Regen sollte Leben spenden, Erneuerung bringen und Hoffnung wecken. In Gaza aber bedeutet er weiteres Leid.
Den vierten Winter in Folge müssen Hunderttausende vertriebene Palästinenserinnen und Palästinenser unter katastrophalen Bedingungen in provisorischen Zeltlagern ausharren, schutzlos Überschwemmungen, Krankheiten, Hunger und eisiger Kälte ausgeliefert.
In der vergangenen Nacht stürzten aufgeweichte Sandmassen in Deir al-Balah auf mehrere Zelte und begruben eine Mutter und ihre vier Kinder unter sich. Alle fünf kamen ums Leben. Zugleich setzten die Regenfälle mehr als 70.000 Zelte unter Wasser.
Die israelische Besatzungsmacht blockiert humanitäre Hilfslieferungen, verhindert den Wiederaufbau und hat lebenswichtige Infrastruktur, darunter die Entwässerungssysteme, systematisch zerstört. So hat sie den Winter für die Menschen in Gaza zu einer tödlichen Gefahr gemacht.
Dies ist keine Naturkatastrophe. Es ist eine von Menschen gemachte Katastrophe, darauf angelegt, das Leid der palästinensischen Bevölkerung zu verlängern und ihre Vertreibung aus der Heimat voranzutreiben.
Die israelische Besatzungsmacht trägt die volle Verantwortung für dieses anhaltende Verbrechen. Doch auch die internationale Gemeinschaft trägt Mitverantwortung: Sie hat ihm auch im vierten Jahr kein Ende gesetzt.
Wir appellieren eindringlich an die internationale Gemeinschaft, endlich ihrer Verantwortung gerecht zu werden, konkrete Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Menschen in Gaza zu ergreifen und nicht länger taub zu bleiben für den Ruf der Menschlichkeit.

there's an interview going around of John Mearsheimer with a German who says some incredibly depraved things about Palestinians, and I was fascinated by its conclusion, where she admits she's afraid of being critical of Israel because Zionists destroy people's lives for that:

Hi, I'm free.
Beat up but fine. Police stole my phone. Settlers punched me in the face several times, likely broke @AdeleShoko's wrist and gave @the_andrey_x a concussion. They threatened to shoot us with an assault rifle over and over.
Will tell the full story later, but for now, I just want to be clear about what happened. We witnessed two settlers locking a military gate in Umm al-Khair, blocking the only way to more than twenty Palestinian communities: trapping families inside, preventing students from reaching school and workers from their jobs, blocking delivery of food and access to ambulances, etc.
It's a crime that the military has this ability at all--but last night, we discovered that random settler terrorists also have the key. We confronted them and began asking questions on camera, and they nearly murdered us for it. When the police finally arrived, they arrested Andrey and me and charged us with assault.
The gate is still locked.

I’m deeply alarmed by Israeli actions in the occupied West Bank.
Settlements are expanding, evictions are unrelenting with Palestinians driven from their lands, settler violence is surging, Palestinian families are being assaulted.
We are seeing an increasingly coercive environment, with the spectre of ethnic cleansing looming ever larger.
This must end.
There can be no durable peace in the Middle East without the realization of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination.

🇵🇸 Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israeli forces have driven about 2,000 Palestinians from their homes in Hebron. The expulsions ethnically cleanse the neighborhood of two Palestinian gunmen who killed two Israeli soldiers at an illegal military checkpoint near the occupied city on Friday. Both gunmen were killed on Friday before the demolitions began.
Katz told the public broadcaster Kan that residents will not be allowed back until the army resolves "all the Hamas issues in Hebron." He offered no evidence of any Hamas presence there. The Hebron municipality says about 86 acres of the city have been destroyed or marked for demolition.
Israel carried out similar ethnic cleansing in the northern West Bank in early 2025, when its "Iron Wall" offensive emptied the Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps. More than 33,000 Palestinians from those camps are still displaced, according to the UN human rights office.
Troops have turned seized homes in southern Hebron into barracks and observation posts, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. At least 47 Palestinians have been detained since Friday, according to the Palestinian Prisoner's Society. Israel is set to close all West Bank crossings on Tuesday, election day.

