US-Israeli genocide in Gaza
Israel’s relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip have claimed the lives of more Palestinians, including 10 civilians in a northern town. Dozens more were also injured in the airstrike on the Jabalia al-Nazla area. In the center, three civilians were killed after Israeli warplanes hit a house in the Bureij refugee camp. Two more civilians lost their lives in an air raid on Wadi Gaza Bridge, also in central Gaza. A number of Palestinians were also killed in fresh attacks on Gaza City. Other areas of Gaza witnessed new strikes as well. Meanwhile, a six-year-old child has died as a result of starvation and dehydration. His death brings to 41 the number of Palestinians who lost their lives due to malnutrition in the blockaded territory. The death toll from the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 7 has topped 38,150, most of them women and kids.
Hezbollah supports Palestine
The secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement says the righteousness of the Palestinian cause and the brutalities of the Israeli occupation are unquestionable. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Gaza has been witnessing unprecedented bloodshed. He added that turning a blind eye to Israeli massacres in the Palestinian territory is against humanity. The leader of Hezbollah also pointed to anti-Israeli protests on US campuses, hailing American university students for their support for Gaza. The Hezbollah chief vowed that the resistance movement will continue to support Palestinians in the face of Israeli occupation and crimes. Nasrallah was speaking on the first day of the Muslim month of Muharram, which marks the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hossein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, in the battle of Karbala some 1,400 years ago.
France parliamentary elections
An alliance of left-wing parties called New Popular Front (NFP) has won the most seats in the recently-held parliamentary elections in France, but has fallen short of securing an absolute majority. Projections show that the NFP with 28 percent of the vote is on course to win 172 to 215 seats. President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance is in the second place and expected to win 150-180 seats. This is while the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen, which was leading in the first round, performed badly this time. The party was able to secure 115 to 155 seats, far below the expectations. Left-wing leader, Jean-Luc Melenchon, has said his party is ready to govern the country, adding that the prime minister should resign. According to French officials, the turnout on Sunday’s vote has been the highest since 1981.
