Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that occupying Gaza City could pose a serious threat to the lives of Israeli captives. Zamir urged Netanyahu to accept the current prisoner exchange deal that Hamas has already approved. This comes amid escalating pressure from the families of Israeli prisoners to proceed with a deal ensuring their release, while Netanyahu on Thursday instructed the immediate start of negotiations for their release alongside advancing the plan to occupy the remaining parts of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu’s recent comments suggest he wants the deal under new terms, while mediators still await his official response to a US proposal that Hamas has agreed to. The proposal largely matches terms […]

Ten Palestinians, including four journalists and a firefighter, were killed and several others wounded Monday in an Israeli strike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, according to Gaza health authorities and eyewitnesses, Anadolu reports. According to Anadolu correspondents, the Israeli military targeted the top floor of the emergency building, known as the “Al-Yassin” floor. Earlier, the Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement that eight people were killed and several others were injured in the attack. The ministry added that the Israeli military hit the fourth floor of one of the complex’s buildings in two airstrikes, noting that the second strike occurred as rescue teams arrived to evacuate the wounded and recover the dead.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Sunday that 9 out of 10 schools in the Gaza Strip, including its own, have been destroyed by Israeli shelling and need to be rebuilt to be usable. Human Rights Watch (HRW)had previously said that the Israeli army had bombed more than 500 schools housing displaced persons in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war in October 2023. The shelling has killed hundreds of Palestinians civilians, according to HRW, which emphasised that Israel had used US-made munitions to carry out the attacks. HRW described Israel’s targeting of schools housing displaced persons in the Gaza Strip as “unlawful” attacks, regardless of the justification. READ: ‘Besiege them, […]

The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fully responsible for the lives of Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip. This came after Netanyahu approved a plan to reoccupy Gaza following the movement’s announcement of accepting mediators’ proposal for a ceasefire- prisoner swap deal. “We agreed to a partial deal and expressed our readiness for a comprehensive deal, but Netanyahu rejects all solutions,” Hamas said in a statement on its official Telegram channel on Sunday. Hamas said Israeli and American admissions confirm that Netanyahu is the real obstructionist of the [prisoner] swap deals and ceasefire”. According to the statement, the recent statements by former US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller confirmed that Netanyahu had been stalling […]

In a single season, Mohamed Salah swept five major individual honours: the Premier League Golden Boot, Premier League Player of the Year, Liverpool’s Player of the Season, plus awards from both the players’ union and fan associations. Such a remarkable collection cemented him not only as an extraordinary talent, but also as one of the most decorated Arab and African footballers in European history. Yet despite his achievements, Salah has never been fully embraced by parts of the Western media. Bias and double standards remain stark: he is frequently overlooked in favour of European or South American players with far less impressive records. That neglect coincides with another uncomfortable truth — Salah himself often hesitates to speak up for the […]

Israeli far-right ministers openly advocated starving Gaza’s population during a Cabinet meeting, sparking a fierce confrontation with military chief Eyal Zamir over Israel’s ongoing war strategy, according to Israeli media reports on Sunday, Anadolu reports. The clash unfolded during late Saturday discussions on “Operation Gideon’s Chariots 2,” a planned large-scale offensive accompanied by mass evacuations in Gaza City. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanded harsher measures against Palestinians who remain. “We ordered you (to carry out) a quick operation. In my opinion, you can besiege them. Whoever doesn’t evacuate, don’t let them. No water, no electricity – let them die of hunger or surrender. This is what we want, and you’re capable (of doing it),” Channel 12 quoted him as saying.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will chair an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers in Saudi Arabia’s city of Jeddah on Monday to discuss the situation in Gaza, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said, Anadolu reports. Fidan will attend the meeting as Türkiye currently holds the rotating presidency of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers, according to a ministry statement. The OIC said the meeting will focus on the ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza and aims to coordinate member states’ positions and responses. Israel has killed over 62,600 Palestinians in a brutal onslaught on Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine. It’s time for Israel to […]

Hundreds of people in Greece’s northern city of Thessaloniki marched Sunday, Aug. 24, to protest Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza, Anadolu reports. Gathering at the city’s landmark White Tower Square at midday, protesters carried Palestinian flags and banners with pro-Palestine slogans. Speakers at the rally said Israel’s attacks in Gaza amounted to genocide, urging the international community, particularly the European Union, to end its inaction. Similar demonstrations are expected in several other cities, including the capital Athens, later in the day. Israel has killed more than 62,700 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and […]

On 23 August, Universitas Indonesia (UI), the nation’s oldest and most respected institution of higher learning, committed a profound mistake. At the orientation for its graduate program, UI handed the podium to Peter Berkowitz — a longtime defender of Israel’s occupation and its ongoing genocide in Gaza. Berkowitz is no neutral scholar. He has spent decades justifying Israel’s bombing campaigns, collective punishment, and illegal occupation of Palestinian land. He served as director of policy planning in Donald Trump’s State Department — a government that gave Israel carte blanche to escalate its violence. His writings, including a book defending Israel against international war crimes investigations, repeat one message over and over: Israel’s supposed right to kill with impunity. And yet, at […]

At least 62,686 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, as eight more people died of starvation in the enclave, the Health Ministry said on Sunday, Anadolu reports. A ministry statement said that 64 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 278 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 157,951 in the Israeli onslaught. “Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added. The ministry also noted that 19 Palestinians were killed and over 123 others injured by Israeli army fire while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the […]
