- [Sweden: Reports of Israel mistreating climate activist Thunberg would be very serious if true](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/sweden-reports-of-israel-mistreating-climate-activist-thunberg-would-be-very-serious-if-true/):  Sweden’s Foreign Minister, Maria Malmer Stenergard, said on Sunday that if reports of Israel mistreating Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg following her detention from the Gaza Aid Flotilla are true, the situation would be “very serious.” In an interview with the Swedish news agency TT, Stenergard referred to reports claiming that Thunberg was mistreated following her detention by Israeli authorities. Commenting on the reports, she said: “I have taken note of the reports of allegations of abusive treatment. If the reports are true, this is very serious.”  The Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the embassy are working to bring the Swedish citizens home as soon as possible,” she added. The Foreign Minister also confirmed that, even before the detention, Sweden […]
- [Islamophobia is the new global currency of power](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/islamophobia-is-the-new-global-currency-of-power/):  There is no more honest way to describe the world we live in than this: Islamophobia has become the new global currency of power. It is traded in the speeches of politicians, exchanged in the deals of diplomats, printed in the pages of media, and laundered through the language of security and counterterrorism. It buys impunity for genocide, secures legitimacy for authoritarian leaders, and bankrolls new markets of surveillance and control. The Gaza genocide has torn away whatever illusions were left: the blood of Muslims is not just cheap; it is expendable capital in the economy of global powers. Look at Gaza. For nearly two years now, the world has witnessed the systematic destruction of a besieged people — homes […]
- [Do Rothschild ties explain Prabowo’s cautious tone on Israel?](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/do-rothschild-ties-explain-prabowos-cautious-tone-on-israel/):  In late September, a billboard in Israel set off a storm of speculation in Jakarta. The giant display, featuring President Prabowo Subianto alongside Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Mohammed bin Zayed, and other Middle Eastern leaders, proclaimed support for a regional peace plan. To Indonesian audiences, the image was jarring. Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population, has long stood firmly with the Palestinian cause and has never recognised Israel. Yet here was Prabowo—less than a year into his presidency—flanked by leaders openly aligned with Zionist interests. Indonesian officials were quick to insist that the billboard was not a sign of shifting policy. The Foreign Ministry reiterated that Indonesia’s long-standing position remains unchanged: recognition of Israel will come only if […]
- [Rubio: No prisoner exchange in Gaza while bombs going off, fighting going on](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/rubio-no-prisoner-exchange-in-gaza-while-bombs-going-off-fighting-going-on/):  US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas cannot take place while fighting and airstrikes continue in the Gaza Strip. He renewed his call for Tel Aviv to stop its bombing campaign. His remarks came as Israel continues what has been described as a genocidal war in Gaza, launching daily attacks that cause deaths and injuries, despite US President Donald Trump’s call on Friday evening to halt the bombardment immediately. In an interview with the American network NBC News, Rubio noted that it was clear from a statement issued by the Palestinian movement on Friday that “Hamas has agreed to they have agreed to the president’s hostage release framework.”  He added […]
- [Europe’s Red Sea Challenge: Can Cyprus lead?](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/europes-red-sea-challenge-can-cyprus-lead/):  As Cyprus prepares to assume the rotating EU presidency in January 2026, it does so at a time when Europe faces one of its most pressing maritime challenges in decades. The Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have disrupted global shipping, rerouted energy supplies, and exposed the vulnerabilities of European trade routes that pass through the Bab el-Mandeb and Suez. In parallel to US-UK interventions, the EU has stepped in with a defensive naval mission, yet a number of challenges remain. Cyprus’ geography and connectivity in the Eastern Mediterranean gives the next EU presidency a unique vantage point — and an opportunity to shape Europe’s response at a moment of mounting geopolitical strain, but only if managed properly. As highlighted […]
- [Israel’s embrace of Tommy Robinson deepens rift with British Jewry](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israels-embrace-of-tommy-robinson-deepens-rift-with-british-jewry/):  Israel has “made the crisis for Britain’s Jews even worse,” said journalist Melanie Phillips, reacting to the Israeli government’s decision to invite far-right activist Tommy Robinson to visit the country. The move has triggered a bitter row between Israel and Jewish community leaders in the UK who view Robinson as a far-right agitator. Phillips, a long-time defender of Israel, said the invitation by Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli amounted to “a very stupid and dangerous mistake,” accusing Israel’s government of “handing an unexpected weapon to the enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in Britain.” Her remarks came after Chikli announced that Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, would be hosted in Israel this month “as a courageous leader […]
- [UK rights organisation files legal complaint, demands dismissal of Metropolitan Police Commissioner](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/uk-rights-organisation-files-legal-complaint-demands-dismissal-of-metropolitan-police-commissioner/):  Legal Action for Peace, a UK organisation of lawyers and human rights advocates which challenges anti-Muslim hatred and anti-Arab discrimination, has filed a formal complaint with the Mayor of London demanding an inquiry into the Metropolitan Police Service’s failure to use their powers to restrict Tommy Robinson using his ‘Unite the Kingdom’ protest to incite violence against the Muslim Community.  In a press statement issued on 6th October the organisation said the Metropolitan Police’s failure is followed by the recent damning BBC Panorama investigation which exposed police officers displaying horrific racist beliefs and perpetuating physical violence against members of the public.  The complaint states that recent events confirm the Metropolitan Police remains institutionally racist under the leadership of its Commissioner […]
- [One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/one-day-everyone-will-have-been-against-this/):  Omar El Akkad’s book forces us to look at the savagery of Western imperialism through Israel’s genocide in Gaza. One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This (Canongate books, 2025) spells a moment of reckoning for the entire world, of the magnitude of atrocities worldwide culminating in a genocide on blockaded territory, of those killed, tortured, disappeared, buried under rubble, those surviving, and elsewhere in the world, those deciding the violence, the passive spectators, the enablers, and those who resist. The sharp contrasts that open this book set the scene for the anger that pours forth, as El Akkad exposes not only the politics of the genocide in Gaza, but the politics of Western imperialism and its snare on humanity.

