YouTube has quietly erased more than 700 videos and shut down the accounts of three major Palestinian human rights organizations, a report by The Intercept on Tuesday shows, Anadolu reports.

The deleted accounts belonged to Al‑Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, all of which posted extensive footage alleging violations of international law by Israel in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The Intercept says the video content included investigations of Israeli strikes, testimonies from survivors, and documentation of the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

The removals took place in early October, shortly after the US government imposed sanctions on the groups for their cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC).

YouTube confirmed the account terminations followed a review triggered by US sanctions, citing its obligation to comply with applicable trade and sanctions laws.

Human rights advocates and Palestinian groups said this move is a way to silence Palestinian voices and remove important evidence, pointing out that the organizations were not warned before their channels were deleted and that the removals focused on groups reporting rights abuses instead of extremist content.

South Africa filed a case in December 2023, accusing Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza. Several countries have since joined the proceedings, including Spain, Ireland, Libya, Mexico, Belgium, and Turkiye. The ICJ issued three provisional measures, ordering Israel to prevent genocidal acts and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Israel has killed nearly 69,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,000 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was reached on Oct. 10, based on a 20-point peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump. Israel, however, has violated the truce multiple times.

Palestine reports 27 intrusion by illegal Israeli settlers into Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque last month

Illegal Israeli settlers staged 27 intrusions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem last month, official data showed on Wednesday, Anadolu reports.

The Palestinian Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs said in a monthly report that Israeli forces and illegal settlers stormed the flashpoint site, performed Talmudic rituals and dances, and offered plant sacrifices within the mosque courtyards in October.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, along with a number of Knesset members, also raided the mosque to mark a Jewish holiday last month, the ministry said.

Since assuming his post in 2022, Ben-Gvir has forced his way into the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex 13 times, including 10 times since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, according to the ministry.

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.

The ministry also said that the Israeli army prevented the call to prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in the Old City of Hebron in the occupied West Bank 96 times last month.

According to the report, the Ibrahimi Mosque witnessed the raising of Israeli flags, provocative tours by the Israeli forces, and the placement of religious equipment, including Torah stands, wooden cutters, plastic chairs, tents, loudspeakers, and musical instruments.

Israeli attacks have escalated across the occupied West Bank since October 2023, killing more than 1,065 Palestinians and injuring nearly 10,000 others, according to Palestinian figures.

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.

Tens of thousands of signatures have been collected in England for a petition demanding that Israel be banned from international football over its actions in Gaza and calling for the cancellation of a match between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, Anadolu reports.

The petition, launched by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in the UK and signed by 25,000 people, was delivered to the Football Association at Wembley Stadium by the platform’s director, Lewis Backon.

Backon said outside Wembley Stadium that teams from a state responsible for genocide and apartheid should not be playing in international football competitions.

Aston Villa will face Maccabi Tel Aviv at home in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.

West Midlands Police had classified the match as “high risk” based on current intelligence and past incidents, while the Safety Advisory Group, comprised of police, the municipality and security experts, had announced that away fans would not be allowed into the stadium.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said on Tuesday that another round of confrontation with Israel is “inevitable,” pledging continued preparations for “the next stage of resistance”.

Speaking during a televised address marking Martyrs’ Day, al-Houthi declared, “We recognize the importance of continuing to build upon our preparations for the next round of confrontation with the enemy and those who collaborate with it.”

He added, “We are inevitably heading towards another round of confrontation with the Israeli enemy,” asserting that the Middle East “cannot witness stability, security, or peace as long as the Israeli enemy continues occupying Palestine and pursuing its Zionist agenda.”

Al-Houthi also accused Israel of violating the ceasefire in Gaza, maintaining the blockade, and closing the Rafah crossing, which he said prevents the delivery of humanitarian aid.

He further added that Israeli forces have committed abuses against Palestinian prisoners, including torture and organ theft, and warned that “our enemy is dangerous and extremely criminal, and his ideological background is very dangerous.”

Hind Rajab Foundation files war crimes complaint against former Israeli Premier Ehud Olmert

The Hind Rajab Foundation filed a criminal complaint in Germany accusing former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of war crimes for Israel’s 2008 – 2009 military offensive in the Gaza Strip, known as Operation Cast Lead, the group said Wednesday, Anadolu reports.

German lawyer Melanie Schweizer submitted the complaint to the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Federal Prosecutor General in Karlsruhe, which handles international crimes under Germany’s Code of Crimes against International Law (VStGB), the foundation said in a statement.

Olmert is scheduled to appear Nov. 6 in Berlin at the Haaretz Democracy Conference.

The Foundation argued that as prime minister from 2006 to 2009, Olmert held ultimate responsibility for Israeli military operations in Gaza, which it said resulted in the killing of more than 1,300 Palestinians, including more than 300 children, and widespread destruction to civilian infrastructure.

Human rights organizations, including the UN Fact-Finding Mission (Goldstone Report), Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, previously documented alleged unlawful attacks, the use of white phosphorus in populated areas and restrictions on humanitarian access during the conflict.

Citing the principle of command responsibility, the complaint accused Olmert of authorizing, failing to prevent or failing to prosecute actions it claims amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, it said.

The Foundation urged German authorities to launch an investigation, issue an arrest warrant and prevent Olmert’s departure from the country.

Courts may prosecute serious international crimes irrespective of where they were committed or the nationality of the suspects, under German law.

“The victims of Gaza deserve justice, no matter how much time has passed,” said Dyab Abou Jahjah, general director of the Hind Rajab Foundation. “Those responsible for war crimes must know that accountability has no expiration date and that the world is closing in on impunity.”
