{Young Palestinian dies in Israeli custody, dozens taken in West Bank raids
Death of 21-year-old raises alarm as rights groups document systematic torture in detention facilities, as Israel accelerates violence in occupied territory.
A young Palestinian man has died while being held in captivity by Israeli authorities, according to the Palestinian Authority, as Israeli military and settler violence across the occupied West Bank reaches levels unseen in decades, and its genocidal war on Gaza continues unabated. Abdul Rahman al-Sabateen, 21, from Husan near Bethlehem, died at a Jerusalem medical facility on Tuesday night after being arrested by Israeli soldiers in late June, the PA said in a statement. His family reported seeing no signs of illness when they last visited him during a court appearance on November 25. The death comes as Israeli forces arrested more than 100 Palestinians in dawn raids across the West Bank on Wednesday, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office said. The sweeps targeted cities including Nablus, where approximately 30 people were detained, and Silwad, where another 24 were taken into custody. Witnesses told the Wafa news agency that soldiers entered homes, confiscating belongings and jewellery during the operations. Al-Sabateen’s death brings to at least 94 the number of Palestinians who have died in Israeli detention since October 2023, according to Physicians for Human Rights – Israel, which has documented what it describes as “systematic torture” in both military and prison facilities. The organisation’s recent report details cases involving beatings, medical neglect and deliberate starvation. The United Nations human rights office has separately confirmed at least 75 deaths during the same period, saying that Israeli authorities have “deliberately imposed conditions of detention that amount to torture or other forms of ill-treatment”. Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza, while settler attacks, often with the military’s backing, have surged dramatically and with impunity. More than 700 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli settlers so far this year, double the total for all of 2024, according to UN data. October alone saw 264 such attacks, the highest monthly figure since tracking began in 2006. The violence has coincided with an aggressive illegal settlement expansion drive. On Wednesday, Israeli authorities approved 764 new housing units in three West Bank settlements, a move Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich – who openly rejects a two-state solution – described as a continuation of “the revolution”. Far-right ministers in Israel have been pushing for the total annexation of the occupied territory, a move the United States, European, and Arab and Muslim nations all oppose. Wasel Abu Yousef, a member of the PLO Executive Committee, told Reuters that “the settlements are illegal” and run counter to “all the resolutions of international legitimacy”. Smotrich announced approval for 764 new housing units on Wednesday, part of what Israeli media describes as a 2.7 billion-shekel ($836m) five-year plan to entrench Israeli control over the territory. Since late 2022, more than 51,000 settlement units have been authorised. Human Rights Watch reported last month that Israeli forces forcibly displaced 32,000 Palestinians from three refugee camps earlier this year, operations the organisation characterised as war crimes and crimes against humanity. Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch’s Israel and Palestine director, called it the “second largest – after Gaza – displacement of Palestinians since 1967,” likening it to a second Nakba, when more than 700,000 Palestinians were displaced during Israel’s founding in 1948. A psychologist working with Doctors Without Borders and speaking anonymously in Hebron described the mounting psychological toll on Wednesday, saying Palestinians are “preparing themselves for loss” rather than planning for the future. The mental health worker said patients commonly express the thought: “They started in Gaza, then moved to the north of the West Bank – now it’s just a matter of time until it’s our turn.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/10/young-palestinian-dies-in-israeli-custody-dozens-taken-in-west-bank-raids

{Heavy rains flood tents sheltering the displaced, heaping misery on Gaza
Flooding worsens the crisis for Palestinian families, as an acute Israeli-enforced aid shortage threatens those uprooted multiple times by the genocidal war.
Heavy rains have flooded thousands of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the latest misery to befall civilians in the enclave, which has suffered more than two years of Israel’s genocidal war. Heavy rainfall in advance of Storm Byron began before dawn on Wednesday, submerging thousands of tents in several areas across the besieged and bombarded territory. Palestinian Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal warned in a video statement of an “imminent humanitarian disaster” resulting from the severe weather conditions. On Tuesday, the Gaza Government Media Office warned that a polar low-pressure system would affect the enclave from Wednesday until Friday evening, threatening hundreds of thousands of displaced families. Most municipal wastewater networks in Gaza are destroyed or severely damaged by Israel, so any floodwater from the storm is highly likely to mix with raw sewage, significantly raising the spread of diseases like dysentery and cholera. With rubbish collection largely halted, vast piles of solid waste have accumulated across the besieged enclave, meaning that heavy rains could mobilise medical waste, plastics, animal remains and debris into areas where displaced Palestinians are sheltering. Groundwater resources that are tapped by residents could also be contaminated, while surface flooding could stagnate in some areas instead of receding since stormwater drainage and pumping stations are offline. Basal said aid entering Gaza still falls far short of meeting the needs of the territory’s 2.4 million residents, who are facing a severe humanitarian crisis, and called for immediate international action. According to earlier data from the media office, Gaza requires about 300,000 tents and prefabricated housing units to meet the most basic shelter needs of Palestinians after Israel destroyed infrastructure over two years of the genocidal war.} gallery Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2025/12/10/heavy-rains-flood-tents-sheltering-the-displaced-heaping-misery-on-gaza


