Israeli aggression

Palestinian mourners have held a massive funeral procession for the victims of the latest Israeli raid on the occupied West Bank city of Nablus. At least 11 Palestinians, including a 14-year-old boy and a 66-year-old man, were killed in the attack. Over one-hundred others were injured, several of them critically. Palestinian officials have requested an emergency session of the UN Security Council on the Israeli massacre in Nablus. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement says two of its commanders are among those killed. The Israeli regime has intensified crackdown on Nablus and the nearby city of Jenin since the inauguration of the regime’s far-right cabinet led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. On Thursday, a 30-year-old Palestinian youth identified as Muhammad Nabil Fawzi Abu Sabah, succumbed to injuries he suffered during a recent Israeli raid of a refugee camp in Jenin. More than 60 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces across the West Bank so far this year.

Call for resistance

Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has strongly condemned the latest Israeli massacre of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus. Hezbollah said the occupation forces' cruel targeting of innocent civilians confirms that this enemy can only be deterred by the weapon of the resistance fighters. Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said the Israeli raid was part of the regime’s systematic terrorism. Hisham Qassem, a senior Hamas official, also denounced the brutal extrajudicial execution of Palestinians. He said the right response to Israel is the activation of resistance across the occupied territories and retaliatory attacks against the regime’s forces and settlers. Iran’s foreign ministry also called the raid a brutal and terrorist attack. It urged the international community to take immediate action to stop the Israeli genocide of Palestinians.

Russia-Ukraine war

Russia's UN ambassador says the West is ready not only to sacrifice Ukraine, but also to plunge the entire world into the abyss of war to defeat Russia. Vasily Nebenzya added that it is the collective West that is waging the war in Ukraine not Ukraine itself. He said the US and its European allies are ignoring "neo-Nazism" in Ukraine to maintain their global power. He also touched on the recent sanctions imposed on Moscow, saying they are actually hitting the developing world hardest. Nebenzya was addressing the opening of a UN General Assembly debate on a new resolution against Russia. The resolution, backed by Ukraine and its allies, is expected to call on Moscow to immediately and unconditionally pull its troops out of Ukraine. It will also urge a lasting and just peace agreement to the year-long war.
