Today in Hebron, I intervened to help four Palestinian women being harassed and detained by an Israeli settler. Two settlers then attacked me. An Israeli soldier watched the assault and blamed me instead of stopping it. This is how settler violence is enabled.#hebron #palestine #apartheid #palestine
Yesterday, I and most Palestinians stood with our brothers and friends, the Spanish people. We are supporting Spain out of admiration for their stance on Palestine and their footballing skills.
Saturday, Israeli occupation forces are restricting Palestinian worshippers and visitors from accessing the Ibrahimi Mosque, while simultaneously facilitating and encouraging settlers’ entry under military protection. 1/2
Marwan Barghuti is the future president of Palestine . FREE MARWAN! The campaign for his release enjoys both local and international consensus!!!
British charity, Friends of Yeshivat Shavei Hevron, sent nearly £200,000 to a religious school in illeagel Israeli settlment in Hebron, West Bank, between 2019 and 2024. 1/4
Today, an Israeli soldier arbitrarily closed the checkpoint, preventing Palestinians from reaching their homes. Teachers, workers, students, were all blocked from moving freely. 1/2
Principles and stance are more important than personal interests. Incidentally, the Egyptian national team is capable of defeating Argentina. 2/2
The great people of Egypt are once again declaring that the cause of Palestine is the cause of the whole world. And when Hossam Hassan raises the Palestinian flag, he pays a heavy price in terms of his international coaching career, and he knows it. 1/2
Thank you to the Jordanian security services for their swift response; we hope they will continue to crack down on the black market and place the booking system under the control of a security agency subject to strict oversight. 1/3
Congratulations to our friend and comrade Saif Asa’id on entering the ‘silver cage’ (engagement)! Congratulations!
Hebron continues to serve as a laboratory of separation, unequal rights, and movement restrictions imposed on Palestinians. #Hebron #Palestine. 2/2
New “Blue Roads” have appeared in Hebron, including near my home, marked as open exclusively to Israelis. Restricting access to roads based on national identity is institutionalized segregation, not security. 1/2
The project will add two stories, totaling over 1,000 square meters, above a commercial building on Al-Shalalah Street, in the heart of Hebron's historic market district, the Souq. 2/4
A New Settlement in the Heart of the Souq Shortly after the Higher Planning Council assumed planning authority from the Palestinian Municipality, it convened and approved a building permit for a settler dormitory for students at the Shavei Hevron Yeshiva. 1/4
Middle East in Focus: "With us today to discuss the realities of life for Palestinian Christians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is the Director of Sabeel, Omar Haramy. And friend of the show, Issa Amro will join us to discuss the Palestinian grassroots organization,... 1/3
The number of people leaving the West Bank is roughly equal to the number arriving from Jordan into the West Bank, so why is there such chaos, with the crossing closed, bribes being demanded and people being directed to the VIP lane on the Jordanian side? 1/2
The matter of managing the queue on the Jordanian side of the Karama Crossing must be in the hands of a high-level Jordanian security committee or under the supervision of the Jordanian Parliament, not in the hands of a private company whose sole concern is profit. 1/4
Route 60 is an artery of apartheid, built on stolen Pal. land. Rebranding it as “The Biblical Highway” is a transparent effort to whitewash systemic annexation. Occupation, apartheid, and illegal land confiscation cannot be made lawful through propaganda. #apartheid #hebron
Extremist Israeli Minister Smotrich moving to cancel Hebron Protocol account is “a reward for extremism and violence, a clear step toward annexation that takes the land while excluding the Palestinian population living on it” — Palestinian human rights defender Issa Amro 1/3
From this video published by B´Tselem it is clear that the car did stop as the father said. The soldiers, who said it accelerated towards them, lied. And it is clear, that the soldiers afterwords stood idly by, as the families tragedy unraveled. Make the illegal occupation as costly as possible!
Our friend Ahmed Jaradat has passed away. His international work on behalf of Palestine was significant, and he carried it out quietly. May God have mercy on him.
“Today, the same settler who attacked my home by throwing stones six weeks ago returned and threatened to take over my house. He openly stated that the police had done nothing to hold him accountable and that the government was on his side. 1/2
The funeral! They took another innocent life! We will remember his name: "Sam Fahd Abu Haykal" He will meet Hind Rajab and the over 3.000 of palestinian children killed in Gaza by the Israeli Army in heaven. 5/5

Congratulations to one of the most prominent figures in the Hebron Governorate, Dr Hazem Abdul Hafeez Al-Ashhab, on his appointment as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Birzeit University. I had hoped to see him as President of the University Students’ Union.
A new iron gate has been erected in the Old Town square in Hebron. Israel is expanding the Ghosttown-Area of Hebron.