Torture at prisons

{Palestinian Youth Dies in Israeli Custody Amid Torture Reports, Months After Arrest by Israeli Forces in Occupied West Bank
Last week, the two Palestinian prisoner groups also announced the death of three detainees abducted from Gaza during the genocide in Israeli prisons.
Palestinian Youth Dies in Israeli Custody Amid Torture Reports, Months After Arrest by Israeli Forces in Occupied West Bank
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- A 21-year-old Palestinian detainee, arrested in June in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces, has died in Israeli custody amid reports of torture and medical negligence, Palestinian prisoner advocacy groups confirmed on Wednesday. The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) confirmed that 21-year-old Abdelrhman Al-Sabateen from Bethlehem died last night in Israeli custody, after being arrested by Israeli forces on June 24, 2025. His family stated that he had no health problems and that his condition had been stable prior to his death.
Last week, the two Palestinian prisoner groups also announced the death of three detainees abducted from Gaza during the genocide in Israeli prisons. The deaths bring the total number of known Palestinians who have died in Israeli custody since October 7, 2023, to 85, including 50 from Gaza, the groups added.  The noted that the period since October 2023 has seen an "unprecedented" rise in the "systematic crimes practised in [Israeli] prisons," making it the "bloodiest in the history of the prisoner movement since 1967". This brings the total number of Palestinians who have died in Israeli custody since 1967 to 322. However, they noted that the true figure is likely higher, as dozens of detainees abducted from Gaza are subjected to enforced disappearance. This week, Israeli Walla reported that Israel has already murdered 110 Palestinian hostages and detainees under torture inside Israeli detention centers. Walla described the figure as a record high compared with previous decades. The report follows last week’s findings by Israel's Public Defender’s Office, which documented a sharp decline in the health of Palestinian hostages due to harsh incarceration conditions, including severe hunger, overcrowding, poor sanitation, and systematic abuse. According to several Palestinian prisoner-monitoring groups, these conditions have persisted even after the Gaza ceasefire was signed last month. There are currently more than 10,800 Palestinians held in Israeli jails, including 450 children, 87 women, and 3,629 held without charge or trial. The organisations said Palestinian prisoners continue to die in detention due to torture, starvation, medical neglect, sexual assault, and systematic violations of human rights. Testimonies confirm regular beatings by Israeli guards, extreme overcrowding, humiliation, and inadequate hygiene.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66862&slug=palestinian-youth-dies-in-israeli-custody-amid-torture-reports-months-after-arrest-by-israeli-forces-in-occupied-west-bank

{Peace proves relative in Gaza with no let-up in deadly airstrikes
UN partner BLDA distributes tents to Gaza families after the ceasefire began on 10 October. The enclave remains in the grip of a catastrophic humanitarian emergency. In Gaza, as airstrikes, shelling and gunfire continued to kill and maim Palestinians, UN human rights chief Volker Türk on Wednesday rejected suggestions by the Israeli military that the so-called “Yellow Line” of concrete blocks it has erected inside the enclave represented a new border. “The Security Council resolution is very clear about not calling anything a border or anything else, it is about a territory that needs to be respected in its entirety,” he said, referencing a resolution adopted by the Council on 17 November in support of a comprehensive plan to end the conflict. “We call on all parties to respect the ceasefire and to ensure that we can indeed move to the next phase [of the peace plan],” the High Commissioner told journalists in Geneva. Gaza “remains a place of unimaginable suffering, loss and fear. While the bloodshed has reduced, it has not stopped,” he insisted. Resolution 2803 (2025) received 13 votes in favour and none against, with permanent members China and Russia abstaining. The text welcomed the Comprehensive Plan announced by President Trump on 29 September. The first phase of the 20-point plan led to the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel days later.

