October 21, 2025At least 44 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza on Sunday despite ceasefire
Abdelraouf Arnaout, Rania Abu Shamala, AA. com, 20.10.2025
Israeli premier says 153 tons of bombs dropped on Gaza, admits breach of ceasefire deal Israel begins a series of attacks across Gaza despite the ceasefire, and thick smoke rises from the eastern part of Khan Yunis, Gaza, following the attacks, on October 19, 2025.
JERUSALEM/ISTANBUL
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted Monday that his army struck the Gaza Strip on Sunday with 153 tons of bombs, in what amounts to an admission of violating a ceasefire agreement.
Speaking at the opening of the Knessetโs winter session, Netanyahu faced repeated interruptions from opposition lawmakers protesting his governmentโs policies and its deliberate prolonging of the Israeli war in Gaza.
โDuring the ceasefire, two soldiers fellโฆ We struck them with 153 tons of bombs and attacked dozens of targets across the Gaza Strip,โ he said.
The Gaza government media office reported 80 Israeli ceasefire violations since the US-sponsored agreement came into effect on Oct. 10, resulting in 97 Palestinians killed, including 44 on Sunday alone, and 230 others injured.
Tel Aviv alleged that Hamas had attacked its forces in the southern city of Rafah. The Palestinian group has denied any involvement and reaffirmed its commitment to the ceasefire agreement.
The ceasefire deal was announced on Oct. 10, based on a phased plan presented by US President Donald Trump. Phase one included the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.
Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed over 68,200 people and injured more than 170,200, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

October 17, 2025Oh what a surprise,
Goes to Marรญa Corina Machado
A supporter of Trump and Bolsonaro,
A woman who supports Netanyahu
A wanted war criminal.
Whatโs wrong with this Norwegian team,
It seems they donโt know what โPeaceโ means!
Why was Francesca Albanese overlooked,
A woman the world canโt corrupt.
She has tirelessly worked to show the truth to the world,
But in Norway, has her voice been heard?
Or maybe Greta Thunberg? Who twice has sailed with humanitarian aid.
This young woman is so brave.
A warrior for peace and justice
For the climate and for humanity,
that the committee failed to see!
I wonder if they discussed Ms. Rachel?
So gentle and mild,
has shown love to every child.
Another woman who seems more worthy,
was she discussed by the committee?
Bisan Owda, a brave journalist,
How did the committee miss?
Is it because sheโs Palestinian,
That she isnโt winninโ?
The prize could have been given to all the Gazan journalists!
Did they even make the final list?
Or the Global Sumud Flotilla, who bravely sailed,
A humanitarian mission, that sadly failed,
To arrive on Gazaโs shores,
By the Committee were they ignored?
Or how about the Doctors, the nurses and medical workers
In Gaza working day and night.
Has the committee seen their plight?
Or were they afraid of being called antisemitic?
If workers in Gaza were to get it?
When one thing is clear, these 5 Norwegians arenโt a Peace committee,
They are just part of the Western Hegemony.
The Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke,
They might as well have given it to the orange bloke!

October 9, 2025President Trump said he may soon travel to the region

President Trump has announced that Israel and Hamas have both โsigned offโ on the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire deal.
โI am very proud to announce that Israel and Hamas have both signed off on the first Phase of our Peace Plan. This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace. All Parties will be treated fairly!โ the president wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday night.
โThis is a GREAT Day for the Arab and Muslim World, Israel, all surrounding Nations, and the United States of America, and we thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, who worked with us to make this Historic and Unprecedented Event happen. BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS!โ Trump added.
Drop Site News reported earlier that Hamas and other Palestinian factions had agreed to a framework for a Gaza ceasefire deal. Before his announcement, President Trump said that a deal was โvery closeโ and that he could be traveling to the region this weekend.
According to the Drop Site report, Hamas agreed to a deal that will involve Israeli troops remaining in Gaza after they release all of the Israeli captives. Hamas was initially opposed to a deal that didnโt include a full Israeli withdrawal along with the release of the hostages.
A source told Drop Site that Hamas was now trusting President Trump to guarantee that Israel wonโt restart its genocidal war. โTrusting [Trumpโs] word is the gamble they are taking. If it works, they will be considered geniuses. If it fails, they will be considered fools. Itโs as simple as that,โ the source said.
Israel previously broke a Gaza ceasefire deal that was signed in January and has constantly violated a Lebanon ceasefire deal that it signed in November 2024. After Trumpโs announcement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he will convene his government on Thursday to โapprove the agreement and bring all our dear hostages home.โ
Al Jazeera reported that Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza City as Palestinians were celebrating Trumpโs ceasefire announcement. Since President Trump called on Israel to โimmediatelyโ stop the bombing in Gaza on October 3, Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza. Israeli attacks have been less intense over the past two days, but they havenโt stopped.

