### **6. Tribal council in Gaza: killing of Abu Shabab closes a dark chapter that does not represent us**

The Higher Council for Tribal Affairs in Gaza confirmed that the killing of the militia leader supported by the occupation, Yasser Abu Shabab, was not surprising but rather a natural result for someone “who chose to side with the occupation at the expense of his people, values, and traditions.”
In its statement, it said that the Palestinian people — with their tribes, factions, and families — distinguish between political disagreement, which can be discussed and resolved through dialogue, and a person becoming a tool in the hands of the occupation, which “grants safety only to its own interests and recognizes only the force imposed on it.”

### **7. CNN investigation reveals the secret behind the disappearance of aid-seekers’ bodies in ‘Zikim’**

A broad investigation by CNN shows that the Israeli army bulldozed and buried the bodies of some of those killed near the crossing in shallow, unmarked graves, while other bodies were left exposed under the sun to decompose, with no Palestinian entity able to reach them.
The investigation relied on hundreds of photos and videos, testimonies of eyewitnesses and relief truck drivers, as well as satellite imagery showing repeated bulldozer activity in the area during the summer. Two geolocated videos show partially buried bodies next to an overturned aid truck — the same scene described by the families of the missing.

### **11. Turkish broadcaster TRT condemns Israel’s participation in Eurovision**

The Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) strongly objected to Israel’s participation in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest during the meeting of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) held Thursday in Geneva, due to the genocide committed in Gaza.
The EBU decided, during its General Assembly, to allow Israel to participate in Eurovision 2026 in Vienna after voting on new participation rules, despite opposition from countries calling for Israel’s exclusion over the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
The meeting witnessed strong objections from TRT, which demanded Israel’s exclusion due to its ongoing war in Gaza, stating that Israel has long been carrying out a systematic genocide against Palestinian civilians.

### **12. Irish Solidarity Campaign: boycotting Eurovision is essential to confront normalization**

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) welcomed the decision by Irish broadcaster RTÉ to reaffirm its commitment not to participate in or broadcast Eurovision 2026, following the EBU’s decision to allow Israel — accused by activists of practicing apartheid — to take part in the contest.
Zoe Lawlor, IPSC chair and cultural liaison officer, said RTÉ’s stance is the result of ongoing efforts by activists, artists, labor unions, and RTÉ’s own staff.
She also praised the broadcaster’s recognition of Israel’s deliberate killing of many Palestinian journalists and its ban on international journalists entering Gaza.
The IPSC added that the Eurovision boycott campaign is part of a global movement aiming to prevent the occupation from whitewashing its crimes through culture and the arts, stressing that the international community’s failure to hold Israel accountable is what enabled it to continue its repressive policies up to the point of genocide.
The campaign also praised the positions of national broadcasters in Spain, the Netherlands, and Slovenia, which took similar stances, and affirmed continued cooperation with European partners to pressure all broadcasters to withdraw until Israel is fully excluded.

### **13. Event in New York to inform passersby and participants about the Palestinian charity organization**

Members of the New York Cycling Club for Palestine gathered in Central Park during Thanksgiving weekend in an event aimed at raising awareness in New York about the Palestinian charity “Sunbirds in Gaza.”
The club introduced participants and passersby to the organization’s work and its humanitarian role in the Strip amid the difficult conditions faced by athletes and the injured there.
During the event, a short film about the founders of “Sunbirds in Gaza,” Alaa Al-Dali and Karim Ali, was shown. The film tells the story of Al-Dali — a cyclist from Gaza who was injured by occupation gunfire, leading to the amputation of his leg — and it was screened last month at the Bicycle Film Festival before beginning a global tour to be shown in various cities around the world.
