BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Mohamed Faizal Dawjee, a communications strategist and former media director for the South African government, denounced the West's position on "Israel's" assault on Gaza, accusing them of being  "complicit in the genocide of Palestinians."

Speaking to Anadolu, Dawjee expressed that the West has "forfeited the right" to preach to the world about human rights, oppression, and freedom. 

Regarding his country's application to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Dawjee stressed the necessity of recognizing that South Africa's foreign policy is founded on human rights, justice, and freedom.

The strategist recalled that Palestinians experience the "same kind of oppression, injustice, and apartheid" that South Africans witnessed, noting that many leaders who visited the occupied territories reported that what they saw was "10 times worse" than events in South Africa.

"We want justice, we want freedom, we want the oppression to end in Gaza and Palestine.”

Dawjee emphasized that South Africa wants justice for Palestine because it believes the occupation is guilty of apartheid and genocide, citing that this "cannot be tolerated."

He highlighted the pressure on the South African government to withdraw from the ICJ case, noting that when the ICJ decided in South Africa's favor, everyone realized that this was a significant matter, and he highlighted that many nations have halted their arms sales to "Israel" due to their worry of being complicit. 

Dawjee referred to a new era of significantly greater social solidarity across countries known as "The Global South," who are uniting and demanding a "new international order."

'Israel' murders 15 Palestinian children through malnutrition: MoH

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, announced today that 15 Palestinian children have died due to malnutrition and dehydration in Kamal Adwan Hospital north of Gaza. 

He further expressed concern over the lives and well-being of another six children in the Intensive Care Unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital who are also suffering from malnutrition, and dehydration amid the shutdown of the electric generator and oxygen adding burden to the already collapsed healthcare system. 

The overall casualties from the Israeli genocide since October 7 last year, have reached 30,410 martyrs and 71,700 injured, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

The UN special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri stated in an exclusive interview with The Guardian that "Israel" is deliberately starving Palestinians and should be held responsible for war crimes and genocide.

“There is no reason to intentionally block the passage of humanitarian aid or intentionally obliterate small-scale fishing vessels, greenhouses, and orchards in Gaza – other than to deny people access to food," Fakhri stated.

He further emphasized that “Intentionally depriving people of food is clearly a war crime. Israel has announced its intention to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part, simply for being Palestinian. In my view as a UN human rights expert, this is now a situation of genocide. This means the State of Israel in its entirety is culpable and should be held accountable – not just individuals or this government, or that person."
