{UK police drop probe into Bob Vylan’s chants about Israeli military
Police say there is ‘insufficient evidence’ to bring charges after investigating comments made at Glastonbury festival. British police have said they will take no further action over comments made by punk-rap duo Bob Vylan about the Israeli military during a performance at the Glastonbury music festival in June. Avon and Somerset Police said on Tuesday that the remarks did not meet the criminal threshold required for prosecution “for any person to be prosecuted”. During the performance, the group’s lead singer – Pascal Robinson-Foster, known by his stage name Bobby Vylan – led chants of “death, death” directed at the Israeli military over its genocidal war in Gaza. Police said there was “insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction”. The force added that it interviewed a man in his mid-30s and contacted about 200 members of the public as part of the investigation. The chant, which was livestreamed by the BBC as part of its Glastonbury coverage on June 28, prompted a widespread backlash. The broadcaster later apologised for transmitting what it described as “such offensive and deplorable behaviour”, and its complaints unit found the BBC had breached editorial guidelines. Avon and Somerset Police said it had considered the intent behind the words, the wider context, relevant case law and freedom of expression issues before concluding the investigation. “We believe it is right this matter was comprehensively investigated, every potential criminal offence was thoroughly considered, and we sought all the advice we could to ensure we made an informed decision,” the statement said. “The comments made on Saturday 28 June drew widespread anger, proving that words have real-world consequences.” Following the performance, the United States revoked the visas of Bob Vylan, forcing the cancellation of a planned US tour scheduled to begin in October. Bob Vylan have launched defamation proceedings against Irish broadcaster RTE, alleging it falsely claimed they led anti-Semitic chants during the Glastonbury performance. In July, the British police also dropped an investigation into the Irish-language rap group Kneecap after chants of “Free Palestine” during a performance. Detectives sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service and decided to take no further action, citing “insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence”.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/uk-police-drop-probe-into-bob-vylans-chants-about-israeli-military

{Israeli forces demolish shops in raids near occupied East Jerusalem
Commercial premises among buildings facing demolition as military incursions intensify near Qalandiya and Kafr Aqab. Israeli forces have begun demolishing shops in the vicinity of the Qalandiya refugee camp, north of occupied East Jerusalem, as part of a wider military incursion across several Palestinian neighbourhoods, witnesses and medical officials say. The raids, which began early on Tuesday, have extended into the nearby town of Kafr Aqab, where Israeli troops deployed in large numbers, carried out house searches and forcibly evicted residents from their homes, according to local media reports. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its medical teams treated at least three people injured during the raids in Qalandiya and Kafr Aqab. The injuries included a bullet wound to the thigh, wounds caused by shrapnel from live ammunition, and injuries resulting from physical assault. The Jerusalem governorate reported that at least three Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces’ gunfire, in addition to dozens of cases of suffocation caused by the firing of tear gas and stun grenades, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported. Several Palestinians were detained during the large-scale incursion that was also accompanied by the deployment of military vehicles and bulldozers. Among those arrested are Anan Mohammed Taha and his father, Mohammed Taha, residents of the Qalandiya refugee camp, Wafa said.
‘Intimidation’ and ‘anxiety’
Residents said Israeli forces ordered several families to evacuate their homes, with at least three houses converted into temporary military outposts in Kafr Aqab. Homeowners were reportedly told the operation would continue until at least Wednesday morning. Israeli forces also stormed the youth club inside the Qalandiya refugee camp and turned the facility into a military base, according to Al Jazeera Arabic’s correspondent. Journalists covering the operation were also targeted, including Al Jazeera Arabic reporters, with Israeli forces firing stun grenades and tear gas canisters in their direction during the raid in Kafr Aqab. According to the Jerusalem governorate authorities, stun grenades were also fired directly towards students in the area as they were returning home from school, while private surveillance cameras were seized. Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim, reporting from Kafr Aqab, said Israeli forces are continuing to “intimidate” Palestinians. “They have raided Palestinian stores, Palestinian shops, and they’ve destroyed some of the plaques, some of the advertisement billboards that were here”, in an attempt to further cripple the Palestinian economy, Ibrahim said. “This is part of the anxiety that Palestinians live through day in and day out as these Israeli raids continue on a daily basis,” she added. Israeli incursions across the West Bank average “60 raids per day”, Ibrahim said. In addition to the demolitions, Israeli forces confiscated goods from commercial shops in the Qalandiya refugee camp, Kafr Aqab and parts of northern Jerusalem, citing alleged unpaid municipal taxes. Most Palestinians living in these areas hold Jerusalem residency identification cards. Residents say they are subject to high municipal taxes while receiving few basic services. Separately, confrontations were also reported in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, after Israeli forces stormed the area.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/israeli-forces-demolish-shops-in-raids-near-occupied-east-jerusalem

{Gaza patients facing death as Israel continues to block medical supplies
The head of Gaza’s Health Ministry tells Al Jazeera that situation of hospitals is ‘horrific’ due to lack of medical supplies. Gaza’s health system is on the brink of an unprecedented collapse, with thousands of patients facing death or disability amid a harsh Israeli siege on the enclave, a top health official has warned. Munir al-Barsh, director-general of Gaza’s Ministry of Health, told Al Jazeera on Tuesday that the situation inside the territory’s hospitals was “tragic and horrific”, as Israeli authorities continued to block the flow of much-needed medical supplies, directly impacting the ability of doctors to respond to critical cases.
