The United Nations Security Council held an emergency session tonight to discuss the Israeli attack on Qatar. The session took place in New York with the presence of the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and witnessed condemnations from the United Nations and most member states of the council regarding the Israeli attack, along with praises for Doha's mediation efforts to end the war in Gaza and its contributions to peace.

Many delegates stated that the Israeli bombardment aimed to undermine the efforts of mediators seeking to end the war in Gaza. For her part, Rosemary DiCarlo, the UN Under-Secretary-General, said that the Israeli strike shocked the world and constitutes a violation of Qatar's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This attack was described as a concerning escalation, especially since it targeted individuals who were gathered to discuss the latest American proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. Meanwhile, the UK representative to the Security Council, Barbara Woodward, stated that her country clearly condemns the Israeli strikes on Doha and fully stands in solidarity with Qatar.

Woodward also described the Israeli attack as a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and a warning of further escalation in the region, noting that Qatar has always been a mediator for peace in the Middle East. For his part, French representative Jérôme Bonaventure condemned the Israeli attack, affirming that it represents a flagrant violation of international law, welcoming Qatar's tireless efforts to mediate an end to the war in Gaza.

The Chinese representative, Fu Tsung, described the attacks on Doha as a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and international law, emphasizing that targeting the Hamas delegation in the Qatari capital reflects bad faith, irresponsibility, and a determination to sabotage negotiations.

The Russian representative, Vasily Nebenzya, condemned the Israeli attack on a residential area in Doha, noting that the bombardment occurred just 600 meters away from the Russian mission's headquarters. Nebenzya stated that the Israeli strike targeted the efforts of mediators and will have serious repercussions.

In contrast, Dorothy Shea, the acting US representative, stated that what happened does not serve the goals of Israel or America. Shea added that despite the painful nature of the incident, President Donald Trump believes it could be an opportunity for peace, as he expressed.

She continued that Trump assured the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani that such an incident would not be repeated on Qatari soil. For his part, the Israeli representative at the Security Council stated that Hamas leaders were the sole target of the occupation's attack in Doha.

He added that there is no immunity for terrorists or those who support them, stating that they have no immunity whether they are in a tunnel or a hotel, according to him. He continued that Qatar must now choose either to condemn Hamas and expel it or Israel will do so.

He added that the occupation's bombardment of Doha conveys that there is no safe haven for terrorists anywhere, neither in Gaza nor in Tehran nor in Doha, as he said. For his part, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman stated that the Israeli government is rogue, driven by hatred, and sees itself above the law.

He added that the rogue Israeli government leaves no opportunity to fuel conflict, spread chaos, and generalize violence. He pointed out that in a blatant violation of international law, Israel violated Qatar's sovereignty and launched a cowardly attack on its capital.

He clarified that the Israeli government lies in all its justifications for betraying Qatar after all it has done to stop the war. He continued that Israel betrayed a country that works tirelessly with Egypt and the United States to reach a prisoner exchange deal.

The international roundtable conference aimed at drawing attention to the genocide being committed by Israel against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the threats targeting holy sites concluded in Istanbul on Thursday.

The conference, held in collaboration with the European Muslim Forum, the Jerusalem International Foundation, the International Union of Muslim Scholars, the State of Palestine, and the Turkish Studies Foundation, took place at the "Çırağan" Palace in Istanbul.

The second and third sessions of the conference featured speeches from Sheikh Mu'taz Hafizi Yasin Abu Sneina, the Imam of the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, Ayman Zidan, the Executive Director of the Jerusalem Foundation, Russian journalist and politician Maxim Shevchenko, Yeshayahu Yosef Rosenberg, a rabbi from the "Neturei Karta" movement and an anti-Semitism activist, and journalist Israel Shamir.

In his speech, Abu Sneina stated that Israel is carrying out an "occupation operation" against the Ibrahimi Mosque, pointing out that the mosque is currently facing assaults.

He emphasized the necessity of respecting the sanctity of holy places, noting that worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque are subjected to insults and humiliation during every search.

Abu Sneina highlighted that there are restrictions on entry and exit, and that the aim of this is to reduce the number of worshippers in the mosque.

He mentioned that the call to prayer and the act of praying are prohibited 50 to 60 times a month "under the pretext of disturbing people."

Abu Sneina expressed his gratitude to the Turkish people for their support of Palestine.

For his part, Zidan stated that Israel aims to completely Judaize Jerusalem, stressing the need for Muslim unity.

He pointed out the necessity of responding to Israel's policies regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque within the framework of the law.

Shevchenko, in turn, affirmed that Israel does not recognize the rule of law.

He mentioned that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan defends the rights of Muslims and Christians.

He stated that Turkey protects the concept of "justice" that was adopted by the Ottoman state.

Rosenberg emphasized the importance of activities aimed at stopping genocide and occupation in Palestine.

He also stressed the importance of raising one's voice against this situation, expressing his deep pain as a Jew regarding Israel's practices that have tarnished their reputation.

