About our Palestine news
Latest news on Palestine, providing comprehensive coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and other key issues impacting the lives of Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
Palestine, home to over 5 million Palestinians, has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967. The Gaza Strip, governed by Hamas since 2007, has been the focal point of the latest escalation in the conflict, with the Israel-Hamas war raging since 7 October 2023, when Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing over 1,100 Israelis and taking hundreds hostage.
Israel responded with a massive aerial bombardment and a ground invasion of Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over 34,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children. The Israeli offensive has destroyed homes, hospitals, schools, and vital infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian crisis caused by the long-standing Israeli-Egyptian blockade.
Meanwhile, tensions continue to simmer in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, with the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, daily Palestinian protests, and deadly clashes with Israeli security forces. Despite the challenges, Palestinians persist in their struggle for self-determination, freedom, and equality through various forms of resistance and global solidarity efforts.
The roots of the Palestinian struggle can be traced back to the 1948 Nakba, which saw the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians during Israel's creation. This historical trauma continues to shape the political, economic, and social realities of Palestinians today, both in the occupied territories and the diaspora.

By offering diverse perspectives on the latest developments in Palestine and the Gaza war, we aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of this complex and long-standing issue.
