Israeli settler terrorists deliberately emptied Palestinian water tanks onto the ground in Ein al-Hilweh, in the northern Jordan Valley of the occupied West Bank.

Palestinians in this herding community struggle every day for water after Israeli settlers seized their main spring five years ago.

This is pure evil.

Joint Statement Issued by the Mediators: The State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Republic of Türkiye on the Ongoing Israeli Violations in Gaza

Doha | 03 August 2026

The State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Republic of Türkiye, in their capacity as the mediating countries, express their strong condemnation and denunciation of the ongoing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, particularly the targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, and the resulting civilian casualties, including women and children, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

The mediators stress the need for Israel to comply with all of its obligations under international law and to fully uphold its commitments under the ceasefire agreement, affirming that the continuation of these violations constitutes a breach of the agreement and undermines the efforts aimed at implementing its second phase, particularly following Hamas and the Palestinian factions’ announcement of their acceptance of the roadmap, especially the provision concerning the confinement of weapons. They further warn that these violations threaten the path toward de-escalation and exacerbate the suffering of civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The mediators renew their call for ensuring the full protection of civilians, medical facilities, and humanitarian personnel, and for guaranteeing the unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance and medical supplies throughout the Gaza Strip.

The mediators also call on the international community to assume its responsibilities and exert the necessary pressure on Israel to fulfill its obligations under international law and the ceasefire agreement, in a manner that ensures the completion of President Trump’s peace plan. They note that President Trump described reaching consensus on the roadmap for the second phase as a “historic agreement,” and stress the need to prevent any undermining of the efforts aimed at achieving a sustainable de-escalation, leading to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip.

GAZA: THE SUFFERING CONTINUES

Today in Gaza, most of the TV cameras are gone and media interest has declined. But, more than nine months after the announcement of a supposed “ceasefire”, the suffering of the Palestinian people continues.

Today, 92% of housing units in Gaza are damaged or destroyed, 70% of the entire population lacks adequate housing and is forced to live in makeshift shelters, 86% of agricultural water wells have been damaged, the vast majority of households report significant challenges in accessing safe and clean sanitation facilities and 90% of all energy infrastructure has been destroyed.

And what about the children? Today in Gaza, 91% of school-aged children do not have sustained access to in-person education, 93% of school buildings will require full reconstruction or major rehabilitation to be functional again and 70% of infants and young children under two years of age are experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity.

All of this is taking place after the horrific destruction that Netanyahu’s extremist government brought to Gaza over the last three years: more than 73,000 Palestinians killed and 173,000 wounded — mostly women, children and the elderly. In addition, virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza was destroyed.

Israel now controls an estimated 70% of Gaza, well beyond what they agreed to, and has built dozens of military outposts inside Gaza since the “ceasefire” began. In the nine months since the “ceasefire” was announced, Israel has killed at least 1,150 Palestinians, including a family of six last week.

Now, as if to remove any doubt about their intentions, senior leaders of the Netanyahu government are moving to make the occupation permanent. Recently, a number of government ministers led thousands of settlers to the Gaza border demanding new illegal Jewish settlements be built there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stood up and said "Gaza is ours."

The shameful fact is that the United States is complicit in everything that is happening in Gaza. We have funneled tens of billions of dollars in military aid to an Israeli government that has consistently violated international law and whose leader is a war criminal.

The good news is that the American people are catching on. More and more Americans — Democrats, Republicans and independents — are demanding that we stop all military aid to Israel and use our considerable leverage to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Enough is enough! Congress must listen to the American people. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Ceasefire? What ceasefire?

Israel is still MASSIVELY bombing Gaza.

💢 A breakdown of how the incident in Tel, Nablus unfolded:

The Palestinian man, Farouk Ramadan, initially appears to be trying to protect another Palestinian (likely his brother) when an armed settler hits him in the head with a rifle. (Image 2)

As he moves away, he is kicked or struck from behind. Still, he retreats again. (3)

Israeli settlers or the surrounding soldiers (under whose protection the incursion appears to be taking place), then fire live shots. The sounds of gunshots can be heard clearly in the video. (3)

An armed Israeli settler then charges directly at Ramadan and a fellow Palestinian with a gun raised and pointed at their chest, closing distance between them, as gunshots are heard in the background.

Ramadan disarms him, takes the rifle, and aims at the settler, and purportedly shoots him dead. (1)

On the sequence visible in the footage, it is clear he is acting in self-defense against an imminent armed threat than the “terrorist attack” senior Israeli officials are calling it and using to justify pogroms in Palestinian villages.

Five Palestinians were ultimately killed in the broader settler and Israeli military forces attack in this incident. Dozens more have been wounded and property damaged since.

NEW: Rep. Ro Khanna said he and his delegation were detained for over an hour by armed Israeli settlers while visiting a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank.