October 8, 2025ย The Palestinian group accused Netanyahu of attempting to โobstruct and thwartโ a deal
by Kyle Anzalone, Antiwar. com, October 7, 2025
Hamas issued its demands for reaching an agreement with Israel to release the remaining hostages and end the war. Israel and Hamas are engaged in indirect negotiations to attempt to reach an agreement under a framework proposed by President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Hamas gave its demands for reaching a deal. The Palestinian groupโs positions include a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from all of Gaza, the unrestricted entry of humanitarian and relief aid, and the immediate rebuilding of the Strip overseen by Palestinians.
Demanding the full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza may create a barrier to reaching a deal. Under Trumpโs 20-point peace plan, Israel would engage in a phased withdrawal from Gaza but retain a large buffer zone around the Strip.
Additionally, the Presidentโs proposal called for the rebuilding of Gaza to be completed by a trust that includes Trump as the chair and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair on the board.
Trump unveiled the peace plan in a presser with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week. However, after Hamas agreed to release the Israeli hostages on Friday and Trump called for an immediate ceasefire, Netanyahu has continued military operations in Gaza.
Tuesdayโs negotiations between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, were the second day of talks. On Monday, Egyptian and Qatari officials reported the negotiations were โpositive,โ and Trump said the deal had a โgood chance.โ
Netanyahu has remained pessimistic that a deal will be completed, reportedly leading to friction with Trump. On Friday, Axios reports, Trump lashed out at Netanyahu on a call when he expressed skepticism about Hamas agreeing to release the hostages.
Hamas and Trump have said that a ceasefire is critical to facilitating the release of the remaining 48 Israeli hostages in Gaza. Israeli strikes in Gaza continued on Tuesday. Netanyahu says he will not order the IDF to halt operations until all the hostages are returned to Israel.
Hamasโs spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, said that the group was working to โovercome all obstaclesโ to reach an agreement, but Netanyahu was attempting to โobstruct and thwartโ a deal as he had โdeliberately thwarted all previous rounds.โ
Israel has assassinated multiple Hamas negotiators over the past two years. Last month, Netanyahu ordered the assassination of the Palestinian groupโs leadership in Qatar as they were meeting to discuss a ceasefire and hostage exchange proposed by Trump. The Israeli strikes failed to kill the targeted Hamas official.
On Tuesday, Trump said he had dispatched American negotiators to join the ongoing talks in Egypt.

