The lack of pressure on Israel to release the thousands of Palestinian hostages (including CHILDREN) says a lot about what Peace that lays ahead, for the Palestinians.
There cannot be peace without justice, human rights and dignity of ALL.
Palestinian lives matter.
CNN reports that Israel has refused to release two abducted Palestinian doctors, renowned pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and Dr. Marwan Al Hams, deliberately excluding them from the ceasefire and prisoner swap agreement.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was abducted during Israel’s December raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital. Without providing evidence, Israel accused him of being a Hamas operative. According to Physicians for Human Rights Israel, he has faced starvation, abuse, and invasive searches, and has not been formally charged or interrogated since March. Meanwhile, Dr. Marwan Al Hams, the director of field hospitals in Gaza was kidnapped from southern Gaza in July by an undercover Israeli force.
As part of Wednesday’s deal, Hamas will release 48 Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip, while Israel must free 250 Palestinian detainees serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7.
Norwegian fans turned Ullevaal Stadium into a sea of Palestinian flags during their 5–0 win over Israel in the 2026 World Cup qualifier.
Thousands held up symbolic “red cards” to Israel, calling for accountability over the genocide in Gaza. Earlier, the Norwegian Football Federation pledged to donate all ticket revenue from the match to humanitarian aid for Gaza, saying, “Neither we nor other organisations can remain indifferent to the humanitarian suffering."
More than 1,000 people demonstrated in Oslo to protest the match between the Norwegian national team and Israel,
which ended with a big 5-0 victory for Norway.

@gidonsaar Aww so sweet for offering other alternative ports for moving the aids into Gaza.. but can you show evidence that the aids are going in into Gaza from those ports?
IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Israel has killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Esharif and four of his colleagues in an airstrike on their tent outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza. This deliberate assassination of Palestinian journalists is part of Israel’s ongoing effort to silence the truth and carry out genocide in darkness. But no matter how many they kill, our people will continue to document and expose these atrocities to the world.
Israel just killed Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0, a man whose only weapon was the truth he captured through his lens. Anas and over 200 journalists were witnesses to a genocide Israel is desperate to hide from the world. May Allah have mercy on him and every victim.
The beloved Anas Al-Sharif has been murdered by the brutal occupation. We are out of words. We are beyond heartbroken. The longer we fail to stop this, the more humans will be murdered.
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
THE PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT
1. The reactions to the latest hostility between Palestinians and the Israelis actually underscores why the conflict, which has been more than seven decades, would not find a solution.
2. Firstly, the responses that came from powerful Western nations and their apparatus, including their media, are hypocritical, bigoted and pathological.
3. Instead of addressing the conflict for what it actually is, they chose to continue with their deceptive narrative that it is an attack on Israel by terrorists – their blame being obviously against Hamas, the Hezbollah and Iran.
4. With that narrative, they stoke fear in the Western community, claiming that it is an attack on democracy and peace loving people.
5. With that, the US in particular feel justified to extend military support to Israel to “retaliate” against Palestinians attacks.
6. All these are far from the truth. Instead they are outright lies which had been perpetuated unashamedly by Western leaders and their media.
7. The truth is actually very simple.
8. For decades, the Israelis had been committing war crimes, massacres, genocide and unthinkable atrocities against the Palestinians.
9. These are not one-off acts but rather systematically conducted without respite throughout the seven decades.
10. Apart from Palestinian land which the Israelis acquired illegally through unilateral agreements and treaties with former occupiers of Palestine, the Israeli settlers have been forcefully seizing lands and farms belonging to Palestinians.
11. The Palestinians are chased out of their land and any attempt to seek some form of restitution from the Israeli authorities are met with violence backed most times by the Israeli security forces namely the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
12. The Palestinians, pushed to the corner, while Gaza was turned into an open air prison, attempted sporadic retaliations, which in turn were met with the full force of the IDF with weapons supplied by superpowers in particular the US.
13. This episode is not any different from previous retaliations except that probably this time around they are more focussed with a bit more assistance externally.
14. But the Western powers and their apparatus continue with their lies, with their narratives that the hostility is an act of terror committed by terrorists, ignoring the fact that it is retaliation by a people whose freedom and rights to their land had been forcefully taken away from them.
15. They refuse to view the hostility is committed by freedom fighters who are up against an injustice committed by an apartheid regime which had been perpetrating genocide on the Palestinians.
16. The Western powers and the US are party to apartheid, genocide and crimes against humanity for as long as they support the heinous Israeli regime.
17. With that, any attempt towards finding a just and fair solution for the Palestinians becomes an exercise in futility.
18. In the meantime, the Israelis can be expected to carry out their genocide with impunity and with total disregard of international laws.