- [UK police accused of excessive force at protests over Israeli attack on Gaza aid flotilla](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/uk-police-accused-of-excessive-force-at-protests-over-israeli-attack-on-gaza-aid-flotilla/):  The UK Metropolitan Police has been accused of using excessive force against protesters standing in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. Tens of thousands of people marched in the capital and other UK cities o last week to protest against the illegal Israeli interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla boats and to demand the release of the detained activists. In central London, demonstrators walked from Parliament Square to Downing Street, and roads were blocked between Parliament Square and Charing Cross, where several police vans were stationed. Officers have reportedly made 40 arrests as crowds chanted: “Over a hundred thousand deaths, you’re arresting us instead.” Watch: Israel’s drone strike on Gaza Flotilla: MEMO in conversation with Ann Wright The flotilla, made […]

Thunberg was among 171 people deported by Israeli authorities… pic.twitter.com/nVCnMBbehx — Middle East Monitor (@MiddleEastMnt) October 6, 2025 Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Monday spoke publicly for the first time after being released from an Israeli prison, where she said she was beaten and forced to kiss the Israeli flag, Anadolu reports. Thunberg was among 171 people deported by Israeli authorities after being detained for taking part in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. The group was flown to Greece and Slovakia following their release. There […]
- [Hezbollah Backs Hamas on Trump’s Ceasefire Proposal](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/hezbollah-backs-hamas-on-trumps-ceasefire-proposal/):  Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced Sunday its support for Hamas’s stance on the U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed ceasefire plan, which the group said was coordinated with other Palestinian resistance factions. In a statement, Hezbollah said Hamas’s rejection of compromise reflected both a commitment to halting Israel’s “brutal aggression” in Gaza and a firm adherence to Palestinian national rights. The group emphasized that Hamas’s position, aligned with other Palestinian factions, underscores unity among Palestinians and sets legitimate national rights as the framework for any negotiations. Such talks, Hezbollah said, must secure a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, prevent the displacement of its population, and allow Palestinians to govern their own political, security, and economic affairs free of outside interference. Hezbollah urged Arab […]
- [Israel kills more than 90 Palestinians over 2 days despite international calls for ceasefire](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israel-kills-more-than-90-palestinians-over-2-days-despite-international-calls-for-ceasefire/):  Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip have killed more than 90 Palestinians over the past two days, despite international calls for a ceasefire, local authorities said Sunday, Anadolu reports. Israeli forces carried out 131 air and artillery strikes on densely populated areas of civilians and displaced people in Gaza, killing 94 civilians, including women and children, with 61 of the victims in Gaza City, Gaza’s Government Media Office said in a statement on Telegram. “This ongoing crime falls within the framework of the continuous genocide against our Palestinian people and confirms that the occupation disregards all international calls for de-escalation, insisting on continuing the systematic killing of civilians and the destruction of the means of life in the Gaza Strip,” […]
- [Al-Azhar University levelled in Gaza amid intensified Israeli strikes](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/al-azhar-university-levelled-in-gaza-amid-intensified-israeli-strikes/):  Israeli airstrikes on Sunday levelled Al-Azhar University in Gaza City as part of a wave of attacks across the besieged enclave, according to Palestinian sources. The strikes left several civilians injured and caused extensive damage to homes and infrastructure. The Palestinian News Agency, citing local sources, reported that Israeli aircraft also targeted tents sheltering displaced people near Asdaa city, north of Khan Yunis, wounding multiple civilians. Elsewhere, Israeli artillery shelled crowds waiting for humanitarian aid east of Wadi Gaza, while air raids pounded the Al-Sabra, Al-Jalaa, and Al-Thalathini neighbourhoods around Tayaran Junction, striking residential buildings and damaging nearby homes. In central Gaza, Israeli aircraft hit the Maghazi refugee camp, leaving injuries and further destruction to civilian property. The bombing of […]
- [Israeli report warns of isolation, financial deficit if Trump’s Gaza Plan fails](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israeli-report-warns-of-isolation-financial-deficit-if-trumps-gaza-plan-fails/):  An Israeli economic study has warned of severe repercussions for the country’s economy if the US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan is not implemented and the war in Gaza continues. The report, published by the Aharon Institute for Economic Policy at Reichman University and cited by the business daily Calcalist, outlined three possible scenarios. It warned that a full occupation of Gaza would result in “international isolation, a massive financial deficit, and a sharp decline in living standards.” Continuing “hostilities” without a settlement, it added, would also exact a heavy economic toll. According to the study, only the implementation of Trump’s 21-point plan could put Israel “back on the right path” by halting the fighting and stabilising the economy. The […]
- [Rights Group: Israel detains Gaza nurse in Ashkelon Prison, blocks lawyer access](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/rights-group-israel-detains-gaza-nurse-in-ashkelon-prison-blocks-lawyer-access/):  The Addameer Association for Human Rights said Sunday that the Israeli authorities are holding 23-year-old nurse Tasneem Marwan Shafiq Al-Hums in Ashkelon Prison after her detention last week in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Addameer said it had received power of attorney from Al-Hums’s family to pursue her case, but Israeli authorities have barred her from meeting her lawyer until 16 October. Alaa Al-Skafi, director of the rights group, said Al-Hums appeared before Beersheba Court on Sunday, which extended her detention by 45 days. The organisation voiced concern over what it described as “kidnapping crimes” by armed groups operating with the support of Israeli forces in Gaza, citing Al-Hums’s detention as the latest case.

