Fattouh: Occupation's massacre of Khader family in Jabalia crime of genocide against humanity
Palestinian National Council Chairman Rawhi Fattouh has affirmed that the Israeli occupation's massacre of the Khader family in Jabalia camp, which claimed the lives of more than 40 martyrs, including doctors, engineers, academics, and children, is a crime of genocide against humanity and a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing aimed at erasing Palestinian families from the civil registry, a scene reminiscent of the most horrific crimes in modern history.
Fattouh explained in a statement issued by the Palestinian National Council on Saturday: "We remind the world that self-defense does not involve killing and wounding more than 50,000 children, destroying homes over their residents, or erasing Palestinian families from the civil registry. These crimes represent the height of organized terrorism practiced by the criminal terrorist government."
He pointed out that the United States bears direct responsibility for the continuation of these massacres through its political and diplomatic protection of the terrorist government and its repeated obstruction of any Security Council resolutions aimed at halting the aggression and imposing accountability. Fattouh emphasized that this blatant American bias not only prolongs the war, but also directly encourages the commission of further crimes and undermines any hope of achieving justice or peace in the region.
He concluded by saying that the international community's silence in the face of these crimes amounts to complicity in the crime. Security and stability will not be achieved as long as the Israeli killing machine operates unchecked and as long as the major powers collude through silence or political cover, contenting themselves with verbal statements for 608 days, during which tens of thousands of innocent victims have been victims.

Al-Quds Brigades strike Be'eri & Shokidah settlements , Israeli soldiers & equipment
Gaza – Saba: Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, announced today, Sunday, that it had targeted the Be'eri and Shokidah settlements in the Gaza envelope and struck Israeli soldiers and military equipment north of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. In two separate statements received by the Yemen News Agency (Saba), the Brigades said: 'We shelled the Be'eri and Shokidah settlements in the Gaza envelope with several rockets in response to the crimes of the Israeli enemy against our people.' They added: 'This afternoon, we fired mortar shells (60mm caliber) at concentrations of Israeli soldiers and equipment advancing along Street 5, north of Khan Younis.' This action comes as part of the Palestinian resistance factions' response to what they describe as the Israeli enemy's acts of mass killing against the residents of Gaza, supported by the United States, since October 7, 2023. These acts include killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, disregarding international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt them.

General People's Congress condemns Israeli attack on Hazeez Power Station
Sana'a - Saba: The General People's Congress strongly condemned what it described as a cowardly Israeli attack on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the party denounced the targeting of the Hazeez Power Station, which resulted in the facility going out of service and deprived residents of the capital and nearby areas of essential electricity needed for hospitals, water pumps, and other vital public services. The statement affirmed that such aggressions will not deter the Yemeni people from their steadfast support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, nor from rejecting what it called Israel's genocidal war crimes, systematic starvation policies, and attempts to forcibly displace Gaza's residents in pursuit of eliminating the Palestinian cause — a goal the people of Gaza and the resilient Palestinian nation will ultimately thwart. The General People's Congress also renewed its criticism of global silence toward Israeli crimes, whether against the people of Gaza or through attacks on Yemen's infrastructure and public facilities, describing such acts as flagrant violations of international law and humanitarian norms. The party's statement further called on the United Nations and international organizations to assume their responsibilities and exert pressure on Israel to halt its crimes against Gaza's population , its targeting of Yemen's infrastructure and public utilities, stressing that this falls squarely within their legal obligations.
