❗️Statement by Hamas:
——
"The Israeli Knesset’s vote on two preliminary draft laws to annex the West Bank and impose 'sovereignty' over the so-called Ma’ale Adumim settlement exposes the ugly face of the Zionist colonial occupation, which insists on pursuing its attempts to “legalize” settlement activity and impose Zionist “sovereignty” over occupied Palestinian land — in blatant violation of all relevant international laws and resolutions.
We affirm that the occupation’s frenzied attempts to annex West Bank territory are null and void and will not alter the reality that the West Bank is Palestinian land — as affirmed by history, international law, and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice issued in 2024.
We hold the Zionist occupation fully responsible for the consequences of these illegitimate laws and call on the United Nations, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to condemn this step, curb the occupation’s policies, and hold it and its leaders accountable for their crimes against the Palestinian people and their flagrant violations of international law."

❗️Maduro claims Venezuela holds 5,000 anti-aircraft missiles to counter US aggression
Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro asserted that the country’s armed forces control over 5,000 Russian anti-aircraft missiles, deployed across the territory to deter foreign aggression. He framed the arsenal as a tool for stability, warning that "Venezuela must be an impregnable homeland.”
The announcement comes amid increased US naval presence in the Caribbean. US fighter jets have destroyed several speedboats allegedly carrying narcotics from Venezuela to the United States, a claim Caracas has dismissed.
Maduro's remarks were made during a military ceremony broadcast on state television, where he praised Venezuela's defense readiness and accused the US of plotting regional destabilization.

❗️Israel defies ICJ ruling, vows to bar UNRWA from Gaza
A senior Israeli official declared on Thursday that “UNRWA will no longer set foot in Gaza,” openly defying a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that ordered Tel Aviv to facilitate UN relief efforts for Palestinians trapped under siege.
Speaking to KAN News, the official repeated Israel’s long-standing accusations that UN agencies in Gaza had “either been a massive failure or taken over by Hamas,” and said the occupation had already informed Washington “in the hope that the Americans will see eye to eye with Israel on this issue.”
The ICJ on Wednesday dismissed those claims, affirming that UNRWA remains indispensable for delivering aid to Gaza’s displaced population and that no other body can replace its role.

❗️Eight-year-old Luay Dweik, who had been suffering from a severe case of hepatitis, has died after Israeli authorities refused to let him leave Gaza for life-saving treatment abroad.
Before his death, his family said his body had turned yellow, his temperature was dangerously high, and his blood sugar and pressure had dropped sharply — yet he was denied the chance to seek care outside the besieged Strip.

❗️Israeli army simulates ‘October 7-style’ Hezbollah attack amid fears of northern front collapse
The Israeli army held large-scale military drills along the northern border this week, simulating what it described as an “October 7-style” operation by Hezbollah.
Over 30 hours of exercises tested Israel’s response to a coordinated infiltration from Lebanon by air, land, and sea, targeting settlements and outposts in the occupied Galilee.
Senior officers admitted that several battalions “severely” failed their missions, exposing persistent weaknesses despite Israel’s deployment of new outposts inside southern Lebanon.
Commanders acknowledged that any real Hezbollah assault would likely catch them off guard, underscoring Tel Aviv’s growing unease over its collapsing northern defenses.
