Police officers detain protesters of the "Lift the Ban" demonstration-Photo- Necati Aslım-Anadolu Agency
Al Jazeera - Dec 22, 2025 By Alex Kozul-Wright and News Agencies
{Palestine Action hunger strikes: What are their demands?
As a months-long hunger strike persists, calls for immediate government intervention grow louder.
Six prisoners currently on remand and linked to the banned group Palestine Action have gone on hunger strike, prompting warnings from hundreds of United Kingdom healthcare professionals that they face an immediate risk to their lives. The prisoners are accused of involvement in break-ins at a UK factory operated by Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, Elbit, near Bristol and a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire last year, during which two military planes were spray-painted. All six individuals deny the charges, which relate to criminal damage and unauthorised entry. Some have been held in custody for more than a year while awaiting trial. Two of the hunger strikers were hospitalised last week, as family members raised concerns about prison conditions and a lack of government action.
So why are the six prisoners on hunger strike?
What are their demands?
The hunger strikers have five key demands: immediate bail, the right to a fair trial (which they say would include the release of documents related to “the ongoing witch-hunt of activists and campaigners”), ending censorship of their communications, “de-proscribing” Palestine Action, which is classed as a ‘terrorist’ group, and the shutting down of Elbit Systems, the Israel-based defence manufacturer with several UK factories. The protesters have also called for an end to their alleged censorship in prison, accusing authorities of withholding mail, calls and books. Looking ahead, the six prisoners are expected to be held for more than one year until their trial dates, well beyond the UK’s six-month pre-trial detention limit.
What have they been charged with?
The prisoners on hunger strike, aged between 20 and 31, are: Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Teuta Hoxha and Kamran Ahmed. Lewie Chiaramello is on a partial strike, refusing food every other day as he is diabetic. They are being held across five prisons for their alleged involvement in break-ins at the UK subsidiary of Elbit Systems in Filton near Bristol, where equipment was reportedly damaged, and at a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire, where two military aircraft were sprayed with red paint. The prisoners deny the charges against them, which include burglary and violent disorder. Palestine Action was branded a ‘terror’ group in July, a label that applies to groups such as ISIL (ISIS). More than 1,600 arrests linked to support for Palestine Action were made in the three months following the ban’s introduction. The ban has been challenged in court. For their part, the pro-Palestinian group believes the UK government is complicit in Israeli war crimes committed in Gaza. Numerous rights organisations have said that Israel’s actions in Gaza amounted to genocide. A United Nations inquiry released in September also said Israel’s war in Gaza was a genocide.
Why are they doing this?
The prisoners say they are deeply affected by Israel’s war on Gaza, insisting the death toll of more than 70,000 is a moral failing by Western governments. Despite a ceasefire agreed in October, Israel has killed at least 400 Palestinians in more than 700 attacks on the besieged enclave. They have cast their punishment as solidarity with the Palestinian people, whom they believe the world governments have abandoned. In a voice recording from prison, Amu Gib – who has lost more than 10kg (22lbs) is below the normal range for most health indicators – lamented “a society that imprisons its conscience”. Teuta Hoxha, who is on the 40th day of her strike, suffers from low blood pressure, headaches, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Her 17-year-old sister, Rahma, told Sky News that Teuta feels “weak” and nauseous, and is preparing to die. The two longest-protesting detainees have been refusing food for 45 days, according to supporters, a claim that has not been disputed by officials.
How long are they due to be on remand for?
