Latest Statement: “Protecting and Ensuring UNRWA’s Presence and Services is the Obligation of All States”

The Israeli Knesset passed two legislations that will result in the end of UNRWA’s existence and operations in Mandatory Palestine, including in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). Individually and collectively, UN member states have obligations to take every practical measure to protect UNRWA and ensure its ability to fulfill its mandate, now and until Palestinian refugees return.

Yesterday, the Israeli Knesset quickly and decisively passed two legislations that will result in the end of UNRWAs existence and operations in Mandatory Palestine, including in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt). These new laws are the most recent component of the Israeli regimes dismantlemen...

Beyond the Logic of Dehumanization – Those for Whom We Weep Will Win the War

People care and comfort one another in the most nightmarish conditions. They dig in the rubble for those buried alive. They rush to the bombed hospitals with the dying and injured in their hands, the remains of shredded victims in plastic bags. They bury their shrouded dead with the
utmost tenderness in mass graves. They love their land, amaze the world with their dignity, and will not forsake the land of their ancestors. Zionism is not dead, but it is certainly dying. The cost will be devastatingly high, high beyond measure, but those for whom we weep will win the war.

Over 50 children killed in Israeli attacks on Jabalia in northern Gaza in past 48 hours, says UNICEF from Quds News Network

UNICEF has condemned Israel’s “indiscriminate strikes on the Gaza Strip”, saying that more than 50 children have been killed in Israeli attacks on Jabalia in northern Gaza in the past 48 hours alone. These children have reportedly been killed in Jabalia, where strikes leveled two residential buildings sheltering hundreds of people.

UN Rapporteur Urges Suspension of Israel’s Membership
by Quds News Network

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese,
urged the UN General Assembly on Wednesday to consider suspending Israel’s membership due to its repeated violations of international law and its ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories. Speaking at a press conference, Albanese stressed that Israel’s impunity has enabled it to “become a serial violator of international law.” Albanese’s recommendations include suspending Israel’s credentials at the UN until it halts these violations and withdraws its occupation, which clearly unlawful. She emphasized that Israel’s formation came at a huge price for the Palestinians, a cost that remains unaddressed.

Israel has all but ended medical evacuations from Gaza

An increasing number of Palestinians in Gaza, including children, are dying as a result of Israel severely curtailing the number of medical evacuations it grants, according to the United Nations, international NGOs, the Palestinian ministry of health in Gaza, and grassroots aid groups. The UN estimates that some 14,000 patients, including 2,500 children, are currently in urgent need of medical evacuation. But over the past six months—since the Israeli military
invaded Rafah and seized control of the Gaza side of the Rafah border crossing on May 7—only 237 patients have been medically evacuated out of Gaza. At that rate, it would take over 29 years for everyone seeking treatment abroad to be allowed out.

Humanitarian Group Leaders Say Israel Causing ‘Apocalyptic’ Situation in Northern Gaza

The heads of 15 humanitarian organizations operating under the United Nations umbrella on Friday accused Israel of creating “apocalyptic” conditions in northern Gaza and
called on Israeli forces to stop attacking the Palestinian enclave and the aid workers trying to help its people. “The situation unfolding in North Gaza is apocalyptic. The area has been under siege for almost a month, denied basic aid and lifesaving supplies while bombardment and other attacks continue,” the 15 group heads wrote in an open letter. “Just in the past few days, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children, and thousands have once again been forcibly displaced.” The letter’s 15 signers include directors of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, a forum of United Nations and non-U.N. humanitarian partners, including the International Council of Volunteer Agencies.

Soon after joining Ireland’s Green Party in the 1990s, I attended a few discussions about the roots of ecological politics. I don’t recall contributing much to those discussions. I just sat and listened to activists who were more clever and better informed than I was.

One such activist noted that there had previously been a political organization expressing a strong attachment to nature: The N***s often talked about blood and soil. At the time, I didn’t want to believe that N***s could have influenced the international green movement in any way. The German Greens I had seen on television all appeared to be espousing a “make love not war” philosophy.

Today, the Greens’ Annalena Baerbock is foreign minister in the Berlin government. She talks about learning from her country’s past, while doing the opposite. Baerbock identifies the Holocaust as “the worst crime the world has ever seen.” To atone for it, she is enabling a holocaust in Gaza, the worst crime that the world has seen so far this century.

