The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on Tuesday affirming the UN's responsibility towards Palestine and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and supporting a two-state solution.

The draft resolution was prepared by Djibouti, Jordan, Mauritania, Qatar, Senegal, and Palestine, and was presented for a vote in the UN General Assembly.

151 countries voted in favor of the draft resolution, while 11 countries opposed it, led by Israel and the United States, and 11 countries abstained from voting.

In a speech before the General Assembly prior to the vote, Turkey's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ahmed Yildiz, reaffirmed his country's strong support for peaceful efforts to resolve the Palestinian issue, urging all member states to work seriously to implement the provisions of the resolution.

Yildiz described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as 'extremely concerning,' noting that the number of deaths resulting from Israeli attacks has exceeded 70,000.

He also 'strongly' condemned the assaults by Israeli settlers and their seizure of Palestinian lands in the West Bank, emphasizing that achieving a just and lasting peace in the Middle East can only be through a two-state solution based on the borders of 1967.

The resolution calls on Israel to withdraw from all territories it has occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, and to realize the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.

The Central Bureau of Statistics stated that approximately 42,000 people in the Gaza Strip suffer from severe life-changing injuries, with their number nearly doubling in just one year.

The "Statistics" report issued today, Wednesday, on the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, based on estimates from the World Health Organization, indicated that 22,500 injuries were recorded until July 2024.

The most common injuries include: complex limb injuries, amputations, burns, spinal cord and brain injuries, and severe trauma leading to permanent loss of movement or sensation functions.

The report also documented more than 5,000 amputation cases, with an estimated 75% occurring in the lower limbs, in addition to thousands of serious injuries to the spinal cord, brain, burns, and complex limb injuries.

The "Statistics" highlighted that children make up a large proportion of these injuries, with more than 10,000 children suffering from severe disability-causing injuries, while they constituted 51% of medical evacuations outside the Gaza Strip from May 2024 to June 2025.

It confirmed that these figures reflect a sharp collapse in rehabilitation services, which have decreased by 62% due to the destruction of facilities, lack of equipment, and the martyrdom of more than 1,700 health personnel, including 42 specialists in physical and occupational therapy, amid a severe shortage of assistive devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and prosthetics.

The statistics indicated that children are among the most affected groups; more than 10,000 children suffer from severe disability-causing injuries, according to World Health Organization estimates until September 24, 2025.

Reports from Médecins Sans Frontières indicated that 70% of burn patients who underwent surgeries are children, most of whom are under five years old, reflecting the severity of the injuries they face in the absence of medical supplies and the lack of essential assistive devices for recovery.

The statement showed that data from the Ministry of Health regarding medical evacuations from May 2024 to June 30, 2025, constitutes an additional indicator of the scale of the crisis, as 749 patients with severe injuries were evacuated for treatment outside the sector, with children making up 51% of them.

The data clarified that major limb injuries constitute the largest proportion of cases, along with a high percentage of amputation cases reaching 22%, and complex neurological and brain injuries that currently lack adequate rehabilitation services within the sector.

The statistics confirmed that rehabilitation services, which the World Health Organization considers an essential part of healthcare and necessary to prevent complications, are facing a significant collapse in the Gaza Strip due to the destruction of health facilities, loss of personnel, and disruption of supply chains.

It indicated that the level of rehabilitation services has decreased by 62%, according to Ministry of Health reports until November 27, 2025, due to widespread destruction, lack of medical equipment, and the martyrdom of more than 1,700 health personnel, including 42 specialists in physical and occupational therapy.

The statement noted that current estimates are limited to injuries resulting from direct trauma and do not include the increasing needs arising from deteriorating health conditions due to aggression, such as malnutrition, chronic diseases, displacement, and the absence of essential assistive devices, making the actual burden on rehabilitation services much greater than the announced figures.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday that the results of forensic examinations showed that the remains handed over by Hamas on Tuesday do not belong to either of the last two remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip.

The official statement clarified that what was found among the "remains" returned from Gaza does not belong to the intended missing persons.

