For the second time, the people of Gaza and the north have returned to fleeing towards the southern areas, after their return following the agreement of January 19, 2025, which stipulated the return of the displaced to the northern camps and the cities of Gaza from which they were expelled since the beginning of the war and the ground invasion.

Doctors Without Borders indicated that more than a million people in Gaza are facing renewed terror after receiving urgent orders to evacuate the city.

It explained that escape is impossible for many elderly individuals, pregnant women, critical cases, and the injured, and that those who remain in Gaza have been sentenced to death by the Israeli army, while intense shelling chases those who attempt to flee.

The Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced that military operations will continue with a "strong dynamic" to achieve two main objectives: "final resolution and the elimination of Hamas," and to ensure "the return of all captives."

On the diplomatic front, Netanyahu revealed his intention to use his upcoming speech before the United Nations General Assembly in New York to present the occupation's narrative of the conflict.

He clarified that his speech will not be limited to the military aspect alone, but will also present "the entity's vision for true peace," which he emphasized must be "rooted in strength."

The Palestinian Authority for Prisoners and Released Prisoners warned on Sunday of the repercussions of the Israeli 'Gilboa' prison administration's denial of treatment to three Palestinian detainees.

This came in a statement from the authority after its lawyer visited several sick Palestinian prisoners in the prison located in northern Israel.

The authority stated that 'the prisoner Bilal Othman (48 years old) from the town of Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah (northern West Bank), suffers from chronic kidney disease and has one kidney due to an injury sustained in 1994. He complains of blood clotting and gout.'

It explained that Othman, 'who has been detained since 2002 and sentenced to 15 life sentences and an additional 35 years, contracted scabies and suffers from severe itching, and boils have begun to appear. The prison administration refuses to provide him with the necessary treatment.'

The authority pointed out that 'prisoner Othman was burned by the guards, as hot water was poured on his left hand. He also suffers from a broken ring finger on his left hand, as the prison's suppression unit stormed the room, beat everyone inside, and struck him with an iron rod on his back, legs, and arms, which led to his finger being broken, and no treatment was provided to him.'

It highlighted the suffering of prisoner Muhammad Daraghmeh (34 years old) from Tubas, who suffers from scabies and severe itching, and complains of pain from herniated discs in his back and neck, having lost about 15 kilograms of weight.

It stated that prisoner Muhammad Sarhan (25 years old) from the Far'a camp south of Tubas, who is held administratively, suffers from scabies, severe itching, and the spread of boils in various parts of his body.

On Wednesday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club stated that Israeli prison administrations have expanded their use of electric shocks and rubber bullets against Palestinian prisoners in their jails, amid the spread of scabies in the Negev and Ofer prisons.

This came in a statement from the club, based on visits conducted by its lawyers to dozens of Palestinian prisoners, including children and women, in seven Israeli prisons during the first half of September.

Following visits to more than 20 detainees in the Negev prison, the club stated that 'most of them either contracted scabies and are still suffering from its effects, or have relapsed after recovery.'

Alongside the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army has intensified its operations in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, while Israeli settlers have escalated their attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,042 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,160 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 19,000, according to official Palestinian data.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,283 deaths and 166,575 injuries, most of whom are children and women, along with a famine that has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported 5 deaths due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours.

This raises the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition to 447 martyrs, including 147 children.

Since the declaration of famine classification in the Gaza Strip by the (IPC) on August 22, 2025, 162 deaths have been recorded, including 32 children.

The Israeli occupation forces arrested a group of citizens from the city of Hebron this morning, Sunday, while they assaulted another citizen physically and stormed the towns of Sa'ir, Al-Shuyukh, and Beit Kahil.

According to local sources, "the occupation forces stormed the southern area of Hebron and arrested Ahmad Sharif Nasr Ghaith, and Hamam Ibrahim Rashid Abu Hamdiyeh Ghaith, and detained the citizen Muhammad Nour Al-Din Abu Turki after assaulting him."

Additionally, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the towns of Al-Shuyukh, Sa'ir, and Beit Kahil, without recording any arrests.