UK law sets strict custody time limits to protect defendants who have not yet been convicted, ensuring they are not held in pre-trial detention for excessive periods. The rules require prosecutions to bring cases to trial without undue delay. In Britain, pre-trial detention is generally limited to six months. Yet several of the six Palestine Action prisoners have been held for more than a year without trial, exceeding that statutory limit. More than 20,000 people have signed a petition by the campaign group Avaaz calling on Justice Secretary David Lammy to intervene, while more than 50 members of parliament (MPs) have urged Lammy to meet the hunger strikers’ lawyers. John McDonnell, Labour MP, told Al Jazeera: “There’s a real anxiety now about what the hell is going on. Why aren’t we intervening as a government? Why aren’t we sorting this out? There’s an increasing worry that we’re in a situation now which is highly risky.” On December 18, more than 800 doctors wrote to the justice secretary to warn that “without resolution, there is the real and increasingly likely potential that young British citizens will die in prison, having never even been convicted of an offence”. In their letter, the healthcare professionals said twice daily assessments, daily blood tests and 24-hour medical cover were needed. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for HMP Peterborough prison, where Teuta Hoxha is being held, said that all prisoners are managed in line with government policies and procedures. They continued: “If any prisoner has specific complaints, we encourage them to raise them directly with the prison, as there are numerous channels available for addressing such concerns.”
Is there a precedent to this?
In 1981, members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) – who sought to reunify Ireland as a single state – went on hunger strike in Northern Ireland, demanding the restoration of their political status, which had been rescinded by the British government in 1976. At the time, the prisoners opposed being treated as ordinary criminals, arguing their actions were politically motivated within a wider conflict known as The Troubles – a violent conflict between republicans seeking unification and unionists wanting to remain British. Led by Bobby Sands, who was elected an MP from prison and who died after 66 days, the hunger strike intensified nationalist support and became a pivotal moment in the conflict. In total, 12 republican hunger strikers died. Some of the former Irish republican hunger strikers are offering support to Palestine Action prisoners today. Tommy McKearney, who participated in the 1980 strike for 53 days, attended a London assembly in early December for the prisoners, as did Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, a former Northern Irish MP and prominent campaigner for the strikers.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/22/palestine-action-hunger-strikes-what-are-their-demands

{Illegal settlement expansion: How Israel is redrawing occupied West Bank
Israel’s approval of 19 new settlements stands to redraw the occupied West Bank, undermining prospect of two-state solution. The Israeli security cabinet has approved 19 new settlement outposts in the occupied West Bank as the right-wing government headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu moves to prevent the formation of a viable Palestinian state. As Netanyahu’s government has made the annexation of occupied Palestinian territory a priority, the United Nations has said Israeli settlement expansions in 2025 have reached their highest level since 2017. “These figures represent a sharp increase compared to previous years,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, noting an average of 12,815 housing units were added annually from 2017 to 2022. Under the current far-right government, the number of settlement and outposts in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem has risen by nearly 50 percent – from 141 in 2022 to 210 now. An outpost is built without government authorisation while a settlement is authorised by the Israeli government. Nearly 10 percent of Israel’s Jewish population of 7.7 million people lives in these settlements, which are considered illegal under international law. Here’s everything you need to know about the newly approved settlements and what they mean for the future of Palestinian statehood.
Where are the new settlements?
The new settlements are spread across the West Bank – home to more than three million Palestinians – from Jenin in the north to Hebron in the south. Most of them are close to the densely populated Palestinian villages of Duma, Jalud, Qusra and al-Lubban Asharqiya in the Nablus governorate and Sinjil in the Ramallah and el-Bireh governorate, according to Peace Now, an antisettlement watchdog group based in Israel. Other locations identified by the watchdog for the new settlement areas are in the northwestern West Bank, in the Salfit governorate, near the Palestinian towns of Sa’ir and Beit Sahour, and other areas near Bethlehem and in the Jericho governorate. Israel’s construction spree is entrenching the occupation and squeezing Palestinians out of their homeland. Settlements dot the West Bank and are often connected by Israeli-only highways while Palestinians face roadblocks and security checks, making their daily commutes harrowing experiences. Israel has also built Separation Barrier that stretches for more than 700km (435 miles) through the West Bank restricting movement of Palestinians. Israel says the wall is for security purposes. Under a dual legal system, Palestinians are tried in Israel’s military courts while crimes committed by settlers are referred to a civilian court. Israel’s latest approval also includes settlements in Ganim and Kadim, two of the four West Bank  settlements east of Jenin that were dismantled as part of Israel’s 2005 disengagement plan, a unilateral withdrawal ordered by then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Five of the 19 settlements already existed but had not previously been granted legal status under Israeli law, according to a statement from the office of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Israel controls most of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, territory Palestinians want to be part of a future state along with Gaza. Israel captured East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in a 1967 war. It later annexed East Jerusalem, which Palestinians see as their future capital. Israeli settlements and outposts are Jewish-only communities built on Palestinian land and they can range in size from a single dwelling to a collection of high-rises. About 700,000 settlers live in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, according to Peace Now. The latest approval comes at a time when the United States has been working with Israel and Arab allies to move the Gaza ceasefire into a second phase. After a meeting on Friday of top officials from the US, Egypt, Turkiye and Qatar in the US city of Miami, Florida, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel of committing repeated violations of the ceasefire that began in October. Israel still controls nearly half of Gaza’s territory since a ceasefire was announced on October 10 after more than two years of a genocidal war killed more than 70,000 Palestinians.