The office mentioned that the occupation forces in Gaza had received what they described as "samples," which were immediately transferred to inside Israel for precise laboratory tests, revealing that they did not match.

The International Committee of the Red Cross had previously indicated that Hamas handed over remains on Tuesday believed to belong to one of the last hostages, in accordance with the terms of a ceasefire agreement reached last October.

This concerns the bodies of two hostages that Tel Aviv continues to demand, namely: Ron Givli, an "Israeli," and Sudthesak Renthal, a Thai. It is noted that both were captured during the attack on October 7, 2023.

The eastern regions of the Gaza Strip witnessed an intensified Israeli military escalation on Wednesday, concentrated within the area known as the "yellow line," where the incursion and military operations take place. The occupying forces combined aerial bombardment with ground demolition operations.

Khan Younis: Eastern bombardment in the southern sector. Field sources reported that the occupying aircraft launched a series of violent airstrikes targeting objectives "within the yellow line" east of Khan Younis city, resulting in rising columns of smoke and the sound of massive explosions in the area.

Al-Tuffah neighborhood: Demolition of buildings. In northern Gaza City, eyewitnesses reported that the invading Israeli forces were "demolishing residential buildings" within the yellow line in the "Al-Tuffah" neighborhood east of the city.

Two citizens were martyred and others were injured this evening, Tuesday, in an Israeli occupation artillery shelling of a house in Gaza City.

A reporter stated that the occupation's artillery shelled a house in the "Snafoor" area of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of two citizens, one of whom was a child, and the injury of 15 others.

Several citizens, including children and women, were also injured due to the shelling of Al-Daraj School, which shelters displaced persons in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, in the center of Gaza City.

In the southern Gaza Strip, a citizen was injured by occupation fire in the cemetery area, west of Khan Younis.

Medical sources in Gaza Strip hospitals reported that 5 martyrs have fallen due to the ongoing violations of the Israeli occupation since dawn today.

The occupying state announced on Tuesday that it received "samples of remains" transferred via the Red Cross, which are believed to belong to one of the two prisoners whose bodies it claims are still inside the Gaza Strip. However, the Israeli forensic department stated that they do not belong to any of its prisoners.

The office of the occupying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in a statement that "Israel received samples of remains transferred from the Gaza Strip via the Red Cross and handed over to the army and the internal security agency within the strip."

Later, the occupying authorities announced that the remains samples do not belong to either of the two prisoners it claims "are still in the strip." This was according to what was announced by the forensic institute on Tuesday evening, according to the Hebrew broadcasting authority.

The institute stated that "the samples sent from Gaza do not belong to the remains of any of the remaining deceased abductees."

Tel Aviv conditions the start of negotiations to launch the second phase of the ceasefire agreement on receiving all the bodies of the prisoners, while there are 9,500 missing Palestinians killed by the Israeli army, and their bodies remain under the rubble of homes destroyed during the genocide, according to the government media office in Gaza.

On October 10, the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Tel Aviv came into effect, which was supposed to end the Israeli genocide that left more than 70,000 Palestinian dead and about 171,000 injured.

However, Israel repeatedly violated the agreement, resulting in martyrs and injuries among Palestinian civilians, while Hamas announced its commitment to the terms and demanded that mediators compel Tel Aviv to implement them.

The "Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital" in the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip received 5 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel on Tuesday, according to the prisoners' office affiliated with Hamas.

This comes as part of periodic releases of prisoners from the Gaza Strip, who have been held for months in Israeli prisons that lack the minimum humanitarian standards, where they are subjected to torture, according to documented testimonies.

The prisoners' office stated in a post on the "Telegram" platform that "the occupation forces released 5 prisoners who arrived at the Martyrs of Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central Gaza Strip."

It noted that the released prisoners were transferred to the hospital by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The office did not provide details about the health condition of the released prisoners, but former detainees reported that many of the prisoners are released suffering from malnutrition and injuries due to severe physical torture inside Israeli prisons.