Meanwhile, the occupation army arrested the mayor of Qarawat Bani Hassan, Ibrahim Asi, on Saturday evening, west of Salfit city in the northern West Bank, along with another Palestinian during a raid on the village.

Local sources reported that "the occupation forces arrested the mayor of Qarawat Bani Hassan, Ibrahim Asi," while other sources indicated that "the army also arrested a bulldozer driver named Ghaleb Rayan and confiscated a bulldozer and a crane during the raid."

Moreover, the same sources highlighted that the Israeli occupation forces also placed an iron gate and concrete blocks at the entrance of the village, which narrowed the road and made it difficult for vehicles to pass in both directions.

In a related context, the Israeli occupation army had previously arrested: the mayor of the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah (central), Amin Abu Aliya, on August 23, and released him after 9 days, then the mayor of Hebron, Taysir Abu Sneina, who was arrested on September 2 and transferred to administrative detention (based on a secret file and without trial).

The third is the mayor of the village of Al-Qubeiba, northwest of Jerusalem, Nafez Hamouda, who was arrested on September 10 and released the same day, followed by Abdul Fattah Abu Ali, the mayor of the town of Silat al-Dhahr, south of Jenin (north), who was arrested on September 11 and released the same day.

With American support, the Israeli occupation forces have been continuing since October 7, 2023, to carry out a genocide against the entire besieged Gaza Strip, resulting in 65,208 deaths and 166,271 injuries, most of whom are children and women, not to mention a famine that claimed the lives of 440 Palestinians, including 147 children.

The Israeli occupation authorities handed over a released prisoner from Jerusalem today, Sunday, a decision to ban him from the Al-Aqsa Mosque for a period of 6 months.

Local sources reported that the occupation authorities informed the released prisoner Murad Alyan from the Ras Al-Amoud neighborhood of the decision to ban him from Al-Aqsa, noting that the occupation forces released him last month after a detention that lasted 22 months.

The occupation forces also stormed the home of the young man Amir Abu Snaineh in the town of Al-Issawiya to the north, searched it, and handed him a summons for interrogation at the "Qishla" center in Old Jerusalem.

The Israeli army killed 6 Palestinians and injured others since dawn on Sunday, in sporadic attacks on the Gaza Strip, coinciding with the detonation of houses with explosive robots in the northern and southern neighborhoods of Gaza City.

According to eyewitnesses and medical sources, the Israeli attacks targeted homes and gatherings of civilians in various areas of the strip.

In downtown Gaza, 5 Palestinians were killed and others were injured in an Israeli bombardment that targeted a house belonging to the 'Al-Haddad' family near the Al-Shaab intersection.

In a historic diplomatic shift, both Britain and Portugal intend to officially recognize the State of Palestine today, Sunday, in a coordinated move that challenges the pressures from Washington and Tel Aviv, and comes ahead of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

The decision by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's government represents a radical change in Britain's policy, and this announcement fulfills a pledge made by Starmer last July to recognize the State of Palestine if Tel Aviv did not take "substantial steps" to stop the war in Gaza.

Major British media reported that the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and the expansion of settlements prompted the government to activate this decision today.

British Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy attributed the decision to the "dangerous expansion we are witnessing in the West Bank," specifically referring to the "E1" settlement project that threatens to divide the West Bank and severely undermines the chances of implementing a two-state solution.

This move by London coincides with the announcement from the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday that Lisbon will also recognize the State of Palestine today, justifying its decision by the "very concerning developments in the conflict."

This comes ahead of a crucial summit scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, where around ten other countries, including France, are expected to announce their official recognition of Palestine.

Amid the Gaza war and the humanitarian crisis, this diplomatic momentum arises as the occupying army continues its intensive assault on the Gaza Strip, which has so far resulted in the martyrdom of more than 65,000 Palestinians, most of whom are civilians.

The disaster is exacerbated by the United Nations' official declaration of famine in the sector, and a UN investigative committee accusing the Israeli occupation of committing "genocide," charges that Tel Aviv denies.

