400,000 Palestinians are threatened with death by hunger northern Gaza

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor warned that more than 400,000 Palestinians are threatened with death by hunger and thirst in northern Wadi Gaza.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor explained in a statement that about 200,000 Palestinians in the northern Gaza Governorate have been unable to obtain any food or drinking water for 10 full days. This is due to their siege inside their homes or the shelters they resort to, at a time when the occupation army continues its invasion of the area and committing murders that led to the martyrdom of more than 350 Palestinians, and the injury of hundreds of others, in addition to the widespread destruction of homes and residential buildings.

"Education": Palestinian: 11,406 students were martyred since the aggression

Jordanian Foreign Minister: The entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza has stopped since the end of September

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi announced that the Gaza Strip has not received any aid since September 30 due to the ongoing “Israeli” siege.

This came during a session titled "Global Diplomacy and the Future of Palestine", within the "Future of Palestine" conference, organized by Turkey, today, Tuesday, according to the "Anadolu" Agency.

Hundreds of demonstrators close the "New York Stock Exchange" in condemnation of the war of extermination on Gaza

New York City witnessed mass demonstrations in front of the "New York Stock Exchange" this morning, Tuesday, where hundreds of demonstrators closed the entrance to the stock exchange, demanding an end to the sale of weapons to the occupying state.

The demonstrators adopted slogans denouncing American support for the occupation, calling for directing aid to the victims of Hurricane "Milton" instead of supporting the war of extermination in Gaza.

On October 8, 2024, when the Zionists celebrate the so-called biblical "Days of Repentance", as part of the celebrations of the new Jewish year that last from October 4 to 25, a Jewish settler wearing priestly clothes stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyard and performed the entire "Priest's Blessings Prayer".

He was joined - as part of the daily storming of the mosque during the Jewish holiday celebrations - by rabbis who performed the ritual of prostration (epic prostration) over the eastern courtyard of "Al-Aqsa" under the auspices of the occupation police, to consecrate the land of the Al-Aqsa Mosque as a "temple".

This dangerous development has prompted researchers in Al-Aqsa Mosque affairs to warn that it may be part of a Zionist plan to establish that this eastern area of ​​the mosque is a Jewish temple, in preparation for building the alleged "temple", and imposing the spatial division of "Al-Aqsa"; Any place for Jews and another for Muslims, after they imposed the temporal division by allowing Zionists to enter and pray on certain days.

Religious victory after military failure

The danger of what is happening is that the religious Zionist movement currently ruling "Israel" and directly represented by the Ministers of Security Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Bezalel Smotrich, seeks to exploit the current wars with the Palestinians, Lebanese, Iran and Yemen to impose a fait accompli in Al-Aqsa Mosque similar to what they did in the Ibrahimi Mosque, which they divided 63% for Jews and 37% for Muslims!

They want to try to snatch a religious victory and impose the Jewish identity on the Al-Aqsa Mosque after the military failure, exploiting the Zionist superiority, and the confusion and silence of the Arabs and Muslims on their massacres.

And to perform the ritual of collective prostration (epic prostration) to express their return to the place of the alleged "temple".

During their current holidays that coincide with October, the settlers and Zionist movements began to intensify their storming of the mosque and praying in its courtyard, violating an old agreement signed in 1976 by Moshe Dayan with the imams of Al-Aqsa that prohibits Jews from praying inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque and allows them to visit only.

Since the Battle of “Sword of Jerusalem” in 2021 and Hamas’s bombing of Jerusalem for the first time in solidarity with Muslims against the settlers’ and occupation’s attacks on worshipers and the people of Jerusalem, the Zionists began to introduce new tools to the Al-Aqsa courtyard to impose this fait accompli.

This included blowing the biblical trumpet, which they did (for the fourth year in a row) on October 3, 2024, entering the courtyard of the mosque in the clothes of the priests of the Temple (responsible for slaughtering the sacrifices) and performing loud prayers, and the epic prostration that only takes place inside the temples and the Temple, coinciding with the celebrations of the beginning of the new Jewish Hebrew year.