Israel released about 1,700 prisoners from Gaza on October 13, as part of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement signed by Hamas and Israel.

The agreement came into effect on October 10, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, and sponsored by the U.S. president as part of a multi-phase plan.

Most of those released at that time arrived in a deteriorating health condition, and several of them spoke about being subjected to torture, starvation, and humiliation inside Israeli prisons.

More than 10,000 Palestinians, including children and women, remain imprisoned in Israeli jails, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect that has led to the deaths of many detainees, according to Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations.

The ceasefire agreement ended an Israeli genocide in Gaza that lasted for two years since October 8, 2023, supported by Washington, resulting in more than 70,000 Palestinian deaths and about 171,000 injuries, most of whom are children and women, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around $70 billion.

Hebrew reports revealed that the occupation recorded an unprecedented increase in attempts to smuggle weapons into the occupied territories via drones coming from Sinai over the past week.

The Hebrew radio "Imis" reported that surveillance forces detected 87 drones along the border with Egypt in just one week, 26 of which managed to breach the fence, while 18 drones were shot down, and the path of 43 others was not tracked, believed to have fallen inside Egyptian territory before crossing the border.

The radio stated that the occupation forces carried out two operations during the same period against smuggling networks operating in the border area, one of which ended with the arrest of a smuggler who had set up a large launch platform near the border fence.

According to the report, initial investigations revealed that the smuggling operations are not limited to individual weapons but also include hazardous materials and advanced weapons, indicating an "intention to enhance the capabilities of active cells inside Israel," as claimed.

The radio also clarified that a special military force has been placed on high alert to confront this threat, in order to act quickly in the event of detecting drones.

"Imis" quoted a senior security official as saying: "We are preparing for this scenario seriously and for all possible contingencies."

The radio noted that air surveillance systems detected a drone crossing the border from the east last Wednesday night, which was immediately intercepted.

Its wreckage was later found on Thursday morning, revealing that it was carrying 10 pistols, which were transferred to the relevant security agencies for examination of their source and the distribution networks associated with them.

The Israeli Central Fund was established by the couple Hadassah and Arthur Marcus in New York City in 1979 as a non-profit organization, and it is now headed by their son Guy.

The fund annually transfers 100 million dollars to right-wing organizations in Israel and supports more than 504 associations whose activities range from settlement and immigration to religious education.

The fund's money is used to support extremist religious education and assist families of settlers convicted of crimes against Palestinians.

The Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announced on Tuesday that 5 Palestinians were injured, including two women and two children, as a result of the Israeli army firing towards homes in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, outside the areas it occupies in the city.

The Civil Defense stated in a statement: "Our teams were able to evacuate 5 injured individuals, including two women and two children, who were shot by the Israeli army in the Al-Sanfour area of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood."

It added: "Our teams also managed to evacuate dozens of families that were besieged by the occupation in their homes under fire from its tanks and drones."

Despite the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and Israel, the latter continued its violations and targeted Palestinians outside the areas it withdrew to under the agreement, resulting in casualties and injuries, while the agreement was supposed to end the genocide that Israel began on October 8, 2023.

This genocide has resulted in more than 70,000 Palestinian deaths and around 171,000 injuries, most of whom are children and women, along with massive destruction, with the cost of reconstruction estimated by the United Nations at about 70 billion dollars, while the agreement came into effect on October 10 amid ongoing violations by Tel Aviv.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday the death of a young man shot by the Israeli army near the entrance of the "Atarot" settlement in the occupied West Bank.

The ministry stated in a statement that the General Authority for Civil Affairs (the body communicating with the Israeli side) informed it "of the martyrdom of the young man Muhammad Ruslan Mahmoud Asmar (18 years old) from the town of Beit Rima, as a result of being shot by the Israeli army north of Ramallah, and the detention of his body."

This comes as two Israeli soldiers were injured on Tuesday in a stabbing attack near the entrance of the "Atarot" settlement north of Ramallah, according to a statement from the army, which announced the death of the assailant.

