{Gaza Authorities Welcome Transition to Ceasefire Phase Two, Express Full Readiness
Hamas also welcomed the establishment of the technocratic committee on Friday, calling it “a step in the right direction” and signalling it was ready to hand over administration of Gaza.
Gaza Authorities Welcome Transition to Ceasefire Phase Two, Express Full Readiness
Gaza (QNN)- The Gaza Government Media Office welcomed the US announcement of the transition to phase two of Trump’s ceasefire plan, affirming its full readiness to transfer authorities and complete handover procedures, even as Israel publicly objected to the plan. The US announced this week the setting up of the “Gaza executive board”, which will operate under a broader “board of peace” to be chaired by Donald Trump as part of his 20-point plan to end the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The White House said Trump’s plan would include three bodies: the board of peace, chaired by Trump; a Palestinian committee of technocrats tasked with governing Gaza; and the Gaza executive board, which would play an advisory role. The general commissioner of the National Committee for Gaza Management (NGAC), Ali Shaath, said that the technocratic body would seek to restore core services and cultivate a society “rooted in peace”. Following the announcement of the transition to the second phase, “we welcome the Palestinian National Committee for Gaza Management as an important step toward addressing the administrative and service challenges facing the Strip,” the Office said in a statement on Monday. “This step aligns with the priority of bringing the ongoing aggression against our Palestinian people to a complete halt, ensuring the protection of civilians, and easing the severe humanitarian suffering endured by our people.” “We affirm our full readiness to transfer the relevant authorities and our complete preparedness to carry out all handover and takeover procedures in a manner that ensures a smooth, orderly institutional transition.” “This process will safeguard the rights of citizens and public-sector employees and guarantee the uninterrupted continuation of essential services.” “We stress that governmental and service operations will continue without disruption, and that relevant institutions and departments remain fully engaged in providing basic services to our Palestinian people despite the exceptional circumstances, taking into account available resources and the magnitude of the challenges at hand.” “We further confirm that employees across all sectors stand fully ready to cooperate with the NGAC in a way that serves the public interest, improves the quality of services provided to citizens, and reinforces administrative and institutional stability.” “We stress the unity of Palestinian land and the political unity of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and reject any arrangements that would entrench division or undermine the Palestinian national will. Strengthening national unity, achieving internal cohesion, and addressing current challenges with responsibility remain a top national priority at this critical stage.” Hamas also welcomed the establishment of the technocratic committee on Friday, calling it “a step in the right direction” and signalling it was ready to hand over administration of Gaza. ICC-wanted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the plan and said the transition to phase two was largely symbolic. “The announcement... was not coordinated with Israel and runs counter to its policy. The Prime Minister instructed the Foreign Minister to raise this matter with the U.S. Secretary of State," Netanyahu said.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67099&slug=gaza-authorities-welcome-transition-to-ceasefire-phase-two-express-full-readiness


Al-Shaair
Quds news - Jan 19, 2026
{NFL Fines Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair $11K for 'Stop the Genocide' Message in Eye Black
Al-Shaair, 28, has long been a vocal pro-Palestinian advocate. In December 2023, as a member of the Tennessee Titans, Al-Shaair chose to support the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund through the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” program.
NFL Fines Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair $11K for 'Stop the Genocide' Message in Eye Black
Houston (QNN)- The NFL fined Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair for wearing eye black that read the message "stop the genocide" during last week's wild card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The league levied the $11,593 fine for a violation of the NFL uniform and equipment rules, citing the display of a personal message despite the ongoing Israeli genocidal war in Gaza. Al-Shaair's message was in reference to Israel's assault on Gaza where Israel has killed more than 71,000 Palestinians since October 2023, used starvation as a weapon of war, destroyed more than 80 percent of structures and erased entire neighborhoods. The Texans selected Al-Shaair earlier this season as their club winner for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which is given annually to a player who demonstrates excellence on the field and a significant commitment to philanthropy and community service off the field. Al-Shaair earned his first Pro Bowl selection this season after racking up 103 tackles, nine passes defended, a forced fumble and a career-high two interceptions. The second-year Texan is a former undrafted free agent who has blossomed into one of the NFL's most outstanding linebackers across stints with the San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans and Texans. Personal messages are prohibited unless approved ahead of time by the league office. The NFL does not grant permission for players to convey messages pertaining to "political activities or causes, other non-football events, causes or campaigns, or charitable causes or campaigns," according to Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 of the league rulebook. The first offense constitutes an $11,593 fine. The second offense carries a $17,389 penalty. All NFL fines are collected and donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation and NFL Foundation. In spite of the fine, Al-Shaair could be seen wearing the same message in his eye black before Houston’s AFC divisional playoff game at the New England Patriots on Sunday. Later during the game, he was observed with the message removed. Al-Shaair, 28, has long been a vocal pro-Palestinian advocate. In December 2023, as a member of the Tennessee Titans, Al-Shaair chose to support the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund through the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” program. "If my platform can bring even a little hope to families in Palestine, then that is what I want to use it for," Al-Shaair said earlier this season. He said in 2024 that “to consistently say that because of [October 7] innocent people [in Gaza] should now die, it’s crazy.” Al-Shaair was one of two active NFL players who signed onto the “Athletes for Ceasefire” letter, which called on former US president Joe Biden to call for a ceasefire in February 2024.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67097&slug=nfl-fines-texans-lb-azeez-al-shaair-11k-for-stop-the-genocide-message-in-eye-black

