In the Gaza Strip, heavy Israeli bombardment struck extensively, encompassing land, air, and sea assaults. The southern region bore the brunt, particularly Khan Younis and Rafah city. Overnight, Rafah’s central area and Shaboura refugee camp faced bombings, resulting in 23 fatalities, including four children, and over 10 critically injured. The most devastating impact occurred in Khan Younis, specifically the western side, which was previously designated a ‘safe zone’ for displaced people by Israel, and has faced repeated targeting. Intense strikes near Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital reveal a concerning pattern, with tanks and armoured vehicles deployed on the main road leading to the medical facility.

The lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague drew criticism from the United States on Wednesday. White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby dismissed the submission, labelling it as meritless, counterproductive, and lacking any factual basis. Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara criticizes John Kirby’s brief dismissal of South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, emphasizing the thoroughness of the 84-page document. Marwan perceives Kirby’s response as disrespectful and lacking diplomatic courtesy, asserting that South Africa and the academic community deserve more acknowledgement. Marwan also questions the US stance on the Gaza death toll, expressing concerns about the intent behind […]

Raids continued across the occupied West Bank since last night and into early this morning. In Tulkarem, specifically in the Nur Shams refugee camp, a raid has persisted for 26 hours. The locals report a significant number of arrests, describing them as “massive,” though an exact count remains unconfirmed. Reports indicate armed confrontations between Palestinian fighters and the occupation forces in Tulkarem, further escalating the situation. Another raid in Tubas has resulted in the death of one Palestinian during gunfights, as the occupation forces label it an arrest operation. Ongoing raids are being monitored in Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, and Bethlehem, reflecting the sustained Israeli military activity since October 7. The […]
Sultan Barakat, a professor of public policy at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, says that the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice will be “the most important instrument of international pressure against Israel”. “The way that South Africa has addressed this issue is that they are purely focused on the fact that Israel, by December 29 when the case was filed, has murdered more than 20,000 civilians without achieving any clear goal, in that they seem to be pursuing a genocide against the Palestinian people and specifically within Gaza,” Barakat said. The ICJ works slightly differently from the International Criminal Court in that […]
As the world was celebrating a new year with fireworks and festivities, Palestinians in Gaza were running for their lives and looking for places to shelter. Overnight, the central area of the Gaza Strip has been pounded repeatedly. We’re looking at an area that was designated a safe zone for Palestinians to evacuate to. There are reports of five people killed. As of now, we’re looking at more than 85 percent of the population displaced. Most of them are living in tents [in Rafah]. We are seeing people queue for long hours [for food and essentials] in Rafah – the centres are very small compared with the number of who […]