Has settlement construction spiked in recent years?
The new settlements bring the total number approved over the past three years to 69, according to a statement from the office of Smotrich, who is a vocal proponent of settlement expansion and a settler himself. In May, Israel approved 22 new settlements in the West Bank, the biggest expansion in decades. The UN chief has condemned what he described as Israel’s “relentless” expansion of settlements in occupied Palestinian territory. It “continues to fuel tensions, impede access by Palestinians to their land and threaten the viability of a fully independent, democratic, contiguous and sovereign Palestinian state”, Guterres said this month. Palestinians have also been facing increasing settler violence since Israel’s war on Gaza began. According to data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), settlers have attacked Palestinians nearly 3,000 times over the past two years. Settler attacks often escalate during the olive harvest from September to November, a vital time of year that provides a key source of income for many Palestinian families. Settlers are often armed and frequently accompanied or protected by Israeli soldiers. In addition to destroying Palestinian property, they have carried out arson attacks and killed Palestinian residents. Every West Bank governorate has faced settler attacks over the past two years, data from OCHA shows.
Are the settlements legal under international law?
No. The UN, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Committee of the Red Cross all consider Israeli settlements as a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which outlaws settler activity. In a landmark judgement in July 2024, the ICJ, the UN’s top court, found that Israel’s occupation, settlement activity and annexation measures are illegal. In its nonbinding advisory opinion, the ICJ ruled that Israel’s continued presence in occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and should come to an end “as rapidly as possible”. The judges pointed to a wide list of policies – including the building and expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, use of the area’s natural resources, the annexation and imposition of permanent control over lands and discriminatory policies against Palestinians – all of which it said violated international law. Two months later, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding that Israel end its occupation of Palestinian territory within a year. But Israel has defied the resolution by the global body backed by its ally – the United States. Washington has extended diplomatic cover to Israel against numerous UN resolutions. Since returning to power in January, US President Donald Trump has adopted a permissive stance towards Israeli settlement activity, breaking with longstanding US policy. In 2019, he said Israeli settlements in the West Bank were not inherently illegal under international law. Trump also revoked his predecessor President Joe Biden’s sanctions on several settlers and groups accused of perpetrating violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. US sanctions on settlers under Biden came under Washington’s long-held policy that settlements are the biggest impediments to the two-state solution to the conflict. However, Trump and his officials have repeatedly said Israel cannot annex the West Bank. “It won’t happen because I gave my word to the Arab countries,” Trump told Time magazine in October. “Israel would lose all of its support from the United States if that happened.” What will the new settlements mean for the future of a Palestinian state?