{Israel launches ‘large-scale’ military raid in occupied West Bank’s Hebron
Hundreds of soldiers backed by armoured vehicles raid the Palestinian city, imposing a lockdown and installing new iron gates. The Israeli military has launched a “large-scale” operation in Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank, deploying hundreds of soldiers and heavy machinery in a move that has paralysed the city’s southern districts. In a joint statement issued on Monday, the Israeli army and the internal security service, Shin Bet, confirmed the offensive, stating it aims to “thwart terror infrastructure” and confiscate weapons in the Jebel Johar area. The army warned the operation would continue for “several days”. ‘Defensive Shield’ tactics
Reporting from the scene, Al Jazeera Arabic’s correspondent Montaser Nassar described a state of total lockdown. “We are in the so-called southern region of Hebron, which has been under a curfew since dawn,” Nassar said. “There is an intensive deployment of occupation forces … including bulldozers and tracked armoured vehicles.” “We witnessed tracked armoured vehicles … the last time we saw these in Hebron was during the second Intifada during [Israeli] Operation Defensive Shield,” he said, noting the significance of the heavy equipment.
‘Dividing the divided’
While the army cited “counterterrorism goals”, Nassar observed soldiers installing new metal barriers, warning of a long-term tightening of control. “They brought in iron gates a short while ago, and this is the dangerous part,” Nassar said. “It seems that what is happening on the ground is a prelude to dividing the already divided.” Video footage verified by local sources showed Israeli forces closing the Tariq bin Ziyad roundabout with cement blocks and earth mounds. Palestinian news agency Wafa reported at least seven arrests.
Mosque under pressure
Nassar pointed out that the raid is taking place less than half a kilometre from the Ibrahimi Mosque, following recent Israeli moves to strip Palestinian authority “This comes after a decision to ban the director of the Ibrahimi Mosque … for 15 days,” Nassar explained, noting that management of the site is being transferred to the Israeli Civil Administration. Since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, more than 1,080 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, about 11,000 injured, and some 20,500 arrested, according to official Palestinian sources.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/19/israel-launches-large-scale-military-raid-in-occupied-west-banks-hebron

