US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

The Israeli military has launched new aerial and ground attacks on Gaza as the death toll from the nearly six months of onslaught on the besieged strip keeps climbing. Israeli warplanes have once again targeted the central city of Deir al-Balah as well as Rafah in the south. Civil defense crew and paramedics are struggling to recover the wounded from bombed-out buildings due to a lack of equipment. Heavy fighting is also underway in the vicinity of al-Shifa hospital, located in Gaza City. According to the Gaza health ministry, 82 people were killed in the last 24 hours, bringing the death toll to more than 32,700 since early October. Nearly 75,200 Palestinians have also been wounded. Most of the casualties are women and children.

Iran supports Palestinian cause

The Secretary General of Palestine’s Islamic Jihad Movement has hailed Iran’s support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Ziyad Nakhala noted that Iran has always sided with justice and defended the Palestinian nation since the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Nakhaleh made the comments after meeting Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in Tehran. The two sides discussed the latest developments in Gaza and the ongoing Israeli onslaught against civilians in the Palestinian territory. The Palestinian official had previously held talks with senior Iranian officials.

Pro-Palestine protest

In London, people have once again hit the streets to slam Israel’s atrocities in Gaza and call for an immediate halt to its genocidal onslaught against Palestinians. The protesters slammed the UK government’s support for Israel, and called for arms export to Tel Aviv to be immediately stopped. The participants marched from Russel Square to Trafalgar Square. The protests also coincided with the Palestine Land day, which marks the massacre of Palestinians protesting against Israel’s confiscation of their land in 1976. The UK has been witnessing regular nation-wide pro-Palestine demonstrations since early October. In one such rally, hundreds of Britons shut down arms factories across England and Scotland to condemn the country's complicity in the Israeli genocide against Palestinians.