The growing settlements – together with other projects undertaken by Netanyahu’s government like the E1 settlement plan that will split the West Bank – are further squeezing Palestinians in occupied territory. Settlement expansions have drawn criticism from the international community, including Israel’s European allies, who said the steps undermine prospects for a two-state solution. But Netanyahu and his far-right cabinet, including Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have doubled down on their rhetoric against a Palestinian state. “On the ground, we are blocking the establishment of a Palestinian terror state,” Smotrich said in his statement on Sunday. In June, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Norway slapped sanctions on Smotrich and Ben-Gvir for inciting violence. Several European nations, including the UK and France, as well as Australia recognised Palestinian statehood in September in a push for the two-state solution. Israel condemned the move, and Netanyahu said he won’t allow a Palestinian state. He has previously boasted how he scuttled the 1993 and 1995 Oslo peace accords by boosting settlement expansion in occupied territory. “It’s not going to happen. There will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River,” Netanyahu said in an address in September. “For years, I have prevented the creation of that terror state against tremendous pressure, both domestic and from abroad.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/22/illegal-settlement-expansion-how-israel-is-redrawing-occupied-west-bank

{Israeli military storms West Bank towns, carries out demolition
Palestinian officials condemn the actions as part of a ‘systematic policy of displacement’ in the occupied territory. Israeli forces have stormed towns in the occupied West Bank and demolished a residential building. Soldiers fired stun grenades and tear gas on Monday as they carried out the demolition in East Jerusalem. Palestinian officials accused Israel of a campaign of displacement in the city, saying the operation was part of a systematic attempt to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their land. Scores of Palestinians were displaced as Israeli bulldozers tore through a four-storey residential building. Activists called it the largest such demolition in the area this year. Three bulldozers destroyed the building with 13 apartments in the Wadi Qaddum neighbourhood of the Silwan district, south of Jerusalem’s Old City, Al Jazeera Arabic correspondents reported. Israeli forces cordoned off surrounding roads, deployed heavily across the area and positioned security personnel on the rooftops of neighbouring houses. During the operation, a young man and a teenage boy were arrested. Residents were told the demolition order was issued because the building had been constructed without a permit. Palestinians face severe obstacles in obtaining building permits due to Israel’s restrictive planning policies, activists say, a policy that they assert is part of a systematic attempt to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their land. Israel’s security cabinet has recently approved the recognition of 19 new settlements in the West Bank, expanding the total number approved this year to 69 as the government continues its settlement push.
‘Systematic policy of displacement’
The Jerusalem governorate, affiliated with the Palestinian Authority, condemned the demolition. “The building’s destruction is part of a systematic policy aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinian residents and emptying the city of its original inhabitants,” the governorate said in a statement. “Any demolition that expels residents from their homes constitutes a clear occupation plan to replace the land’s owners with settlers.” The Jerusalem municipality, an Israeli authority whose jurisdiction over East Jerusalem is not recognised under international law, said the demolition was based on a 2014 court order. Israeli human rights groups Ir Amim and Bimkom said the demolition was carried out without warning despite a scheduled meeting on Monday to discuss steps to legalise the building. “This is part of an ongoing policy. This year alone, around 100 East Jerusalem families have lost their homes,” the groups said, calling Monday’s demolition the largest of 2025.
Escalated attacks
Elsewhere in the West Bank, Israeli forces damaged agricultural land and uprooted trees in the northern town of Silat al-Harithiya. In the city of Halhul, north of Hebron, Israeli forces stormed several neighbourhoods with large numbers of military vehicles, deployed sniper teams and took up positions across the city. Al Jazeera Arabic journalists reported that Israeli vehicles entered Halhul through multiple checkpoints, including Nabi Yunis, while closing the Halhul Bridge checkpoint linking the city to Hebron. Since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, Israeli forces and settlers have also sharply escalated attacks across the West Bank. More than 1,102 Palestinians have been killed in the territory, about 11,000 wounded and more than 21,000 arrested, according to Palestinian figures.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/22/israeli-military-storms-west-bank-towns-carries-out-demolition

Critical Medicine Shortages
Quds news - Dec 22, 2025
{Gaza: Health Ministry Warns of Critical Medicine Shortages After Two Years of Israeli Genocide and Continued Aid Restrictions
During the two-year assault on Gaza, which started in October 2023, Israel attacked nearly all hospitals and healthcare facilities, with at least 125 health facilities damaged, including 34 hospitals.
