{No essential supplies in truce: Gaza’s healthcare system broken by Israel
Israel is not allowing antibiotics, IV solutions or surgical material to enter besieged Gaza despite the 2-month ceasefire.
After being relentlessly decimated by bombs and starved of medical aid during Israel’s genocidal war, Gaza’s healthcare system remains on the brink of collapse despite nearly two months of a ceasefire. Doctors in the war-ravaged, besieged enclave say they are struggling to save lives because Israel is not allowing the most essential medical supplies in. Sweets, mobile phones and even electric bicycles are permitted to enter, but antibiotics, IV solutions and surgical materials are banned.
Gaza healthcare

“We are facing a situation in which 54 percent of essential medicines are unavailable, and 40 percent of the drugs for surgeries and emergency care – the very medications we rely on to treat the wounded – are missing,” Dr Munir al-Bursh, the director general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health, told Al Jazeera. The ministry describes the shortages as unprecedented, stating that Israel is allowing just five trucks carrying medical supplies into Gaza a week. Three trucks deliver supplies to international organisations such as the UN and its partners, and just two to government-run hospitals. That number is a tiny fraction of the aid Israel is obligated to supply Gaza under the ceasefire agreement – affecting other areas of Palestinian lives. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continues unabated, with some 600 violations of the ceasefire in the two months. “At least 600 trucks should be entering the Gaza Strip every single day, but what is entering is very little,” said Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary, reporting from Gaza City. “Cooking gas is only at 16 percent of what is needed; there is a shortage of shelters, tents, tarps and everything Palestinians need to shelter from the rain. We see Palestinians collecting wood, cartons and anything they can light up a fire with.” People living with chronic illnesses are bearing the burden of such restrictions. Naif Musbah, 68, who lives in the Nuseirat refugee camp, has colon cancer – and the supplies he needs to be treated are not available. “I need colostomy bases and bags so I can attach them to the stomach and the device in order to be able to pass stools. They are not available, nor are the bases, and we end up soiling ourselves. The situation is extremely difficult. There’s also no gauze, cold packs, adhesive tape, gloves or disinfectant solution – nothing,” Musbah told Al Jazeera. With no way to manage his condition, the sick Palestinian man says he feels as if the war has robbed him of his dignity. Meanwhile, doctors have been improvising with what little they have left, while the families of patients search for simple items to make the lives of their loved ones easier – items, they say, that should not be this hard to find. During Israel’s genocidal war – which has spanned more than two years – nearly all of Gaza’s hospitals and healthcare facilities were attacked, with at least 125 health facilities damaged, including 34 hospitals. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than 1,700 healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses and paramedics, have also been killed in Israeli attacks.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/7/no-gauze-no-gloves-israels-severe-restrictions-on-medical-aid-to-gaza

