate incidents of violating his gag order against attacking the jury, the prosecutors, and the witnesses. The last thing I want to do is put you in jail, the judge said, speaking for apparently everyone who's ever been in a position to make Donald Trump ever face a consequence. On page a 17, Adams will travel to the Vatican for a private audience with Pope Francis, the Times reports. Congratulations to, New York Mayor Eric Adams for staying laser focused on his city. A careful reading of the story will reveal that the Vatican did not actually confirm that the pope has agreed to meet with Adams. Surely Eric Adams would never just make up an impressive sounding story. The story does weigh in on the important question of who is paying this time around for our mayor to continue his habit of trotting around the globe on other people's money. Mister Adams's office, the Times writes, said a foundation created by Pope Francis, the Fratelli Tutti foundation, would pay for his travels. Enjoy your trip. Keep an eye out for Interpol, and don't hurry back. That's the news. Thank you for listening. Please subscribe to indignity to keep us going, and if all goes well, we will talk again tomorrow.
