    At least 65,283 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the enclave’s Health Ministry said on Sunday, Anadolu reports.

    A ministry statement said that 75 bodies, including four retrieved from under the rubble, were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 304 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 166,575 in the Israeli onslaught.

    “Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

    The ministry also noted that five Palestinians were killed and 24 others injured by Israeli army fire while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 2,523, with more than 18,473 others wounded since Oct. 7.

    Since March 18, the Israeli army has resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 12,724 people and injuring 54,534 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January, according to the ministry.

    Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

    Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice over its war on the enclave.

    Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

    The UK officially recognises the state of Palestine, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announce on Sunday ahead of the UN General Assembly, Anadolu reports.

    “In the face of the growing horror in the Middle East, we are acting to keep alive the possibility of the peace and the two-state solution,” Keir Starmer said in a video statement.

    He said that means a safe and secure Israel alongside a viable Palestinian state, adding: “At the moment, we have neither.”

    In July, the prime minister said the UK would recognize the state of Palestine this September unless the Israeli government takes “substantive steps.”

    It came after mounting pressure on the British government to announce the formal recognition.

    Australia and Canada also announced formal recognition of Palestine earlier Sunday.

    Previously, France, Luxembourg, and Malta announced similar plans to recognise Palestine at the UN General Assembly.

    Ahead of the announcement, Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy told the BBC that “now is the time to stand up for a two-state solution.”

    Meanwhile, the Israeli government labelled the UK move “absurd,” ahead of Britain’s announcement.

  • Amnesty International: Recognition of Palestinian state is a ‘hollow gesture’ without meaningful action to end genocide

    Amnesty’s Crisis Response Manager, Kristyan Benedict, said on Sunday that: “Recognition is no doubt significant but will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel’s genocide, illegal occupation, and system of apartheid against the Palestinian people.

    Speaking in response to the UK government’s recognition of the State of Palestine Benedict said: “For recognition or any ‘political solution’ to be effective, it must be firmly rooted in respect for human rights and international justice.”

    “The UK needs to take action now to ensure Israel lifts the blockade on Gaza, dismantles illegal settlements, ends apartheid, respects Palestinians’ right to return, and upholds the rights of victims on all sides to justice and full reparation.

    “Words alone won’t stop the atrocities. Recognition must be tied to real accountability: the UK must halt UK arms exports, divest from arms companies that continue to sell arms to Israel, sanction Israeli officials implicated in crimes under international law and stop trade with settlements.”

    A statement issued by the rights organisation emphasised: “The occupation and apartheid system must be ended, and justice must be delivered – anything less while Palestinians continue to be slaughtered by Israeli forces in an ongoing genocide is just empty words.”