- [Greta Thunberg ‘forced to hold’ Israeli flags while in custody: Report](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/greta-thunberg-forced-to-hold-israeli-flags-while-in-custody-report/):  Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg was reportedly forced to hold Israeli flags while being photographed in custody after her detention during an aid flotilla to Gaza, according to Swedish diplomatic correspondence seen by The Guardian, Anadolu reports. An email sent by the Swedish Foreign Ministry to individuals close to Thunberg, viewed by the British daily, said a Swedish embassy official who met the activist in prison reported that she had described “harsh treatment” and inadequate access to food and water. “Another detainee reportedly told another embassy that they had seen her being forced to hold flags while pictures were taken. She wondered whether images of her had been distributed,” the Swedish ministry official said, according to the correspondence. Thunberg, who […]
- [Israel approves new plan to seize 9 acres of land in northern West Bank](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israel-approves-new-plan-to-seize-9-acres-of-land-in-northern-west-bank/):  Israel on Sunday approved a new settlement plan to seize 35 dunams (9 acres) of land from the Palestinian village of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, a local official said, Anadolu reports. Munif Nazzal, who monitors settlement building at the Palestinian Authority’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, told the official news agency Wafa the plan envisions the construction of 58 new settler units at the Mitzpe Yeshai settlement, which is built on the village’s land. The UN affirms that Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under international law and undermine the possibility of implementing a two-state solution. In early September, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced plans to annex 82% of the […]
- [Kushner’s mirage: The “Gaza Riviera” and the theft of a homeland](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/kushners-mirage-the-gaza-riviera-and-the-theft-of-a-homeland/):  Jared Kushner, the boy Prince of the Empire, has often been dismissed as an over-promoted son-in-law: a real estate heir, a political novice, and a “deal maker” with no grasp of history. Yet to trivialise him as a “know-nothing” is to miss the larger danger he embodies. Kushner’s role in shaping US and Israeli policy toward Palestine and the broader Arab world is not accidental. It reflects a deeper logic of imperialism’s new face—outsourcing conquest to private interests and unelected power brokers. He is not a rogue actor but a conduit for a system that merges corporate real estate logic with state power to seize land, suppress peoples, and re-engineer the region’s political future. Kushner’s so-called “Deal of the Century” […]
- [2 years of genocide: Gaza aid workers face hunger, death alongside those they help](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/2-years-of-genocide-gaza-aid-workers-face-hunger-death-alongside-those-they-help/):  A “perfect humanitarian storm” – that is how the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) describes Gaza, where aid workers endure the same hunger and fear as those they try to help, Anadolu reports. The warning comes as Israel’s war nears its third year, following what aid agencies describe as the deadliest year on record for humanitarian workers – and 2025 is already following the same trajectory. “Last year was the deadliest year on record for colleagues killed from different organizations – we’re talking about hundreds,” IFRC spokesperson Tommaso Della Longa told Anadolu. “The vast majority, sadly, are from Gaza, the West Bank and Sudan. And 2025 is already following the same trend.” At least 265 […]

A ministry statement said that 65 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 153 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 169,583 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. It also noted that two Palestinians were killed and 30 others injured by Israeli army fire while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 2,605, with over […]
- [CNN host Van Jones apologises for remarks on dead Gazan children](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/cnn-host-van-jones-apologises-for-remarks-on-dead-gazan-children/):  CNN political commentator Van Jones on Sunday apologised for remarks he made on HBO’s Overtime with Bill Maher after drawing backlash for appearing to joke about images of dead children in Gaza, Anadolu reports. On the program, Jones argued that younger audiences view Israel differently because of what he described as a “massive disinformation campaign” run by Iran and Qatar on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. “If you are a young person, you open up your phone and all you see is dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby, dead Gaza baby … That’s basically your own feed,” he said during the show. Omar Suleiman, a prominent Muslim American scholar and activist, called the remarks “truly disgraceful and vile” in […]
- [Iran says Cairo agreement for cooperation with IAEA ‘no longer valid’ after sanctions reimposed](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/iran-says-cairo-agreement-for-cooperation-with-iaea-no-longer-valid-after-sanctions-reimposed/):  Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday that a Cairo agreement for cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog “is no longer valid” after the imposition of snapback sanctions by Western countries, Anadolu reports. “The three European countries thought they could achieve results through the snapback mechanism, but that tool was ineffective and only made diplomacy more complicated,” the state news agency IRNA quoted Araghchi as saying after meeting foreign ambassadors and diplomats accredited to Tehran. The UN reimposed sanctions on Iran last week for the first time in a decade after they were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal. It came after European signatories of the deal – the UK, France, and Germany – triggered the snapback mechanism under UN […]
- [The olive harvest season in the West Bank: Roots of resilience in the face of Uprooting](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/the-olive-harvest-season-in-the-west-bank-roots-of-resilience-in-the-face-of-uprooting/):  With the arrival of autumn in Palestine, the olive harvest returns as an annual event that transcends its purely agricultural nature. It is a celebration of land and identity, a deeply rooted social and economic ritual, and at the same time, a continuous struggle waged by Palestinians against occupation policies that target both trees and people alike. The olive tree is one of the most powerful symbols of the Palestinian people’s relationship with their land and history. It is not merely a fruit-bearing tree but a living witness to the deep roots that have bound Palestinians to their land for thousands of years. Over time, the olive tree has become a symbol of peace, steadfastness, and resilience in the face […]

- [A US general, British PM, Netanyahu, and the paradox of war crimes](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/a-us-general-british-pm-netanyahu-and-the-paradox-of-war-crimes/):  In 1945, US General Curtis LeMay offered a rare moment of candor. As his bombers incinerated Japanese cities, he told his crews, “If we lose, we’d all be tried as war criminals.” It was not a confession. It was a calculation. LeMay understood what most prefer to forget: in war, morality is not universal—it’s a privilege of the victor. This concept is what some have called “logical insanity”—a paradox so absurd it could have been lifted from the pages of Catch-22. The reasoning was simple and terrifying: since war was killing thousands daily, the fastest way to end it was to be as brutal as possible. Save American lives by incinerating Japanese civilians. The same LeMay who orchestrated the Tokyo […]
- [Hamas negotiator appears in public after failed Israeli assassination attempt in Doha](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/hamas-negotiator-appears-in-public-after-failed-israeli-assassination-attempt-in-doha/):  Khalil al-Hayya, the head of Hamas’ negotiating delegation, appeared in public for the first time Sunday following a failed Israeli assassination attempt in Doha, saying that the ongoing killing and destruction in Gaza overshadow the personal pain of losing his children, Anadolu reports. A short video released by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas showed Hayya addressing the public, saying: “What I see every day of killing and destruction in Gaza makes me forget the pain of losing my children and loved ones.” The assassination attempt occurred on Sept. 9 when the Israeli military launched an airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar’s capital. Hamas reported that its negotiating delegation, led by Hayya, survived the attack, but his office director Jihad Labad, […]

