Ceasefire

Israel’s Repeated Ceasefire Violations Are Part Of Its Strategy

October 30, 2025 Tareq S. Hajjaj, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The Israeli army announced that a soldier in Rafah had been killed by gunfire on Tuesday. Before the source of the gunfire could be confirmed, Netanyahu blamed it on Hamas, and gave the order for the army to launch “powerful strikes” on Gaza. The resumption of the Israeli bombing campaign killed over 100 people, 46 of whom were children, and 20 of whom were women, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health on Wednesday. Hamas released a statement saying it had nothing to do with the incident and that it remained fully committed to the ceasefire agreement in all areas. Nevertheless, the Israeli army carried out the attacks across several locations in Gaza. An army statement later said that Israeli forces had struck “30 terrorists holding command positions” in the Strip.

The Rise Of Global Boycotts Against Israel’s Genocide In Gaza

October 28, 2025 Alia Chughtai, Al Jazeera. , , ,
Protests to end Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians are getting louder and larger. Seeing the livestreamed genocide Israel perpetrated in Gaza has had an effect globally, with the call to boycott Israel at an all-time high. Quiet boycotts, which started in supermarkets nearly two decades ago, have turned into widely used apps that help millions make choices about purchases. Campus protests and encampments in the US and Canada have led some major education institutions to cut ties with Israeli counterparts, while investments into Israel have dipped, and some of the world’s largest economies have recognised Palestine as a state.

Veterans Condemn Israel’s Blatant Violations Of Gaza Ceasefire

October 27, 2025 Veterans for Peace, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Veterans For Peace unequivocally condemns Israel’s gross violations of the ceasefire in Gaza. We demand that the Trump administration pressure Israel to abide by the ceasefire agreement: to end all attacks on Gazans; and to allow abundant aid (at least 600 trucks a day) into Gaza. We call upon the President and U.S. Congress to cut off all military aid to Israel.     We further call on U.S. political leaders to secure the freedom of Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen who was kidnapped from his bed while visiting family in the West Bank last February, and whom Israel continues to hold in a notorious torture prison.   Israel’s gross violations of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, including aerial bombing and artillery barrages, have killed over 100 Palestinians – including many children – in the first two-and-a-half weeks of the “ceasefire,” causing fear and panic among Gaza’s civilian population.

Four Militias Backed By Israel, Arab States Plan ‘Project New Gaza’

October 27, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israel is backing four militias as part of a project to oust Hamas and create a “new Gaza,” according to a report released by Sky News on 25 October. These armed groups – which throughout the war have been engaged in hostilities against Hamas on behalf of Israel – are currently operating along the Yellow Line of Washington’s ceasefire map, in Israeli-held territory. "We have an official project - me, [Yasser] Abu Shabab, [Rami] Khalas, and [Ashraf] al Mansi," militia leader Hossam al-Astal, a Palestinian Bedouin with links to the Palestinian Authority (PA), told Sky News. "We are all for ‘The New Gaza.’ Soon we will achieve full control of the Gaza Strip and will gather under one umbrella,” he added. According to footage which was geolocated by Sky News, the headquarters of Astal’s militia in south Gaza’s Khan Yunis lies on a military road less than 700 meters from an Israeli army outpost.

Trump’s Push To Uphold Gaza Ceasefire Is Creating A Political Crisis In Israel

October 25, 2025 Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The succession of U.S. officials arriving in Tel Aviv over the week has fueled consternation in Israeli political circles as Washington ups the pressure on Israel to stick to U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan. Israeli political circles have bristled at having to bend to the American President’s will, as opposition use the opportunity to lambast Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for turning Israel into a “vassal” of the United States. Virtually all of Trump’s inner circle has made the rounds in Tel Aviv throughout the past week, including U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, Vice President JD Vance, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

A Tale Of Two Ceasefires: Gaza And DRC

October 25, 2025 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Vice President JD Vance is in Israel, reportedly to see if he can salvage the ceasefire that began on October 10. Hamas has given Israel all 20 living hostages, and turned over the bodies of 13 of 28 dead ones. It says that retrieving the rest is going slowly because of the destruction it has to work around. Israeli forces have largely withdrawn to the negotiated yellow line, which means they still control 58% of Gaza by land area, and according to news reports, they are regularly killing Palestinians who get too close to that yellow line. The number of aid trucks that has entered Gaza since the ceasefire took effect is 85% lower than the negotiated cap, and Israel is still bombing Gaza, claiming it’s responding to lingering armed attacks.

Palestinian NGOs Network Affirms Inalienable Rights

October 24, 2025 PNGO Portal. , , , ,
PNGO confirms that despite the ceasefire in Gaza, which was welcomed by all parties, the Israeli occupation and the colonizing settlers are escalating their grave violations against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where 88 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the ceasefire, and still the aid entering the Gaza Strip has not risen to the level to address the repercussions of the humanitarian catastrophe in quantity and quality, in addition these systematic attacks by the Israeli occupation forces and its colonizing settlers against the Palestinians in the West Bank are resulting in the denial of Palestinian farmers to harvest their olives, which constitutes a continuation of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Why The Gaza Tribunal Is Still Needed After Trump’s Ceasefire

October 22, 2025 Richard Falk, Middle East Eye. , , , , ,
The Gaza Tribunal, a people's tribunal, was formed a year ago in response to the failure of the established world order of sovereign states and international institutions to stop what experts and ordinary people increasingly recognised as genocide in Gaza. The Gaza Tribunal will hold its final session from 23-26 October 2025 at Istanbul University. Our initiative was inspired by an earlier civil society effort during the Vietnam War, when leading public intellectuals Bertrand Russell and Jean-Paul Sartre established the Russell Tribunal, which held hearings in 1966 and 1967.

