The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that the death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 61,430 dead and 153,213 injuries since October 7, 2023. This figure reflects the scale of the humanitarian disaster faced by the residents of the besieged enclave.

In the past 24 hours, 61 dead and 363 injuries have arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip, highlighting the ongoing Israeli aggression and the worsening humanitarian situation. The ministry confirmed that the number of martyrs and injuries since the resumption of the genocide on March 18 has reached 9,921 martyrs and 41,172 injuries.

The ministry also reported that the number of martyrs among those waiting for aid has risen to 1,778 dead, in addition to more than 21,894 injuries since May 27. These figures indicate the extent of suffering endured by Palestinians under the ongoing siege and aggression.

In another context, hospitals in Gaza recorded 5 deaths in the past 24 hours, including two children, due to famine and malnutrition, bringing the total to 217 deaths, including 100 children since the war began. These numbers reflect the catastrophic situation faced by children and women in the enclave.

The ministry emphasized that many victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, where rescue and civil defense teams are unable to reach them. This situation highlights the urgent need to provide humanitarian and relief assistance to the residents of the enclave.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, involving killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls. These actions require urgent action from the international community to stop the aggression.

The Israeli security cabinet, "the Cabinet," has also approved a plan to fully reoccupy the Gaza Strip, which threatens more casualties due to the war of genocide and starvation. This step reflects the occupation's intention to escalate aggression against the Palestinians.

For decades, Israel has occupied Palestine and territories in Syria and Lebanon, refusing to withdraw and establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the borders prior to the 1967 war. This ongoing occupation contributes to the exacerbation of humanitarian and political crises in the region.

Global newspapers and websites have highlighted the suffering of Gazans at aid distribution sites, where residents are facing a severe shortage of food and basic necessities. Reports indicate that Israeli occupation forces deliberately open fire on the displaced, exacerbating their suffering.

The British newspaper The Guardian conducted an investigative report revealing a continuous pattern of shooting at Palestinians seeking food. Visual evidence, bullet casings, and medical data have shown reckless and irresponsible behavior by the occupation forces, raising concerns about the use of weapons in these circumstances.

In a related context, military analyst Amos Harel in Haaretz confirmed that the occupation of Gaza is still far off, pointing to American demands regarding humanitarian needs and the Israeli army's requirement for a large mobilization of reserve forces. He also noted a decline in soldiers' responsiveness to calls.

Harel indicated that soldiers who will carry out orders to occupy the city of Gaza may face legal accountability for committing crimes against humanity, complicating the military and political situation further.

On another note, the Financial Times reported from an Israeli source that the media promotion surrounding a military operation indicates the presence of other political considerations. It confirmed that there is enough time for the army and the international community to influence the outlines of the operation.

The editorial of Le Monde considered Netanyahu's disregard for the military establishment's opinion on the occupation of Gaza to be a serious rupture, noting that the idea of handing Gaza over to Arab forces is nothing more than a fantasy, as no Arab state is willing to act as an agent for the occupation.

An analysis in The New York Times pointed out that the idea of handing over control to Arab forces crosses a red line set by Netanyahu, as agreeing to that would mean the end of the war and a withdrawal from the sector, which could lead to the collapse of his government coalition.

The Palestinian issue today is witnessing a dangerous turning point regarding the nature and tools of Israeli occupation, which are no longer limited to direct military control but have expanded to include what can be termed "proxy occupation."

In this context, a new model for managing the Gaza Strip is being proposed, which involves handing over actual administration to an Arab or regional entity, in a calculated Israeli attempt to reoccupy the strip through intermediaries, while concealing direct control under the guise of non-Palestinian management.

Legally, occupation is defined as the actual control of a foreign power over land that is not under its sovereignty, and this fact is not altered by changes in methods of control or adjustments to its tools, as long as the occupying power continues to impose its will on the land and the population through security, political, and economic control.

Netanyahu's plan, which proposes handing over the administration of Gaza to a "responsible Arab entity," is nothing more than an attempt to conceal direct occupation behind proxy management, reflecting a strategy of transforming explicit military control into indirect dominance.

From a legal and political standpoint, this maneuver is an attempt to confer formal legitimacy on the occupation by involving an external party, creating a duality in administration and obscuring the real control exercised by Israel, especially through control of crossings, resources, and the security space.

This strategy does not diminish Israel's legal responsibility but creates ambiguity that hinders accountability and disrupts Palestinian and international efforts to stop the occupation and impose a just political solution.

