Palestinian Territory – Israel’s decision to cut off all humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip until further notice is deeply concerning. This dangerous escalation exacerbates the ongoing humanitarian crisis and weaponises starvation as a tool of genocide.

Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- As Israel considers its next steps after blocking the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza, in violation of the ceasefire agreement, Israeli reports now suggest that the occupation government is planning to also cut electricity and water supplies to the enclave. According to the Israel Hayom newspaper, Israel is willing to cut electricity and water if Hamas does not agree to extend phase one of the ceasefire deal, instead of moving on to phase two.

This past weekend my partner and I got together with a group of friends. We’ve been meeting every six weeks or so since 1982. Originally, this group of lesbians convened to talk about sex: what we were doing, what we wanted to do, what we fantasized about doing. But you know how it is with any relationship. Over time, it can come to embrace so many other things. That’s how it’s been with the group we call “Group” (or sometimes “A Closed Group with No Name”).

President Trump had earlier shocked the world when he used the phrase – ‘just clean out’ Gaza, by transferring the Palestinian population to Jordan & Egypt (25.01.2025).