{Qatar’s PM calls for inclusive engagement to achieve elusive regional peace
Speaking at the Doha Forum, Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani says you cannot resolve a conflict ‘if you have no one speaking to non-state actors’.
Doha, Qatar – The prime minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, has called for inclusive engagement, including with non-state actors such as the Palestinian group Hamas, as the only viable route to regional peace. Speaking to United States journalist Tucker Carlson on Sunday at the Doha Forum, Sheikh Mohammed said you cannot resolve or reach a solution “if you have no one speaking to non-state actors”. The start of Qatar’s relationship with Hamas goes back more than 10 years, he said, adding that opening the group’s office in the country came at the request of the US, aiming to enhance communications with the armed group. “When they [Hamas] moved their office back in 2012 here [Qatar], it was used only for communication and to facilitate ceasefires and aid to Gaza,” Sheikh Mohammed, who is also the foreign minister, said. Qatar has also hosted the Taliban’s political office since 2013, during the group’s war with the US and the former Afghan government. The office was also established at Washington’s request to create a venue for potential peace negotiations. Sheikh Mohammed refuted allegations that any money going to Gaza went to Hamas, insisting it goes to the Palestinian people. “Politicians are trying to use this for short-term political gains … to fuel their narratives,” the prime minister stated. “All our aid, financing, and all our support … went to the people in Gaza, and was a very transparent process that the United States is very aware of … [and] Israel was the one facilitating. “This communication has led to ceasefires, has led to the release of hostages, has led to alleviating the suffering of the people over there,” he added.
Israeli attack on Qatar ‘unethical’
Discussing Israel’s shocking attack on Qatar in September, Sheikh Mohammed described it as an “unethical move”. “The concept of mediation is like having a safe place for conflicted parties to achieve a deal, to end wars and to end conflicts,” he said. “The mediator being bombed by one of the parties – this has been unprecedented.” The prime minister revealed that US President Donald Trump was caught off guard by Israel’s actions. “President Trump was very clear from the beginning… When he was informed about the attack, he assigned one of his advisers to reach out to us immediately. He expressed his frustration, his disappointment, because he knows everything about the process and how helpful we were throughout,” he said. “He made it very clear for everyone that this is like the red line, that he doesn’t want anyone to cross.”
Reconstructing Gaza
On the reconstruction of a devastated Gaza, following Israel’s ongoing two-year genocidal war, Sheikh Mohammed said Qatar would “continue supporting the Palestinian people”. “We will do whatever to alleviate their suffering,” he emphasised. However, he said Qatar “will not write the cheque for what others destroyed”. “When it comes to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we hear that Russia should fund all the reconstruction, and their assets should be seized to fund all the reconstruction of Ukraine,” he pointed out. “[But] when you are talking about Israel … and you say that Israel has the responsibility to rebuild what is destroyed, they will tell you no. It’s really a very ironic double standard. “Our position is that our payments will go only to help the Palestinian people, if we see that the help coming to them is insufficient,” Sheikh Mohammed added. According to UN estimates, 92 percent of all residential buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed since Israel’s war on the besieged enclave began on October 7, 2023, producing between 55-60 million tonnes of rubble. It has been estimated by the UN that it will take decades to rebuild. Moreover, the prime minister firmly opposed any forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel. “It’s hurting us when we hear people talking about the people of Gaza as some sort of different people,” he said. “They have the choice where to go, and they don’t want to leave their country,” he added. “I don’t see anyone has the right to deport them or to force them to go somewhere else.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/7/qatars-pm-calls-for-inclusive-engagement-to-achieve-elusive-peace