Rosenberg added that Israel has exploited Judaism to "justify" its crimes.

Shamir pointed out that Israel has bombed churches in Gaza, noting that "the Zionists are also fighting Christianity."

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, which includes killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 deaths and 163,859 injuries among Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals, and famine that has claimed the lives of 411 Palestinians, including 142 children.

A United Nations affairs expert stated that the issuance of a unanimous statement - within the Security Council - in solidarity with Qatar confirms the rejection of the Israeli aggression against an independent sovereign state.

The expert, Abdel Hamid Siam, explained in a statement that the statement emphasizes the necessity of standing with international law, as what occurred is a violation of the United Nations Charter.

Israel had launched an aggression against Qatar targeting a number of leaders of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) who were meeting to discuss a U.S. proposal to end the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

Although the political expert wished that the statement had been presidential rather than journalistic, Siam simultaneously welcomed the issuance of the statement with the unanimous agreement of all members, including the United States.

The United States has used its veto power 6 times to prevent the international council from condemning the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza.

Members of the Security Council condemned - in a press statement - the recent attacks that took place in the Qatari capital and expressed their deep regret over the deaths of civilians.

The 15 member states of the council, including the United States, agreed on the statement, which did not mention Israel as the party that carried out the attacks.

The council members affirmed the importance of stopping the escalation and stressed their support for the sovereignty of the State of Qatar.

The UN affairs expert described what happened as 'a clear-cut aggression and a complete crime.'

He added, 'In this case, this aggression is called a major war crime, which is one of the four crimes upon which the International Criminal Court is based.'

The ongoing aggression of the Israeli occupation against the city of Gaza has led to widespread destruction of infrastructure and residential areas in less than a week, in addition to the devastation that has occurred in the city since the beginning of the genocide war on October 7, 2023.

Data collected shows that the occupation has destroyed 12 residential buildings with more than 7 floors, containing about 500 apartments, resulting in the displacement and homelessness of more than 10,000 citizens.

The occupation also bombed more than 120 buildings with fewer than 7 floors (averaging 3 floors per building), leading to the displacement of over 7,200 citizens.

The occupation has partially damaged more than 500 buildings, which has deprived nearly 30,000 citizens of their homes.

In a related context, the data indicated the destruction of more than 600 tents that were sheltering displaced persons, displacing at least 6,000 additional citizens, as well as the complete destruction of 10 schools and 5 mosques.

The data clarified that more than 50,000 citizens in Gaza, including children, women, and the elderly, have become homeless in less than a week amid an escalating humanitarian catastrophe.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) stated that the rates of malnutrition among children in the Gaza Strip are increasing at an alarming pace, and that the latest data shows an unprecedented rate in August of children suffering from acute malnutrition who were examined.

The organization noted in a press release today, Thursday, that the rate across Gaza rose to 13.5% last month, up from 8.3% in July.

In Gaza City - where famine has been confirmed - the number of children undergoing treatment for malnutrition was higher, reaching 19%, compared to 16% in July.

Katherine Russell, the Executive Director of UNICEF, stated that one in five children in Gaza City was diagnosed with acute malnutrition during August and needed the life-saving nutritional support provided by UNICEF.

She pointed out that the organization managed to bring more supplies to the Gaza Strip. However, she said that the Israeli military escalation in the city forced about 10 nutrition centers to close, leaving children more vulnerable.

She emphasized the need to protect nutrition services in Gaza City and throughout the Strip, adding: "No child should suffer from malnutrition that we can prevent and treat when we can safely access and deliver aid."

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, the occupying power, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

The genocide has resulted in 64,718 martyrs, 163,859 injured, most of whom are children and women, and hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, with famine claiming the lives of 411 citizens, including 142 children.

The United Nations Security Council condemned, on Thursday evening, the strike that targeted the Qatari capital, Doha, on Tuesday, without naming Israel. This came in a press statement agreed upon by all 15 members, including the United States, ahead of an anticipated emergency session of the Security Council later today to discuss the situation in the Middle East and address the Israeli attack on Qatar.

According to the statement prepared by both the United Kingdom and France, Security Council members expressed their condemnation of the recent strikes in Doha, the headquarters of a key mediator in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, on September 9.

Security Council members also expressed their deep sorrow over the loss of civilian lives in the Israeli attack on Doha. They emphasized the importance of de-escalation and expressed their solidarity with Qatar, reaffirming their support for its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Israeli military writer Itai Blumenthal predicted that any potential response from Qatar to the recent Israeli airstrike in Doha would be limited and carried out via warplanes, given that Doha does not possess ballistic missiles.

Blumenthal added through the Hebrew channel "Kan 11" that these strikes could pass through the airspace of Saudi Arabia and Jordan to ensure the effectiveness of the response and reduce risks on Qatari territory, emphasizing that the main goal is to send a deterrent message to Israel after the recent airstrike.

The analyst pointed out that executing any response depends on a precise assessment of the situation and ongoing coordination with regional partners, with close monitoring of the United States' position to avoid any uncalculated escalation.