{“Encourage Immigration and Settlement”: Israeli Ministers Reject US-Backed Gaza Plan
According to Smotrich, himself a settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the Israeli PM should instead “establish a military government there, to encourage immigration and settlement, and in this way to ensure Israel’s security for many years”.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli ministers and ICC-wanted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have rejected the US-backed Gaza plan for so-called post-genocide governance, instead calling for the annexation of the Palestinian enclave and the establishment of illegal settlements. After the announcement of the White House’s pick of world leaders who will join the so-called Gaza “Board of Peace”, which includes representatives of Turkey and Qatar, Israeli far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, described Netanyahu’s “unwillingness to take responsibility for Gaza” as “the original sin”. According to Smotrich, himself a settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the Israeli PM should instead “establish a military government there, to encourage immigration and settlement, and in this way to ensure Israel’s security for many years”. The White House announced this week the setting up of the “Gaza executive board”, which will operate under a broader “Board of Peace” to be chaired by Donald Trump as part of his 20-point plan to end the Israeli genocide against Palestinians. The executive board includes the Turkish foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, and a Qatari diplomat, Ali al-Thawadi, alongside other regional and international officials. Presumably referring to Qatar and Turkey, Smotrich said on X: “The countries that inspired Hamas cannot be the ones that replace it. Those who support it and continue to host it even now will not be granted a foothold in Gaza. Period.” “The prime minister must stand firm on this, even if it requires managing a dispute with our great friend and President Trump’s emissaries.” Itamar Ben-Gvir, the National Security Minister, also called on to retrun to the genocide in Gaza and the “encouragement of large-scale voluntary emigration, in accordance with President Trump’s original plan.” ICC-wanted Netanyahu himself objected to the plan on Saturday, claiming how some of the appointments were “not coordinated with Israel and were contrary to its policy”. He told his foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, to contact the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio. In addition to naming Turkey’s foreign minister to the executive board, Trump has invited the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to join the overarching board of peace, along with Egypt’s president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, the former UK prime minister Tony Blair and the president of Argentina, Javier Milei. Pakistan’s prime minister Shehbaz Sharif has also received an invitation to join, Pakistan said on Sunday. The US said this week that the Gaza ceasefire agreement had entered a second phase, a move which Netnyau said was largely symbolic. Despite the ceasefire and the transition to phase two, Israel has continued to violate the agreement, killing hundreds of civilians and blocking much-needed aid At least 451 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since the ceasefire took effect in October last year. Israeli airstrikes and gunfire have not ceased. At the same time, recent storms have compounded the crisis, causing deaths and flooding in displacement camps.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67096&slug=encourage-immigration-and-settlement-israeli-ministers-reject-us-backed-gaza-plan

The attack comes just days after the US announced the transition to phase two of Trump’s 20-point plan and as Hamas has welcomed the establishment of a 15-member technocratic committee of Palestinians that would operate under the overall supervision of the so-called “Board of Peace” to be chaired by Donald Trump.

Palestinian Ambassador to Iran Salam Al-Zawawi was hospitalized after a mob of protesters stormed her residence in Tehran during violent unrest, forcing her and embassy staff to take shelter until Iranian security forces intervened.
Tehran (QNN)- Palestinian Ambassador to Iran Salam Al-Zawawi was taken to hospital after a violent attack on her official residence in the Iranian capital, Tehran, during recent unrest in the city. Iranian local media said the assault took place on Thursday, January 8, amid intense and violent protests across several areas of Tehran. According to Maan, around 200 protesters stormed the residence of the Palestinian ambassador, causing severe damage to the building. The attackers reportedly used incendiary devices and shouted threats as they forced their way into the compound. Al-Zawawi and her aides sought shelter in the basement of the residence as the situation escalated. Iranian media said the mob managed to enter the building, leading to cases of suffocation and injuries among the ambassador and several embassy staff members. Emergency teams later transferred Ambassador Al-Zawawi to hospital for treatment, while medical staff also treated injured personnel. Family members of the ambassador and embassy employees remained trapped in the basement until Iranian security forces arrived. Security units later intervened, evacuated those inside, and confronted the attackers, bringing the situation under control.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67093&slug=palestinian-ambassador-in-iran-hospitalized-after-mob-attacks-her-residence-in-tehran