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a network of international civil society groups, has organised […]

The Syrian news agency SANA reported that accredited electoral centers across the provinces opened their doors to begin the voting process and receive members of the electoral bodies to cast their ballots, marking the start of the first parliamentary election process in Syria. Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa received the final draft of the temporary electoral law for the parliament in late July and approved it with a decree on Aug. 27. The decree laid down the conditions for the electoral process, eligibility for membership in the People’s Assembly and associated committees, and voting procedures. The Assembly has 210 […]

Medical sources and eyewitnesses told Anadolu that the Israeli army targeted residential buildings and tents housing displaced families across various parts of the enclave, which has been facing a two-year-long campaign of extermination. The attacks came as US President Donald Trump stated Friday that he believes Hamas is “ready for lasting peace” and called on Israel to halt the bombing of Gaza immediately to facilitate the release of Israeli prisoners. Four Palestinians were killed while waiting for aid near the US-Israeli distribution hub in the Shakoush area northwest of Rafah. Since May 27, Israel […]

Trump on Friday said he believed Hamas was “ready for lasting peace” and urged Israel to “immediately stop bombing Gaza” in order to secure the release its captives. Hamas announced its willingness to release all Israeli captives, alive and dead, and to hand over Gaza’s administration to an independent Palestinian authority composed of technocrats. […]

Gathered at Trafalgar Square, demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and signs while chanting pro-Palestine slogans.

Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla on Thursday and detained more than 470 activists from over 50 countries. The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave. In a statement, the team said, “the court sessions resumed on Saturday for 200 additional activists whose hearings were postponed.” It added that “because Saturday is considered a weekend and a holy day in Israel, proceedings are proceeding slowly and are expected to continue Sunday.” On Friday, seven judges […]

Instead, 461 people — including New Yorkers — have been detained by the Israeli military,” Zohran Mamdani said on the US social media company X. Intentional starvation of Palestinians must halt, he added. If Mamdani wins the election on Nov. 4, he will become New York’s first Muslim and South Asian mayor. The Global Sumud Flotilla, en route to break the Israeli blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, approached Gaza waters […]

In an urgent letter addressed to the Council’s President and members, the organisations stated that the attacks on 2 and 3 October 2025, targeted vessels carrying more than 500 volunteers and activists from 40 countries. The ships were transporting medicine and humanitarian supplies for civilians and children under siege in Gaza. […]

Birawi says that his name has been cited in defamatory reports issued by Israeli ministries, notably on 30 September. “I state unequivocally: the allegations of terrorism levelled against me are false, fabricated, and politically motivated. They form part of a systematic strategy to criminalise peaceful solidarity work, intimidate international activists, and manufacture consent for Israel’s ongoing acts of piracy, including the kidnapping of hundreds of human rights defenders sailing to […]

Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off,” Trump said on Truth Social. His remarks came a day after Hamas announced its willingness to release all Israeli captives, alive and dead, and to hand over Gaza’s administration to an independent Palestinian authority composed of technocrats. However, it stressed that the enclave’s future and Palestinian rights must be addressed within a broader national Palestinian framework. “I will not […]

Trump said on Friday that Hamas must accept the deal by 6 pm Eastern Time (2200GMT) on Sunday, saying that if it is not consented to by then, “all hell, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.” “As retribution for the October 7th (2023) attack on civilization, more than 25,000 Hamas ‘soldiers’ have already been killed. Most of the rest are surrounded and militarily trapped, just waiting for me to give the word, ‘go,’ for their lives to be quickly extinguished,” Trump wrote on […]

In Gaza, should we not do the same? Well, we believe we should,” Diaz added. She also demanded the immediate release of Spanish citizens detained by Israel following its attack on the Gaza-bound Global […]

The survey also revealed that a majority of Germans support recognizing Palestine as an independent state, despite Berlin’s current reluctance to do so. According to the findings, 55% of Germans favor formal recognition of Palestine, while only 20% oppose […]

JUST understands the difficult situation Prime Minister Anwar is in. Trump as the current US president, together with some other world leaders, has been invited by ASEAN, not Malaysia, to the Summit. Malaysia is chairing the Summit which is why the Prime Minister of Malaysia is playing the role he has to play. Nonetheless, president Trump has been so deeply immersed in the on-going genocide of the Palestinian people that any positive gesture […]

According to an IOM statement, heavy flooding struck the Shaqilab and Taiba areas on Wednesday, submerging around 100 houses, partially damaging 40 more, and destroying 10. Displaced families have since sought shelter with relatives and neighbours in nearby communities. The floods followed two days of rising Nile waters, fuelled by the White Nile from Lake Victoria and the Blue Nile from the Ethiopian Highlands. Sudan’s rainy season, which typically lasts from June to October, often brings destructive floods across the country. The latest inundation comes amid renewed debate over the possible impact […]

In a written statement to Anadolu Agency, Thamin Al-Khitan, spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said “Israel’s intervention against unarmed civilian vessels heading to Gaza, in international waters, deepens the illegal blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip.” He stressed that, as the occupying power, Israel is obligated under international law to ensure the delivery of food and medical supplies to Gaza’s population. Al-Khitan also cited the International Court of Justice’s January 2024 order, which requires Israel to accept and facilitate impartial humanitarian programs “promptly and without hindrance.” The spokesperson […]

The correspondence, uncovered by Drop Site News, documents Ellison coordinating with then-Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor to assess Rubio’s pro-Israel credentials during his 2016 presidential run. The emails form part of a wider cache of diplomatic and private correspondence, now verified in part by investigative outlet Drop Site, illustrating the fusion of pro-Israel lobbying, media consolidation and tech infrastructure under Ellison, a long time donor to the Israeli military and a staunch supporter of the apartheid […]

