Qatar and Saudi Arabia on Wednesday condemned an Israeli decision to expand its ongoing military assault in Gaza City as a “flagrant violation of international law,” Anadolu reports.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army expanded its offensive in the densely populated city, as part of Tel Aviv’s plan to entirely occupy the area.

In a statement, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry decried the assault as “an extension of the war of genocide against the brotherly Palestinian people and a flagrant violation of international law.”

The ministry warned that the Israeli escalation threatens regional and international peace and security, calling for a “decisive international solidarity to compel Israel to comply with international legitimacy resolutions.”

Saudi Arabia strongly denounced the deadly military operations in the Gaza Strip and continued crimes against Palestinians “amid the international community’s failure to take effective measures to put an end to this criminal approach.”

“The Kingdom warns of the grave danger of Israel’s ongoing bloody policy against the Gaza Strip and its population,” the ministry said.

It called on the permanent members of the UN Security Council “to adopt immediate resolutions to stop Israel’s mechanism of killing, starvation, and displacement” against Palestinians and “to firmly enforce all relevant international resolutions on the (Israeli) occupation authorities.”

The Israeli army has killed almost 65,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to famine and the spread of diseases.

On Tuesday, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory confirmed that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.

Labour faces fresh condemnation amid Israel’s ground offensive into Gaza City

… KEIR STARMER’S government faced fresh condemnation yesterday for its failure to oppose Israel’s brutal war on the Palestinians as the country’s military began a ground offensive into Gaza City and a United Nations commission of inquiry concluded that Israel is committing genocide.

“Gaza is burning,” boasted Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz. “We will not relent and we will not go back — until the completion of the mission.”

…

The report by a team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations Human Rights Council calls on the international community to end the genocide and take steps to punish those responsible for it.

…

Coventry South MP Zarah Sultana said Sir Keir and his Labour ministers “must be held criminally accountable.”

She wrote on X: “For nearly two years, we’ve witnessed the deliberate slaughter of civilians, starvation of an entire population  and the systematic destruction of hospitals and essential infrastructure.

“Yet just two weeks ago, the UK government claimed it had not concluded Israel was acting with genocidal intent.

“It continues to arm Israel’s genocide, provide RAF reconnaissance support and roll out the red carpet for Israeli war criminals.

“The government’s position was already morally indefensible. It is now politically untenable.”

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.

Jon Pearce opposes British recognition of a Palestinian state and was Labour Friends of Israel chair until appointed to his new role

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has appointed the chair of Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) as his parliamentary private secretary.

Jon Pearce, who was elected as an MP last year, visited Israel and the UAE earlier this year and publicly opposed Britain recognising a Palestinian state unilaterally.

The role of parliamentary private secretary (PPS) to the prime minister is conventionally held by backbenchers and is a coveted position, despite being unpaid, for the access it provides to the leader.

Pearce has stepped down from his LFI role to assume his new duty.

Jeremy Corbyn: Surprise, surprise – Labour is reaping what it has sown

Instead of addressing child poverty, homelessness, poor working conditions or any of the real issues impacting this country, Labour has chosen to deflect the blame and pour billions into arms, says Jeremy Corbyn. Britain is tired of having no political choice – and we’re here to fix that

…

Over the past year, the government has continued a programme of austerity and privatisation. It has refused to lift the two-child benefit cap, the single biggest driver of child poverty. It has tried to take away the winter fuel allowance. It has increased the bus fare cap. And it has tried to take away £5bn from disabled people, curating a two-tiered benefit system that deprives thousands of people of a dignified life.

There is one area where the government has been very generous, though: arms spending. Government military spending is now at £31.7bn, which is a 6 per cent increase in real terms from last year. Imagine how much better ordinary people’s lives would be if we spent that money on schools, hospitals and green energy instead.

…

People have had enough of a political regime that serves the interests of billionaires and corporations. They have had enough of a government that inflicts suffering at home and enables genocide abroad. They have had enough of broken promises from political parties that fail to deliver real change.

Ships of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla will gather near Malta before sailing together across the Mediterranean toward the Israel-blockaded territory, organizers said on Tuesday, Anadolu reports.

“More than 50 ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla already set sail from several ports in Tunisia, Italy, Greece and Libya,” the International Committee to Break the Israeli Siege of Gaza said in a statement.

“The ships are scheduled to gather at a rendezvous point near Malta before sailing together toward the shores of Gaza,” it added, without specifying a date.

The committee said the flotilla ships carry relief supplies, medicines, baby formula, and hundreds of activists and supporters from more than 40 countries.

“Many Arab activists and supporters are on board, as well as dozens of public figures, parliamentarians, doctors, and community leaders from North African countries.”

The aid flotilla also includes dozens of participants from several other countries, including Türkiye and Malaysia.

“This flotilla, given its unprecedented size and diversity, is expected to represent a turning point in efforts to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza,” the committee said.

The current convoy is the largest of its kind, aiming to challenge the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, where famine conditions have taken hold under Israel’s months-long closure of all crossings.

The Israeli army has killed almost 65,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable, and led to starvation and spread of diseases.