Doctors in war-ravaged Gaza have long warned that their efforts to save lives are being badly hampered by Israel’s refusal to allow the most essential medical supplies in. Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that took effect in October, Israel continues to violate its agreement with Hamas by failing to allow in agreed quantities of medical aid trucks, deepening what the Health Ministry has described as a critical and ongoing health emergency. Al-Barsh said the health system was suffering from widespread shortages of medicines and medical supplies, particularly surgical consumables needed to perform operations. He said nearly three-quarters of the supplies needed were unavailable, with severe shortages of solutions, anaesthetics, gauze and dialysis supplies, while power outages and a significant shortage of generators were also hampering their work. The situation was the most dangerous seen since the establishment of the Palestinian Authority more than 30 years ago, he said. During Israel’s genocidal war, which has spanned more than two years, nearly all of Gaza’s hospitals and healthcare facilities have been attacked, with at least 125 health facilities damaged, including 34 hospitals. Israel killed more than 1,700 health workers during its brutal war. Israel continues to hold 95 Palestinian doctors and medical workers, including 80 from Gaza.
Thousands await treatment abroad
Al-Barsh said it was not only those wounded by Israeli aggression who were impacted as a result of the situation. Some 4,000 glaucoma patients were facing the risk of permanent blindness due to a lack of treatment options, while nearly 40,000 displaced pregnant women were living in substandard shelters, jeopardising their health and that of their unborn children. Meanwhile, he warned, an estimated 320,000 children below five years were at risk of malnutrition, amid a worsening humanitarian situation caused by Israeli curbs on aid desperately needed in the enclave. While a system was in place for transporting patients outside Gaza for treatment, waiting lists were long, and patients were dying while awaiting medical attention. Al-Barsh said at least 1,156 patients had died while waiting for permission to travel for treatment, a “lengthy and complex” mechanism that saw referrals from doctors in Gaza assessed by the World Health Organization (WHO) before being referred to Israeli authorities for security approval. He said nearly 20,000 patients in Gaza were on waiting lists for travel, with some 18,500 having been approved by the WHO, and about 3,700 were in critical condition. About 4,300 children were among those awaiting transfers out of the territory, he said. He demanded that Israel open border crossings immediately to allow the flow of much-needed humanitarian supplies and permit the transport of thousands of critical patients for treatment, warning any further delays could cost lives. About 71,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 171,000 wounded in attacks in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/gaza-patients-facing-death-as-israel-continues-to-block-medical-supplies


Al Jazeera - Dec 23, 2025 By Simon Speakman Cordall
{Is Israel’s government waging war on Al Jazeera and the media?
Critics say Israel’s media laws, including a ban on Al Jazeera, aim to silence dissenting voices, undermining democracy and free speech. The Israeli government is cracking down on critical media outlets, giving it unprecedented control over how its actions are presented to its citizens. Among the moves is the so-called Al Jazeera Law, which allows the government to shut down foreign media outlets on national security grounds. On Tuesday, the Israeli parliament approved the extension of the law for two years after it was introduced during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza to essentially stop Al Jazeera’s operations in Israel. Separately, the government is also moving to shut down the popular Army Radio network, one of two publicly funded Israeli news outlets. The radio station is often criticised by the Israeli right wing, which views Army Radio as being biased against it. Israelis are still reliant on receiving their news from traditional outlets with about half relying on broadcast news for information on current affairs and about a third similarly relying upon radio stations. The tone of the media that is allowed to publish and broadcast is important. According to analysts inside Israel, the selective broadcasting of Palestinian suffering during Israel’s war on Gaza has helped sustain the carnage and reinforced a sense of grievance that allows for Israel’s continued assaults on Gaza as well as regional countries, such as Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. Despite what observers characterise as a media environment firmly rigged in its favour, the far-right government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which contains ministers convicted of “terrorism” offences and others who have repeatedly called for the illegal annexation of the occupied West Bank, is looking nevertheless to bypass legal checks on its control of the media and bring more of Israel’s information feed under its control.
Let’s take a closer look.
Why is the Israeli government clamping down on the media?
Because the government believes it is too critical.
