Israel has blocked 4000 pallets of shelter materials since the ceasefire, allowing only a trickle of tents and tarpaulins, which helped only 88,000 of the 1.3 million Palestinians in Gaza who desperately need cover from a brutal winter storm.

Iceland joins the boycott
Iceland joins a growing list of countries boycotting Eurovision over Israel's participation
This decision follows similar moves by Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Slovenia. These countries have withdrawn after organizers refused to expel Israel over its actions in Gaza.

Yesterday, I visited my constituent, Amu Gib, who has been detained in HMP Bronzefield without trial since July.
Amu is now on Day 39 of their hunger strike, yet there is complete silence across our mainstream media.
This is an emergency. They must be granted bail, now.

Israel debates a death penalty bill for Palestinian prisoners, but as Abdel Nasser Ferwana shows, executions have been routine for decades. The bill would simply formalize what already exists: an old policy of killing prisoners outside any legal framework

Israel has issued an expropriation order to seize the archaeological site of Sebastia, completing years of “biblical” settlement schemes.
As Dania Shti shows, this takeover is part of an effort to weaponize archaeology to erase Palestinian heritage.

<p>The death toll in Gaza since the ceasefire began on 10 October has thus risen to 383 people.</p>
<p>Jabalia is one of several residential neighbourhoods in Gaza that fall under the "Green Zone" – where the Israeli army is still stationed – and are facing systematic demolition, in violation of the ceasefire.</p>