Yellow 'destruction' line
Shifting ‘Yellow Line’
Most of the violence in the past week has been reported near the “Yellow Line” whose large painted concrete blocks have shifted in the past week, prompting “new waves” of displacement, according to the UN agency for Palestine refugees, UNRWA. In a scheduled update, the agency cited data from the Gazan health authorities indicating that 360 Palestinians have been killed and 922 injured since the fragile ceasefire agreement came into effect in late October. An additional 617 bodies have been retrieved from under the rubble since then, too. Echoing those concerns, Mr. Türk said that his Office had documented more than 350 attacks since the ceasefire began. The dead included seven women and 13 children. “Attacks by Israel continue, including on individuals approaching the so-called Yellow Line, residential buildings and [internally displaced persons] IDP tents and shelters, as well as other civilian objects,” he told reporters. In addition to the humanitarian emergency still unfolding in Gaza, the High Commissioner stressed how generalized psychological trauma affecting the enclave’s people is “the most serious mental health crisis that one can imagine...Basically everyone is traumatised and especially children.” Meanwhile, at a press conference marking Human Rights Day, Mr. Türk also expressed deep concern at “unprecedented levels of attack by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinians” and their land in the occupied West Bank. “This is a time to intensify pressure and advocacy – not to sink into complacency”, he insisted.} Read more about other troubled parts in the world - Source: https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/12/1166555

{Israel Approves 764 New Settlement Units in Occupied West Bank
Israel’s approval of 764 new West Bank settlement units marks another major expansion under Netanyahu, tightening control over Palestinian land and eroding hopes for a political agreement.
Occupied West Bank (QNN)- Israel approved 764 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. The move pushes the total number of settlement units advanced by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the ICC over war crimes in Gaza, to 51,370 since late 2022. Israel’s Channel 7 said the Higher Planning Council, which operates under the Israeli Civil Administration, granted the latest approvals. The new plans include 478 units in Hashmonaim, 230 units in Beitar Illit, and 56 units in Givat Ze’ev in central West Bank. Settlement construction has surged since Netanyahu’s government took office at the end of 2022. According to Israeli Channel 7, Israeli authorities approved deposit and final authorization for 51,370 settlement units across the West Bank during the current government’s tenure. The Applied Research Institute – Jerusalem (ARIJ) reported that Israel unveiled plans in mid-November for more than 26,000 additional settlement units on more than 30,000 dunams of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. ARIJ said Israeli bodies put forward 194 settlement plans between January and the end of October 2025, most of them in occupied Jerusalem. Data from the Israeli group Peace Now shows that over 700,000 settlers now live in the West Bank, including around 250,000 in the eastern part of Jerusalem. The United Nations affirms that settlement activity in occupied Palestinian territory is illegal. The UN has called for its halt for decades, but Israeli governments continue to accelerate construction. Israel’s current government is speeding up settlement expansion as part of its public push to annex large areas of the West Bank. The Israeli Knesset moved further in that direction on October 22, when it gave preliminary approval to a bill that seeks to annex the occupied West Bank. The step sparked widespread regional and international condemnation.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66865&slug=israel-approves-764-new-settlement-units-in-occupied-west-bank

{“Right Decision”: Ireland's Three-time Eurovision Winner Praises Country's Withdrawal Over Israel
Logan said he doesn't think "Israel should be allowed to hide under the umbrella of the Eurovision," adding that he was "proud" of the broadcaster making the "right decision."
Dublin (QNN)- Ireland's three-time Eurovision song contest winner Johnny Logan has praised his country's public broadcaster for withdrawing from next year's competition in response to Israel’s participation over the genocide in Gaza. Speaking with Ireland's RTÉ on Sunday, Logan said he doesn't think "Israel should be allowed to hide under the umbrella of the Eurovision," adding that he was "proud" of the broadcaster making the "right decision." The 71-year-old musician, who was born in Australia but grew up in Ireland, won the 1980 Eurovision with his song "What's Another Year." Seven years later, he became the first person to win the competition twice, with his entry "Hold Me Now," which he wrote. He also wrote Ireland's first-place song for the 1992 contest, "Why Me?". Last Thursday, The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) gave Israel the green light to compete. In response, four countries, Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands, announced they will boycott the contest, after having called for Israel's exclusion over the genocide in Gaza and accusations Israel has employed unfair voting practices. Logan said of his position that "I'm not antisemitic and I'm not pro-Hamas at all. I believe two things can be wrong at the same time." He added that he believes most Irish people agree with him: "When you have someone like Donald Trump describe Gaza as real estate ... it's appalling."Israel's participation in next year's song competition, Logan said, is "almost like a tacit … we turn a blind eye ... sort of 'yes, everything is normal,' you know, we can forgive everything ... I think there has to be a point where a voice is heard. It's not okay." Logan compared Israel's situation to that of Russia, which the EBU banned from the contest in 2022 when it invaded Ukraine. A similar decision should've been made in Israel's case, he said. "They say that the Eurovision is nonpolitical, but the reality of it is that when it is necessary, it becomes political," Logan said. "The EBU should've made a decision regarding Israel, a decision removing them from the show, and taken that decision away from individual countries." "Certainly at the moment, [Israel] should be removed."  Recent editions of Eurovision have been overshadowed by opposition to Israel’s participation in the contest over its ongoing genocide in Gaza which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians since October 2023. If the EBU fails to act, it risks a major split within Europe’s most-watched cultural event. For many broadcasters, the contest is no longer just about music, but about taking a stand on Gaza.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66864&slug=right-decision-irelands-three-time-eurovision-winner-praises-countrys-withdrawal-over-israel

