New Israeli attacks killed at least 19 Palestinians in the last day in the Gaza Strip, which increased the number of deaths to 44,382 in the last year, according to data from this Saturday from the Gaza Ministry of Health, although emergency teams denounce that they are not able to recover bodies from the besieged northern Gaza.

“The Israeli occupation committed 4 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, causing 19 martyrs and 72 injuries who arrived at hospitals during the last 24 hours,” details the ministry’s statement, which in turn denounces that there are new victims who are still under the rubble and more than 105,000 injured.

At least seven Gazatis died this Saturday in the Israeli bombing of a house in the Al Rimal neighborhood, in the center of the northern city of Gaza, where there are still people under the rubble, according to sources from the Palestinian agency Wafa.

In addition, a worker of the emergency services of the Gaza Civil Defense died in another attack against homes in the besieged Yabalia camp, denounced this organization, who was identified as Muhamad Zuhair al Sharbasi.

Israel kills more than 40 people in northern Gaza

The Israeli army attacks a building that housed displaced people and kills more than 40 people in the besieged northern Gaza Strip.

“The Israeli occupation army intensified its bombings against homes in the north of the Gaza Strip, bombing today a house that housed displaced people,” the organization said in a statement.

The attack occurred in the area of Tal Al Zaatar, north of Gaza, and according to Civil Defense rescuers, there are still victims under the rubble, given the impossibility of mobilizing ambulances due to insecurity.

Dozens are still under the rubble, according to the Gaza Civil Defense, after their houses were bombed by the Army in Jabalia during the last two days, in attacks that caused about 70 deaths, according to this organization.

The Israeli military siege that suffers the north of Gaza

Due to the military siege of northern Gaza, which today turns 58 days and has caused about 2,700 deaths in Yabalia, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, decomposing bodies have been lying in the streets for days, an investigation by the Israeli media +972 denounced yesterday, and rescue teams are not able to help the victims.

Already on November 26, the Gaza Civil Defense teams announced that they will not be able to continue operating in the Gaza governorate, where the Gazan capital is located, due to the Israeli refusal to allow the entry of fuel necessary for its ambulances.

It is estimated that between Thursday and Friday about 70 Gazans died in Beit Lahia alone in multiple attacks, 18 of them yesterday in a “double” Israeli bombing first against a building with refugees, and moments later, by attacking the group of citizens who approached to provide help, according to local sources.

On Thursday, in another attack against a residential building with five families, local sources estimated about fifty dead, after losing contact with five brothers, their wives, children and other displaced Gazans.

An Israeli drone attacked his vehicle in the city of Jan Younis, south of Gaza; eight months after the Israeli attack that killed seven of its employees in April.

According to a witness told EFE, while securing the convoy with humanitarian aid, some bandits tried to seize merchandise, when an Israeli drone shot at the back of one of the trucks. Then, several people approached to help and the drones launched another missile against the SUV where the workers were traveling, who carried the logo of the NGO of Spanish chef José Andrés.

Among the dead employees is the person in charge of the community kitchens in the east of Jan Yunis of the WCK, a driver and the evaluation and monitoring manager, according to local sources that located the event on the Salah al Din road, in the area of Satar al Sharqi in the northeast of Jan Yunis.

The Israeli Army confirmed, hours later, having attacked a vehicle in which, it says, a militiaman was traveling after receiving “credible intelligence information about his location in real time.”

“The claim that the terrorist was at the same time a WCK worker is being investigated,” adds the military statement, which adds that the civilian vehicle did not use badges and its movement “was not coordinated for the transport of aid.”

WCK interrupts its operations in Gaza after another Israeli attack

The NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK), of Spanish chef José Andrés, announced that it would stop operating in Gaza after the Israeli attack on one of its vehicles, in which according to local media three of its local employees have died, one of them identified as a Hamas militiaman by the Israeli Army.

“World Central Kitchen had no knowledge that any of the people traveling in the vehicle had alleged links to the Hamas attack on October 7,” the organization said today in a statement in X, following the Army’s accusation that one of the workers was a militiaman who participated in the October 7 attacks.

“Our hearts are with our colleagues and their families at this unimaginable time,” the NGO added.

Attack on humanitarian organizations

Islamic factions in Gaza denounced in a statement that “this crime reveals dangerous aspects and horrible violations related to the objectives of the war of extermination and is linked to depriving the population of the besieged area of obtaining food, water and medicine.”

“These repeated crimes that target humanitarian organizations, relief associations, food preparation and distribution centers and aid convoys are direct messages of threat and terror to all agencies active in humanitarian work,” the text regrets.

