The family explained that Yasser had deceived them for years by claiming to work in humanitarian aid for Gaza residents. However, shocking footage released by the Palestinian resistance later revealed his involvement in security operations for Israel. Testimonies from those close to him confirmed his affiliation with undercover Israeli units (“Mistaravim”), and even showed him beside an Israeli tank in Rafah wearing a helmet of an Israeli “anti-terror” unit.

The statement emphasized that the family would not allow its name and legacy of resistance to be tarnished by a collaborator, calling on the public and resistance forces to pursue and hold him accountable. The declaration went as far as stating that “his blood is forfeit.” The family urged anyone who followed him to immediately denounce him or risk facing the same consequences.

Previously accused of being affiliated with ISIS and stealing aid trucks, Yasser Abu Shabab has now become a symbol of a far more dangerous Israeli plan: to establish a post-war local force loyal to Israel and present it as an alternative to Gaza’s national resistance leadership. This bold step by the Abu Shabab family has been widely welcomed by Palestinians, who saw it as a clear message to every traitor:“Treason will not be protected—even if it comes from within the household.”

Three Israeli soldiers have been killed in northern Gaza, the military said on Tuesday, in the army's biggest loss of life since Israel collapsed a ceasefire deal with Hamas in March.

Another two soldiers were injured when the group’s vehicle hit a roadside explosive device in the Jabalia area on Monday, according to an initial probe. The military found around 20 similar devices along the route, Israeli media reported.

———

>> The new resolution, seen by AFP, "demands an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties."

>> It also calls for the "immediate, dignified and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups."

>> … the resolution additionally demands the lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

>> It will be put to vote at 4:00 pm Wednesday (2000 GMT), but several diplomats indicated to AFP that they expected the United States to wield its veto power.

>> They added that the representatives from the 10 elected members of the Council, who will introduce the text, tried in vain to negotiate with the American side…

The Israeli government’s decision last Thursday to create 22 new settlements in the West Bank was reported as regular news in most mainstream media. Although it received official condemnations from the UK, Finland, and some Arab states, the decision passed with absolutely no practical consequence for Israel, despite European threats to impose sanctions.

On the other hand, within Israeli politics, the decision was regarded as far from ordinary and received with widespread fanfare. The Israeli Defense Ministry called the decision “historic,” while the Defense Minister, Israel Katz, said that the decision “reinforces Israel’s control over Judea and Samaria,” Israel’s term for the occupied West Bank.” Israel’s hardline Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, celebrated the move as “a great day for the settlement movement and an important day for the State of Israel.”

The geographical distribution of this planned network of settlements, some of it already in existence, will ensure Israel’s grip on the West Bank is all-encompassing. The sprawling web includes four settlements in the Ramallah area in the central West Bank, four in Jenin in the north, four more in Hebron in the south, two in Nablus in the center-north, one in Salfit in the northeast, three in Jericho in the southern Jordan Valley, three more across the Jordan Valley itself, and one in East Jerusalem.

In short, it is annexation in all but name.

>> In this emergency episode, Alia is joined by the international human rights lawyer and former senior UN official, Craig Mokhiber. They discuss a new, controversial mechanism for the delivery of humanitarian aid in Gaza – with American PMC[=Private Military Contractor]s at the core of the system. Craig offers his assessment of why the Israeli-led Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (#GHF) was established, its rejection by the UN and the international aid community for weaponising hunger, as well as the international laws it is breaching. He describes the cruelties and dangers inhering in this new aid system and outlines how individuals, including PMC employees, may be held legally accountable for their participation in the GHF and their association with the IDF’s wider war crimes.

The Gaza Freedom Flotilla started a new attempt at delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza by Sea. The last attempt a month ago was stopped as their ship was attacked by drones. The climate and human rights activist Greta Thunberg is also aboard.

The tracker serves to document the travel of the Flotilla in case of a new attack.

The Israeli couple found the Family Hotel Agoncev on booking.com and arrived last Monday. For most of the stay, the two didn’t see anyone at reception except one man on the first day who gave them the code to the hotel and their room.

“When we went to breakfast, we said there was no toilet paper, and they said they would sort it. We then left for the whole day, and when we came back that evening, there was still no toilet paper. There was no one at reception, but they had left a phone number, so we called and called and called. My husband sent a message.”

The next day, the couple left the hotel. On returning to Israel, Michael-Gayego’s husband saw the WhatsApp response:

'Not because we are Jews, because we are Israeli'

Since the incident, she and her husband have contacted booking.com – “We don’t want to give money to these kinds of people” – but have had no response. They also contacted the Bulgarian embassy in Israel and the Sofia police but have not heard from either.
