For those in Gaza, who survived more than five months of genocide, there is no food for Iftar. Israel is still blocking aid from reaching the most desperate, and people are cooking grass to have something, anything, to break their fast with. Babies and children are all malnourished, and dozens have already died from lack of food and clean water. Everyone in the besieged enclave lost someone, but they are not even provided with the time and space to breathe, mourn and process their trauma. There is no mosque left undamaged, and no safe place for collective prayer. Indeed, people of Gaza are still under constant bombardment. Even those who tried to find refuge in Rafah, that last so-called “safe zone” in the besieged enclave, are still being threatened with a ground invasion – an invasion that would undoubtedly kill and maim thousands more innocents.

In this video, AlJazeera shows palestinians getting ready for Iftar.

Al Jazeera mentions in this article:

  • To Palestinian and Israeli observers alike, different interpretations over the meaning of the slogan hang on the term “free”. Nimer Sultany, a lecturer in law at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, said the adjective expresses “the need for equality for all inhabitants of historic Palestine”.
  • Freedom here refers to the fact that Palestinians have been denied the realisation of their right to self-determination since Britain granted the Jews the right to establish a national homeland in Palestine through the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
  • Sultany, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, said "It’s important to remember this chant is in English and it doesn’t rhyme in Arabic, it is used in demonstrations in Western countries. The controversy has been fabricated to prevent solidarity in the West with the Palestinians."
  • According to the Jewish Virtual Library, the party’s original party manifesto in 1977 stated that “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty”. It also argued that the establishment of a Palestinian state “jeopardises the security of the Jewish population” and “endangers the existence of the state of Israel”.
  • Israel’s ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, has been among the promoters of international recognition of the Jewish historic claim to lands from the river to the sea.

Al Jazeera said in this video:

The Israeli Army has accused Hamas of using hospitals as a convenient cover for its Fighters and an elaborate system of tunnels. On November 5th, the Israeli Army published a video on X that claims to reveal the entrance to a tunnel used by Hamas Fighters. After further analysis, our digital investigations team found that this structure is nothing more than a water reservoir. To further verify its finding, the team tracked down one of the original Engineers who worked on the construction of the Hospital by cross-referencing his diagram with the images in the video released by the Israeli Army our digital investigations team was able to clearly identify that pressure equalisation pipe commonly used for water and fuel tanks or reservoirs. Its conclusion is that the only thing this video confirms is that there is a water tank on the property, not a tunnel used by Hamas Fighters.

Al Jazeera mentions in this video:

  • The three countries Bahrain, UAE, and Israel committed to peace but there were no Palestinian representatives at this event. What was shown in front of cameras in Washington was a political triumph and a normalization of regional relations that doesn't meaningfully address the injustices faced by people living in the region.
  • The Arab media covered all the bases. Newspapers like UAE Khaleej Times ran a cover page greeting Israeli leaders. Religious media channels in the UAE delivered sermons on TV and online emphasizing the duty of Muslims to trust their leaders' decisions. Dubai TV, Bahrain TV, and the Israeli Channel 12 hosted a simultaneous live broadcast to mark the signing of the accords.

In this video, it mentions:

Normalisation is basically a diplomatic-speak for two countries having some kind of formal relationship where before there was none through things like trade deals, setting up embassies and direct flights. But not that long ago the idea of Gulf countries having cordial relations with Israel was unthinkable. There’s been a lot of bad blood.
