Hamas should stop fighting back. Why launch a counter-attack from Rafah? It only prolongs the war, helps the far right groups in Israel and leads to more deaths and injuries of innocent people. #gaza
More than 70 international organisations are calling on all authorities and international institutions to officially declare a famine in Gaza, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has said in a statement.
The entire population in the Gaza Strip (2.2 million people) are experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity, with half of them in the disaster/famine stage.

In 2024, the meaning of “pro-Israel, pro-peace” is macabre: J Street supports U.S. military aid to Israel as it carries out a genocide. Liberal American Zionism has revealed itself to only be a tool for the subjugation of the Palestinian people.
"Egypt has basically accepted every term that Israel imposed on it..to a degree..of actual collusion."
"Egypt has denied access into Gaza to the international media, Egyptian media, human rights investigators.... Why do Israel’s bidding by denying them..at the Egyptian side?"
Egypt gives "Israelis complete control on the vetting of who comes out of Gaza", even stranded Egyptian citizens.
I am so heartened and impressed by the growing student protests and support from faculty in Germany. That here, too, more and more people are saying that unconditional support of Israel is morally entenable, that Germany has to stop supplying arms; that combatting antisemitism does not mean killing 10,000s of innocent people. #Gaza
Protesters are doing this despite considerable state and police repression and violence.
Ansar Allah official Nasr al-Din Amer rejects the notion the Yemeni movement is simply a proxy for Iran and says its maritime blockade of Israel in the Red Sea is meant to lift the siege on Gaza and has the overwhelming support of the Yemeni people.
Erneut Massenproteste gegen Netanyahu-Regierung in Israel
Aus Unzufriedenheit mit der Regierung von Premierminister Netanyahu sind in Israel erneut Tausende Menschen auf die Straßen gegangen. Unterdessen gehen die israelischen Angriffe im Gazastreifen weiter - trotz internationaler Kritik.
« Que devons-nous retenir du concert de protestations, sinon strictement du moins essentiellement occidental, suite à l’annonce de Karim Khan ? La #CPI pourra-t-elle survivre à une forme d’impasse liées aux pesanteurs et interférences politiques en particulier dans ce dossier ? »
Detained at a US airport & asked about Israel & #Gaza for 2 hours. Why? Ilan Pappé
Border agents asked whether I believe #Israel is committing #genocide & what I think of popular #protest slogans shortly after landing in Detroit
My initial attempt to find out why I was stopped was disregarded. It was clear the agents were asking the questions & my role was to answer them. So until today I did not officially receive any explanation for detention
Vessels supporting US pier wash away in heavy seas off Gaza
"The pier has been criticised as a complicated & costly alternative that tries to deflect attention from demanding a much simpler solution – for Israel to fully open all land crossings to Gaza & to secure aid trucks going in."
Israel is keeping land crossings - "the only effective way of getting large-scale aid to starving Palestinians" - closed.
"Israel is brazenly flouting an order of a court it appeared before. It is indiscriminately killing civilians seeking refuge. This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law and a war crime. It is time the international community put sanctions on Israel as it did to South Africa."
