US Muslim advocates demand Trump ‘immediately restrain Israel’
American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) has said Israel’s deadly attacks on Gaza and restrictions at the Rafah crossing “should trigger accountability and the withholding of military aid” by the US government.
“Instead of doing that, the United States approved yet another ($6.7bn) weapons deal for Israel just last week, once again making clear how little Palestinian life is valued by this administration,” the group said in a statement.
It urged Trump to enforce “a real ceasefire” in the bombarded Palestinian enclave; lift Israel’s continued blockade of Gaza and withhold US military aid to its top ally.
“Anything less is continued US complicity and a deliberate choice to enable ongoing atrocities.”
Palestine Red Crescent Society condemns Israeli killing of medic in Gaza as war crime
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says killed Gaza emergency responder Hussein Hasan Hussein al-Sumairy was “deliberately targeted” by the Israeli military today.
In a statement, PRCS denounced al-Sumairy’s killing as a war crime under international law.
“This crime is part of [Israel’s] systematic policy of continuing to undermine the health and emergency [response] system in the Gaza Strip” since the Israeli bombardment began in October 2023, the agency said.
It called on the international community to take action to protect Palestinian healthcare workers and emergency responders, stressing that inaction gives Israel a greenlight to “continue violating international law and targeting humanitarian personnel”.
📍Gaza | We share our heartfelt condolences to the family, colleagues & friends of Hussein Hasan Hussein Al-Sumairy, who was killed today while providing emergency medical service in Khan Yunis.

Satellite images show Israeli forces bulldozed cemetery in Gaza City: Report
Israeli forces have bulldozed part of a cemetery in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City, satellite imagery has revealed, churning up soil in an area whose size suggests the use of heavy equipment.
British newspaper The Guardian revealed the systematic destruction of the cemetery, which it said contained the remains of dozens of British and Australian and other allied soldiers killed in the first and second world wars.
Israeli forces are known to have damaged or destroyed graves across the Gaza Strip, according to multiple reports from the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs. Last month, the al-Batsh cemetery in Gaza City was excavated as the army recovered the last captive’s body.