A Return To The Balfour Declaration

October 20, 2025 As'Ad Abukhalil, Consortium News. , , , , ,
The highly touted picture of “Middle East peace” is quite deceptive. Nobody in the region truly believes that peace is at hand, that there is a credible path to peace, or that the thorny issues of the Arab-Israeli conflict have been resolved. It is not the first time that a U.S. president congratulates himself — and is congratulated by Western and Middle Eastern parties — for reaching a settlement of the conflict. Jimmy Carter was hailed when he presided over the Camp David Accords — it was supposed to end the conflict, but in reality it gave Israel a free hand to attack any combination of Arab countries and the Palestinians because the major Arab military force was neutralized (through bribes to the ruling despot and the military brass).

Trump Threatens To ‘Kill’ Hamas Over Execution Of Israeli-Backed Gangs

October 19, 2025 People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump threatened late Thursday, October 16, that he would endorse a military action against Hamas if it continues to target local gangs hired by Israel in the besieged Gaza strip.  “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.  Trump’s stern warning was proclaimed, days after he was asked by reporters onboard Air Force One about the executions of who they considered Hamas’ rivals, suggesting they are a sign that Hamas is reestablishing its authority in the besieged Gaza Strip. The answer of the US president then was totally contradictory to his Thursday post on Truth Social, because he confirmed to reporters that the US had given approval to the Palestinian group to do so “for a period of time” to eradicate crimes, and stop problems. 

Recognizing Palestinian Statehood Is The Floor

October 19, 2025 Hend Salama Abo Helow, Truthout. , , , , ,
Since I first opened my eyes to this world as a third-generation refugee, I was taught that the notorious Balfour Declaration had brought upon us this long, unrelenting history of suffering. Issued in 1917, the statement declared the British government’s support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. It blatantly denied our existence in our own homeland, instead granting the Jewish people the right to establish their nation on land that is ours — under cover of the myth of “a land without a people for a people without a land.” Our homeland, with its people, was then presented on a gilded plate to Zionist militias and, eventually, the state of Israel, both of which wasted no time in massacring and displacing the Indigenous population during the Nakba and beyond.

Gaza, Gas, And The Real Estate Empire Behind Trump’s Deal

October 17, 2025 Mnar Adley, Mintpress News. , , , , ,
As the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas comes into effect, two million Gazans are returning to what is left of their homes. Part of the deal includes a vast prisoner swap, that sees the remaining 20 Israelis captured on October 7, 2023, going back to their homeland, and almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners being released from Israeli jails. A further 10,000 remain behind bars, including top political prisoners, such as Marwan Barghouti. Israel has also stated that it will not return the remains of hundreds of Palestinians it is holding, sparking intense speculation as to what those corpses would reveal. Joining the Behind the Headlines show & MintCast Podcast to discuss the ceasefire, and the increasingly pro-Israel tone of our corporate media, is Aaron Maté.

Israel Violates Ceasefire With Deadly Attacks On Palestinians In Gaza

October 14, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The Israeli army killed several Palestinians in Gaza on 14 October despite the new ceasefire agreement which has taken effect across the strip. In total, nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli ceasefire violations, Palestinian media reports said. Three bodies arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, while another six arrived at Gaza City’s Baptist hospital. An Israeli quadcopter targeted civilians in Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighborhood while they were inspecting their homes. Israeli artillery also shelled areas in Jabalia and Al-Tarans, accompanied by gunfire. There was also gunfire reported in the Al-Tahlia area of Khan Yunis in south Gaza. Additionally, a group of young men near Al-Fukhari, east of Khan Yunis, was targeted by Israeli forces, resulting in one death.

Beware Trump’s Ceasefire Without United Nations Action

October 11, 2025 Nicolas J. S. Davies, Consortium News. , , , ,
As President Donald Trump surely intended, his “20-point Gaza plan” succeeded in upstaging calls by many other world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly for concrete, coordinated U.N.-led measures to force Israel to end its criminal genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestine. Trump’s White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sept. 29 coincided with the last day of the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, where Trump had met with eight Arab and Muslim leaders at the U.N. and won their support for a proposed plan for Gaza. In a textbook bait-and-switch, Trump then allowed the Israelis to significantly alter his plan before he unveiled it to the world at his meeting with Netanyahu, but pretended it was the same plan that the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE and other countries had endorsed.

Yemen’s Houthis To ‘Monitor’ Israel Compliance With Gaza Ceasefire Deal

October 11, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah, said on Thursday that Yemen will be “monitoring” Israel’s compliance with the Gaza ceasefire deal, warning Yemeni support for the Palestinians in Gaza would continue if the deal isn’t implemented. “We must be at the highest levels of caution and readiness, and continue the massive popular momentum with the Palestinian people, until we determine whether the agreement will be achieved, or whether we will continue our path of support and assistance to the Palestinian people,” al-Houthi said, according to Yemen’s SABA news agency. “We will remain vigilant, prepared, and monitor the progress of the agreement. Will it lead to an end to the aggression on the Gaza Strip and the entry of aid, food, medicine, and humanitarian needs to the Palestinian people?"
