Israel and the U.S. are reportedly preparing another ceasefire proposal in Lebanon. Human Rights Watch joins the chorus of international rights groups and experts condemning Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
As accusations that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in Gaza continue to grow, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich declares 2025 will be the year of “expanding Israeli sovereignty” to the West Bank.
Spokesperson Yitzhak Cohen said the Israel army is close to the complete “evacuation” of north Gaza, and Palestinian residents will not be allowed to return. This marks the first official admission of the intent to permanently expel Palestinians.
The Israeli army has admitted for the first time that it intends to prevent Palestinian residents of northern Gaza to return to their homes.
Israel continues to bomb Kamal Adwan Hospital over a week after raiding the compound in northern Gaza. Meanwhile, fabricated documents falsely attributed to Yahya Sinwar repudiate Israeli claims of Hamas rejectionism in ceasefire talks last summer.
There are no more hospitals in northern Gaza as Kamal Adwan Hospital goes out of service. In Lebanon, Hezbollah’s new Secretary General, Naim Qassem, says the movement will not negotiate before a ceasefire.
The last functioning hospital in north Gaza is forced out of service as Israeli forces continue to besiege and bomb Jabalia and Beit Lahia. In southern Lebanon, Israeli forces continue to take heavy losses.
The ongoing extermination campaign in northern Gaza is displacing Palestinians from shelters as dozens of residents have been abducted by the Israeli army. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut’s southern Dahiya district.
Israel’s conditions for a ceasefire with Lebanon include allowing the Israeli army to continue operating in Lebanese territory. Meanwhile, Israel steps up its extermination campaign in northern Gaza, targeting its last remaining hospitals.
Israel has committed a new massacre in Jabalia as it continues its siege on northern Gaza.
