On Wednesday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas agreed to resume negotiations with Israel. The New York Times reports he did so only after coming under heavy pressure from the White House. Meanwhile, Palestinians gathered in northern Gaza to mourn the death of a month-old infant who was shot dead by Israeli troops on Tuesday. The infant’s father described what happened.

Palestinian Father: “They said, 'Raise your hands and come out,' so we had our hands up. They shot the girl and shot her mother. Her mother has two bullets in her shoulder. The dumdum bullets, they explode. Her bones are all shattered.”
