Hamas has warned of a “slow-motion execution” being carried out on its senior Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation jails.
In a press statement received by Quds Press on Tuesday, senior Hamas leader Abdulrahman Shedeed said that the treatment of their brave prisoners — including torture, ill-treatment and the denial of even the most basic rights — is a stain on humanity and a disgrace for every self-proclaimed human-rights defender.
Shedeed specifically condemned the repeated, brutal beatings and deliberate ill-treatment of the imprisoned leader Abdullah al-Barghouti in Gilboa prison, calling it a politically directed attempt at slow execution. He argued that this is a direct echo of threats made by extremist far-right figure Ben Gvir, who has spoken of executing prisoners and targeting their leaders.
He also raised alarm over al-Barghouti’s health and that of other prisoners, accusing the Israeli prison authorities of systemic medical neglect and denying prisoners access to treatment. According to Shedeed, this reflects a calculated campaign to break the will of the prison movement and undermine its resilience.

Thousands of Israelis have signed a petition urging Defence Minister Israel Katz to immediately close military detention centres where Palestinian detainees are reportedly being tortured, leading to the deaths of dozens.
According to Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, over 4,100 Israelis signed the petition, launched by the movement Zazim – Popular Campaign in cooperation with Israel’s General Committee Against Torture.
Zazim – Popular Campaign is Israel’s largest mass campaign movement, with more than 400,000 members. The petition stated that signatories include both Jewish and Arab Israelis. One of the most notorious military detention centres is Sde Teiman in southern Israel. It has been used by the Israeli army to hold Palestinian detainees from the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on 8 October 2023. The petition said: “Sde Teiman is not an exceptional case. The Israeli army acknowledges that dozens of Palestinian detainees have died in military detention centres.” “These centres can be closed with a single administrative decision by the defence minister. There is no justification for their existence, and as Israeli citizens, we will not accept torture camps on our land.” On Monday, the Israeli organisation Physicians for Human Rights reported that at least 98 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention centres and prisons over the past two years. Of these, 52 died in military detention centres, including 29 at Sde Teiman alone. The report noted that many of these deaths were caused by violence, mistreatment, and medical neglect.

Fanatical Jewish settlers continue to raid on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in East Jerusalem, within the “Sukkot Holiday” (Feast of Tabernacles) in Jerusalem on October 12, 2025. [Gazi Samad – Anadolu Agency]
Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned the raid carried out by Israeli settlers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on Monday in occupied East Jerusalem.
In a statement, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said the settlers’ entry into Al-Aqsa Mosque was a “clear violation” of international law and relevant UN resolutions.
The statement stressed the need to protect holy sites in line with international law and the current historical status.
Pakistan called on the international community to take urgent and effective steps to ensure the protection of holy sites, prevent further violence and attacks by settlers, and uphold UN resolutions.
According to an official statement, 198 Israeli settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque on Monday, while 974 tourists also entered the site.
Data from the Palestinian government’s Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, updated to 5 October, indicates that settlers carried out 7,154 attacks in the West Bank during the two years of the Israeli war on Gaza. These attacks led to the killing of 33 Palestinians and the displacement of 33 communities.

HOME SECRETARY Shabana Mahmood is seeking “to use children as a weapon” in her asylum plans, a Labour peer who came to Britain as a child refugee has warned.
The government is preparing to intensify the removal of entire families after unveiling a fresh set of harsh measures on Monday evening.
A document laying out the rules claimed that asylum-seekers are using their children to “thwart removal.”
Now a consultation will look at stripping financial support from families with under-18s if they had been refused asylum.
The government says it will offer “financial support” to encourage families to leave voluntarily, but still escalate an “enforced return” if they refuse.
Lord Alf Dubs, who fled Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia and arrived in England on Kindertransport, accused Ms Mahmood of using “children as a weapon,” describing it as a “shabby thing.”
He said: “I’m lost for words frankly. My concern was if we remove people who have come here, what happens if they’ve had children in the meantime?
“What are we supposed to do with the children who are born here, who’ve been to school here, who are part of our community and society?”
Keir Starmer says that the Labour Party under his leadership is intensely relaxed about assaulting those least able to defend themselves – the very poorest and most vulnerable.

CodePink said the plan “will leave Palestine in the hands of a puppet administration, assigning the United States, which shares complicity in the genocide, as the new manager of the open-air prison.”
Palestine defenders decried Monday’s approval by the United Nations Security Council of a US plan authorizing a so-called international stabilization force for Gaza—a plan decried by one peace group as a denial of Palestinian self-determination.
While US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz hailed the approval of what he called a “historic and constructive resolution,” Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, rejected what it said “imposes an international guardianship mechanism on the Gaza Strip, which our people and their factions reject.”
“Assigning the international force with tasks and roles inside the Gaza Strip, including disarming the resistance, strips it of its neutrality, and turns it into a party to the conflict in favor of the occupation,” added Hamas, which the US labels a terrorist organization.
After waging war on Gaza for over two years, Israeli officials also rejected the resolution for opening the door to Palestinian statehood—which is officially recognized by around 150 nations but is vehemently opposed by Israel—with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling such an outcome “unacceptable.”
The approved stabilization force will be tasked with securing Gaza’s borders, protecting civilians, facilitating humanitarian assistance, supporting a redeployed Palestinian police force, and supervising disarmament of Hamas and other militant resistance groups. Under the plan, Israeli occupation forces would fully withdraw from Gaza after the stabilization force achieves security and operational control of the Palestinian exclave.
Then, a transitional governing body—the so-called Board of Peace led by US President Donald Trump—would be established to coordinate security, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction. The plan, which builds on Trump’s 20-point peace proposal adopted in last month’s tenuous ceasefire, dangles the carrot of a pathway toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood under a reformed Palestinian governing authority.
Human Rights Watch criticized the vote in an X post stating that “the fact that the words ‘human rights’ don’t appear in the resolution adopted by the Security Council today speaks volumes.”
The US-based peace group CodePink said in a statement that “the resolution, while disguised as a peaceful and humanitarian proposal, is in reality a blueprint for the internationalization of the Israeli occupation and a complete denial of Palestinian self-determination.”
CodePink continued:
The resolution imposes a two-year mandate to “secure borders,” “protect civilians,” and “decommission weapons,” with the stated goal of disarming Palestinian resistance. However, it does nothing to address and end the root cause of the violence: Israel’s ongoing siege, occupation, and ethnic cleansing. The United States, which armed and shielded the Israeli government unconditionally as it killed and displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, should not be considered a neutral actor of good faith. A military force that answers to a “Board of Peace” chaired by the US president is an extension of US and Israeli interests, plain and simple.
“The establishment of a ‘technocratic Palestinian administration’ that answers to a US-led board will strip the Palestinian people of political agency,” CodePink added. “Essentially, it will leave Palestine in the hands of a puppet administration, assigning the United States, which shares complicity in the genocide, as the new manager of the open-air prison that Israel has already established.”
Members of the New York branch of the Palestine Youth Movement led a demonstration outside the US mission to the UN in Manhattan to protest the resolution.
“We see through this thinly veiled attempt to strip the Palestinian people of their sovereignty, self-determination, and right of return,” the group said on Instagram. “The people reject any and all occupation plans for Gaza. Our movement will continue to struggle against Zionism and imperialism until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.”