This is a radical change in the way the raids are carried out, which now include performing prayers and religious rituals in full on a daily basis, after previously only performing oral prayers, according to Dr. Abdullah Marouf, Professor of Jerusalem Studies and former Media and Public Relations Officer at Al-Aqsa Mosque.

But what is new this year is the attempt by the Temple groups and religious Zionism to make the war an opportunity to decide control and impose sovereignty over Al-Aqsa, exploiting the silence of Arabs and Muslims. This is supported by the intentions announced by the Prime Minister of the occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, to create a new Middle East with a Jewish identity, as he spoke within two weeks about “pursuing the enemies and eliminating them as written in the Torah,” and that “the time of the Messiah has come to establish the Kingdom of the Jews,” and he is telling the “Israelis” that they will be victorious, and that he will fulfill “Isaiah’s prophecy,” in destroying the Palestinians and Arabs and describing them as “sons of darkness.”

The religious Zionism (Hardali Salvationism) movement, to which Ben Gvir and Smortish belong, adopts the most extreme interpretation of the idea of ​​Jewish salvation and the coming of the awaited savior, who will make the Jews leaders of the world, and build the temple on the ruins of “Al-Aqsa”.

These movements of revolutionary, corrective or secular religious Zionists see the building of the “Third Temple” as the key to solving all the problems and misfortunes of the Jews, especially religious and spiritual ones, and they see themselves as “God’s tool to bring the coming of the savior closer”.

Sheikh Kamal Al-Khatib described these Zionist attacks on “Al-Aqsa” as an attempt to exploit the opportunity in the current circumstances to establish facts on the ground of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and said: The blessed “Al-Aqsa” will remain the solid rock on which the centuries of the occupiers, colonizers, arrogant and conceited have been shattered and broken.

Referring to Netanyahu's plans and his extremist ministers, he said: Whoever thinks that in light of the euphoria and riot he is experiencing, he will make Al-Aqsa Mosque his golden opportunity to impose a new reality, is delusional; because the solidity of Al-Aqsa Mosque shatters the centuries of rioters and dispels their illusions and dreams.

Is Al-Aqsa in existential danger?

According to the assessment of the position of the International Jerusalem Foundation regarding Al-Aqsa Mosque as an existential battle, the occupation is trying after the "Al-Aqsa Flood" to respond - religiously - by re-crystallizing a strategy to decide on "Al-Aqsa", through religious substitution and an attempt to establish the alleged "temple"; which makes the battle of "Al-Aqsa" an existential battle.

The assessment prepared by researcher in Al-Aqsa affairs, Ziad Abhais, suggested that this season will be the fiercest season of aggression against "Al-Aqsa", and that the Zionist leadership will deal with the anniversary of the "Al-Aqsa Flood" and address the October 7 complex by violating "Al-Aqsa" and threatening it existentially through attempts to liquidate its identity and Judaize it; Therefore, he called for the necessity of pressuring the official Arab regime to obtain any positive position and stop the deterioration of its position ceilings.

The same thing is warned by Dr. Abdullah Marouf, Professor of Jerusalem Studies, stressing that the mosque is no longer only threatened in the usual season of attacks, but is now facing an existential danger that threatens its entire entity.

He explained, in an analysis published on the Al Jazeera website on September 19, 2024, that the far-right occupation government is trying to exploit the anniversary of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood” to pass political and religious messages that deepen the danger of Judaization, and the Jewish Heritage Ministry seeks to falsify the history of occupied Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque and promote Jewish myths, to consolidate the occupation’s narrative about the area of ​​the mosque and the history of Jerusalem as a whole.

On August 27, 2024, the ministry issued an official decision, the first of its kind, to finance the settlers’ storming of “Al-Aqsa” and promote Jewish heritage in a historical form devoid of Palestinian narratives, i.e. Judaizing these narratives.