This assessment comes after statements from Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who confirmed in an interview with CNN that his country would respond to the Israeli attack, stressing that details are still under discussion with Doha's regional partners.

The Qatari Prime Minister affirmed that his country has not threatened the Israeli occupation or its people, saying: "Netanyahu always claims that we are a threat, while we are protecting our countries and peoples; none of our countries has threatened Israel or its people, so why does he claim to be a man of peace? We are at a critical moment in the Middle East, and his claim that he is reshaping the region is very dangerous and unacceptable to us."

Blumenthal explained that the statements of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in which he announced the kingdom's readiness to support any Qatari response to the Israeli occupation, reflect complete regional coordination between Doha, Riyadh, and other partner countries, enhancing Qatar's ability to send precise political and military messages without entering into an open confrontation.

The analyst confirmed that any potential Qatari move would be executed carefully to avoid any direct confrontation, focusing on deterring Israel politically and militarily, while Washington and Gulf countries closely monitor developments amid rising tensions following the recent airstrikes, in an attempt to balance deterrence with avoiding the outbreak of a comprehensive regional conflict.

Fawzi Barhoum, a leader in the movement, announced at a press conference on Thursday that "the crime of the Zionist entity is not only an assault on the sovereignty of the State of Qatar but also a barbaric declaration and a declaration of war on all our Arab and Islamic countries."

Emphasizing that "the Zionist entity endangers regional and international security."

In a notable political move, the European Parliament on Thursday called on the member states of the Union to consider recognizing the State of Palestine, emphasizing that this aims to achieve a two-state solution.

This call came as part of a non-binding resolution adopted at the Parliament's headquarters in Strasbourg, with a majority of 305 votes in favor, 151 against, and 122 abstentions.

The resolution primarily addressed the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, expressing deep concern over what it described as the 'catastrophic' situation there.

The resolution strongly condemned what it termed the 'Israeli government's blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza,' holding it responsible for causing 'famine' in the northern part of the territory.

In this context, European lawmakers urged the immediate opening of all border crossings to ensure the unobstructed flow of aid.

They also called for the urgent 'renewal of the mandate and funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA),' stressing the need for it to be under 'strict oversight,' while simultaneously expressing their rejection of the current aid distribution mechanisms.

The resolution, presented by the Social Democrats, Greens, and Renew Europe groups, was titled 'Gaza on the Edge: The EU's Action to Combat Famine, the Urgent Need to Free Hostages, and Move Towards a Two-State Solution.'

Two citizens were killed, and others were injured, as a result of the Israeli occupation army targeting a gathering of citizens in front of the Al-Nouri Tower in Al-Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent reported that two martyrs arrived at Al-Awda Hospital due to the occupation's targeting of the citizens' gathering, which also resulted in dozens of injuries.

He pointed out that the occupation's aircraft destroyed 15 houses in Gaza City since this morning, displacing hundreds of citizens and evacuees in the surrounding area.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the (E1) plan this evening, Thursday, to expand the settlements established on the lands of the West Bank and surrounding occupied Jerusalem.

This colonial plan aims to isolate occupied Jerusalem from its Palestinian surroundings, severing the geographical and demographic connection between Jerusalem and Palestinian communities, and undermining the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The plan also seeks to expand the borders of East Jerusalem by annexing the colonial bloc of "Ma'ale Adumim" to it, which will lead to the displacement and uprooting of the residents of the Bedouin communities once again from their lands, in exchange for an increase in the number of settlers in Jerusalem at the expense of the original Palestinian citizens.

The Israeli occupation forces launched a wide-scale arrest campaign this evening, Thursday, against citizens in the city of Tulkarem. Our correspondent reported that the occupation forces raided shops and cafes in the city center, particularly on Al-Haddadin Street and Martyr Thabet Thabet Square, and around Al-Alimi Roundabout ('the courts') in the western neighborhood, arresting anyone present inside or in their vehicles, and led them on foot in long lines towards the street leading to the Khadouri military checkpoint ('Nitzani Oz') to the west.

She added that the occupation forces deployed more military vehicles and heavy bulldozers to the city, where they concentrated around Al-Alimi Roundabout, and soldiers raided homes and shops in the area, forcing them to close, and confiscated several surveillance cameras from them, while preventing the movement of citizens in the area.

The occupation forces also stormed the Arta suburb and the southern neighborhood of the city, raiding several homes, searching them, interrogating their residents, and arresting the two young men Qussam Hatim Faqih and Bilal Abu Sha'ar from their home. The Israeli occupation forces imposed a tight siege on the city this afternoon, after closing the iron military gates at its southern and eastern entrances, represented by the Jabbar Bridge gate at the southern entrance and the military Hajar Anab gates to the east, preventing the movement of vehicles through them.

The occupation forces fired live ammunition heavily towards citizens and vehicles in the western neighborhood, specifically around the 'Nitzani Oz' gate, coinciding with the sound of a massive explosion that shook the city, while the occupation prevented Palestinian ambulances from reaching the area. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society confirmed that the occupation forces prevented its crews from reaching the area.

