This week, the land grab campaign that the Israeli authorities have been pursuing illegally was announced loudly in places. In Hebron, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he had “cancelled” the 1997 Hebron Agreement, occupation of Palestinian municipalities about the planning authority on the Old City and the Ibrahimi Mosque.
In Gaza, Israeli television reported that Israel, blocked by the United States from a new war, had indeed chosen what its officials called “creeping” or “quiet” – pushing its lines westward without announcement.

And in the middle of the Gaza refugee camp of Bureij, the Israeli attack killed Al Jazeera reporter Mubasher Ahmed Wishahthe 12th member of the network’s staff killed in Gaza since October 2023.
The week grew at the beginning of summer directions so far: International criticism is rising on the one hand, and on the other, the government is expanding its power over Palestinian land in Gaza and the West Bank, which seems to be in violation of international law and agreement.
Additional – both quiet and loud
A great noise came to Hebron. Speaking at the opening of the new illegal Doran settlement, Smotrich said Israel had canceled the Hebron Accords and now had planning authorities in the H2 area of the West Bank city that includes Israeli settlements and the Ibrahimi Mosque.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry partially retracted the statement, saying that the agreement had not been terminated but that a cabinet decision months earlier had transferred the authority to organize the Jewish community and holy sites. The Palestinian Authority said the move was illegal, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation warned it was destabilizing the city, and even the US State Department said it “doesn’t help Israel occupy the West Bank”.
In Gaza, the annexation process was quiet but – according to the Israeli context – deliberate. Israel’s Channel 13 reported that after the administration of US President Donald Trump blocked a major project, Israel chose “creepy” – extending the so-called Yellow Line to the west and make periodic entries without announcement. The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said The Israeli army now controls about 64 percent of Gazafrom the 53 percent granted under the October 10 ceasefire that was supposed to stop Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine.
The massive explosion in the West Bank went through illegal access points and an alarming expansion of Israel’s security forces. Prior to The Israeli army said last week that it is building its first permanent settlement since the Oslo Accords were signed in the 1990s inside Area A – the West Bank area that is supposed to be under Palestinian control – bulldozers worked throughout the week to establish the army. In the north of the Jordan Valley, Palestinian rights activists reported on the work progressing on the “Crimson Thread” barrier – which was designed to clear the area of Nablus and Tubas – after Israel’s Supreme Court issued a ban last week.
In an unusual attack, hundreds of Israeli border police demolished buildings in four residential areas. But according to Wafa, the Israeli Civil Administration – led by Smotrich – also approved 576 new homes.
The number of people who were killed after the end of the war has reached 1,000; An Al Jazeera journalist was killed
Eight months after the end of the war in Gaza, the killing continues. The death toll of the Ministry of Health in Gaza after the ceasefire exceeded 1,000 on June 17 and reached 1,024 by June 22, and the number of Israeli war in Gaza since October 2023 more than 73,000. Speaking to the United Nations Security Council on June 18, the UN chief, Tom Fletcher, said that more than 250 people killed since the cessation of hostilities were children.
Amid the ongoing crisis, on June 20, a strike on the Safadi family home on al-Thalathini Street in Gaza City killed a father, Hussein al-Safadi, and his daughters Lana, 14, and Zina, four, and the mother later died of wounds; Al Jazeera reporters also reported on the area he received no warning in advance.
On the same day, in al-Bureij, the attack on Abu Hasna’s family killed three of them Ahmad WishaAl Jazeera photographer Mubasher is the brother of a colleague who was killed in April. Al Jazeera condemned the assassination and dismissed as “baseless” the Israeli military’s lack of evidence that Wishah was a Hamas operative; he was the 12th Al Jazeera member to be killed in Gaza since October 2023, out of at least 260 Palestinian journalists who the Committee to Protect Journalists says have been killed in that period.
Also this week, the Supreme Court of Israel was rejected again the request of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital, who is being held without charge and, his lawyers say, is in solitary confinement with signs of torture.
As such claims continue, the pressure from outside continues to grow. Norway announced plans to ban trade and settlements in the West Bank, 85 members of the US House of Representatives pressured Washington to stop it. Standard function of E1and the UN warned that Israeli refugee groups could be added to its blacklist for serious violations of children. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Israel, Gideon Saar, separation contact and the European Union’s top diplomat in a statement that compares Israel’s policy to apartheid.
However, the humanitarian squeeze only intensified. The UN said the oil entering Gaza in the week of June 16 ran out of essential supplies, forcing allies to ration life-saving supplies. The report added that more than 520 surgical and endoscopic procedures were at risk of being stopped due to the lack of antibiotics. The overall humanitarian work, it said, contributes to 24 percent of what is needed.
The head of the UN aid agency Fletcher warned that there is no hospital in Gaza that is fully operational, while Gaza “is linked to humanitarian work and Palestinian resilience”.
‘Night of the Mosques’ is a war on water
Between the agricultural villages of the central highlands and the Bedouin herders of the area, the residents have repeatedly looked at the two pillars of the Palestinian people in the West Bank: mosques and water.
In the early morning of June 17, in the villages of Jiljiliya and Mazraa al-Nubani, residents burned mosques, writing Hebrew inscriptions with the words “Night of the Mosques” – whose construction in Hebrew evokes Kristallnacht, “Night of Broken Glass”, in which Jewish synagogues were burned in Germany. according to Wafa, AFP and Palestinian media.
The Israeli military confirmed the mosque attack to AFP but did not name the suspects; Eight Arab and Muslim countries condemned the attacks. A fortress that originated from Jiljiliya located within Area A of the West Bank, which is off-limits to Israeli citizens.
However, the methods of the settlers confused this image with a request for funding for firefighting equipment, explaining that the Palestinians are carrying out “hundreds of threats” of “threats” against the Jewish control of the open space.
Coinciding with the escalation of the mosque riots, the water attacks in Palestine continued as the summer heat began. For the third week in a row, the settlers attacked a Bedouin family. Nayef Khalaife in the Arab al-Kaabneh area east of Ramallah, this time they cut the water and electricity lines. According to the mayor of the village, Marwan Sabah, the residents of the village damaged the main water pipe of Umm Safa with heavy machinery. West Bank activists reported that settlers cut pipelines around the Bedouin communities of Atouf and Khan al-Ahmar, while seizing a tanker supplying water to a family in the Atouf valley.
Similar to the incident of burning the mosque, an Israeli newspaper report, published in the residential areas, made 440 Palestinian wells illegal “water hazards” in front of the Knesset committee – undermining, Palestinian rights activists realized, the reality that Israel controls the water they share under the Oslo Accords. Access to water and its use by Israeli residents has already exceeded that provided to Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
In addition to the colonial attack, early on June 22, Palestinian activist Hamza al-Masri reported that two other youths from Beit Ummar, Issa Awad, 19, and Rida Awad, 15, were killed near the settlement of Karmei Tzur, and their bodies were kept; the Israeli army said the two had thrown the bombs.