These moves have been met with rejection and anger from the Israeli occupation, with the Prime Minister of the occupying government, Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing the British Prime Minister of "rewarding terrorism."

With the addition of Britain and Portugal, the number of countries recognizing Palestine rises to 147 out of 193 UN member states, increasing the isolation of the Israeli occupation on the international stage.

The occupying army announces the demolition of up to 20 residential towers over the past two weeks. For ten years, Palestinian employee Shadi Salama Al-Rais has been repaying a loan of $93,000 to purchase his apartment in the Al-Mushtaha tower, one of the high-rise buildings in an upscale neighborhood of Gaza City. Now, he and his family are living in abject poverty after an Israeli airstrike turned the entire building into a pile of rubble in an instant.

Al-Rais's story is not unique; rather, it reflects a systematic demolition campaign that raises serious concerns among Palestinians and the United Nations that it aims for the permanent displacement of the city's residents, which could amount to "ethnic cleansing."

The attack on the Al-Mushtaha tower on September 5 marked the beginning of an intensive destruction campaign carried out by the occupying army, targeting high-rise buildings in preparation for a ground assault on the heart of the city. Over the past two weeks, the occupying army has announced the demolition of up to 20 residential towers, while the occupying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that 50 "terrorist towers" have been demolished.

Hundreds of people organized a protest last night in the town of "Hadžigi" near the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, condemning the genocide being perpetrated by the occupation in the Gaza Strip.

The participants raised banners that read: "Stop the genocide," and placed children's toys, women's scarves, and symbolic shoes in the parks to represent the women, children, and the elderly who have been killed by the occupation in Gaza.

The event was organized by the Palestine Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in collaboration with the "ASUS" Association for Cooperation and Environment, and the Bosnian-Palestinian Friendship Association, where the word "Genocide" was displayed on the Palestinian flag.

The demonstrators also raised banners that said "Free Palestine" and "Life for Children," calling on the international community to take concrete and immediate steps to stop the crimes against civilians in Gaza.

Medical sources announced that the death toll since dawn today, Sunday, has risen to 31 dead.

Twenty-six martyrs arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital, two martyrs at the Arab National Hospital "Baptist," one martyr at Al-Awda Hospital, and three martyrs at Nasser Hospital.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 65,208 dead and 166,271 injured, most of whom are children and women, in a preliminary toll, as there are still a number of victims under the rubble and in the streets, and rescue teams cannot reach them.

The Israeli army arrested the mayor of Qarawat Bani Hassan, Ibrahim Asi, on Saturday evening, west of Salfit city in the northern occupied West Bank, along with another Palestinian during a raid on the village.

Palestine TV reported that the occupation forces arrested the mayor of Qarawat Bani Hassan, Ibrahim Asi. A local agency also reported that the army arrested a bulldozer driver named Ghaleb Rayan and confiscated a bulldozer and a crane during the incursion.

The reason for the arrest was attributed to an attempt to remove a concrete block that the army had placed at the entrance of the town, which caused traffic accidents and obstructed traffic flow.

It was noted that the Israeli forces also placed an iron gate and concrete blocks at the entrance of the village, which narrowed the road and made it difficult for vehicles to pass in both directions.

Asi is the fifth mayor to be arrested by the Israeli army in the West Bank within a month. The mayor of the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, Amin Abu Aliya, was arrested on August 23, released after 9 days, then the mayor of Hebron, Taysir Abu Sneina, who was arrested on September 2 and transferred to administrative detention.

The third is the mayor of the village of Qabiba, northwest of Jerusalem, Nafez Hamouda, who was arrested on September 10 and released the same day, followed by Abdul Fattah Abu Ali, the mayor of Silat al-Dhahr, south of Jenin, who was arrested on September 11 and released the same day.

Alongside the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli army has intensified its operations in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, while Israeli settlers have escalated their attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 1,042 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,160 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 19,000, according to official Palestinian data.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,208 deaths and 166,271 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and famine that has claimed the lives of 440 Palestinians, including 147 children.