Al Jazeera - Dec 7, 2025 - By Said Alsaloul - Palestinian writer based in Gaza.
{Abu Shabab’s death signals the inevitable failure of Israel’s plan for Gaza
The Israeli efforts to establish Palestinian rule in Gaza loyal to the occupation are doomed.
“[The death of Yasser Abu Shabab] marks the end of a dark chapter – one that did not reflect our tribe’s history and principles …The Tarabin tribe stands with the Palestinian resistance in all its factions … it refuses to let our tribe’s name or members be exploited to form militias that work for the benefit of the occupation.” This is what Gaza’s Tarabin tribe said in a statement following the killing of its member Yasser Abu Shabab on December 4. There have been conflicting reports about how he died and who killed him. Some have said it was Hamas fighters who shot him, others that members of his own tribe did. Reportedly, he was taken to an Israeli hospital, where he died of his wounds. Israel framed the killing as a “tribal dispute” rather than retribution for his collaboration; this was also the position of the Popular Forces militia, which Abu Shabab commanded. This narrative, of course, ignores the fact that his own tribe saw him as a collaborator and welcomed his death. Throughout the war, Abu Shabab’s name was synonymous with collaboration with Israel. He was a key partner in Gaza in securing safe passage for Israeli troops, searching for Israeli captives, killing Palestinian resistance members, and, most infamously, looting aid trucks. Before he was killed, Abu Shabab was reportedly being considered for the position of governor of Rafah to be appointed by Israel. His death deals a massive blow to Israel’s efforts to establish a new Palestinian administration in Gaza that responds to its wishes and oppresses the Palestinians. It is yet another proof that the Palestinian people will never accept colonial rule. For decades, Israel has used collaborators to undermine Palestinian unity and governance. In the early 1980s, it spearheaded the creation of so-called “village leagues” in the occupied West Bank. These represented institutions of local rule headed by individuals funded and protected by Israel in exchange for their loyalty. The aim was to diminish the influence of the Palestine Liberation Organization and spread disunity. However, the leagues were rejected by the Palestinians as illegitimate, and the whole initiative collapsed within a few years.
Now Israel is trying to replicate the same model in Gaza. Funding and arming Abu Shabab was supposed to create a centre of coercive power in Gaza, which would have been fully loyal to Israel. It would have allowed the Israeli occupation to come after the resistance, exterminating its fighters, without having to get its soldiers involved any more or bearing the diplomatic cost of doing so. Even if Abu Shabab had not succeeded in establishing control over Rafah or the whole of Gaza, sowing internal conflict would have been beneficial enough for Israel. It would have undermined internal security in Gaza, damaging the cohesion of the Palestinian society and encouraging people to leave.
But just like in the past, Israel’s plan was doomed to fail.
Although Abu Shabab had significant financial and military support from the occupation, he could not convince his tribe to follow him or the people of Rafah to join him. He was only able to recruit takfiri extremists, criminals and formerly imprisoned collaborators. The vast majority of Palestinians saw him as a collaborator. Abu Shabab could not recruit even among those who oppose or dislike the resistance factions because they too would not sell out their principles and work for the genocidal power killing Palestinians every day. While Abu Shabab provided Israel with security and technical services on the ground, his power was built entirely on crimes and theft, which made him just a hated traitor, not a leader. Despite bragging in videos about giving away stolen aid to the poor or building tent camps with looted tents, he was unable to rally people behind himself. The Israeli plan to make Abu Shabab into a governor failed because it failed to take into account that one cannot build legitimate governance on crimes. As much as Israel tried to protect him, his death was inevitable. His tribe and others in Rafah could not accept his collaboration with the occupation, which hurt their honour and longstanding moral ground. When news of Abu Shabab’s death spread, people in Gaza celebrated, going out into the streets and distributing sweets. Palestinians who had different perspectives about Hamas’s actions were united in their joy. Israel’s attempt to put its hand on Gaza’s future was severed. Abu Shabab’s death, in the end, sent a powerful message: that any collaborator is a target and no collaborator can achieve legitimacy. After more than two years of genocide, the Palestinian people’s spirit has not broken; they have not given up on their land and on their just cause.

