Scores of illegal Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem on Sunday and held prayers for US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed earlier this month, Anadolu reports.

The Hebrew-language site Srugim reported that the ritual was led by far-right Rabbi and former Knesset member Yehuda Glick, a prominent advocate of expanding Jewish access to the site.

Kirk, a conservative activist known for supporting US President Donald Trump and Israel, was fatally shot in the neck while delivering a speech at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said illegal settlers entered the mosque in groups, performing rituals, singing and dancing inside the courtyards as preparations for the Jewish New Year gathered pace.

Wafa added that right-wing settler groups are mobilizing to bring larger numbers of illegal settlers into the flashpoint site during the holiday period.

On Saturday, the Israeli army said it would send reinforcements to the occupied West Bank amid heightened alert ahead of the holidays.

According to Jerusalem’s Islamic Endowments Directorate, violations at Al-Aqsa have escalated sharply since far-right politician Itamar Ben-Gvir became Israel’s national security minister in late 2022.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is the world’s third-holiest site for Muslims. Jews call the area Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.

Israel occupied East Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa is located, during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It annexed the entire city in 1980 in a move never recognized by the international community.

Palestinians see the settler incursions into Al-Aqsa as part of efforts to Judaize East Jerusalem and erase its Arab and Islamic identity. They insist East Jerusalem is the capital of a future Palestinian state, in line with international resolutions rejecting Israel’s 1967 occupation and its 1980 annexation of the city.

Since October 2023, at least 1,042 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

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.

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.”

…

in a letter to the Electoral Commission, Tory chairman Kevin Hollinrake said the party has new information to justify the commission ‘initiating a formal inquiry and then to refer the incident to the police’ relating to ‘the breach of political finance laws’.

Mr Hollinrake said advice from lawyer Gerald Shamash written in 2021, which appeared to have been ‘passed from within the Labour Party to outside sources’, revealed discussion about how to handle the Commission – and admitted it would not be easy to explain Labour Together’s position.

Mr Hollinrake said Mr McSweeney was advised that Labour Together should blame the non-reporting of donations on an administration error. 

But the Tory chairman believed the donations weren’t declared to protect the donors’ identities.

The row comes ahead of the publication next month of The Fraud, by journalist Paul Holden, which will include a detailed account of Mr McSweeney’s role in Labour Together.

The think-tank was a key plank of the drive by Mr McSweeney and his allies – including Lord Mandelson, who was sacked as US ambassador this month over links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – to topple Mr Corbyn from the party leadership.

At least 54 Palestinians were killed on Saturday in Israeli airstrikes and drone attacks across the Gaza Strip, as the army renewed its warnings for residents to evacuate Gaza City and move south, Anadolu reports.

According to eyewitnesses and medical sources, the attacks struck a shelter, a displacement tent, civilian gatherings, and homes, coinciding with the detonation of booby-trapped robots in northern neighborhoods of Gaza City.

Northern Gaza

Most of the casualties were reported in Gaza City, where at least 44 Palestinians were killed.

In the Al-Tuffah area, nine people were killed in an airstrike on the al-Jamal family home.
Five people were killed in an airstrike on the home in the Al-Shati refugee camp of Majed Abu Salmiya, the brother of Shifa Hospital director Mohammed Abu Salmiya.

Near Yarmouk Stadium, two children were killed when Israeli gunfire struck the Al-Mu’tasim School, which has been sheltering displaced families.

A woman was killed and others were wounded when Israeli gunfire hit a civilian gathering near the Jordanian Hospital in the Al-Samra neighborhood.

Near the Islamic University, women and children were injured when an airstrike hit a displacement tent, while 23 more Palestinians were killed in other parts of Gaza City.

Four more Palestinians were killed and several others injured in an airstrike targeting a civilian gathering at the Abu Hamid junction, near the Shati refugee camp.

The Civil Defense Service said in a statement that Israeli drones also fired randomly at homes in northern and southern parts of the city, wounding civilians.
Late Friday, Israeli jets carried out a “fire belt” bombardment of Tel al-Hawa, while troops detonated several explosive-laden robotic vehicles on Sheikh Radwan and Al-Nafaq Street in northern Gaza City.

Israeli forces also dropped leaflets over the Al-Shati camp, renewing orders for residents to flee south.

On Tuesday, the army announced a “large-scale ground operation” in Gaza City, though field reports indicate limited ground incursions have only occurred since Wednesday night in northern districts.

Central Gaza

At least one Palestinian was killed and others were injured in a strike on a civilian gathering on Al-Ishreen Street in Nuseirat refugee camp, while another person was killed in a separate attack in central Gaza.

The Israeli army also killed three Palestinians and wounded others when a drone bombed a tent in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Southern Gaza

One person was killed and five others were wounded by Israeli gunfire while waiting for aid near a distribution center in Rafah.

In Khan Younis, one person was killed in a strike near the Abu Hmeid roundabout, while three others were killed in separate Israeli attacks in the south.

Since Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has been carrying out a genocide in Gaza which has so far killed over 65,200 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

The onslaught has displaced hundreds of thousands alongside a blockade on humanitarian aid that has claimed the lives of at least 442 Palestinians, including 147 children.
