Hamas reports deadly operations against 'Israeli' forces in Gaza
Hamas' military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, reported Monday several operations carried out by its fighters against the 'Israeli' military as battles in the Gaza Strip rage.
A gathering of 'Israeli' forces was hit with mortar shells – including 120mm and 60mm rounds – on May 31 east of Al-Qarara town, near Khan Younis in south Gaza.
Another military post was hit with three short-range 'Rajoum' rockets on the same day, according to the statement.
On Sunday, Al-Qassam said it struck an 'Israeli' D9 military bulldozer with a 'Yassin-105' anti-armor rocket in the Qizan Al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis.
In another incident in the same area, the group said it targeted an 'Israeli' tank with a 'Shawaz' explosive device and a 'Yassin 105' anti-armor round.
Yesterday, 'Israeli' defense minister said Sunday that he had ordered the army to push ahead with its fight on Gaza "regardless of any negotiations", after a US envoy called the group's latest response to a truce proposal unacceptable.
"I have instructed the IDF (military) to continue forward in Gaza against all targets, regardless of any negotiations", Israel Katz said in a statement.

Jordan, Morocco discuss economic cooperation
Ammon News - The Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) and Morocco's ambassador to Jordan, Fouad Akhrif, held a meeting to explore ways to enhance trade and investment cooperation between the two countries, citing the need for stronger institutional coordination and greater engagement between their private sectors. According to a statement by the Chamber, Chairman Khalil Al-Haj Tawfiq emphasized the strength of Jordanian-Moroccan relations and called for the development of deeper economic ties. He said current trade volumes do not reflect the potential of the bilateral relationship and pointed to limited delegation exchanges and coordination between chambers of commerce as key obstacles. Al-Haj Tawfiq proposed activating communication channels, improving the flow of investment and trade information, and establishing continuous networking platforms between the two business communities. He announced an agreement with Moroccan Member of Parliament Khadija Hajoubi to host an exhibition of traditional Moroccan crafts and products in Amman later this year. A twinning arrangement is also planned between the Amman Chamber of Commerce and the chamber in the Fès-Meknès region. He added that the Chamber is prepared to support Moroccan companies seeking entry into the Jordanian market and encouraged joint private-sector participation in reconstruction projects in Syria. He also described Morocco as a key gateway for Jordanian companies seeking access to African markets. Al-Haj Tawfiq stressed the importance of streamlined visa procedures and closer cooperation with the Moroccan Embassy to facilitate business travel and joint trade events. Ambassador Akhrif acknowledged the strength of political ties between Jordan and Morocco but noted that economic relations remain underdeveloped by comparison. He urged both sides to intensify efforts to realize their economic potential, citing Morocco's ongoing development across sectors. He proposed holding a business forum in Morocco to bring together companies from both countries, focusing on promising sectors that could support trade and investment partnerships. Akhrif also highlighted Morocco's investment opportunities and encouraged Jordanian businesses to leverage existing bilateral agreements and participate in trade missions. Chamber board members emphasized the need to implement and update bilateral agreements and memorandums of understanding, noting that deeper cooperation could lead to expanded trade, greater diversification of exchanged goods, and stronger collaboration in tourism, transportation, and logistics. They welcomed the planned resumption of direct flights between the two countries later this year, which they said would improve business mobility. However, they noted that the current sea freight route is inefficient due to its length and called for the development of faster, more reliable transport links.

Accusations of 'Supporting Terrorism' to Justify the Expulsion of Palestinians - Jordan News
It appears that the Israeli occupation considers the Gaza file 'closed' — now shifting its focus to a new phase of ethnic cleansing targeting Palestinians both within and beyond the 1948 territories. In a politically and security-motivated move with implications far beyond the Green Line, Israel began enforcing a new law in May 2025 allowing the revocation of citizenship and residency of Palestinians from the 1948 territories under the pretext of 'supporting terrorism.' اضافة اعلان This law's ramifications are not limited to Palestinians within Israel; it poses a broader threat to the West Bank, fueling a sense of fear and uncertainty among Palestinians and endangering their national and geographic future amid ongoing policies of displacement and cleansing. The connection between this law and the reality in the West Bank is evident in several critical aspects: First, the law legitimizes the principle of collective punishment and silent expulsion — a strategy long familiar to Palestinians since the Nakba of 1948. Legal deportation of Palestinians from within Israel parallels daily practices of the occupation in the West Bank, including arrests, forced displacement, and land confiscation. Together, they form a unified strategy to diminish the Palestinian presence, whether inside the state or in the occupied territories. Second, promoting 'national loyalty' as a criterion for citizenship revives and reinforces apartheid-style policies. It deepens the divide between Palestinians holding Israeli citizenship and those in the West Bank and Gaza, further weakening national unity in the face of occupation. Third, the law signals a dangerous shift in Israel's policy toward Palestinians. It's no longer just about direct security targeting, but also dismantling legal foundations that protect basic rights. This trend undermines stability in the West Bank, where many now feel the occupation is deliberately working to dismantle Palestinian social cohesion using oppressive legal tools. Amid growing tensions in the West Bank, such a law is likely to inflame popular anger and escalate resistance, potentially leading to a renewed cycle of violence. Palestinians view the law as a collective attack that reopens the wounds of forced displacement under the guise of security — a narrative increasingly hard to justify by any local or international authority. In conclusion, Israel's expulsion law targeting Palestinians of 1948 is far from an internal matter. It is part of a broader systemic effort by the occupation to dismantle Palestinian identity and presence everywhere. The Palestinian response must therefore be unified and coordinated — from within the 1948 territories to the West Bank — to confront these policies threatening the very existence and future of the Palestinian people. Now more than ever, the international community must step in to oppose these practices that blatantly violate international and humanitarian law, and which place all Palestinians under the threat of displacement and repression.
