The much-criticized so-called... "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
(GHF)" is halting operations after more than 2,000 Palestinians
were killed in and around its distribution sites, according to
UN figures.
Hamas is urging prosecution of the US-Israeli organization.
It says the GHF contributed to the daily massacres of
Palestinian civilians.

UAE-Israel ‘Peace Railway’ pushes ahead
amid ongoing genocide in Gaza: Report
November 25th, 9:23pm
(PressTV)
The Israeli regime and the United Arab Emirates have quietly
accelerated work on a joint railway project designed to
cement Tel Aviv’s regional interference and bypass
Arab economic boycotts.
Multiple Israeli outlets, including Channel 15 and the Yedioth
Ahronoth paper, revealed on Tuesday that construction of
the so-called “Peace Railway” is already at an
“advanced stage.”
The reports came as the regime perpetrates daily deadly
violations of a supposedly standing ceasefire deal with
the Gaza Strip’s Hamas resistance movement.
Hundreds of Palestinians --- have been killed since the deal’s
implementation began in early October - with the expected
aim of ending Tel Aviv’s genocide in Gaza that had begun
in October 2023, killing tens of thousands, mostly
women and children.
Observers commenting on the violations ---- cite the continuation
of the genocidal pattern, despite Hamas’ verifiable commitment
to the accord.
According to the reports, Israeli transportation minister
Miri Regev ...travelled secretly to Abu Dhabi, last week.
The covert visit... revived technical coordination on a corridor
intended to funnel goods arriving from India through the UAE,
Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. ultimately terminating in the
occupying port of Haifa, for export to the EU and US.
Originally drafted by Washington in 2018 and later incorporated
into the so-called India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor
(IMEC), the project is marketed ----- as a “peace” initiative.
It seeks to build up on the controversial Abraham Accords, that
Washington mediated between several regional states and the
regime in 2022, which enabled a rapprochement between the
states, including the UAE, and the regime.
Last month, Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special
rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, issued
her latest damning report, detailing global complicity
in the genocide.
The report revealed - that trade between Tel Aviv and
Abu Dhabi even increased in 2024 - as the genocide
was in full swing ---------- to the tune of more than
$237 million.

Israel set to bring thousands of Jews
from India for settlement expansion
November 25th, 7:20pm
(PressTV)
Israel is preparing a plan to bring thousands of Jewish-identifying
Bnei Menashe from northeast India and resettle them across the
occupied Palestinian territories.
The Jewish Agency for Israel, an organization that promotes
Zionism globally, confirmed that the Israeli cabinet recently
approved a proposal to absorb about 5,800 members of the
Bnei Menashe community by 2030. The plan is submitted
by Immigration and Integration Minister Ofir Sofer.
"This historic decision will bring approximately 5,800 members
of the community to Israel by 2030, including 1,200 already
approved in 2026," the agency announced.
A large delegation of rabbis is expected to depart for India in the
coming days. “It will be the biggest delegation sent to date and
the first in more than a decade. The delegation will interview
the first half of the community, about 3,000 Bnei Menashe
who have first-degree relatives in Israel,” the
announcement said.
The plan... is expected to require a special budget of 90 million
shekels ($27 million) to cover flight costs, conversion classes,
housing, Hebrew instruction, and other benefits.... for the
incoming colonists.
The group, an ethnic community from the northeastern Indian
states of Mizoram and Manipur, is expected to move to the
Galilee region of the northern part of the
occupied territories.
The northern occupied region has been heavily affected by Israeli
aggression against Lebanon, with tens of thousands of settlers
leaving the area in recent years.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the decision
"important and Zionist," saying it would strengthen the north
with the Lebanese border.
The “Jewishness” of the Bnei Menashe has
long been a subject of intense controversy.
Around 2,500 community members already live in Israeli-
occupied territories. Media reports say most of the
youngsters in the community - serve in combat
units of the Israeli military.
The development comes, while Israel’s military is considering
a plan to recruit young Jews from abroad as it grapples with
a severe shortage of soldiers following its genocidal war
on Gaza and aggression against Lebanon.
Israel’s Army Radio earlier said that the proposal would target
major Jewish communities overseas, particularly in the US
and France, with the aim ------ of enlisting around 700
recruits annually.