Israeli politicians have long complained about how the war in Gaza has been covered in both the international and domestic media. But the government added a new accusation in November, partly blaming the media for the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. “If there hadn’t been a media entirely mobilised to encourage refusal [to volunteer to reserve duty] and reckless opposition to the judicial reform, there wouldn’t have been such a rift in the nation that led the enemy to seize the opportunity,” Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi said as he introduced a bill to increase government control of the news environment, referring to attempts by the Israeli government to reduce the independence of the judiciary.
How exactly is the government cracking down on the media?
In addition to the ‘Al Jazeera Law’, there are three items of legislation under way: a plan to privatise Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, the move to abolish Army Radio, and an initiative to bring the media regulator under government control. Both Army Radio and Kan, the other state-funded outlet with editorial independence, have carried numerous reports critical of the government. This week, Kan aired an interview with Netanyahu’s former spokesperson Eli Feldstein, who told the broadcaster that the prime minister had instructed him to develop a strategy to help evade responsibility for the October 7 attacks. Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, justifying the move to shut down Army Radio, said on Monday that the outlet had become a platform to attack the Israeli military and its soldiers. Israel is also potentially changing the way it regulates its media. In November, the Israeli parliament pressed ahead with a bill that would abolish existing media regulators and replace them with a new authority appointed by the government, potentially allowing for even greater state interference. Lastly, Israel has also codified into law the emergency legislation banning foreign media outlets whose output it disagrees with. It was first enacted as emergency legislation in May 2024 when Israel used it to ban Al Jazeera from its territory, and it was then used in the same month to halt the activity of The Associated Press after the government accused the United States-based news agency of sharing footage with Al Jazeera. Under the new law, the communications minister – with the prime minister’s sign-off and the backing of a ministerial committee – may halt a foreign broadcaster’s transmissions if the prime minister accepts a professional assessment that the outlet poses a security threat. The minister can also shut the broadcaster’s offices, confiscate equipment used to produce its content and block access to its website.
Have the moves been criticised?
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the United Kingdom’s National Union of Journalists have criticised Israel’s decision to legislate against foreign media platforms it deems a security threat. In a statement, IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said: “Israel is openly waging a battle against media outlets, both local and foreign, that criticise the government’s narrative: that is typical behavior of authoritarian regimes. We are deeply concerned about the Israeli parliament passing this controversial bill, as it would be a serious blow to free speech and media freedom, and a direct attack on the public’s right to know.” The attempt to shutter Army Radio has also been heavily criticised with Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara declaring the move unlawful and accusing Netanyahu’s coalition of making public broadcasting “weakened, threatened and institutionally silenced and its future shrouded in mist”. Baharav-Miara has also criticised the move to place media regulation under government control, saying the bill “endangers the very principle of press freedom”.
How balanced is the Israeli media?
Not very.
The Israeli media have overwhelmingly been a consistent cheerleader of the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza, where more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel, and in the occupied West Bank. The suffering of Palestinians is rarely shown, and when it is, it is often justified. Even as Israel has killed more than 270 journalists and media workers in Gaza, the Israeli media have provided cover for the actions of its government and military. That means Israelis often don’t recogise the hypocrisy of their government’s statements. An example came in June after Iran struck an evacuated hospital during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran. The Israeli government called the incident a war crime, and the Israeli media reflected that outrage. But the attack came after Israel had been accused by a variety of organisations, including the United Nations, of systematically destroying Gaza’s healthcare system with medical workers targeted for arrest and frequently tortured despite their protection under international law. “The Israeli media … sees its job as not to educate – it’s to shape and mould a public that is ready to support war and aggression,” journalist Orly Noy told Al Jazeera from West Jerusalem in the wake of the strike on the Israeli medical centre. “It genuinely sees itself as having a special role in this.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/is-israels-government-waging-war-on-al-jazeera-and-the-media

{Israeli Knesset Approves Extension of Law Allowing Closure of Foreign Media
“Today it’s Al-Jazeera, tomorrow the BBC and the day after tomorrow Haaretz.”