Gaza (QNN)- The Palestinian Health Ministry has warned of “alarming” shortages of medicines in Gaza, amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid entering the enclave after two years of Israeli genocide, maing it difficult to doctors in the war-torn territory to provide diagnostic and treatment services. During the two-year assault on Gaza, which started in October 2023, Israel attacked nearly all hospitals and healthcare facilities, with at least 125 health facilities damaged, including 34 hospitals. “The number of items completely out of stock on the essential medicines list has reached 321, representing a 52 percent shortage,” the Health Ministry said in a statement. “The number of items completely out of stock on the medical consumables list has reached 710, representing a 71 percent shortage. The shortage rate for laboratory tests and blood bank supplies has reached 59 percent,” it added. The most critical drug shortages are in emergency services, particularly life-saving intravenous solutions, intravenous antibiotics, and pain killers, the Ministry said. The shortage in emergency and intensive care services is potentially depriving 200,000 patients of emergency care, 100,000 patients of surgical services, and 700 patients of intensive care, it noted. The Ministry cited additional shortages in kidney, oncology, open-heart surgery, and orthopedic supplies, among others. “Given these alarming figures, and with the continued reduction by the occupation of the number of medical trucks entering Gaza to less than 30 percent of the monthly need, and with the insufficient quantity of supplies available, the Ministry of Health urgently appeals to all relevant parties to fully assume their responsibilities in implementing emergency interventions,” it said. Amid the shortages of medical supplies, 1,500 children are awaiting the opening of border crossings to travel and receive treatment outside Gaza as Israel also continues to close and restrict crossings into and out of Gaza. Zaher Al Waheidi, the head of the Information Unit at Gaza’s Health Ministry, said on Sunday that 1,200 patients, including 155 children, have died after being unable to be evacuated from Gaza for medical treatment. Healthcare in Gaza has been pushed to the brink of collapse following repeated attacks by Israeli forces since October 2023. Human rights groups and United Nations-backed experts have confirmed that Israel has been systematically destroying Gaza’s healthcare system. Several medical facilities across Gaza were bombed, burned, and besieged by the Israeli military since the start of the war, including Kamal Adwan Hospital, al-Shifa Hospital, al-Ahli Hospital, and al-Awda Hospital. Dozens of other medical clinics, stations, and vehicles also came under Israeli attack. The targeting of health facilities, medical personnel and patients is considered a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Convention. According to the World Health Programme (WHO), 18 out of 36 hospitals and 43 percent of primary health-care centers in Gaza were partially functioning. Since the declaration of the ceasefire in Gaza on October 10, Israel has violated the agreement with near-daily attacks, killing hundreds of people. Israel violated the ceasefire agreement at least 738 times from October 10 to December 12, through the continuation of attacks by air, artillery and direct shootings, the Government Media Office in Gaza reports. Israel shot at civilians 205 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 37 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 358 times, and demolished people’s properties on 138 occasions. It added that Israel had also detained 43 Palestinians from Gaza over the past two months. Israel has also continued to block vital humanitarian aid and destroy homes and infrastructure across the Strip.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66927&slug=gaza-health-ministry-warns-of-critical-medicine-shortages-after-two-years-of-israeli-genocide-and-continued-aid-restrictions

2025 in Gaza: 12 months, 12 pictures
Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 70,669 Palestinians and wounded 171,165 since October 2023.
Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza has caused catastrophic destruction, disrupting the lives of more than two million Palestinians. Air strikes have obliterated whole families and left communities displaced and vulnerable. Long queues for food distribution underscore the dire humanitarian emergency facing the territory. This has become the deadliest conflict for journalists on record with more than 300 journalists and media workers killed in Gaza since the war began in October 2023, including Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif. Starvation-related deaths are increasing as restrictions and military operations exacerbate a critical food shortage throughout Gaza. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, at least 475 people, including 165 children, have died from malnutrition. During Israel’s war, nearly all of Gaza’s hospitals and healthcare facilities have come under attack with at least 125 health facilities damaged, including 34 hospitals. Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to seek refuge in temporary shelters and overcrowded camps. Flooding this month has further deteriorated conditions throughout the already devastated region.

Palestine Action hunger striker Amu Gib - Courtesy- Nida Jafri
Al Jazeera - Dec 22, 2025 By Anealla Safdar
{Two Palestine Action hunger strikers in UK prisons admitted to hospital
Kamran Ahmed and Amu Gib have been hospitalised as a hunger strike that began 50 days ago raises alarm.