This escalation comes amid the ongoing aggression of the occupation against the city of Tulkarem and its camps ('Tulkarem and Nur Shams'), which has entered its 228th consecutive day, amidst daily incursions and strict military measures targeting citizens and their properties.

Omer Celik, the spokesperson for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, said on Thursday that the brutal terrorist act committed by Israel in Qatar is an aggression against all countries wishing to achieve peace and ceasefire.

This came in press statements following a meeting of the party's central committee chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the party's headquarters in the capital, Ankara.

Celik explained that "the Israeli attack on Qatar has once again proven that the genocide network ignores all rules and engages in a cunning approach to the extent that it has even ensnared the negotiating team in a trap."

He added that "the attack also proved that the main party threatening international order and law and the national security of countries is the network of (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."

Celik continued: "It has been unequivocally established that there is no platform to discuss other issues without stopping Netanyahu's network and holding it accountable before the law."

He stated that "this network has directly attacked negotiations, diplomacy, the ceasefire process, and calls from the international community."

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced that it had launched an airstrike on the leadership of Hamas in Doha, which sparked widespread regional and global condemnations and calls for a collective response to deter Israel.

Qatar condemned the Israeli attack, describing it as "state terrorism," affirming its right to respond to this aggression that resulted in the death of a member of the internal security forces.

Meanwhile, Hamas announced that its negotiating delegation, led by its chief in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt, while the director of his office, Jihad Labed, and his son, Hamam al-Hayya, along with three companions, Abdullah Abdul Wahid, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmad al-Mamlouk, were killed.

The attack on Qatar came despite its role as a mediator alongside Egypt, with American participation, in indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement for prisoner exchange and a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

This attack reflects Israel's expansion of its aggressions regionally, as it launched an aggression against Iran last June and has been committing genocide in Gaza for nearly two years, along with assaults in the occupied West Bank, and conducting airstrikes on Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

The office of the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, issued a statement responding to the remarks of the Prime Minister of Spain, who confirmed that his country does not possess nuclear weapons, indicating that these statements represent a threat to the state of occupation.

The remarks came at a sensitive time as tensions in the region escalate due to the ongoing aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip, which intensifies the political rhetoric among countries.

This statement comes in the context of Spain's attempts to play a role in de-escalation, yet the response from the state of occupation reflects concern over any international pressures that may affect its military strategy.

The newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "Israel" announced its direct responsibility for the attack targeting a building where Hamas leadership operates in Doha, confirming that the operation would not have taken place without American approval, given the close coordination between Washington and Doha for years, and its control over Al Udeid Air Base.

The newspaper added that Israeli planes would not have breached the airspace of the emirate without a green light from the U.S., pointing to a clear threat issued by U.S. President Donald Trump to Hamas, stating: "This is my last warning," while presenting his plan for a "comprehensive deal."

It mentioned that the Qatari leadership received a strong hint from the Americans regarding the attack in the Katara neighborhood, as a spokesperson for the White House stated that "Trump did not like the location of the attack and regrets it."

The newspaper clarified that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the operation was a response to the attack in Jerusalem that resulted in the deaths of six Israelis, for which Hamas claimed responsibility.

It noted that the plan to target the movement's leadership in Qatar had been ready for some time "waiting for the right opportunity," and that "Israel" this time did not hide its responsibility and pressured to withdraw any direct American cover.

Yedioth reported that the first hours after the operation saw Israeli statements about American approval and coordination between the two countries, but afterward, Tel Aviv boasted that it was "a purely Israeli operation" led, planned, and executed by itself, amid estimates that Washington requested the withdrawal of any hint of its involvement.

The writer discussed the Katara neighborhood in Doha, explaining that it contains only 15 residential buildings, one of which houses the office of Khalil al-Hayya, a Hamas leader, who also resides in the lower apartment of the building, while others from the movement live in luxurious villas "at Qatar's expense."

The newspaper added that negotiations regarding the hostages are now in jeopardy, questioning whether they would move exclusively to Egypt, or to one of the European countries, or enter into a "coma" that delays addressing the file.

It mentioned that Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani recently met with Hamas leadership in the emirate, where he urged them to respond positively to Trump's "final" plan, but the movement expressed reservations despite announcing its approval.

It pointed out that Qatar, similar to what Jordan did in 1997 after the assassination attempt on Khaled Mashal, announced its withdrawal from mediation, stating that it "stops its efforts."

Hamas announced the survival of its leadership from the targeting, but the fate of the negotiations remains unclear.

According to Yedioth, Israel was keen to emphasize that it did not attack Qatar as a state, but "Hamas on its territory," despite the absence of any commitments or agreements between them, noting that senior Israeli officials, including the head of the Mossad, the head of the Shin Bet, and three ministers, recently visited the emirate.

