"The UN is a cautious institution." Its listing of Israel for its systematic use of sexual violence "was not made on a whim." Now the task is to hold Israeli officials accountable. International justice is needed to end the domestic impunity. https://t.co/QnaY8w4Zp8
A 13-year-old boy from Gaza City lost a hand and a leg in an Israeli airstrike on his shelter. After recovery and receiving a prosthetic leg, Akram Al Fayoumi returned to roller skating and continues to practice today.
🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”
This is Beit Lahia in northern Gaza. Just now, Israel blew up homes and demolished what remained of other buildings across the city, reducing more of it to rubble.
🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists
Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.
It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.
The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.
Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.
The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.
Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

"From newborns to teenagers, Palestinian children have not been spared extraordinary levels of Israeli violence... Surviving childhood should never be this difficult"
7-month-old Sam is one of 241 children killed in the West Bank by Israeli security forces and settlers since October 2023.
Over 21,000 children were killed in Gaza in the same period, including 183 verified killings of children after the ceasefire announcement in October 2025 — 48 of them in attacks that only killed children.

Israeli killings of civilians and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians have continued unabated, despite the declaration of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah on April 17.
Unless Israel’s impunity is brought to an end, more unlawful bloodshed will continue.

Joint violence by the military and settler militias is a central component of Israel’s ethnic cleansing policy in the West Bank.
In a violent, pre-planned attack, dozens of armed settlers accompanied by at least one soldier raided four Palestinian villages south of Nablus – Huwarah, ‘Einabus, Jama’in and ‘Asirah al-Qibliyah – on Saturday, 6 June 2026.
At least eight Palestinian residents were injured in the attack, two of them by shrapnel from gunfire. ‘Omar ‘Abd al-Hakim Dar Muhammad, 20, was admitted to intensive care with a brain hemorrhage and severe facial fractures.
The attackers caused massive damage to property and sources of income: they stole at least 44 sheep and a donkey, three vehicles, and expensive equipment from garages and from a concrete plant. They vandalized other vehicles and tried to set fire to the local council building in ‘Einabus.
A four-year investigation reveals that millions of euros’ worth of agricultural products from Israeli settlements enter European markets unlawfully. A complete European Union-wide ban is needed on these war-crime products. https://t.co/gA4tTB5MVN
Almost one in five Israeli-labeled food shipments entering the EU are actually from settlements in the occupied West Bank or from the Golan Heights, according to a new investigation.

There are alarming reports of settler violence coming from the occupied West Bank: the demolition of homes, relentless expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, ongoing displacement of Palestinians, the threat of an attempted annexation that would – like the decades-long occupation – have no legal validity.
The risk of making a two-State solution impossible – when there is no other viable option.
And throughout, the presumption of impunity.
These injustices must stop.
Countries must comply with all their obligations under international law.
No exceptions.
Herzliya was named after the founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl. It was built over the lands of three Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed & destroyed by Israel in 1948: Ijlil al-Shamaliyya, Ijlil al-Qibliyya, & al-Haram (Sayyiduna 'Ali). 1/

🇵🇸 New: The Israeli cabinet is expected to approve a plan Thursday to fund the de facto establishment of 61 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, allocating more than $350 million, according to a draft government decision obtained by Axios reporter Barak Ravid.
🔹Championed by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the plan would fund housing and infrastructure before formal planning procedures are complete, effectively creating “facts on the ground,” including in many settlements located in strategically sensitive areas, such as the Jordan Valley and South Hebron Hills – expansion designed to link existing settlements while further undermining the viability of a future Palestinian state.
🔹It is the latest step in what Peace Now has described as the largest settlement drive since the 1993 Oslo Accords. The current Israeli coalition has authorized more than 100 new settlements and outposts, up from 127 before it took office.
🔹Rights groups say the policy is accelerating the de facto annexation of the occupied West Bank and foreclosing the possibility of a contiguous Palestinian state. Israeli settlements in the occupied territories are illegal under international law.
Israel’s campaign to displace Palestinians in the occupied West Bank is not random, not sporadic, and not the work of “extremist settlers.”
It is state-led, state-backed, and accelerating, and amounts to crimes against humanity, including forcible transfer.
Our new @amnesty's report “Erasing anything Palestinian", exposes how forced displacement, settler violence, and land seizures are being systematically instrumentalized to entrench annexation.
This is a coordinated state policy of ethnic cleansing. The world cannot look away.