{Removing Blair from Gaza’s TPC is necessary correction of historic mistake
Tony Blair’s anticipated role quickly emerged as a source of deep concern for many stakeholders.
Many actors involved in negotiations to end Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and begin its reconstruction breathed a collective sigh of relief when it was announced that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, one of the most polarising figures in international diplomacy, was removed from the proposed “board of peace”, tasked with overseeing the transitional phase in the Strip. The announcement came at a highly sensitive moment, just as negotiations entered their second phase, focused on the security and economic arrangements necessary for stabilising the Strip and launching reconstruction efforts. United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, adopted on November 17, 2025, and aligned with United States President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace proposal, granted an international mandate to form a transitional peace council (TPC), deploy a stabilisation force, and set a framework stretching until the end of 2027. In the midst of shaping this new transitional architecture, Blair’s anticipated role quickly emerged as a source of deep concern for many stakeholders.} Read here more why  Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/12/10/removing-blair-from-gazas-tpc-is-necessary-correction-of-historic-mistake-2

{Hamas leader vows to curb Gaza attacks on Israel but rejects disarmament
Khaled Meshaal tells Al Jazeera surrendering weapons will ‘remove the soul’ from the Palestinian group as ceasefire momentum slips. Hamas’s political leader outside Gaza, Khaled Meshaal, has offered assurances that the group would take measures to curb any future attacks on Israel from the besieged Palestinian enclave, but added that surrendering its weapons would be like “removing the soul” from the group. In an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic’s Mawazin, to be aired on Wednesday evening, the Hamas political chief laid out the group’s positions on key issues amid rising concern that momentum on ceasefire talks may fade as the first phase draws to a conclusion. Hamas said on Tuesday that the ceasefire cannot move forward if Israel continues its violations of the agreement, with authorities saying the truce has been breached at least 738 times since taking effect on October 10. Meshaal also told Al Jazeera that Hamas would not accept a non-Palestinian governing authority for Gaza, amid speculation over the makeup of United States President Donald Trump’s so-called “board of peace”, which has been floated as a possible alternative to Hamas’s rule since 2006. The Financial Times reported on Tuesday that former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair‘s candidacy to the board had been ruled out, following opposition from several Arab and Muslim states. Blair is heavily tarnished for his key role in the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation and devastation of the US-led war in Iraq, as well as his failed role as Quartet envoy to the Middle East. Hamas had already voiced its objection to Blair’s inclusion in September, with its official Husam Badran calling him “an unwelcome figure” and “an ominous sign”. “He has brought no good to the Palestinian cause, nor to Arabs or Muslims, and his criminal and destructive role has been known for years,” Badran said. The US-brokered ceasefire agreed in October has largely held, despite frequent Israeli violations and fewer by Hamas. At least 377 people have been killed in Israeli attacks. Yet, at the Doha Forum last week, mediators warned that momentum behind the deal is slipping. Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said at the forum that the Gaza ceasefire was at a “critical moment”, while the Turkish and Egyptian foreign ministers urged the US and other parties to redouble efforts to keep the process on track. All but one of the captives, living and deceased, taken to Gaza during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel in October 2023 have now been returned, while hundreds of Palestinian prisoners have also been released by Israeli authorities back to Gaza as part of the agreement which ended the fighting. Many of those Palestinian prisoners’ bodies have shown signs of torture, mutilation and execution, with families unable to identify them. On Tuesday, a Hamas official said Israel has not fully adhered to the first phase of the agreement, citing the unopened Rafah crossing, aid volumes much below the agreed levels, and near-daily Israeli attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, said the first phase was nearly complete and expressed his aim to “achieve the same results in the second stage”, adding that he would meet Trump in Washington, DC, at the end of this month to advance it. A US official told Al Jazeera that intensive negotiations for the second phase are under way and making progress. Meshaal told Al Jazeera that increasing aid flow into Gaza is essential for the second phase to begin, which would mark the formal end of the war and include a full Israeli withdrawal — beyond the partial pullback to the so-called yellow line, which still leaves Israel in control of more than half of Gaza — a key goal for Hamas. “We informed the mediators that Gaza needs those who can help it rise and recover again,” Meshaal said.
Israel’s ‘yellow line’ explained: What it means for Gaza’s future
Disarmament will be a key issue. Israel has demanded it, while Hamas officials have expressed ambivalence, but which Meshaal said would be akin to “removing the soul” of the group. Hamas officials have previously said they would be prepared to relinquish their arms to a Palestinian state. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who has indicated his country could join an international stabilisation force (ISF) in Gaza responsible for disarming Hamas, urged patience at the Doha Forum, saying disarmament would not occur in the “first stage” and emphasising that “we need to proceed in the correct order and remain realistic”. Israel opposes the presence of Turkish troops in Gaza and has said disarming Hamas must be the top priority in the second phase once it begins. On Sunday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said the ISF needed to be sent to Gaza “as soon as possible” because on “one side, Israel is violating the ceasefire every day, but claims the other side is responsible, so we need monitors along the yellow side in order to verify and monitor”.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/10/hamas-leader-vows-to-curb-gaza-attacks-on-israel-but-rejects-disarmament


