US-Israeli Gaza genocide

The Israeli genocide in Gaza claims more civilian lives, as the regime launches almost non-stop airstrikes on Gaza City, along with artillery shelling and drone attacks. According to medical sources, over 60 Palestinians were killed on Monday, nearly 40 of them in northern Gaza, especially Gaza City. Israel also destroyed a number of residential towers, most notably the Al-Ghafri Tower, which was Gaza City's tallest building that sheltered hundreds of families. One of the regime’s latest strikes hit residential homes in the Sabra and al-Daraj neighborhoods of Gaza City, killing and injuring dozens of civilians. Three more Palestinians died of malnutrition, raising the toll of Israel’s starvation policy to 425. Nearly 10 aid seekers were also killed by the regime’s forces. The death toll from the Israeli genocide now exceeds 64,900, with more than 164,900 others injured.

‘End business with Israel’

More than 80 international non-governmental organizations have called on countries and companies worldwide to end all forms of business dealings with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestine. The call by the NGOs, including Oxfam and the Human Rights Association, was especially addressed to the European Union, which is Israel's largest trading partner. It came in a report which stressed that cooperation of foreign companies with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank exacerbates the humanitarian crisis resulting from the Israeli occupation. It also called for a ban on financial institutions providing loans to companies involved in projects within those settlements. The report urged world countries, particularly the EU members and the United Kingdom, to impose an explicit ban on any commercial or investment activity related to the settlements, including the provision of services and financing.

Israel global boycott

Spain has canceled a weapons contract worth hundreds of millions of euros with Israel over the regime’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. The deal, worth nearly 700 million euros, would have seen Spain buying Israeli-designed rocket launchers from Elbit Systems. The move followed Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s pledge to turn into law a ban on all military sales or purchase deals with Israel over the regime's atrocities in Gaza. Madrid has also scrapped another contract, valued at 287 million euros, to buy anti-tank missile launchers, which were to be manufactured under license from an Israeli company. On Monday, Sanchez also called for Israel to be barred from international sports over the Gaza war. He expressed "deep admiration" for thousands of protesters who forced the halt of the final stage of the Vuelta a Espania, one of the world's biggest cycling races, in Spain on Sunday.
