FULL STATEMENT IN IMAGES:
Only once the working class is organised, and waged with the broad popular strata of small farmers and precarious/self-employed workers, can we force a reversal of these crippling costs.

Statement by Hamas:
"We affirm our complete rejection of the occupationโs plans to forcibly displace the Palestinians, including the use of Somali territory as a destination for Gazaโs population.
We consider Netanyahuโs governmentโs resort to this recognition as a reflection of the Israeli entityโs international isolation due to its war crimes and genocide against the Palestinians.
We call for strengthening the occupationโs isolation, both popularly and officially, and for holding its leaders accountable for their crimes against humanity.
We appreciate the positions of Arab and Islamic countries that condemned this announcement and warn against the occupationโs policies aimed at fragmenting Arab states and destabilizing them."

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: West Bank on verge of Third Intifada, anger will erupt like lava
โข "The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that an explosion in the occupied West Bank is imminent and that the outbreak of a comprehensive third Intifada is closer than ever. It stresses that the execution of the youth Amr al-Marbou and the child Sami Mashayikh in Kafr Aqab at dawn on Friday, along with the ongoing bloodshed and the unchecked violence of settler gangs killing and vandalizing across the West Bank, is the spark that will burn away any remaining illusions of calm, and that the accumulated Palestinian anger will erupt like molten lava against the occupation."
โข "The Front explains that our people are confronting a monstrous entity led by a deviant criminal system that mixes megalomania with a sadistic delight in bloodshed. Its practices of burning, destruction, and targeting civilians reveal a deeply entrenched racist and fascist doctrine and a sick psychological structure embodied by a group of killers and deranged individuals who practice violence as a distorted human instinct."
โข "The Front stresses that our people will not stand idly by in the face of this criminal sadism, and will not bow to organized state terrorism. The occupation is delusional if it believes escalating its crimes will bring calmโon the contrary, it will fuel an immense revolutionary energy that will impose a full-scale confrontation and turn the West Bank into a battlefield of attrition for the enemy and its settler hordes."
โข "The Front issues a warning to the world that the continuation of this fascist entity has become a central hub of genocide and a grave threat to humanity as a whole. It calls on all free forces to besiege this criminal system through comprehensive boycott and removing its legitimacy, and to stop dealing with its leaders as a normal state, but rather as a rogue gang of murderers and enemies of human values. It affirms that stability in the region will only come through uprooting this occupation from its foundations."

Palestinian women in Gaza recount sexual exploitation linked to aid sites and organizations
โโ
As Gazaโs humanitarian crisis deepens, women report being exploited by local men tied to aid organizations, who offered food, money, water, supplies, or jobs in exchange for sexual favors.
Six women shared their experiences with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Some menโs demands were explicit, โLet me touch you,โ one woman recalled, while others were framed in 'terms' such as โI want to marry youโ or โLetโs go together somewhere.โ
Five of the women said they refused such advances, though psychologists told AP that others have at times agreed.
One widow described how, after giving her phone number to a man wearing a UNRWA uniform at a designated humanitarian zone in Mawasi, she began receiving late-night sexual calls. She reported the incident to UNRWA in Gaza but said she was told she needed recordings as proof, something her old phone could not provide.
Another win for The Ditch and BDS.