Uncle Tomism is the defining trait of people who get some prominent official positions under the rule of colonial masters, who were instrumental in creating the monster that is now devouring Palestinians. As a rule, they do what their superiors ask them to do, and they do more than they were supposed to do.
Haven’t we seen what Priti Patel and Suella Braverman did before Shabana Mahmood stepped in as PM Starmer’s Home Secretary? She is a disgrace to the people who stand for the national rights of Palestinians, oppose their genocide by a terrorist colonial power in the Middle East and stand firm by their protests despite all the oppression and brutality of the Starmer government.
Shabana Mahmood is using the police force to suppress the voice of the protesters against the crimes of Israel. Her policy and actions to suppress the voice of the British protesters against what Israel has been and continues to do in Gaza is an affront to all those who value freedom to voice their views and oppose what the indicted war criminals do with impunity, merely because they are backed by US president Trump.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has been taken by Israeli forces after the interception of vessels from the Gaza aid flotilla.
Israelโs Foreign Ministry said on X that โseveral vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port,โ adding: โGreta and her friends are safe and healthy.โ
The ministry also shared a video showing Thunberg being escorted away. Israel has provided no substantive evidence to support the claim the flotilla is linked to Hamas.
Activists have called the interception illegal and โpiracyโ.
Gaza Plan Released by US Includes Significant Changes Requested by Netanyahu in Kushner-Witkoff Meeting
October 1, 2025According to a report from Axios, the changes infuriated Arab officials involved in the negotiations
by Dave DeCamp, Antiwar. com, September 30, 2025 at 1:43 pm ET | Gaza, Israel, Palestine
The Gaza ceasefire proposal released by the White House on Monday included significant changes that were requested by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Axios reported on Tuesday.
The Times of Israel also reported that Netanyahu was able to secure key changes to the proposal during a meeting on Sunday with US envoy Steve Witkoff and his top advisor, Jared Kushner. According to Axios, the release of the deal with the changes infuriated Arab officials involved in the negotiations.
At a press conference with Netanyahu, President Trump presented his proposal as something that has been widely accepted by the Arab world, though the deal was significantly different than what the US and a group of Arab and Muslim countries had previously agreed to due to the changes.
The changes were related to two of the most sensitive issues in the negotiations: the disarmament of Hamas and Israelโs withdrawal from Gaza. The new proposal ties Israelโs phased withdrawal from territory to the โdemilitarizationโ of Gaza and the ability of an international force to take over the land.
The proposal also essentially gives Israel and the US a veto over the withdrawal from Gaza by stating the IDF โwill withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the US.โ
According to The Times of Israel, the initial proposal approved by the Arab countries simply stated that the IDF โwill progressively hand over the Gaza territory that [it] occup[ies].โ Even after all conditions are met, the new proposal will allow Israel to occupy a perimeter zone until Gaza is โproperly secure from any resurgent terror threat.โ
While the language could be interpreted as a requirement for a full Israeli withdrawal, Netanyahu has made clear that he does not see it that way. โNow the whole world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is pressuring Hamas to accept the terms that we created together with Trump, to bring back all the hostages โ the living and the dead โ while the IDF stays in the Strip,โ he said in a video statement on Sunday night.
Hamasโs long-standing position has been that itโs willing to release all remaining Israeli captives in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas has also rejected the idea of disarming until the creation of a Palestinian state or a Palestinian force that could replace its armed wing.
While many details need to be worked out, Trump and Netanyahu have framed the proposal as a final offer that must be accepted or Israel will โfinish the jobโ in Gaza. Trump has also made clear heโs willing to continue backing the genocidal war if an agreement isnโt reached. โIf Hamas rejects the deal, Bibi you will have our full backing to do what you have to do,โ he said on Monday.
Trump said on Tuesday that he will give Hamas โthree or four daysโ to respond to the proposal. โAll of the Arab countries are signed up, the Muslim countries all signed up, Israelโs all signed up. Weโre just waiting for Hamas, and Hamas is either going to be doing it or not โ and if itโs not, itโs going to be a very sad end,โ he said.

