Live: Israeli soldiers kill unarmed Palestinians as they surrender in Jenin

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday adopted a US-backed draft resolution outlining US President Donald Trump's plans for Gaza's future, including a line that envisions a future Palestinian state. 

The vote came down to 13 members in support, and two abstentions from Russia and China in the 15-member UNSC. There are five permanent members and 10 rotating members. Israel was allowed to sit in on the meeting, but could not vote. 

Israel had made a last-minute push at UN to have the US reverse its language away from any mentions of Palestinian statehood, even if it's merely aspirational. 

The fact that the US ultimately maintained the language on Palestinian statehood signals that the Trump administration is serious about maintaining its cordial ties with key Muslim allies, despite Israel's opposition.

Washington did not initially include a reference to Palestinian self-determination, but made the change to appease Muslim and Arab nations, which it hopes will provide troops for an "International Stabilisation Force" in the enclave.

The resolution, now dubbed UNSC 2803, says that "conditions may be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood" if the Palestinian Authority (PA) undergoes reforms, and Gaza's redevelopment "has advanced".

Nearly 80 people who had left Gaza for medical treatment returned to the strip for the first time in more than two years on Monday after they were expelled by Israeli authorities.

The Palestinian Red Crescent says it transported the 76 people who had sought treatment at either a hospital in Israel or in the West Bank prior to the 7 October 2023 attacks.

At least 13 unarmed Palestinian civilians were wounded in an Israeli drone attack in Gaza City on Monday evening, Wafa news agency reported. 

The Wafa correspondent said an Israeli quadcopter dropped an explosive device on a group of civilians who were gathered near the Asad As-Saftawi school in the Daraj neighbourhood. All casualties were rushed to Al-Ahli Arab Hospital.

Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has called for the arrest of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas if the United Nations recognises Palestinian statehood.

He also called for Israel to assassinate senior Palestinian Authority (PA) officials, who he labelled "terrorists".

"Orders must be given for targeted killings of senior Palestinian Authority officials - who are terrorists in every respect - as well as an order for the arrest of Abu Mazen," Ben Gvir posted on X, using an honourific name for Abbas.

He also said that a special solitary confinement cell at Ketziot Prison had already been prepared for Abbas.

His comments come ahead of a UN Security Council vote on Monday on a US resolution endorsing the Gaza peace plan, which makes reference to a "credible pathway" to Palestinian statehood.

Israeli security forces demolished an illegal settler outpost in the occupied West Bank on Monday following "severe incidents of violence".

A large force was deployed to the Tzour Misgavi outpost - constructed in the West Bank without Israeli permission - in the Gush Etzion area, south of Jerusalem.

Heavy machinery could be seen preparing to demolish the structures, with one clip showing a bulldozer knocking into the side of a building with people stood on top.

Israeli media said 25 families were evacuated from the site.

Six people accused of breaking into an Israel-based defence firm's UK site last year appeared in a UK court on Monday. 

A group of around two dozen protesters, holding banners and Palestinian flags, gathered at the gates leading to Woolwich Crown Court, and chanted "Free Palestine" outside.

The six are accused of being part of a group who committed aggravated burglary, criminal damage and violent disorder at the premises of the Israel-based firm Elbit Systems in Bristol on 6 August 2024.

Samuel Corner, Jordan Devlin, Charlotte Head, Leona Kamio, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, and Zoe Rogers arrived shortly after 11am for the trial, which is expected to last 10 weeks.

Israeli authorities expelled dozens of Palestinian patients from hospitals in Jerusalem back to the Gaza Strip on Monday, according to local media reports.

The patients and their families, originally from the Gaza Strip, had sought treatment in Jerusalem before the war erupted in October 2023 and remained in the city since.

Some had completed their treatment and expressed desire to return to the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. 

However, there were concerns that others will be forced to return, according to Arab48.

Local media said two buses carrying some of the patients and their families arrived at the Kerem Abu Salem crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel on Monday morning.

The arrival in South Africa of a plane of 153 Palestinians last week was "suspicious" and indicated "a clear agenda to cleanse Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank," the country's foreign minister said on Monday.

The group arrived on a chartered flight and without departure stamps from Israel on their passports.

"We are suspicious as a South African government about the circumstances surrounding the arrival of the plane," Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola said, adding: "This is a clear agenda to cleanse Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank."

The majority of Palestinian prisoners from Gaza who died in Israeli prisons were civilians, according to a parallel investigation.

At least 98 Palestinians have died in custody since October 2023, in many cases seemingly as a direct result of torture, medical neglect, and starvation, according to Israeli data obtained by the Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (PHRI).

The real death toll of Palestinians in Israeli jails is likely to be substantially higher because hundreds of people detained in Gaza are missing, an Israel-based human rights group has said.

In its own reports, the Israeli army classified less than one-third of those Palestinians detained from Gaza as militants, the investigation found.

An Israeli drone strike killed a man in Beit Lahia, in the north-west of the Gaza Strip, in a further apparent breach of the ceasefire, the Wafa news agency reported.

Several other Palestinians, including a child, were wounded when an Israeli quadcopter dropped an explosive device on a group of civilians in the Shuja'iyya district, east of Gaza City, the agency said.

The Israeli military also demolished residential buildings east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, while Israeli artillery shelled the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the enclave.

A hearing for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s testimony in his corruption trial scheduled for Wednesday is cancelled due to an undisclosed “security reason".

Judge Rivka Friedman-Feldman agreed to cancel the session after receiving a request from Netanyahu’s lawyers, according to Channel 12.

Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 in three cases involving gifts from millionaire friends and for allegedly seeking regulatory favours for media tycoons in return for favourable coverage.

The German government will lift an order suspending some weapons sales to Israel from next week, following the ceasefire agreement reached last month, a government spokesperson said on Monday.

"The government will, as a general rule, revert to case-by-case reviews in decisions on arms exports and respond to further developments," the spokesperson said.

The decision will allow the resumption of exports suspended in August, from 24 November, the spokesperson said.

Germany, the second-largest exporter of arms to Israel after the United States, announced a suspension of some arms exports to Israel in August, amid mounting popular pressure over Israel's war on Gaza.

A child was killed and several Palestinians were wounded by Israeli drone fire in Gaza City’s Shujaiyya neighbourhood, Quds News Agency reported, citing medical sources.

The Israeli forces stormed east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, raided several homes in Balata camp and arrested three citizens, Muhammad Hamdallah Hashash, Ahmed Salah Sabah, and Iyad Kayed Hashash, according to the Palestinian Information Centre.

The military also arrested former detainee Muhammad Naji Sabha after storming his home in Anabta, east of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, Quds news agency reported.

Israeli settlers attacked the Bedouin community of al-Tabna, near Khan al-Ahmar, east of occupied Jerusalem, early Monday morning, according to Wafa news agency.

Local sources reported that the settlers threw stones at residents' homes and property, used loudspeakers at night and drove off-road vehicles near the community's homes aiming to harass and eventually displace the residents of the community.

The Bedouin community has witnessed a series of attacks by Israeli settlers in recent weeks.