For its part, the official Hebrew broadcasting authority reported that two soldiers were lightly injured in the central West Bank, while Israeli forces shot at the assailant "which led to his death."

In this context, eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli army closed all entrances to the city of Ramallah following the attack, causing a severe traffic jam and preventing thousands of Palestinians from reaching their jobs.

Earlier today, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the death of the boy Muhannad Tarek Muhammad Al-Zughair (17 years old) shot by the Israeli army in the city of Hebron in southern West Bank.

The developments come at a time when the West Bank is witnessing an unprecedented escalation in attacks by the army and settlers against Palestinians and their properties, since the onset of the Israeli massacre in Gaza on October 8, 2023.

The Israeli escalation in the West Bank has resulted in the deaths of at least 1,085 Palestinians and injuries to more than 10,000, in addition to the arrest of over 21,000, according to official data.

Hebrew media reported on Tuesday morning that a stabbing incident occurred near the settlement of "Atir" built on citizens' lands in the Ramallah district. The incident resulted in the injury of two Israelis, while the occupation army announced the martyrdom of the assailant after shooting him.

The occupation army's radio confirmed the injuries among the settlers. It quoted the "Israeli ambulance" crews as saying they provided first aid to the injured at the scene, describing their wounds as "minor."

In an initial statement, the occupation army claimed that it "received a report about the incident." It alleged that the Palestinian youth "attempted to stab soldiers at the site," prompting its forces to shoot him and "neutralize him immediately." Following this, the occupation army deployed "additional reinforced forces to the site of the incident," announcing that the details of the incident are still "under investigation."

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society revealed that the occupation forces imposed a security cordon around the injured Palestinian assailant. The Red Crescent confirmed that the occupation soldiers "prevented its crews from reaching the injured near the Atir settlement north of Ramallah" to provide him with the necessary treatment.

The Israeli occupation forces continue, for the second consecutive day, to invade the city of Tubas and the town of Aqaba north of Tubas.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces raided several citizens' homes, searched them, and turned some into military barracks, in addition to raiding some shops and forcing their owners to close their doors.

The director of the Prisoners' Club in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, stated that the occupation detained 18 citizens in Tubas and Aqaba, of whom seven were released.

Patrol movements of the occupation forces continue in Tubas and Aqaba, with the deployment of infantry units in some neighborhoods.

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education decided, for the second day, to cancel in-person attendance in all public and private schools and kindergartens in the Tubas governorate, while the suspension of work also continues in official and private institutions, coinciding with the ongoing imposition of a curfew by the occupation in Tubas and Aqaba.

Stefan Dujarric, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, stated that the congestion on the roads leading to Gaza to deliver aid exposes the convoys to security risks and looting.

He pointed out that the other routes available for the convoys are insufficient, causing traffic jams and putting the convoys at risk of looting and security threats.

He noted that 1.5 million people are still in urgent need of support, and that the needs are extremely high.

He mentioned that the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs continues its operations throughout the Gaza Strip, despite the extremely dire humanitarian conditions.

He added that efforts to expand access to health services are still facing difficulties due to the severe shortage of essential materials and the significant damage to infrastructure during the war.

The Israeli genocide war in Gaza, which began on October 8, 2023, and lasted for two years, left more than 70,000 Palestinian casualties and about 171,000 injured, most of whom are children and women, along with massive destruction, with the UN estimating the cost of reconstruction at around $70 billion.

Israeli settlers began establishing a new settlement outpost in the town of Mukhmas, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, on Monday.

The rights organization "Al-Baydar" stated in a press release that groups of Israeli settlers started building a new settlement outpost on the lands of citizens east of the town of Mukhmas this evening.

It clarified that the settlers set up facilities at the site "in a move that is part of the attempts to expand settlements that threaten agricultural lands and population centers in the area."

It pointed out that "the continuation of such actions increases tension, undermines the stability of the residents, and limits their ability to access their lands."

"Al-Baydar" called for the intervention of human rights and international bodies to monitor "this illegal expansion and to work on protecting the lands and local populations from the dangers that threaten them."