On August 29, the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz confirmed that the occupation's plan to build the "Temple" and demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque is based on an extremist Jewish religious doctrine and the collusion of the extremist American evangelical movement with them. It confirmed that the extreme Zionist messianic right, which is currently in power in Netanyahu's government, is very serious about rebuilding the "Temple".

He continued: “We know for sure that the international community will not move, and that the Zionist entity is safe from punishment, but we will not tire of the call of our nation’s sons. This is the time to escalate the action, each with what he can.”

The movement’s leader concluded with a message addressed to the Arab and Islamic nations: “The important thing is that you do not get used to the scene, and do not get used to the massacres against your brothers, and the enemy should not think that the people of Gaza have no support!”

 A war crime with American cover

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the Rufaida School massacre, describing it as a war crime committed by the occupation army with American cover.

 Hamas confirmed, in a press statement today, Thursday, that this brutal massacre, which was committed at a time when the fascist occupation army is closing in on the northern Gaza Strip and is committing abuse and killing there. This massacre is an extension of the crimes of the Zionist occupation against our Palestinian people, over a whole year of genocide, during which the terrorist occupation army carried out the most heinous operations of deliberately targeting defenseless civilians, in residential neighborhoods, homes, shelters and displacement centers, with the support of the American administration, a partner in this genocide.

The movement added: Our Palestinian people ask: Where is the international community and the United Nations, and all its institutions, headed by the UN Security Council?! And where are the Arab and Islamic countries from taking immediate measures to stop the unprecedented violations of international and humanitarian laws by the fascist occupation?!

It stressed that the continuation of the massacres in full view of the world, without moving a finger, represents suspicious behavior that portends the complete collapse of the international system with all its foundations, laws and values.

Continued siege of Jabalia camp for the fifth day

The occupation continues its siege of Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip for the fifth consecutive day; which has caused a process of "genocide and ethnic cleansing" against the camp's residents. The siege has led to the destruction of homes, the killing of civilians and their forced displacement, and despite the intense pressure, citizens refuse to move to the southern Gaza Strip.

This comes in light of the occupation's attempts to put the health system in the northern Gaza Strip out of service, as it asked the "Kamal Adwan", "Indonesian" and "Al-Awda" hospitals to evacuate within 24 hours, which threatens the lives of thousands of patients.

"Kamal Adwan" Hospital appeals to stop the evacuation

A national training program is already up and running in a bid to further hone the digital skills of young people and state body employees alike, giving them the opportunity to keep abreast of the most cutting-edge digital technologies as they foray into the job market, the minister added.

Underlining the significance of such endeavors, the Kuwaiti minister expected a “new generation” of tech leaders to lead the digital transformation in Kuwait, ensuring that the nation is firmly placed on a path towards a “brighter and more prosperous” future, he emphasized.

Addressing the gathering, Country Manager for Google Cloud in Kuwait Shaymaa Alterkait said that the tech giant is “dedicated to fostering a thriving digital ecosystem,” allowing businesses, government entities and individuals to harness the “power of the cloud and AI” to drive economic gr owth. Google Cloud’s expanding network of 40 regions, 121 zones and 187 network edge locations represent the “backbone” of the global infrastructure, she highlighted, saying that Google has built a “ dedicated and uniquely skilled” team that will contribute towards Kuwait’s digital transformation. — KUNA

Kuwait mobilizes extensive support for Palestinians through KRCS initiatives

Zionist aggression ‘pushing entire region to regional war’

  The Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) emphasized on Monday that Kuwait, through its governmental and non-governmental institutions, has made every possible effort to support Palestinians in terms of relief, development, and health initiatives. KRCS also reaffirmed that the Palestinian cause remains at the forefront of its humanitarian agenda. In a statement to KUNA, KRCS Chairman Ambassador Khaled Al-Maghames highlighted Kuwait’s continued support for the Palestinian people in Gaza, in line with the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and emphasized the society’s backing of humanitarian initiatives aimed at alleviating the suffering of Palestinians.

