Demonstrations in Global Cities condemn ongoing Zionist Aggression on Gaza
Massive demonstrations erupted today, Saturday, across several cities and capitals worldwide in condemnation of the ongoing Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), thousands took part in protests held in the French capital Paris, the Norwegian capital Oslo, the British city of Manchester, the German cities of Stuttgart, Bremen, and Wolfsburg, as well as Berlin, Milan in Italy, Aarhus and the capital Copenhagen in Denmark, and both Helsingborg and Stockholm in Sweden. The demonstrators expressed their solidarity with the Palestinian people and demanded an immediate ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Protesters raised Palestinian flags and signs denouncing the genocide committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people in Gaza. They also called for an end to double standards and demanded the prosecution of the Zionist entity for its massacres, especially those targeting children.
Palestinians in Gaza are facing an unprecedented wave of starvation following the Israeli regime's closure of all border crossings since early March. The blockade has severely restricted the entry of food, humanitarian aid, fuel, and medicine.
As time passes, residents of Gaza have exhausted all food resources, markets have emptied, and finding a piece of bread has become nearly impossible. The few remaining goods are being sold at skyrocketing prices, turning starvation into one of the most brutal and common causes of death in the strip.
With U.S. and European backing, the Israeli military has continued its genocidal campaign in Gaza since October 7, 2023. So far, it has killed 60,430 Palestinian civilians, the majority of them women and children, and wounded 148,722 others, in a still-incomplete toll, as thousands remain trapped under rubble or in unreachable areas.

'Islamic Jihad': Enemy's announcement of bringing tents into southern Gaza blatant mockery of international conventions
Gaza – Saba: The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine today, Saturday, condemned the announcement by the Israeli occupation army of bringing tents into southern Gaza as part of its brutal campaign to occupy Gaza City, describing it as a blatant and audacious mockery of international conventions and a flagrant violation of so-called UN institutions that claim to exist to protect civilians and safeguard the rights of people under occupation. In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement said that forcing the displacement of residents amid widespread suffering caused by starvation, massacres, and displacement constitutes a continuous crime against humanity. The statement emphasized that this criminal conduct in Gaza is inseparable from the daily crimes committed by the enemy in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces continue incursions, arrests, and raids amid escalating armed assaults by settler gangs who shoot Palestinians in the streets and neighborhoods, burn property, and threaten the lives of peaceful civilians under the direct protection of the occupation army. The movement added that these daily practices represent organized violence by the occupation and uncontrolled violence by the settlers, both converging on a single goal: expelling Palestinians from their land and depriving them of the most basic necessities of life. It also noted that the Israeli authorities have suspended the financial accounts of the Orthodox Church in Al-Quds, describing this as a step toward consolidating annexation , Judaization, a direct threat to Islamic , Christian holy sites and endowments in Palestine. The statement concluded: 'We are witnessing the complete exposure of the international community and its institutions, which limit themselves to repeated statements while the enemy continues to impose brutal facts on the ground. International silence regarding these crimes only encourages the criminal entity to persist in its aggressive policies, and it compels the conscious forces and free peoples around the world to raise their voices in rejection of these policies, demanding an end to aggression, settler terrorism, and support for the Palestinian people.'

Albanese: Gaza witnesses largest drop in life expectancy in modern history
New York – Saba: Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories in Gaza, stated that 'Gaza has witnessed the largest drop in life expectancy compared to any other place on Earth in modern history.' She clarified this in posts on the X platform today, Saturday, as reported by the Yemen News Agency (Saba), responding to those who say, 'It cannot be a genocide in Gaza because the Palestinian population is increasing.' Albanese confirmed that the United Nations' role in the Gaza Strip has been marginalized and weakened. She said, 'Despite the efforts of many, the UN has been marginalized, weakened, and paralyzed by politics,' adding: 'International law has been flagrantly violated. This can — and must — change.' She emphasized that 'people have power, no matter who they are or where they are. United, people are stronger. Nations are stronger.' Addressing Israeli soldiers, Albanese said: 'When you take off your military uniform, think about this: many of you are mere snipers shooting at civilians, often children, fleeing to save their lives, after your army has left them homeless, hungry, and orphaned.' She added: 'You are heading towards an abyss. It is never too late to stop this.' With U.S. and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued since October 7, 2023, committing crimes of genocide in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 61,897 Palestinian civilians, the majority children and women, and injuring 155,660 others to date, in a preliminary tally, with thousands of victims still trapped under rubble or in the streets, inaccessible to rescue and medical teams.

31 Arab, Muslim countries condemn Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel' goals
Foreign ministers from 31 Arab and Muslim nations, joined by the heads of the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), on Friday denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent comments on the so-called 'Greater Israel,' warning they endanger Arab national security and regional stability. "These statements represent a grave disregard for, and a blatant and dangerous violation of the rules of international law and the foundations of stable international relations,' they said in a joint statement. "They also constitute a direct threat to Arab national security, to the sovereignty of states, and to regional and international peace and security.' Netanyahu told news channel i24 on Tuesday that he feels "very attached' to the vision of a Greater Israel. He said he considers himself "on a historic and spiritual mission' which "generations of Jews that dreamt of coming here and generations of Jews who will come after us.' "Greater Israel' is a term used in Israeli politics to refer to the expansion of Israel's territory to include the West Bank, Gaza, and Syria's Golan Heights, with some interpretations also including Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and parts of Jordan. The bloc stressed that while member states remain committed to international legitimacy and the U.N. Charter on prohibiting the use or threat of force, they "will adopt all policies and measures that preserve peace, in a manner that serves the interests of all states and peoples.' The statement also condemned the approval by far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich of a new settlement building in the occupied West Bank and his rejection of a Palestinian state, calling this a "flagrant assault' on the Palestinian people's right to an independent, sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital. The bloc reiterated that Israel has no sovereignty over any part of the occupied Palestinian territories and denounced all Israeli settlement activities as violations of international law and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2334. It reaffirmed the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which found Israel's occupation illegal and called for its immediate end. The statement warned of the "grave dangers' of Israel's expansionist policies in the West Bank, including daily incursions into Palestinian towns and refugee camps, settler violence, and attacks on Christian and Muslim holy sites, particularly Al-Aqsa Mosque. These actions, the ministers said, fuel the cycle of violence and hinder prospects for peace. The bloc also condemned "Israel's crimes of aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing' in the Gaza Strip and reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access, and an end to the blockade, which has created famine-like conditions and collapsed Gaza's healthcare system. They categorically rejected any plans to displace Palestinians "under any pretext' and held Israel fully responsible as the occupying power for the humanitarian catastrophe in the enclave. Emphasizing that Gaza is an integral part of the occupied Palestinian lands, the bloc voiced support for the State of Palestine to assume full governance over Gaza and the West Bank under a unified authority, within the political program of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