In a move that represents a serious escalation in the political persecution campaign against Palestinian voices within the 48 territories, Israeli occupation authorities arrested former Knesset member and prominent political figure, Haneen Zoabi, from her home in Nazareth on Sunday morning.

The occupation police charged her with "incitement to terrorism" based on her positions opposing the ongoing genocide against the Gaza Strip.

According to human rights sources, Zoabi's arrest comes after she published an opinion piece last week, in which she strongly criticized the occupation's aggression against Gaza, asserting that resistance to occupation is a legitimate right for peoples living under it.

The Israeli occupation army announced today, Sunday, a complete closure of the occupied West Bank and the deployment of two additional battalions, under the pretext of securing the celebrations of the Jewish New Year.

These heightened measures come at a politically sensitive time, coinciding with the preparations of about 11 countries, mostly European, to officially recognize the State of Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly meetings this week.

The complete closure of the West Bank, which includes all crossings and main entrances, will begin tomorrow morning, Monday, and will last until Wednesday evening.

The Israeli occupation forces arrested five citizens from the villages of Nablus Governorate early this Sunday morning.

Local and security sources reported that occupation vehicles stormed the villages of Sebastia in the northwest of Nablus, Azmout and Beit Furik in the east, Aourif and Qusra in the south, and Tal in the southwest of Nablus. They raided several homes, searched them, tampered with their contents, and arrested three released prisoners: Qutaiba Abdul Karim Azem from Sebastia, Musab Malit from Beit Furik, and Hussam al-Din Adnan Ishtiyeh from Tal.

The same sources added that the occupation forces arrested the citizens Muqdad Samir Ouni from Aourif and Nadim Wajih Abu Reida from Qusra.

The Italian authorities have decided to exclude Israel from participating in the international tourism fair "TTG Travel Experience 2025," scheduled to be held in Rimini from October 8 to 10, following pressure from the city's municipality due to the ongoing Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The Mayor of Rimini, Jamil Sadghoulwad, explained that the decision was made due to security concerns and the risk of protests and growing tensions in Italy because of the aggression against Gaza, noting that allowing Israel's participation would turn the event into a large protest venue.

For its part, the organizing company of the fair, Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), announced that the conditions for the participation of the Israeli tourism authority are no longer valid, confirming that Israel's presence in the exhibition halls has become "morally and professionally inappropriate" in light of the ongoing war and destruction in Gaza.

Israeli occupation forces arrested four citizens today, Sunday, from the Bethlehem governorate.

Security sources reported that the occupation forces arrested: Abdullah Barakat Abu Najma from the Abu Anjeem area southeast of Bethlehem, Mustafa Suleiman Abiyat from Wadi Shaheen, Muhammad Abu Farwa from the city, and Muhammad Ayman Kanaan from the Karkafa area, after raiding and searching their homes.

The same sources added that the occupation forces handed Muhammad Ibrahim Abu Ahoor a summons to review their intelligence after raiding and searching his home in the Abu Anjeem area.

Israeli occupation forces arrested seven citizens from northern Tulkarem early this Sunday morning.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces arrested the following individuals: Mujahid Burhan Shadid, Muhammad Sultan Malah from the town of Alar, released prisoner Thaer Zain Al-Ashqar, Abdul Wael Al-Ashqar, Walid Raddad and his son Ibrahim, and Saddam Hassan Raddad from the town of Saida, after raiding and searching their homes.

The Hamas movement stated on Saturday that the Israeli occupation army is using explosive-laden drones carrying tons of explosives with the aim of exterminating civilians and destroying residential neighborhoods in Gaza City, as part of the genocide it has been committing in the sector for nearly two years.

It added in a statement that "the occupation army drives the explosive-laden vehicles deep into residential neighborhoods and then detonates them to create the widest area of destruction and killing," indicating that human rights organizations have documented the detonation of about 120 vehicles in one week, loaded with hundreds of tons of explosives.

The Hamas statement confirmed that "the world is witnessing horrific crimes committed by the war criminal government (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, including the attempt to destroy Gaza City and displace its residents under the weight of massacres and bombardment, and the use of various means of killing and extermination, foremost among them the explosive drones."

