  "summary": "Historian Raz Segal has reached a $250,000 settlement with the University of Minnesota. According to Haaretz, Segal's job offer to head the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies was rescinded due to pressure from donors. Segal stated that donors are dividing Jews into \"good\" and \"bad\" Jews, with the latter being those who criticize Israel.\n\nThe reports also mention the ongoing situation in Gaza. The New Straits Times reported that, according to health authorities, the death toll in Gaza has risen to 73,386, with 174,250 others injured, since October 7, 2023.\n\nAdditionally, there are reports of tensions and protests related to the situation in Gaza. The Jerusalem Post stated that the Foreign Ministry issued a heightened caution advisory for Israelis in Greece due to expected demonstrations and rallies against the backdrop of the war in Gaza.",
