Gaza’s clans warned Israel against harming Sheikh Hosni Al-Mughni, general coordinator of the Higher Council for Tribal Affairs, amid a systematic Israeli incitement campaign against him. In a statement, the council said Israeli-linked accounts spread false accusations and issued death threats in response to his national stance, stressing that targeting him is part of a broader effort to undermine Palestinian clans’ rejection of collaboration and imposed alternative structures in Gaza.

The US House of Representatives has approved a $3.3 billion aid package for Israel as part of the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations act, fulfilling a 2016 agreement. The legislation includes military financing, restrictions on funding for UNRWA, and limitations on the ICC and ICJ—measures AIPAC calls essential to countering Iran and Hamas. The bipartisan effort was led by Chairman Tom Cole and Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro, who steered the bill through the House. AIPAC hailed the vote as a strong reinforcement of the US-Israel alliance. Supporters included some so-called 'progressive' Democrats, like Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Ro Khanna.

Farmer Hamza Ouda stands on land belonging to his family in Kafr Thulth, east of Qalqilya, after it was seized by Israeli occupation forces under a military order in the area southeast of the town. The occupation has confiscated roughly 300 dunams of his family’s land, stripping them of their livelihood.
What remains is under constant attack by settlers, who deliberately drive livestock through the olive groves, damaging trees and accelerating the destruction of Palestinian agriculture, part of a broader campaign of land theft and intimidation.
