"#Israeli occupation forces enforced a ban on the #UnitedNations agency for #Palestinian refugees on Thursday by storming three schools in East Jerusalem, terrorizing children and staff as they shuttered the facilities and drawing condemnation from human rights defenders.

According to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, heavily armed Israeli security forces raided the schools in the Shu'fat refugee camp in illegally occupied East Jerusalem, detaining one UNRWA employee and forcing around 550 children out of their classrooms as the invaders closed the facilities.

“You can't talk about de-weaponizing the nation who is under occupation, while they are occupied by the most powerful army in the region. Hamas did not invent the resistance for Palestine. In fact, the Palestinians resisted the British occupation and, since then, the Israeli occupation for decades." Osama Hamdan, senior Hamas official

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) delivered a letter, signed by hundreds of prominent Muslim organizations and individuals in the UK, to the Prime Minister Keir Starmer, urging him to recognize a Palestinian state.
The signatories marked four demands on the UK government: to urge the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, to immediately cease all arms exports and military support to Israel's government.

TelegramQuds News NetworkThe Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) delivered a letter, signed by hundreds of prominent Muslim organizations and individuals in the UK, to the Prime Minister Keir Starmer, urging him to recognize a Palestinian state. The signatories marked four demands on the UK government: to urge the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, to immediately cease all arms exports and military support to Israel's government, to demand an end to mass killings and the return of all hostages and prisoners, and to recognise Palestine as a sovereign and independent state. "For the past 18 months, we have seen the indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinians daily and found very little support from the government to take practical steps to prevent this," the letter reads. It added, "Beyond vague and equivocating statements, the actions have been the opposite; including the supply of weapons parts, surveillance flights or allowing the free passage of UK citizens to join the [Israeli army]."
