The Israeli army claimed on Friday that it had arrested cells affiliated with the Iranian Quds Force in Syrian territory over the past weeks and months.

It stated in a statement: "As part of a series of special operations carried out on Syrian territory in recent weeks, elements affiliated with the Iranian Quds Force were captured, and the elements were transferred for investigation (into Israel)."

The army alleged that "these cells were directed by Unit 840 of the Quds Force to carry out operations against the State of Israel."

It mentioned that in March and April of last year, "two field operatives affiliated with Unit 840 were arrested on Syrian territory, namely Zaidan Al-Tawil and Muhammad Al-Karyan."

It also claimed that "in the course of the investigations with the arrested individuals, it became clear that some of them did not know who they were working for, and their recruitment to work with Unit 840 often occurred without revealing the true motives of the unit, and through financial bribery."

In this context, it added that "Unit 840 is responsible for developing and directing operations against Israelis both domestically and abroad."

As of 8:30 (UTC), there had been no comment from Damascus or Tehran regarding the occupation's claims, which contradict the withdrawal of all Iranian military formations from Syria prior to the flight of the ousted president Bashar al-Assad and the fall of his regime in late 2024.

Since that date, Israel has continued its violations against Syrian sovereignty, announcing the collapse of the separation of forces agreement signed with Damascus in 1974, while the latter confirmed its commitment to the agreement and called for an end to Tel Aviv's violations.

The new Syrian administration, established since December 8, 2024, has not posed any threat to Tel Aviv; nevertheless, the Israeli army has repeatedly infiltrated Syria and conducted airstrikes that killed civilians and destroyed military sites, military vehicles, and weapons and ammunition belonging to the Syrian army.

Israel has occupied most of the Syrian Golan Heights since 1967 and exploited the events surrounding the overthrow of the Assad regime in late 2024 to expand its occupation.

A poll showed that 75 percent of Israelis support the attack launched by Israel on Qatar to target leaders of the 'Hamas' movement. The poll, the results of which were published by the Hebrew newspaper 'Maariv', revealed that 75 percent of Israelis support targeting 'Hamas' leaders in Qatar, compared to only 11 percent who oppose it, and 14 percent who have no specific opinion.

On Tuesday, Israel launched an airstrike on the leadership of the 'Hamas' movement in Doha, and afterward vowed to attack the leaders of the Palestinian movement 'everywhere'. Qatar condemned the Israeli attack, describing it as 'state terrorism', affirming its right to respond to this aggression which resulted in the martyrdom of a member of the internal security forces.

Meanwhile, 'Hamas' announced that its negotiating delegation led by its head in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt, while the director of his office, Jihad Labed, and his son, Hamam al-Hayya, along with three companions, Abdullah Abdul Wahid, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmed Abdul Malik, were martyred.

The governor of Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank, Abdullah Kmeil, announced on Friday that the Israeli army has arrested more than a thousand Palestinians during the expansion of its aggression on the city since yesterday, which includes a tight siege and raids.

Kmeil stated in a statement that "the occupation army is launching an extensive aggression on Tulkarem, accompanied by arbitrary and unjust mass arrests, which on Thursday targeted more than a thousand citizens, storming homes, destroying their contents, and terrorizing children and women."

He emphasized that "what is happening in the city is part of a systematic policy of the occupation, with this aggression continuing since January 27 of last year, which aims to undermine the resilience and will of our Palestinian people."

The governor issued an urgent call to the international community, the United Nations General Assembly, the Human Rights Council, human rights and humanitarian organizations, and all free people of the world, "to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against Tulkarem and its people."

He warned of "the seriousness of these crimes and their humanitarian repercussions," demanding that the international community "should bear its moral and legal responsibilities, work urgently to stop these violations, provide protection for our Palestinian people, and hold the occupation accountable for its crimes."

The Israeli army has imposed a tight siege on Tulkarem for the second day, accompanied by a campaign of arrests and field investigations against dozens of young men after storming their homes and searching them.

This came after two Israeli soldiers were lightly injured when an explosive device targeted a military vehicle in the vicinity of the city.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the soldiers were injured "after a Panther military vehicle passed over an explosive device near the contact line at the Nitzani crossing."

Meanwhile, the Israeli army radio stated that its forces imposed a cordon around the Tulkarem area following the explosion.

The Palestinian news agency "Wafa" reported that the Israeli army closed the iron gates at the southern and eastern entrances of Tulkarem, preventing vehicles from passing.

It added that the forces raided commercial shops and cafes in the city center, arresting everyone found inside or in their vehicles, forcing them to walk in long lines towards the street leading to the Khadouri military checkpoint.

The army also seized surveillance camera recordings after storming several shops and deployed more military vehicles and a bulldozer to the city.