The newspaper concluded by referencing Qatar's strong condemnation of the attack, considering that the question raised is the position of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and whether he will withdraw from the "political game" or appear as a patron of Hamas, noting that the movement is disliked in Arab countries such as Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and even the UAE, which issued a statement strongly condemning the Ramot intersection attack in Jerusalem.

The Hamas movement considered, on Thursday, that the occupation's attack on its leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha, was a "complete crime," stating that it "was not just an assassination attempt on the delegation, but a bombing and assassination of the entire negotiation process."

This came during a press conference held by movement leader Fawzi Barhoum, commenting on an attack carried out by Israel on a residential location in Doha for leaders of "Hamas" on Tuesday, which resulted in the survival of the negotiating delegation, the death of the head of the delegation's son, Khalil al-Hayya, his office manager Jihad Labed, and three companions, in addition to a Qatari security personnel.

In the press conference, Barhoum said: "This crime was not just an assassination attempt on the delegation, but it is a bombing and assassination of the entire negotiation process, and a deliberate targeting of the role of the brother mediators in Qatar and Egypt."

He explained that the attack "is a blatant confirmation from (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his criminal gang of their rejection to reach any agreement, and their insistence on thwarting all regional and international efforts aimed at stopping the genocide and starvation and ending the war against our people in Gaza."

He emphasized that the attack "clearly proves that Netanyahu and his extremist government bear full responsibility for the failure and disruption of all previous negotiation stations."

About a year ago, the occupying army closed the main access point to the town of Idna in the southern West Bank, which connects it to the city of Hebron and the north. To this day, it continues to close the access point and shuts down every alternative dirt road that residents create to manage their daily lives.

The main entrance, closed with an iron gate, is a lifeline for the village's residents, estimated to number around 30,000. Its closure has dealt a blow to the city's economy, in addition to the loss of many lives due to delays in providing medical assistance and transporting them to hospitals in Hebron.

Coinciding with the launch of the genocide against Gaza on October 7, 2023, the occupation intensified its measures in the West Bank, deploying hundreds of checkpoints and iron gates, and this week further tightened its grip, according to Palestinian official sources.

Jaber Al-Tamizi, the mayor of Idna, says that the distance between the town and the city of Hebron to the east, via Route 35 north of the city, used to take no more than 10 minutes, but today it takes more than an hour.

He added that the repercussions of the closure manifested in human losses, citing the case of the former mayor, Jamal Al-Tamizi, a few weeks ago, who could not be transported to the hospital by ambulance, and could have reached in time if the road had been open.

The mayor points out that many residents of the town primarily rely on scrap recycling operations, and the impact of the closure has resulted in a buildup of raw materials and the inability to dispose of them except to a minimal extent.

Notably, this week, the Israeli occupying army intensified its siege imposed on Palestinian villages and cities in the West Bank by deploying more iron gates and locks.

These measures coincided with threats from Defense Minister Yoav Gallant following the Jerusalem operation last Monday, stating that there would be severe and long-term consequences for the West Bank as a result of this operation.

According to documentation from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the occupying army closed all entrances to the city of Jerusalem and the surrounding villages and towns in the last three days, imposing strict measures on the entrances to the city of Ramallah.

The occupying authorities expanded the deployment of iron gates, which are yellow gates with one or two arms and can reach a length of 20 meters, and are locked with locks for which soldiers hold the keys.

The Yemeni Houthi group announced on Thursday that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on the capital, Sana'a, and Al-Jawf governorate has risen to 35 martyrs and 131 injured.

The group's affiliated channel, "Al-Masirah," reported the statement of the Houthi government's Health Ministry spokesperson, Anis Al-Asbahi, who said, "The Israeli attacks on Sana'a and Al-Jawf on Wednesday resulted in 35 martyrs and 131 injured," with the toll likely to rise.

He added that "the enemy entity targeted, in a new war crime, civilian sites in Sana'a and Al-Jawf in a systematic manner."

The European Parliament adopted a resolution regarding the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, expressing its deep concern over the spread of famine and the lack of food, water, and medicine.

The resolution called on the occupying state to fully and safely open all crossings for aid and to ensure the protection of civilians and those working in medical and relief fields.

It emphasized the necessity of reaching an immediate and permanent ceasefire, along with resuming funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which is a lifeline for millions of Palestinians.

The Parliament affirmed in its text that Gaza is at the breaking point, and that the European Union has a key role in addressing famine and advancing the political process towards a two-state solution, as the only way to resolve the Palestinian issue.

The situation in the Gaza Strip has surpassed the stage of disaster, as confirmed by Tamara Al-Rifai, the Director of External Relations and Media at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), who stated that the chaos in aid distribution has played a significant role in expanding the famine among the population.

The agency can reach those in need quickly and easily based on its infrastructure and information, with the help of up to 15,000 of its staff who are still working in the sector, according to Al-Rifai in an interview.

However, Israel continues its attempts to entrench chaos and deepen the crisis through what is known as the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," which provides aid through 400 points across the sector, compared to the 400,000 points that UNRWA operated through.