London, United Kingdom – Two Palestine Action-affiliated remand prisoners on hunger strike have been taken to hospital, according to a family member and a friend, adding to fears that the young Britons refusing food in protest could die at any moment. Twenty-eight-year-old Kamran Ahmed, who is being held at Pentonville prison in London, was hospitalised on Saturday, his sister, Shahmina Alam, told Al Jazeera. Amu Gib, 30, who has not eaten food for 50 days at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, was taken to hospital on Friday, said the Prisoners for Palestine group and friend Nida Jafri, who is in regular contact with them. Gib uses the pronoun they. Ahmed and Gib are among six detainees protesting across five prisons over their alleged involvement in break-ins at the United Kingdom’s subsidiary of the Israeli defence firm Elbit Systems in Bristol and a Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire. They deny the charges against them, such as burglary and violent disorder. “It’s day 42 [of Ahmed’s hunger strike], and at this point, there’s significant risk of organ damage,” said his sister, Alam. “We know that he’s rapidly been losing weight in the last few days, losing up to half a kilogram [1.1lbs] a day.” Ahmed’s last recorded weight was 60kg (132lbs). When Al Jazeera first interviewed Alam on December 12, Ahmed, who is 180cm (5′ 11”), weighed 64kg (141lbs), having entered prison at a healthy 74kg (163lbs). On Thursday, Alam told journalists at a news conference in London that he weighed 61.5kg (136lbs). Ahmed’s speech was slurred in a call with the family on Friday, said Alam. He is said to be suffering from high ketone levels and chest pains. “Honestly, I don’t know how he’s going to come out of this one,” said Alam. It is the third time Ahmed has been hospitalised since he joined the hunger strike.

‘Critical stage’
The hunger strikers’ demands include immediate bail, the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action, which accuses the UK government of complicity in Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. The UK government banned Palestine Action in July, branding it a “terror” group, a label that applies to groups such as ISIL (ISIS). The protesters have called for an end to their alleged censorship in prison, accusing authorities of withholding mail, calls and books. They are also urging that all Elbit sites be closed. The six are expected to be held for more than a year until their trial dates, well beyond the UK’s six-month pre-trial detention limit. Qesser Zuhrah, a 20-year-old who has refused food for 50 days, is also in hospital, having lost 13 percent of her body weight, according to her lawyers. The other protesters are Heba Muraisi, Teuta Hoxha and Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic and refuses food every other day. There was no immediate comment from either Pentonville or HMP Bronzefield.
‘I’m scared’
Gib called their friend, Jafri, on Thursday from prison, telling her they needed a wheelchair to attend a doctor’s appointment where their vital signs would be checked. Prison staff at first “refused” to provide a wheelchair, and later, after offering one, “refused to push” it, Jafri said. “So they laid there with … no check of their vitals on day 47 of their hunger strike,” Jafri said. When they are hospitalised, the prisoners are unable to call their loved ones, as they can from jail. Jafri told Al Jazeera, “I’m scared they’re there alone with no phones and no calls allowed.” Gib, who has lost more than 10kg (22lbs), is below the normal range for most health indicators, which is “highly concerning” for their immune system, their lawyers have said. Prison officials have “failed to provide [Gib] with thiamine [a vitamin] consistently, and Amu is feeling the effects on their cognitive function”, the lawyers said. Gib’s eyes are also “sore with the bright [prison] lights”, Jafri said. The lawyers have demanded a meeting with Secretary of State for Justice David Lammy, hoping his intervention could be life-saving. Thousands of everyday Britons, hundreds of doctors and dozens of MPs have urged Lammy to heed their call. But so far, he has refused, leading critics to accuse the UK government of wilfully ignoring the issue. The UK media have also been accused of downplaying the protest and its dangers. The protest is said to be the largest coordinated hunger strike in UK prisons since 1981, when Irish Republican inmates led by Bobby Sands refused food. “In contrast to the robust media coverage of the Irish hunger strikes in the 1980s, the Palestine Action hunger strikes have been largely met with media silence,” wrote Bart Cammaerts, a professor of politics and communication at the London School of Economics. “What will it take for the British media to pay attention to the plight of jailed pro-Palestinian activists? The death of an activist? Or the awakening of a moral conscience?”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/22/two-palestine-action-hunger-strikers-in-uk-prisons-admitted-to-hospital