In contrast, the "Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades," the military wing of Hamas, in conjunction with the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for detonating a powerful explosive device against an army vehicle near the "Nitzani Oz" checkpoint west of Tulkarem.

At the beginning of this year, the Israeli army began a wide military operation in the northern occupied West Bank, including Tulkarem.

Alongside the genocide war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, have killed at least 1,020 Palestinians and injured about 7,000 others, in addition to arresting more than 19,000, according to Palestinian data.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,718 dead and 163,859 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and famine that has killed 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

The trial of Ryan Roth, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a golf course in Florida in 2024, began yesterday, Thursday, two months before the presidential elections, after a jury was selected over three days.

Judge Aileen Cannon allowed Ryan Roth (59 years old) in July to represent himself without a lawyer. Roth pleaded not guilty to five charges, including the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate, which could carry a life sentence, and his trial is expected to last between two to four weeks.

Roth also faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm due to his criminal record, possession of a firearm with an unclear serial number, possession of a firearm for the purpose of committing a violent crime, and assaulting a federal agent.

American media reported that the judge interrupted his opening statement, in which he addressed the history of humanity and global conflicts, just minutes into it. Roth also faces charges of illegal possession of a firearm due to his criminal record.

After 45 minutes of prosecution arguments, the judge asked Roth to respect the 'dignity of the court,' but he continued in the same manner, prompting Cannon to announce to the jury—consisting of 12 people—the end of the opening statements and requested the prosecution to call the first witness.

Roth's trial comes at a time of increasing concern about political violence in the United States, following the killing of activist Charlie Kirk during an event in Utah, western United States.

On September 15, 2024, agents from the Secret Service, responsible for protecting high-profile American political figures, spotted Roth carrying a weapon near the golf course where Trump was present, and he was subsequently arrested.

This was the second time Trump faced an assassination attempt, having survived another one on July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Hebrew media revealed that the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, discussed with the security establishment in the last "Cabinet" session a plan to deport Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, which is set to be implemented next month through aerial and naval means.

According to Channel 12, Netanyahu is expected to present these plans to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his visit to the occupation's headquarters.

The Hebrew channel clarified that Tel Aviv has already contacted several countries to host the Palestinians, but "Israel" itself has doubts about the feasibility of the plan.

In the same context, ministers in the occupation called for convincing Egypt to allow the displaced to pass through its territory, which Netanyahu also doubted would succeed.

In a decisive response, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry firmly rejected any plans to deport Palestinians, describing them as "an unacceptable Israeli policy aimed at emptying Palestinian land."

The ministry stated in a statement that Egypt will not accept or participate in this "historical injustice," warning that this step will inevitably lead to the "liquidation of the Palestinian cause."

Cairo emphasized that these plans constitute "a war crime and ethnic cleansing" and violate international law, calling on the countries of the world not to get involved in this "unethical crime."

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered outside the ceremony honoring Israeli actress Gal Gadot as she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 18, while the following day, the star's location was occupied and vandalized in protest of her support for the genocide against Gaza.

Writer Sharon Waxman discusses in her article "Hollywood at War with Itself Over Gaza," published in The New York Times, the impact of the ongoing genocide against Gaza for nearly two years on global cinema, especially in its most important stronghold, Hollywood.

Waxman stated that Gaza has incited Hollywood against itself, and that the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals have highlighted the divisions created by the war in Gaza.

The Israeli occupation army announced the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing on Friday morning, preventing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

This closure comes shortly after it was reopened for seven weeks, during which the 35th convoy of aid entered.

It is worth noting that the occupation continues to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid through the Rafah border crossing from the Palestinian side.

206 members of the Japanese parliament signed a letter addressed to Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, demanding that the government recognize the State of Palestine.

Three members of parliament, including Tomoko Abe from the Constitutional Democratic Party, the main opposition party, submitted the signed letter to Iwaya on Thursday.

Following his meeting with Iwaya, parliamentarian Tamomuko stated: "Israel does not intend to accept a ceasefire, and the starvation of children cannot be ignored."

Environmental activist Greta Thunberg, who participated in the "Madeleine" ship mission and was arrested by the Israeli occupation, called for teaching school children about the genocide in Gaza.

In statements made by the Swedish activist, reported by The Times correspondent Georgia Lambert, she urged schools to stop teaching false narratives that ignore or distort the facts of genocide.

Thunberg spoke days before two ships from the fleet were targeted in a drone airstrike while docked in a Tunisian port. It was reported that one of them was flying the British flag.

Thunberg (22 years old) said: "I believe that schools should highlight the early warning signs of genocide, such as the Holocaust, and apply them to what we are currently witnessing to ensure it does not happen again" and "we must teach children from a young age that this is a very dangerous slope. It is crucial to understand the reality of our world if we want to change it."