Israeli Knesset Approves Extension of Law Allowing Closure of Foreign Media
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- The Israeli Knesset on Tuesday approved in its second and third readings the extension of a law that allows the Communications Minister to decide to close foreign channels and confiscate their equipment at any time in Israel, without a court order, regardless of being in a state of emergency. The law is known as the Al Jazeera Law for two years, under which the Al Jazeera network’s office was closed and its work in Jerusalem and Israel onn May 5, 2024 over its Gaza genocide covergae. The bill replaces temporary emergency legislation that was in effect during the recent Israeli genocide in Gaza, dubbed the Al Jazeera Law because it was passed primarily to authorize the shutdown of the Qatar-based network in Israel and Jerusalem and Israel on May 5, 2024. Now, with the fragile ceasefire that took effect on aocotber 10, the temporary legislation has expired, necessitating a permanent law to replace it. Unlike the temporary measure, the new law does not require court approval to shut down a media outlet. Accoring to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the bill cleared a committee vote in a softened version. The legislation was approved in the Knesset by a majority of 22 to 10. Under the law, if the prime minister is convinced, based on a professional opinion, that a foreign broadcaster threatens state security, the communications minister may – with the prime minister's consent and approval from a ministerial committee or the government – order the suspension of the outlet's broadcasts, the closure of its offices, the seizure of equipment used to provide its content, and the blocking of its website. In addition, the defense minister may be instructed to take technological measures to prevent reception of the broadcasts via satellite, including in the occupied West Bank, provided this does not block other channels. Under the law, the police will be added to the security bodies asked to provide opinions on shuttering broadcasts that had previously been regulated under the expired temporary order. During hearings last week in the National Security Committee ahead of the plenum vote, Deputy Attorney General Avital Sompolinsky said the Justice Ministry had received a request from the communications minister to consider transitioning from emergency to permanent legislation. Accoring to Asef Hamidi, the director of news at Al Jazeera Channel, the Israeli occupation authorities have relentlessly targeted Al Jazeera and its journalists, because “we remain the only international media network reporting from Gaza and the occupied territories.” “The network’s crime seems to have been shining a light on the devastating impact of Israel’s war on Gaza, and the continuous raids and incursions in the occupied West Bank.” This law has been widely criticized by media freedom organisations. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) called the decsions “Israel’s latest attempt to curtail free speech and media freedom.” IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said: “Israel is openly waging a battle against media outlets, both local and foreign, that criticize the government's narrative: that is typical behavior of authoritarian regimes. We are deeply concerned about the Israeli parliament passing this controversial bill, as it would be a serious blow to free speech and media freedom, and a direct attack on the public’s right to know.” “Today it’s Al-Jazeera, tomorrow the BBC and the day after tomorrow Haaretz,” reads an editorial by Haaretz published on 12 November.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66932&slug=israeli-knesset-approves-extension-of-law-allowing-closure-of-foreign-media


Greta Thunberg-Handout Defend Our Juries
Al Jazeera - Dec 23, 2025
{British police detain Greta Thunberg at pro-Palestinian protest in London
Police arrest three people outside insurer of Israeli arms maker Elbit, including Thunberg for holding placard. British police have arrested Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and two other people at a pro-Palestine protest in central London, according to campaign group Defend Our Juries. The group said Thunberg was arrested on Tuesday at the Prisoners for Palestine protest held in the heart of London’s Square Mile financial district outside the offices of Aspen Insurance, which provides coverage for Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems. The group said Thunberg had arrived after the protest began, and it shared video footage of the activist holding a sign reading, “I support the Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide.” Thunberg has called Israel’s war in Gaza a genocide and has twice joined flotilla campaigns to try to break Israel’s siege of Gaza. The City of London Police, which polices the financial district, confirmed that a 22-year-old woman, a description corresponding to Thunberg, was arrested for displaying a placard “in support of a proscribed organisation (in this case Palestine Action) contrary to Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000”. This is the latest protest in solidarity with activists from the Palestine Action group, six of whom are currently on hunger strike in British prisons with two now hospitalised. The direct action group has been proscribed as a “terrorist organisation” by the United Kingdom’s government. Defend Our Juries said Tuesday’s protest was held to draw attention to Aspen Insurance’s “complicity in genocide” and to express solidarity with prisoners affiliated with Palestine Action. Two others, a man and a woman, were also arrested at the protest although they had “glued themselves nearby”, according to the City of London Police, which described damage with “hammers and red paint” to “a building on Fenchurch Street”, where the offices of Aspen Insurance are located. Defend Our Juries confirmed the damage, saying in a news release that two activists “covered the front of the building with symbolic blood-red paint, using re-purposed fire extinguishers” before attaching themselves to the front of the building in the aim of “drawing attention to Aspen’s complicity in Genocide, disrupting their business, and closing down the building”. The group said Aspen Insurance, a global insurer and reinsurer, was targeted because of its affiliation with Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, which is Israel’s largest arms producer. It describes its drones as “the backbone” of the Israeli military. Palestine Action protesters had targeted one of the UK subsidiary’s operations in Bristol last year. Among their five key demands, the group’s hunger strikers want the manufacturer, which has several UK factories, to be shut down. Defend Our Juries said in its news release that Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Minister David Lammy has “refused to speak to legal representatives of the hunger-strikers, or their families”. A few days earlier, Thunberg had voiced solidarity with the hunger strikers on Instagram, saying: “It is up to the state to intervene, and put an end to this by meeting these reasonable demands that pave the way for the freedom of all those who choose to use their rights trying to stop a genocide, something the British state has failed to do themselves.” A Palestine Action spokesperson said in relation to her arrest that it was not clear whether police had “made another one of their mistakes in interpreting the crazy ban on Palestine Action” or whether they had “turned anyone expressing support for prisoners locked up beyond the legal time limit for taking action to stop a genocide into alleged terrorists”.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/british-police-detain-greta-thunberg-at-pro-palestinian-protest-in

{Palestine Action hunger strikers launch legal action against UK government
Lawyers of the group threaten court proceedings as top ministers refuse to meet them to discuss the protesters’ welfare.
