NBA star Kyrie Irving memorializes Gaza's youngest activist as his profile picture
NBA star Kyrie Irving drew attention to the ongoing violence in Gaza by changing his Instagram profile photo to honor Yaqeen Hammad, an 11-year-old Palestinian child who was killed in an 'Israeli' airstrike. Yaqeen, recognized as Gaza's youngest media activist, was killed on May 24, 2025, during an airstrike in the besieged enclave. Her work documenting daily life under the aggression had gained her recognition for raising awareness of the situation facing children in Gaza. Irving's advocacy for Palestine is not new. The NBA star has consistently used his visibility to address the conflict, often at the cost of facing criticism. Throughout his career, he has made symbolic gestures, such as wearing a keffiyeh, during games and post-game press conferences, as well as donning jewelry featuring the map of Palestine and a key, symbolizing the right of return for Palestinian refugees.

Netanyahu claims success in preventing Palestinian state "despite pressure"
During a visit to the West Bank settlement of Ofra to mark its 50th anniversary, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted that he has fulfilled his long-standing promise to block the establishment of a Palestinian state. Recalling a visit to the settlement 25 years ago, Netanyahu said, 'We would do everything to ensure our continued hold on the Land of Israel, to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, to thwart the attempts that existed then, and unfortunately still exist, to try to uproot us from here. Thank God, what I promised, we kept.' Netanyahu emphasized the pressures 'Israel' faced over the years, noting, 'Pressures from home, pressures from abroad, a series of American presidents who wanted to uproot us and to establish a Palestinian state here. We stood firm together. We upheld the promise of the generations.'

Escalating provocations: Israeli settlers perform Talmudic rituals inside Al-Aqsa mosque
ALBAWABA - Sunday morning, groups of Israeli settlers broke into the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa Mosque while being backed up by highly armed occupation forces. They performed Talmudic rituals that Palestinian sources said were offensive. Witnesses in Jerusalem said that dozens of settlers came in groups, where priests gave talks about the supposed "Temple." In the meantime, occupation forces put up tight military barriers at the gates of the mosques and throughout the Old City, making it harder for Palestinian worshipers to get in and out. Calls for mobilization and more incursions The latest raid comes after larger ones two weeks ago, when more than 4,700 settlers, including Israeli ministers and members of the Knesset, entered Al-Aqsa during the Jewish holiday of Passover and performed religious practices and waved Israeli flags. In reaction, activists in Jerusalem called on Palestinians in the city and across the occupied interior to join forces and stay at the mosque to stop the plans by the settlers. They stressed how important it was for everyone to pray at Al-Aqsa and said that this was a realistic way to fight Israeli efforts to cut down on the number of worshipers and separate the site from its religious and social surroundings. Reactions in politics and religion Haroun Nasser Al-Din, head of Jerusalem affairs for Hamas and a member of the political bureau, said that the rising movements of settlers were part of an overall Israeli plan to "Judaize" Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem and take full control over them. Putting up provocative dances, adding Torah symbols, and destroying graves at Bab Al-Rahma Cemetery, he said, showed "the criminal face of settler gangs" working with the help of the far-right Israeli government. Nasser Al-Din said that tearing down Palestinian houses in Jerusalem and projects to make the city more Jewish will not change the minds of Jerusalemites. He also said that plans to annex and move the people will fail in the end, even though Israel's attacks are getting worse. He asked Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians all over the world to do more to protect Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem. Rising violence between settlers in the West Bank In the meantime, on Sunday, Israeli settlers attacked in a violent way all over the occupied West Bank. Settlers in Ramallah threw rocks at Palestinian cars near Turmus Ayya, damaging several of them. In the northern Jordan Valley, they broke water tanks and pipes that brought water to Palestinian villages. Settlers in Jericho let animals graze on Palestinian houses and farmland in the Al-Auja area. This stopped the people who lived there from grazing their animals and trying to take control of the land.
