After 35 years of defending Palestinian children's rights, we are not able to overcome operational challenges resulting from Israel's targeted criminalization of Palestinian human rights organizations.

"Those attending should be aware that showing support for a proscribed organisation is an offence under the Terrorism Act, and we will not hesitate to act where the law is broken," said commander Claire Smart.

Haitham al-Zayed, displaced from Shallal al-Auja, recalls his childhood memories of swimming in al-Auja's lush pools, now occupied by settlers celebrating their presence during Passover.

Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah stated that negotiating with Israel is wrong and warned of internal division, reflecting the sentiments of many Lebanese citizens who oppose such talks.

Taybeh, a small hilltop town in the heart of the West Bank, is one of the oldest Christian communities in the world, now feeling under siege and fighting for its existence.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Al-Haq, and Al Mezan Center for Human Rights are attempting to subpoena arms export documents to assess the legality of permits granted to Israel.

Ben-Gvir's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is considered a violation of the status quo agreement and a desecration of its sanctity, according to Jordan's Foreign Ministry.

For a mayor who has become so closely associated with a foreign policy conflict thousands of miles away, Zohran Mamdani does relatively little to directly address it.

The data, painstakingly gathered and verified by ELSC, reveals the operation of a system, not something which is centrally directed, of course but something which is organic, multipolar, self-reinforcing and mutually exacerbating. A system which seeks to raise intolerably the personal cost to any individual who speaks or acts in light of their conscience seeks to reduce civil society's capacity to call out genocide and to demand at the same time robust action by our governments.

While the world's attention is on the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, the Israeli military has placed the West Bank under a functional lockdown. Checkpoints in and out of most major cities are closed, and Palestinians have been left to look for other travel arrangements.

Many Israelis see international condemnation as evidence of anti-Semitism, rather than a verdict on their government's actions.

The international criticism that met the announcement was hardly new.