Earlier today, sources reported the agency's Commissioner-General stating that the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" is run by gangs, some of which are hostile to Muslims, and that more than 2,000 desperate hungry people have died while seeking food.

Despite the difficulties imposed by Israel on the ground, 15,000 UNRWA staff continue to provide health and educational services even in displacement tents that are being bombed.

These staff members, according to the spokesperson, convey the reality on the ground, which confirms the expansion of famine from the northern sector to the central areas.

Israel deliberately mistreats humanitarian institutions, especially UNRWA, which is considered the largest actor and witness to everything happening in Gaza.

This unknown and unrecognized institution, as described by Al-Rifai, is intended to replace all international and UN institutions that have extensive experience in health and education in Gaza.

UNRWA schools are overcrowded with displaced persons amid the inability to find and rent a place or buy a tent, and there must be safe and permanent access.

UNRWA also has lists of all the affected and vulnerable individuals, including those who have lost their breadwinner or have children with special needs in Gaza.

Lazareini confirmed today that addressing famine requires safe, continuous, and widespread access for those in need anywhere.

The humanitarian working group in the occupied Palestinian territories, which includes UN agencies and more than 200 international and local NGOs, expressed its grave concern over the serious escalation in the city of Gaza.

At the same time, the Ministry of Health in the sector announced the martyrdom of 7 due to hunger, raising the number of those who have died from malnutrition to 411, including 142 children.

The official spokesperson for the Global Fleet of Resilience to Break the Siege on Gaza, Wael Nawar, confirmed the official launch and movement of the fleet on Thursday, except for some ships that are waiting for certain documents, which will also set sail subsequently on Thursday.

Nawar revealed in a special call that the fleet set off early on Thursday, and the departure will continue in the territorial waters for 24 to 48 hours until the storm passes, after which we will head to international waters.

He clarified that the Italian fleet will also depart today, and will be waiting for us in international waters, noting that the reason for not announcing the departure publicly is our inability to operate under pressure with thousands at the port.

For his part, member of the Maghreb Resilience Fleet, Nabil Al-Shanoufi, confirmed the official movement of 16 Spanish ships on Thursday, out of a total of 36 ships in the fleet, with the rest set to move subsequently upon completing the procedures.

Thousands of Tunisians gathered at the port amid intense media coverage to bid farewell to the fleet, but due to difficult weather conditions, a decision was made to delay until Thursday morning.

Al-Shanoufi stated that the main reason for the delay is the change in weather conditions due to rain and winds, and we will set out with about 36 ships, including two or three that are not fully ready to depart, which may join later, with the number of participants ranging between 500 and 700 participants.

He confirmed that the number of boats will increase after meeting with the Italian and Greek boats, and we have been informed that the Egyptian state has allowed an Egyptian ship to depart and granted it a permit.

The Israeli army radio reported that two Israeli soldiers were injured, one of them seriously, due to the explosion of a bomb in a military vehicle at checkpoint 104 near Tulkarm in the northern occupied West Bank.

The army radio stated that the commander of the central region issued an order to impose a complete siege on Tulkarm following the bomb explosion, and that large forces began operations to comb the city.

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli occupation aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 64,718, and the injuries to 163,859 since October 7, 2023, while the toll since March 18, 2025, until today has reached 12,170 martyrs and 51,818 injuries.

In the past twenty-four hours, hospitals received 72 martyrs and 356 new injuries, while a number of victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, amid the inability of rescue teams to reach them.

Regarding the "martyrs of earning a living," 9 martyrs and 87 injuries have reached hospitals in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number to 2,465 martyrs and more than 17,948 injuries due to targeting queues and aid distribution areas.

Gaza Strip hospitals also recorded 7 new deaths in the past 24 hours, including a child due to famine and malnutrition, raising the total number of deaths to 411, including 142 children.

With the genocide and massacres of the Israeli occupation in Gaza, which have resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 100,000 Palestinians in the sector since October 7, 2023, Israel has effectively nullified all international treaties and dismissed all peace solutions, including the two-state solution, which was supposed to provide some stability in the region.

The current war has not merely been a military aggression; it has represented a strategic turning point, as the occupation has surpassed all humanitarian and diplomatic norms, and the idea of "just peace" has receded in favor of the logic of power and the complete negation of the other.

In effect, the war has practically annulled international treaties and laws, constituting a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, through the use of starvation as a weapon of war, which is completely prohibited (Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 54 of the Additional Protocol I), in addition to targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure (hospitals, schools, refugee camps), and refusing to implement the International Court of Justice's (2024) decisions that called for an end to the genocide.

The American "veto" has been repeatedly used to obstruct ceasefire resolutions or to protect civilians. The talk of establishing a Palestinian state is no longer practically applicable after the widespread destruction of infrastructure in Gaza and the unprecedented settlement expansion in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

As for the statements of Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they have become public in rejecting the establishment of any independent Palestinian state, while the American administration, despite its public statements supporting the two-state solution, has not provided any practical mechanism for its implementation or imposed a timeline, and all regional and international initiatives, foremost among them the Arab Peace Initiative (2002), have also been excluded.