UK judge....... 'respected for fairness'
removed from Palestine Action case
November 25th, 6:38pm
(PressTV)
UK authorities have unexpectedly removed a judge widely known
for his "fairness and independence" from presiding over a legal
challenge against the government’s proscription of the
activist group Palestine Action.
Judge Martin Chamberlain had initially granted permission for
the judicial review and was expected to preside over the trial.
However, it has now emerged that a panel of three different
judges will hear the case instead.
The case, which seeks to overturn the designation of the pro-
Palestine organization as a “terrorist” entity, is set to begin
on Wednesday at London’s High Court.
Such a last-minute replacement is ''highly unusual'' --- and has
raised concerns among legal experts and activists in the UK.
A spokesman for Defend Our Juries, which has organized
demonstrations -- against the proscription of Palestine
Action, described Chamberlain as “widely respected
for his fairness and independence,” the
Guardian reported.
Chamberlain, said the spokesman, “had been consistently
confirmed as the judge presiding over this judicial review
– in court documents, correspondence, and in related
criminal hearings involving peaceful protesters
arrested for holding signs.”
Tayab Ali, a partner at the law firm Bindmans, expressed concern
over the “sudden and unexplained shift from the single judge,”
calling on the court to provide “a clear - and credible -
explanation for such a change.”
Emily Apple of Campaign Against the Arms Trade said the judge's
replacement “raises serious questions about impartiality and
transparency in our judicial system, particularly in cases
concerning Palestine.”
Chamberlain had also been replaced earlier this year in a case
that challenged the UK’s sale of F-35 aircraft parts to Israel.
Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, will bring the case
before the High Court after the Court of Appeal last month ruled
there were reasonable grounds to argue that the ban interferes
with rights to freedom of speech and protest.
If successful, the decision could lift the ban, and end the ongoing
campaign of arrests and prosecutions against the pro-Palestine
group activists.
10-week criminal trial begins for Palestine Action activists in UK
One year into their remand, the first criminal court hearing of 24
activists, now known as the Filton 24, takes place following
their entering Elbit Systems’ weapons factory in August
2024 -------- dismantling drones used by Israel against
the Palestinians.
Being a member of or showing support for the group is currently
a criminal offence ---- punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
The Palestine Action judicial review follows months of civil
disobedience by the group, which has opposed UK
military support for Israel.
More than 2,000 people have been arrested since the organization
was banned in July under the "Terrorism Act," mostly for holding
signs reading, “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.”
In recent months, thousands of protesters, international law
experts, and human rights organizations have called on
the UK government -- to end its complicity in Israel’s
war crimes in Gaza.
According to Ammori, banning Palestine Action “was not done to
protect the public; it was done to crush dissent and defend the
Israeli weapons industry.”
Cage International, a London-based human rights organization,
said in a report on Tuesday that the UK government continues
to support Israel’s war crimes in Gaza through military, trade,
and diplomatic ties.
The report said that Palestine Action sparked a wave of civil
disobedience between 2020 and 2025, leading to “a
significant shift in the landscape of activism in
the UK.”
The human rights group stated these actions led to the
temporary shutdown ----- of facilities linked to the
production or supply of the weapons, used by
Israel’s military in Gaza --- including Elbit
Systems’ site in Bristol, which was the
target of numerous protests - by
Palestine Action ---- including
just days before the group
was banned.