Annalena Baerbock is a key enabler of genocide.

30/10/2024

In the final few days before the 2024 presidential election in the United States, prominent agencies and officials with the United Nations are warning – again – of the horrors unfolding in Gaza.
They are describing the situation with what should be alarming language, perhaps even for a complicit Democratic administration funding the carnage. “The darkest moment of [the] Gaza conflict is unfolding”; the “entire population of north Gaza is at risk of dying”; “nowhere is safe in Gaza”; and this is “an attempt to erase Palestinians from history.”

Historian and analyst Assal Rad, who compiled these warnings, notes: “UN agencies are shouting from the rooftops about Israeli atrocities while the US ignores them.”

Israeli newspaper Haaretz asks if Israel has “begun implementing the program of siege and starvation advocated by Maj. Gen. (res.) Giora Eiland, often called ‘the Generals’ Plan.’”The editorial adds: “For cabinet members who view the war as a historic opportunity to return to the Gaza Strip, Eiland’s plan is the silver platter on which renewed Jewish settlement in the Strip will be served.”

“If we want it, we can renew settlements in Gaza,” says Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

For over two weeks, the Israeli military has been waging one of the most brutal and destructive campaigns of the war in northern Gaza. Mohammed Mhawish, Ola Al Asi and Ibrahim Mohammad spoke with Palestinians still there, who described apocalyptic scenes: limbs scattered on the streets, shelters set ablaze, incessant airstrikes, and hundreds trapped inside hospitals.

Oren Ziv reported from a closed military zone near Gaza, where on Monday, hundreds of Israeli settlers, ministers, and MKs gathered to call upon the government to ethnically cleanse and annex the Strip — an idea that is growing mainstream. Meanwhile, in the Palestinian village of At-Tuwani in the south Hebron Hills, activist Sami Huraini detailed the campaign of harassment he has faced from the Israel army for protesting the occupation, which has included arbitrary arrests, torture, and unjust legal trials.

For Gaza’s schoolchildren, makeshift schools in tent camps have been a critical lifeline over the past year, after Israel airstrikes destroyed 87 percent of school buildings in the Strip. But with winter approaching and Israel’s assaults intensifying, Ruwaida Amer and Ibtisam Mahdi ask, can these educational initiatives survive?

Awni Al-Mashni and I have spent years meeting with Israelis and Palestinians across the land to discuss visions for the future. Do we still have answers?

20/10/2024

Islamist terrorism may get a "further boost" from recent unrest in the Middle East, including the killing of the leader of Hamas, a former head of MI6 has warned. Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the 7 October attack, was killed by Israeli troops following a chance encounter this week, after years of being hunted. A former British intelligence chief said that his death along with anger around the unresolved "Palestinian question" and the violence people in Gaza see "every day" could fuel possible terror attacks beyond the Middle East.

Sir John Sawers, who led the Secret Intelligence Service in Britain for five years, told Sky News' Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips that with both Hamas and Hezbollah soon under new leaders, Islamist terror groups could turn their aim internationally, including to the UK. He also said that intelligence agencies, including his own former employee, should "be very much on their toes".

The world’s final glimpse of Hamas’ leader was rough and raw, showing him wounded and cornered as he sat in a bombed-out Palestinian home and faced down the Israeli drone filming him, hurling a stick at it.

For Israel, the scene was one of victory, showing Yahya Sinwar, the architect of Oct.7, broken and defeated. But many in the Arab and Muslim world — whether supporters of Hamas or not — saw something different in the grainy footage: a defiant martyr who died fighting to the end.

Clips from the released drone footage went viral on social media, accompanied by quotes from Sinwar's speeches in which he declared he would rather die on the battlefield. An oil painting of a masked Sinwar sitting proudly on an armchair was widely shared, apparently inspired by the last image of him alive.

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that Hamas was alive and would survive despite the death of its leader Yahya Sinwar in an Israeli military operation in Gaza.

