New ‘Nakba’ in Jerusalem: Israel steps up Silwan demolitions near Al-Aqsa

Israeli authorities demolished 54 homes in the al-Bustan neighbourhood of occupied East Jerusalem's Silwan district since October 2023, according to researchers, as part of plans to expand Israeli settler compounds and biblical-themed parks near Al-Aqsa Mosque. The demolition rate has accelerated sharply from roughly one to two homes annually between 2006 and 2023; Aviv Tatarsky of the Israeli human rights organisation Ir Amim described the escalation as "devastating" and warned that the neighbourhood, home to approximately 1,500 Palestinians, faces potential complete depopulation.

Filmmakers slam BBC after Gaza documentary wins award despite being dropped

Filmmakers behind "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" used their BAFTA TV Award win on Sunday to publicly criticize the BBC, which had commissioned but dropped the documentary in June 2023 before Channel 4 broadcast it; presenter Ramita Navai accused the BBC of censorship, stating the corporation had "paid for" the film but "refused to show it." The documentary examines Israeli military operations targeting Gaza's healthcare system and challenges official Israeli claims regarding hospital strikes, a framing the BBC cited as a reason for withdrawal, citing concerns over impartiality standards.

Zohar : Hamas plotted October 7 attacks during Bennett - Lapid government

Culture and Sport Minister Miki Zohar claimed on Sunday that Hamas planned the October 7, 2023 attacks during the 2022 Bennett-Lapid government, attributing the planning to perceived weakness when an Arab party participated in the coalition—despite the attacks occurring under Prime Minister Netanyahu's administration. Former Prime Ministers Bennett and Lapid rejected Zohar's statements as an attempt to evade accountability, with Bennett stating the current government "transferred suitcases of dollars to Hamas" and allowed the militant group to strengthen, while Lapid accused the Netanyahu administration of ignoring warnings and strengthening Hamas "as a matter of policy."