Politically, this step cannot be separated from the attempt to dismantle the Palestinian national project, which relies on the unity of the West Bank and Gaza Strip as two essential components of the Palestinian political system.

Assigning the administration of Gaza to an external entity deepens the geographical and political division and weakens national institutions such as the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization.

This sustained division serves the interests of the occupation, which faces difficulties in imposing its dominance if confronted with a cohesive Palestinian unity.

At the regional and international level, there is a clear tendency among some parties to accept or tolerate this model as a "transitional" solution that alleviates tension and maintains relative stability, even at the expense of Palestinian rights.

These acceptances—even if implicit—contribute to entrenching new realities on the ground and reshaping the Palestinian scene towards external security and political management instead of a sovereign Palestinian state.

The success of "proxy occupation" in Gaza opens the door for its application in other ways in the West Bank, through intensifying the actual annexation of lands and imposing a local administration with limited powers.

This path threatens to end the idea of an independent Palestinian state and transform the conflict into mere management of the population and services under the dominance of the occupation.

This model enhances the fragmentation of Palestinian geography and transforms it into a collection of isolated islands subjected to strict control over the movement of people and goods.

The proxy occupation model represents a profound strategic shift in the tools and forms of Israeli control over Palestinian land.

Hamas leader Osama Hamdan confirmed today, Sunday, that the efforts of mediators have not stopped, but his movement has not been informed of any official updates regarding the ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip.

At the same time, the broadcasting authority affiliated with the occupation entity, 'Makan', revealed intense American pressure on both sides to return to the negotiating table.

Hamdan stated in his remarks that Hamas's primary goal remains 'to stop the aggression, open the crossings, and lift the siege on the Gaza Strip', emphasizing that 'the weapon of resistance is a legitimate right as long as the occupation exists.'

Hamdan accused American envoy Steve Witkoff of 'sabotaging' the last round of negotiations, pointing out that his statements led to the halt of the negotiations.

The broadcasting authority 'Makan' reported sources saying that the American administration, in cooperation with mediators, is exerting pressure on Hamas and the occupation entity to return to negotiations before the military operation planned by the occupation entity to occupy the Gaza Strip begins.

The sources added that the door has not yet been closed on the possibility of reaching a deal, reflecting the ongoing diplomatic movement under the current circumstances.

This movement comes at a time when the security agencies in the occupation entity believe that the operation to occupy the city of Gaza could take at least six months.

Tzvi Barel, a Middle East affairs analyst, believes that Israel's decision to adopt the option of full occupation of the Gaza Strip represents a significant shift in the course of the war, as the issue of prisoners has been marginalized in favor of the larger goal of eliminating Hamas's rule.

The decision issued by the Israeli security cabinet last Friday has turned the goal of freeing prisoners into a marginal objective, reflecting the Israeli leadership's conviction that direct military control is the only way to ensure that Hamas does not return to power.

Barel believes that this control will not be limited to security aspects but will impose on Israel broad legal and humanitarian responsibilities under international law, including the reconstruction of governance and services in Gaza, which have been completely destroyed.

If occupation is not achieved, the mere threat of it is intended to be a 'doomsday weapon' that destroys all forms of life in the besieged sector, showing Hamas that it may lose control over the land and sources of income.

Barel points out that this threat negates the previous assumption that prisoners represent a 'strategic value' in Hamas's hands, as there is no longer a need to negotiate their release in light of the option of occupation.

The current situation is fundamentally different from the period before the withdrawal in 2005, when there was an existing administrative and economic structure in the West Bank and Gaza, which facilitated the management of the withdrawal. Today, Hamas's civil institutions are collapsed, meaning that Israel will have to re-establish sectors of education, health, and services.

This path entails strategic risks, as the occupation will face a devastated population that holds Israel responsible for its tragedy, which could lead to the emergence of a new generation of armed resistance.

Without a comprehensive political solution, this generation may not seek goals beyond the borders of the sector but will find them close in the Israeli forces and the military government.

Barel warns that the experience of the American occupation of Iraq could be repeated in Gaza, where tens of thousands who worked under Hamas's rule cannot simply be excluded due to the absence of a qualified alternative.

Ultimately, the author sees that Israel is faced with a highly complex equation; the military overthrow of Hamas does not guarantee stability but may open the door to a long-term conflict unless this step is accompanied by a genuine political path.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced this morning, Sunday, the registration of 5 new dead in the past 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition, including two children. These figures reflect the catastrophic situation faced by the residents of the strip.