{US Delivers Additional F‑35 Jets to Israel, Intensifying Military Edge During Gaza Genocide
The United States has delivered additional F‑35 jets to Israel, boosting its advanced stealth fleet to 48 aircraft. The move comes amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza, raising concerns over further escalation and civilian suffering.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Three new F‑35I stealth fighter jets landed in the occupation state of Israel early on Sunday coming from the United States, the Israeli military said, raising the number of fifth‑generation aircraft in the Israeli Air Force (IAF) arsenal to 48.  The jets are part of Israel’s initial order of 50 F‑35s. Another 25 F‑35 fighters were ordered from US contractor Lockheed Martin in 2024 and are expected to begin arriving in 2028. The continued delivery of advanced military aircraft comes against a backdrop of sustained US support for Israel’s defense. Washington has long been Israel’s largest source of military aid, committing roughly $3.8 billion in annual military assistance under a US-Israel memorandum of understanding that runs through 2028. Much of this funding goes through the Foreign Military Financing program, which enables Israel to procure US weapons and military systems. Since the start of the genocide in Gaza in October 2023, the United States has provided at least $21.7 billion in military aid to Israel, according to an academic report combining figures from both the Biden and Trump administrations. This includes major weapons, munitions, and equipment that have supported Israeli assaults during the genocide. Under President Trump’s administration, US military ties with Israel have remained strong, with significant arms sales and approvals of major weapons packages worth billions of dollars. In 2025 alone, Trump’s team notified Congress of plans to sell nearly $7 billion in weapons, including Apache helicopters and armored vehicles, after reversing a previous pause on such deliveries.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67091&slug=us-delivers-additional-f35-jets-to-israel-intensifying-military-edge-during-gaza-genocide


Videoscreen grab: A displaced couple fixes a tent shelter
Al Jazeera - Jan 19, 2026 - Mariamne Everett
{New storm to hit Gaza, piling on suffering for thousands of displaced
Nearly all of the flimsy tents in Palestinian displacement camps have been rendered unusable due to the harsh winter conditions.
A new storm is forecast to hit Gaza, adding further to the suffering of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in makeshift tents in displacement camps that are already unfit to withstand the harsh winter weather. Israel’s more than two-year genocidal war has forced nearly all of Gaza’s two million people from their homes to live in these temporary shelters. Last week, Gaza’s Government Media Office reported that 127,000 of the 135,000 tents in displacement camps have been rendered unusable because of the recent extreme weather. “The reality on the ground tells a very painful and grim story,” said Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Gaza City on Monday. “Hundreds of thousands of displaced families are still living in torn tents and roofless homes exposed to the rain and cold, and the freezing nights.” This suffering is directly caused by Israeli restrictions, said Abu Azzoum, as Israel has not been allowing the “entry of prefabricated mobile housing units and the building materials that are essential for winter protection” or a free flow of desperately needed basic humanitarian aid. Under a United States-brokered ceasefire, which took effect on October 10, and which Israel has violated hundreds of times on a near-daily basis, aid deliveries were supposed to be significantly ramped up, with at least 600 trucks a day due to enter Gaza to fulfil the population’s needs. However, the Government Media Office says only an average of 145 trucks have been entering Gaza since the ceasefire. In an attempt to ease their abject misery, Palestinians have been “improvising by reinforcing their makeshift tents with plastic sheets, by keeping themselves fully clothed and burning scraps inside the makeshift tents in order to use them for heating due to the unaffordability of fuel supplies and heating mechanisms along the Strip,” said Abu Azzoum. Winter in Palestine can be “very brutal”, but what makes this one even worse is that it comes on top of months of “displacement, hunger and exhaustion”, he added.
The harsh winter conditions have also caused the collapse of previously damaged buildings by relentless Israeli bombing, leading to the deaths of at least 25 people since mid-December, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. “The elderly people, the sick and the children are among those who are most affected” by the harsh winter conditions, said Abu Azzoum. Deaths caused by cold exposure have risen to 24, including 21 children, the Government Media Office reported last week. “All the victims were displaced Palestinians living in forced displacement camps,” it said in a statement. A Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson in Gaza said last week that hospitals across the territory have been observing an influx of patients, particularly children, with cold-related illnesses, and the organisation had received hundreds of calls for support due to extreme cold. The Palestinian Meteorological Department has warned of the risk of frost and freezing conditions in a polar air mass across large parts of Palestine on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/19/new-storm-to-hit-gaza-piling-on-suffering-for-thousands-of-displaced


