UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has urged all parties to maintain the ceasefire, saying “the ceasefire must hold and humanitarian aid must get through to those in need”.

“We call upon all parties to uphold President Trump’s peace plan to avoid any further bloodshed,” she added.

Her statement comes after Israel launched new strikes on Gaza that killed dozens of Palestinians, claiming the assault was in response to a Hamas operation that allegedly left two Israeli soldiers dead — an accusation Hamas has denied.

A Palestinian government office says Israeli forces have carried out 80 ceasefire violations since October 10, killing 97 people and wounding 230 more.

In a statement on Telegram, it condemned what it called “flagrant and clear violations of the ceasefire decision and the rules of international humanitarian law”.

It said the attacks were recorded “across all governorates of Gaza without exception”.

In a BBC interview in 1996, American intellectual Noam Chomsky was asked by presenter Andrew Marr how he could know that his interviewer was censoring himself.

He replied: "I’m not saying that you are self-censoring. I am sure you believe everything you are saying. But what I am saying is that if you believed something different you wouldn’t be sitting where you are sitting."

The voluntary internalisation of hegemonic views and the firm belief in them not only turn people into journalists in liberal media but also promotes them to the elites of society.

In light of the genocide of the Palestinians in GazaGermany is an excellent example of how this general social mechanism works and what catastrophic consequences it has.

Germany’s "elites" in culture, the media, academia, politics, churches, trade unions, and social organisations would not be where they are if they did not submissively follow those in power.

Hamas says some of the 150 Palestinian bodies returned by Israel show evidence of torture, calling it “a war crime against humanity.”

On Telegram, the group said: “Some of them were handcuffed and blindfolded, while others bore signs of being strangled or crushed under the occupation’s chains, confirming that the occupation executed them while they were prisoners.”

Hamas said the identities of most of the bodies remain unknown and called for DNA testing to identify them. The group also said it requires “heavy equipment to remove the rubble under which thousands of bodies remain buried.”

“What happened constitutes a full-fledged war crime and a crime against humanity that requires international accountability and responsibility,” it added.

The Gaza Health Ministry earlier confirmed that 25 of the returned bodies have been identified, with some showing signs of “torture” and “beatings.”

Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man in Nablus on Sunday before dragging his body through the streets, while settlers assaulted olive pickers elsewhere in the occupied West Bank.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 42-year-old Majed Mohammad Dawoud was killed during a raid on al-Ain refugee camp in Nablus in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Witnesses said Dawoud was left bleeding in the street as Israeli forces prevented medical teams from treating him.

Ghassan Hamdan, director of the Palestinian Medical Relief Society in Nablus, said Israeli soldiers stripped Dawoud of his clothes and dragged his body along the road as he bled to death.

Medical crews were later able to retrieve his body and transfer it to Rafidia hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