The statement issued by the Ministry of Health indicated that the total number of dead due to famine and malnutrition has risen to 217, including 100 children, reflecting the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the besieged strip.

The suffering in the Gaza Strip continues due to a severe shortage of food and medical resources, as residents endure harsh conditions that make them vulnerable to famine and diseases.

Local and international calls are increasing to end the blockade imposed on the strip and to provide the necessary humanitarian aid to save lives.

Health institutions in Gaza are recording alarming figures regarding cases of malnutrition, necessitating urgent action from the international community to address this humanitarian disaster.

On the morning of Sunday, Israeli occupation forces arrested two young men from Jenin Governorate, as these arrests come as part of the ongoing campaign against Palestinians in the area.

According to the Prisoners' Club, released prisoner Ashraf Al-Jad'a was arrested after a raid on his home in the town of Burqin west of Jenin, where the house was thoroughly searched.

Occupation forces also arrested young man Yazeed Abu Al-Heija after raiding his home in the Jabriyat neighborhood of Jenin city, highlighting the escalation of arrests in the city.

Additionally, occupation forces arrested young man Khaled Rajeh Rabai'a from the town of Mithlon while he was passing through the Hamra checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley, reflecting the ongoing tension in those areas.

The aggression of the occupation on the city and camp of Jenin has continued since January 21, resulting in the martyrdom of 45 Palestinians and the arrest of dozens, increasing the suffering of local residents.

Israeli violations in the occupied West Bank are escalating, as Palestinian cities and towns are subjected to repeated raids and arrests, raising concerns about the humanitarian and security situation in the region.

On the morning of Sunday, August 10, 2025, several Palestinian citizens were martyred and others were injured as a result of the occupation army targeting a group of aid seekers in various areas of the Gaza Strip.

According to a medical source at Al-Awda Hospital, 5 martyrs and 3 injuries were received due to the occupation targeting gatherings of citizens near the aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street, located south of the Wadi Gaza area in the middle of the strip.

Reports also indicated the martyrdom of another citizen and the injury of several aid seekers in the Al-Shakush area northwest of Rafah, reflecting the ongoing Israeli assaults on civilians in the strip.

Sources in Gaza hospitals announced the martyrdom of 17 citizens from the fire of the occupation army in several areas of the strip since dawn today, highlighting the escalation of violence and assaults against Palestinians.

Among the martyrs who fell today, there were 11 aid seekers in the central and southern Gaza Strip, underscoring the dangers faced by citizens while trying to obtain humanitarian assistance.

This escalation comes at a time when the besieged Gaza Strip is suffering from a severe humanitarian crisis, as residents face significant difficulties in obtaining basic aid.

The Minister of National Security in the occupying government, Itamar Ben Gvir, stated in a tweet on his official account that he will ask the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, to take immediate and practical measures to dismantle the Palestinian Authority.

Ben Gvir emphasized that this step should be a response to what he described as the 'illusions' of the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), regarding the establishment of a 'Palestinian state.'

He added that the so-called 'terrorist authority' led by Abbas must be crushed, noting that these steps are necessary in light of the current situation.

Ben Gvir's statements come at a sensitive time, as tensions are rising in the occupied Palestinian territories, and many Palestinians are concerned about potential escalation.

This issue is expected to be the focus of discussion in the upcoming meeting of the security cabinet, as Ben Gvir seeks to strengthen his position within the government.

These statements are part of the current Israeli government's policy towards the Palestinian Authority, which is characterized by rigidity and increasing pressure on the Palestinians.

Israeli Knesset member from the 'Religious Zionism' party, Tzvi Sukkot, threatened to call for early elections if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not adopt a 'more aggressive war plan' towards the besieged Gaza Strip.

These threats came hours after sharp criticism directed at Netanyahu by the leader of the far-right party, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, for not making an immediate decision to occupy Gaza.

Sukkot, who expressed his opinion via X platform, confirmed that the current situation requires more decisive action, stating: 'If this is the situation, in my humble opinion, we need to go to elections.'

Netanyahu's government has faced accusations from the opposition for over a year of failing to manage the situation, as it rejects calls for early elections instead of the scheduled elections in 2026.

The 'Times of Israel' commented on Sukkot's post, noting that he seems to be threatening to topple the government if it does not adopt a more aggressive strategy towards Gaza.

These statements come amid rising pressure on Netanyahu from within the ruling coalition, as some members seek to take a tougher stance on the Palestinian issue.