All these assaults, massacres, and destruction were gambled on by the occupation in hopes that the Palestinian people would abandon their rights, but displacement and forced migration do not in any way mean that the displaced Palestinian people will relinquish their rights. Experience has proven, over a century, the determination of the Palestinian people to continue their struggle and demand their rights.

Despite more than 77 years since the Nakba of the Palestinian people, and the successive waves of displacement, the latest of which is what is happening in Gaza since 2023, Palestinians have never relinquished their right to return, nor have they abandoned their demand for their legitimate rights.

Historical experience has shown that displacement, war, and siege have not and will not extinguish the Palestinian collective consciousness, and that the Palestinian refugee—wherever they are—has remained a bearer of their cause politically, culturally, and popularly, while attempts to assimilate into host societies have failed to end their national identity.

The diaspora and liberation movements have not been a state of stagnation or absence for the Palestinian diaspora; rather, it has been an active part of the Palestinian national project, even leading in crucial stages.

Despite displacement, refuge, and long suffering, the Palestinian diaspora has not been a burden on its cause; rather, it has been at the forefront of the national liberation movement, participating in shaping the contours of the struggle, and framing it intellectually and politically, making immense sacrifices for the dream of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The diaspora has not shied away from sacrifice, having provided tens of thousands of martyrs among Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, while Palestinian cultural, media, and political creativity in exile has been a central tool in preserving the national narrative in the face of attempts at erasure and distortion.

History has proven that liberation movements, no matter how long they last and how great their sacrifices, ultimately prevail; peoples do not die, and rights are not erased by force, and collective will imposes itself, even if after a while.

The Palestinian struggle is no exception; rather, it is an extension of the experiences of free peoples who faced colonialism and tyranny with bare chests and unwavering resolve.

The Vietnamese revolution, which broke the might of the American empire, and the Algerian revolution, which expelled French occupation after 132 years of colonization, both affirm that victory belongs to the peoples, not to the occupier.

If Vietnam, Algeria, and others have triumphed, then Palestine—with its rich history, the justice of its cause, and the depth of its people's belonging—will not be an exception. Those who fight for their land, dignity, and rights cannot be defeated, even if conspired against by both near and far.

One cannot ignore the international solidarity movement that the current war has sparked, which is difficult for the occupation to bypass.

The horrific crimes have led to an unprecedented

Sources in Gaza hospitals reported the death of 13 Palestinians due to the fire of the occupation forces since dawn today, Thursday, including 11 in the city of Gaza. A series of violent attacks have been launched since dawn, focusing on the city of Gaza, which they seek to occupy and displace Palestinians from.

Palestinians held a funeral this morning for the bodies of martyrs from the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in the city, while a medical source at Al-Shifa Hospital stated that two Palestinians were martyred, one of whom was a child, and others were injured as a result of targeting a tent sheltering displaced persons from the Abu Harbid family in the Yarmouk area in the center of Gaza City.

Several Palestinians were also injured in an Israeli shelling that targeted the home of the Al-Shawa family near the Al-Shuhada intersection in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City.

The Israeli warplanes launched a series of violent airstrikes on the tunnel street extending from the center of Gaza City towards its northeastern areas, coinciding with intense artillery shelling that hit areas east of the Sheikh Radwan pool, in addition to the dropping of illumination bombs over most parts of the city.

In the central Gaza Strip, a Palestinian child was martyred due to the Israeli army's random gunfire on citizens' homes in the Al-Bureij camp.

In the city of Deir al-Balah, several Palestinians were injured due to targeting by an Israeli drone on a house next to Khadija Al-Bassa School.

In this context, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced the registration of 5 deaths due to famine and malnutrition, including a child, in the last 24 hours, raising the total number of malnutrition deaths to 404 martyrs, including 141 children.

Human rights concerns have been expressed by the humanitarian working group in the occupied Palestinian territories - which includes UN agencies and more than 200 international and local NGOs - regarding the serious escalation in the city of Gaza. They stated in a statement that the Israeli army has intensified its operations and ordered everyone to evacuate southward.

The humanitarian team added that despite Israel declaring a "humanitarian zone" in the south, it has not provided safety guarantees or sufficient services to accommodate the displaced.

They confirmed that nearly one million people are now without safe or viable options, as neither the north nor the south of the Gaza Strip offers safety, as stated in the team's statement.

The statement noted that leaving northern Gaza means incurring exorbitant transportation costs and securing safe passage, amounts that most families cannot afford.

It clarified that leaving northern Gaza means continuing the suffering in securing food, water, medical care, and shelter, at a time when the exhausted residents of Gaza have reached the limits of their capacities.

The humanitarian team warned in its statement that amid the ongoing Israeli obstacles, the current level of humanitarian response in Gaza remains entirely insufficient.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in 64,656 dead and 163,503 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and famine that has claimed the lives of 404 Palestinians, including 141 children.

The Israeli army vowed on Thursday to demolish more residential towers in the city of Gaza in the coming days as part of the ongoing genocide against the enclave, supported by the United States for the past 23 months.

