Compilation of news reports – IAK staff
(While a “ceasefire” is ostensibly in place, Israel has continued its assault on Gaza without interruption. If Americans Knew considers the war to be ongoing, and in its 771st day.)
Seventeen martyrs (2 newly killed, 15 bodies recovered) and three wounded arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip in the past 72 hours.
Since the “ceasefire” began on October 11, Israel has killed at least 266 and injured 635. Death toll figures are tentative.
Israel has so far violated the 11 October ceasefire deal in Gaza at least 282 times.

NEWS & HEADLINES ABOUT ISRAEL:
(Israel is a tiny country, about the size of New Jersey, with a population smaller than the US state of Georgia – about 10 million (of which about 20 percent are Palestinians), yet it is in the news constantly. As has been demonstrated again and again, however, mainstream media rarely covers Israel accurately. IAK passes along only factual reporting.)
Ben-Gvir, Smotrich press Netanyahu to rule out a Palestinian state
Two far-right Israeli ministers have urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to explicitly reject the possibility of a Palestinian state.
In a message on X addressed to the Israeli premier, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement, said, “Formulate immediately an appropriate and decisive response that will make clear to the entire world: a Palestinian state will never arise on the lands of our homeland.”
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for Palestinians’ voluntary emigration from Gaza as the “only real solution.”

Former United Nations special rapporteur and international law expert Richard Falk who investigated Israeli abuses against Palestinians says he was interrogated by Canadian authorities on “national security” grounds as he traveled to Canada this week to attend a Gaza-related event.
Falk, who is 95, said on Saturday in an interview that Canadian officials told him, “We’re concerned that you pose a national security threat to Canada.” He said he was interrogated for more than four hours, adding, “It was my first experience of this sort – ever – in my life.”
The event brought together international human rights and legal experts to examine the Canadian government’s role in Israel’s genocide against Gaza (continue reading here).

*NOTE: Thanks to a yearslong program of indoctrination by pro-Israel organizations, the word “antisemitism” has taken on a new, distorted meaning that can include nearly all criticism of Israel – in other words, disapproval of the self-proclaimed “Jewish State” may be incorrectly labeled antisemitic.
