Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour said Tuesday that the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of the occupied Palestinian territory and belongs to the Palestinian people, Anadolu reports.

“Gaza is not a piece of land that is hanging in the air for anyone to grab. It belongs to its people. It belongs to the Palestinian people,” Mansour said at the opening session of the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.

Mansour welcomed the Gaza ceasefire and noted the cooperation of all parties involved, including the US, but emphasized that it must be lasting.

Saying that the ceasefire must “not be fragile,” he said, “Israel should not continue to go and kill our people as they wish in the Gaza Strip and other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory.”

He stressed the importance of humanitarian access. “Humanitarian assistance has to be allowed to reach all corners of the Gaza Strip,” and “humanitarians, including the United Nations, including UNRWA (UN Palestinian refugee agency), should be allowed to continue carrying their mandates and their responsibilities.”

“We want to see the beginning of the withdrawal of the Israeli forces to be out completely of the Gaza Strip,” he said, welcoming the move into the second phase of the ceasefire that was signed in late October.

He reaffirmed that the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza “constitute a single territorial unit” that must be unified under the Palestinian Authority, and stressed that Israel “must fully and without delay, withdraw from the Gaza Strip,” calling it essential for any international stabilization effort.

Treatment of Palestinians crossing Rafah is ‘collective punishment,’ Hamas says

HE treatment of Palestinians attempting to use the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt amounts to “collective punishment,” Hamas said today.

Palestinians are suffering “mistreatment, abuse and deliberate extortion” at the crossing, which was opened on Monday, the resistance group said, adding that such treatment “constitutes fascist behaviour and organised terrorism” and amounts to “collective punishment.”

Hamas said: “Painful field testimonies have revealed degrading practices, including the abduction of women from among the travellers, blindfolding them, subjecting them to lengthy interrogations with irrelevant questions, threatening some with their children and attempting to extort one of them into collaborating.

“This confirms that what is happening is not ‘crossing procedures’ but rather systematic violation aimed at instilling fear and deterring people from returning to their homes,” the group added.

The long-awaited reopening of the territory’s southern border crossing with Egypt was supposed to alleviate the punishing military siege of Gaza. 

But Israeli authorities have continued to enforce strict security restrictions and a complex bureaucratic process that allows only a small number of people to travel in either direction.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed that only five ​patients from Gaza had passed ‍through the Rafah crossing on Monday.

Campaigners and MPs concerned by moves to ‘unblock’ arms licences to Israel

BRITAIN’S politicians have written to the Trade Secretary over serious concerns about a reported move towards “unblocking” arms licences to Israel, campaigners said yesterday.

In the letter, led by Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr MP Steve Witherden, 58 parliamentarians told Peter Kyle that they were “extremely concerned” by the government’s apparent move towards lifting the arms licences to Israel that it suspended in September 2024, and the reported transfer of new F-35 fighter jets from a British air base.

Last month, in an interview with the Jewish Chronicle, Mr Kyle said he would revisit Britain-Israel trade talks and the decision to pause arms export licences, arguing that the two issues were “intrinsically linked.”

But campaigners said that position was at odds with the government’s legal obligation to issue or suspend arms export licences in line with Britain’s domestic Strategic Export Licensing Criteria and its international obligations, including under the Genocide Convention.

Alongside a continued supply of spare parts for F-35 jets used in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, research indicates that Britain has played a key role in facilitating the transfer of the aircraft to Israel.

On January 21, it was reported that three new F-35s were transferred from the British air base RAF Mildenhall to Israel.

This was despite the government’s earlier acknowledgement that Israel was not committed to complying with international humanitarian law and suspended 29 of 350 arms licences to the country.

The partial ban included what has been described as an “F-35 carve-out,” allowing exemptions of components supplied through the global F-35 programme from the suspension.

Israeli forces conducted a raid in the West Bank city of Hebron on Saturday, Jan. 31, utilizing heavy machinery to block streets, Anadolu reports.

The report said Israel has intensified attacks in the West Bank during two years of genocide in the Gaza Strip, with assaults continuing in the form of killings, destruction, displacement and settlement expansion.

According to Palestinian figures, Israeli forces and illegal settlers have killed at least 1,110 Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and injured nearly 11,000 others since October 2023.

The International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal in a landmark opinion in July 2024 and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Deadly attacks launched day before border crossing due to open as part of ceasefire deal

Israel has carried out some of its deadliest airstrikes on Gaza in months, killing at least 30 Palestinians, some of whom were sheltering in tent cities for displaced people.

Despite a nominal ceasefire, the Israeli military struck a police station in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood west of Gaza City on Saturday, killing 10 officers and detainees, the civil defence said. It indicated the death toll could rise as emergency responders searched for bodies.

Another strike hit an apartment in Gaza City, killing three children and two women, while seven more people were killed when Israel bombed tents in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

“We found my three little nieces in the street. They say ‘ceasefire’ and all. What did those children do? What did we do?” Samer al-Atbash, an uncle of the three children killed in Gaza City, told Reuters.

The Israeli military said the attacks were carried out in response to an incident on Friday when eight armed men came out of a tunnel in Rafah, southern Gaza. The area is still under Israeli military control under the terms of the October ceasefire.