It also called on the international community, Arab and Islamic countries, and international institutions to "take immediate action to stop these crimes and take practical steps to deter the occupation and hold its leaders accountable for what they have committed against the Palestinian people and humanity."

For its part, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated in a statement that the occupation army detonates more than 17 explosive-laden vehicles daily in Gaza City, "each of which is equivalent to an earthquake of 3.7 degrees on the Richter scale."

The monitor, based in Geneva, clarified that "the Israeli occupation army detonated about 120 explosive-laden vehicles carrying approximately 840 tons of explosives among the residential homes in Gaza City during the past week."

The Israeli occupation continues its intensive bombardment of neighborhoods in Gaza City, especially the western areas crowded with displaced persons coming from the eastern neighborhoods after the extensive destruction carried out by the Israeli forces there, coinciding with the execution of demolition operations of residential facilities in the northwestern neighborhoods.

On the eighth of last month, the Israeli government approved a plan proposed by Netanyahu to gradually reoccupy the Gaza Strip entirely, starting with Gaza City, which is home to about one million Palestinians.

With American support, the occupying state has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,208 martyrs and 166,271 injured, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that claimed the lives of 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.

The settlement expert Khalil Tafkaji stated that the Israeli occupation is working to geographically dismantle Palestinian cities and villages in the West Bank by subjecting residents to security permits that restrict their daily activities, noting that the imposition of permits for entering villages in occupied Jerusalem is part of the preparation for expulsion.

It is mentioned that the Israeli occupation forces have imposed on the residents of the towns of "Beit Iksa," "Nabi Samuel," and "Al-Khalayla neighborhood," northwest of occupied Jerusalem, the requirement to obtain permits to enter them, while continuing their incursions into several areas in the occupied West Bank, and carrying out extensive raids and arrests.

Based on this decision, those without a permit will not be able to cross the military checkpoint at the entrances to the three villages, in a move to subject them to occupation control, and to consider their residents as inhabitants rather than landowners.

Tafkaji clarified that no one will be able to enter the Palestinian village of "Beit Iksa," located in the northwest of Jerusalem, except after obtaining security approval from the Israeli sovereign authorities, which complicates the ability of Palestinians from other villages to visit their relatives or acquaintances from the village.

As for the village of "Nabi Samuel," which has a population of no more than 150 residents, Tafkaji noted in his statements the history of the village, which was turned into a nature reserve after being destroyed by the Israeli occupation in 1972, and then its lands, which amounted to about 3,500 dunams, were confiscated in 1995.

The village of "Al-Khalayla," a small population center surrounded by Israeli settlements, is also subjected to what the settlement expert described as a "process of expulsion," and it is now "under complete Israeli military sovereignty."

Tafkaji describes the scene in Al-Khalayla as a "miniature scenario of what will soon happen in the West Bank," as the occupation exerts the utmost forms of pressure on the village residents in carrying out their daily activities.

According to the expert, a Palestinian residing in the village must obtain two permits, one when leaving his workplace and another when leaving his residence.

Regarding the coincidence of the Israeli decision concerning the three villages with the start of United Nations talks that will witness recognition of the Palestinian state scheduled for next Monday, the settlement expert ruled out that the occupation's measures are a calculated step to place obstacles in front of the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Tafkaji explained that any recognition of the Palestinian state now does not bring anything new to the Palestinian cause, affirming that the occupation has indeed managed to restrict this state and build its settlements on it, clarifying that the Israeli occupation has created geographical gaps between Palestinian cities and villages, especially in the West Bank.

Istanbul will host the sixth international conference of the European Academy of Islamic Finance and Economics (EIFE) on September 26 and 27, under the title "Reconstruction in Islamic Economics between Heritage and Modernity," with the participation of more than 40 scholars and researchers from several Arab and Islamic countries.

EIFE stated in a press release on Sunday that the conference, scheduled to be held at the Islamic Economics Center at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University, will feature a select group of academics, researchers, and experts in Islamic economics from around the world, in addition to representatives from financial institutions, civil society organizations, and decision-makers interested in issues of reconstruction and sustainable development.

