Barbaric IsrAliens are Silencing the Palestinian Press by Murdering, Injuring and Permanently Disabling Journalists

From [HERE] The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) said on Saturday that Israel is “implementing a policy of “silencing the press” to “undermine the Palestinian narrative” and “prevent the documentation of crimes.”

In a statement, the Freedoms Committee of the syndicate said, “The Israeli occupation shifted from a policy of restricting journalistic work to a policy of neutralising the press through deadly force, with the aim of silencing witnesses, preventing the documentation of crimes, and undermining the Palestinian narrative on the ground.”

By the end of November 2025, at least 76 Palestinian journalists had been killed and wounded by Israel, in a “dangerous indicator of the escalating targeting policy” pursued by Israeli occupation authorities.

“Journalists are no longer merely ‘potential targets’, but rather confirmed and frequent targets,” the committee said.

According to the Gaza Government Media Office, Israeli forces have killed at least 257 Palestinian journalists in its genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023.

Muhammad al-Lahham, head of the Committee for Freedoms at the syndicate, said the scale and consistency of the attacks amount to international crimes.

The attacks in the past year, he said, “constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity, and represent a systematic targeting of a protected group, journalists, within the framework of an official policy to silence the media by force”.

Al-Lahham rejected claims that journalists had been caught accidentally in hostilities, describing instead a deliberate operational logic. What Israel was enforcing, he said, was a “field doctrine based on the principle of ‘no witnesses, no narrative, no image'”.

In December, a report by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) found that Israel killed more journalists in 2025 than any other country. It was the third year running that Israel was named the top killer of journalists by the NGO.

Nearly 300 journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza in 26 months of genocidal war – or about 12 journalists every month – according to a tally by Shireen.ps, a monitoring website named after Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot dead by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank in 2022.

Rules for Thee, Force for Me: America’s Doctrine of Leader-Capture

From [HERE] Here we are watching the rules (for thee but not me) based order perform its favorite magic trick, of turning performative flexing of might into virtue by simply narrating it as law.

The United States has kidnapped Venezuela’s sitting president, Nicolás Maduro, along with his wife, via an operation carried out by Delta Forces and removed them from the country. The choreography matters. The message matters more: we can reach into your capital, take your head of state, and call it “justice.” But hey, we’ll own that it’s about oil and minerals in the next breath, so at least we are honest bandits

And the world is meant to accept it because the banner says narco-terror and the megaphone says freedom.

But strip the branding off and you’re left with something brutally simple: a doctrine of unilateral capture, the right claimed by one state to arrest another state’s leader by force, without a UN mandate, and without an authorization of war by any recognized international mechanism. This sets an extremely dangerous precedent and raises serious questions under the UN Charter.

And that’s the point isn’t it?

Because rules for thee but not for me, isn’t a slogan anymore. It’s long established Imperial hypocrisy. [MORE]

White Federal Judge Dismisses Louisville Police Reform Agreement Spurred by the Police Murder of Breonna Taylor

From [HERE] A federal judge in Kentucky has dismissed Louisville’s proposed settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice over police reforms after the department withdrew its support of the plan.

The Justice Department announced in May it was canceling proposed consent decrees with Louisville and Minneapolis that sought to curb police racial bias and abuses after the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor that spurred nationwide protests in the summer of 2020.

U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton wrote in a Dec. 31 ruling that “the responsibility to lead the Louisville Metro Police Department in compliance with federal law must remain with the city’s elected representatives and the people they serve.”

A judge in May dismissed Minneapolis’ proposed consent decree, which places a federal officer in charge of tracking the progress of reforms laid out in the agreement. [MORE]

President Trash Announces that “He’s In Charge of Venezuela Now.” Imposes Involuntary Rulership Over His New Subjects Based Solely on Force/Slavery. Explains to US Sheeple Venezuela “Stole Their Oil”

From [HERE] and [HERE] The U.S. says it has carried out a direct military operation inside Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has been pushing for regime change in Venezuela, claimed the move was a “law enforcement action” tied to drug trafficking charges filed in New York.

The direct attack on Venezuela follows months of escalations by the U.S. that were first sold as a counter-narcotics operation. The U.S. has mobilized a large force off the coast of Venezuela, with 15,000 personnel operating in the area, and engaged in kinetic strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats that eventually saw over 100 people killed in what UN experts called “extrajudicial executions.”