{Israel Showcases Arms Tested in Gaza Genocide to European and Asian Countries: Report
Israeli defense companies showcased battlefield technology, tested during the two-year genocide in Gaza.
London (QNN)- Israeli defense companies showcased battlefield technology, tested during the two-year genocide in Gaza, at a conference last week attended by dozens of European and Asian countries. A video of two Israeli attack drones striking a building in Gaza before plumes of smoke emerged was shown. According to The Wall Street Journal, Israel’s Defense Tech Week took place on Monday and Tuesday. It was sponsored in part by the Israeli defence ministry along with Tel Aviv University. One video was shown at the event of two Israeli attack drones flying into a building in Gaza before plumes of smoke emerged.  Israel's conference drew over 2,000 participants, including officials from Germany, Norway, the UK, India, Uzbekistan, Singapore, Canada, and Norway. A delegation from the European Union mingled in the same room with uniformed Israeli military generals and fighter pilots who took part in the genocide, the report said. “You see the first one hitting on the left side…and then the second one goes to its own target,” Ran Gozali, CEO of UVision Air, an Israeli defense-technology company, told the audience.“These are some of the clips that we were approved to share.” “Israel in the war, for good or for bad, proved what worked and what didn’t,” said Alon Lifshitz, founding partner of Aurelius Capital, a venture-capital firm based in Tel Aviv and New York that specializes in dual-use technologies and cybersecurity for national-security applications. Many European states imposed arms embargoes on Israeli companies during the genocide, fully or partially limiting military imports and exports, over the genocide which has killed more than 70,000 in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. However, following the fragile ceasefire that took effect in early October and has been repeatedly violated by Israel, these countries rushed to lift the sanctions or took part in the Israeli event. In August, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the largest in the world and owned by the government but managed independently of political decisions, said it had divested from American construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar Inc, and five Israeli banks over human rights violations in Gaza. However, Norwegian officials attended the arms fair. In September, Israeli officials were banned by the UK government from attending the country's leading arms fair in London over the assault in Gaza. Last week, British embassy officials toured the event. The British embassy in Israel confirmed to the WSJ that its officials attended the event. Germany, Israel’s second-largest arms supplier after the US and its fifth-largest export partner who long standing as one of Israel’s staunchest supporters, halted shipments of military equipment to Israel that could be used in Gaza, before lifting the embargo after the current ceasefire took effect.  Germany sent one of the largest delegations to the Israeli conference. Participants wore pins with united German and Israeli flags.  On Wednesday, reports confirmed that an Arrow 3 air-defense system that Germany purchased from Israel for about $4 billion became fully operational, becoming the first Arrow system to be deployed outside of Israel and the US. It was the largest arms deal in Israel’s history, WSJ said.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66840&slug=israel-showcases-arms-tested-in-gaza-genocide-to-european-and-asian-countries-report

Gaza: Israeli Forces Kill Seven Palestinians, Ceasefire Mediators Urge Israel to Withdraw
Gaza (QNN)- At least seven Palestinian civilians were killed on Saturday in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, marking another violation of the ceasefire that took effect in early October. Meanwhile, ceasefire mediators have urged Israel to immediately withdraw from the war-torn enclave to fully carry out the fragile agreement. According to medical sources, seven people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Saturday, including an elderly mother and her son in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, who were shot by an Israeli quadcopter. A Civil Defense worker also succumbed to injuries he sustained in an Israeli attack in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza on Friday while inspecting his home, bringing the total number of Civil Defense personnel killed across Gaza since the start of the Israeli genocide to 142. According to Mahmoud Basal, Gaza’s Civil Defense spokesperson, “The Israeli occupation continues its systematic killing of civilians in the Gaza Strip.” “Our message to the world, the international community, and the mediators is this: How much longer will the killing of unarmed people continue? You must act before more lives are taken.” On Sunday morning, medical sources at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza confirmed that a child was wounded by Israeli gunfire outside the yellow line in al-Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City. Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire which is now in its 58th day. Since the start of the ceasefire, Israeli forces have killed at least 367 people and wounded more than 950 others. Since the start of the war in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 70,354 people and wounded 171,030. Qatar and Egypt, the states serving as guarantors of the Gaza ceasefire, on Saturday called on Israel to withdraw from Gaza and for an international stabilisation force be deployed, steps they say are essential to fully carry out the fragile agreement. Mediators are now working to advance the next phase of the ceasefire, which outlines these measures, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said during a panel discussion at the Doha Forum conference in Qatar's capital on Saturday.  "Now we are at the critical moment. It's not yet there. So what we have just done is a pause," Al Thani told the annual diplomatic gathering. “A ceasefire cannot be completed unless there is a full withdrawal of the Israeli forces, [and] there is stability back in Gaza, people can go in and out - which is not the case today."} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66839&slug=gaza-israeli-forces-kill-seven-palestinians-ceasefire-mediators-urge-israel-to-withdraw