He says settlers blocked their vehicle with M4 rifles until Israeli security forces arrived, and criticized the Israeli military for siding with the settlers.

A Turkish journalist at the press conference ahead of Egypt's match against Argentina asked:

"We saw you raise the Palestinian flag after Egypt's match against Australia. How did you feel at that moment, and would you do the same again after the Argentina match?"

Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan responded:

"First of all, I welcome you and the Turkish people. Everyone has feelings and emotions.

If there is anyone in the world who does not feel for the Palestinian people, then they are not human. It doesn't matter whether they are Arab, European, or from anywhere else.

Even people in Europe and the United States care deeply about animal rights when animals are mistreated.

So what about human rights, when children and women are subjected to attacks every single day?

We are sitting comfortably in our air-conditioned homes with food and water, while another people are living in the streets with no food, no water, no shelter, and facing destruction.

If we cannot feel for what is happening in Palestine, then we have lost our humanity. It has nothing to do with whether someone is Muslim or Christian, or with their nationality. This is not about religion or citizenship.

To anyone speaking about this issue, I would ask them to imagine living just one day on the streets—with no food, no water, nowhere to keep warm in the cold, and nothing to protect you from the heat in the summer.

It is a disgrace to all of us, and to the entire world, that the Palestinian people are living under such conditions while others live in comfort around them.

I am a human being before I am an Arab or an Egyptian. This has nothing to do with religion or nationality—it is about humanity.

Through football, we are sending a message to the whole world: Please, let the Palestinian people live. Please, let them live."

🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him.

🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness.

🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment.

🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”

🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law.

🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.”

The ʿAsʿus family was about to sit down for dinner when they heard gunfire from the street. Everyone rushed to take cover. Two-year-old Layla was sitting in her mother’s lap when a bullet struck her in the head. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The shooters were Israeli soldiers who had were carrying out a raid in a neighboring home in the village of Muthallath a-Shuhada in Jenin District, on 25 January 2025.

Layla is one of 54 children and teens killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2025. Our new report, Unshielded Childhood, released this week, tells their stories and the circumstances that led to each of their deaths.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed 241 children and teenagers in the West Bank, the highest number of Palestinian minors killed there since the territory was occupied in 1967. This is the result of an Israeli policy that enables and backs the killing of Palestinians, without anyone being held to account.

"مجلس السلام" والذي بمقتضاه قام مجلس الأمن "بخصخصة" القضية الفلسطينية وإسنادها إلى مجلس يرأسه ترامب يعلن ان “الأونروا @UNRWA لا مكان لها في غزةً الجديدة " !!!
هذه بداية متوقعة لتنفيذ الخطة الاسرائيلية / الأمريكية المبيتة منذ سنوات بالقضاء على الأونروا @UNRWA -المنشأة بقرار من الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة عام ١٩٤٩ لحماية ودعم اللاجئين الفلسطينين - من اجل نزع صفة "اللاجئين"عن ستة ملايين فلسطيني وبداية تصفية قضيتهم وحقهم في العودة وإقامة دولتهم المستقلة.
يصعب على ان أتصور أن يكون أعضاء مجلس السلام من الدول العربية والإسلامية شركاء في هذا المخطط الشيطاني لتصفية القضية الفلسطينية او ان ينساق معظم أعضاء الأمم المتحدة وراءه !
الرد على هذا في اقل تقدير يكون بقيام الدول العربية والإسلامية على وجه الخصوص بتقديم العون المالي اللازم للاونروا - فى مواجهة المخطط الأمريكي بخنقها ماليا- لتستطيع القيام بعملها الإنساني - طبقا للصلاحيات الموكلة اليها من الأمم المتحدة- والاحتفاظ بالوضع القانوني "للاجئين الفلسطينين" الى حين الوصول لحل عادل للقضية
اللهم قد بلغت…

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

Ningún ser humano -y, desde luego, ningún niño o niña- debería sufrir el horror que se vive en Gaza.

Hoy, nuestro país acoge a 100 personas palestinas, 20 de ellas menores, junto a sus familias, para que puedan recibir el tratamiento que necesitan.

Atenderlas es una obligación moral. Defender su derecho a volver a un hogar en paz, también.

La indiferencia nunca puede ser una opción.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

The Israeli government has equipped Israeli settlers in the West Bank with drones, which are being used to harass and attack Palestinians.

Israeli settler terrorism is not the work of a few extremists. It is state-backed terrorism.

The UN couldn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered and maimed by Israel.

Why?

Because they feared Israel would respond by killing and maiming the families of the children.

[Dalal Mawadدلال معوض @dalalmawad]

A few critical thoughts on the 🇱🇧/ 🇮🇱 agreement:
1. There is no mention of Israeli withdrawal but “redeployment “ not the same .
2. Agreement application is fully pending on Lebanon disarming Hezbollah which seems tricky and unrealistic.
3. No clear timeline
