Israel’s top court backs barring Palestinian politician from election over article

Abu Shehadeh, a key figure in the Palestinian-majority Joint List, was disqualified from standing last month by the Central Elections Committee, a body controlled by the governing coalition.

His disqualification centred on an article he wrote in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas-led attack in southern Israel on 7 October.

The article, titled “The Al-Aqsa Flood: Preliminary Observations”, was published in Arabic by the Arab48 news outlet on 8 October 2023. It presented a preliminary analysis of the attack and its ramifications.

(…)

He also wrote that the attack showed that “Israel and its intelligence services are made up of human beings like us” and could “be prevented from penetrating our countries, parties, and political movements – if there is the will to do so and if we organise ourselves properly”.

IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference

Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.

More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for ‘terror’ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.

Israeli minister calls for war in West Bank, says Israel should ‚do what it did in Gaza‘

„I certainly have solutions. I think we need to go to war in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank). To do there what we did in Gaza. To dismantle the Palestinian Authority, which is a terror authority,“ he said.

Asked what war would mean, Smotrich pointed to earlier Israeli operations in West Bank refugee camps.

„We already did it. There are three refugee camps there that are empty, that we evacuated the population from for its protection and cleansed of all the terror. I want to kill all the terrorists and collect all the weapons,“ he said.

The Palestinian death toll from the nearly three-year Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 74,000, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

At least 21 killed in Gaza, including many children, as unstable building collapses

A building damaged by Israeli strikes collapsed suddenly in Gaza City early Wednesday, killing at least 21 people in their sleep, including 11 children, in a disaster that forced rescuers to dig through the rubble with bare hands.

The sudden collapse of the building, which was known to be unstable due to damage from Israeli strikes earlier in the war, underscored how perilous and desperate living conditions have grown for the majority of the enclave‘s population as a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas stalls.

Israel is a rogue nation. It should be removed from the United Nations

(October 15, 2024)

Over the past year, Israel has launched attacks on multiple countries and occupied territories: the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran.

Yet countries and territories aside, Israel has also targeted one specific organization with a series of unprecedented rhetorical and violent attacks.

Yes, the United Nations. We have all witnessed Israel, in effect, declare war on the UN.

Deutschland muss Aussetzung des EU-Israel-Abkommens zustimmen

(May 8, 2026)

„Die Aussetzung des EU-Israel Assoziierungsabkommens, gegen dessen Menschenrechtsklausel die israelische Regierung permanent verstĂ¶ĂŸt, ist eine juristische und moralische Verpflichtung. Außenminister Wadephul hat die Wahl, Menschenrechte zum Eckpfeiler europĂ€ischer Israel-Politik zu machen – oder mit Doppelstandards weiter die EU zu spalten und internationales Recht auszuhöhlen,“ sagt Julia Duchrow, GeneralsekretĂ€rin von Amnesty International in Deutschland.

„Deutschland sollte nicht lĂ€nger dazu beitragen, dass Israels GrĂ€ueltaten folgenlos bleiben. Stattdessen sollte sich Außenminister Wadephul der Mehrheit der EU-Staaten anschließen und die ĂŒberfĂ€lligen Schritte mittragen: die Aussetzung des Abkommens, ein Verbot des Handels mit illegalen Siedlungen sowie ein Ende sĂ€mtlicher Waffenlieferungen nach Israel“, sagt Philipp Frisch, Direktor von Human Rights Watch Deutschland.

EU faces criticism for secret police data talks with Israel: Report

(August 15, 2026)

The European Commission has been negotiating a secret agreement to share sensitive personal data with Israel’s police service, despite internal legal warnings that the deal could violate international law and put Palestinians at risk, according to a new report by civil rights group Statewatch published by Novara Media, Anadolu reports.

The draft agreement, originally negotiated with the European police agency Europol, would allow the exchange of biometric data, genetic information, location data, political views, and personal details.

Critical research indicates the deal has progressed despite a 2022 ruling by the Council of the EU’s Legal Service which deemed the proposal legally untenable.

EU Moves to Share Data With Israel That ‘Could Be Used to Kill Palestinians’

(August 4, 2026)

Under the plans, the bloc’s law enforcement agency, Europol, would exchange sensitive personal information about Palestinians with Israel’s police force, which is headquartered in the illegally occupied West Bank.

There is also concern the deal could harm members of the Palestinian diaspora, with a risk that activists in Europe could be targeted.

The data would include names, identification numbers, locations, genetic and biometric information and details about people’s political views, beliefs and personal lives.

“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,“ he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli minister.

“Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.

Ben-Gvir also promised Braslavski that he would seek to allow him to personally take part if prisoners are executed under Israel’s recently enacted death penalty law for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks on Israelis.