The President of the European Academy of Islamic Finance and Economics, Ashraf Douaba, said in a press statement that the conference "takes place at a critical moment, as the challenges facing reconstruction efforts in Arab and Islamic countries that have experienced wars and disasters are increasing, especially in Gaza, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Turkey, and Afghanistan."

Douaba added: "The conference also aims to provide practical solutions and innovative visions based on the values and effective tools of Islamic economics, clarifying that 'the conference pays special attention to the issue of reconstructing Gaza, considering it a living model of the suffering of communities under siege and wars.'

He explained, "We have allocated scientific sessions to discuss the reconstruction of Gaza as a religious obligation and an economic necessity, and to explore the role of sukuk, endowments, and Islamic financial institutions in financing reconstruction projects and maximizing their developmental impact in the sector."

The conference will feature 40 scholars and researchers from several Arab and Islamic countries, including the President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars Ali Qaradaghi, Professor of Economics at Alexandria University Abdul Rahman Yousri, President of the European Academy of Islamic Finance and Economics Ashraf Douaba, and President of Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University Ahmed Jawat Aja.

It is noteworthy that the European Academy of Islamic Finance and Economics is an institution that provides continuous education, training, consulting, research, and arbitration services in the field of Islamic finance and economics, in both the United Kingdom and Turkey.

The academy held its fifth international conference titled: "Islamic Economics and the Turkish Renaissance in the Second Century," in May 2024, with the participation of 30 scholars and researchers in economics and Islamic finance from 15 countries.

An article published by a newspaper estimated that the war against the Gaza Strip is doomed to failure, despite what appears to be military superiority on the ground, emphasizing that "Israel" is paying a heavy price on various political, strategic, social, and economic levels.

Professor Boaz Ganor, head of "Reichman University," mentioned that the "Iron Swords" war, which erupted following the attack on October 7, 2023, began as a "justified" war but turned into a costly and destructive optional war.

Ganor added that while "Israel" may seem militarily superior in Gaza, it is suffering a resounding defeat on all other strategic levels, explaining that each additional day of fighting imposes a heavy toll.

The Palestinian community in Austria organized, today Saturday, in collaboration with about 70 Austrian institutions, organizations, activists, civil society institutions, and charitable associations, and with the participation of the State of Palestine's mission to Austria, a mass demonstration that is the largest of its kind in terms of popular participation.

It was attended by tens of thousands, in an unprecedented scene in the Austrian capital. The event began with a series of speeches in front of "Christian Broda" square, and the demonstration proceeded towards the famous "Mariahilfer" street, reaching the Austrian parliament.

The event concluded with the participation of tens of thousands of demonstrators, raising the Palestinian flag and holding banners expressing their rejection of the war on Gaza, condemning the genocide against the Palestinian people, and demanding an end to the occupation, the achievement of freedom and independence, and recognition of the Palestinian state.

The organizers emphasized that this historic mass movement reflects a deep shift in Austrian and European public opinion regarding the Palestinian cause, as the scope of solidarity expands day by day, and the voices calling for an immediate end to the war and accountability for the perpetrators of crimes are growing.

The slogans and chants echoed by the demonstrators stressed that Palestine is a humanitarian issue, calling on the international community to take urgent action to save civilians in Gaza and to stop the ongoing bloodshed.

The demonstration was described as a cry of human conscience from the heart of Vienna, and a clear message to decision-makers that the Palestinian cause is no longer a distant issue, but has become strongly present in the European street, and that the world's silence in the face of genocide is no longer acceptable.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam confirmed their rejection of the displacement of the Palestinian people from their land. This came during a press conference held by the two presidents today, Saturday, following President El-Sisi's reception of his Singaporean counterpart at the Ittihadiya Palace, as part of the official visit he is making to Cairo, aimed at strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.