According to data from the Palestinian Authority's Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, settlers established 114 settlement outposts during the years of the genocide war on Gaza, up until October 5, 2025.

Since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967, successive Israeli governments have established hundreds of settlements, housing more than 700,000 settlers.

The United Nations confirms that this settlement is "illegal" and undermines the chances of implementing the two-state solution principle (Palestinian and Israeli) as stipulated in international resolutions, calling for its cessation for decades, but to no avail.

Five Palestinians were injured during the Israeli occupation army's incursion into the city of Al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank. The occupation forces also renewed their incursion into the city of Tubas in the northern West Bank, a continuous operation that has lasted for about 20 hours, including an aerial drop.

The Palestinian Red Crescent stated in a statement that its crews provided field medical assistance to two children who were injured by rubber bullets during the occupation forces' incursion into the Surfa Marhaba area in Al-Bireh.

In a subsequent statement, the Red Crescent clarified that its crews also dealt with three injuries from tear gas in the area, including two girls who were transferred to the hospital, while one injury was treated on-site.

In this context, a large force from the occupation army stormed the Al-Shurfa neighborhood in Al-Bireh and imposed a siege on residential buildings.

Eyewitnesses explained that the forces closed the entrance to the neighborhood and spread out in its main and secondary streets before beginning to besiege several buildings and preventing movement in their vicinity, amid clashes erupting.

Witnesses indicated that the army fired metal-coated rubber bullets and tear gas canisters at dozens of Palestinians who threw stones at the forces.

In the city of Tubas in the northern West Bank, a reporter stated that the Israeli occupation surrounded the city, isolating it from its surrounding towns and launched a wide arrest campaign after imposing a curfew.

The occupation forces had sent military reinforcements to the city and the town of Aqaba, converting several homes into a military barracks, amid the presence of helicopters and drones.

In an interview, Tubas Governor Ahmad Al-As'ad stated that the occupation imposed a curfew on the entire Tubas governorate and closed all entrances with military checkpoints and earth mounds.

He added that the occupation is conducting raids on homes in the city of Tubas and the town of Aqaba.

Meanwhile, during a field tour that included Tubas and the town of Tamoun, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir stated that the army launched Operation "Five Stones" in the northern West Bank following attempts to form an armed organization.

He added that the army is continuously working to enhance defense and security in the settlements of the West Bank.

On another note, the Palestinian Information Center reported that a number of occupation soldiers were injured in a traffic accident that occurred near the Tayaseer checkpoint in Tubas governorate.

In the southern West Bank, a reporter stated that the Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Al-Dhahiriya south of Hebron and raided several homes.

The reporter also noted that the occupation forces stormed the home of martyr Walid Sabarnah in the town of Beit Ummar north of Hebron.

In the town of Qusra southeast of Nablus, clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and the Israeli occupation forces.

In Jenin, a reporter stated that the occupation army forced families to evacuate their homes in the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood southwest of Jenin.

The occupation forces closed shops in the town of Qabatiya south of Jenin as part of their military campaign in the area.

The popular committee in the Jenin camp stated that the occupation demolished, destroyed, and burned more than 1,600 homes in the camp, displacing more than 20,000 Palestinians from the camp and its surroundings.

The Israeli occupation forces closed shops in the town of Qabatiya south of Jenin as part of their military campaign in the area.

The Israeli occupation army has been conducting a military aggression against the camps in the northern West Bank since January 21, which began in Jenin camp and then expanded to include the camps of Tulkarm and Nur Shams east of Tulkarm.

Since the start of the genocide war in the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023, more than 1,085 Palestinians have been martyred in the West Bank by the bullets of the occupation army and settlers, and about 11,000 have been injured, in addition to the arrest of more than 21,000.

A Palestinian woman was injured on Monday evening due to gunfire from Israeli drones targeting the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, in a new violation of the ceasefire.

