1. Gaza Civil Defense: Half of our services paralyzed due to lack of fuel**

The General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announced that nearly 50% of its services have effectively stopped due to the severe shortage of fuel needed to operate essential vehicles and equipment, including fire trucks, rescue vehicles, ambulances, and gasoline-powered generators used to remove hazards and rescue trapped individuals.
The directorate stated that the remaining equipment constitutes the backbone of firefighting, rescue, and evacuation operations, noting that the ongoing fuel shortage threatens to halt these humanitarian missions entirely.

### **2. Educational tents in Gaza… and a strong determination to attend them**

With hundreds of schools destroyed and those remaining turned into shelters due to the Israeli assault on Gaza, tents have become temporary classrooms.
It is a return to a time when the teacher stands before a group of students sitting on the ground, holding notebooks whose pages have been reattached and stapled together. Teaching relies on primitive tools such as a wooden board hung on a worn-out tent, whose corners are tied with sturdy ropes to wooden poles set up at the edges of the rectangular tent, divided into several rooms—each containing children of different age groups.

### **4. International Organization “Hached”: The West Bank and Jerusalem are witnessing dangerous escalation and settlement expansion**

The International Commission to Support Palestinian Rights (Hached) stated that this year’s International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People “comes amid an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe resulting from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which has caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries, and widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, and vital sectors, along with ongoing siege and starvation that threaten a total collapse of the Strip.”
The statement notes that the West Bank and Jerusalem are experiencing a dangerous escalation, including daily raids, arbitrary arrests, torture, land confiscation, settlement expansion, settler violence, and attempts to impose Israeli control over Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The organization confirmed that global solidarity with the Palestinian people is a legal and moral duty, warning that continued international silence regarding these crimes undermines the human rights system and exposes double standards.

### **7. BDS Movement calls for escalating the boycott after the UN decision**

The BDS Movement warned of the dangers of Resolution 2803 adopted by the UN Security Council on November 17, 2025, considering it a step toward legitimizing the U.S.–Israeli plan aimed at restructuring the Gaza Strip under external administration and weakening accountability for crimes committed during the war.
The resolution, according to UN documents, establishes a temporary international stabilization force and a transitional authority to manage the Strip, control borders and security, oversee reconstruction, and implement “disarmament” programs and the rebuilding of civil and security institutions—all without any mention of Israel’s responsibility for the massive destruction in Gaza.
The committee explained that these proposed bodies provide international cover for Israel to rehabilitate its image after a war that has left about 70,000 dead and more than 170,000 wounded since October 2023.

### **8. Irish movement introduces bill for economic sanctions on Israel**

The movement “People Before Profit–Solidarity” announced the introduction of the “2025 Sanctions Against Israel Bill” in the Irish parliament (Dáil), aimed at imposing comprehensive economic sanctions on Israel to force it to end the genocide and apartheid committed against the Palestinian people.
MP Richard Boyd Barrett, from the movement, said:
“The time is over for treating Israel as if it were a normal state. For decades, Israel has been guilty of illegal occupation, ethnic cleansing, apartheid against the Palestinian people, and over the past two years in Gaza it has committed the greatest crime of all — genocide.”
He added: “Netanyahu, senior ministers, military leaders, and media figures in Israel do not hide their genocidal intent and publicly declare their aim to erase Palestine from the map and deny Palestinians their most basic human and political rights.”
