The Security Council’s backing of the Trump plan for Gaza ignores international law, punishes the Palestinians, and rewards those responsible for genocide.

🔴 New: Israeli ground forces have pushed back into eastern Gaza City, triggering panic and displacement in neighbourhoods that were supposed to remain off-limits under the US-brokered ceasefire, Al Jazeera reports. According to AJE, Israeli troops advanced roughly 300 meters into the Tuffah and Shujaiya areas on Wednesday, using explosive-laden vehicles, tank fire and heavy shelling. Families described being caught off guard as soldiers returned to zones Israel had withdrawn from when the truce began on October 10. Residents told Al Jazeera they were forced to abandon tents and shelters in narrow alleys as artillery strikes and demolitions hit nearby homes. One displaced man, Raed Shamali, said his family fled after shrapnel tore through their tent, adding that constant bombardment over two days has left people “running for their lives.”

EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE: Israel moved to expand the area under its control in Gaza on Thursday following yesterday’s attacks that killed dozens of Palestinians by advancing with a tank incursion in eastern Gaza City and physically moving the yellow concrete blocks that demarcate the “yellow line” where its troops withdrew to last month as part of the ceasefire agreement. The blocks were moved around 300 meters westward in the neighborhoods of Al-Tuffah and Al-Shujaiya, according to Drop Site contributor @AbdSabbah91 , before the troops withdrew. Families woke up Thursday to suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of the “yellow line” with the Israeli military shelling the area, causing panic and a new wave of displacement. Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said in a statement that Israel “is committing a blatant violation” by shifting the yellow line westward “resulting in the mass displacement of our people.” Qassem said the changes contravene the maps agreed upon in the ceasefire deal and called on mediators to pressure Israel to immediately cease the violations.

🚨 27,000 KILLED IN SUDAN’S DARFUR IN 3 DAYS Darfur governor Minni Arkou Minnawi says 27,000 people were killed in just three days after the RSF captured El-Fasher late last month — a massive jump from earlier estimates of about 2,500 deaths. In March 2025, Senator Chris Van Hollen introduced the Stand Up for Sudan Act to halt U.S. weapons transfers to the UAE “until the UAE is no longer providing materiel support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF)” in Sudan. On Thursday, Van Hollen tried to advance the bill on the Senate floor, but Republicans objected, blocking his effort to call it up. We’ll take a closer look this weekend at Trump and his associates’ close ties to the UAE— which the U.S. classifies as a “Major Defense Partner” and is a buyer of high-end American weapons. Stay tuned. Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen The U.S. has the leverage to help stop the RSF's atrocities in Sudan, RIGHT NOW. But to do that we have to use it. Today, Republicans blocked my effort to pass legislation to suspend arms sales to the UAE until we can verify they are no longer arming the genocidal RSF. Shameful.

⭕️ UN Chief at G20 Warns Military Spending Boom Is Worsening Every Major Crisis. The U.S., Which Is Boycotting, Leads That Spending.

Donald Trump announced earlier this month that all American officials will boycott the G20 summit taking place November 22–23 in Johannesburg, South Africa, where leaders and representatives from 42 of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful countries are gathering. The United States, which is scheduled to take over the G20’s rotating presidency after South Africa’s term ends, has based the boycott on the widely debunked accusation of South African state-backed persecution of white Afrikaners in the former apartheid state. Ahead of the meeting, UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that exploding military budgets are worsening global crises and urged G20 leaders to act: “Conflicts, climate chaos, economic uncertainty, mounting debt, inequality, and the collapse in global aid are inflicting massive suffering… and rising military expenditure is drawing resources away from development… Over the next two days I will call on G20 members to use their leverage to lead the action we need.” The United States is, by far, the world’s largest military spender, and Congress has already advanced record-breaking 2026 NDAA bills – $925 billion in the Senate and $883 billion in the House – with a final version expected this week.

It appears the UK government is not taking any steps to investigate or help investigate Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

With Russia in Ukraine, the UK is giving millions to the ICC to investigate war crimes.

Some war crimes are more acceptable than others.
