Over the past 48 hours, millions of people around the world personified when they took to the streets.
Of course, mainstream media deliberately sought to minimise the coverage of these protests.
But we have seen them.
Our people in Gaza have seen them.
We draw strength, knowing that there are millions of decent people across the West who oppose their governments criminal support to Israel as it plans its next phase of ethnic cleansing.
We draw strength from seeing people expose complicit media organisations for their unforgivable role in enabling this ongoing genocide in Palestine.
We salute our people in Gaza who sacrifice their lives and their limbs in pursuit of their freedom.
And we salute the free people of the West who march in support of our just cause.
Continue to raise your voices across social media; continue to march and protest; continue to defy all unjust labels and smears; continue your opposition to the illegal occupation until the people of Palestine succeed in their struggle against apartheid!
Hamas has always said that there is no surrender, there is only freedom and justice.
We reiterate this stance again, and just as we ask all the people around the world to continue organising, campaigning and lobbying.
We affirm that we will continue our struggle until ending the occupation and establishing our independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital
Amid ongoing Israeli bombardment in the besieged Gaza Strip, the World Health Organization (WHO) issues a stark warning, stating that there is only "24 hours of water, electricity, and fuel left." Simultaneously, following sirens sounding in Jerusalem, Hamas takes responsibility for firing rockets toward Israel. Reports of a ceasefire in southern Gaza, as suggested by security sources in Egypt, are denied by both Israel and Hamas. Tensions escalate as Israel deploys thousands of troops, tanks, and weaponry along the border fence with Gaza, raising concerns of a potential ground invasion.
Surgeon treating patients in Gaza says police in London ‘harassed’ his family A surgeon based in London who has travelled to Gaza to treat patients at a hospital in the territory alleges that counter-terror police have “harassed” his family.
Prof Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a practice in west London, has made several media appearances this week live from Gaza. He claimed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that officers showed up at his home in London.
A spokesperson for the Met said: “On 16 October, police officers responding to a report that a man was planning to travel to a war zone attended an address in north London where they spoke with one of the occupants.
“Having identified that the man had left the UK for humanitarian purposes, the officers signposted the occupant to current FCDO advice.”
Abu-Sittah, speaking live from Gaza, told Newsnight: “I think it’s a brutal attempt at harassment and silencing us.
“I remain committed to speaking out on behalf of my patients and on behalf of the wounded here, on behalf of these families that are being destroyed. There are 50 families that are wiped out of the civil register, that means the grandparents, the parents and the grandchildren are all killed.”
He said it was his “duty to bear witness to the carnage being committed against them so it would stop”.
He added: “These police tactics, as if my wife didn’t have enough to worry about that she had to endure this today. It’s now been taken up by [my] lawyers.
“I need to find out why someone thought it would be a good idea for them to show up at my house and ask my wife which part of the hospital I’m in, and why did I go, and who paid for my ticket and which charity do I work for.
“At these times, these difficult times, my family is seeing this bombing unfold knowing I’m in the midst of it to have them harassed in this way has been just bizarre.”
