UN commission: Israel's Gaza operations amount to genocide, targeting children

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that Israeli military actions in Gaza amount to genocide, citing deliberate targeting of Palestinian children as a key indicator of genocidal intent, and detailing how ongoing attacks and blockade have caused widespread death and trauma; more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed (including over 250 children) since the ceasefire, amid West Bank violence and mass arrests, with calls for Israel to halt operations and for states to sanction officials.

Israel Breaks Ties With EU Diplomat Over Alleged Apartheid Remark

Israel’s foreign minister Gideon Saar suspended contact with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas after reports she compared Israel’s Gaza/West Bank policies to apartheid; Kallas did not deny the remarks, and the EU said dialogue remains essential while reaffirming support for a two-state solution and opposition to settlements. The move comes amid intensified scrutiny of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank, with UN rights bodies and the ICJ highlighting apartheid-related concerns.

MBS privately tells ally he could recognize Israel today, blocked by his father

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly told evangelical leader Mike Evans that he would recognize Israel today, but said King Salman was the obstacle; the claim, not independently verified by The Jerusalem Post, comes as Trump pushes a broader push for Arab states to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel, linking it to discussions on Iran. Evans described MBS as pro-Israel and critical of the Palestinians, with Riyadh publicly tying recognition to progress on Palestinian issues.

Broadcasted cruelty fuels global backlash over Ben-Gvir’s detention videos

Israel’s far-right security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video taunting detainees from a Gaza flotilla, echoing abusive practices long alleged in Israeli jails; the clip drew swift international condemnation and a rebuke from Prime Minister Netanyahu, while rights groups warn it highlights systemic mistreatment of Palestinians and calls for accountability remain largely unmet.

Mamdani's Nakba Day post stirs debate over Zionist-era art

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked Nakba Day with a post that included a video interview of a Palestinian resident and images of a 1936 Zionist-era poster, prompting pushback from Israeli activist Hen Mazzig who said the post weaponizes trauma and erases another narrative, highlighting Mamdani’s long-standing pro-Palestinian stance and DSA ties amid ongoing Israel-Palestine debates.

Settler expansion redefines the West Bank, transforming land and daily life

Settler expansion redefines the West Bank, transforming land and daily life

A field report from Ramallah to Nablus documents how Israeli settlers, backed by a new Settlement Administration led by Bezalel Smotrich, are expanding outposts, building roads, and arming themselves, effectively displacing Palestinians and reshaping land. With barrier gates, recurring attacks, and hilltop outposts from Turmus Ayya to Burqa, the article portrays a deliberate program of land seizure and intimidation that international law deems illegal, aided by government funding and political power. Palestinians face thousands displaced and hundreds killed since 2023, while resistance and memory of martyrs endure.

Israel approves special death-penalty court for Oct. 7 attackers

Israel approves special death-penalty court for Oct. 7 attackers

In a 93-0 vote (27 absent or abstaining), Israel’s Knesset approved a bill to create a special tribunal that could sentence Palestinians convicted of taking part in the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023 attack to death, with trials livestreamed in Jerusalem and appeals heard by a separate court. Rights groups criticize the move as eroding fair-trial protections, and supporters say it reflects a broad consensus on accountability for the attack. The measure is separate from a March law expanding the death penalty for Palestinians who murder Israelis and is not retroactive to Oct. 7 suspects; the ongoing Gaza war continues to drive a high casualty toll.

West Bank violence flares as settlers torch homes and clash with Palestinians

Dozens of Israeli settlers raided multiple West Bank towns, setting homes and cars on fire, assaulting residents, and sparking clashes as Israeli forces fired tear gas and stun grenades; a man and child were hospitalized after head injuries, a newly buried body was moved in Jenin, and arrests were reported in Battir and Nablus. Rights groups say the settlers operate with impunity amid ongoing settlement expansion.

West Bank school attack kills 14-year-old as settler violence escalates

A 14-year-old Palestinian student, Aws al-Naasan, was killed outside Mughayyir’s boys’ school by an Israeli reservist amid a wave of settler violence in the occupied West Bank that has targeted schools; the killings come as settlers raze a nearby village school and block access to education, with UN agencies warning of a broader pattern of attacks and displacement, while the Israeli military says the shooter acted after stones were thrown and troops were not present.

Two Palestinians, including a 14-year-old, killed as settlers attack West Bank village

Two Palestinians were killed in al-Mughayyir village in the West Bank during an attack by Jewish settlers and Israeli soldiers. The victims included Aws al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32. Palestinian officials blamed settler gunfire and alleged coordination with the Israeli army, while Israel said troops dispersed a violent confrontation after a report of stones thrown at an Israeli car. The incident fits a wider pattern of rising settler violence in 2026, with UN figures showing dozens killed, hundreds injured, and thousands displaced across the West Bank.
