Hamas responded Thursday to escalating public protests in Gaza by insisting that the demonstrations are directed against Israel and the ongoing war, rather than the terrorist group’s rule over the territory. The response came amid rare, large-scale protests this week, with thousands of Gazans taking to the streets, openly chanting for an end to Hamas’s nearly two-decade control. Senior Hamas official Basem Naim downplayed reports that the protests were aimed at the group, telling Qatari news channel Al-Araby that demonstrators were primarily expressing frustration over “war and destruction.” He claimed that outside forces were attempting to manipulate the unrest to serve Israel’s interests.

​National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has appealed to the Supreme Court to step in regarding the Shin Bet’s investigation involving him and the police, urging that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara be compelled to release all pertinent documents related to the matter.​

U.S. applications for unemployment benefits held steady last week, a sign that the labor market remains healthy as companies continue to retain their employees. Jobless claim filings ticked down by 1,000 to 224,000 for the week ending March 22, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s mostly in line with the 225,000 new applications analysts forecast. Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered a proxy for layoffs, and have remained mostly in a range between 200,000 and 250,000 for the past few years. It remains unclear when job cuts ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency, or “DOGE,” will show up in the weekly layoffs report, though the Labor Department’s February jobs report showed that the federal government shed 10,000 jobs.