Trump called it a “spectacular assault… in the heart of Caracas” from a press conference in Mar-a-Lago, comparing the attacks to similar U.S. attacks in Nigeria and against Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani, referencing his assassination by the first Trump administration in January 2020. Trump added that “American dominance in the western hemisphere will never be questioned again.”

“We are going to run the country,” said Trump, contrary to speculation that the U.S. would not try to occupy the country. Trump added that the U.S. was prepared to launch a second wave of attacks, warning Venezuelan leadership that they are at risk of a similar kidnapping operation. Trump said he was prepared to put “boots on the ground.”

The U.S. president also spoke of facilitating the entry of U.S. oil companies into Venezuela, repeating his claim that Venezuela had “stolen” their oil. He added that this revenue would pay for the United States’s administration of the country and some would be used as reparations.

Earlier in the day, Trump did not endorse a takeover by Venezuela’s far-right opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize and wrote “The time for freedom has come!” in a letter posted on X. In the afternoon press conference, Trump said of Machado that “It would be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the respect of her country.”

Numerous countries from the region and beyond condemned the U.S. operation, including Mexico and Brazil, with the former calling on the UN to act “immediately.” China, whose special envoy for Latin America was in meetings with Maduro in Caracas, said it was “deeply shocked and strongly condemns the U.S. for recklessly using force against a sovereign state and targeting its president.” [MORE]

Trump-Bush Bombed Seven Countries in 2025 [the 'America Last/Piece President']

2025 saw a major increase in US airstrikes due to President Trump loosening the rules of engagement for military commanders and launching new interventions in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.

According to a report from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) released earlier this year, Trump launched nearly as many airstrikes in just his first five months in office as President Biden did during his entire four-year term.

If Trump’s claims are true, the US has bombed seven countries this year, on top of the alleged airstrikes targeting alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific Ocean. Somalia, Nigeria, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, Iran, The Caribbean and Eastern Pacific and Venezuela [MORE].

Do Trump/Bush's Strikes in Nigeria Serve any Valid Purpose?

4 ways Puppet Trump Reminded us of Bush-Cheney in 2025. Earlier this month, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie mocked the idea of a potential U.S. regime change war with Venezuela, ostensibly over drug trafficking.

"Do we truly believe that Nicholas Maduro will be replaced by a modern-day George Washington? How did that work out? In Cuba, Libya, Iraq, or Syria?"

"Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs, weapons of mass destruction, that did not exist,” he added, taking a direct dig at President George W. Bush. Now it's the same playbook, except we're told that drugs are the WMDs."

In 2016 Trump ran for president as the anti-Bush, slamming the Iraq War justifications on the Republican primary debate stage. “Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake, all right? They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none,” Trump said then.

Now Team Trump talks about fentanyl being a WMD and teases war. Massie had a point in comparing Trump to Bush and Dick Cheney in more ways than one. [MORE]

Racist Terrorcrat Trump Launches Unprovoked Attack on Venezuela, Kidnaps President to Steal Oil, Resources from Non-White Country on Behalf of Elites; Now Seeks to Control US Minds w/False Narratives

From [HERE] US President Donald Trump said American forces had “captured” Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday during what he described as large-scale strikes in the country.

The US president did not receive congressional authorization for any of the strikes, and he said Saturday’s operation was carried out in collaboration with American law enforcement. [MORE]

Trump said Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been flown out of Venezuela.

Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who is next in line to succeed the president, said the whereabouts of Maduro and his wife were unknown and called on Trump to provide proof that he was alive.

The Venezuelan government in a statement said it "rejects, condemns and denounces the extremely serious military aggression" of the US on its territory and population. 

"The objective of this attack is nothing other than the seizure of Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals, through an attempt to forcibly break the nation’s political independence," the statement said.

"The attempt to impose a colonial war to destroy the republican system of government and force a 'regime change', in alliance with a fascist oligarchy, will fail like all previous attempt," it added. 

Trump announced the operation on his Truth Social platform hours after explosions were reported near civilian and military facilities in the capital, Caracas, as well as in the states of La Guaira, Aragua and Miranda.

