Naim Qassem, the Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, firmly rejected calls for disarmament on Monday, criticising the Lebanese government for yielding to pressure from the US and Israel. Qassem described the government’s intent to disarm Hezbollah while Israel continues its aggression against Lebanon as a “sinful” decision that contradicts the principles enshrined in the Lebanese state charter. “To disarm us is to strip us of our very essence; you would then witness our true strength,” said Qassam.  He questioned the rationale behind asking Hezbollah to relinquish its arms after the sacrifices made by over 5,000 fighters and senior commanders. Qassem emphasised that Hezbollah will not abandon its weapons nor permit Israel to act freely against resistance fighters. He cautioned […]

The Israeli army claimed on Monday that the military reinforcements Egypt is sending to North Sinai near the Gaza border “are being coordinated with the Israeli army and the political leadership, in line with the military annex of the peace agreement between the two countries.” According to the Israeli public broadcaster Kan 11, the statement came amid reports of large Egyptian troop build-ups in the border area close to Gaza, driven by Cairo’s fears of a mass influx of Palestinians into Egyptian territory. The channel reported that the reinforcements amount to around 40,000 Egyptian soldiers, along with the deployment of armoured vehicles in North Sinai. This coincides with Israel’s preparations for launching “Gideon Chariots 2”, an operation aimed at occupying […]

The Israeli occupation forces invaded on Sunday the city of Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank, and raided homes and searched them. Local sources reported that the occupation forces, accompanied by special units, invaded the city of Bethlehem and some of its suburbs through the southern entrance to the town of Al-Khader. Some forces were stationed near the Phoenix Hall, adjacent to the Deheishe refugee camp to the south. During the invasion, the Israeli occupation forces arrested the freed prisoner, Ayas Bassam Al-Farahin, from inside his father’s printing press. The soldiers assaulted Ayas and confiscated the surveillance camera recordings installed on the printing press’s facade and a laptop. The Israeli occupation forces also fired tear gas and sound bombs, […]

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Sunday disputes between Tehran and Washington are “insoluble,” vowing that Iran “will not succumb” to the US, Anadolu agency reported. “Enemies have failed to weaken Iran through war,” Khamenei said in statements carried by state media. He said there were “attempts to create division inside Iran,” without specifying the nature of these attempts or who was behind them. Responding to President Donald Trump’s calls for Iran to “surrender,” Khamenei said the Iranian people “are deeply offended by such a great insult and will stand with all its strength against those who harbour such a false expectation.” Trump had urged Tehran in June to agree to “unconditional surrender” to US demands, according to media reports.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa confirmed that advanced talks are under way on a security agreement between Syria and Israel, noting that it is based on the 1974 ceasefire line. He stressed that he would not hesitate to take any decision or agreement that serves the interests of Syria and the region. According to Israel’s Channel 12, the two sides are close to finalising a deal, which is expected to be concluded by the end of September with Washington’s mediation and the sponsorship of Gulf states. However, al-Sharaa also said he does not consider the current circumstances suitable for a peace treaty with Israel. He added that if he finds that such an agreement would serve the interests of Syria and […]

The Government Media Office in Gaza has said that displacement to the southern governorates is almost impossible, as they cannot absorb 1.3 million people forcibly displaced from Gaza City. In a statement, the office warned: “With the Israeli occupation threatening to invade Gaza City, we caution against the worsening humanitarian disaster experienced by more than 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.” The office added: “Since the occupation announced that it would allow the entry of tents and shelter supplies, only around 10,000 tents have actually entered Gaza. This represents just 4 per cent of the urgent need for 250,000 tents and caravans, highlighting the manipulation and deliberate delays in meeting essential humanitarian requirements.” It pointed out that the deficit […]

Israel war of genocide is not about 7 October; it is not about freeing Israeli captives. It is, first and foremost, about preserving a racist Jewish governing coalition and seizing a historic opportunity while a submissive administration in Washington looks the other way. The aim is to advance a biblical expansionist project and create the conditions for “self” ethnic cleansing, as part of the permanent erasure of the Palestinian people from their homeland. As the UN officially declared a famine in Gaza City, Israel rejected  the ceasefire and threatened to flatten Gaza City “like Beit Hanoun.” On 11 July, Israeli Minister of War Israel Katz openly flaunted an aerial image of the razed cities of Rafah in the south and […]

On 29 January 2023, the world heard the haunting final call of six-year-old Hind Rajab before she was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. Trapped in a car surrounded by the bodies of her relatives, Hind pleaded for help as an Israeli tank loomed nearby. Hours later, the two paramedics who had secured permission to rescue her, Yousef Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhoun, were themselves killed when their ambulance was bombed. Hind Rajab was not just another casualty of war. She is Gaza’s Anne Frank — a child whose final moments testify to the brutality of our age. Just as Anne’s diary bore witness to Nazi persecution, Hind’s voice, cut short, records the atrocities committed under the banner of Zionism. Today, Israel’s actions in Gaza […]

Irish President Michael Higgins has called for the formation of a United Nations force to guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. In a press interview on Saturday with Ireland’s public broadcaster RTE, Higgins stressed the need to activate Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which allows the Secretary-General, with the approval of a certain number of General Assembly members, to establish such a force to secure aid access, even if the UN Security Council blocks it with a veto. He described what he called Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza as “a tragic period” in the world’s history.” “We are in an extraordinary moment where you have three members of the Israeli cabinet who are interested explicitly in illegality, […]