Videoscreen grab: New World Order
Al Jazeera - Dec 10, 2025 - By Richard Falk
{The catastrophic violence in Gaza has unfolded within an international system that was never designed to restrain the geopolitical ambitions of powerful states. Understanding why the United Nations has proved so limited in responding to what many regard as a genocidal assault requires returning to the foundations of the post–World War II order and examining how its structure has long enabled impunity rather than accountability. After World War II, the architecture for a new international order based on respect for the UN Charter and international law was agreed upon as the normative foundation of a peaceful future. Above all, it was intended to prevent a third world war. These commitments emerged from the carnage of global conflict, the debasement of human dignity through the Nazi Holocaust, and public anxieties about nuclear weaponry. Yet, the political imperative to accommodate the victorious states compromised these arrangements from the outset. Tensions over priorities for world order were papered over by granting the Security Council exclusive decisional authority and further limiting UN autonomy. Five states were made permanent members, each with veto power: the United States, the Soviet Union, France, the United Kingdom, and China. In practice, this left global security largely in the hands of these states, preserving their dominance. It meant removing the strategic interests of geopolitical actors from any obligatory respect for legal constraints, with a corresponding weakening of UN capability. The Soviet Union had some justification for defending itself against a West-dominated voting majority, yet it too used the veto pragmatically and displayed a dismissive approach to international law and human rights, as did the three liberal democracies. In 1945, these governments were understood as simply retaining the traditional freedoms of manoeuvre exercised by the so-called Great Powers. The UK and France, leading NATO members in a Euro-American alliance, interpreted the future through the lens of an emerging rivalry with the Soviet Union. China, meanwhile, was preoccupied with a civil war that continued until 1949.
Three aspects of this post-war arrangement shape our present understanding.
First, the historical aspect: Learning from the failures of the League of Nations, where the absence of influential states undermined the organisation’s relevance to questions of war and peace. In 1945, it was deemed better to acknowledge power differentials within the UN than to construct a global body based on democratic equality among sovereign states or population size.
Second, the ideological aspect: Political leaders of the more affluent and powerful states placed far greater trust in hard-power militarism than in soft-power legalism. Even nuclear weaponry was absorbed into the logic of deterrence rather than compliance with Article VI of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which required good-faith pursuit of disarmament. International law was set aside whenever it conflicted with geopolitical interests.
Third, the economistic aspect: The profitability of arms races and wars reinforced a pre–World War II pattern of lawless global politics, sustained by an alliance of geopolitical realism, corporate media, and private-sector militarism.
Why the UN could not protect Gaza
Against this background, it is unsurprising that the UN performed in a disappointing manner during the two-plus years of genocidal assault on Gaza. In many respects, the UN did what it was designed to do in the turmoil after October 7, and only fundamental reforms driven by the Global South and transnational civil society can alter this structural limitation. What makes these events so disturbing is the extremes of Israeli disregard for international law, the Charter, and even basic morality. At the same time, the UN did act more constructively than is often acknowledged in exposing Israel’s flagrant violations of international law and human rights. Yet, it fell short of what was legally possible, particularly when the General Assembly failed to explore its potential self-empowerment through the Uniting for Peace resolution or the Responsibility to Protect norm. Among the UN’s strongest contributions were the near-unanimous judicial outcomes at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on genocide and occupation. On genocide, the ICJ granted South Africa’s request for provisional measures concerning genocidal violence and the obstruction of humanitarian aid in Gaza. A final decision is expected after further arguments in 2026. On occupation, responding to a General Assembly request for clarification, the Court issued a historic advisory opinion on July 19, 2024, finding Israel in severe violation of its duties under international humanitarian law in administering Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. It ordered Israel’s withdrawal within a year. The General Assembly affirmed the opinion by a large majority. Israel responded by repudiating or ignoring the Court’s authority, backed by the US government’s extraordinary claim that recourse to the ICJ lacked legal merit. The UN also provided far more reliable coverage of the Gaza genocide than was available in corporate media, which tended to amplify Israeli rationalisations and suppress Palestinian perspectives. For those seeking a credible analysis of genocide allegations, the Human Rights Council offered the most convincing counter to pro-Israeli distortions. A Moon Will Arise from this Darkness: Reports on Genocide in Palestine, containing the publicly submitted reports of the special rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, documents and strongly supports the genocide findings. A further unheralded contribution came from UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, whose services were essential to a civilian population facing acute insecurity, devastation, starvation, disease, and cruel combat tactics. Some 281 staff members were killed while providing shelter, education, healthcare, and psychological support to beleaguered Palestinians during the course of Israel’s actions over the past two years. UNRWA, instead of receiving deserved praise, was irresponsibly condemned by Israel and accused, without credible evidence, of allowing staff participation in the October 7 attack. Liberal democracies compounded this by cutting funding, while Israel barred international staff from entering Gaza. Nevertheless, UNRWA has sought to continue its relief work to the best of its ability and with great courage. In light of these institutional shortcomings and partial successes, the implications for global governance become even more stark, setting the stage for a broader assessment of legitimacy and accountability.
The moral and political costs of UN paralysis
The foregoing needs to be read in light of the continuing Palestinian ordeal, which persists despite numerous Israeli violations, resulting in more than 350 Palestinian deaths since the ceasefire was agreed upon on October 10, 2025. International law seems to have no direct impact on the behaviour of the main governmental actors, but it does influence perceptions of legitimacy. In this sense, the ICJ outcomes and the reports of the special rapporteur that take the international law dimensions seriously have the indirect effect of legitimising various forms of civil society activism in support of true and just peace, which presupposes the realisation of Palestinian basic rights – above all, the inalienable right of self-determination. The exclusion of Palestinian participation in the US-imposed Trump Plan for shaping Gaza’s political future is a sign that liberal democracies stubbornly adhere to their unsupportable positions of complicity with Israel. Finally, the unanimous adoption of Security Council Resolution 2803 in unacceptably endorsing the Trump Plan aligns the UN fully with the US and Israel, a demoralising evasion and repudiation of its own truth-telling procedures. It also establishes a most unfortunate precedent for the enforcement of international law and the accountability of perpetrators of international crimes. In doing so, it deepens the crisis of confidence in global governance and underscores the urgent need for meaningful UN reform if genuine peace and justice are ever to be realised.

