On Palestinian Prisoners' Day, observed annually on April 17, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs released alarming figures on the escalating scale of "Israel's" mass detention of Palestinians as of early April 2025.

'Resistance is an idea and you can never ever kill an idea,' says Australian activist
Outside the Parliament of Australia, an Australian activist declared, "Resistance is an idea and you can never ever kill an idea," adding, "Palestine will be free from the river to the sea," despite "Israel's" war on Gaza and its atrocities. In the span of 10 months, "Israel" has killed more than 39,600 Palestinians and injured 91,600 others in the Gaza Strip. It has starved children, women, men, and the elderly. The Israeli occupation has torn families apart and made Gaza a breeding ground for infectious diseases, with polio most recently detected in the wastewater.