Venezuelan officials said several people were killed and wounded in the US attacks but did not provide a death toll. US authorities said there were no American casualties.

US officials told CBS that the operation to “capture” Maduro was carried out by the elite Delta Force unit. Trump later described the mission as “brilliant” in a phone call with The New York Times.

Sky News reported that senior Venezuelan opposition sources said Maduro’s exit had been “negotiated” with the United States.

Russia, one of Venezuela's closest allies, condemned the US strikes, calling it an "act of armed aggression" that is "deeply concerning and condemnable". 

Iran, also an ally of Venezuela, also slammed the US for "the flagrant violation of [Venezuela's] national sovereignty and territorial integrity".

"When a person realises the enemy is arrogantly trying to impose something on the country, on the officials, on the government, and on the nation, one must stand firmly against the enemy and bare one’s chest in resistance. We will not yield to the enemy."

Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who was previously threatened by Trump as the next target after Venezuela, said his country "rejects the aggression against the sovereignty of Venezuela and of Latin America" and called for the UN and the Organization of American States to convene immediately.

The European Union's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, stopped short of condemning the US, saying that "Maduro lacks legitimacy". [MORE]

According to FUNKTIONARY:

territorial gangsters – individuals (masquerading as “the State” so-called) who skillfully use fraud, coercion, and terror to claim “jurisdiction” (so-called) over their victims who happen to be in some geographic territory. Territorial gangsters brainwash their victims (the pixelated populace) so that they will work for them not only like slaves but actually as slaves. (See: Stationary Bandits, Statutory Oppression, Jurisdiction, Allegiance, Involuntary Servitude, Slave & Tyrant-Paradigm)

terrorism – the implementation of the principle/concept of limited liability. 2) “A system of government that seeks to rule by intimidation.” ~Funk & Wagnalls New Practical Standard Dictionary, 1946. All acts of terrorism, even those carried out by those outside of the fold of the machinations of Corporate State and its minions (territorial gangsters), are either political or religious expressions. One’s man’s ideology is another man’s religion and vice-versa. Terrorism is never sudden, it emerges when marginalized or powerless people feel profoundly aggrieved. When and where they are precluded from participating in the central functioning of voluntary society or the involuntary Corporate State, they communicate with religious fanaticism, indiscriminate secular violence and hate. Terrorism and the terrorists who carry it out is a kind of psycho-economic Thug-of-War—leaving countless shattered lives of innocents in its horrid wake.

terrorist – a name or label for anyone that the over-rulers (ruling elite families) of these United (against us) States have declared war on. 2) anyone who challenges America’s hegemonic self-appointed right to rule the world. The distinction between a so-called freedom fighter and a terrorist is in the hands of those who have the power to define and propagandize their own subjective reality to make it an objective truth of others. A freedom-fighter typically is fighting an invader or occupier of his native land that has been stolen, whereas as terrorist is typically the one who has invaded or carried out acts of violence to take the land from an indigenous people.

Flock Camera and the Rise of the Safety State

Dr. Denis Rancourt: 'There Was No COVID Pandemic. You Cannot Fake Death Data. Practically all the deaths associated with the CV19 pandemic were caused by the hospital treatment protocols'

This is an EXCELLENT interview from the Fall of 2023. Denis Rancourt being interviewed by "Dr Drew" and Dr Kelly Victory about his conclusions upon an exhaustive study of all-cause mortality. Although it's 2 years old, I found it terrifically instructive to hear Rancourt’s results from analysis of patterns of all-cause mortality, his main points being:
1. There was no increase in “all-cause mortality” anywhere in the world that coincided with the CV19 pandemic;
2. There was no “viral pandemic” (CV19) that swept the world starting in 2019;
3. Practically all the deaths associated with the CV19 pandemic were caused by the hospital treatment protocols handed down from above in conjunction with other non-viral, known causes of death;
4. There is no epidemiological evidence consistent with there having been a deadly, contagious pathogen.

They cover other topics as well, like the sorry state of "science" in our current world and the corruption of science and medical journals by Big Money. [MORE]

Teen’s Lawsuit Claims Baltimore Police Have a Policy of Intentionally Running Over Black People who Flee on Foot. Video Shows Cruiser Strike Him from Behind- White Liberal Media Ignores Story

From [HERE] Baltimore Police have long used department vehicles to inflict serious injuries on suspects, a recently filed lawsuit alleges. The suit attributes the “pattern and practice” to “a lack of supervision, oversight and the tacit condonation of the use of excessive force by the BPD and its supervising officers.”