She added, "Current education systems have completely failed to teach us an understanding of the historical times we live in and to learn from history to prevent these things from happening over and over again."

In England, teaching the Holocaust is a legal requirement in Key Stage 3, and the Labour Party's review of the curriculum and assessment is examining how to ensure all young people receive a broad and comprehensive education.

The Department for Education states that schools can teach a wide range of issues, including difficult or controversial topics, but insists that this must follow strict rules regarding political balance and integrity.

Schools across Britain commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27, which marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, millions of victims who fell, as well as victims of Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur, are remembered.

Thunberg, who gained fame at the age of fifteen for organizing a school strike demanding the Swedish government take climate action, said she was inspired by the protests in the UK against the government's ban on the "Palestine Movement."

She said: "I was inspired by the massive mobilization happening in the UK for the people of Palestine, from which I believe we can learn a lot" and "people of all ages, not just camp students, but also those brave enough to face terrorism charges just for saying they support the Palestine Movement, the UK government is a disgrace to everything we know."

She said: "I did not learn in school about what was happening in Palestine, because it was always portrayed as a conflict. Then when you discover that this is genocide and occupation and apartheid and ethnic cleansing, that is not what we learned in school at all."

Genocide is defined under international law as acts committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, in whole or in part.

While the British government refuses to consider what is happening in Gaza as genocide according to this definition, a special committee at the United Nations found that Israel's actions in Gaza "align with the characteristics of genocide."

Nevertheless, Thunberg argued that "the occurrence of genocide cannot be denied."

She also spoke about her struggles with "anxiety and depression due to climate change."

She said: "We learned that to change this situation, we can provide paper and turn off the lights to save energy. It was like a light pat on the back, as if we were saying: 'No, no, don't exaggerate, don't worry about anything, everything is under control,' while it was very clear that we are not in control of anything. That was a kind of extreme arrogance."

She followed her school's advice and then became a vegetarian, which led her to avoid flights and reduce her consumption before engaging in political activism.

She said: "The best remedy for anxiety and feeling overwhelmed is to take concrete action about it."

More than 20 citizens have been killed and others injured since the dawn of this Friday, due to the ongoing bombardment by the Israeli occupation on the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources reported that 14 citizens were killed in an airstrike by the occupation on a house in the Al-Touam area, north of Gaza City.

The sources added that 4 citizens were killed and others injured as a result of the occupation's bombardment targeting the town of Jabalia Nazla in the northern Gaza Strip.

The sources also mentioned that two citizens were killed and others injured after the targeting of a tent housing displaced persons in the Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.

Additionally, one citizen was killed and others injured while waiting for aid from the occupation's gunfire north of Rafah City, while another citizen was martyred in Khan Younis City, south of the Gaza Strip.

In the Sudanese area, northwest of the Gaza Strip, several citizens were killed and injured due to the occupation's targeting of one of the houses.

In Deir al-Balah City, in the central Gaza Strip, citizen Mohannad Abu Meiri was killed, succumbing to injuries he sustained in a previous bombardment on the city, while occupation aircraft targeted 3 houses belonging to the "Abu Meiri" family early this morning, east of Deir al-Balah.

The Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" revealed that the Israeli occupation army will begin transferring hundreds of armored vehicles, tanks, troop carriers, and bulldozers to the border with the Gaza Strip, specifically in the Ashkelon area.

This move indicates the possibility of the occupation army preparing for a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip.

The European Parliament condemned the occupation's ban on the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, calling for the opening of all border crossings.

The European Parliament voted on a resolution regarding Gaza, with a majority of 305 votes in favor, 151 votes against, and 122 parliamentarians abstaining from voting.

The European Parliament stated in a statement following the vote that it "strongly condemns Israel's prevention of humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip, which has led to famine."

The European Parliament also called for the opening of all border crossings and urged the re-funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), expressing its objection to the current aid distribution system.

It also announced its support for the decision of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to suspend "bilateral support for Israel and its efforts to suspend the trade provisions in the EU-Israel partnership agreement."

The European Parliament called for sanctions against the far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and settlers and Israeli activists who support violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.

The Parliament urged all EU institutions and member states to take diplomatic steps to ensure adherence to the two-state solution, while also calling for "the complete disarmament of Gaza and the exclusion of Hamas from managing the sector" and the re-establishment of a Palestinian Authority as the sole governing body.

The Parliament also encouraged EU countries to execute arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court and emphasized the need for member states to consider recognizing the State of Palestine.

The European Parliament described Israel as a "key partner of the EU in combating regional terrorism" and affirmed its right to self-defense, provided it complies with international law.

The statement claimed that "Israel's right to self-defense" does not justify the "military operations" in Gaza that have caused unbearable suffering for civilians.

