📰 A wide range of UK-made military goods and arms, including F-35 fighter jet parts, have continued to be sent to Israel even after the British government suspended 30 arms export licences in September, Israeli import data revealed in a report on Wednesday suggests.
The report released by three campaign groups says parts for the jet, which has been critical for Israel's war on Gaza, appear to have arrived in Israel as recently as March, five months after the UK said it had suspended its direct exports over concerns they might be used in serious violations of international humanitarian law.

"Despite assurances from Syria's interim self-declared president and former al-Qaeda commander, Ahmed al-Sharaa, that religious minorities would be protected, the regime has already begun imposing 'Sunni Islamist' strictures on many aspects of society, including school curricula and the gender segregation of public transportation.
Meanwhile, sectarian violence by state-linked groups and non-state militias persists.
It is in the context of this sectarian violence that Israel saw an opportunity to further a programme that the Zionist movement had pursued since the 1920s: to create new, or exploit existing, schisms among religious groups in Palestine and the surrounding Arab countries, in a classic divide-and-conquer strategy"

📹 In a wave of strikes across Yemen’s capital, Israel bombed Sanaa international airport on Tuesday.
Israel said its strike was in retaliation for a Houthi missile attack on Israel’s Ben Gurion airport on Sunday, which marked the first known instance of a Houthi missile penetrating Israel’s air defences.
In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to strike back against the group in a “phased” retaliation consisting of “not one bang but many bangs”, striking the country’s Hodeidah port on Monday.
As a result, 70 percent of the port’s docks and warehouses were damaged, which typically facilitate 80 percent of Yemen’s food imports.

🎥 At a parliamentary session on Tuesday, Labour MP Uma Kumaran asked why the UK had not taken action against Israel after it announced plans to indefinitely occupy all of the Gaza Strip in recent days.
Arguing that "the time has come for significant action", Kumaran asked why the UK had not done so when any other country would have been met with a response long ago.
Kumaran was speaking as Israel's blockade of aid into Gaza reaches its third month, with 66,000 children suffering from severe malnutrition. Rather than agreeing to let aid in, Israel has instead called up 70,000 reservists as it plans for an invasion that would permanently conquer the strip and force its population into civilian compounds in Rafah. Aid groups have criticised the plan as a violation of humanitarian principles and refused to cooperate

🎥 The US is “merging” its Office of Palestinian Affairs with its embassy to Israel, the State Department said on Tuesday, in a step that signals a much-anticipated downgrade in US relations with the Palestinians.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had decided to end the Office of Palestinian Affairs, known as OPA, in its independent status and make it an office within the embassy.
The decision is "not a reflection on any outreach, or commitment to outreach, to the people of the West Bank or to Gaza", Bruce said.

After doctors narrowly saved Maram Manaa’s daughter from a life-threatening asthma attack, she pleaded for proper treatment to stop the attacks from returning.
The Palestinian mother of three waited anxiously at her daughter’s bedside in a field hospital in central Gaza.
When the doctor finally returned, he was holding a plastic water bottle.
It had been fashioned into a makeshift spacer, connected to an inhaler far too strong for a child that age.
“This is all we’ve got,” he told her.