The Year It Should Have Been Freedom, an event hosted by Skin Deep Mag and Haymarket Books with support from the Freedom For Alaa campaign, Books Against Borders, CAGE International, BLM UK, and Abolitionist Futures, brought together voices including Omar Robert Hamilton – […]

One of these detectives, Musa Kus, was sentenced to 19 years in prison for spying activities. Dip provided detectives with personal data from public records for financial gain and sold the information he accessed through a panel he had created […]

According to the report, the suit, filed on behalf of roughly 100 Israeli plaintiffs, including survivors of the attack, the estates of those killed, and at least one hostage, alleged that the UNRWA allowed Palestinian resistance group Hamas to divert funds for its own use. The Trump administration argued in April that the UN agency […]

The experts stressed that Germany should abandon its “Staatsraison” (reason of state) doctrine and instead base its Middle East policy on international law, the German constitution, and a broader understanding of historical responsibility. The experts acknowledged in a position paper that Berlin has historical responsibility for Jews due to the Shoah, the murder of millions of Jews during Nazi Germany, but emphasized that the responsibility should not be misinterpreted as requiring unconditional support for all actions of the Israeli government, particularly in light of war crimes in the […]

- [The imperial gaze: Dissecting Trump’s Gaza blueprint](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/the-imperial-gaze-dissecting-trumps-gaza-blueprint/):  The Palestinian people have repeatedly experienced cycles of genocide, occupation, and even attempts aimed at erasure of their identity in various forms. Against this backdrop, US President Donald Trump has presented a “20-point peace plan” for Gaza, a move that appears less like a diplomatic breakthrough and more like a theatrical performance and pantomime of promises, marked by self-promotion and aspirational claims for international recognition as a global peacemaker. The plan envisions Gaza as a “deradicalized” and “terror-free zone”, aimed at turning Gaza into a developed city, as if decades of annexation could be undone with Trump’s signature. A closer look at the plan reveals that it is not a promise for peace, but rather an exercise in spectacle and […]

Speaking at a press conference in Rabat, Sekkouri said: “To be honest, we find it hard to organise a dialogue with the protesters, because the youth movements taking part are not structured in the traditional way.” He added: “The government’s message is that it is ready for dialogue in a short time frame, but we need to know who we will be speaking to. The young people’s message has reached the government, and we must listen to them […]

The navy diverted dozens of vessels to Ashdod port in southern Israel and detained hundreds of activists on board.

Democratic aides in the US Congress confirmed that the funds were released just before the end of Washington’s fiscal year on 30 September. One aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: “For a small country like Lebanon, that’s really, really significant.” According to Reuters, the funding was released at a time when President Donald Trump’s Republican administration had cut back on many foreign aid programmes, arguing […]

Only four Israeli diplomats were still in Colombia after President Petro cut ties with Israel last year. In a statement, Colombia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the government and the Colombian people, strongly condemned what it described as the kidnapping carried out by Israeli armed forces in international waters. The ministry said this act violated international […]

In a statement, the movement said: “The claims that the detainees are linked to Hamas are baseless, and aim to damage the reputation of the movement and distort the German people’s sympathy with our Palestinian cause.” The statement added that “Hamas confirms its policy has always been, and remains, to restrict its struggle against the Zionist occupation to Palestine only.” Earlier on Wednesday, Germany’s federal prosecutor announced the arrest of three suspects in Berlin accused of belonging to Hamas. They are alleged to have attempted to obtain firearms and ammunition to […]

- [Palestinian subordination: Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/palestinian-subordination-donald-trumps-gaza-peace-plan/):  He had moments of discomfort and embarrassment – pressed into calling the Qatari prime minister by his host to apologise for striking Doha and made to pay lip service to the prospect of a Palestinian state – but Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu had many reasons to be pleased.  On 29 September, President Donald Trump advanced a peace proposal that essentially preserves Israeli pre-eminence regarding the fate of Palestinians, though it entails a cessation of hostilities, an affirmation that Gazans would not be expelled (those leaving would have the right to return), and an injunction against Israeli annexation of the Strip.  But Hamas, militarily and politically, would have to surrender all claims, with the Palestinian Authority shepherded and supervised by foreign powers.

- [My Palestine – An Impossible Exile](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/my-palestine-an-impossible-exile/):  From the very first page of My Palestine: An Impossible Exile, Mohammad Tarbush opens a window into a lost world — his childhood village of Beit Nattif. Before its destruction in 1948, Beit Nattif lay on the Hebron Hills, about twenty kilometres southwest of Jerusalem. It was a thriving village of stone houses, olive groves, vineyards, and terraces. “The route to Beit Nattif from Bethlehem was a narrow road that twisted its way through the quiet cone-shaped hills encircled with terraces of white stone, where the vines clawed up through the dark, rust-red earth.” This is how Tarbush begins his memoir: not with statistics or politics, but with the everyday life of a place that once was. He recalls family […]