Inas Khlawi
Quds news - Jan 18, 2026
{Released Palestinian Journalist: Israeli Soldiers Threatened Me With a Male Jailer During Strip Search
Released Palestinian journalist Inas Khlawi says Israeli soldiers abused and humiliated her during detention, including threats to bring a male jailer when she refused a forced strip search, as her case highlights growing repression of Palestinian journalists in the West Bank.
Occupied West Bank (QNN)- Released Palestinian journalist Inas Khlawi said she faced violations and abuse by Israeli soldiers following her detention earlier this month in the occupied West Bank. Israeli forces released Khlawi on January 15 after holding her for 11 days over social media posts. Khlawi, who lives in the town of Idhna near occupied Hebron, said an Israeli military unit raided her family home in a violent night assault. She told Al Jazeera that soldiers smashed two doors, woke the entire family, and stormed the house while shouting. “We were asleep, then suddenly we woke up to breaking sounds and screaming. The soldier kept asking directly, ‘Where is Inas?’” she said, adding that soldiers forced her to hand over her phone before taking her away. From the raid to interrogation, Khlawi said abuse began immediately. She reported that soldiers beat and insulted her inside the military vehicle before transferring her to the Tarqumiya crossing and then to interrogation centers. She said interrogators focused on her Facebook posts, most of which addressed the killing of Palestinian journalists Anas Al-Sharif and Ismail Al-Ghoul. “My charge was how I published news about the killing of journalist Anas Al-Sharif,

Anas Al-Sharif
and why I described him as the face of Gaza,” Khlawi said. She explained that authorities labeled the post as incitement, even though the same content had circulated first in Israeli media. She said she challenged the judge in court and defended her work as a journalist trained in media for four years, stressing that expressing Palestinian reality always becomes “incitement” in the eyes of Israel. Khlawi added that the court itself acknowledged, according to the translated decision, that the posts under investigation did not reach the level of incitement. Despite this, she said the detention continued under harsh conditions. She also described undergoing a forced strip search despite her objections, calling it one of the most degrading experiences she has endured. “I felt my dignity was completely violated,” she said. “I refused at first, but the female soldier screamed and threatened to bring a male soldier to carry out the search. At that moment, I felt there was no escape.” Khlawi said she spent two days in a cell, one of them without food. The meal provided the next day, she said, fell “below the level of human dignity.” She later transferred to Damon Prison, where prison authorities confiscated the clothes she wore during detainment and gave her only two pajamas without underwear. She also described dangerous cell conditions, including sharp metal edges under doors and the deliberate cutting of hot water during showers. “In Damon, I understood for the first time that freedom is the most precious thing,” Khlawi said. “The experience was extremely harsh despite its short length. I felt as if the sky itself had changed while I was gone. I cannot imagine the suffering of women detainees who have spent years behind bars without charges.” Israeli authorities released Khlawi on bail of 6,000 shekels, about $1,910, and ordered her to appear in court again early next month.} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=67090&slug=released-palestinian-journalist-israeli-soldiers-threatened-me-with-a-male-jailer-during-strip-search