Al Jazeera - Dec 9, 2025 - By Caolán Magee
{Hamas urges more international pressure on Israel amid ceasefire violations
According to Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, Israeli attacks during ceasefire have killed at least 377 people.
Hamas has said the ceasefire cannot move forward while Israel continues its violations of the agreement, with authorities saying the truce has been breached at least 738 times since taking effect in October. Husam Badran, a Hamas official, called on mediators to increase pressure on Israel to fully implement its commitments. “The next phase cannot begin as long as the [Israeli] occupation continues its violations of the agreement and evades its commitments,” Badran said. “Hamas has asked the mediators to pressure the occupation to complete the implementation of the first phase,” he added. The ceasefire, which came into effect on October 10, focused on the exchange of captives held in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. But details of the next phase, including Gaza’s future governance, the potential deployment of an international stabilisation force, and the establishment of what has been termed a “board of peace”, remain unresolved. Meanwhile, anger continues to rise among Palestinians and the international community as Israeli attacks persist. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, Israeli attacks since the start of the ceasefire have killed at least 377 people and wounded 987.
Talks progressing, but major challenges remain
A United States official told Al Jazeera Arabic that negotiations on the next phase of the ceasefire are advancing, but key obstacles still need to be overcome. The official said Washington expects the first deployment of an international stabilisation force to begin in early 2026. Talks are currently focused on which countries would contribute to such a force, how it would be commanded and what its rules of engagement would be. It comes as former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair has reportedly been dropped by the “board of peace”, a panel envisioned by the US to oversee redevelopment in Gaza. The official said the US-backed ceasefire plan, endorsed by the United Nations Security Council, clearly stipulates Israel’s complete withdrawal from Gaza and Hamas’s disarmament. They added that discussions are under way to form a police force drawn from the local population in Gaza. The US is also aware of the increasing demands for humanitarian access, the official said, and is working to remove barriers to aid delivery. Meanwhile, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric responded to a claim by Israeli Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir that the so-called “yellow line”, currently marking Israeli-held territory inside Gaza, constitutes a “new border”. Israeli forces have remained in about 58 percent of Gaza since a partial withdrawal to the yellow line. Under the ceasefire plan, Israeli forces are meant to withdraw fully from the territory, although there is no timeframe for a withdrawal in the agreement.
More Israeli strikes reported
The Israeli military has launched an air strike and artillery attacks on areas of Khan Younis still under its control. There have been no reports of casualties. In northern Gaza, the Israeli army has continued building demolitions in Beit Lahiya. “These actions constitute a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and a deliberate undermining of the essence of the ceasefire and the provisions of its attached humanitarian protocol,” Gaza authorities said in a statement.
Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza has killed at least 70,366 Palestinians and wounded 171,064 since October 2023, according to Gaza health authorities.At least of 1,139 people were killed during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, according to Israeli statistics, and more than 200 others were seized as captives.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/9/hamas-urges-more-international-pressure-on-israel-amid-ceasefire-violations