Young man Abdullah Muhammad Atiyat (25 years old) was killed this morning, Sunday, after succumbing to critical injuries he sustained from the occupation's gunfire in the city of Jericho, yesterday evening, Saturday.

Local sources reported that young Atiyat was transferred early this morning from Jericho Government Hospital to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem due to the severity of his health condition, until his martyrdom was announced this morning.

It is noted that the occupation soldiers fired at young Atiyat during a raid on Hisham Palace Street in the middle of the city, which led to injuries in the upper part of his body, where his condition was described as critical at the time.

The occupation forces had stormed several streets and neighborhoods in the city of Jericho yesterday evening, amid live gunfire, resulting in a state of tension and fear among the citizens.

This incident comes amid the escalation of Israeli violations against the Palestinians, as citizens suffer from daily assaults by the occupation army.

Hebrew media reported on Sunday that the occupying cabinet will hold an extraordinary session in full to approve a comprehensive plan to completely occupy the Gaza Strip.

This step comes amid escalating tensions in the region, as the occupation seeks to implement new plans that enhance its control over Palestinian territories.

The proposed plans include military and economic strategies aimed at full control of the Gaza Strip, which increases the suffering of the Palestinian people.

These developments coincide with international calls to stop the aggression on Gaza, yet the occupation seems determined to carry out its plans.

This approval is expected to provoke strong reactions from Palestinians and the international community, who believe that the occupation exacerbates the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the strip.

The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli decision to reoccupy the Gaza Strip, noting that this decision has serious implications for the humanitarian situation in the region.

In an official statement, the ministry clarified that the implementation of these decisions would exacerbate the already dramatic situation on the Palestinian side, which is already suffering from a suffocating humanitarian crisis.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also warned that these steps could worsen international efforts aimed at de-escalating the conflict in the region, which could negatively impact the stability of the entire Middle East.

Russia emphasized the need for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the release of all hostages and detainees, and the restoration of unhindered humanitarian access.

The ministry reiterated Moscow's firm position that there is no alternative to resolving the Palestinian issue in accordance with the principles recognized in international law, including the two-state solution principle.

This principle calls for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, to coexist peacefully and securely alongside the occupying state.

Several citizens were martyred and injured today, Sunday, by the gunfire and shelling of the occupation in various areas of the Gaza Strip. Medical sources reported the martyrdom of 4 citizens in an airstrike by an occupation drone targeting a gathering in the center of Khan Younis.

The sources also confirmed that two martyrs fell and others were injured by the occupation's gunfire while waiting for aid near the Netzarim junction, reflecting the ongoing assaults on civilians in the besieged enclave.

In a related context, several citizens were martyred and others injured while waiting for aid from the occupation's fire in the south of Khan Younis, exacerbating the suffering of the population, which is facing a severe shortage of humanitarian assistance.

Occupation Apache helicopters are firing east of Gaza City, where assaults on civilians continue daily, raising concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupying state has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to cease its actions.

The genocide committed by the occupying state has resulted in 61,369 martyrs and 152,850 injured, most of whom are children and women, in addition to over 9,000 missing persons, along with hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals suffering from harsh conditions.

These crimes continue amid international silence, raising questions about the fate of civilians in Gaza and how to end this ongoing suffering.

New York City witnessed massive protests organized by human rights and humanitarian organizations in front of the Israeli consulate, where demonstrators gathered to condemn Israeli policies towards the Palestinian people.

These protests come in light of what is happening in the besieged Gaza Strip, characterized by a genocide and a deliberate policy of starvation, which has sparked the anger of the demonstrators who raised Palestinian flags and chanted slogans rejecting the occupation.

Participants in the protests affirmed that their movement aims to deliver a clear message of rejecting the occupation and exposing its practices to the international community, emphasizing the importance of popular solidarity in pressuring for justice.

The demonstrators also expressed their condemnation of Israeli policies targeting Palestinian civilians, demanding an end to the violations and the ongoing aggression.

These protests reflect the rising public anger within the United States regarding the situation in the Palestinian territories, as demonstrators seek to motivate the international community to take a firm stance against the occupation.

This event is part of a series of protests that have taken place in various American cities, reflecting the increasing awareness and support for the Palestinian cause within American circles.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that he has lost "confidence" that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to lead the army towards a decisive victory in the genocide Israel has been waging against the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

Smotrich added in a video posted on his account on the X platform that the decision of the security cabinet (the cabinet) to occupy Gaza in order to bring Hamas back to the negotiating table "is foolish and illogical."