It is noted that the joint resolution presented by the Socialist and Democratic groups, "Renew Europe," and the Greens included provisions such as recognition of genocide, an arms embargo on Israel, and the complete suspension of the partnership agreement; however, these provisions were removed from the text due to a lack of consensus.

On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for "suspending free trade with Israel," and spoke about Europe's "painful inability to respond to the war on Gaza and the ensuing humanitarian disaster."

In her strongest condemnation of the occupation government, von der Leyen criticized the illegal settlement plans that would divide the occupied West Bank in two, as well as the incitement to violence by extremist Israeli ministers, describing it as a "clear attempt to undermine the two-state solution."

She made these remarks during her annual "State of the Union" address before the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where she depicted a troubled world where "lines of combat are being drawn" and "dependencies are being armed ruthlessly."

Von der Leyen also described Europe's inability to agree on a response to Gaza as painful and stated that the EU's executive will freeze its bilateral support for Israel, aside from funds for civil society organizations and the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial center.

The official Israeli broadcasting authority stated that "six soldiers from the Givati Brigade of the army refused to participate in a new round of fighting in the Gaza Strip, prompting their leadership to punish them with imprisonment."

The authority reported that security sources said, "The six soldiers were supposed to enter the northern Gaza Strip, specifically the Jabalia area, but they informed their leaders that they were suffering from physical exhaustion and psychological pressure after nearly two years of continuous operations inside Gaza."

The authority added that "despite their warnings about their psychological deterioration, they were brought to a military trial."

It noted that three of the soldiers were convicted of "refusing orders" and sentenced to 10 days in prison, while two others received suspended prison sentences, and the sixth is awaiting retrial.

According to the authority, the six soldiers "participated dozens of times in incursions into the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, lost comrades during battles, and faced difficult field incidents."

This incident adds to previous similar cases that reflect increasing signs of discontent and psychological exhaustion within the ranks of the Israeli occupation army, nearly two years after the Gaza war, amid ongoing casualties and continuous field pressure.

In recent times, dozens of Israeli military personnel have announced their refusal to participate in the war in Gaza, asserting that its continuation aims to keep Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in power at the expense of Israeli prisoners.

The occupying state estimates that there are 48 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many having died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

Repeatedly, Hamas has confirmed its readiness to release Israeli prisoners "all at once" in exchange for ending the genocide and withdrawing the Israeli army from Gaza and releasing Palestinian prisoners, but Netanyahu, who is wanted by international justice, evades this by insisting on the continuation of the occupation of Gaza.

The occupying state, with American support, is committing genocide in Gaza since October 2023, resulting in 64,718 martyrs and 163,859 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, with famine killing 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

A spokesperson for the German government said on Thursday that Berlin will support the United Nations resolution on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but does not believe the time is right to recognize a Palestinian state.

The spokesperson added, "Germany will support such a resolution that simply describes the current situation in international law," noting that Berlin "has always supported the two-state solution and consistently calls for it."

The spokesperson further stated, "Chancellor (Friedrich Merz) reaffirmed two days ago that Germany does not see the time as right to recognize a Palestinian state."

Britain, France, Canada, Australia, and Belgium have announced that they will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly this month, although London said it might reconsider if Israel takes steps to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and commits to a long-term peace process.

The United States strongly opposes any move by its European allies to recognize a Palestinian state.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced last week that the United States has informed other countries that recognizing a Palestinian state would cause more problems.

Those who see recognition of the Palestinian state as a symbolic gesture more than anything else point to the limited impact in the conflict from countries like China, India, Russia, and many Arab nations that have recognized the Palestinians' right to establish their own state for decades.

By bombing the capital of Qatar for the first time and killing six people, Israel confirmed that Arab sovereignty offers no protection, while Washington turns a blind eye to this blatant escalation.

The Israeli attack on Doha is not an ordinary escalation; it is a thunderbolt that shakes every palace, every ministry, and every street in the Arab world. It was not an attack on Hamas, nor on Gaza, but on the very idea that any Arab capital is safe.

Within weeks, Israel bombed Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran, and last year it also bombed Iraq, targeting two ships from the steadfast fleet in Tunisia just two days ago.

The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session tonight to discuss the Israeli attack on Qatar. The session took place in New York with the presence of the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and witnessed condemnations from the United Nations and most member states of the council regarding the Israeli attack, along with praises for Doha's mediation efforts to end the war in Gaza and its contributions to peace.

Many delegates stated that the Israeli bombardment aimed to undermine the efforts of mediators seeking to end the war in Gaza. For her part, Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN Under-Secretary-General, said that the Israeli strike shocked the world and constitutes a violation of Qatar's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This attack was described as a concerning escalation, especially since it targeted individuals who were gathered to discuss the latest American proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. Meanwhile, the UK representative to the Security Council, Barbara Woodward, stated that her country clearly condemns the Israeli strikes on Doha and fully stands in solidarity with Qatar.