September 30, 2025The flotillaโs ‘Orange Line’ crossing is the same waters where Israeli forces previously illegally seized the Handala and Madleen aid ships
The Cradle, News Desk, SEP 30, 2025,
The Global Sumud Flotilla reached 150 nautical miles from Gazaโs coast on 30 September, with activists declaring they are now in Israelโs โkidnapping zoneโ and warning of possible interception within the next two days.
โAs we approach 150 nautical miles distance from Gaza, we enter Israelโs kidnapping zone. Keep all eyes on us and on Gaza in the coming 48 hours. Itโs about damn time to break the siege,โ activist Roos Ykema said in a video posted on Instagram.
Organizers believe the fleet could arrive in Gaza within three days, depending on speed, weather, and the risk of mechanical breakdowns or Israeli attacks.
They have named the 150-mile line the โOrange Line,โ the point where previous aid ships such as the Madleen and Handala were illegally seized by Israeli naval forces earlier this year.
Rights groups are calling for demonstrations outside foreign ministries in case of arrests or assaults on the flotilla.
Italy and Spain have both sent warships to follow the convoy, reportedly to escort the aid fleet safely and guard against Israeli attacks.
Most recently, Turkiye confirmed its navy intervened after one of the ships began leaking, with footage showing frigates assisting the flotilla.
The Turkish Defense Ministry said on X that its vessels were operating โin coordination with relevant institutionsโ and reaffirmed their commitment to โthe protection of humanitarian values and the safety of innocent civilians.โ
The Flotilla has called on governments, including Turkiye, Italy, and Spain, to move past symbolic gestures and join the fleet to Gazaโs shores, upholding the right to free passage and ensuring humanitarian access under international law.
However, despite the assistance, calls to action, and pledges of support, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni previously dismissed the mission as โgratuitous, dangerous, irresponsible,โ insisting aid could be routed through Cyprus and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
Her proposal echoed Israeli demands that all supplies be unloaded at Ashkelon under its supervision, a condition flotilla organizers rejected as an extension of the blockade rather than a neutral arrangement.
Several of the Sumud Flotilla ships have already come under attack, including two struck by suspected Israeli drones while docked in Tunisia earlier this month.
An online tracker shows the vessels sailing near Egyptian waters and pressing toward Gaza. Despite tensions, activist Kieran Andrieu reported that morale on board โis higher than itโs been in a long time.โ
The fleet, carrying activists, journalists, and artists from 44 countries, is the latest attempt to shatter Israelโs siege on Gaza, where famine grips the population, and genocide continues unchallenged.
โWork with us or dieโ: Israel killing prominent Gaza families for refusing collaboration
September 29, 2025At least thirty members of the Dughmush family were killed after rejecting orders from Israelโs Shin Bet security service

Israel has targeted and killed members of prominent families in the Gaza Strip for refusing to cooperate with Tel Avivโs plan to create clan-based governing bodies aimed at replacing Hamas, according to a report by Asharq al-Awsat.
According to sources, Israel’s internal security agency, the Shin Bet, contacted the representatives of the Bakr and Dughmush families, who remain inside their homes in Gaza City. The Shin Bet plan includes dividing Gaza into different regions controlled by clans and local armed groups.
They would be tasked with confronting Hamas and providing intelligence to the Israeli army, the report says.
โAfter these families refused to cooperate with Shin Bet officers, Israeli forces launched a series of raids on inhabited and vacant homes belonging to members of these families and clans,โ the sources told Asharq al-Awsat.
Over the weekend, Israel struck the Bakr family home south of the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City. Six family members were killed and 11 were wounded.
A multistory building owned by the family was also bombed, resulting in the injury of several children.
In Gaza Cityโs Sabra neighborhood, Israel bombed a home and killed at least 30 members of the Dughmush family.
โIsraeli intelligence contacted the family’s mukhtar and elders and asked them to form an armed group to govern the Shati refugee camp area after it purges it of Hamas members. The family categorically refused to be part of this option,โ a source in the Bakr family said.
The Bakr family is one of the largest and most prominent families in the Gaza Strip. It plays a major role in the stripโs fishing industry.
โThe family’s decision stemmed from a national stance rejecting any form of cooperation with the occupation, and is not intended to support Hamas or any other organizational group,โ the family member added.
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor also confirmed that Israel is trying to coerce families to cooperate with them under the risk of starvation, forced displacement, or bombardment.
โWhat began as individual extortion has escalated into a systematic, collective practice aimed at dismantling Palestinian social fabric by forcing people to betray their communities and subordinating survivors to survival conditions that destroy communal identity and resilience,โ it said.
Several Israeli-backed armed groups are operating in the Gaza Strip under Tel Avivโs protection. These groups, which are tasked with confronting Hamas, are responsible for much of the aid looting that goes on in Gaza.
One of these groups is the Rafah-based gang headed by Yasser Abu Shabab โ a Fatah-linked militia leader with alleged ties to ISIS.
The gang is responsible for scouting and securing territory ahead of Israeli military operations. Additionally, Abu Shabab has been accused of drug trafficking.
In recent months, more of these militias have popped up.
According to Hebrew media reports, an ex-Palestinian Authority (PA) officer named Hossam al-Astal is now leading an armed group in Khan Yunis and coordinating with Israeli occupation forces. The group is reportedly actively recruiting members and advocating for peace with Israel.
In late 2024, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza established a police force in the strip called the Arrow (โSahemโ) Unit, aimed at combating aid looters and militias linked to Israel.