Yemen Stands by Hezbollah ----- in Face of
Israeli Tyranny: Sayyed Houthi Condoles
Sheikh Qassem on the Martyrdom of
Commander Tabtabai
November 25th, 5:17pm
(al Manar)
The Head of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik
Badreddine Al-Houthi sent a condolence message to Hezbollah
Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem on the martyrdom of
the great jihadi commander Haytham Al-Tabtabai...... and
his companions.
“We extend our sincerest condolences to you -------- to all our brothers
and sisters in Hezbollah, and to its noble and faithful popular base,
on the martyrdom of the dear brother, the great jihadist leader,
Sayyed Haytham Ali al-Tabtabaei (Abu Ali), and his fellow
martyrs, may God be pleased with them all. We also
extend our condolences to their families and loved
ones. Congratulations to them on their glorious
martyrdom in the path of God, after a life of
jihad, generosity, and achievements.”
According to Sayyed Houthi’s letter, the martyr, the great jihadi
leader, Sayyed Haytham Al-Tabtabai, may God be pleased with
him, lived a life of jihad, generosity, and righteous deeds,
reaching the level of the noble verse: “Say, ‘Indeed, my
prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying
are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.'” (Quran 6:162)
“God enabled him ------ to achieve significant accomplishments and
contribute greatly to the jihadist movement, supporting the truth
and the oppressed. He will remain forever remembered for his
generosity and significant contributions to the field of jihad,
along with his glorious martyrdom in the path of God and
eternal life with the martyrs. God does not waste the
reward of the believers.”
“The Israeli enemy, by committing this heinous crime against the
martyr and his companions, and with its continuous attacks on
Lebanon and Gaza, proves to all the peoples and governments
of the region its inherent aggression and criminal behaviour,”
Sayyed Houthi added, “It will not fulfill any commitments or
agreements, especially with the protection and support
it receives from America.”
“We are confident in the steadfastness and resilience of Hezbollah,
with its strong faith, genuine jihadist approach ---- and successful
practical experience. We affirm our full solidarity with you in
facing the Israeli Zionist tyranny, which targets our entire
Umma. We are certain -- that the divine promise of the
elimination of the temporary Zionist entity, will be
fulfilled, no matter how arrogant and criminal
it becomes.”
“The correct and realistic choice is to move forward consciously
and responsibly in confronting this enemy, resisting its
conspiracies, and carrying the banner of jihad in the
path of God, trusting in His promise. God does not
break His promise, and the outcome, is for the
righteous,” Sayyed Houthi maintained.
The Yemeni parliament, as well as ministries of defense and
foreign affairs, also offered deep condolences to Hezbollah
on the martyrdom of Sayyed Tabtabai.

A Year After the War: Northern Settlers
Left Abandoned as Israeli Enemy
Fails to Rebuild the Frontier
November 25th, 2:40pm
(al Manar)
A year after the Israeli war on Lebanon ended.. northern Zionist
settlers say they are living with the consequences of a conflict
that has left their communities fractured and their region
struggling to recover. Guy Varon --- a Zionist writer for
Channel 12’s website -- reports that the longest war
in “Israel’s” history, has created wounds, that will
shape the north for years to come, most notably
the collapse of entire communities evacuated
for more than 18 months and an economy
that was nearly paralyzed and remains
far from recovery.
Varon writes that displaced settlers speak bitterly of broken
promises and of the reasons that keep them from returning
to a place once simply called “home.”
According to official figures, 85% of evacuated settlers have
gone back. But a closer look, Varon notes ----- reveals stark
disparities: some settlements such as Bassa, HaGoshrim,
and Shlomi are seeing population growth, while others,
including Metula, Shtula, and Ma’ayan Baruch.... are
experiencing population decline and return rates
well below the national average.
Varon stresses that the headline figure does not reflect the reality
on the ground: it excludes new arrivals who moved to the region
after the war, as well as long-time residents who left during
the conflict ------ and have no intention of coming back.
The government, he writes, repeatedly announced - grand
reconstruction plans meant to stem the exodus from the
north. Yet the promised funds have steadily shrunk. Of
the roughly US$3.7 billion pledged, the government
has approved just US$1.5 billion, and only US$1.3
billion has actually been spent. Varon notes that
implementation will take years... and that the
results - remain invisible on the ground.
Data from the Eastern Galilee Cluster and Tel Hai College, he adds,
paint an even bleaker picture of business activity. Some 85% of
businesses in the Galilee reported income losses over the
past year compared with pre-war levels, and 45% say
they are considering shutting down this year.
A large majority report receiving no
government support for months.
Meanwhile, thousands of businesses are still stuck
in lengthy tax-authority procedures, waiting for
compensation promised...... more than
two years ago.
Varon also highlights the testimony of Arieh Ackerman, a longtime
Zionist resident of the Israeli settlement Kiryat Shmona - who left
with his family after two decades in the Upper Galilee. Ackerman
described the mounting hardships — beyond the war itself —
that pushed them to leave.
“There is no culture here, nothing to do, and opportunities are
scarce. After two very difficult years, my children and I are
in therapy. Many homes collapsed -- after divorces. The
government ..doesn’t understand what’s happening
on the ground, and those at the top don’t grasp
-- that there is no real reconstruction here,
at all,” Ackerman added.
The continuing crisis in northern occupied Palestine cannot
be separated from the shifting realities created by the
2023–2024 war, a confrontation that exposed deep
structural weaknesses in the Israeli enemy’s
northern front.
Hezbollah’s sustained pressure along the border — military,
political, and psychological — reshaped the balance of
power and forced a long-term evacuation... that is
unprecedented.