London, United Kingdom – Lawyers of imprisoned hunger-striking activists linked to the protest group Palestine Action have put the British government on notice as the justice secretary refuses to meet them. Imran Khan & Partners, which represents the collective, wrote a pre-claim letter to the government on Monday, warning that they would seek a High Court case should officials fail to respond by Tuesday afternoon. Eight activists, aged between 20 and 31, have participated in a rolling strike that began on November 2. There are rising fears that one or more of them could soon die in jail. In recent days, their relatives and loved ones have told Al Jazeera of their deteriorating health and repeated hospital admissions. Their lawyers have long called for a meeting with Justice Secretary David Lammy to discuss welfare and prison conditions, believing such an intervention could be life-saving. But the government has so far refused, saying hunger strikes are not an unusual phenomenon in prisons and that policies to provide adequate medical care to anyone refusing food are being followed. “Our clients’ food refusal constitutes the largest co-ordinated hunger strike in British history since 1981,” the lawyers wrote, referring to the Irish Republican inmates led by Bobby Sands. Sands and nine others died of starvation, one on day 46 of the protest. “As of today’s date, [the current] strike has lasted up to 51 days, nearly two months, and poses a significant risk to their life with each passing day,” the lawyers wrote. The detainees are being held in 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 Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Teuta Hoxha and Kamran Ahmed are on day 52, 51, 45 and 44 of their protests, respectively. Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic and refuses food every other day, began his protest 30 days ago. Qesser Zuhrah, Jon Cink and Umer Khalid have ended their strike. All eight will have spent more than a year in prison before their trials take place, well beyond the UK’s usual six-month pre-trial detention limit. The hunger strikers’ five 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 alleged censorship in prison, accusing authorities of withholding mail, calls and books. They are also urging that all Elbit sites be closed.
‘Engage with each one’
Leading human rights barrister Michael Mansfield has backed calls for the government to intervene. “It’s a simple proposition, engage with each one,” he told Al Jazeera. “That’s your job [as government], that’s what you’re there for. You are safeguarding people’s health, welfare and life.” In a letter addressed to Lammy, he wrote, “Fundamental human rights in the United Kingdom are being destroyed in this quagmire of disinterest and populist politics, the most important being the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial by means of preparation and due process. “There has to be an equality of arms which can hardly be achieved when a defendant is held in oppressive and lengthy periods of remand.” Families of the prisoners have alleged mistreatment in prison, saying some detainees have been verbally abused and left without care in dangerous health conditions. The Ministry of Justice has denied these accusations and says it cannot comment on individual cases. “Government takes action when it chooses to,” Mansfield wrote. “There could be no more appropriate time than now with the life-endangering protest by the hunger strikers. The delay is grotesque in some cases, up to two years with trial dates being set in 2027.” Nida Jafri, a friend of hunger striker Amu Gib, plans to deliver Mansfield’s letter – and one of her own – in hand to the Ministry of Justice on Tuesday. “These people are on remand – not convicted, still awaiting full legal process,” reads Jafri’s letter. “They are weak, in pain, and visibly wasting away. The absence of adequate medical observation or humane treatment under prison or hospital care is not only unacceptable; it breaches fundamental rights to health, dignity, and life.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/23/palestine-action-hunger-strikers-launch-legal-action-against-government

{‘Serious and Systematic Violations’: How Many Times Has Israel Breached Ceasefire Agreements in Gaza?
At least 411 Palestinians have been killed and 1,112 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began.
‘Serious and Systematic Violations’: How Many Times Has Israel Breached Ceasefire Agreements in Gaza?
Gaza (QNN)- Gaza’s Government Media Office on Monday condemned Israel’s “serious and systematic violations” of the ceasefire agreement, noting that Israel had breached the truce 875 times since it came into force on October 10.
Attacks and Killings
The Office said Israel shot at civilians 265 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 49 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 421 times, and demolished people’s properties on 150 occasions. It added that Israel had also abducted 45 Palestinians from Gaza over the past two months. At least 411 Palestinians have been killed and 1,112 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began, it added.
