While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written human history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of Prophets David and Solomon , peace be upon them, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus, peace be upon him, started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

No matter what the Zionists and their supporters do, they cannot change the will of God, Who promised the Holy Land to Abraham and his descendants, basically the Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

No matter how much persecution and aggression the Zionists and their supporters inflict upon the Palestinian people, they will never be able to force them out of the Holy Land, which Allah, praise to Him, promised for them, and kept His promise ever since.

This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948.

The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Gaza death toll surges to 57,882 amid ongoing Israeli genocide

GAZA, July 12, 2025 (WAFA, PIC) –

At least 59 Palestinians were killed and 208 others were injured in the Gaza Strip over the last 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli genocide in the region, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.

The Ministry also confirmed that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli onslaught since October 2023 has risen to 57,882 fatalities, with an additional 138,095 people sustaining injuries. The majority of the victims are women and children.

According to the Ministry, the death toll since Israel’s resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 7,311, in addition to 26,045 others injured.

Emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews, according to the health authorities.

Israel's genocidal onslaught continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Gaza fishermen banned from the sea as Israel tightens blockade amid famine

Saturday 12-July-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Amid a worsening famine in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army has enforced a complete ban on fishing and sea access off Gaza’s coast, further deepening the humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing genocide.

On Saturday morning, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOFs) announced what they described as “strict security restrictions” in the maritime zone adjacent to the Gaza Strip, effectively barring all fishermen, swimmers, and divers from entering the sea. A spokesperson for the occupation army reaffirmed the naval blockade and warned that any individual venturing into the water would be considered a target.

Local sources reported that Palestinian fishermen had been confined to shallow waters just a few dozen meters from the shore, trying to catch fish to feed their families and earn a meager living as hunger intensifies. This latest restriction cuts off one of the last remaining lifelines for food in a besieged region already devastated by nearly twenty months of genocide and blockade.

The ban on sea access comes as the IOFs continue to limit the entry of humanitarian aid and essential goods into Gaza, exacerbating the collapse of basic services and pushing the population closer to the brink of mass starvation.

The Israeli occupation apartheid regime seizes land in Al-Khaleel (Hebron) to build road for the illegal Israeli settlers

Al-Khaleel (Hebron), July 12, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Israeli occupation forces have seized five dunums and 163 square meters of land on the outskirts of the towns of Sa’ir and Al-Shuyoukh in Al-Khaleel (Hebron) governorate, south of the occupied West Bank, citing “military and security purposes,” according to a military seizure order issued Saturday.

In a statement, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission said the order aims to construct a road for the illegal Israeli settlers, connecting the illegal settlements of Asfar and Pnei Kedem, both built on lands belonging to residents of Sa’ir and Al-Shuyoukh.

An analysis of the military order reveals that the Israeli authorities designated areas already declared as “state land” for military use, allocating four dunums and 888 square meters for the road, and adding another 275 square meters for the same purpose.

According to the Commission’s database, Israeli authorities have issued 40 military seizure orders since the start of 2025, 11 of which have established buffer zones around the illegal Israeli settlements. These zones are designed to prevent Palestinians from accessing large swaths of their land, under the pretext of proximity to settlements.

The statement noted that Israel has intensified its use of such orders in recent months to impose new facts on the ground, including the construction of military towers, roads for military and settler use, and buffer zones. These measures serve to expand and protect settlements at the expense of Palestinian land and livelihoods, severely restricting Palestinians’ ability to live, farm, and move freely in their own territory.

UNRWA warns of health disaster in Gaza as water shortages and overcrowding worsen

Saturday 12-July-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned of severe public health risks in the Gaza Strip due to a growing lack of clean water, soap, and adequate shelter—conditions made worse by summer heat and the ongoing Israeli blockade.

In a post on its official Twitter account Saturday, UNRWA called once again for the immediate lifting of the blockade and for permission to resume the delivery of essential humanitarian aid, including hygiene supplies. The agency reported that many Palestinian children are unable to bathe due to a complete absence of clean water and soap, leaving them highly vulnerable to disease.

“Overcrowded shelters and the summer heat in Gaza could lead to serious health consequences,” the agency stated, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.

The health system in Gaza is already in total collapse, with hospitals and clinics deliberately targeted by the Israeli occupation forces, and the entry of medical supplies, equipment, and fuel blocked since March. The remaining medical facilities are on the verge of shutting down due to the worsening fuel crisis, compounding the humanitarian catastrophe.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel—backed by the US—has carried out a campaign of genocide in Gaza marked by mass killings, starvation, destruction of infrastructure, and forced displacement. Israel continues to defy international calls and binding rulings by the International Court of Justice demanding an end to the atrocities.

To date, more than 195,000 Palestinians have been martyred or injured, most of them women and children. Over 10,000 remain missing, and hundreds of thousands are displaced, as famine and disease claim more lives daily—especially among children.

Euro-Med calls for prosecution of Trump and shutdown of GHF over aid massacres

Saturday 12-July-2025

GENEVA, (PIC)

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has condemned the Israeli-American Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and complicit governments, especially the US administration, for the ongoing deadly attacks on starving civilians at aid distribution sites in Gaza.

