ISRAEL has broken the Gaza truce nearly 500 times in 44 days, killing hundreds, according to Palestinians.

The Gaza government Media Office said today that Israel must be held fully responsible for the humanitarian and security implications for its repeated ceasefire violations.

The Palestinians said that the Israelis have broken the so-called ceasefire 497 times since it came into force on October 10, killing 342 people, with children, women and the elderly accounting for the majority of the victims.

The Gaza Media Office said: “We condemn in the strongest terms the continued serious and systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Israeli occupation authorities.

“These violations constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the humanitarian protocol attached to the agreement.”

The Israelis continued their attacks over the weekend, with at least 24 Palestinians killed and another 54 wounded by Israeli forces on Saturday.

Experiencing issues with this image not appearing. I suspect because it's so critical of Zionist Keir Starmer's support of and complicity in Israel's genocides.
Genocide denier and Current UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is quoted that he supports Zionism without qualification. He also confirms that UK air force support has been essential in Israel’s mass-murdering genocide.

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.

Chancellor must scrap the two-child cap ‘in full’, TUC warns

https://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/article/chancellor-must-scrap-two-child-cap-full-tuc-warns

Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves speaks to the media about the October inflation statistics from the Office of National Statistics, during a visit to a Tesco supermarket in Earl’s Court, west London, November 19, 2025

CHANCELLOR Rachel Reeves must scrap the two-child cap “in full” at the Budget as seven in 10 of the 4.5 million children living in poverty in Britain have at least one working parent, the TUC has warned.

The union body called on Labour to ditch Tory cruelty on Wednesday, with its analysis published today revealing that working people are just £12 a week better off in real terms than they were when the financial crisis hit in 2008.

Public service workers, meanwhile, are no better off compared to 2008, with real pay the same.

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said the Chancellor must tackle the child poverty emergency by delivering a “living standards Budget.”

He said: “Households up and down the country are still suffering a painful Tory pay hangover — leaving this Labour government with lots of ground to make up.

“That’s why Wednesday is a crucial moment to show ministers are on the side of working people by making affordability a top priority.

“That means a clear plan to bring down energy bills for households. It means action to make work pay by showing ambition on the minimum wage. 

“And it means tackling the child poverty emergency by scrapping the two-child benefit cap in full.”

Polling by the TUC also reveals 83 per cent of the public believe no child should be living in poverty in Britain.

 People take part in a protest against Tunisian president Kais Saied’s rule and demanding the release of political prisoners in Tunis, Tunisia, November 22, 2025

TUNISIANS took to the streets of central Tunis on Saturday over President Kais Saied’s increasingly authoritarian rule and demanded the release of all political prisoners.

The Against Injustice rally brought together families of political detainees and activists from different ideological backgrounds.

The demonstration drew more than 1,000 protesters chanting anti-regime slogans, including: “No fear no terror, the street belongs to the people.”

The protest came as part of a broader surge in protests nationwide over political and economic turmoil.

Protesters also called out President Saied’s interference in the judiciary and accused him of using the police to target political opponents.

Leaders adopt a declaration at G20 summit despite US opposition

https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/leaders-adopt-declaration-g20-summit-despite-us-opposition

 Banners of various G20 leaders are displayed along a Johannesburg freeway, in Johannesburg, South Africa, November 20, 2025

WORLD leaders from the Group of 20 rich and developing economies broke with tradition and adopted a declaration at the start of their summit in South Africa on Saturday despite opposition from the United States.

The US is boycotting the two-day talks in a diplomatic rift with the host country and had put pressure on South Africa not to adopt a leaders’ declaration in the absence of a US delegation, South African officials said.

Vincent Magwenya, the spokesperson for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, said that a leaders’ declaration was adopted unanimously by the other members at the start of the talks in Johannesburg.

Declarations are usually adopted at the end of G20 summits.

The 122-point declaration urged more global action on issues that specifically affect poor countries, like climate-related disasters and sovereign debt levels, and was promoted by the hosts as a victory for the first G20 summit to be held in Africa.

While President Ramaphosa’s spokesperson said the declaration was unanimous, Argentina said it did not endorse it.

Climate activists slam lack of a meaningful deal at Cop30

https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/climate-activists-slam-lack-meaningful-deal-cop30

 Indigenous activists participate in a climate protest during the COP30 U.N. Climate Summit, November 17, 2025, in Belem, Brazil

CLIMATE activists slammed the lack of a meaningful deal as the United Nations Cop30 climate talks in Belem, Brazil, came to a close on Saturday.

The negotiators pledged more funding for countries to adapt to extreme weather. But the catch-all agreement doesn’t include explicit details to phase out fossil fuels or strengthen countries’ inadequate emissions-cutting plans, which dozens of nations demanded.

After the deal was approved, Cop30 president Andre Correa do Lago said that the tough discussions will continue under Brazil’s leadership until the next annual conference “even if they are not reflected in this text we just approved.”

UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres said the deal shows “that nations can still come together to confront the defining challenges no country can solve alone.”

He said: “I cannot pretend that Cop30 has delivered everything that is needed. The gap between where we are and what science demands remains dangerously wide.”

Amnesty International slammed the deal, accusing the leaders of placing “profit over people” and saying it lacked “accountability and transparency.”

Amnesty said that “the final document avoided any mention of fossil fuels, the primary driver of climate change, failing to build on or even to reaffirm the commitment to ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels agreed upon in Cop28.

“A record number of fossil fuel lobbyists at Cop30 showed who had the real access, leaving humanity, especially those already the most marginalised, to suffer the deadly consequences of their plans to continue fossil fuel expansion and to be the ones to pump the last barrel of oil,” said Amnesty climate justice adviser Ann Harrison.  

The Elders group of former world leaders said: “Cop30 didn’t deliver the results needed. Major emitters have blocked a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.”