MP Ezzeddine: Israeli Attack --- on Dahieh
Comprises Crime against All of Lebanon
November 25th, 2:12pm
(al Manar)
Member of Loyalty to Resistance bloc, MP Hasan Ezzeddine, stated
that the Israeli enemy’s nature --------- is rooted in crime, killing, and
destruction, without distinguishing between civilians and military
personnel. He emphasized that the enemy’s actions in Gaza are
a testament to its brutality, and that it treats people as mere
numbers, much like US President Donald Trump.
Ezzeddine condemned the attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut,
calling it an aggression and a crime against Lebanon and its people
not just against Hezbollah and the resistance leadership. He noted
that the enemy’s actions are often carried out --- with US approval
and support.
He warned that if the enemy succeeds in destroying Lebanon’s
ability to defend itself, it will lead to an invasion of the country,
as part of the “Greater Israel” expansion project.
Ezzeddine emphasized that the resistance is a fundamental pillar
of Lebanon’s strength and protection, and that it will continue
to defend the country.
Regarding the parliamentary elections, Ezzeddine reaffirmed ---
Hezbollah and Amal Movement’s commitment to participating
in the elections, and dismissed attempts to delay or
cancel them. He challenged those questioning
their popularity, citing a recent poll showing
that 60% of Lebanese oppose disarming
the resistance, including 96% of
Shia Muslims.
He emphasized --- that the resistance is deeply rooted in
the country and will continue on the path of defending
Lebanon - and liberating Jerusalem.

Another Palestinian Martyred
as the Israeli Occupation......
Tightens Grip on West Bank
November 25th, 1:47pm
(al Manar)
Israeli occupation forces assassinated a Palestinian
on Tuesday, after surrounding a house south of
Jenin, in the northern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that Sultan
Nidal Abdul Aziz, 22, from the town of Baqa Al Hatab
east of Qalqilia, was martyred by Israeli gunfire
during the siege.
Witnesses said occupation soldiers encircled the house,
showered it with live ammunition and grenades, and
later seized his body - before withdrawing.
According to the Israeli military, Abdul Aziz was involved in
an attack on August 18, 2024, in which an Israeli settler
was killed inside the industrial zone near the illegal
colony of Kedumim.
The incident was widely referred to in Israeli media.. as
the ‘hammer operation,’ after reports that the attacker
used a hammer in the assault.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army
handed notices of its intention -- to completely
demolish 12 homes and partially demolish
11 homes - in Jenin.
The killing in Merka came -- only hours after Israeli forces
announced the killing of another Palestinian, Abdul Rauf
Khaled Shtayyeh, 30, in the Nablus governorate, after
what they described as an 18 month manhunt.
Human rights groups note: that such targeted killings
are part of the Israeli broader campaign in the West
Bank, where military operations have intensified
since October 2023.
The so-called “Iron Wall” offensive.. launched in January
2025, has focused heavily on Jenin and the surrounding
towns, involving large scale invasions, demolitions,
killings and assassinations.

Israel's 'aggressive' hands ---
must be cut off from region:
Iran parliament speaker
November 25th, 11:27am
(PressTV)
Iran’s Parliament speaker said the Israeli regime’s “aggressive
hand” must be severed from the region to halt its policy of
“borderless crime.”
Speaking at the legislature on Tuesday, Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf
said the regime has resorted to the approach under its “criminal
prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu].”
“For them, there is no difference between Tehran, Beirut,
Doha, Islamabad, Khartoum, and Istanbul,” he said.
The comments came ------ following the regime’s assassination of
Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah’s senior commander,
Haytham Ali Tabatabai, and four other members of the group
in an airstrike against Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Qalibaf emphasized --- that Hezbollah remained “strong and
unwavering,” moving steadily forward, despite Tel Aviv’s
attempts to destabilize the region.
The top legislator described the entity as an enemy “devoid of
human values” and not considering itself bound by any rules
or agreements.
In such circumstances, only “courage and power” could deter the
adversary, he said, underlining --- that forbidding the regime from
continuing its criminal path - is essential to the restoration of
regional stability.
Qalibaf expressed certainty that the region’s resistance movements
would face the entity’s approach of unabated atrocity, with a
coordinated and prudent response, in due course.
“This situation cannot continue. Patience has its limits,” he said,
stressing that the resistance “calculates carefully but acts
decisively… it does not seek war, but it fights well.”
The official, also condemned global powers and international
organizations for bearing witness to the regime’s "brutality,"
yet "lacking the will ..to stop it."
His remarks echoed those made by Mohsen Rezaei, a former
chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps
(IRGC), who underlined during a ceremony on Monday
--- that the regime’s targeted killings of resistance
commanders, are accelerating its own demise.