Trauma therapy Reaches All Children
Quds News - Dec 6, 2025 - By: Malak Hani Radwan
{Gaza Engineers and Therapists Turn to VR as Trauma Reaches All Children
A new virtual-reality therapy program is emerging as a critical tool for mental-health workers treating Gaza’s youngest survivors, offering a rare space for relief inside a war-shattered environment. War continues to leave deep marks not only on bodies but also on the minds of Gaza’s population, disrupting sleep, daily movement, and memory. For many, the constant bombardment has created a psychological environment where the smallest moments of calm become a form of survival. Children remain the most affected. Doctors and mental-health workers in Gaza report severe psychological and physical reactions among minors after two years of war. Some children experience hair loss, speech disruptions, and trauma-related regression. Others lose access to medical treatment or are denied travel for care. Many injuries become life-threatening due to a lack of medication and the collapse of the health sector. In this context, an initiative known as TECH MED Gaza has begun offering virtual-reality-based therapy to help children temporarily detach from the scenes of destruction around them. The program uses Meta Quest 2 VR headsets, described by the organizers as a “safe corridor” that allows children to enter guided, calming environments designed for trauma support. Jonathan Crickx, spokesman for UNICEF, recently stated that around one million children—“all children in the Gaza Strip,” as he put it—now require mental-health and psychosocial support after two years of genocide. Abdullah Al-Jamal, Director of Mental Health in the Gaza Strip, told QNN that the war has affected “every home in Gaza without exception,” adding that children are at the highest risk of long-term consequences if early intervention is not provided. “Based on field work in this war, I am almost certain that all children in the Gaza Strip have been exposed to various psychological traumas,” he said. He noted that the destruction of all pre-war mental-health facilities, governmental, private, and non-profit, has left services unable to meet overwhelming demand.
How TECH MED Gaza Works
TECH MED Gaza integrates VR technology into mental-health treatment, offering structured environments meant to support relaxation, emotional regulation, and trauma processing. Sessions include calming nature scenes, breathing exercises, guided mental-health routines, interactive stories, and behavioral-therapy scenarios tailored to children. The program also serves adult women and young people affected by the genocide. The idea was first developed by engineer Musab Ali, whose son was injured during the war and suffered psychological decline. As a software engineer, he sought an alternative to mobile-phone screens and began designing a VR-based method that might help injured children. He collaborated with mental-health professionals and technical experts to build the program. The first implementation was at Shuha’a Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, and the initiative later expanded to a camp in Zawaida. Mental-health supervisor Abdullah Abu Shamla told QNN that the program commonly treats symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disorders, PTSD, flashbacks, hyperarousal, social isolation, panic attacks, and behavioral issues like selective silence and avoidance. According to Abu Shamla, VR-based sessions have shown promising results. He said that children affected by amputations, injuries, or severe trauma have responded “powerfully,” with faster stabilisation than in standard sessions. Treatment that normally requires 10–12 sessions may show results in 5–7 VR-assisted sessions. He also reported reductions in anxiety within minutes, increased engagement among withdrawn children, smoother transitions to speech-therapy work, and improvements in emotional regulation and sleep.
Operational Challenges
Program staff say they face significant barriers: difficulty transporting equipment, frequent power outages, environmental noise from ongoing bombardment, limited supplies, and the need for continuous staff training in a field that is new to Gaza. Long-term follow-up with participants is often impossible due to repeated displacement. Asked about specific cases that shaped their use of VR, staff pointed to situations where children experienced severe panic, isolation, or refusal to communicate during traditional therapy. One example involved Sham, a young girl who lost a limb and stopped speaking but began responding positively inside the virtual environment.
Case Examples from the Program
Shahada, 11, developed a serious bacterial-infection-related condition caused by environmental contamination from the war. He suffers partial paralysis affecting his lower limbs, upper limbs, and respiratory system. After healthcare interruptions due to system collapse, he was referred to TECH MED Gaza. Staff say he showed no movement in early sessions but began attempting to move and walk by the third session.
 Salah, 15, was shot in the head by a quadcopter drone while playing with friends. TECH MED staff provided physiotherapy and speech-therapy support. According to the program, Salah went from being unable to sit upright to walking within two weeks. He has since returned to school.
 Local Model With Global Reference Points
According to the team, they examined VR-based mental-health models in Europe and Canada but adapted the approach to local realities, including war-related trauma and the practical limitations of operating in Gaza. They describe the final model as fully Palestinian in its application. While the program does not claim to offer a cure, its staff view it as one tool among many needed to support Gaza’s children and survivors of war. They emphasize that it provides temporary relief and a structured environment for therapeutic intervention at a time when traditional mental-health infrastructure has collapsed.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66836&slug=gaza-engineers-and-therapists-turn-to-vr-as-trauma-reaches-all-children

