For the first time in the history of the United Nations.
Israel takeover of UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem and raised its flag over the building.
This violates Article 52 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions and the UN Charter, which stipulates that “The property and assets of the UN, wherever located shall be immune…”
Another violation of international law being broadcast live. Israel's impunity must end!
In the end, Gaza gets forgotten. Relegated in importance. Its suffering no longer worthy of international headlines or mainstream media coverage.
And the journalists who would have kept spotlighting daily life were murdered by Israel.
What's happening in Gaza is now almost entirely absent from the top international headlines. But Israel is still killing Palestinians and their babies are freezing to death. We can't afford to stop talking about that.
Juliet Stevenson: "There are 4 fully equipped mobile maternity clinics waiting to cross the border.. they're not allowed across... the Israeli govt has blocked [them].. we have to stop selling arms to Israel, we have to stop supporting that regime"
Well said.
This is a horrifying scandal and there should be an urgent inquiry established.

🚨 URGENT: Scottish flotilla participant Yvonne Ridley is missing after being imprisoned by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.
Yvonne Ridley had been held at Ketziot prison on hunger strike and denied her medication.
She was due to be deported to Istanbul but disappeared during the transfer. Her current whereabouts are unknown and we are deeply concerned for her safety.
Take Action NOW by contacting the Foreign Office to demand that the Government intervene immediately to ensure Yvonne’s safe return.
Israeli soldiers forced Global Sumud Flotilla participants to kneel on the ground with their hands zip-tied for at least five hours after they were detained while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, their lawyers have said.
Adalah, a humanitarian organisation based in Haifa, said a team of lawyers had met with 331 of the 462 people who had their boats illegally seized by Israeli forces while in international waters on Wednesday and Thursday.
In a report published on Friday, Adalah said participants' rights had been “systematically violated” in Israeli detention, even before they were transferred to Ketziot, the notorious prison where they are now being held.
Detainees were denied basic necessities like drinking water, access to toilets and medication, Adalah said, as well as legal representation.
Lawyers waited outside Ashdod Port for nine hours on Thursday, Adalah said, while Israeli authorities denied them entry and instead began illegally processing cases and conducting hearings inside without them.
When the legal team eventually did gain access - working from 3pm on Thursday to 5.30am on Friday morning to support as many people as possible - several participants told them they had been violently woken whenever they tried to sleep, and subjected to threats and aggression.
Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was filmed at the port, shouting at participants, in what Adalah described as “an act of humiliation and intimidation” and “a degrading display of control”.
Despite reporting these alarming details, Adalah said that everyone their legal team met with was in “relatively stable condition”.
Adalah confirmed that a lawyer had met with British-Palestinian Novara Media journalist Kieran Andrieu at Ashdod port, and confirmed that he was unharmed at the time. He is now believed to be in Ketziot prison with other participants.
Detainees are expected to be held until Sunday or Monday and then deported.
Adalah said it is pursuing legal measures to “guarantee that every single participant is accounted for” and continuing prison visits.

I hope every journalist in Scotland, UK & across the world will stand in solidarity with fellow journalists who are being targeted & assassinated by Israel with impunity.
These are the actions of a regime that does not want the truth of what they are doing in Gaza to be exposed.
Israel just bombed an murdered the entire Aljazeera staff in Gaza city:
Correspondents Anas Al Sharif @AnasAlSharif0 and Mohammad Qreiqei, killed.
Cameramen Ibrahim Dhaher and Mo’men Aleiwa, killed.
Crew driver, Mohammad Nofal, killed.
All murdered in an Israeli bombing of their TENT stationed by Al-Shifa hospital.
This means, a commander gave the order, and others executed it. This should be tracked and made public, who killed the journalists.
It wasn’t just a bomb. It was its manufacturer, and the Israeli commanders that are giving the order, and the soldiers saying yes and conducting the strike.
All of these murderers need to be made public by name. Israeli state violence is made by people.