Speaker Berri: ceasefire ‘Mechanism’
Only Monitors the Lebanese Army &
Turns Blind Eye to Israeli Violations
November 25th, 11:14am
(al Manar)
On Tuesday, the Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri
described the Israeli attack which assassinated top
Hezbollah commander, Haitham Al-Tabtabai, in
Beirut’s Dahiyeh on Sunday: as a dangerous
development, slamming the Cessation of
Hostilities Implementation Mechanism
Committee -- over inaction regarding
the Israeli violations.
In remarks to Al-Jomhouriya Lebanese daily, he said that the
most dangerous aspect of the attack on Haret Hreik is that
it brought the southern suburbs and Beirut back into the
circle of Israeli targeting.
“This is a very dangerous development, showing that there are
no real guarantees to protect the capital and its suburbs, in
light of the enemy’s disregard for any controls and its
continued violation of Lebanon.”
Speaker Berri pointed that the nature of the new attack “indicates
the possibility of an increase in the pace and expansion of Israeli
escalation in the next stage, without any serious intervention to
restrain it from the Mechanism committee.”
“The Mechanism is preoccupied with monitoring the Lebanese army
----- and turns a blind eye to the occupation army’s violations of the
cessation of hostilities agreement,” the Lebanese speaker added.
Meanwhile, Berri warned that the Israeli enemy is taking advantage
of the fragile internal situation “to continue its transgressions and
to exploit Lebanese divisions - in order to serve its interests.”
Berri also slammed some local sides -- over their incitement against
the Lebanese Army because of it’s decision to refuse to be thrown
into confrontation with the people and the resistance.
“It is no secret that some are inciting against the military
institution and its leader ------ because of this sound,
national choice.”

Gaza: Israeli Airstrikes and Demolitions
Continue...... Amid Civil Defense Crisis
November 25th, 10:20am
(al Manar)
A Palestinian man was martyred by Israeli fire on Tuesday
in the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in the
southern Gaza Strip --- according to media reports
from the enclave. The incident occurred within
the area known as the “Yellow Line.”
The murder coincided with a renewed Israeli airstrike beyond the
same demarcation line, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling
targeting wide areas in the eastern part of Khan Younis.
In a separate incident in the central Gaza Strip, the Civil Defense
reported ..recovering the bodies of 14 individuals from under the
rubble of a residential building in the al-Maghazi refugee camp.
The building, located in the “Birkat al-Waz” area, was struck
by Israeli occupation forces - while the victims were inside.
The Civil Defense in Gaza issued an urgent warning: that its vehicle
fleet --------- has completely run out of fuel. It emphasized - that this
shortage will paralyze its ability to carry out critical humanitarian
interventions, such as rescuing casualties from bombed sites.
The agency called for immediate intervention to enable its
life-saving work --- amid the escalating Israeli attacks.
Systematic Demolition of Residential Areas Continues
Meanwhile, as midnight approached...... Israeli occupation forces
continued their demolition of residential buildings in the eastern
areas of Gaza City. This activity appears to be part of a broader
systematic policy --- of destroying residential neighbourhoods
and infrastructure.
Further escalation was reported off the coast of Rafah in the
southern Gaza Strip, where Israeli warships were heard
firing heavy machine guns. The gunfire from the sea
is part of a wider escalation involving land, air,
and naval forces.
These latest Israeli occupation military actions occurred
despite a declared ceasefire, representing a clear
violation of the agreement.