Medical sources stated that a Palestinian woman was transferred to the Baptist Hospital in downtown Gaza after being shot by an Israeli drone of the 'Quadcopter' type. The sources did not clarify the nature of her injury or disclose her identity.

In turn, a reporter indicated that the Israeli gunfire occurred in areas from which the Israeli army had previously withdrawn under the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10.

This constitutes a new violation of the ceasefire agreement mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, and sponsored by the United States.

The reporter noted that Israeli drones of the 'Quadcopter' type fired and dropped bombs towards citizens' homes near the Al-Sanfar intersection in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, coinciding with artillery shelling targeting the vicinity of the area.

No immediate comment has been issued by the Israeli army regarding the incident.

Israel continues its violations of the ceasefire it signed with 'Hamas', having committed approximately 591 violations since October 10, killing more than 357 Palestinians and injuring 903 others, according to the government media office in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone on Monday evening, amid Washington's efforts to ease tensions between Tel Aviv and Damascus, according to Hebrew media.

Netanyahu's office stated: "The Prime Minister spoke shortly before with President Trump."

It added: "The two leaders emphasized in their conversation the importance and commitment to disarming Hamas and stripping the Gaza Strip of weapons, and discussed expanding peace agreements."

Trump invited Netanyahu to "meet at the White House in the near future," according to the same source.

While Netanyahu's statement did not mention Syria, the official Hebrew broadcasting authority reported that the phone call between the Israeli Prime Minister and Trump came against the backdrop of U.S. efforts to ease tensions between Israel and Syria following the Israeli incursion into the town of Beit Jann in the south of the country.

The authority added: "The United States is seeking to calm tensions between Israel and Syria after the incident that occurred last weekend, in which 6 Israeli soldiers were injured by gunfire directed at them in the village of Beit Jann in southern Syria."

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" reported that the Netanyahu-Trump call "came one day after he (Netanyahu) submitted a request for pardon to President (Israeli) Isaac Herzog, and shortly after Washington sent a clear message to Israel amid the tensions with Syria."

Repeatedly, Trump has urged Herzog to grant Netanyahu a presidential pardon to end his trial on corruption charges against him in Israel.

The Portuguese embassy in Tel Aviv organized a special and direct event. Thousands of 'Israeli' settlers formed long lines outside one of the venues in the 'Ramat Hasharon' settlement to secure appointments for renewing passports or obtaining Portuguese citizenship, indicating a rising interest in acquiring European citizenship as an alternative option.

Heavy turnout after surpassing the electronic booking system The Portuguese embassy in Tel Aviv held a special and direct event at 'Cinema City Galilot', where it exceeded its crowded online booking system, leading to this unprecedented congestion. The lines extended from the entrance to the underground parking lot, with many people arriving before dawn to reserve their spots, clearly demonstrating the growing interest in Portuguese citizenship among Israeli settlers.

This large event reflects a broader trend among 'Israeli' settlers seeking second passports. Since the onset of the aggression on Gaza in October 2023, there has been a significant increase in applications for Portuguese citizenship, as many seek alternatives amid security concerns.

An article in the Israeli newspaper Maariv considered that U.S. President Donald Trump is the main player in the pardon file for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, rather than Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Writer Mati Tuchfeld in the newspaper viewed that the issue of pardoning Netanyahu is part of Trump's vision and the major moves he plans on a global level.

She noted that some in Netanyahu's circle realize that the real negotiations will not take place between the Prime Minister's lawyer and the head of state, but rather between him and American parties who see that Netanyahu's resignation is not on the table at all.

In a related context, the Jerusalem Post called in its editorial for Israel to find a way to move forward after years of Netanyahu's trial on corruption charges that have been prolonged due to bureaucratic complexities.

It pointed out that a large portion of Israelis are fed up with the trial, while others insist on its continuation until the end.

On the issue of Israeli expansion in the region, writer Nasreen Malik in the Guardian viewed what she described as "Israeli imperialism" expanding throughout the region, not limited to Gaza, but also continuing attacks on the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon.

The writer noted that ceasefires are being violated and Israeli airstrikes and ground incursions continue, leading to an increase in fatalities.