He pointed out that "sending thousands of soldiers and creating a danger to their lives in a military operation in Gaza and paying diplomatic and international costs just to exert pressure on Hamas to release the hostages and then withdraw is a moral folly and illogical."

Smotrich continued: "Unfortunately, for the first time since the beginning of the war, I feel that I cannot support this decision or endorse it. I have lost confidence that the Prime Minister can or wants to lead the army to achieve that."

Smotrich's statements represent a rejection of the plan to reoccupy Gaza announced by the Israeli government two days ago, and he is known for his support of plans for the forced displacement of Palestinians from the strip along with settlement in it.

Earlier, the Israeli security cabinet approved a "gradual plan" to fully occupy the Gaza Strip and displace Palestinians from the north to the south, which Netanyahu presented in a move that faced objections from security leaders due to the danger it posed to the lives of hostages and Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian sector.

Smotrich downplayed the significance of this plan, saying that "Netanyahu and the cabinet decided to carry out a military operation whose goal is not a decisive victory, but to exert pressure on Hamas for a partial prisoner deal."

He called on Netanyahu to "convene the cabinet again and declare unequivocally that there will be no stopping in the middle anymore, and no partial deal," urging him to "take a decisive and clear step towards victory."

Smotrich continuously protests against calls for merely conducting airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, demanding that the war continue until the Palestinians are displaced from it for the purpose of settlement.

The private Israeli Channel 14 quoted a senior official in the "Religious Zionism" party, led by Smotrich, as saying that the cabinet's decision is a "sharp fall," threatening to dismantle the government if the Gaza occupation plan does not change.

The plan approved by the Israeli government begins with the occupation of the city of Gaza by displacing its population of about one million to the south, then surrounding the city and conducting incursions into residential areas.

According to United Nations data, 87% of the area of the strip is already under Israeli occupation or subject to evacuation orders, warning that any new military expansion would have "catastrophic consequences."

During the ongoing genocide in the strip since October 7, 2023, the Israeli army occupied the entire city of Gaza except for small areas, remaining there for months before retreating in April 2024 from most of its areas after declaring the "destruction of Hamas's infrastructure in the city."

According to Palestinian officials, parts of the city of Deir al-Balah and the camps in the central governorate were not occupied by Israeli forces, but hundreds of buildings were destroyed there through aerial and artillery bombardment.

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

The Israeli genocide has resulted in 61,369 martyrs and 152,862 injured Palestinians, most of whom are children and women, with more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and famine that has claimed the lives of many, including children.

An NBC News report revealed that President Donald Trump yelled at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone conversation between them last week, where Trump asserted that the famine in Gaza is not fake and that he has seen evidence of it.

The phone conversation took place the day after Netanyahu claimed that there is no starvation policy in Gaza and that there is no famine. However, Trump confirmed to him that he had seen images of children in Gaza looking very hungry, emphasizing that there is a real famine that cannot be faked.

Later, Netanyahu requested to speak with Trump again, claiming that the famine in Gaza is not real and that Hamas is fabricating the famine. But Trump interrupted Netanyahu and began yelling that he does not want to hear that the famine is fake, asserting that his aides provided him with evidence that children in Gaza are starving.

One source described the conversation between Trump and Netanyahu as direct and primarily one-sided, with Trump mainly discussing the state of humanitarian aid.

The source noted that the United States does not feel that the situation is dire, but it bears responsibility due to the activities of the Gaza humanitarian organization. This conversation led to the visit of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to Israel and his entry into the Gaza Strip to visit one of the four centers of the Gaza humanitarian organization for distributing food supplies.

Netanyahu's office later denied that the conversation involved yelling from Trump, describing it as completely false news.

Last week, Trump stated that Israel should feed the people in Gaza, emphasizing that his country does not want people in the Gaza Strip to starve, and that bad things are happening there at the moment.

Trump added that his country wants people in Gaza to receive food, confirming that the United States is the only country that is truly doing this and providing money for that purpose.

Trump described the situation in Gaza as shocking, shameful, and catastrophic, explaining that they provided $60 million two weeks ago for aid in Gaza, and he just wanted the people there to get food, noting that he does not see results in Gaza from the aid they provided.

In a new development regarding efforts to end the aggression on the Gaza Strip, sources within the Israeli occupation revealed the possibility of reaching a partial deal soon between the Israeli occupation entity and Hamas, amid intense American, Qatari, and Egyptian pressure to resume negotiations and ceasefire.