The allegation is included in an excessive force complaint filed by Devonte Jett, a Baltimore man who was fleeing from officers responding to a reported carjacking in June 2021 when he was run over by a Baltimore Police officer driving a Ford Explorer SUV.

Video of the incident captured by a police helicopter shows Jett, then 16, running through an open grassy area in the Harlem Park neighborhood from an officer on foot who is pointing his weapon at him.

As Jett runs, another Baltimore Police officer, whom the lawsuit identifies as Steven Reed, drives his SUV directly at the suspect and runs him over, knocking him unconscious and causing a “likely” concussion as well as injuries to his lungs and pelvis, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court on Monday.

The lawsuit says Reed “either maliciously, intentionally grossly negligently or negligently accelerated and steered the SUV directly toward Mr. Jett, running him over from behind.” It adds that Jett was running in a straight line and “at no point turned toward the SUV or otherwise caused contact with the SUV to occur — it was all Defendant Reed’s doing."

“Mr. Jett described his head as feeling like it was ‘swimming’ once he regained consciousness at Shock Trauma,” the lawsuit says. “For several months after the incident, Mr. Jett experienced severe pain in his lower extremities and had to attend physical therapy, and he continues to experience lasting mental and emotional distress.”

To support the claim that what happened to Jett was part of a larger pattern of Baltimore Police officers using their vehicles to inflict excessive force, attorneys representing Jett cited a litany of examples dating back many years, drawing from a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into the Police Department.

The attorneys also pointed to a recent incident that went viral in October thanks to footage that shows Officer Robert A. Parks driving his vehicle at a young man and nearly striking him with it. That incident prompted city prosecutors to file attempted murder charges against Parks the following month. [MORE]

Suit Says Anaheim Cops Fatally Shot Alberto Arzola Multiple Times in the Back During an Arrest for Graffiti; Video Also Shows Cops Shoot an Unarmed 18 Yr Old in the Back While His Hands Were Up

From [HERE] Three legal claims filed against the city of Anaheim accuse police officers of using unjustified and excessive force during a Dec. 6 encounter that ended with the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Alberto Arzola on the front steps of his home, as well as serious injuries to another teenager and lasting trauma to a child who witnessed the shooting.

James DeSimone, a Los Angeles civil rights attorney representing the families said “there is no excuse for Anaheim police to shoot an unarmed man in the head with a so-called ‘less lethal projectile’ while he’s complying with police.”

The claims stem from a police response to what officers were reportedly investigating as a graffiti misdemeanor in the 800 block of South Philadelphia Street, an offense the filings state Arzola did not commit. According to the claims, officers arrived at approximately 9:30 p.m. in an unmarked vehicle with tinted windows and immediately approached with their guns drawn.

One claim, filed on behalf of Arzola’s family, alleges that as Arzola attempted to enter his residence through the front door, an officer “grabbed him by the hood of his sweatshirt and aggressively pulled him backwards down the stairs” before firing multiple shots into his back. The filing states that Arzola pleaded “Don’t shoot” several times and that he did not threaten officers or anyone else.

“The use of lethal force against Mr. Arzola was excessive, unnecessary, shocking to the conscience,” the claim states, adding that it violated both state and federal law as well as Anaheim Police Department policies.

The filing further alleges that after Arzola was shot, officers failed to render immediate medical aid. According to the claim, officers did not provide CPR or basic wound care despite knowing he had suffered life-threatening gunshot wounds. The failure to act, the filing states, delayed critical medical intervention and contributed to his death.

A second claim focuses on Emmanuel Cordova, 18, who was present during the encounter. According to that filing, Cordova had his back to officers, with his hands raised and while complying with commands, when he was struck in the head by a police-fired “less lethal” projectile.

The claim states that the projectile can travel at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour and alleges that Cordova suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result. The filing asserts that Cordova was unarmed, posed no threat to officers and was complying at the time he was shot.

“There is no excuse for Anaheim police to shoot an unarmed man in the head with a so-called ‘less lethal projectile’ while he’s complying with police,” DeSimone said, describing the use of force as both unnecessary and dangerous.