In a report on Saturday, Euro-Med called for an immediate halt to the Foundation’s operations and demands international investigations into alleged war crimes.

The report highlighted a recent massacre near Al-Shakoush neighoborhood of Rafa'h, where 30 Palestinians were killed and over 180 wounded after the closure of aid points forced thousands to crowd into one location amid an ongoing Israeli blockade.

Eyewitnesses and video evidence reviewed by Euro-Med revealed that private American security personnel working alongside Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters at civilians seeking food.

Euro-Med accused GHF of transforming humanitarian aid into a weapon of starvation and death under Israeli military control, replacing the previous UN aid mechanism.

Euro-Med called for criminal accountability for all involved, including US president Donald Trump, citing his administration’s support for the Israeli-led aid system and its broader military and diplomatic backing of Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Euro-Med stressed that the use of lethal force against civilians at aid sites violates international law and constitutes war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

Euro-Med urged the international community to impose sanctions on Israel, restore humanitarian access to Gaza, and hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable through courts and legal instruments.

A survivor of a recent massacre told a Euro-Med team how civilians hiding in a pit for safety near the aid site were attacked by tanks and snipers, with heavy gunfire killing many within an hour.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor warned that continuing to allow GHF to manage aid distribution endangers Palestinian lives and called for a return to neutral, UN-led humanitarian efforts to prevent further atrocities in Gaza.

Chanting slogans such as “Freedom for Palestine” and “Netanyahu is a murderer,” demonstrators marched from Odenplan toward the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, demanding a firmer stance against Israel’s actions.

Thousands of Moroccans rally for Gaza in weekly protests against Israeli genocide

Saturday 12-July-2025

RABAT, (PIC)

For the 84th consecutive week, thousands of Moroccans took to the streets across the country on Friday to express their unwavering support for Gaza and the Palestinian cause, condemning the ongoing Israeli genocide in the besieged enclave.

The demonstrations followed Friday prayers in multiple cities, including Al-Qasr Al-Kabeer, Al-Madiq, Fez, Meknes, Kenitra, Berkane, Oujda, Midelt, and Tinghir. The protests were organized in response to a call by the Moroccan Committee for the Support of the Nation’s Causes, a non-governmental group advocating for solidarity with Palestine.

Participants held signs that read, “Palestine is always in our hearts, not just one day” and “Day of rage against the displacement and genocide of Palestinians.” Protesters demanded an urgent increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza, where famine is sweeping through the population under the weight of the Israeli blockade.

The rallies were held under the slogan “Victory is from Allah alone” and drew large crowds from various segments of Moroccan society, including activists, students, and religious groups.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel—backed unconditionally by the US—has carried out a genocidal war in Gaza, resulting in over 195,000 Palestinians martyred or wounded, the majority of them children and women. More than 11,000 people remain missing, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced as the blockade has triggered a famine that continues to claim lives.

UK labor MPs urge immediate recognition of Palestine, condemn Israel’s forced displacement plans

RAMALLAH, July 11, 2025 (WAFA) – 

Dozens of Labor Party MPs have called on the British government to immediately recognize the State of Palestine and take concrete action to prevent Israel from forcibly displacing the people of the Gaza Strip.

In a letter addressed to Foreign Secretary David Lammy, around 60 Labor MPs urged the UK to intervene urgently to stop Israel’s plan to forcibly relocate residents of Rafa'h in southern Gaza and to move forward with the official recognition of Palestine.

The MPs’ appeal comes in response to recent statements by Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, who outlined a proposal to forcibly move all Palestinians in Gaza to a camp on the ruins of Rafah, before ultimately expelling them from the enclave

The British MPs considered the plans announced by Katz to mean that the Gaza Strip is being subjected to "ethnic cleansing, citing Israeli human rights attorney Michael Sfard, who described the plan as an “operational blueprint for committing crimes against humanity.”

===============================================================================================================================

Editorial Notes about terms & names of people and places:

1. Names of people and places have been standardized to match standard Arabic grammatical rules.

2. Underlined letters and letters preceded by an apostrophe are references to Arabic letter sounds, which does not exist in the English alphabet.

3. The English letter i is equivalent to the Arabic short vowel known as kasra, as in Ibraheem and Qasim as well as in the English words sit and bit. So, it is incorrect to use it as a long vowel for such Arabic names as Jameel and Jibreel.

4. The English letter e is equivalent to the Arabi short vowel known as fat'ha, as in A'hmed and Mu'hammed.

5. It is more accurate to refer to the land-grabbing Israelis, who establish illegal settlements in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, as illegal Israeli settlers, than referring to them as colonists.

The term colony is a reference to a large entity or a country, such as American states before independence. It was also a reference to Egypt, and India, when they were British colonies.

In addition, the term "colony" represents a positive nostalgic theme, in the minds of native speakers of English, particularly in America and Britain.

6. It is more accurate to use the verbs "abduct" and "kidnap" than the verbs "detain" and "arrest," in reference to taking Palestinian citizens by force to prisons and interrogation centers, by Israeli occupation regime soldiers. This is because the presence of the Israeli occupation regime forces is illegal in the Palestinian territories, and they have no jurisdiction over the Palestinian people.
