On this day last year, Israel murdered our very dearest and bravest colleague Hossam Shabat in an airstrike in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza. His last words were, "I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free."

Israeli Forces Tortured Child in Front of His Father in Gaza Israeli forces subjected a one-year-old child to abuse and torture to pressure his father into giving confessions in Al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, according to local and family sources. Osama Abu Nassar, while taking his child to buy supplies a few days ago, he was caught in gunfire near his home and forced by Israeli soldiers to leave his 18-month-old son on the ground and approach the Israeli checkpoint, where he was stripped of his clothes. According to witnesses, the army then took the child and interrogated the father at the checkpoint. The forces tortured the child in front of his father, including burning his leg with cigarettes, pricking, and inserting a metal nail into his leg, as confirmed by a medical report. The child, Karim, was released after 10 hours and handed over to his family through the International Red Cross, while the father remains in detention. 📷 Osama Al-Kahlout

“They killed my mother — and before that, my brother. I urge everyone: do not go to the American aid distribution points soaked in blood. This bag only contains 2 empty flour sacks — nothing else — & yet they shot & killed my mother as she tried to get us something to eat today.”

Warmest wishes to Muslims who are marking the end of Ramadan across the UK and around the world. May your Eid‑al‑Fitr be joyful and full of peace. Eid Mubarak.

I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.