On April 2, seven other WCK workers died in a triple Israeli attack against their humanitarian convoy when they left a warehouse in Deir al Balah, central Gaza, despite having coordinated their movements with the Israeli Army.

Three days later, the Army said it was a “mistake” to believe that two armed Hamas militiamen were traveling in the vehicle. Palestinian Saifeddin Ayad Abutaha, Australian Lalzawmi Frankcom, Polish Damian Soból, Canadian-American Jacob Flickinger and British John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby died.

Although it was perfectly identified, the caravan was hit by three missiles fired by a drone, which was “a serious violation of the orders and standard operating procedures of the Israel Defense Force,” the military investigation concluded, which ended those responsible.

Hamas delegation in Cairo to address the ceasefire

A delegation from the Islamist group Hamas arrived this Saturday in Cairo to hold a series of meetings with Egyptian mediators and with leaders of the secular Palestinian movement Fatah to address “issues related” to a truce in Gaza, sources close to the talks informed EFE.

According to the informants, who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the matter, the Hamas delegation is headed by the acting head of the Islamist movement in Gaza, Jalil al Hayya, to also discuss a possible hostage exchange agreement for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

These negotiations will also be attended by Fatah officials, according to a source from this party from Cairo, who pointed out that the objective is to discuss an “Egyptian initiative to resume negotiations for a ceasefire,” as well as reconciliation between the different Palestinian factions.

The intention is to “address new ideas to formulate a proposal to end the war” and exchange hostages in the hands of Hamas for Palestinian prisoners, according to the source, who said that the Islamist group and Fatah refuse to “separate the West Bank from the Gaza Strip” in negotiations with Israel.

Paraguay summons Brazilian ambassador over Itaipú espionage scandal

Paraguay summoned the Brazilian ambassador in Asunción on Tuesday to demand “explanations” and called its own representative in Brasília for consultations following Brazil’s acknowledgment of an espionage operation. The Brazilian government, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, attributed the operation to the previous administration.

The surveillance effort aimed to uncover Paraguay’s position in now-suspended negotiations with Brazil regarding the pricing of electricity from the binational Itaipú hydroelectric plant, according to reports in the Brazilian press.

The Brazilian government “categorically denied any involvement in the intelligence operation,” stating in a Foreign Ministry communiqué on Monday that the espionage was carried out under former President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration (2019-2023).

“The operation was authorized by the previous government in June 2022 and was annulled by the interim director of the (state intelligence agency) ABIN on March 27, 2023, as soon as the current administration became aware of it,” Brazil’s government asserted.

Paraguay’s Foreign Minister Rubén Ramírez announced that Brazilian Ambassador José Antonio Marcondes de Carvalho was summoned “to provide detailed explanations” regarding the operation. Additionally, Paraguay recalled its diplomatic representative in Brasília “to report on aspects related to the intelligence activity conducted by Brazil regarding Paraguay’s government affairs.”

Elon Musk to step down as government advisor, per Trump insiders

President Donald Trump has informed his inner circle that Elon Musk will be stepping down from his role as a government advisor, according to a report by Politico today.

Citing three individuals close to Trump, Politico states that the president is pleased with Musk’s leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he has implemented significant budget cuts. However, both have agreed that it is time for Musk to return to his businesses and support Trump from a different position outside the government.

A senior administration official told Politico that Musk will likely maintain an informal advisory role and continue to be an occasional visitor to the White House. Another source warned that anyone thinking Musk will completely disappear from Trump’s circle is “deluding themselves.”

According to the sources, this transition is expected to coincide with the end of Musk’s tenure as a “special government employee,” a temporary status that exempts him from certain ethics and conflict-of-interest regulations. This 130-day period is set to expire in late May or early June.

Milei vows to make Argentina so strong that Falkland Islanders “choose” to join

Argentine President Javier Milei reaffirmed his country’s claim over the Falkland Islands (known as the Islas Malvinas in Argentina) and praised the role of the nation’s armed forces during a ceremony marking the “Veterans and Fallen Soldiers of the Malvinas War Day,” commemorating 43 years since the 1982 conflict with the United Kingdom.

Argentina continues to assert sovereignty over the islands, arguing that Britain unlawfully seized them in 1833.

“If sovereignty over the Malvinas is the issue, we have always made it clear that the most important vote is the one cast with one’s feet. We hope that one day, the Malvinas residents will choose to vote with their feet and join us,” Milei stated.

“That is why we aim to become a global power—so much so that they would prefer to be Argentine, making deterrence or persuasion unnecessary. This is why we have embarked on a path of liberation, working to make Argentina the freest country in the world and once again the nation with the highest GDP per capita on the planet,” he added.