Egyptian presidential spokesperson Ambassador Mohamed El-Shenawy indicated that the meeting addressed updates on regional and international issues of mutual interest, particularly the situation in the Middle East, where President El-Sisi reviewed the developments of Egyptian efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, facilitate humanitarian aid, and release hostages and prisoners.

He added that the two presidents emphasized their rejection of the displacement of the Palestinian people from their land. The Egyptian president stated during the conference, "I discussed with President Tharman the critical turning point and exceptional circumstances facing the Middle East, especially regarding the Palestinian issue, where we addressed the Egyptian efforts aimed at stopping the war in Gaza and facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid in light of the worsening crisis faced by the Palestinian people due to the brutal Israeli practices, particularly in light of the expansion of military operations in the Gaza Strip."

On Saturday, Israeli authorities imposed on Palestinian residents in the "Khalayla neighborhood" and the villages of Beit Iksa and Nabi Samuel, northwest of occupied Jerusalem in the West Bank, the requirement to obtain special permits for entering and exiting their areas, a move that citizens described as deepening the policy of isolation and restricting movement.

The official Palestinian news agency reported that "Israeli occupation authorities imposed on the residents of the Khalayla neighborhood and the towns of Beit Iksa and Nabi Samuel, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, the requirement to obtain special permits to move to and from their villages, in a step that deepens the policy of isolation and restricts movement and control over the land."

The three villages suffer from near-total isolation due to the construction of the separation wall and the military checkpoints and gates surrounding them, which has deprived them of natural urban expansion, as their residents are prohibited from building new homes or bringing in essential supplies.

Hamas stated on Saturday that the Israeli army is using explosive-laden drones carrying tons of explosives with the aim of exterminating civilians and destroying residential neighborhoods in Gaza City, as part of the genocide it has been committing in the Gaza Strip for nearly two years.

It added in a statement that "the occupation army drives the explosive-laden vehicles deep into residential neighborhoods and then detonates them to create the widest area of destruction and killing."

The movement pointed out that human rights organizations documented the detonation of about 120 vehicles in one week, loaded with hundreds of tons of explosives.

Hours earlier, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated in a statement that the Israeli army detonates more than 17 explosive-laden vehicles daily in Gaza City, "each of which is equivalent to an earthquake of 3.7 degrees on the Richter scale."

The monitor, based in Geneva, clarified that "the Israeli occupation army detonated about 120 explosive-laden vehicles carrying nearly 840 tons of explosives among residential homes in Gaza City over the past week."

Hamas confirmed that "the world is witnessing horrific crimes committed by the war criminal government of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, including the attempt to destroy Gaza City and displace its residents under the weight of massacres and bombardment, and the use of various means of killing and extermination, foremost among them the explosive drones."

It called on the international community, Arab and Islamic countries, and international institutions to "take immediate action to stop these crimes and take practical steps to deter the occupation and hold its leaders accountable for what they have committed against the Palestinian people and humanity."

The Israeli army continues its intensive bombardment of the neighborhoods of Gaza City, especially the western areas crowded with displaced persons coming from the eastern neighborhoods after the intensive destruction carried out by the Israeli forces there, coinciding with the execution of demolition operations on residential facilities in the northwestern neighborhoods.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced that it had begun a "wide ground operation" throughout Gaza City, but no actual ground incursion was observed according to field evidence and local sources, except for Wednesday evening in the northern neighborhoods of the city.

Thus, the Israeli army is present on the ground in several axes in Gaza City, which are: the north around the "Rocket" intersection at the junction of Al-Jalaa and Al-Saftawi streets, the northeast in the schools around the Berka area of Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, the northwest around the Al-Karama neighborhood, the southwest near the Dahdouh intersection on "Street 8" and around the university college, the east in the neighborhoods of Al-Zeitoun, Al-Shuja'iyya, and Al-Tuffah, and the southeast in the Al-Sabra neighborhood.

On August 8, the Israeli government approved a plan proposed by Netanyahu to gradually reoccupy the Gaza Strip entirely, starting with Gaza City, which is home to about one million Palestinians.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in 65,208 deaths and 166,271 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that claimed the lives of 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.