New testimony from a top Israeli official confirms Israel misled the public for months about the Bibas family, using their deaths to shape global opinion and justify the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israel knew since November 2023 that the Bibas family had been killed, most likely in an Israeli airstrike. Despite this, Israeli officials continued to tell the public that the Bibas children were alive in Gaza, said an Israeli official. The case became one of the most emotional pillars of Israel’s narrative during the war. The confirmation came from Nitzan Alon, the former head of Israel’s POWs and Missing Persons Headquarters. In a new interview, Alon said Israeli intelligence identified the kidnappers early and established that Hamas had not taken the family. “We knew who kidnapped them,” Alon said. “We informed Hamas who the kidnappers were, so they could locate them and recover the bodies.” His statements indicate that Israel had accurate information about the family’s fate months before disclosing any details. While intelligence units placed the Bibas family in the “Most Probably Dead” (MPD) category shortly after October 7, Israeli officials continued to use their case to portray Hamas as holding infants captive. The Bibas children became a core symbol in Israel’s rhetoric and media coverage. Alon’s remarks contradict that portrayal and show that authorities maintained a misleading narrative even after receiving strong evidence that the family had died. According to Alon, Hamas struggled to find the Bibas family because they were never in its custody. Israeli intelligence passed the kidnappers’ identities to Hamas to help locate the bodies. He tied Hamas’s difficulties to internal chaos following October 7, noting that negotiators understood the disorganization during early hostage-related talks. Images of the red-haired Bibas children were used widely in Israeli public discourse. Officials referenced the case in speeches, interviews, and diplomatic efforts. Alon’s disclosures now raise questions about how the government used the family’s story even after it knew the truth. Alon described how Israel established new classifications for missing persons after October 7, including the MPD category used for cases with strong evidence of death. The Bibas family fell into that category early, according to intelligence assessments. He also said intelligence units from the military and the Shin Bet were activated overnight on October 7, and their findings quickly pointed toward the family’s death.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66834&slug=top-israeli-official-says-israel-knew-the-bibas-family-was-dead-since-2023-and-that-hamas-didnt-take-them-yet-used-their-story-to-fuel-gaza-genocide-narrative

