Grave crisis deepens in Gaza amid ongoing genocide
Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs in Gaza announced Wednesday that graves have run out in most areas of the Strip, as the death toll continues to rise due to nearly 22 months of what it describes as an ongoing genocide by 'Israel'. In a statement, the ministry said the 'systematic targeting of civilians and continued acts of genocide' have coincided with the depletion of burial space across Gaza. Since October 2023, the 'Israeli' army has fully or partially destroyed more than 40 cemeteries throughout the enclave, the ministry added. It also noted that 'Israeli' forces are preventing Palestinians from accessing cemeteries in areas under military control, leading to the shrinking of burial spaces, exhaustion of existing cemeteries, and a growing shortage of graves for burying both the dead and those killed in Israeli attacks. Compounding the crisis, the army is reportedly blocking the entry of burial shrouds, construction supplies, and other essential materials, preventing proper Islamic burials. 'Israeli' evacuation orders have further reduced available land for burial, as many plots have been turned into shelters for displaced families. As a result, bodies are accumulating in hospital courtyards, and schoolyards and private homes are being used for emergency burials. Some families have reopened old graves to accommodate multiple bodies. The ministry also reported that the cost of preparing a single grave has surged to between 700 and 1,000 shekels (USD 1 ≈ 3.37 shekels), placing additional strain on grieving families. It called on Arab and Islamic countries, as well as humanitarian organizations, to support its newly launched 'Dignity Campaign' to construct free graves and urgently provide burial supplies.

VIDEO: UK Parliament passes order labeling Palestine Action as terrorist group
British Members of Parliament voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to designate Palestine Action a terrorist organization. The amendment to the Terrorism Act 2000 passed with 385 votes in favor and 26 against. It includes the proscription of three groups: Palestine Action, the neo-Nazi Maniacs Murder Cult, and the Russia Imperial Movement. The measure now heads to the House of Lords for approval on Thursday. If passed, it will become law at midnight on July 9. Once enacted, it will be a criminal offence, punishable by up to 14 years in prison, to be a member of, or offer support to, any of the three organizations, unless legal appeals by the groups are successful. While the government has argued the ban is based on national security assessments, several Labour MPs voiced strong opposition, particularly to the inclusion of Palestine Action in the same category as the other two groups. They warned the move 'threatens basic freedoms and sets a dangerous precedent for political dissent,' arguing that Palestine Action, known for its direct action protests against companies linked to the 'Israeli' military, should be viewed as a campaign group rather than a terrorist threat. Some MPs acknowledged the group's history of criminal damage but insisted that its actions did not warrant classification as terrorism. They also criticized the decision to bundle all three organizations into a single vote, which prevented Parliament from considering each on its own merits.

Netanyahu's son buys UK apartment under different name
Avner Netanyahu, son of 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, purchased a 502,500 pound (approximately USD 680,000) apartment in Oxford, UK, in October 2022 using a different legal name, according to a report by the 'Israeli' business newspaper Calcalist published Wednesday. The purchase came during a period of economic instability in the UK, shortly after then-Prime Minister Liz Truss unveiled a controversial mini-budget that caused the British pound to plummet. Avner Netanyahu reportedly paid just under 2 million shekels (USD 593,170), narrowly avoiding the 'Israeli' tax authority's threshold for reporting foreign assets, which is set at 2 million shekels. Calcalist revealed that had the purchase been made just 10 days earlier or later, the value of the apartment would have surpassed the reporting threshold, requiring disclosure to 'Israeli' tax officials. The property was bought under the name Avi Avner Segal, a legal alias Avner adopted using his paternal grandmother's maiden name, the report said. The acquisition was reportedly made in cash, without the need for a mortgage. Avner Netanyahu defended both the alias and the purchase, telling Calcalist that the name change was legally registered with 'Israel's' interior ministry. "I changed my name on my ID card at the Israeli interior ministry, and then changed my passport and driver's licence. It's a package deal," he said. "We reported everything that was necessary to the tax authorities in Israel and Britain. All of my conduct was legal, both here and there." Currently working at Strategy&, a strategic consulting firm within PwC, Avner explained that the name change was motivated by security concerns. At the time of the purchase, his father was the opposition leader, and his request for Shin Bet protection while studying abroad had been denied. "I didn't have security at the time," he said. "I knew that if I walked around with that name, in another country with Muslims, I would get stabbed by the first person who heard it at a train station." As of 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's annual salary is reported to be at least USD 150,000. The purchase and use of an alias have raised questions about legal thresholds and transparency but remain within the bounds of the law according to Avner Netanyahu's statements.
