Israeli extremist minister Ben-Gvir authored a children’s book promoting execution & harsh imprisonment of Palestinian "terrorists"—& plans to personally distribute it in Israeli schools.
When hatred & terrorism are packaged as lessons for children, what exactly is being taught?

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Condemns Organized Settler Terrorism as Part of a Genocidal War Against the Palestinian People
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine strongly condemns the calculated and organized attacks carried out yesterday by settler militias across various cities, villages, and towns in the occupied West Bank. These assaults reflect a dangerous escalation in systematic and widespread settler terrorism, supported and coordinated by the Israeli occupation authorities and army.
The Ministry noted that settlers’ assaults on villages; including the burning of homes and property, terrorizing and killing of civilians, and the targeting of vital roads, junctions, and main streets during Eid al-Fitr, alongside decisions of the Israeli occupation authorities to continue their genocidal war against our people in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as the ongoing closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and other Christian and Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem, constitute a coordinated strategy across the occupation’s apparatus. These measures are part of deliberate tactics aimed at deepening the genocidal war through the settler colonial regime, all of which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The Ministry expressed its appreciation for the positions of countries that have condemned these crimes and called on the international community to take concrete measures rather than limiting itself to statements. It urged the fulfillment of international responsibilities and obligations in implementing UN resolutions, disarming settlers, and holding them accountable for acts of terrorism, including insisting them on international terrorism lists, imposing travel bans, freezing their funds and assets, and targeting the financial networks and goods associated with settlements.
The Ministry affirmed its continued diplomatic efforts to provide international protection for the Palestinian people, activate international mechanisms endorsed by the international system, and hold the Israeli colonial regime as a whole, along with all those responsible, accountable in order to deter the commission of such crimes. It added that this comes amid what it described as Israel’s exploitation of international preoccupation with the ongoing Israeli-American-Iranian conflict.
Israel is opening one way only for people from Gaza to get out and never come back again. Israel allowed the food to be stolen or kept aside and not delivered to the starving children in Gaza. Israel is not doing what it should be doing as the person responsible for the genocide.
في كلمتي اليوم في جدة خلال الاجتماع الاستثنائي للجنة التنفيذية مفتوح العضوية لـمنظمة التعاون الإسلامي، أكدت خطورة المرحلة الراهنة في ظل التصعيد الإسرائيلي وفرض أمر واقع غير قانوني عبر توسيع الاستعمار والضم في الضفة الغربية بما فيها القدس، بما يهدد بتقويض فرص الحل العادل.

"India's historical experience, its moral authority and its commitment to human rights should empower it to speak, advocate and act in favour of justice - without delay or hesitation. The expectation is not of partisanship in this conflict, of choosing between Israel and Palestine. The expectation is of principled leadership, consistent with the values that have long guided India, our nation, and on which its freedom movement was anchored."
CPP Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi ji's column in The Hindu sheds light on 'India's muted voice, its detachment with Palestine.'
🇱🇺🇵🇸 We welcome the courageous announcement by Luxembourg’s PM Luc Frieden and FM Xavier Bettel of their intention to recognize the State of Palestine; a principled stand for justice, peace, and the two-state solution.

This is a settler arson attack in the city of Al Bireh in the occupied West Bank last night. Israel’s genocidal aggression on the Palestinian people in #Gaza and Israel’s sponsored settler terrorism in the #WestBank have the same goal: either Palestinians are expelled from their land or exterminated. This 76-year-old ethnic cleansing campaign must end.
Sri Lanka urges an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, unrestricted humanitarian access, and a two-state solution based on 1967 borders. - Sri Lanka’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vijitha Herath
#LKA#Gaza#Lebanon#SriLanka#MiddleEast
Sri Lanka’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vijitha Herath, has reiterated the country's deep concern over the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the broader impact of the Middle East conflict, particularly in Lebanon. Speaking at an interaction with the Colombo-based Diplomatic Corps at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Herath called for an immediate ceasefire and urgent humanitarian assistance to those affected by the ongoing violence.
“The humanitarian situation in Gaza is turning more dire by the day, and recent developments in Lebanon are equally alarming,” the Minister stated. He emphasized that Sri Lanka strongly advocates for unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza and a sustainable resolution to the conflict.
The Minister underscored the importance of a two-state solution, based on the 1967 borders, in accordance with relevant United Nations resolutions. “We firmly believe that a lasting solution must include the establishment of an independent, sovereign, and viable State of Palestine, while ensuring the security of Israel,” he said.
I bid farewell to my friend the Ambassador of #Palestine Dr.Zuhair M.H. Zaid at dinner last evening. I admired the courage and the resilience of the Palestinian people in the midst of their darkest times. Sri Lanka has always been, and will continue to be a friend of the Palestinian people. We will stand by them, through thick and thin for as long as it takes for them to achieve a just, equitable and lasting solution to their legitimate goal of peaceful statehood @MFA_SriLanka