An official in Tel Aviv informed Channel 12 on Saturday evening that there is a real opportunity to reach a partial deal regarding the Gaza Strip in the near future. The Hebrew broadcasting authority "Kan 11" indicated that the United States, Qatar, and Egypt are exerting intense pressure on both parties to return to the negotiating table.

Mediators are trying to resume negotiations before the implementation of the occupation's plan, which was approved by the Israeli cabinet (the security cabinet) during its meeting on Thursday night - Friday. Sources familiar with the negotiations indicate the possibility of pushing a deal that could prevent the complete occupation of the city of Gaza.

Tel Aviv has clarified to Washington the possibility of temporarily halting the military operation to allow for the conclusion of the deal, even if it has already begun. The official in Tel Aviv confirmed that "the door is still open for the possibility of reaching an agreement, despite the opposition within the cabinet."

The current efforts are focused on advancing the proposal of U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, with indications that Hamas may return to the negotiating table. The humanitarian aid flowing into Gaza is reducing the starvation campaign, which may push Hamas to negotiate.

In a related context, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to discuss the proposal for the release of Israeli prisoners all at once.

On the other hand, the American site "Axios" reported that the Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer said during the cabinet session that the Trump administration will present an offer to end the war in the coming weeks. However, an official in Tel Aviv involved in the negotiations pointed out that there is a significant gap between the occupation and Hamas regarding the terms for ending the war.

Israeli settlers launched a series of assaults and attacks on Palestinian properties in the occupied West Bank on Saturday evening, which included burning tents, threats, and uprooting trees.

The "Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights and Targeted Villages" reported that settlers attacked a Palestinian Bedouin gathering and burned their tents in the village of Ain Ayoub, west of Ramallah, causing significant damage to property.

The organization also stated that settlers assaulted families from the Arab al-Ka'abneh in the Khala'il area, northeast of Ramallah, giving them a deadline of no more than two weeks to leave their homes and lands.

In northern West Bank, settlers attacked a water spring and prevented Palestinians from watering their livestock from it, specifically targeting the "Al-Himma" spring in the northern Jordan Valley.

The organization added that settlers threw quantities of dead dogs and cats near the citizens' tents, in an attempt to instill fear and pressure them.

Hassan Malihat, the organization's supervisor, warned that Bedouin communities in the West Bank are facing increasing challenges due to actions targeting tents and agricultural lands, which directly affects the lives and stability of the residents.

Malihat called on the international community to urgently intervene to provide international protection for the residents and to stop the escalating wave of assaults.

According to a report by the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, settlers carried out 466 assaults against Palestinians and their properties in July, resulting in the deaths of 4 citizens and the forced displacement of two Bedouin communities consisting of 50 Palestinian families.

Since October 7, 2023, the occupying state, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starving, destroying, and displacing, while ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop.

On the evening of Saturday, August 9, 2025, Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Qusra located south of Nablus, where the town experienced a state of high tension.

According to local sources, the occupation forces invaded the southeastern side of Qusra, with heavy gunfire and tear gas canisters being fired, causing panic among the residents.

During the incursion, the occupation forces arrested two brothers, Wissam and Siraj Mahmoud, before withdrawing from the area.

In a related context, other local sources reported that several occupation vehicles stormed the town of Sebastia northwest of Nablus, patrolling the streets of the town, but no confrontations or arrests were reported in that area.

Violations of the occupation against Palestinian children continue, as the arrest of children is considered part of the systematic policy of occupation against the Palestinian people.

Many cities in Europe and Asia are witnessing several demonstrations calling for an end to the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip and for humanitarian aid to be delivered to the starving civilians trapped there.

In Amsterdam, protesters urged the Dutch government to take firm action against Israel, including imposing strict sanctions and severing political and military relations with it, affirming their determination to continue protesting in the streets and in front of military institutions until their demands are met.

A massive demonstration also took place in the British capital, London, with tens of thousands participating to demand sanctions against the Israeli government and an end to arms exports to it. Protesters criticized what they saw as the British government's failure to take firm stances commensurate with the scale of the humanitarian tragedy resulting from the ongoing siege and starvation in the region.

In this context, the police stated that they had arrested more than 50 people during their participation in a demonstration in front of Parliament protesting Britain's decision to ban the movement 'Palestine Action.'

Other European capitals and cities also witnessed similar demonstrations, notably in the French capital Paris, the Swedish Stockholm, the German Berlin, and the Greek Athens.