I confirm the 2023 peace-treaty plan that was leaked to the FT.
What the draft envisaged:
- Russia withdraws its troops from most of the four oblasts it had just declared “annexed.”
- The new line of demarcation runs roughly along the line as of February 24, 2022: Crimea and the part of Donbas that Russia controlled before the full-scale invasion.
- Ukraine recognizes Russian control over Crimea.
- Ukraine grants Russia an unobstructed land corridor to Crimea.
- The ceasefire regime is guaranteed by NATO countries that provide protection for Ukraine.
- Russia begins negotiations with the US on its own security guarantees.
From my side, I’ll add a few insider details that few people know about.
The plan was discussed NOT ONLY by Rodnyansky: the key figure was ABRAMOVICH.
Moreover, Russia was ready to give up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as well. And the 300 billion in frozen assets was to go toward rebuilding all of Ukraine, that is, together with the occupied territories.
As for Crimea: we were not required to recognize it as Russian, only to recognize Russia’s control over it. In other words, we acknowledge that right now it is under Russian control (which is how it is). We were also required to adopt a law banning the return of Crimea by military means.
The land corridor to Crimea, a highway and a railway, was to be built at Russia’s expense. The hardest question was how to guard it. That is why the Russians were ready to give up Melitopol, but not Tokmak: they feared we would cut the corridor with artillery.
Zelensky rejected this proposal at the time.

B’Tselem urgently calls on governments and international institutions to act now, using all means available under international law, to prevent the forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians, collective punishment and extensive unlawful destruction in Hebron. Israeli leaders are openly declaring their intentions, and actions on the ground have already begun.
Following the shooting near Hebron on 23 October, in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz openly announced plans to forcibly displace Palestinian residents and carry out extensive destruction in the area.
In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared: “We will apply in the cities the successful offensive model we implemented in the refugee camps.”
That same model has already displaced more than 33,000 Palestinians in the northern West Bank. Now, Israeli leaders are threatening to bring the same mass displacement and destruction to Hebron.
Implementation has already begun. Israeli forces imposed a cordon on Hebron and Halhul, while the Civil Administration began demolishing Palestinian structures in the neighborhood of Farsh al-Hawa. At the same time, Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the establishment of four new settlement farming outposts in the South Hebron Hills.
Israeli leaders are openly announcing plans for collective punishment and acts that could constitute war crimes. These plans echo Israel’s devastating operations as part of the genocide in Gaza and mark a further escalation of its ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing as part of the Elimination Project in the West Bank: the systematic dismantling of Palestinian collective life while expanding settlements and entrenching permanent Israeli control.
The world cannot stand by as Israel continues its assault on Palestinians, waiting for yet more neighborhoods to be emptied and erased before intervening, despite what we have already witnessed in Gaza and the northern West Bank. Governments and international bodies must act now to prevent these crimes and protect Palestinian civilians.

Tonight, the Israeli army escorted settlers as they stormed the village of Deir Jarir in the West Bank.
The raid followed false accusations by settlers that Palestinians from the Christian village of Taybeh and Deir Jarir had stolen sheep.
Instead of arresting the settlers who attacked foreign diplomats in Taybeh yesterday, Israeli forces are escorting settlers as they enter Palestinian villages.

The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine nearly to death. Then the IDF shot a Palestinian bystander, and aimed their guns and shoved the paramedics who were trying to treat him. All of this documented.
Earlier today, IDF and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to an area adjacent to Khirbet Abu Falah, following a report of a violent confrontation. Foreign media personnel were present at the scene and a female journalist was injured during the confrontation. All details of the incident will be examined. Upon arriving to the scene, the forces acted to disperse the confrontation using riot dispersal means.
At another location where the confrontation took place, IDF soldiers initially fired warning shots into the air and then fired toward a suspect who ran toward them, carrying a sharp object and posed a threat to them. The confrontation was dispersed.
Israeli Police forces and forensic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District will enter the area with IDF security to collect findings and evidence, as well as take testimonies.
Violence against innocent civilians is a grave and intolerable phenomenon that requires a coordinated, multi-agency response. The IDF will work together with the relevant authorities to eradicate this phenomenon.
The IDF strongly condemns this incident. Attempts to incite friction between populations undermine security in the area.