Recent revelations from filings under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act expose a sprawling Israeli propaganda campaign designed to distort public discourse, especially among younger audiences, and deflect mounting accusations of genocide. At the centre of this campaign is a covert influence operation, exposed in documents filed under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its contractor Bridges Partners, has reportedly paid up to $7,000 per post for influencers to publish pro-Israel content on platforms such […]
- [Demilitarisation, genocide and the two-state paradigm](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/demilitarisation-genocide-and-the-two-state-paradigm/):  The call to demilitarise Gaza is not new. The absurdity of demilitarising an anti-colonial resistance struggle in the face of hi-tech, imperialist supported Israeli genocide “under the supervision of independent monitors”, as the US plan states, only proves who defines the narratives and who controls the ongoing annihilation of Palestinians from their land. Israel, alongside all the countries that have expressed their approval to purportedly stop genocide, have only affirmed their support for genocide. While calling for demilitarising Gaza to render the Palestinians people completely helpless against Israel’s latest military technology, impunity for Israel’s genocide is sealed. Demilitarisation will justify Israel’s security narrative. And in the context of all other coercive measures included in US President Donald Trump’s plan for […]
- [WHO says over 40,000 Gazans have life-changing injuries, needing years of rehabilitation](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/who-says-over-40000-gazans-have-life-changing-injuries-needing-years-of-rehabilitation/):  Nearly 42,000 people in the Gaza Strip have sustained life-changing injuries since Oct. 7, 2023, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report that was released Thursday, Anadolu reports. One in four of the injured are children, said WHO, noting that at least 5,000 people have undergone amputations. Severe injuries include more than 22,000 to arms and legs, over 2,000 spinal cord injuries, 1,300 brain injuries and 3,300 major burns, the report found. Complex facial and eye injuries, particularly for those awaiting evacuation, were also highlighted as a growing source of disability and stigma. The report warned that Gaza’s health system is on the brink of collapse, with only 14 of 36 hospitals partially functional and less than one-third […]
- [Oracle executive pushed to ‘embed love for Israel’ in US culture as TikTok sale advances](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/oracle-executive-pushed-to-embed-love-for-israel-in-us-culture-as-tiktok-sale-advances/):  As Israel intensifies its efforts to dominate online narratives amid global outrage over its genocide in Gaza, newly surfaced communications suggest that senior figures behind the $14 billion purchase of TikTok are motivated not only by concerns over Chinese influence, but by a desire to embed pro-Israel messaging into US culture. A previously unreported 2015 email from Oracle CEO Safra Catz, uncovered by Responsible Statecraft, reveals an explicit commitment to shaping US public opinion in favour of Israel. Writing to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Catz stressed the importance of reaching young Americans before they arrive at university, where support for Palestine has grown dramatically. “We have all been horrified by the growth of the BDS movement on college […]
- [Israeli navy intercepts Global Sumud Flotilla as it approaches Gaza to break siege](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israeli-navy-intercepts-global-sumud-flotilla-as-it-approaches-gaza-to-break-siege/):  The Global Sumud Flotilla announced Wednesday that live broadcasts were cut off from most of its ships as Israeli naval forces surrounded the vessels sailing toward Gaza to challenge a years-long blockade, Anadolu reports. Organizers said the interception occurred as Israeli warships blocked communications and moved to halt the convoy. No immediate details were available about possible detentions or the fate of the ships. Israel has repeatedly warned the flotilla to turn back from its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and change its course. The flotilla, loaded mainly with humanitarian aid and medical supplies, set sail at the end of August and was expected to reach Gaza’s coast on Thursday morning under normal circumstances. This marked the first time […]
- [US imposes new sanctions on Iran after UN ‘snapback’ measures restored](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/us-imposes-new-sanctions-on-iran-after-un-snapback-measures-restored/):  The US on Wednesday announced new sanctions on dozens of individuals and entities tied to Iran’s nuclear and weapons programs, in support of the recent “snapback” sanctions by the UN on Tehran, Anadolu reports. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement that 44 individuals and entities have been designated, including five people and one entity allegedly linked to Iran’s Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND), which he described as the successor to Iran’s pre-2004 nuclear weapons program. The US also imposed additional export restrictions on 26 entities and three procurement-linked addresses. “These actions highlight the importance of the September 27 re-imposition of sanctions and other restrictions on Iran pursuant to multiple UN Security Council resolutions,” Rubio said.