The Israeli army began destroying towers in the city of Gaza last Friday as part of what it called "Operation Gideon's Chariots 2," and this is continuing on a daily basis.

Army spokesperson Avichai Adraee stated in a post on the American platform "X": "In recent days, we have been attacking multi-story buildings and towers in the city of Gaza in preparation for expanding strikes against Hamas in the city."

Amnesty International stated that Israel must immediately revoke the order for the mass forced displacement it issued against the citizens of Gaza City on September 9, in light of its ongoing escalation of the attack on the city, which exacerbates the suffering of civilians amid the ongoing genocide.

The organization added in a press release that the order issued by the Israeli army for the mass displacement of Gaza City citizens is brutal and illegal, and it exacerbates the genocidal living conditions imposed by Israel on the Palestinians.

Amnesty International has repeatedly and unequivocally affirmed that forcing Palestinians to be displaced internally within the Gaza Strip or to be deported outside of it constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The Israeli Knesset (parliament) approved in the first reading a bill to add approximately 31 billion shekels (more than 9 billion dollars) to fund war expenses.

The Hebrew economic site Calcalist reported: The Knesset approved in the first reading last night, Wednesday, an additional amount of 30.8 billion shekels (9.23 billion dollars) primarily allocated for security needs.

42 Knesset members (out of 120) voted in favor of the bill, while 37 opposed it, but for it to become law, it must be voted on in three readings according to Israeli law.

The vote took place in a special session of the Knesset's general assembly during its summer recess as part of a political deal between the government and the two Haredi parties (religious) that withdrew from the government last July, protesting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's (wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes) failure to fulfill his promise to enact a law exempting Haredim from military service.

While the deal stipulated that the United Torah Judaism party (7 seats in the Knesset) would abstain from voting, the Shas party (11 seats) would vote in favor of the bill, according to the same source.

Deal with the extremists As part of the deal, the parliamentary finance committee will approve today, Thursday, the transfer of 80 million shekels (24 million dollars) to the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth stated that the vote on increasing the defense budget came after unexpected expenses due to the ongoing war, with a particular focus on the war with Iran (June 13-24), and extensive military purchases made by the Israeli army, without further details.

Yesterday, Wednesday, the Knesset also approved in the first reading a bill to increase the deficit to 5.2%, which was supported by 48 members against 40 who opposed it, meaning that the actual deficit rate will jump from 4.9% to 5.2%.

In March, the Knesset approved Israel's budget for 2025, which amounted to about 619 billion shekels (185.55 billion dollars), with a deficit ceiling of 4.9%, while the security budget was about 110 billion shekels (33 billion dollars).

Disputes had recently erupted between the Israeli finance and defense ministries over the issue of adding to the budget, according to Yedioth Ahronoth.

The Israeli security establishment demanded an increase of 60 billion shekels (18 billion dollars), claiming that the Gideon Vehicles operation in Gaza and the war on Iran had not been allocated budgets, and that the funds were necessary for replenishing stocks and also for urgent purchases, ranging from Arrow missiles that were about to run out to hundreds of armored vehicles specifically for soldiers in the sector.

At the beginning of September, Channel 12 revealed a confidential internal document from the Israeli army acknowledging the failure of the Gideon Vehicles operation in the Gaza Strip (from May 16 to August 6, 2025) to achieve its declared objectives, primarily defeating the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and securing the release of prisoners.

The Israeli army announced on September 3, after more than three weeks of intensive bombing of the Gaza Strip, the launch of Operation Gideon Vehicles 2 to fully occupy the city of Gaza, which sparked criticism and protests in Israel, fearing for the lives of prisoners and soldiers.

On September 2, the Hebrew broadcasting authority stated that the cost of Operation Gideon Vehicles 2 ranges between 6 billion and 7.5 billion dollars, according to estimates.

With the support of the United States, Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop it.

This genocide has resulted in the martyrdom of 64,656 Palestinians, the injury of about 164,000, most of whom are children and women, over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has claimed the lives of 404 Palestinians, including 141 children.

The Israeli occupation forces notified today, Thursday, of the demolition of the "Al-Zuweidin Secondary School" south of Hebron, east of the town of Yatta.

The head of the village council, Said Ta'imat, stated that the occupation forces posted a demolition notice on the school's doors, noting that it serves a large number of Bedouin communities and has more than 120 students.

He pointed out that this demolition notice came in response to the desires of the extremist colonial organization "Regavim," which called about a month ago on the occupation authorities to demolish the school to achieve colonial objectives.

The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported that the number of female prisoners in the occupation's jails is 53, among them minors and mothers.

The Commission indicated today, Thursday, that the detainees are suffering from harsh detention conditions and deprivation of the most basic human rights.

It added that some of the female prisoners were re-arrested after their release in the recent exchange deal. It noted that 42 detainees are from the West Bank, 5 from within the 1948 territories, 4 from Jerusalem, and 2 from the Gaza Strip.