Woodward also described the Israeli attack as a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and a warning of further escalation in the region, noting that Qatar has always been a mediator for peace in the Middle East. For his part, French representative Jérôme Bonaventure condemned the Israeli attack, affirming that it represents a flagrant violation of international law, welcoming Qatar's tireless efforts to mediate an end to the war in Gaza.

The Chinese representative, Fu Tsung, described the attacks on Doha as a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and international law, emphasizing that targeting the Hamas delegation in the Qatari capital reflects bad faith, irresponsibility, and a determination to sabotage negotiations.

The Russian representative, Vasily Nebenzya, condemned the Israeli attack on a residential area in Doha, noting that the bombardment occurred just 600 meters away from the Russian mission's headquarters. Nebenzya stated that the Israeli strike targeted the efforts of mediators and will have serious repercussions.

In contrast, Dorothy Shea, the acting US representative, stated that what happened does not serve the goals of Israel or America. Shea added that despite the painful nature of the incident, President Donald Trump believes it could be an opportunity for peace, as he expressed.

She continued that Trump assured the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani that such an incident would not be repeated on Qatari soil. For his part, the Israeli representative at the Security Council stated that Hamas leaders were the sole target of the occupation's attack in Doha.

He added that there is no immunity for terrorists or those who support them, stating that they have no immunity whether they are in a tunnel or a hotel, according to him. He continued that Qatar must now choose either to condemn Hamas and expel it or Israel will do so.

He added that the occupation's bombardment of Doha conveys that there is no safe haven for terrorists anywhere, neither in Gaza nor in Tehran nor in Doha, as he said. For his part, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman stated that the Israeli government is rogue, driven by hatred, and sees itself above the law.

He added that the rogue Israeli government leaves no opportunity to fuel conflict, spread chaos, and generalize violence. He pointed out that in a blatant violation of international law, Israel violated Qatar's sovereignty and launched a cowardly attack on its capital.

He clarified that the Israeli government lies in all its justifications for betraying Qatar after all it has done to stop the war. He continued that Israel betrayed a country that works tirelessly with Egypt and the United States to reach a prisoner exchange deal.

The international roundtable conference aimed at drawing attention to the genocide being committed by Israel against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the threats targeting holy sites concluded in Istanbul on Thursday.

The conference, held in collaboration with the European Muslim Forum, the Jerusalem International Foundation, the International Union of Muslim Scholars, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Studies Foundation, took place at the "Çırağan" Palace in Istanbul.

The second and third sessions of the conference featured speeches from Sheikh Mu'taz Hafizi Yasin Abu Sneina, the Imam of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, Ayman Zidan, the Executive Director of the Jerusalem Foundation, Russian journalist and politician Maxim Shevchenko, Yeshayahu Yosef Rosenberg, a rabbi from the "Neturei Karta" movement and an anti-Semitism activist, and journalist Israel Shamir.

In his speech, Abu Sneina stated that Israel is carrying out an "occupation operation" against the Ibrahimi Mosque, pointing out that the mosque is currently facing assaults.

He emphasized the necessity of respecting the sanctity of holy places, noting that worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque are subjected to insults and humiliation during every search.

Abu Sneina highlighted that there are restrictions on entry and exit, and that the aim of this is to reduce the number of worshippers in the mosque.

He mentioned that the call to prayer and the act of praying are prohibited 50 to 60 times a month "under the pretext of disturbing people."

Abu Sneina expressed his gratitude to the Turkish people for their support of Palestine.

For his part, Zidan stated that Israel aims to completely Judaize Jerusalem, stressing the need for Muslim unity.

He pointed out the necessity of responding to Israel's policies regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque within the framework of the law.

Shevchenko, in turn, affirmed that Israel does not recognize the rule of law.

He mentioned that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan defends the rights of Muslims and Christians.

He stated that Turkey protects the concept of "justice" that was adopted by the Ottoman state.

Rosenberg emphasized the importance of activities aimed at stopping genocide and occupation in Palestine.

He also stressed the importance of raising one's voice against this situation, expressing his deep pain as a Jew regarding Israel's practices that have tarnished their reputation.

Rosenberg added that Israel has exploited Judaism to "justify" its crimes.

Shamir pointed out that Israel has bombed churches in Gaza, noting that "the Zionists are also fighting Christianity."

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 deaths and 163,859 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals, and famine that has claimed the lives of 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

A United Nations affairs expert stated that the issuance of a unanimous statement - within the Security Council - in solidarity with Qatar confirms the rejection of the Israeli aggression against an independent sovereign state.

The expert, Abdel Hamid Siam, explained in a statement that the statement emphasizes the necessity of standing with international law, as what occurred is a violation of the United Nations Charter.

