Benjamin Netanyahu’s firing of Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has removed the one minor restraint on expanding Israel’s regional war against Iran and the axis of resistance. International pressure to stop Israel is needed now more than ever.

As the year has dragged on, I can’t help but think my grandparents who experienced the Nakba were luckier. They never had to answer questions like, “What’s your message to a world that has failed you?”

Witness testimony from northern Gaza shows that Israel is using facial recognition technology to organize how it conducts mass arrests and forcible displacement. Some Palestinians say the technology is also being used to carry out field executions.

A new report by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, warns that Israel’s genocide in Gaza is spreading to the West Bank.

Israel has been able to insulate itself from the effects of the economic blockade imposed by the “Axis of Resistance” through supply chain warfare in the Middle East and the broader region.

Israel has banned the work of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, in Israel and East Jerusalem. The move could have a major impact on the agency’s life-saving work and is part of an ongoing campaign to erase Palestinian refugee rights.

Israel has barred at least six international medical NGOs that had been providing crucial support to Gaza’s decimated healthcare sector. Doctors in the banned groups say the move could result in thousands of additional deaths.

Survivors of the ongoing Israeli extermination campaign in north Gaza describe how the Israeli army is separating mothers from children before forcing them south, executing civilians in ditches, and directly targeting hospitals and medical staff.

Following the Israeli army’s claim to have displaced 20,000 Palestinians from Jabalia, local sources tell Mondoweiss that most of the displaced have relocated to other places in northern Gaza.

Testimonies from the brutal siege on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza describe massive air and ground assaults, including killer quadcopter drones, that are destroying infrastructure and causing catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