{Israel’s Ben-Gvir Proposes Prison “Surrounded by Crocodiles” for Palestinian Detainees
The report said the proposed site would be near Hamat Gader, a hot springs resort in northern Israel in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has proposed establishing a “detention facility surrounded by crocodiles” to hold Palestinian detainees, marking the latest move in Israel’s increasingly oppressive campaign against Palestinians. Israeli Channel 13 reported on Sunday that the Israel Prison Service (IPS) is reviewing what it described as "an unusual proposal" aimed at preventing jailbreak attempts. Ben-Gvir raised the idea during a recent security briefing with IPS Chief Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi, according to Channel 13. The report said the proposed site would be near Hamat Gader, a hot springs resort in northern Israel in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. According to Israeli media, the resort already has a controlled alligator habitat, and crocodiles would be brought in for the prison - housed in a fenced enclosure to prevent escape attempts. The proposal comes as the Israeli parliament is expected to soon vote on a bill put forward by the far-right minister that would allow the execution of Palestinian detainees allegedly accused of planning or carrying out operations. The death penalty bill is expected to go through two more readings in the Knesset, including one next week, before being passed into official law. The bill was initially intended to allow judges to impose the death penalty on Palestinians convicted of killing Israeli settlers on so-called "nationalistic" grounds. The legislation would not apply to Israeli settlers who kill Palestinians under similar circumstances. A new addition announced by Ben-Gvir earlier this week expands the draft legislation to include those accused of perpetrating operations on 7 October 2023, who will receive the death penalty as a "mandatory sentence". Recently, a report released by Israel’s public defender’s office said the detention conditions for Palestinian detainees have grown markedly worse since October 7, with many suffering severe hunger, massive overcrowding, and poor sanitary conditions. Israeli far-right ministers such as Ben-Gvir have often bragged that their racist policies have led to harsher conditions for Palestinian inmates. The report said reduced food allotments for Palestinian prisoners introduced after the October 7 attacks on Israel have led to “severe hunger, manifested in sharp weight loss and accompanying physical symptoms including extreme physical weakness and even fainting”, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. The public defender’s report – based on visits to Israeli detention facilities such as Ramon, Megiddo, Ayalon, Shatta, Eshel and Ketziot – also stated that Palestinian detainees “are held in dark cells without lighting, in harsh sanitary conditions, in stifling heat and without ventilation”.
Many detainees suffer poor health conditions as a result, it added.
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. According to several Palestinian prisoner-monitoring groups, these conditions have persisted even after the Gaza ceasefire was signed. Since the start of the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza, at least 86 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody, including about 50 from Gaza. Prisoner groups said 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".} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66925&slug=israels-ben-gvir-proposes-prison-surrounded-by-crocodiles-for-palestinian-detainees


Yellow 'Destruction' Line
Quds news - Dec 22, 2025
{Israeli Forces Push Deeper Into Jabalia, Shift “Yellow Line” and Occupy New Areas
Israeli forces pushed deeper into Jabalia under heavy fire, bulldozed residential areas, and shifted the “yellow line” by up to one kilometer, seizing new land and tightening restrictions on where displaced Palestinian families can remain.