Israel had launched an aggression against Qatar targeting a number of leaders of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) who were meeting to discuss a U.S. proposal to end the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

Although the political expert wished that the statement had been presidential rather than journalistic, Siam simultaneously welcomed the issuance of the statement with the unanimous agreement of all members, including the United States.

The United States has used its veto power 6 times to prevent the international council from condemning the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza.

Members of the Security Council condemned - in a press statement - the recent attacks that took place in the Qatari capital and expressed their deep regret over the deaths of civilians.

The 15 member states of the council, including the United States, agreed on the statement, which did not mention Israel as the party that carried out the attacks.

The council members affirmed the importance of stopping the escalation and stressed their support for the sovereignty of the State of Qatar.

The UN affairs expert described what happened as 'a clear-cut aggression and a complete crime.'

He added, 'In this case, this aggression is called a major war crime, which is one of the four crimes upon which the International Criminal Court is based.'

The ongoing aggression of the Israeli occupation against the city of Gaza has led to widespread destruction of infrastructure and residential areas in less than a week, in addition to the devastation that has occurred in the city since the beginning of the genocide war on October 7, 2023.

Data collected shows that the occupation has destroyed 12 residential buildings with more than 7 floors, containing about 500 apartments, resulting in the displacement and homelessness of more than 10,000 citizens.

The occupation also bombed more than 120 buildings with fewer than 7 floors (averaging 3 floors per building), leading to the displacement of over 7,200 citizens.

The occupation has partially damaged more than 500 buildings, which has deprived nearly 30,000 citizens of their homes.

In a related context, the data indicated the destruction of more than 600 tents that were sheltering displaced persons, displacing at least 6,000 additional citizens, as well as the complete destruction of 10 schools and 5 mosques.

The data clarified that more than 50,000 citizens in Gaza, including children, women, and the elderly, have become homeless in less than a week amid an escalating humanitarian catastrophe.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) stated that the rates of malnutrition among children in the Gaza Strip are increasing at an alarming pace, and that the latest data shows an unprecedented rate in August of children suffering from acute malnutrition who were examined.

The organization noted in a press release today, Thursday, that the rate across Gaza rose to 13.5% last month, up from 8.3% in July.

In Gaza City - where famine has been confirmed - the number of children undergoing treatment for malnutrition was higher, reaching 19%, compared to 16% in July.

Katherine Russell, the Executive Director of UNICEF, stated that one in five children in Gaza City was diagnosed with acute malnutrition during August and needed the life-saving nutritional support provided by UNICEF.

She pointed out that the organization managed to bring more supplies to the Gaza Strip. However, she said that the Israeli military escalation in the city forced about 10 nutrition centers to close, leaving children more vulnerable.

She emphasized the need to protect nutrition services in Gaza City and throughout the Strip, adding: "No child should suffer from malnutrition that we can prevent and treat when we can safely access and deliver aid."

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 martyrs, 163,859 injured, most of whom are children and women, and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, with famine claiming the lives of 411 citizens, including 142 children.

The United Nations Security Council condemned, on Thursday evening, the strike that targeted the Qatari capital, Doha, on Tuesday, without naming Israel. This came in a press statement agreed upon by all 15 members, including the United States, ahead of an anticipated emergency session of the Security Council later today to discuss the situation in the Middle East and address the Israeli attack on Qatar.

According to the statement prepared by both the United Kingdom and France, Security Council members expressed their condemnation of the recent strikes in Doha, the headquarters of a key mediator in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, on September 9.

Security Council members also expressed their deep sorrow over the loss of civilian lives in the Israeli attack on Doha. They emphasized the importance of de-escalation and expressed their solidarity with Qatar, reaffirming their support for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Israeli military writer Itai Blumenthal predicted that any potential response from Qatar to the recent Israeli airstrike in Doha would be limited and carried out via warplanes, given that Doha does not possess ballistic missiles.

Blumenthal added through the Hebrew channel "Kan 11" that these strikes could pass through the airspace of Saudi Arabia and Jordan to ensure the effectiveness of the response and reduce risks on Qatari territory, emphasizing that the main goal is to send a deterrent message to Israel after the recent airstrike.

The analyst pointed out that executing any response depends on a precise assessment of the situation and ongoing coordination with regional partners, with close monitoring of the United States' position to avoid any uncalculated escalation.

This assessment comes after statements from Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who confirmed in an interview with CNN that his country would respond to the Israeli attack, stressing that details are still under discussion with Doha's regional partners.

The Qatari Prime Minister affirmed that his country has not threatened the Israeli occupation or its people, saying: "Netanyahu always claims that we are a threat, while we are protecting our countries and peoples; none of our countries has threatened Israel or its people, so why does he claim to be a man of peace? We are at a critical moment in the Middle East, and his claim that he is reshaping the region is very dangerous and unacceptable to us."

