An Israeli minister calls for the settlement
of the entire occupied West Bank.
Videos show Israeli forces there turning
a Palestinian home into an interrogation center.
A Palestinian boy is killed by Israeli gunfire in Gaza.
This is Jerusalem Daily with the latest news from Palestine and Israel.
This is Israeli Settlement Minister Orit Strouk.
She has been calling for Israel
to settle the entire occupied West Bank,
dismissing the Oslo Accords
and asserting Israeli ownership over all of the land.
L.A. and L.B., every country of Israel, all of us,
every country of Israel, sit down with us with the help of God.
Days ahead of elections in Israel,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also reaffirmed
his complete opposition to any establishment of a Palestinian state.
You would block the creation of a so-called Palestinian state.
Block it? I have been blocking it.
And you will commit to continue blocking it?
We cannot have a Palestinian state
because that's the end of a Jewish state.
On the ground, the ability of Palestinians
to exercise their right to self-determination
is being constrained by military raids,
settler violence and the destruction of their homes and
livelihoods. Israeli forces turned this Palestinian family's home
in Silouad into a dystopian-filled
interrogation center during a raid.
Israeli troops scattered the belongings of the family
and left restraint tools in the house
of Palestinian prisoner Hassan Salama. They
stuck pictures of him in Israeli jail all over
the house as a form of psychological warfare on his
family. Palestinians say young men were interrogated
and mistreated in the house during overnight
raids. Meanwhile, settler pogroms in the West Bank continue.
This is the moment masked settlers
attacked Palestinian harvesters in Jaloud before firing shots
at the farmers. Another video shows
Israeli settlers stealing a flock of sheep
in Silouad under the protection of Israeli forces.
Demolitions are also continuing across
the occupied West Bank, where homes are being
bulldozed, farmland razed, and agricultural greenhouses dismantled.
One Palestinian man attempting to defend
his land was thrown to the ground and surrounded
by Israeli forces as bulldozers moved in to demolish his home.
And in Gaza, Palestinian Majd Hassan
was killed by Israeli army fire in Khan Yunis.
This was his mother's final farewell.
Hours earlier, a video from Khan Yunis showed
the heavy presence of Israeli forces, with
the flashes of gunfire visible
and the sound of sustained shooting heard across the area.
As parents lose their children to Israeli attacks,
children in Gaza also lose their
parents.
In Gaza, a Palestinian girl was left to mourn her mother
and father, Akram Yassin and his
wife Medina, who were killed in Israeli shelling.
The attack hit a residential apartment near
El Shefa Hospital, robbing the girl of her
childhood
in an instant.
Palestinians in Gaza say this scene is recurring every day.
They've drawn a direct link between Israel's actions
on the Strip and Israel's elections
just
days
away.