He noted that the brutal occupation has caused significant damage in Gaza, causing the Palestinians to seek refuge in camps, and face severe shortage of food, water and medicine. He added that Kuwait has organized an airlift carrying essential aid, including medicine, medical supplies, ambulances, food, and tents, to meet the needs of the Palestinians. The KRCS has played a critical role by collecting donations through its website and working closely with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Health to stand with the Palestinians and provide support to the affected.

Al-Maghames explained that the society has deployed a field team within Gaza to distribute urgent aid, including food, medicine, flour, and meals to displaced Palestinians in shelters, underscoring the humanitarian organization’s commitment. The society also successfully facilitated the entry of the first Kuwaiti team and a fully equipped field hospital into the Rafah area of Gaza to provide medical services to the Palestinian people and train Kuwaiti medical personnel, while also caring for orphans there. Al-Maghames further noted that the society has rehabilitated and equipped the Noura Al-Kaabi Dialysis Center in northern Gaza and launched a clean drinking water project for the displaced in central and southern Gaza shelters.

Meanwhile, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi said on Monday that the Zionist aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, is pushing the entire region into “the abyss of a complete regional war.” This came in a press conference held by the Jordanian Minister after his meeting with Lebanese Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati where he affirmed that his visit to Lebanon came under the directive of King Abdullah II of Jordan, as a solidarity stand with Lebanon in facing the occupation aggression.

Al-Safadi expressed Jordan’s readiness to provide assistance to Lebanon in the aftermath of this brutal aggression, which is a clear violation of international law and of Lebanon’s sovereignty, stressing that they will continue their efforts and coordinate with the international community to do so as quickly and immediately as possible. He added that they support Lebanon’s efforts to activate its national institutions and decision, starting with the election of a President, as it is an important step in strengthening Lebanon’s position on an international level, noting the catastrophe and dangerous escalation that threatens the security of the entire region and international peace.

He stressed the need to stop this aggression immediately, the necessity of restraining occupation’s aggression and applying international law fully, pointing to the existing UN Security Council Resolution No 1701, which would achieve security and stability. In response to a question, Al-Safadi stated that Jordan will not be a battlefield for anyone, and will not allow anyone to penetrate the Kingdom’s airspace and sovereignty, threatening the security of its citizens.

Arab countries’ position was clear from the start in rejecting Zionist aggression against Gaza, explained Al-Safadi, adding that they warned of its consequences and that it would only lead to a dangerous regional escalation. The world has failed in protecting the region’s peace and security, limit the occupation’s crimes and apply international law and the UN Charter, remarked Al-Safadi, noting that Zionist occupation is responsible for the aggression and escalation in the region, and any new escalation will inevitably push the region towards a regional war. — KUNA

Namaa Charity Sponsors More Than 172 University Students

 Namaa Charity, affiliated with the Social Reform Society, announced the sponsorship and support of 172 university students from Rohingya, Palestinians, Syrians and Somalis studying in Turkey.

In this regard, the Director of Relief Department at Namaa Charity, Khaled Mubarak Al Shamri, said: Sponsoring university students is a cornerstone in helping young people complete their education, especially in countries suffering from crises and wars, noting that sponsoring these students is not limited to providing financial support only, but is a tributary to sustainable development, as it gives them an opportunity to overcome economic and social challenges, and contributes to building an educated society capable of facing difficulties.

Al Shamri added that sponsoring university students represents a new hope in the lives of young people who face serious humanitarian challenges in their countries, noting that by providing educational and financial support, we contribute to enabling these students to achieve their dreams and contribute to their communities.

Al-Shammari explained that the students were selected according to the most need, as Yemen suffers from serious humanitarian crises, where the people are exposed to many challenges, including poverty and lack of education; therefore, sponsoring university students provides them with the opportunity to build a better future and achieve sustainable development in their homeland. The people of Gaza also live in different humanitarian conditions under the burden of war, which leads to difficult circumstances that hinder education, and by sponsoring students, we can support them in their academic career and enable them to participate in building their homeland.