- [Freedom Flotilla: How detained activists became powerful global ambassadors for Palestine](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/freedom-flotilla-how-detained-activists-became-powerful-global-ambassadors-for-palestine/):  When the latest Freedom Flotilla set sail to break the siege on Gaza, it was never just about whether the ships would reach the shoreline. It was about sending a message across seas and continents — that Gaza is not alone, and that hundreds of men and women are willing to risk arrest, deportation, and confrontation with one of the world’s most aggressive military occupations, in order to stand with a besieged people. What unfolded in the Mediterranean was not simply a naval interception; it was the birth of a new chapter in the international solidarity movement. Every activist on those ships, whether Arab or foreign, carried with them a determination that transcends borders. And while Israel may succeed in […]
- [Israeli navy storms ships from Gaza-bound aid flotilla](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israeli-navy-storms-ships-from-gaza-bound-aid-flotilla/):  The organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, said on Wednesday evening that the Israeli navy stormed six ships, assaulted activists, and arrested dozens as some vessels neared the enclave’s coast. This was stated by the International Committee to Break the Siege of Gaza and the flotilla organisers through their accounts on X and Facebook, up to 21:30 GMT. Around 50 ships are taking part in the flotilla, moving in groups separated by a few nautical miles. Activists on board said that the distance between the leading vessels and those at the rear reached about 20 miles. According to the organisers, the Israeli navy had boarded six ships by 21:30 GMT. These included vessels at the […]
- [Israeli Navy attacks Gaza aid flotilla, detains 223 activists](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israeli-navy-attacks-gaza-aid-flotilla-detains-223-activists/):  Israeli naval forces attacked an international aid flotilla bound for the besieged Gaza Strip and detained 223 activists on board, organizers said on Thursday, Anadolu reports. The Global Sumud Flotilla shared on the US social media company Instagram the names and nationalities of 223 activists aboard the 15 of attacked vessels. The activists aboard the ships attacked by Israel were of various nationalities, including Spaniards, Italians, Brazilians, Turks, Greeks, Americans, Germans, Swedes, British, and French citizens, and many others. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said through the US social media company X that the detained activists are on their way to Israel’s Ashdod Port, from which they will be deported to Europe. The official flotilla tracker showed that 21 vessels have […]
- [Meloni’s Gaza challenge: The people vs. Netanyahu’s cronies](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/melonis-gaza-challenge-the-people-vs-netanyahus-cronies/):  What is happening in Italy regarding Gaza is unprecedented in the history of solidarity between the country and any other international cause anywhere. A popular uprising is underway, the consequences of which are likely to alter, not only Rome’s position on the Israeli genocide in the Strip, but the country’s own political structure altogether.  To understand why such a conclusion is a rational one, we must consider two important factors: the popular mobilisation throughout the country and the historical context of Italy’s political attitude towards Palestine and the Middle East.  When the Israeli genocide in Gaza started, the language and political posturing of the far-right government of Giorgia Meloni were more or less consistent with the political positions adopted by […]
- [Trump’s plan: Instant rewards for Israel, vague promises for Palestinians](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/trumps-plan-instant-rewards-for-israel-vague-promises-for-palestinians/):  Two years into Israel’s destruction, war crimes, and genocide in Gaza, Donald Trump rolled out a 20-point proposal, hyped as a path to peace. Arab and Muslim leaders rushed to give their unqualified blessing. Standing right next to Trump, however, Benjamin Netanyahu delivered only a “conditional” endorsement, so riddled with caveats it gutted the plan before the ink was dry. Predictably, the US administration and the managed American media applauded Israel’s supposed acceptance, without any critical review of Netanyahu’s crippling conditions. We’ve seen this script before. Back in 2003, when George W. Bush introduced his “Road Map,” media headlines screamed about Ariel Sharon’s acceptance. What went largely unreported was that Sharon and his cabinet had attached 14 reservations that essentially […]
- [Hamas, Machiavelli, and the cunning art of survival](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/hamas-machiavelli-and-the-cunning-art-of-survival/):  Tempered by siege and baptised by fire, battle-hardened Hamas has emerged not as a mere militant faction but as a masterclass in strategic endurance. Their stubbornness, their refusal to lay down arms, their relentless media warfare—none of it is random. It is the cold calculus of survival. And if you’re still asking why they don’t play fair, you haven’t been listening to Machiavelli. “Never play fair when others are cheating,” Machiavelli warned. “Fairness is a weapon invented by the weak to restrain the strong.” Hamas understands this better than anyone. In a world where diplomacy is often a masquerade and promises are currency without backing, they do not mistake handshakes for peace. They see through the performance. They smell the […]
- [Israel’s defence minister’s remarks signal escalation of war crimes in Gaza, says Hamas](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israels-defence-ministers-remarks-signal-escalation-of-war-crimes-in-gaza-says-hamas/):  The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on Wednesday condemned recent statements by Israeli Defence Minister Yisrael Katz, saying his remarks pave the way for a further escalation of “war crimes” against civilians in Gaza City, Anadolu agency reported. Katz had said that anyone refusing to leave Gaza City would be considered “combatants or supporters of terrorism.” Hamas argued that such rhetoric amounts to a green light for increased military operations against the civilian population. In a statement, the movement said Katz’s comments “represent a blatant manifestation of arrogance and disregard for the international community and the principles of international and humanitarian law, and are a prelude to an escalation of the war crimes committed by his army against hundreds of thousands […]
- [Four Israeli soldiers jailed after refusing Gaza “dangerous” mission](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/four-israeli-soldiers-jailed-after-refusing-gaza-dangerous-mission/):  Four soldiers from the Israeli army’s Nahal Brigade have been sentenced to ten days in prison after refusing to carry out what they described as a “dangerous mission” in Gaza City, Israeli Channel 10 reported on Wednesday evening. According to the report, the soldiers were ordered to escort civilian workers tasked with removing engineering equipment through an unsecured route in broad daylight, using an unarmoured vehicle. The soldiers requested to conduct the mission at night, as they had done in previous operations, but their request was denied. One of the soldiers told the channel: “We were asked to pass through a dangerous road surrounded by buildings that had not yet been destroyed. This is a mission that is usually carried […]
- [Lieberman demands total blockade of Gaza if Hamas rejects US plan](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/lieberman-demands-total-blockade-of-gaza-if-hamas-rejects-us-plan/):  Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman has called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—wanted by the International Criminal Court—to impose a full blockade on Gaza if Hamas rejects the US peace proposal. “If Hamas does not accept the Trump plan, at that moment we will close all crossings into Gaza. No humanitarian aid, no electricity, water, or fuel will be allowed,” Lieberman said, urging Netanyahu to make the threat explicit. His remarks came as Qatar confirmed on Tuesday it had delivered the US president’s plan to Hamas the previous day. A follow-up meeting, with the participation of a Turkish delegation, was scheduled for Wednesday to discuss the proposal and the ongoing war. A senior Palestinian official said Hamas began reviewing the plan […]
- [Poll finds growing US support for Palestinians as backing for Israel falls](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/poll-finds-growing-us-support-for-palestinians-as-backing-for-israel-falls/):  American support for Israel has dropped sharply nearly two years into the Gaza war, with more voters now sympathising with Palestinians, according to a The New York Times/Siena College poll released this week. For the first time since The New York Times began tracking attitudes in 1998, more Americans expressed sympathy for Palestinians (35 per cent) than for Israel (34 per cent). The poll also found a majority opposing additional US military and economic aid to Israel. Roughly six in ten respondents said Israel should end the war even if all Israeli hostages are not released or Hamas is not destroyed. Meanwhile, 40 per cent believe Israel is deliberately killing civilians in Gaza—almost double the share recorded in 2023. The […]
- [Israel charges two men with contacting Iranian intelligence](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israel-charges-two-men-with-contacting-iranian-intelligence/):  Israeli prosecutors have charged two men with communicating with Iranian intelligence and carrying out security missions in exchange for cryptocurrency payments, authorities announced Tuesday. In a joint statement, the Israeli police and Shin Bet identified the suspects as Maor Kringle, 26, and Tal Amram, 26, both residents of Holon. They are accused of photographing military bases and public sites in Israel at the direction of Iranian handlers. The statement said Kringle had been in contact with Iranian intelligence agents since early 2025 and allegedly tried to recruit others for similar missions. He was arrested in August on suspicion of committing security offenses. Authorities described the case as part of an Iranian-linked network that seeks to recruit Israelis online and direct […]
- [UN urges protection of Global Sumud Flotilla heading to Gaza](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/un-urges-protection-of-global-sumud-flotilla-heading-to-gaza/):  The United Nations has called for the protection of the “Global Sumud Flotilla,” a multinational convoy sailing toward Gaza to break Israel’s blockade and deliver humanitarian aid, warning against any Israeli attack on the mission. “Any attack on the flotilla is unacceptable,” said Marta Hurtado Gomez, spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, in a written response to Anadolu Agency. She stressed that “people seeking to deliver humanitarian aid and support hundreds of thousands of hungry and thirsty people in Gaza should not be attacked; they must be protected.” Gomez urged Israel to immediately lift its blockade on Gaza and allow life-saving supplies to enter “by all means.” The warning comes after Israel’s public broadcaster […]
- [Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan: A moral and deliberate failure](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/trumps-gaza-peace-plan-a-moral-and-deliberate-failure/):  Donald Trump’s latest “peace plan” for Gaza, quietly endorsed or tolerated by the EU, and other global powers, is a continuation of decades-long oppression of the Palestinian people. It attempts to normalize Israeli occupation, reward aggressors, and punish the oppressed. This plan is neither fair nor constructive; it entrenches injustice under the guise of diplomacy. The plan offers token economic incentives and vague “security guarantees” but makes no provision for accountability for Israel’s repeated massacres, starvation tactics, and systemic violence in Gaza. In reality, it punishes Palestinians for defending their lives and their land while protecting Israel’s military dominance. Colonization deepens: settlements in the West Bank expand, Palestinian autonomy is hollowed out, and East Jerusalem faces further erasure. Israel remains […]
- [Trump’s Gaza Plan: A High-Tech Experiment in Global Serfdom | Palestine This Week with Mouin Rabbani](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/trumps-gaza-plan-a-high-tech-experiment-in-global-serfdom-palestine-this-week-with-mouin-rabbani/):  In this episode, we dive into Donald Trump’s so-called Gaza “Peace Plan,” a proposal that, beneath the surface, looks less like a path to peace and more like a high-tech experiment in subjugation. Gaza has long been treated as a testing ground, from weapons that are later marketed as “battle-tested” to political experiments imposed from the outside. Now, with Trump’s plan and the Jared Kushner-Tony Blair blueprint, the stage is being set for something even more far-reaching: a model of technological domination that could extend well beyond Palestine. We trace the history of peace plans imposed on Palestinians, showing how they’ve consistently denied justice, demanded impossible concessions, and then blamed Palestinians for rejecting them. Today’s plan is no different, but […]
- [The decay of international tools: Forced displacement and starvation in Gaza](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/the-decay-of-international-tools-forced-displacement-and-starvation-in-gaza/):  In Gaza today, amid rubble, starvation, and mass graves, the language of international law is being turned on its head. Israel and its allies have unveiled the idea of a “humanitarian city” in Rafah’s Mawasi area, presented as a safe zone where displaced Palestinians might survive in tents and makeshift shelters under the continued Israeli shelling. It is described as a gesture of care, a lifeline in the middle of destruction. Yet this so-called city is not humanitarian at all. It is the latest chapter in a long history of forced displacement, collective punishment, and Zionist expansionist ambition. It is a crime disguised as compassion. The world has seen this before. Hitler spoke of resettlement and order while orchestrating mass […]
- [Israel kills 100 Palestinians every day in Gaza: UN refugee agency](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/israel-kills-100-palestinians-every-day-in-gaza-un-refugee-agency/):  The Israeli army kills an average of 100 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip daily, in addition to those dying of starvation and lack of medical care, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday, Anadolu reports. “On average, 100 people are reported killed every day in Gaza due to the Israeli military operation or shootings at the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ food points. Meanwhile, others die of hunger or lack of medical care.” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement on US social media company X. Israel has killed over 66,100 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to a famine. On May […]
- [Duty to secure Gaza peace falls first on Islamic world, then global community: Turkish president](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/duty-to-secure-gaza-peace-falls-first-on-islamic-world-then-global-community-turkish-president/):  Ensuring Palestinians get the lasting peace they deserve is first the duty of the Islamic world to Gaza, then the global community’s, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday at the opening of the Turkish parliament’s new legislative year, Anadolu reports. Erdogan stressed that parliament has “passed the Gaza test with pride,” adding that it did so “in a manner worthy of our history and national character.” He said the most powerful response to Israel’s ongoing actions in Gaza has risen from the parliamentary chamber, highlighting Turkiye’s vocal stance on the humanitarian crisis. The president vowed that Turkiye will continue its struggle until a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital is established along the 1967 borders. Erdogan’s remarks […]

