5 Alarming Reasons Vucic Denounces Collapse of International Legal Order After U.S. Attack on Venezuela
Speaking after an emergency session of Serbia’s National Security Council on Sunday, President Aleksandar Vučić delivered a stark assessment of the current global system: “The international legal order and the UN Charter no longer function at all.”
This blunt declaration marks a significant shift in Serbia’s diplomatic rhetoric and reflects growing disillusionment among non-aligned and Global South nations with the efficacy of multilateral institutions. Vučić argued that the Venezuela operation—justified by Washington as a “counter-narcotics mission”—exposes a brutal reality: “In today’s world, the only rule is the law of the strongest.” He added, “Whoever is stronger exerts pressure—that is the only principle of contemporary politics.”

Cuba denounces attack on Venezuela as an act of state terrorism
“This is not about fighting narco-terrorism, as they falsely claim, but about destroying a project of integration and resistance that was born with Commander Hugo Chávez,” he asserted.
The Cuban president categorically rejected the Monroe Doctrine and any extraterritorial claims over Latin American territory, while demanding that the United States provide immediate proof of life for Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
Diaz-Canel also compared the action to the crimes against humanity committed by Israeli Zionism in Gaza, emphasizing its illegal, immoral, and international law violations.
“This is not just an attack against Venezuela; it is a threat against all of humanity,” he warned, and called on the international community to mobilize unequivocally against the advance of modern fascism, disguised as foreign policy.
Cuba, he reaffirmed, is prepared to defend, “with its own blood if necessary, the independence of Our America.”

UNRWA Situation Report #197 on the Humanitarian Crisis in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem
(November 18, 2025)
The Gaza Strip
According to OCHA, heavy rain has affected over 13,000 households across the Gaza Strip, with hundreds of tents and makeshift shelters affected across the Strip. Immediate needs include winterization items including blankets, mattresses, tarps, jerricans, winter clothing, and tents. Many families temporarily sought refuge in UNRWA schools-turned-shelters after fleeing flooded sites.
According to OCHA, following the withdrawal of Israeli Forces from parts of the Gaza Strip under the ceasefire agreement, Israeli military strikes near or east of the so-called “Yellow Line” continue to be reported, resulting in casualties among civilians.
As of 10 November, the Site Management Cluster estimates that about 1 million people, out of a total population of 2.1 million, are residing in 862 displacement sites across the Gaza Strip. Among them, about 79,000 people are estimated to live in 85 UNRWA shelters and their surrounding areas.
As of 13 November, UNRWA operated 324 temporary learning spaces (TLS) across 58 shelters, providing in-person learning activities for over 40,000 children boys and girls, including in the northern area and Gaza City.
UNRWA has expanded by 40 per cent its provision of domestic water supply in Gaza City and the northern area, thanks to the rehabilitation of water well no. 3 in Jabalia (repaired on 5 November). The restored well now enables the Agency to provide clean water to an additional 20,000 residents, including returnees in the north.
UNRWA, as part of a joint team with MoH and PRCS, and with the support of UNICEF, continues its catch-up immunization campaign, with 2,042 children vaccinated and screened for malnutrition by UNRWA (29 per cent of total reached by the joint campaign).
The occupied West Bank including East Jerusalem
Israeli Forces continue to be deployed in the three northern West Bank refugee camps of Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams. According to a recent damage assessment conducted by the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), further destruction has been rendered inside the camps, including newly expanded roads and additional earth mounds constraining access.
At least four Palestinian children were killed as a result of occupation-related violence, including one inside El Far’a refugee camp on the evening of 16 November.

Yesterday was an exciting day in Genoa, with a huge celebration that began in the afternoon at the Music for Peace headquarters, one of the collection points for the 300 tons of aid brought by the Genoese and arriving from other Italian cities and even abroad, amid a constant flow of people. Forty tons were expected, and part of it will be reserved for Sudan, where a terrible and little-discussed humanitarian crisis is underway. Volunteers worked tirelessly to pack the enormous quantity of basic necessities, a tangible sign of a wave of generous popular solidarity, contrasting with the cowardice and inertia of European governments, incapable of reaching an agreement to stop Israel.

UNIFIL statement on attack on peacekeepers clearing roadblocks (3 September 2025)
Yesterday morning, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) drones dropped four grenades close to UNIFIL peacekeepers working to clear roadblocks hindering access to a UN position close to the Blue Line.
This is one of the most serious attacks on UNIFIL personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement of last November.
One grenade impacted within 20 metres and three within approximately 100 metres of UN personnel and vehicles. The drones were observed returning south of the Blue Line.
The IDF had been informed in advance of UNIFIL’s road clearance work in the area, southeast of the village of Marwahin. Out of concern for the safety of peacekeepers following the incident, yesterday’s work was suspended.
Any actions endangering UN peacekeepers and assets, and interference with their mandated tasks are unacceptable and a serious violation of Resolution 1701 and international law. It is the responsibility of the IDF to ensure safety and security of the peacekeepers performing Security Council-mandated tasks.