Heavy Rains Flood Tents

{Heavy Rains Flood Tents of Displaced Palestinians in Gaza as Storm Begins to Hit Palestine
Gaza’s Government Media Office has called on the world to respond “to save the catastrophic humanitarian reality” in Gaza as cold weather and rain bears down on the enclave.
Gaza (QNN)- Displaced Palestinians in the Gaza Strip woke up Wednesday to inches of water flooding their tents, after overnight heavy rainfall left their shelters and belongings soaked as a winter storm swept in with heavy rain and strong winds.Gaza’s Government Media Office has called on the world to respond “to save the catastrophic humanitarian reality” in Gaza as cold weather and rain bears down on the enclave. The storm Byron is set to hit on Wednesday and last until Friday, bringing with it heavy rains that will flood the tens of thousands of tents sheltering Gaza’s displaced people. It is also set to bring heavy winds, fierce waves from the sea and thunderstorms, according to the Office. The Office said the weather “may cause extensive damage to tens of thousands of families living in tents and primitive shelters that do not protect them from the cold winter or the harshness of weather lows.” On Wednesday morning, Gaza’s Civil Defense warned that the coming hours are extremely dangerous and that Gaza may once again “witness a disaster as displaced families face severe flooding. We are in a very difficult situation, and global action is urgently needed to save Gaza from being submerged.” The Gaza Municipality also confirmed that the storms pose a major threat to the displaced people and to residents due to the destruction of the infrastructure after two-year Israeli genocide. It noted the Israeli occupation has destroyed more than 85% of the equipment, “which hinders our ability to assist the population,” adding “the situation in the Strip is catastrophic due to the storms and the severe shortage of essential supplies.” Earlier, the spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres criticised Israeli restrictions on supplies going into Gaza. Despite the UN providing tents, tarpaulins, blankets and winter clothes, more lasting preparedness for shelters and floods remains impossible, Stephane Dujarric told reporters. “You will recall that a major impediment to shelter response is the restrictive registration requirements for NGOs imposed by the Israeli authorities,” Dujarric told reporters in a daily briefing. “Many of our NGO partners remain blocked from bringing in relief, and nearly 4,000 pallets of shelter materials have been rejected by Israeli authorities,” he said. “Gaza urgently needs heavy machinery, tools and many more shelter items to prevent catastrophic flooding,” he said It is now the third winter displaced Palestinians have endured since the start of the two-year Israeli genocide.  Videos and photos circulating on social media show displaced families’ tents flooded by rain on Wednesday, with mattresses, blankets, and personal belongings soaked.  People were also seen taking shelter from the rain with little clothing to protect them. Videos showed the displaced trying to remove large amounts of water from their tents with buckets. According to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, nearly all of the Gaza Strip’s residents have been displaced. Following the start of the ceasefire, many families tried to return to their homes, most to find only rubble. However, according to the UN Satellite Centre, around 81% of all structures are damaged. As the ceasefire enters its third month, humanitarian agencies say that far too little aid is reaching Gaza, as hunger persists and old tents start to fray. According to the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), nearly 1.5 million people already required tents and other emergency shelter materials and more than 282,000 housing units have been damaged or destroyed across Gaza, leaving families without protection, privacy, or adequate shelter as temperatures drop. On Tuesday, Israeli forecaster Tzachi Peleg mocked Gaza’s displaced residents, saying: “Not a single tent will remain… and I have no problem if people don’t survive either.” Peleg predicted that strong winds and heavy rain could destroy most tent camps in the Gaza Strip. He excitedly said that drainage infrastructure is largely destroyed and will not withstand the storm. Underground tunnels are also expected to flood, he added.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66861&slug=heavy-rains-flood-tents-of-displaced-palestinians-in-gaza-as-storm-begins-to-hit-palestine