Further demonstrations are expected to take place this evening in the Danish capital Copenhagen and in Istanbul, Turkey, where a nighttime march in solidarity with Gaza is set to begin from the historic Beyazıt Square in the city center and end at the Hagia Sophia Mosque.

On the other side of the globe, Malaysian popular and government organizations condemned the war crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip and throughout Palestine. Thousands of protesters gathered in Independence Square in the capital Kuala Lumpur at the invitation of civil institutions supporting the Palestinian people.

For its part, the Malaysian government renewed its condemnation of what it described as genocide, reaffirming its commitment to demanding the establishment of an independent Palestinian state without preconditions.

In Australia, dozens of Australians demonstrated in the capital Canberra, calling for an end to the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip and for the delivery of aid. The protesters chanted slogans denouncing the ongoing Israeli military operations and the starvation targeting the residents of the region.

They also called for pressure on the Israeli government to open the crossings and allow humanitarian and medical aid to enter. In South Korea, demonstrators took to the streets in the capital Seoul in solidarity and support for Gaza and Palestine.

The ministerial committee tasked by the extraordinary Arab Islamic summit regarding developments in the Gaza Strip, which includes 23 countries, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, expressed today, Saturday, its rejection of Tel Aviv's announcement of its intention to fully reoccupy the strip.

The committee stated in a joint statement published by the foreign ministries of several countries: "We strongly condemn and categorically reject Israel's announcement of its intention to impose complete military control over the Gaza Strip," considering that "this announcement constitutes a dangerous and unacceptable escalation, a violation of international law, and an attempt to entrench illegal occupation and impose a fait accompli by force that contradicts relevant international legitimacy resolutions."

It continued: "This declared approach by Israel comes as a continuation of its grave violations based on killing, starvation, attempts at forced displacement, annexation of Palestinian land, and settler terrorism."

It added that these "crimes may amount to crimes against humanity, as they undermine any opportunity for achieving peace, undermine regional and international efforts aimed at calming tensions and ending the conflict, and exacerbate serious violations against the Palestinian people, who have faced for 22 months, aggression and a comprehensive siege that has affected all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip and serious violations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

The statement held "the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the crimes of genocide and the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe witnessed in the Gaza Strip," calling on "the international community, especially the permanent members of the Security Council, to assume their legal and humanitarian responsibilities, and to take urgent action to stop the aggressive Israeli policies aimed at undermining opportunities for achieving a just and lasting peace and eliminating the prospects for implementing the two-state solution and achieving just and comprehensive peace."

The statement also called for "immediate accountability for all violations committed by Israel against international law and international humanitarian law, including those that amount to genocide."

On Friday morning, the Israeli government approved a gradual plan presented by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fully occupy the Gaza Strip and displace Palestinians from the north to the south.

The plan begins with the occupation of Gaza City, by displacing its population of about one million to the south, then surrounding the city and conducting incursions into residential areas, followed by a second phase that includes the occupation of refugee camps in the central strip that Tel Aviv has destroyed large parts of.

The statement emphasized "the necessity of an immediate and comprehensive cessation of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, and stopping the ongoing violations committed by the occupation forces against civilians and infrastructure in the strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem."

The statement demanded Israel "as the occupying power, to allow the urgent and unconditional entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, including sufficient food, medicine, and fuel, and to ensure the freedom of operation for relief agencies and international humanitarian organizations in accordance with international humanitarian law and applicable international humanitarian standards."

The statement affirmed "support for efforts aimed at a ceasefire, made by both the Arab Republic of Egypt, the State of Qatar, and the United States of America, to reach an agreement for the exchange of prisoners and hostages (Israelis held by Palestinian factions in Gaza), as a fundamental humanitarian entry point to de-escalate tensions, alleviate suffering, and end the Israeli aggression."

On July 24, Israel withdrew from indirect negotiations with "Hamas" in Doha, after Tel Aviv's obstinacy regarding withdrawal from Gaza, ending the genocide, Palestinian prisoners, and the mechanism for distributing humanitarian aid.

Tel Aviv estimates that there are 50 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in its jails suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, which has led to the deaths of many of them, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.

The ministerial committee's statement also emphasized "the necessity of immediately starting to implement the Arab Islamic plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, and calling for effective participation in the reconstruction conference for Gaza scheduled to be held in Cairo soon."

In March, both the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation adopted a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza without displacing Palestinians from it, which will take five years to implement and cost about $53 billion.