Experts warn that politicisation of a policing decision sets a ‘dangerous precedent’ for democracy in the United Kingdom. The resignation of the UK’s West Midlands police chief, who banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a football match in Birmingham last year, has triggered concerns that pressure from pro-Israel groups is being allowed to override policing decisions in the United Kingdom. Police decisions are supposed to be independent of the government or political influence in the UK. But the departure of Craig Guildford, chief constable of West Midlands Police, was the result of political pressure from pro-Israel lobby groups amid heightened sensitivities around the issues of Israel and Palestine, legal and political commentators say. In November last year, West Midlands Police recommended that Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans should be banned from attending a Europa League match against Aston Villa in Birmingham on public order and security grounds. West Midlands Police said it had classified the match as high risk based on “current intelligence and previous incidents, including violent clashes and hate crime offences that occurred during the 2024 UEFA Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Amsterdam”. “Based on our professional judgement, we believe this measure will help mitigate risks to public safety,” the police force said at the time. The decision was ultimately approved by Birmingham City Council’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG), a multi-agency body that brings together police, local authorities and emergency services to assess safety risks at major events. There was a public outcry, and numerous media opinion pieces called the ban “anti-Semitic”. That pressure has since intensified. Last week, UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood publicly stated that she had lost confidence in Guildford following criticism by a police watchdog of how the ban was handled. Guildford resigned on Friday. But observers say Guildford’s departure is a sign that policing decisions which intersect with the issue of Israel and Palestine are no longer insulated from political consequences. The reason for this, said Chris Nineham, vice-chair of the British group Stop the War Coalition, is that “most politicians are too scared to challenge the pro-Israel mainstream consensus”. He believes the fallout from the ban will have lasting consequences for future policing decisions. “I think it will reinforce the tendency for police forces to go along with the establishment bias against Palestine supporters, which is a product of the British ruling class’s support for Israel and is reinforced by Israel’s impressive lobbying operation,” Nineham told Al Jazeera.
‘A very dangerous precedent’
Frances Webber, a retired barrister who writes on politics, human rights and the rule of law, said the significance of Guildford’s resignation extends far beyond football or crowd control. In the UK, “police forces are operationally independent of government, and any case against Guildford should have been pursued judicially, not politically”, she explained. The visible role of central government in the fallout from this policing decision, she argued, “sets a very dangerous precedent, not just for police and local authorities but for democracy”. Supporters of the ban on Maccabi fans attending the match in Birmingham argue it was rooted in a risk assessment shaped by events abroad and local context. In 2024, Dutch authorities reported serious disorder involving Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters at a match in Amsterdam, with violence both before and after the fixture. In intelligence shared ahead of the Birmingham match, British police said their Dutch counterparts informed them that significant numbers of visiting fans had been involved in organised confrontations and disturbances. Birmingham is one of the UK’s most diverse cities, with around 30 percent of its residents Muslim and more than 40 percent identifying as Asian or from minority ethnic backgrounds, according to the 2021 Census. Officers were therefore concerned that the arrival of large numbers of high-risk, visiting supporters could spark tensions and even retaliatory disorder. Nineham argues, therefore, that while procedural mistakes have since been identified by a police watchdog, the underlying policing decision about the match in Birmingham was sound. “The undeniably violent element within the Maccabi fans would have been a risk to the local population,” he said. Webber also points to reports that visiting Maccabi fans in Amsterdam had openly celebrated the killing of children in Gaza, and officers would have had to consider this when assessing the risks surrounding the Birmingham football fixture.
An imbalance in scrutiny?
So why was the ban called into question at all?
Last week, a police watchdog report by Sir Andy Cooke, chief inspector at His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary, found that “confirmation bias” had influenced how West Midlands Police assessed and presented intelligence it had received about Maccabi fans to the SAG. It reported that Dutch police had questioned the intelligence UK police claimed to have received from them. According to a report in the UK newspaper The Guardian this week, Dutch police said key claims about the violence in Amsterdam relied on by West Midlands Police to reach its decision to ban Maccabi fans did not align with its own experience.
The report also criticised the police’s reliance on artificial intelligence (AI), in particular, erroneous AI-generated material such as a reference to a football match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and West Ham that never took place. Guildford later apologised after initially telling MPs that AI had not been used, before clarifying that the error stemmed from an AI-assisted search tool. Since Cooke’s interim report was published, much of the British media has framed Guildford’s resignation as justified, citing the findings in the report. However, the report found no evidence that the ban was motivated by anti-Semitism, despite repeated claims to that effect. Critics of the report, including Jewish Voice for Labour, however, have argued that there was an imbalance when it came to weighing concerns from different members of the community. In a letter to the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, the group said the chief inspector of constabulary met with what his report described as “significant people” including representatives of the Israeli Embassy, members of Birmingham’s Jewish community, and Lord John Mann, the government’s independent adviser on anti-Semitism, but did not meet with any groups representing Birmingham’s Muslim community. The group said that this disparity showed that Muslim safety concerns had been marginalised during the process.
‘A pro-Israel consensus’
“It is worrying how the line that this ban was anti-Semitic and that only a tiny minority of Maccabi fans are a problem has been able to take hold, despite the clear evidence to the contrary,” Nineham said, adding that most politicians have appeared unwilling to challenge a pro-Israel consensus once it was formed. The fallout that resulted in Guildford’s departure, he believes, was ultimately shaped less by the report’s findings than by concern within the political establishment about the precedent the ban might set. “Guildford was forced out because the political establishment didn’t want the decision he made to become a precedent… The message to the police is: don’t make decisions based on a real risk assessment, toe the pro-Israel line,” Nineham noted. He said he believes the episode will serve to reinforce a wider tendency within policing and other institutions to avoid decisions perceived as unfavourable to Israel, deepening what he describes as an establishment bias against Palestine supporters. Indeed, the implications of Guildford’s departure extend far beyond this single case, warns Webber, with leaders in the police force being placed in an “impossible situation”, expected to weigh foreign-policy sensitivities alongside public safety – something she said is absolutely not their role. Guildford’s exit may satisfy political demands for accountability. But it has also sent a clear message: when policing decisions intersect with Israel and Palestine, independence comes at a price, and careers can be the cost.{} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/1/19/maccabi-football-fans-and-the-ousting-of-a-uk-police-chief-why-it-matters

