"Soumaya verticalSoumaya Ghannoushi a writer and expert in Middle East politics highlights the stark contrast between the public celebration surrounding the release of Israeli captives and the near silence that accompanied the release of nearly two thousand Palestinian prisoners. For every Israeli name that received recognition she notes hundreds of Palestinian names were erased. Ghannoushi also emphasises that Israel holds thousands of prisoners and hundreds of bodies in morgues denying families the basic right to mourn. In Palestine prison isnt just a place. Its a shadow that stalks a life"

"Speaking to Fox News on Sunday US President Donald Trump said he had initially considered a range of plans to redevelop Gaza calling the new development "Freedom Place". These also included potential plans to relocate some Palestinians elsewhere with the president noting that Jordan and Egypt have "a lot of land". Trump has now distanced himself from these plans instead embracing a new plan for a "Board of Peace" to govern a postwar Gaza with Palestinians being "encouraged to stay" according to the text of his 20-point plan. Yet hopes for this future remain fragile following clashes after"

"In a video posted on his X account UK Member of Parliament Ayoub Khan slams Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other MPs for accusing Birmingham police of antisemitism after they banned Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending a game in the city next month. Contrary to Keir Starmers disgraceful comment labelling our West Midlands police and the safety advisory group as antisemitic this was never about religion it was always about hooligans he says. Starmer is pushing to overturn the ban which police say they imposed after assessing the fixture as high-risk citing previous violent incidents"

Fourteen-year-old Amer Rabee activist Awdah al-Hathaleen and 42-year-old Majed Mohammad Dawood were all killed in recent months. Human-rights groups say this isnt random - its state-sanctioned terror aimed at erasing Palestinians from their land"

It ruled that Israel must agree to and facilitate by all means at its disposal relief schemes for the people of Gaza and not impede them. The court also ruled that Israel"
