Palestinian Red Crescent Society: We facing difficulty communicating with teams in Gaza due to interruption of internet, telecommunications services
Gaza - Saba: The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has announced that it is facing significant difficulty communicating with its teams in the Gaza Strip due to the complete interruption of internet and landline services in the Strip, following the direct targeting of communication lines by Israeli forces. The Society explained in a brief statement on Thursday that the Emergency Operations Room is also facing difficulty coordinating with other organizations to respond to humanitarian emergencies. The Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission announced today that all internet and landline services in the Gaza Strip had been interrupted after the last main fiber route was targeted. The Commission warned of the humanitarian and social consequences of the interruption, calling on all relevant local and international bodies to intervene urgently to facilitate the implementation of the necessary arrangements. This would enable technical teams to safely access fault sites and carry out the required repairs. The continued interruption exacerbates the communications crisis and prolongs the isolation imposed on the Strip. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Failure to Pass bill to dissolve Israeli enemy Knesset
Occupied al-Quds - Saba: The Israeli opposition failed to pass a bill to dissolve the Knesset, which was voted on early Thursday morning. 61 MKs opposed the bill, while 53 supported it. According to Israeli sources, the vote was divided within the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism bloc. MKs from the Agudat Yisrael party voted in favor of the bill, while MKs from Degel HaTorah, a member of the bloc, opposed it. This move followed a dispute over a bill to draft more ultra-Orthodox Jews into military service. On June 25, 2024, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that military service would be compulsory for Jews (Haredi) and that financial support for religious institutions whose students refuse to be drafted would be suspended.