The third claim has been filed on behalf of Arzola’s 14-year-old cousin, identified in court records as a minor, who witnessed the shooting at close range. According to the filing, the child saw officers pull Arzola down the steps and shoot him multiple times in the back as he fell to the ground.

After the shooting, the claim states, officers pointed their weapons at the child, ordered him inside the home and threatened to shoot him. The filing alleges that the minor “posed no threat whatsoever” and had his hands raised while officers trained their firearms on him.

Since the incident, the claim states, the child has suffered severe psychological trauma, including nightmares, flashbacks, fear of going outside and fear of police officers, and is receiving mental health treatment.

“One young man is dead, one has a traumatic brain injury and a 14-year-old is forever traumatized as he was forced to watch his cousin die while having guns pointed at his own head,” DeSimone said.

The claims allege violations of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, provisions of the California Constitution and several state civil rights statutes. They also accuse the Anaheim Police Department and the city of negligent hiring, training and supervision, and of maintaining policies or practices that tolerate excessive force and failures to provide medical aid after police shootings.

Epstein and the Clintons: As Hillary Launched Presidential Campaign, Epstein Feared Exposure

From [HERE] Since Jeffrey Epstein’s second arrest in 2019, the Clintons have spent considerable effort distancing themselves from the enigmatic financier, and they are currently fending off House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, who threatened contempt proceedings after the political power couple refused to testify this week regarding their relationship to Epstein.

Epstein first came into public view after accompanying former President Bill Clinton on a 2002 tour of Africa, aboard Epstein’s infamous Boeing 727 plane, later dubbed “Lolita Express.” Abundant photos from that Africa trip—with Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker—have just been released by the Justice Department.

Through a spokesperson, Bill Clinton has acknowledged traveling on Epstein’s jet during a humanitarian tour of Africa in 2002, but has said he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes, never visited Epstein’s properties, and ended contact in 2005. In a Justice Department interview in July 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell downplayed Epstein’s connection to the former president, telling Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, “President Clinton was my friend, not Epstein’s friend.” [MORE]

Promised Aid to Gaza Blocked by Barbaric Israeli's - US Ambassador Lied about Trucks Arriving Daily

From [HERE] The Government Media Office in Gaza has firmly rejected recent claims by US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz regarding the volume of humanitarian aid entering Gaza. In a statement released Thursday, the office described Waltz’s remarks as "misleading and detached from reality."

"The ambassador’s comments represent a transparent attempt to absolve the Israeli occupation of responsibility for the blockade and the deliberate starvation of civilians," the office said.

According to recent data by Gaza authorities, the daily average of incoming aid trucks since the start of the ceasefire stands at just 234. This is far below the 600 trucks claimed by Waltz and represents only 39% of the pledged daily aid delivery.

Two days ago, the Gaza Media Office reported that over a 60-day period, only 13,511 trucks had entered Gaza out of the 36,000 expected, averaging 226 trucks per day.

Earlier figures, gathered before November 5, paint a similar picture. At that time, only 4,453 aid trucks had entered Gaza out of the 15,600 that were required under the ceasefire terms, a compliance rate of just 28%. [MORE]

With Israel controlling all of Gaza’s major landfill areas, 900,000 tons of solid waste have been dumped across the enclave, exacerbating a public health crisis

From [HERE] Amin Sabri’s battered tent was among several sitting at the foot of a hillside of rotting garbage towering some 25 feet in the middle of Gaza City. Barefoot children, their clothes caked in grime, scampered nearby. Flies were everywhere, and the stench of fetid waste blanketed the air.

"This is my tent and this is the garbage dump I’m living across from,” Sabri told Drop Site. “We don’t sleep—not at night, nor during the day—because of the garbage. The smell comes at us constantly, and our children are ill. They suffer from severe headaches. We’re dealing with an infestation of germs and insects.”

Over the past two years, Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been systematically destroyed by the Israeli military, including waste management services. Massive piles of garbage have accumulated across the enclave. Once busy markets and tree-shaded streets have turned into endless mountains of trash, severely exacerbating Gaza’s environmental and public health crisis.

