Palestinian presidency warns of looming ‘Israeli' assault, mass displacement in Gaza

Roya News19 hours ago

The Palestinian presidency on Sunday warned of the growing danger posed by what it described as escalating 'Israeli' threats to launch a new, devastating military operation in the Gaza Strip.
The operation, it said, could coincide with what it called 'the largest mass displacement' of Palestinians in the territory to date.
In an official statement, presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh said the threats signal a potential new humanitarian catastrophe, urging the US administration to intervene immediately to halt the escalation and push for an immediate ceasefire, if Washington is serious about achieving regional stability.
Abu Rudeineh stressed that 'Israeli' policies—both in Gaza and through ongoing efforts to annex land in the occupied West Bank, are fueling further conflict and undermining stability. He warned that continued attempts by the occupation to derail de-escalation efforts threaten to sabotage international and regional efforts aimed at ending the aggression.
He added that any initiatives that fail to secure the rights of the Palestinian people, especially the establishment of an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, will not bring peace or security. Instead, they will deepen chaos and drive the region toward further escalation.

In lieu of defeating Hamas, Netanyahu elevates release of Gaza captives to top priority

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that his their "victory" over Iran in their 12-day war had created "opportunities", first including freeing captives held in Gaza. "Many opportunities have opened up now following this victory. First of all, to rescue the hostages," Netanyahu said in an address to officers of the security services. "Of course, we will also have to solve the Gaza issue, to defeat Hamas, but I estimate that we will achieve both goals," he added. In a statement late Sunday, the main group representing the captives' families welcomed "the fact that after 20 months, the return of the hostages has finally been designated as the top priority by the prime minister". "This is a very important statement that must translate into a single comprehensive deal to bring back all 50 hostages and end the fighting in Gaza," the 'Hostages and Missing Families Forum' said. Palestinian armed groups seized 251 captives during the events of October 7, 2023. Of these, 49 are still believed to be held in Gaza, including 27 the 'Israeli' military says are dead. Hamas also holds the body of an 'Israeli' soldier killed there in 2014. The forum called for the captives' "release, not rescue".

Occupation conducts military exercise on border with Jordan after completion of "Gilead" Division

Ammon News - The Israeli occupation army revealed that the newly established "Gilead 96" Division on the border with Jordan conducted its first large-scale military exercise last Thursday. The exercise simulates emergency scenarios and rapid response to escalating events to enhance combat readiness. Units from various security agencies participated and were supervised by specialized training centers, according to Ynet. The commander of the Israeli army's Central Command, Major General Avi Bluth, said that "the outbreak of war with Iran provided an opportune opportunity to accelerate the formation of the new division on the Jordanian border." The Israeli occupation army officially announced the completion of the formation of the "Gilead 96" Division along the eastern border with Jordan just 48 hours after the outbreak of the Iran-Israel war this month, although the division's operational launch had been planned for August. The acceleration of the division's establishment came in light of rapid regional developments. It was formed to bolster Israeli defenses on the eastern border, and is now responsible for securing the border with Jordan, Ynet added.

Iran denies threatening UN nuclear chief after media execution demand

Iran on Sunday denied posing any threat to the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog or its inspectors, following growing international concern over a hardline Iranian newspaper's call for the execution of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi. 'There is not any threat,' said Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, in an interview with US broadcaster CBS. He was responding to calls by Kayhan, a state-affiliated ultra-conservative newspaper in Iran, which accused Grossi of spying for Israel and demanded he be executed. The ambassador added that IAEA inspectors working in Iran are 'in safe conditions.' The Kayhan editorial triggered international outrage. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the remarks, writing on X that the calls for Grossi's 'arrest and execution' were 'unacceptable and must be condemned.' The newspaper is known as a mouthpiece for Iran's hardline establishment, and its editor, Hossein Shariatmadari, is a close advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The controversy comes amid rising tensions between Iran and the IAEA, following a recent resolution passed by the agency's board of governors accusing Tehran of failing to fully disclose its past nuclear activities. The resolution further strained relations, especially as Iran accuses the IAEA report of paving the way for 'Israel's' recent military strikes and a 12-day conflict between the two countries. Iran's parliament recently voted to suspend cooperation with the IAEA until the agency formally condemns 'Israeli' and US attacks on its nuclear sites and acknowledges Iran's nuclear program. Despite accumulating over 400 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60 percent purity, just short of weapons-grade level, Iran maintains that its nuclear program is strictly peaceful. Western governments and 'Israel', however, view the enrichment as a sign of possible military intentions.