Gaza (QNN)- In a new violation of Trump's ceasefire agreement, Israeli military vehicles advanced into several areas of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on Sunday amid heavy gunfire. Witnesses said the incursions targeted the neighborhoods of al-Trans, al-Hawja, Nassar, and Zayed Roundabout. Israeli bulldozers began leveling land in the invaded areas. Troops also installed new yellow concrete blocks, swallowing more land and tightening the area where hundreds of thousands of displaced families are allowed to remain. The Israeli army moved the so-called “yellow line” in Jabalia at multiple points. The shift seized new areas beyond previously agreed limits. In some locations, the yellow line moved more than half a kilometer. In other areas, it advanced between 800 and 1,000 meters. The moves form part of repeated Israeli ground incursions and ongoing moving of the yellow blocks. Israeli forces fire daily at civilians outside the yellow zone. The shootings aim to empty neighborhoods and ease Israeli control over additional land. Earlier this month, Israeli army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir described the yellow line as the “new border” between Israel and Gaza. He said the army must prepare for the possibility of a sudden war.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66924&slug=israeli-forces-push-deeper-into-jabalia-shift-yellow-line-and-occupy-new-areas


Videoscreen grab: Medical equipment destroyed
Al Jazeera - Dec 21, 2025
{‘Alarming’ medicine shortages in Gaza amid Israeli restrictions
Gaza’s Health Ministry says the most critical drug shortages are in emergency services. Gaza’s Ministry of Health has appealed for increased drug, medical consumables and laboratory supplies, warning of severe shortages after more than two years of Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza and a crippling blockade. The ministry said on Sunday that the shortages were making it difficult to provide diagnostic and treatment services. Doctors in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory have long warned that they are struggling to save lives because Israel is not allowing the most essential medical supplies in. 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. “The number of items completely out of stock on the essential medicines list has reached 321, representing a 52 percent shortage,” the Health Ministry said in a statement. “The number of items completely out of stock on the medical consumables list has reached 710, representing a 71 percent shortage. The shortage rate for laboratory tests and blood bank supplies has reached 59 percent,” it added. The most critical drug shortages are in emergency services, particularly life-saving intravenous solutions, intravenous antibiotics, and pain killers, the ministry said. The shortage in emergency and intensive care services is potentially depriving 200,000 patients of emergency care, 100,000 patients of surgical services, and 700 patients of intensive care, it added. The ministry cited additional shortages in kidney, oncology, open-heart surgery, and orthopedic supplies, among others. “Given these alarming figures, and with the continued reduction by the occupation of the number of medical trucks entering Gaza to less than 30 percent of the monthly need, and with the insufficient quantity of supplies available, the Ministry of Health urgently appeals to all relevant parties to fully assume their responsibilities in implementing emergency interventions,” it said. Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that took effect on October 10, Israel continues to violate its agreement with Hamas by failing to allow in the agreed quantities of medical aid trucks, deepening what the Gaza Health Ministry has described as a critical and ongoing health emergency. Amid the shortages of medical supplies, 1,500 children are awaiting the opening of border crossings to travel and receive treatment outside Gaza. Zaher Al Waheidi, the head of the Information Unit at Gaza’s Health Ministry, said on Sunday that 1,200 patients, including 155 children, have died after being unable to be evacuated from Gaza for medical treatment.
Palestinian detainees released
Meanwhile, six Palestinian detainees released from Israeli detention arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah on Sunday for medical treatment, according to medical sources. A correspondent for the Anadolu news agency said the men were transferred via the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Rights groups say Israel had detained the men without clear legal procedures. The ICRC says it has not been granted access to Palestinians held in Israeli detention since October 2023, warning that international humanitarian law requires humane treatment and family contact. The releases are part of sporadic Israeli actions involving Gaza detainees held for months. Many former prisoners report malnutrition and injuries from abuse. About 1,700 detainees were released in October under the ceasefire deal, but more than 10,000 Palestinians – including women and children – remain in Israeli prisons, where rights groups report widespread abuse, starvation and medical neglect. Elsewhere in the enclave, Gaza’s Civil Defence said it rescued five people, including a child and two women, who were trapped under the collapsed roof of their house in Sheikh Radwan, northwest of Gaza City. The roof collapse killed four people, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Interior and National Security. At least 18 people have been killed due to the collapse of 46 buildings in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect, according to the ministry. More than 70,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed, and more than 171,000 others have been wounded in attacks in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 2023.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/21/alarming-medicine-shortages-in-gaza-amid-israeli-restrictions
