Jordan condemns Israel's resumption of "land registration" in West Bank
Ammon News - Jordan reaffirmed its rejection and condemnation of Israel's decision, as the occupying power, to resume the so-called "settlement of land and property rights" process, particularly in Area "C" of the occupied West Bank.
The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs described the move as a blatant violation of international law and a continuation of efforts to impose Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory.
The ministry's official spokesperson, Ambassador Sufyan Qudah, stressed that the resumption of this policy contradicts international legitimacy and United Nations Security Council resolutions, especially Resolution 2334.
This resolution condemns all Israeli measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the occupied Palestinian territory since 1967, including East Jerusalem. It also affirms that all Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law.
Furthermore, Qudah referenced the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which confirmed the illegality of the Israeli occupation, settlements, and annexation of occupied Palestinian land, emphasizing that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory.
Ambassador Qudah called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities by compelling Israel to immediately halt its aggression on Gaza and its dangerous escalation in the occupied West Bank.
He urged the international community to provide the necessary protection for the Palestinian people, stop the crimes committed against them, hold those responsible accountable, and support the Palestinian people's legitimate right to establish their independent, sovereign state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

'Israel' prepares prison cells for Madleen activists, Spain summons diplomat
Israeli Occupation's chargé d'affaires in Madrid was summoned Monday by the Spanish Foreign Ministry for a formal reprimand, according to Hebrew Channel 7. Earlier today, 'Israeli' forces raided the vessel off the coast of Gaza. The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was carrying international activists aiming to break the ongoing blockade on the Palestinian territory. The coalition reported losing contact with the ship after 'Israeli' soldiers boarded it. Footage from the scene showed 'Israeli' naval boats and low-flying drones circling the vessel. Hebrew media later confirmed all passengers were detained and the ship was towed to Ashdod Port. Israeli Occupation's prison service announced that Givon Prison in Ramla is prepared to receive the activists. According to Israel Hayom, the facility has set up separate cells, following instructions from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir to prohibit communication devices, radios, televisions, and any Palestinian symbols.

Algerian-led humanitarian convoy departs for Gaza to break 'Israeli' siege
A major solidarity convoy named 'The First Convoy of Steadfastness' set off Sunday morning from Algiers toward the besieged Gaza Strip, as part of the 'Algerian Initiative to Support Palestine and Aid Gaza.' The convoy includes over 200 activists and supporters, including Algerian parliamentarians and diplomats, reflecting both popular and official support for the Palestinian cause. The mission aims to break the ongoing 'Israeli' siege on Gaza and demand an end to the months-long bombardment that has caused an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. The convoy departed from the headquarters of the 'Generation of Balance Academy' and is led by Sheikh Yahya Sari, a member of the Algerian Association of Muslim Scholars. It will first head to Tunisia to join a Tunisian convoy, before continuing through Libya and Egypt to reach the Rafah border crossing. 'This is a message to the people of Gaza: You are not alone,' Sheikh Sari said in a Facebook post. 'We share your pain, and this is a form of public pressure against the occupier in the face of international failure to stop the massacres.' Political and Humanitarian Message The convoy represents more than a humanitarian gesture. Organizers say it is also a political and moral message against Israeli Occupation's blockade of Gaza, which has led to severe shortages in food and medicine, and the destruction of infrastructure. Wael Nouar, the convoy's spokesperson, said the broader initiative involves more than 7,000 participants from across the Maghreb - Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, and Mauritania - and aims to pressure for the opening of the Rafah crossing and delivery of aid currently stockpiled in Egypt's Al-Arish. Facing Challenges The convoy is expected to face complex logistical and political challenges, especially given Israeli Occupation's control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing and coordination hurdles with Egyptian authorities. Organizers said the convoy would remain at the border for 2–5 days in an attempt to gain entry, with coordination support from international bodies such as the Global March to Gaza and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. Some reports warn that 'Israel' may attempt to use the convoy to promote a misleading narrative about "open humanitarian corridors," despite restricting real access to aid. Maghreb and Global Solidarity The convoy is part of a broader wave of international support, with delegations from 42 countries—by land, air, and sea—joining the movement. Salahuddin Al-Masri, a Tunisian organizer, said the initiative reflects the 'will of the people of the Maghreb to stand with Palestine.' This comes amid dire warnings from the UN and humanitarian organizations that famine is threatening over two million Palestinians in Gaza. UNICEF reports that 92% of children under two and breastfeeding mothers suffer from severe malnutrition. Cry for Help Amid Catastrophe The convoy comes at a time when Gaza is experiencing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis; ongoing bombardment, mass displacement, and acute shortages of basic necessities. Since March 2025, Israeli Occupation has reportedly blocked aid entry, intensifying the suffering of civilians, particularly children, who are described by UNICEF as 'going to bed starving.'