Humanitarian Aid
Israel has also continued to block essential humanitarian aid from entering the enclave despite the ceasefire stipulated that “full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip”.  From October 10 to December 22, only 9,379 trucks have reached their intended destinations inside Gaza, according to the UN2720 Monitoring and Tracking Dashboard, which monitors humanitarian aid in Gaza. According to the Gaza Government Media Office, over a 73-day period 17,819 trucks entered Gaza out of 43,800, averaging 244 trucks per day. That is only 41 percent of the trucks allocated. In addition, Israel has blocked essential and nutritious food items, including meat, dairy, and vegetables, crucial for a balanced diet. Instead, non-nutritious foodstuffs are being allowed, such as snacks, chocolate, crisps, and soft drinks.
Shelters
The Office has warned of a rapidly deepening and unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, as Israel continues to close border crossings and block the entry of tents, mobile homes, caravans, and other essential shelter materials, “in clear violation of existing agreements and international humanitarian law.” The Office pointed to recent storms which have caused the collapse of 46 homes and buildings that had previously been damaged by Israeli bombardment, killing 15 civilians. Two children have also died from extreme cold inside tents. Meanwhile, more than 125,000 tents are no longer usable, leaving over 1.5 million displaced people without even the most basic level of protection.
What Hamas Says?
Last week, senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad warned that Israel’s “blatant and outrageous violations” threaten the ceasefire agreement.
 Hamad, who is also a member of Hamas’s negotiating team, said Israel manipulated the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Mediators confirmed that Hamas did not commit a single violation of the agreement and fully adhered to it, he noted. “The occupation army’s repeated violations are clear evidence that they are planned by the government.” According to Hamad, the violations include killings, executions, gunfire against civilians, shelling, targeted attacks, and assassinations inside the Gaza Strip. They have also involved crossing the yellow line. In addition, Israel has prevented the entry of aid under the pretext that it was used for other purposes. Israel is still concealing information regarding prisoners and missing people, he noted. Hamad said that Israel violates the ceasefire 25 times a day. Since the ceasefire took effect, Israel has killed about 400 Palestinians, more than 95% of them were civilians. “Israel killed civilians, particularly women and children, on purpose," and “wiped out entire families,” he said. The official confirmed that the group provided the names of those killed by Israel during the ceasefire “in order to prove that the vast majority of them were civilians. We did, in fact, submit their names and ages, which clearly demonstrated that the killings were deliberately targeting civilians.” Among them 36% were children, 15% women, 4% elderly, and 37% civilian men, “confirming that civilians were targeted despite the ceasefire.” Recently, the group’s Gaza chief, Khalil al-Hayya, confirmed that Israel’s violations risk jeopardising the ceasefire deal in Gaza and the move towards the second and more complicated phase of the fragile agreement. He called on mediators – US President Donald Trump in particular – “to work on obliging Israel to respect the ceasefire and commit to it”.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66931&slug=serious-and-systematic-violations-how-many-times-has-israel-breached-ceasefire-agreements-in-gaza


doctor Rahmeh Aladwan
Quds news - Dec 23, 2025
{NHS Doctor Suspended Over Pro-Palestine Social Media Posts Arrested for Third Time
During her arrest, Aladwan said, “This is for Israel. They slaughtered, decapitated, shredded, burned alive our children 
London (QNN)- British-Palestinian NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan, who has been suspended for 15 months pending an investigation over pro-Palestine social media posts, was arrested for the third time on Monday and released hours later over posts on X. “I was arrested this morning for the third time for X posts. I have just been released. I can't say more at the moment,” she wrote on Monday. The doctor was previously arrested on December 4  and released on condition “not to publish, post or communicate directly or indirectly any materials or statement that may incite hatred, discrimination or harassment against individuals based on race, religion, ethnicity or similar characteristics."  The police claimed that she posted materials online that “breached these conditions." During her arrest, Aladwan said, “This is for Israel. They slaughtered, decapitated, shredded, burned alive our children  In November, she was allegedly accused of antisemitism and suspended for 15 months pending an investigation as the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) in the UK ruled. The General Medical Council (GMC) is investigating Dr. Aladwan over posts and comments made across various social media platforms after several complaints, including from the Jewish Medical Association UK and the Campaign Against Antisemitism. The GMC counsel Emma Gilsenan told the MPTS hearing that Aladwan’s posts included content that allegedly “justifies terrorism, denies sexual violence, includes antisemitic conspiracy theories, misuses Holocaust and Nazi imagery and expresses support for proscribed groups and terrorist acts”. She added that Aladwan, a British-Palestinian trainee in trauma and orthopaedics, had allegedly referred to the Royal Free hospital in London as a “Jewish supremacy cesspit”, doxed NHS colleagues for raising concerns about her, and expressed explicit support for Hamas and Palestine Action. Aladwan’s lawyer, Kevin Saunders, submitted that the posts “fell into the category of legitimate political speech and debate” and that she denied making racist or hate speech. He added that there was “no information to suggest that Dr Aladwan presents a real and immediate risk to patient safety”.