The fund, representing 3 million Dutch citizens, stated that it sold its Caterpillar shares on ethical grounds. ABP is also Europe’s largest and the world’s fifth-largest pension fund, with assets totaling €534 billion ($628.2 billion). “Our investment approach must ensure good returns while being socially responsible,” the statement read, referring to its policy on investing in conflict zones like Gaza, where Israel has been committing genocide against Palestinians. The fund said its investment portfolio changed due to the Israeli military attacks on Palestinians. […]

The organizers accused Rome of “sabotage,” claiming the decision was meant to “demoralize and fracture a peaceful humanitarian mission that governments have failed to take on themselves.” They described Italy’s stance as “cowardice dressed up as diplomacy,” arguing that if Rome truly sought to […]
- [US website: Israeli contract to influence artificial intelligence in Israel’s favour](https://muslimvoicenetwork.com/us-website-israeli-contract-to-influence-artificial-intelligence-in-israels-favour/):  The US website Responsible Statecraft reported on Tuesday that the Israeli government has signed a $6 million contract with the American company Clock Tower X to produce media content aimed at influencing artificial intelligence models, such as ChatGPT, to promote narratives more favourable to Israel. “Israel wants to train ChatGPT to be more pro-Israel,” the website titled its article. According to the site, which is run by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, at least 80 per cent of the content will target Generation Z audiences through platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other digital media. The campaign is expected to generate at least 50 million monthly views. The report added that Clock Tower X will rely on the […]