Videoscreen grab: rafah crossing fears
Al Jazeera - Dec 6, 2025
{Arab, Muslim nations reject Israel exit-only plan for Gaza’s Rafah crossing
Foreign ministers slam Israel’s breach of the ceasefire, and its one-way exit plan which aims to ‘displace Palestinian people from their land’. Gaza mediators Egypt and Qatar, and six other Muslim-majority countries have raised the alarm over Israel’s stated plan for a one-way opening of the Rafah border crossing, which would allow Palestinians to leave their territory, but not to return, and block the entry of humanitarian aid. Their warning comes as Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continues unabated, with some 600 violations of the ceasefire in the last seven weeks, and reports that three people were killed in the latest round of attacks on Saturday in the northern town of Beit Lahiya. The foreign ministers of Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and the United Arab Emirates issued a joint statement on Friday that expressed “deep concern” over a recent Israeli military announcement that the “Rafah Crossing will open in the coming days exclusively for the exit of residents from the Gaza Strip to Egypt”. The announcement, which breaches Israeli obligations under the first phase of a United States-led peace plan, was made on Wednesday by an Israeli military unit called the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), stating that one-way crossing would be allowed with Israeli “security approval” in coordination with Egypt. However, Egypt and its cosignatories slammed the plan, expressing their “complete rejection of any attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land” and stressing the need for Israel to fully comply with US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, which calls for the Rafah crossing to be opened in both directions.
The Rafah crossing has been mostly closed throughout the war.
Since the October 10 ceasefire took effect under Trump’s plan, Israeli authorities have stalled on reopening it to allow desperately needed aid to enter and people requiring medical treatment to leave, citing Hamas’s failure to return the bodies of all captives and the need for coordination with Egypt. Only one captive’s body remains in Gaza, and retrieval has been hampered by the widespread destruction of the enclave under Israeli bombardment. The ministers said they appreciated Trump’s peace efforts, which foresee the formation of a technocratic Palestinian government supported by a multinational stabilisation force under the supervision of an international “board of peace”, insisting that his plan move forward “without delay or obstruction”. They urged that conditions be established allowing the Palestinian Authority to “resume its responsibilities in Gaza”, calling for “sustainable peace” that would enable the two-state solution to be rolled out, with “an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders, including Gaza and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital”. Gaza featured prominently at the Doha Forum on Saturday, an annual diplomatic conference in Qatar, with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani saying that the two-month ceasefire was at a “critical moment”. “We cannot consider it yet a ceasefire. A ceasefire cannot be completed unless there is a full withdrawal of the Israeli forces, (and) there is stability back in Gaza,” he said. Also speaking at the conference, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that negotiations over the Gaza international stabilisation force (ISF) remained ongoing, including its mandate and rules of engagement, and that its main objective should be to separate Israelis and Palestinians along the border. Arab and other Muslim countries, which had expressed interest in providing troops for an ISF, had insisted the US include more defined language about Palestinian self-determination in the plan before a United Nations Security Council vote last month. Israeli attempts to stymie the move failed.
Attacks continue despite ceasefire
Meanwhile, Israel kept up intense attacks on Gaza overnight into Saturday morning, killing three people in a drone strike in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, where it was carrying out a demolition operation. Reporting from Gaza City, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said the victims were part of a group of family members who had been travelling to inspect their farm in the northern part of the Strip. Mahmoud said that Israeli sources had claimed the family had breached the so-called yellow line designating the area to which Israeli troops have withdrawn under the truce, but that members had not been aware they were in a “dangerous and restricted” zone. In other attacks, Israel pummelled Gaza with at least 20 air strikes across the enclave, including eastern Gaza city, the centrally located Maghazi refugee camp and the southern city of Rafah. There were also reports of artillery shelling and heavy fire from tanks and aircraft in areas where the Israeli military is currently stationed east of Khan Younis and Rafah. Israeli gunboats attacked Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Khan Younis, amid heavy gunfire and shelling. The Israeli army continues to control the southern and eastern belts of the Strip, along with large parts of northern Gaza, spanning more than 50 percent of the enclave’s total area. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 70,125 Palestinians and wounded 171,015 since October 2023.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/6/arab-muslim-nations-reject-israels-exit-only-plan-for-rafah-crossing

The Gazanan Thinker


"Hopelessness is an emotion, not a position"  and yes, the Palestinians in Palestine undergo 24/7 this emotion apart from the neverending fear and hunger but despite the efforts of the genociders to dehumanize and errase them they stay resilient by keep saying "this is our Land and we´re not going away unless they kill us one by one."

"Read, Learn, Gain Knowledge, Insight
and Act
to Follow the Path of Truth"

“There can be no peace
over the blood of our children,”
and opinion:
recognizing Palestine
as a state will not stop
if the recognizers keep refusing
to stop the genocide."

"How many angels
dance on a spindle knob?
None, as far as they are jewish/christian
and are instead
dancing on the Palestinian
genocide graveyards.
But justice will be served."

"He who doesn´t learn from history
repeats it."
