#gaza

One month after the ceremonial signing of the Charter of theBoard of Peace in Davos, Switzerland, Trumphas invited all its members to Washington, DC, to attend its inaugural meeting. The agenda for Thursday, February 19, is expected to focus on the future of the Gaza Strip beyond the current fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. A key point is raising funds for the reconstruction of Gaza and providing humanitarian aid.

With deep regret, I must say that I will not be attending the Berlinale,

Generators are now seen as the heartbeat of every hospital here [in Gaza] as they power ventilators, incubators, surgical theatres and dialysis machines. But now these lifelines are breaking down, said Abu Azzoum, with the lives of many critically ill patients in the intensive care unit hanging in the balance. The hospital lacks the fuel and essential spare parts needed to keep the generators going, Abu Azzoum added.

Israel has returned dozens of Palestinian bodies and human remains to Gaza without providing any information about their identities or how they were killed, according to Palestinian medical officials. The remains arrived at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Wednesday in plain white bags and are now being examined by forensic teams in an effort to identify them and provide answers to grieving families.

The war began the week of my 26th birthday. There was a lightness on that day, something born from what remained of our childhood. Sparks like candy, crackling in our mouths: colorful letters; laughter leaking out through voice notes; hearts adorning our text chats; an abundance of cake. But the days that followed are laid out like burnt matchsticks; once the first one was lit, the flames consumed the rest. The war spared nothing on the calendar; I have had no other birthdays since.

If peacefully demonstrating with an Israeli flag against a terrorist organisation seizing humanitarian aid, diverting it, and reselling it at exorbitant prices to Gazans is a crime -- then there is no need to look down on the mullahs, France is Iran!

With Washington's stance on Ukraine shifting, debates in Kyiv over Gaza continue to gain momentum. Kyiv, Ukraine At the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy voiced support for Israel, while First Lady Olena Zelenska said Ukrainians understand and share the pain of the Israeli people. Billboards across Kyiv lit up the capital with Israeli flags.

United States plans for Gaza amount to a theme park of dispossession for Palestinians, argues Drop Site News Middle East Editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Abdel Kouddous tells host Steve Clemons the draconian measures planned for the two million shell-shocked Palestinians in Gaza are an Orwellian labyrinth of biometrics, bureaucracy and a lab for government surveillance all meant to drive them out.

But in the United States, Israel's top ally, then-President Joe Biden cast doubt over the suffering and death count of Palestinians, as provided by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, to push back against calls for ending the brutal Israeli assault. list of 3 itemsend of list What they say to me is I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed. I'm sure innocents have been killed, and it's the price of waging a war, Biden said in October 2023.

Palestinians still waiting for the Red Cross to turn over the bodies either in Khan Younis or Gaza City. Israel has handed over the bodies of 15 Palestinians to the International Committee of the Red Cross in exchange for the final Israeli captive, whose remains were recovered by Israeli forces earlier this week, closing the chapter on this part of its more than two-year genocidal war on Gaza.

But her dreams of motherhood have been dashed by Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, which ravaged the enclave's healthcare system that saves lives, as well as the fertility centres that plan them. After years of trying, al-Kafarna and her husband turned to in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Their embryos were frozen in a fertility centre, waiting for the war to end, but the clinic was attacked by Israel.

One was on October 19, when Israeli forces bombed a café - a space to breathe away from scenes of destruction, a place to work or study with a reliable internet connection, a meeting point for displaced friends, a brief chance to enjoy the moment. I could have been there. I was juggling my studies ahead of a musculoskeletal exam for medical school, planning to go to the café for a stable internet connection. But something held me back. I stayed home.

A huge military operation to recover a single Israeli body exposes a grim moral paradox: Precise forensics for the occupier, and mass graves and lost identity for the occupied and bombarded. To retrieve one body, the Israeli military mobilised a fleet of tanks, drones, and what locals described as explosive robots. They turned a neighbourhood into a kill zone, dug up approximately 200 Palestinian graves, and left four civilians dead in their wake.

Here in Gaza, we joke about the master plan' [presented by Kushner]. We laugh at the fact that he promised us we'd be rich and be living the Riviera of the Middle East [] Actually, we're running away from our feelings because what's happening is out of our hands, out of the hands of ordinary people. Others make crazy, stupid decisions, and we pay the price.