On the military economic front, Politico pointed to a new report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute showing that revenues from the world's top 100 arms companies rose last year by nearly 6% to a record level of $679 billion in 2024.

The report attributed this increase to the growing demand fueled by the war in Ukraine and Gaza and rising military spending globally.

In developments regarding migrant issues, The Hill noted the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security's acknowledgment of her agreement to deport Venezuelan detainees to El Salvador despite a court order to halt that.

The founder and president of the "Americans for Global Peace" organization, Bishara Bahbah, narrated his political and intellectual transformations that essentially reflect the changes in Arab and Islamic communities in the United States. It is a story from which the narrator learned a harsh lesson about political promises, leading him to decide to turn electoral voices into a bargaining chip that would only be granted in exchange for written commitments rather than verbal ones.

In an extensive conversation, Bahbah reveals his vision for the future of the Palestinian cause, asserting that dialogue with the Israelis is the only realistic option in the absence of an influential Palestinian military force, stating, "What is the alternative to dialogue? Military action? The Palestinian people have no military action."

Bahbah continues to present a vision that may provoke widespread debate, based on a demilitarized Palestinian state, with only internal security forces, yet it is a state with full sovereignty over its human and natural resources, which he sees as a realistic vision given the current balance of power.

Today, Monday, colonists uprooted 850 olive and grape trees southeast of Yatta, south of Hebron.

Anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamra stated that armed colonists from the settlement of Susya, built on citizens' lands south of Hebron, stormed - under the protection of occupation soldiers - the lands of Khirbet Khillat al-Hummus southeast of Yatta.

He added that the colonists uprooted about 850 grape and olive trees, destroyed the contents of an agricultural room, and damaged barbed wire.

On Sunday, Israeli Shin Bet chief David Zini held talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad regarding the Gaza Strip file and the second phase of the ceasefire agreement during his visit to the capital, Cairo.

The agency, citing an unnamed informed source, indicated that Zini visited Egypt on Sunday and met with the head of Egyptian intelligence, marking his first foreign visit since taking office last October.

It noted that the meeting addressed the Gaza file and discussions on the second phase of the ceasefire deal, while no additional details were provided regarding the content of the talks or the outcomes of the visit.

No comment has been issued by the Egyptian side regarding what the Hebrew broadcasting agency reported, while a delegation from Hamas discussed on November 23 with the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence in Cairo the developments of the ceasefire agreement and the situation in Gaza, including the second phase of the agreement.

The Israeli occupation conditions the start of negotiations to implement the second phase of the ceasefire agreement on receiving all the bodies of the prisoners, claiming that the remains of two prisoners are still in Gaza.

In statements on Sunday, Hamas leader Hussam Badran emphasized that the occupation uses the bodies as an excuse not to fulfill its commitments, pointing out that "in numbers, the resistance has only two bodies left, one of which is Israeli and the other is of a foreign worker, but the occupation, with its usual racism, only talks about the Israeli body."

Badran noted that the Al-Qassam Brigades are making daily efforts in cooperation with the Red Cross and with the mediation of intermediaries to reach the body, thus there is no obstruction from Hamas in implementing what was agreed upon in the first phase of the agreement.

He added: "Before discussing the second phase of the agreement, what is required from the entire world, especially the U.S. administration, and anyone who cares about the stability of the region, is to compel the occupation first to implement what was agreed upon in the first phase."

Civil society leaders have set harsh conditions for granting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, a general pardon after he submitted a request to Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

According to the newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth," Netanyahu surprised everyone by submitting a request for pardon from President Herzog.

Netanyahu is effectively seeking a full pardon regarding his trial on corruption charges before facing public accountability for the October 7 attack.

The newspaper highlighted that one of the reasons for submitting the pardon request is Netanyahu's view of a "shaky, weak, and fearful judicial system in Israel."

In a related context, the "Guardian" reported that civil society and opposition leaders in Israel pledged to oppose any attempt to pardon Netanyahu, asserting that he cannot be granted a pardon without an admission of guilt, expression of remorse, and immediate withdrawal from political life.