In September, the MPTS ruled that it would not impose interim conditions on Aladwan’s registration, saying it did not believe the complaints against her were “sufficient to establish that there may be a real risk to patients”. However, the tribunal’s chair, Lee Davies, said that “many complaints” had been received “from individual members of the public and various organisations”. The interim suspension of 15 months on Aladwan, 31, took effect from November 26 and will be reviewed within six months. Responding to the tribunal's ruling on X, Dr. Aladwan said: "Let this decision stand as the definitive proof that there is no independent British medical regulation. The 'Israeli' and Jewish lobby decide who can and cannot practise medicine in Britain." She added: "This is not an end. It is the beginning of a far greater battle for the integrity of our institutions."} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66930&slug=nhs-doctor-suspended-over-pro-palestine-social-media-posts-arrested-for-third-time

{Pro-Israel Group Labels Tucker Carlson ‘Antisemite of the Year’ for Criticizing Israel’s Genocide in Gaza
Tucker Carlson is one of the most significant figures within the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement who have already rebelled over Trump’s unflinching support for Israel over the genocide in Gaza.
Washington (QNN)- A US pro-Israel advocacy group has named political commentator Tucker Carlson as its “Antisemite of the Year” for his opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. On Sunday, StopAntisemitism announced the designation and accused Carlson of “normalizing antisemitism” and “giving a platform to dangerous ideas, allowing guests to spread falsehoods and antisemitic narratives.” “He is obsessed with Israel, and repeats blatant lies about the Jewish state and its people” and “need to be shunned”, the group claimed. Carlson is one of the most significant figures within the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement who have already rebelled over Trump’s unflinching support for Israel over the genocide in Gaza. In June, Carlson wrote: “The real divide isn’t between people who support Israel and people who support Iran or the Palestinians. The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence, and those who seek to prevent it — between warmongers and peacemakers.” Carlson, whose online platform reaches millions, has singled out the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), calling its influence "an ongoing humiliation ritual" for American lawmakers and the country, and has warned that the US is complicit in Israel’s genocide. He has also accused ICC-wanted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of openly boasting about his leverage over US leaders. “[Netanyahu] is running around, this is a fact..., the Middle East, his region and his own country and telling people point blank, just stating it, ‘I control the United States. I control Donald Trump,’” Carlson said in September during an interview with journalist Glenn Greenwald. Carlson has further criticized Christian Zionism, describing it as a major force shaping unconditional US backing for Israel. “The single biggest threat to Christianity in this country [US] is Christian Zionism,” he said, accusing its adherents of treating Israel’s founding and military dominance as a biblical mandate. “They’re not Christians; they’re heretics,” he added. StopAntisemitism executive director, Liora Reznichenko, has been explicit about its strategy against Israel's critics. Speaking at a Jerusalem Post conference on Capitol Hill in December, she argued that punishing critics of Israel is an effective way to combat antisemitism. “The results speak for themselves,” she said. “We will shine a light on you that, thanks to Google and SEO, will follow you for the rest of your life.” “When you look for a job, when you look for a spouse, when you look for a nanny, when you look for anything, our work will always be documented,” she added. Reznichenko has claimed responsibility for at least 400 people losing their jobs as a result of the group’s online campaigns, which have targeted academics, activists and media figures.
Among those that Reznichenko has gone after is children’s educator Rachel Griffin Accurso, known to millions as Ms Rachel. The group accused her of antisemitism after she shared content highlighting the suffering of Palestinian children under Israel’s genocide and blockade in Gaza. In contrast, Glamour magazine named Accurso one of its 2025 “Women of the Year” for her work in early childhood education and advocacy for children affected by war worldwide.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66929&slug=pro-israel-group-labels-tucker-carlson-antisemite-of-the-year-for-criticizing-israels-genocide-in-gaza


Silwan Building Demolition

{Jerusalem: Israeli Forces Displace 100 Palestinians in Silwan Building Demolition
Israeli forces stormed Silwan at dawn, unleashed police dogs on sleeping families, and demolished a residential building that housed around 100 Palestinians, leaving entire families homeless in occupied Jerusalem.
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli police, settlers, and army forces stormed Wadi Qaddum neighborhood in Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque, before dawn on Monday. They arrived in large numbers and brought police dogs. The target was the residential building known as Al-Waad. At 4:00 a.m., forces released police dogs inside the building while residents slept. They ordered families in all 12 apartments to leave immediately. Officers announced an on-the-spot demolition. Over 100 people, nearly half of them are children, became homeless and had no time to remove belongings. During the demolition, heavily armed forces, joined by settlers, assaulted residents and starting throwing away their belongings. Jerusalem Governorate described the operation as a crime aimed at forcing Palestinians out of the city. The raids came amid a broader escalation across occupied Jerusalem. Earlier on Monday, Israeli forces demolished agricultural facilities in the Al-Marj area of Anata, northeast of the occupied capital city. Army units entered the neighborhood with bulldozers and began the destruction.