Sinwar was the architect of the October 7, 2023 invasion and slaughter in southern Israel, when some 3,000 Hamas-led terrorists burst through the Gaza border and massacred some 1,200 people in their homes, communities and at a music festival, and abducted 251 to Gaza, where 97 are still held hostage from that day. He was killed by IDF troops in Gaza’s Rafah on Wednesday. “His loss is certainly painful for the resistance front” against Israel, “but it will not end at all with the martyrdom of Sinwar,” Khamenei said. “Hamas is alive and will remain alive,” he said in a statement.

'His loss is certainly painful,' says Khamenei, but resistance against Israel 'will not end at all'; says Sinwar left October 7 as 'his legacy in history'

Freedom of expression threatened more seriously in Gaza than in any recent conflict

Freedom of expression has been threatened more seriously in Gaza than in any recent conflict, with journalists targeted in the war-torn territory and Palestinian supporters targeted in many countries, a United Nations expert said Friday.

Irene Khan, the U.N. independent investigator on the right to freedom of opinion and expression, pointed to attacks on the media and the targeted killings and arbitrary detention of dozens of journalists in Gaza.

“The banning of Al Jazeera, the tightening of censorship within Israel and in the occupied territories, seem to indicate a strategy of the Israeli authorities to silence critical journalism and obstruct the documentation of possible international crimes,” she said.

335,500 Gaza Dead Ignored By Western Mainstream Media: Input To Special Rapporteur Report To Human Rights Council
by Dr Gideon Polya

I have made a detailed and documented Submission in response to the Call for input for the report of the Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory to the Human Rights Council 58thsession. My position is that a major contributor to the horrific and ongoing Palestinian Genocide and specifically the ongoing Gaza Genocide is lying by omission and lying by commission by Western Mainstream media. Genocide ignored yields
genocide repeated.

“The Biden administration sent a letter to Israeli leaders on Monday demanding Israel take steps within 30 days to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza or risk the supply of U.S. weapons to Israel being affected, according to a copy of the letter obtained by Axios…Israeli authorities closed crossings into Gaza earlier this month, halting deliveries of food and essential supplies to 400,000 Palestinians before some trucks were able to enter again on Monday…Countries that receive U.S. military aid and are in an active military conflict must allow the transfer of U.S.-supported humanitarian aid without interruption, according to U.S. law and a national security memorandum signed by President Biden in February. Failure to do so could lead to the suspension of U.S. military aid…The letter sent Monday from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and Minister of Defense Yoav Galant signals the Biden administration doesn't think Israel is implementing its commitments. The letter was the most wide-ranging and comprehensive list of U.S. demands from Israel since the beginning of the war.”

The Biden administration told Israel to take steps within 30 days to improve the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

Al Jazeera cameraman Fadi al-Wahidi has fallen into a coma after his condition worsened following a gunshot wound inflicted by Israeli forces in the Jabalia refugee camp on October 9.
Israeli authorities have denied permission for al-Wahidi and fellow Al Jazeera photographer Ali latter to leave Gaza for medical treatment, despite calls from three media freedom organizations.

The Committee to Protect Journalists stated that they have not received a response from Israeli officials regarding the request for their medical evacuation. The doctor treating al-Wahidi confirmed that he had multiple surgeries, but medical staff were unable to prevent his paralysis. In a statement, Al Jazeera condemned the targeting of its journalists and called on the international community to “take immediate action” to protect media workers and civilians in the Gaza Strip. They also urged holding the Israeli army accountable for its “repeated crimes against journalists.”

16/10/2024

“In accordance with US law and policy, including National Security Memorandum 20 (NSM-20), the departments of state and defense must continually assess your government’s adherence to your March 2024 assurances that Israel would ‘facilitate and not arbitrarily deny, restrict or otherwise impede, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance and US government supported international efforts to provide humanitarian assistance’ to and within Gaza,” the letter stated.

The highly anticipated NSM-20 report was released back in May and largely avoided making legal determinations on potential Israeli violations of international law. Instead, it said Israel’s assurances about facilitating humanitarian aid were “credible and reliable” and that there were no grounds for suspending US weapons shipments.

The report also cited no violations of Section 620l of the Foreign Assistance Act, which prohibits US military support to governments that withhold humanitarian aid.

The secretaries of state and defence told their Israeli counterparts to act within 30 days or risk losing some military support
