"Apr 1, 2025
“If the choice is being bombed by Israel and being squeezed into a smaller part of Gaza and escaping for your life, what kind of a choice is that?”
Channel 4's Krishnan Guru-Murthy pressed Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskell about the US and Israel's plan to have Palestinians “voluntarily” leave Gaza.
Haskell responded by insisting that Hamas is to blame for the conditions Palestinians are in, as Israel presses further into the territory.
Last week, the Israeli cabinet approved the establishment of "a body to manage voluntary migration [of Palestinians] from Gaza".
This "body" consists of personnel from various Israeli ministries, the police, the army and intelligence services. Its task will be to "facilitate the controlled movement of Palestinians through Israel for their departure to third countries"."

"Oxford council passes Boycott Divestment and Sanctions motion" [ ± 1min]

Quote by MEE:
"Oxford City Council has passed a motion supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, citing International Court of Justice (ICJ) rulings.
In January last year, the ICJ delivered an interim ruling saying that it was plausible that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza.
The court called on Israel to refrain from impeding the delivery of aid into Gaza.
It also ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to prevent acts of genocide in the besieged enclave and to punish incitement to genocide, amongst other orders.
On Monday, Oxford councillor Hosnieh Djafari-Marbini said councillors had "unanimously passed a boycott and divestment motion citing the ICJ rulings on Palestine". Support stories that matter."

"Pro-Palestine protesters interrupt UK Business and Trade Secretary" [ ± 1min]

Quote by MEE:
"Mar 27, 2025
Speaking at an event held by the think tank Chatham House on Thursday, the UK's Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds was interrupted by pro-Palestine protesters.
Referencing the death toll of Israel's renewed strikes on Gaza, now standing at roughly 830 over the past nine days, the demonstrators called on Reynolds to end the UK's export of F-35 parts to Israel.
F-35 fighter jets are used in Israel's air strike campaigns. They were notably omitted from the UK government's decision to suspend 30 out of 350 licenses for arms exports to Israel in September 2024, leading several activists to criticise the move as a large symbolic one.
The decision was made because it is illegal for the UK to export arms to a country that may use them to violate international humanitarian law. Support stories that matter."

Even though the protest are for the release of the remaining hostages, they want to do it by stopping the war. Beyond that...

"Apr 1, 2025
Israeli protesters took to the streets on Monday (March 31) to rally against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu-led government. Amid the protests, a few scuffles broke out between the police and anti-government protesters, who called for the release of remaining Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza."