Opponents argued that only the guilty seek pardons, emphasizing the need for Netanyahu to take responsibility and retire from politics, and only then will unity among Israelis be achieved.

On the domestic American front, "Newsweek" magazine noted 5 opinion polls that painted a bleak picture for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Support for Trump has dropped to its lowest level in his second term, and the cracks in his coalition "Make America Great Again" have widened, with declining support from Latino voters.

The polls indicated significant gains for Democrats even in historically conservative districts, which could reshape control of Congress.

Regarding war crimes investigations, an independent investigation published by "The Times" revealed a cover-up of war crimes committed by British special forces in Afghanistan resulting from decisions made by the commander of those forces.

A senior officer reported that the statistics related to detentions compared to the number of deaths did not seem credible.

The officer explained that the responsible official deliberately handled the information misleadingly, confirming that the director failed to address any potential criminal activity despite being aware of what was happening on the ground, and testimonies included evidence of alleged killings between 2010 and 2013.

In terms of humanitarian conditions, "The Independent" described how the current winter in Gaza is erasing beautiful childhood memories.

In the past, winter was a season of warmth and joy, but now floods and fierce winds impose a daily challenge for residents to endure.

On the subject of natural disasters, "The Washington Post" covered heavy rainfall and record floods in Southeast Asia that resulted in the deaths of more than 500 people.

The region has been experiencing a nearly continuous series of storms since mid-September, while rising global temperatures have increased the saturation of the atmosphere with water and led to more severe storms.

On another note, an investigative report published by "The New York Times" sparked controversy in Washington after claiming that the U.S. military carried out a second strike targeting survivors of an attack on a boat in the Caribbean as part of the Trump administration's campaign against drug traffickers.

Lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties called for an investigation into the incident, with Republican Representative Mike Turner stating that killing survivors is an illegal act, while Democratic Senator Tim Kaine considered that if the incident is true, it amounts to a war crime.

The media advisor for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Adnan Abu Hasna, stated that Israel is holding 6,000 trucks belonging to the agency carrying food supplies sufficient for the Gaza Strip for three months.

In addition to hundreds of thousands of tents and blankets that can accommodate 1.3 million Palestinians, at a time when the sector is suffering from a worsening humanitarian crisis.

Although Abu Hasna confirmed during an interview that the number of trucks entering Gaza currently exceeds what was entering before the ceasefire, he pointed out that the major issue lies in the mismatch between these quantities and the enormous needs.

Israel still prevents the entry of hundreds of items into the sector, including materials related to health, sanitation, water, and food supplies.

He noted that Israel allows more materials for the commercial sector than it does for humanitarian and relief organizations.

Abu Hasna said that most of Gaza's residents are entirely dependent on humanitarian aid, as people have no money except for a few thousand employees of UN organizations and what remains of Palestinian Authority employees.

He also indicated that humanitarian organizations are submitting requests to bring in specific materials such as spare parts for water desalination and sewage treatment plants, medical equipment, medical teams, and international staff, but Israel rejects most of these requests, limiting approvals to basic materials like canned goods, flour, and some medicines.

Abu Hasna warned that the continuation of the current situation will return Gaza to square one, citing what happened during two days of rain that fell for only a few hours, where rainwater mixed with sewage due to the destruction of the system, leading to massive collapses of tens of thousands of tents.

On another note, waste is piling up and sewage water is flooding the narrow streets near the tents of displaced people in the southern sector, with children living in swamps filled with diseases and epidemics according to testimonies from the displaced.

Municipal officials explained that the current fuel crisis is the largest since the outbreak of the war two years ago, affecting all aspects of municipal work.

Municipal vehicles and equipment are incapacitated due to fuel shortages, while the occupying authorities have not allowed new vehicles to enter.

On the other hand, the Civil Defense apparatus is facing extreme challenges with the severe fuel shortage, as its crews are unable to reach relief areas in a timely manner.