Blumenthal explained that the statements of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in which he announced the kingdom's readiness to support any Qatari response to the Israeli occupation, reflect complete regional coordination between Doha, Riyadh, and other partner countries, enhancing Qatar's ability to send precise political and military messages without entering into an open confrontation.

The analyst confirmed that any potential Qatari move would be executed carefully to avoid any direct confrontation, focusing on deterring Israel politically and militarily, while Washington and Gulf countries closely monitor developments amid rising tensions following the recent airstrikes, in an attempt to balance deterrence with avoiding the outbreak of a comprehensive regional conflict.

Fawzi Barhoum, a leader in the movement, announced at a press conference on Thursday that "the crime of the Zionist entity is not only an assault on the sovereignty of the State of Qatar but also a barbaric declaration and a declaration of war on all our Arab and Islamic countries."

Emphasizing that "the Zionist entity endangers regional and international security."

In a notable political move, the European Parliament on Thursday called on the member states of the Union to consider recognizing the State of Palestine, emphasizing that this aims to achieve a two-state solution.

This call came as part of a non-binding resolution adopted at the Parliament's headquarters in Strasbourg, with a majority of 305 votes in favor, 151 against, and 122 abstentions.

The resolution primarily addressed the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, expressing deep concern over what it described as the 'catastrophic' situation there.

The resolution strongly condemned what it termed the 'Israeli government's blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza,' holding it responsible for causing 'famine' in the northern part of the territory.

In this context, European lawmakers urged the immediate opening of all border crossings to ensure the unobstructed flow of aid.

They also called for the urgent 'renewal of the mandate and funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA),' stressing the need for it to be under 'strict oversight,' while simultaneously expressing their rejection of the current aid distribution mechanisms.

The resolution, presented by the Social Democrats, Greens, and Renew Europe groups, was titled 'Gaza on the Edge: The EU's Action to Combat Famine, the Urgent Need to Free Hostages, and Move Towards a Two-State Solution.'

Two citizens were killed, and others were injured, as a result of the Israeli occupation army targeting a gathering of citizens in front of the Al-Nouri Tower in Al-Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent reported that two martyrs arrived at Al-Awda Hospital due to the occupation's targeting of the citizens' gathering, which also resulted in dozens of injuries.

He pointed out that the occupation's aircraft destroyed 15 houses in Gaza City since this morning, displacing hundreds of citizens and evacuees in the surrounding area.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the (E1) plan this evening, Thursday, to expand the settlements established on the lands of the West Bank and surrounding occupied Jerusalem.

This colonial plan aims to isolate occupied Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings, severing the geographical and demographic connection between Jerusalem and Palestinian communities, and undermining the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The plan also seeks to expand the borders of East Jerusalem by annexing the colonial bloc of "Ma'ale Adumim" to it, which will lead to the displacement and uprooting of the residents of the Bedouin communities once again from their lands, in exchange for an increase in the number of settlers in Jerusalem at the expense of the original Palestinian citizens.

The Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale arrest campaign this evening, Thursday, against citizens in the city of Tulkarem. Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces raided shops and cafes in the city center, particularly on Al-Haddadin Street and Martyr Thabet Thabet Square, and around Al-Alimi Roundabout ('the courts') in the western neighborhood, arresting anyone present inside or in their vehicles, and led them on foot in long lines towards the street leading to the Khadouri military checkpoint ('Nitzani Oz') to the west.

She added that the occupation forces deployed more military vehicles and heavy bulldozers to the city, where they concentrated around Al-Alimi Roundabout, and soldiers raided homes and shops in the area, forcing them to close, and confiscated several surveillance cameras from them, while preventing the movement of citizens in the area.

The occupation forces also stormed the Arta suburb and the southern neighborhood of the city, raiding several homes, searching them, interrogating their residents, and arresting the two young men Qussam Hatim Faqih and Bilal Abu Sha'ar from their home. The Israeli occupation forces imposed a tight siege on the city this afternoon, after closing the iron military gates at its southern and eastern entrances, represented by the Jabbar Bridge gate at the southern entrance and the military Hajar Anab gates to the east, preventing the movement of vehicles through them.

The occupation forces fired live ammunition heavily towards citizens and vehicles in the western neighborhood, specifically around the 'Nitzani Oz' gate, coinciding with the sound of a massive explosion that shook the city, while the occupation prevented Palestinian ambulances from reaching the area. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed that the occupation forces prevented its crews from reaching the area.

This escalation comes amid the ongoing aggression of the occupation against the city of Tulkarem and its camps ('Tulkarem and Nur Shams'), which has entered its 228th consecutive day, amidst daily incursions and strict military measures targeting citizens and their properties.