Before the war, waste collection in Gaza City was coordinated through the Yarmouk waste transfer site, located near the city stadium, and would be transported to the Johr El-Deek landfill. With Johr El Deek inaccessible—lying east of the “yellow line” with occupying Israeli military forces—the Yarmouk facility has now been transformed into a massive dumping site.

The few landfill vehicles still operating in Gaza climb to the top of the Yarmouk site and dump more untreated garbage every day. Some communities resort to burning waste, sending toxic fumes into the air. Children run across the hills of rotting waste looking to scavenge what they can. [MORE]

Massa Media Concealing Atrocities for its IsrAlien Masters: Soldiers are Systematically Beheading Children, Raping Prisoners, Murdering with Impunity and US Approval

First it was Israel's Right to Defend Itself (based on a False Flag) Then it was "a War" (against Civilians who have No Military) and Now its a "Ceasefire" (or Ongoing Slaughter of Human Beings)

From [HERE] First, it was Israel’s right to defend itself.

Then it was a war, even though, by Israel’s own military intelligence database, 83 percent of the casualties were civilians.

The 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, living under an Israeli air, land and sea blockade, have no army, air force, no mechanized units, no tanks, no navy, no missiles, no heavy artillery, no fleets of killer drones, no sophisticated tracking systems to map all movements, or an ally like the United States, which has given Israel at least $21.7 billion in military aid since Oct. 7, 2023.

Now, it is a “ceasefire.”

Except of course, as usual, Israel only abided by the first of the 20 stipulations. It freed around 2,000 Palestinian captives held in Israeli prisons — 1,700 of whom were detained after Oct. 7 — as well as around 300 bodies of Palestinians, in exchange for the return of the 20 remaining Israeli captives.

Israel has violated every other condition. It has tossed the agreement — brokered by the Trump administration without Palestinian participation — into the bonfire with all the other agreements and peace accords concerning Palestinians.

Israel’s extensive and blatant flouting of international agreements and international law — Israel and its allies refuse to abide by three sets of legally binding orders by the International Cout of Justice (ICJ) and two ICJ advisory opinions, as well as the Genocide Convention and international humanitarian law — presage a world where the law is whatever the most militarily advanced countries say it is.

The sham peace plan — “President Donald J. Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict” — in an act of stunning betrayal of the Palestinian people, was endorsed by most of the U.N. Security Council in November, with China and Russia abstaining. Member states washed their hands of Gaza and turned their backs on the genocide.

The adoption of resolution 2803 (2025), as the Middle East scholar Norman Finkelstein writes,

“… was simultaneously a revelation of moral insolvency and a declaration of war against Gaza. By proclaiming international law null and void, the Security Council proclaimed itself null and void. Vis-à-vis Gaza, the Council transmuted into a criminal conspiracy.”

The next phase is supposed to see Hamas surrender its weapons and Israel withdraw from Gaza. But these two steps will never happen.

Hamas — along with other Palestinian factions — reject the Security Council resolution. They say they will disarm only when the occupation ends and a Palestinian state is created. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that if Hamas does not disarm, it will be done “the hard way.”

The “Board of Peace,” headed by Trump, will ostensibly govern Gaza along with armed mercenaries from the Israel-allied International Stabilization Force, although no country seems anxious to commit their troops.

Trump promises a Gaza Riviera that will function as a “special economic zone” — a territory operating outside of state law governed entirely by private investors, such as the Peter Thiel-backed charter city in Honduras. [MORE]

Vast majority of illnesses in Gaza may be unreported, WHO cautions amid limited access

The World Health Organization warned on Thursday that disease outbreaks in Gaza may be spreading largely undetected due to the near-total collapse of surveillance and laboratory systems.

Teresa Zakaria, WHO's unit head for humanitarian and disaster action, said the living conditions in the enclave are so severe that "we can't even describe it anymore," adding that "all the basis for diseases to develop in a constricted environment with very limited access to prevention, to detection and response are all indicating that outbreaks can really spread out of control and very rapidly."

Her remarks came during an Association of Accredited Correspondents at the United Nations (ACANU) media briefing in Geneva.

Zakaria said humanitarian access and diagnostic capacities remain "very limited," making early detection and response nearly impossible.

"What is very important here to highlight is that we are probably missing the vast majority of diseases that are spreading in the territory at the moment just because we have not been able to detect them," she said. [MORE]