And let us not forget


Hani Naim

{‘We just sit and cry’: Gaza’s cancer patients die waiting for treatment
Doctors say cancer-related deaths have tripled since Israel’s war on Gaza began, as Israel blocks patients from leaving and restricts the entry of chemotherapy drugs.
For Hani Naim, the wait is not for a cure, but for permission to save his own life. Living with cancer for six years, Naim had been approved for treatment abroad. But like thousands of others, he remains trapped in Gaza, barred from leaving by tightening Israeli restrictions. “I used to receive treatment in the West Bank and Jerusalem,” Naim told Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum. “Today, I cannot access any treatment at all. I need radiotherapy, and it no longer exists in Gaza.”
Naim is one of 11,000 cancer patients currently stranded in the enclave, where the healthcare system has collapsed entirely. According to doctors, the number of cancer-related deaths has tripled since the October 2023 start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. With no chemotherapy, no radiotherapy, and no way out, a cancer diagnosis has become, for many, an immediate death sentence.
A ‘ghost hospital’
The epicentre of this crisis is the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital. Once the sole facility providing specialised oncology care in the Gaza Strip, it now stands as a hollowed-out shell. “It resembles a ghost hospital after being turned into a military site during the war,” Abu Azzoum reported. “Israeli forces blew it up, leaving patients to fend for themselves.” With the main facility destroyed, doctors have been forced into makeshift clinics with zero resources. In an interview with Al Jazeera Mubasher, Mohammed Abu Nada, the medical director of the Gaza Cancer Centre, described a situation of total helplessness. “We have lost everything,” Abu Nada said. “We lost the only hospital capable of diagnosing and treating cancer… We are now in Nasser Medical Complex, but unfortunately, we have no equipment to diagnose the disease, and we have no chemotherapy.”
‘Chocolates but no medicine’
Despite recent ceasefire agreements that were supposed to allow aid into the Strip, essential medical supplies remain blocked. Abu Nada dismissed claims that aid is flowing freely, noting that while some commercial goods have entered, life-saving drugs have not. “They brought in chocolates, nuts, and chips … but treatments for chronic diseases, cancer treatments, and diagnostic devices have not entered at all,” he said. “This is just propaganda,” he added. “We appealed to the World Health Organization … to at least provide us with treatment if we are not allowed to leave. But on the contrary, what we had has run out.” Abu Nada estimated that 60 to 70 percent of cancer protocols are completely unavailable. Because chemotherapy often requires a specific sequence of drugs, missing even one component renders the entire treatment ineffective. Even palliative care is failing. Painkillers — essential for managing the agony of advanced cancer — are now being rationed. “We try to prioritise,” Abu Nada explained. “Those with widespread cancer are given some, and those who are still on safe ground … we do not give them any.”
A silent killer
The human toll of these shortages is stark. Abu Nada revealed that in the Khan Younis area alone, two to three cancer patients die every single day. “The result is that cancer spreads in the patient’s body like wildfire,” he said. “We have gone back 50 years in cancer treatment.” Currently, 3,250 patients have official referrals for treatment abroad, but are unable to cross the border due to the closure of the Rafah crossing and Israeli bans on medical evacuations. For the remaining medical staff, the psychological burden is immense. “Some specialists have left Gaza,” Abu Nada said. “But even for those who remain, what use is a doctor without tools?” “The doctor has nothing left to do but sit and cry next to this patient who is denied treatment and denied travel.”} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/9/we-just-sit-and-cry-gazas-cancer-patients-die-waiting-for-treatment