Omer Celik, the spokesperson for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, said on Thursday that the brutal terrorist act committed by Israel in Qatar is an aggression against all countries wishing to achieve peace and ceasefire.

This came in press statements following a meeting of the party's central committee chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the party's headquarters in the capital, Ankara.

Celik explained that "the Israeli attack on Qatar has once again proven that the genocide network ignores all rules and engages in a cunning approach to the extent that it has even ensnared the negotiating team in a trap."

He added that "the attack also proved that the main party threatening international order and law and the national security of countries is the network of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

Celik continued: "It has been unequivocally established that there is no platform to discuss other issues without stopping Netanyahu's network and holding it accountable before the law."

He stated that "this network has directly attacked negotiations, diplomacy, the ceasefire process, and calls from the international community."

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced that it had launched an airstrike on the leadership of Hamas in Doha, which sparked widespread regional and global condemnations and calls for a collective response to deter Israel.

Qatar condemned the Israeli attack, describing it as "state terrorism," affirming its right to respond to this aggression that resulted in the death of a member of the internal security forces.

Meanwhile, Hamas announced that its negotiating delegation, led by its chief in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt, while the director of his office, Jihad Labed, and his son, Hamam al-Hayya, along with three companions, Abdullah Abdul Wahid, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmad al-Mamlouk, were killed.

The attack on Qatar came despite its role as a mediator alongside Egypt, with American participation, in indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement for prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

This attack reflects Israel's expansion of its aggressions regionally, as it launched an aggression against Iran last June and has been committing genocide in Gaza for nearly two years, along with assaults in the occupied West Bank, and conducting airstrikes on Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

The office of the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued a statement responding to the remarks of the Prime Minister of Spain, who confirmed that his country does not possess nuclear weapons, indicating that these statements represent a threat to the state of occupation.

The remarks came at a sensitive time as tensions in the region escalate due to the ongoing aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip, which intensifies the political rhetoric among countries.

This statement comes in the context of Spain's attempts to play a role in de-escalation, yet the response from the state of occupation reflects concern over any international pressures that may affect its military strategy.

The newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "Israel" announced its direct responsibility for the attack targeting a building where Hamas leadership operates in Doha, confirming that the operation would not have taken place without American approval, given the close coordination between Washington and Doha for years, and its control over Al Udeid Air Base.

The newspaper added that Israeli planes would not have breached the airspace of the emirate without a green light from the U.S., pointing to a clear threat issued by U.S. President Donald Trump to Hamas, stating: "This is my last warning," while presenting his plan for a "comprehensive deal."

It mentioned that the Qatari leadership received a strong hint from the Americans regarding the attack in the Katara neighborhood, as a spokesperson for the White House stated that "Trump did not like the location of the attack and regrets it."

The newspaper clarified that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the operation was a response to the attack in Jerusalem that resulted in the deaths of six Israelis, for which Hamas claimed responsibility.

It noted that the plan to target the movement's leadership in Qatar had been ready for some time "waiting for the right opportunity," and that "Israel" this time did not hide its responsibility and pressured to withdraw any direct American cover.

Yedioth reported that the first hours after the operation saw Israeli statements about American approval and coordination between the two countries, but afterward, Tel Aviv boasted that it was "a purely Israeli operation" led, planned, and executed by itself, amid estimates that Washington requested the withdrawal of any hint of its involvement.

The writer discussed the Katara neighborhood in Doha, explaining that it contains only 15 residential buildings, one of which houses the office of Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas leader, who also resides in the lower apartment of the building, while others from the movement live in luxurious villas "at Qatar's expense."

The newspaper added that negotiations regarding the hostages are now in jeopardy, questioning whether they would move exclusively to Egypt, or to one of the European countries, or enter into a "coma" that delays addressing the file.

It mentioned that Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani recently met with Hamas leadership in the emirate, where he urged them to respond positively to Trump's "final" plan, but the movement expressed reservations despite announcing its approval.

It pointed out that Qatar, similar to what Jordan did in 1997 after the assassination attempt on Khaled Mashal, announced its withdrawal from mediation, stating that it "stops its efforts."

Hamas announced the survival of its leadership from the targeting, but the fate of the negotiations remains unclear.

According to Yedioth, Israel was keen to emphasize that it did not attack Qatar as a state, but "Hamas on its territory," despite the absence of any commitments or agreements between them, noting that senior Israeli officials, including the head of the Mossad, the head of the Shin Bet, and three ministers, recently visited the emirate.

The newspaper concluded by referencing Qatar's strong condemnation of the attack, considering that the question raised is the position of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and whether he will withdraw from the "political game" or appear as a patron of Hamas, noting that the movement is disliked in Arab countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and even the UAE, which issued a statement strongly condemning the Ramot intersection attack in Jerusalem.