However, Israel and the United States rejected the plan, insisting on President Donald Trump's scheme to displace Gazan Palestinians to neighboring countries like Egypt and Jordan, which both countries rejected, joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations.

The statement expressed "rejection and condemnation of any attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and we emphasize the necessity of preserving the existing legal and historical

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti said today, Saturday, that he and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan confirmed the joint efforts of the two countries to confront the Israeli occupation's decision to fully occupy Gaza by all means. This came during a joint press conference for the two ministers in New Alamein City.

Abdel Atti explained that there is an agreement with Turkey regarding ways to deal with the crises facing the region, noting that relations between Egypt and Turkey are witnessing an important phase of strategic convergence.

He added: "I agreed with Minister Fidan to condemn Israel's decision to fully occupy Gaza, and we confirmed our joint efforts to confront this decision by all means."

For his part, the Turkish Foreign Minister described during the joint press conference the plan to fully occupy Gaza as "a new phase of Israel's expansionist and genocidal policy."

Fidan pointed out that, in his capacity as the current president of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, he decided to invite the member states to a meeting to discuss the Israeli plan to occupy Gaza.

Fidan emphasized that Turkey and Egypt will continue to stand against such scenarios, and he touched on the humanitarian aid sent from Turkey to Gaza, explaining that Turkey has sent to date about 102,000 tons of humanitarian aid to our brothers in Gaza.

Fidan also expressed his gratitude to Egypt for the close cooperation in delivering aid, noting that the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, via X platform, confirmed that the Egyptian and Turkish ministers held extensive discussions on files of bilateral cooperation to enhance Egyptian-Turkish relations.

The two ministers discussed developments in Gaza (Israeli genocide), Libya, Syria, Sudan, and the Horn of Africa, according to the same source.

Meanwhile, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in New Alamein, northwest of the country, according to a statement from the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

In the context of a genocide and a massive humanitarian disaster involving killing and starvation in the besieged sector, the announcement of the Israeli occupation's intention to occupy the city of Gaza and displace its residents to camps faced widespread international opposition and warnings of worsening humanitarian disaster in the sector, which has been subjected to unprecedented war for nearly two years.

The United Nations Security Council is holding an emergency meeting today, Saturday, to discuss the Israeli announcement.

An Israeli drone targeted a vehicle on Saturday between the towns of Aitaroun and Ainata in southern Lebanon, launching four missiles in a new violation of the ceasefire agreement reached in late 2024.

The Lebanese National News Agency reported that the airstrike carried out by the Israeli drone did not clarify whether it resulted in any casualties or injuries.

On Friday, journalist Mohammed Shahada, director of the "Hawana Lebanon" website, was martyred due to an airstrike by an Israeli drone on his car on the Sidon-Tyre road in the Nabatieh district of southern Lebanon.

The Lebanese agency also announced on Thursday that 8 people were killed, including a Syrian, and 12 others were injured as a result of three Israeli airstrikes targeting areas in eastern and southern Lebanon, marking the highest toll in three weeks.

It is noteworthy that Israel launched an aggression against Lebanon on October 8, 2023, which escalated into a wide war on September 23, 2024, resulting in more than 4,000 martyrs and about 17,000 injured.

On November 27, 2024, a ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and the occupying state came into effect, but Tel Aviv violated it more than 3,000 times, resulting in 280 martyrs and 586 injured according to official data.

In defiance of the ceasefire agreement, the occupying army executed a partial withdrawal from southern Lebanon while continuing to occupy five hills it seized during the recent war.

On the evening of Saturday, settlers uprooted olive trees in Khirbat Mas'ud, located southwest of Jenin, which sparked the anger of local residents.

Local sources reported that bulldozers belonging to the settlers uprooted several olive trees on citizens' lands, with the aim of paving colonial roads leading to the settlement established in the area since 2019.

Last week, the occupation's bulldozers began leveling lands and olive trees owned by citizens from Zubda and Khirbat Mas'ud, marking the cultivated olive tree lands with orange signs, despite the fact that the owners possess ownership documents and specific land titles.

Khirbat Mas'ud is part of the Zubda village council and consists of three population clusters: Iraq al-Dawar, Khirbat Faris, and Khirbat al-Qusur, with approximately 350 residents.

The occupation is leveling areas adjacent to the colonial outpost established on the mountain and seizing dozens of agricultural dunams in the region, which extends from Qafin to the mountains of Ya'bad south of Jenin.

These violations come in the context of the ongoing occupation policy of seizing Palestinian lands, which increases the suffering of citizens and threatens their livelihoods.