{Israeli Forecaster Mocks Gaza Displaced: “Not a Single Tent Will Survive… No Problem if People Don’t Either”
Israeli forecaster Tzachi Peleg mocked Gaza’s displaced residents, saying: “Not a single tent will remain… and I have no problem if people don’t survive either,” as Storm Byrne threatens to hit over 2 million people in the Strip.
Gaza (QNN)- Israeli weather expert Tzachi Peleg made cynical remarks about Gaza’s displaced families ahead of Storm Byrne. On a local TV program, Peleg said: “Not a single tent will remain… and I have no problem if people do not survive there either.” The storm is expected to hit Gaza tonight. Peleg predicted that strong winds and heavy rain could destroy most tent camps in the Gaza Strip. He excitedly said that drainage infrastructure is largely destroyed and will not withstand the storm. Underground tunnels are also expected to flood, he added. The storm is expected to peak Thursday and Friday, with Gaza absorbing 100 to 170 millimeters of rain in a short time; equivalent to a month and a half of normal precipitation. Official sources warned that Storm Byrne threatens hundreds of thousands of displaced families. Over 1.5 million people in Gaza live in fragile tents or temporary shelters, many for more than a year. The storm could trigger floods, strong winds, and heavy waves, putting tens of thousands at risk. Authorities fear repeated disasters as residents try to survive in inadequate shelters amid freezing winter conditions. Humanitarian groups called for urgent action. They urged the international community to pressure Israel to open border crossings, allow emergency supplies, and provide temporary shelters. Over 300,000 tents and mobile homes remain blocked from entering Gaza, worsening the crisis. The approaching storm compounds Gaza’s ongoing humanitarian catastrophe, which stems from two years of genocide and nearly two decades of Israeli blockade.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66860&slug=israeli-forecaster-mocks-gaza-displaced-not-a-single-tent-will-survive-no-problem-if-people-dont-either

{Lemkin Institute: Clinton’s Israel Narrative Is Genocide Denial
The Lemkin Institute slammed Hillary Clinton’s recent Israel Hayom Summit remarks, saying her framing of US youth opinion ignores two years of documented killings in Gaza and amounts to outright genocide denial.
Gaza (QNN)- The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, named after Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, called recent statements by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton genocide denial. The statement came after Clinton’s remarks at the Israel Hayom Summit on December 2. The institute said Clinton dismissed the global criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and blamed the shift on “optics” and “the narrative.” It said she ignored two years of documented killings and destruction in Gaza and chose instead to attack social media platforms, especially TikTok. Clinton told the summit that Israel’s declining support among US voters is a generational divide, not a partisan one. She said Israel has “the worst PR of any group” and argued that young Americans consume “pure propaganda” on TikTok. The Lemkin Institute rejected this claim. It said young Americans are responding to firsthand videos from Palestinian journalists, civilians in Gaza, Israeli soldiers, and Israelis themselves. The institute said these videos show evidence of genocide, and no government or organization has offered a credible refutation. “Young people in the U.S. are not stupid or gullible,” the institute said. “They simply reject genocide.” The institute said Clinton showed no concern for what genocidal violence against Palestinians. It said she focused only on Israel’s image and the fact that the crimes are now visible in real time. The group argued that TikTok is not the reason young Americans believe Israel is committing genocide. Many who do not use TikTok hold the same view. The institute noted that major human rights organizations, the United Nations, and many scholars and legal bodies have described Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. It urged Clinton to read the reports. The group also said it is ironic to blame TikTok. It pointed out that the platform has faced repeated accusations of censoring pro-Palestinian content. In July, TikTok appointed a former Israeli army instructor as its new hate-speech manager, which the institute said undermines any claim that the platform favors Palestinian voices. The Lemkin Institute said what troubles Clinton is the loss of top-down narrative control. It said younger generations now access raw videos and testimonies that challenge decades of political messaging. “When Clinton calls this a problem for democracy,” the group wrote, “it sounds more like concern for the weakening of a long-standing political agenda.” The institute said that when leaders do not have the truth on their side, they fall back on public relations strategies. It added that Israel cannot solve its image problem through PR. The only real solution, it said, is to end the genocide, hold perpetrators accountable. The institute said young Americans reject genocide denial, whether it comes from Israel, the United States, Sudan, Myanmar, Russia, or Clinton herself. It said many students risk their education and careers to expose crimes in Gaza. The Lemkin Institute said it stands with students and young people around the world who speak “truth to power” and fight genocide in Palestine and elsewhere. The statement concluded that Clinton’s comments are “a shameful example of the lengths to which people complicit in genocide will go to deny its existence.”} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66859&slug=lemkin-institute-clintons-israel-narrative-is-genocide-denial