In Bab al-Amoud, Israeli forces demolished a commercial facility after storming the area. The move followed months of intensified crackdowns on shops and street stalls at the historic gate. Hamas leader Abdul Rahman Shadid said the demolition in Wadi Qaddum ranks among the largest collective displacement operations in occupied Jerusalem. He described it as a war crime and a crime against humanity. He warned against continued international silence and held the international community and the United Nations responsible for failing to stop Israel’s actions. He called for urgent measures to halt demolitions and hold Israeli leaders accountable. Jerusalem Governorate said municipal workers beat residents while forces fired sound grenades at crowds. In a statement, the governorate said the demolition of Al-Waad building forms part of a systematic policy of forced displacement. The aim, it said, is to empty Jerusalem of its Palestinian population and impose new demographic facts by force. The governorate noted that the building served as the only shelter for the affected families. Authorities used repeated claims of “lack of permits” despite deliberate and restrictive policies that block Palestinians from obtaining building licenses. According to the governorate, Israeli authorities carried out about 370 demolition and bulldozing operations across occupied Jerusalem since the start of the year. The policy, it said, seeks to clear land for ongoing and planned settlement projects. In a related move, Israeli forces issued stop-work orders for four homes in Al-Asakira village, east of Bethlehem.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66928&slug=jerusalem-israeli-forces-displace-100-palestinians-in-silwan-building-demolition

{Israel kills two Palestinians in Gaza City as ceasefire violations mount
Deadly attack comes as Gaza government media office says Israel violated ceasefire 875 times since it began in October. Israeli forces have killed at least two Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as Israel continues to violate a ceasefire agreement and block desperately needed humanitarian aid to the war-ravaged coastal enclave. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Monday that two people were killed after Israeli troops opened fire in the Shujayea neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City. Their deaths bring the total number of Palestinians reported killed in Gaza over the past 24 hours to at least 12, including eight whose bodies were recovered from the rubble in the territory. The Gaza City attack is the latest in hundreds of Israeli violations of a United States-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which came into effect on October 10. Gaza’s Government Media Office on Monday condemned Israel’s “serious and systematic violations” of the truce, noting that the Israeli authorities had breached the ceasefire 875 times since it came into force. That includes continued Israeli air and artillery attacks, unlawful demolitions of Palestinian homes and other civilian infrastructure, and at least 265 incidents of Israeli troops shooting Palestinian civilians, the office said in a statement. At least 411 Palestinians have been killed and 1,112 others wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the ceasefire began, it added.
Worsening shelter conditions
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian families displaced by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continue to grapple with a lack of humanitarian supplies, including adequate food, medicine and shelter. As the occupying power in Gaza, Israel has an obligation under international law to provide for the needs of Palestinians there. But the United Nations and other humanitarian groups say it has systematically failed to allow unimpeded deliveries of aid into Gaza. The situation has been worsened by a series of winter storms that have pummelled the Strip in recent weeks, with rights groups saying Israel’s refusal to allow tents, blankets and other supplies into Gaza is part of its genocidal policy and threatening Palestinian lives. On Monday, the Gaza Government Media Office said that only 17,819 trucks entered the territory out of the 43,800 that were supposed to be allowed in since the ceasefire came into effect in October. That amounts to an average of just 244 trucks per day – far below the 600 trucks that Israel agreed to allow into Gaza daily under the ceasefire agreement, the office said. On Monday, a spokesperson for UN chief Antonio Guterres reiterated the call “for the lifting of all restrictions of the entry of aid into Gaza, including shelter material”. “Over the past 24 hours, and despite the ceasefire, we have continued to receive reports of air strikes, shelling and gunfire in all five governorates of Gaza. This has resulted in reported casualties and disruptions to humanitarian operations,” Stephane Dujarric said. He said that the UN’s humanitarian partners are working to address the significant shelter needs, particularly for displaced families living in unsafe conditions. “Our partners continue to work to improve access to dignified shelter for approximately 1.3 million people in Gaza in the past week, about 3,500 families affected by storms are living in flood prone areas,” he said. Dujarric said that aid deliveries have included tents, bedding sets, mattresses and blankets, as well as winter clothing for children, but the needs remain overwhelming.

Flooding hits displaced Palestinians’ tents after heavy rain in Gaza
The appeals come a day after the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said that a lack of drugs and other healthcare supplies was making it difficult to provide care to patients. Nearly all of Gaza’s hospitals and healthcare facilities were attacked during Israel’s two-year bombardment of the territory, damaging at least 125 facilities, including 34 hospitals. The Israeli army has killed at least 70,937 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and children, and injured 171,192 others since its genocidal war began in October 2023.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/22/israel-kills-two-palestinians-in-gaza-city-as-ceasefire-violations-mount
