Asida added that when they arrived at their olive groves, they were surprised to see the enormity of destruction that happened there.

According to him, more than 50 olive trees were sabotaged and fruits from  more than 100 trees were  stolen.

Israel’s Defence Minister Cuts Fuel to Gaza
Picture
Despite the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Israel’s Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Friday, ordered a halt to any further fuel deliveries to the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip. Tuesday was the first delivery of Qatari bought fuel.

MWC news reports that this UN-brokered deal allows fuel paid for by Qatar to enter through Israel, with UN monitoring. Qatar has provided fuel to Gaza strip‘s only power plant. An official from Qatar stated that the fuel is “to avert an escalation in the existing humanitarian disaster from becoming worse.

Lieberman’s office announced on Friday that this move was “in response to attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.” Lieberman also cited “riots” along the fence dividing Israel and Gaza, including a beach protest. The report also stated that Israel would “not tolerate a situation in which fuel tankers are allowed to enter Gaza on the one hand, while terror and violence are used against IDF soldiers and Israeli citizens on the other.”

The statement also blames Hamas for “welcoming any terrorist attack, and accuses Hamas of encouraging Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank to carry out attacks against Israeli citizens”.

The two latest attacks on Israeli soldiers and citizens, happened in the West Bank, which is ruled by the Fateh party and not Hamas. A senior official close to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told Azzam al-Ahmad that there will be retaliatory measures, if the fuel deliveries continued. Many attempts at restoring the Fateh party to power in Gaza have failed.

Picture
The Canadian government announced that it intends to provide emergency financial assistance to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which is suffering from a severe financial crisis due to United States suspending its funding.

The Canadian Foreign Ministry released a statement on Friday, confirming that Canada’s support of up to $50 million over two years for Palestinian refugees through the UNRWA.

Of the support announced, up to $40 million will contribute to meeting the basic education, health and livelihood needs of millions of Palestinian refugees, especially women and children. The funding will also contribute to stability in the region by providing basic services to people whose needs would otherwise be unmet.

Furthermore, up to $10 million of Canada’s support will provide emergency life-saving assistance to more than 460,000 Palestinian refugees in Syria and Lebanon, through UNRWA’s Emergency Appeal for the Syria regional crisis.

Along the same line, Canada will also provide up to $12.5 million for Right to Play International.

With support from the Government of Canada, Right to Play International will collaborate with UNRWA to help create a more inclusive environment for Palestinian refugee children and to respond to existing educational gaps and needs in the West Bank and Gaza.

Qatar pledges $150 million in aid to besieged Gaza
Picture
Qatar on Wednesday announced its decision to allot $150 million in aid for the blockaded Gaza Strip, a day after fuel purchased by the Gulf state arrived at the only power station in the coastal enclave.

A statement from Doha's foreign ministry said the money had been pledged via the Qatar Development Fund, the government body responsible for distributing the country's foreign aid.

"Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar, the Qatar Development Fund has pledged $150 million in humanitarian aid to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip," the ministry said.

It added that the United Nations Development Program would oversee distribution of the aid.

The UN estimated the value of Qatar's earlier donation of fuel at $60 million.

The world body says Israel's 11-year blockade of the enclave has resulted in a "catastrophic" humanitarian situation.

Gaza's two million residents endure dire living conditions including a shortage of safe drinking water and regular power cuts, partly due to a lack of fuel for the strip's power station.

In a Wednesday statement, Hamas spokesperson Abdeal Latif al-Qanoa said the shipment of Qatar-donated fuel for the sole power plant in Gaza is the first step to alleviate the plight of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

He confirmed that this move would be followed by other actions regardless of the Palestinian Authority’s consent.

Israeli Navy Abducts Two Fishermen In Gaza
Picture
Israeli navy ships attacked, on Thursday morning, Palestinian fishing boats in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, and abducted two sibling fishermen.

Media sources said the navy attacked the fishing boats in the al-Waha area in Beit Lahia Sea, and abducted Saddam al-Sultan, 24, and his brother Odai, 22.

Local fishermen managed to retrieve the boat of the two siblings, and towed it to the shore, after it was struck by several live rounds fired by the navy.

The navy also fired many live rounds at other fishing boats, forcing the fishermen back to the shore without being able to fish and provide for their families.

Egypt navy arrests two Palestinian fishermen
Picture
Egypt's naval forces at dawn Wednesday arrested two Palestinian fishermen off southern Gaza's shore.

Head of the Palestinian Fishermen Syndicate Nizar Ayyash told Quds Press that the Egyptian navy earlier in the day detained Sami and Ibrahim Edwan while they were fishing near the sea border between Gaza and Egypt and confiscated their boats.

Palestinian fishermen usually prefer to work near the Egyptian waters away from the attacks of Israeli gunboats.

Israel in 2006 imposed a land and sea blockade on the nearly two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Fishermen are only allowed to sail within an area of 6 nautical miles.

Israeli Soldiers, Police Harass Olive Pickers in As-Sawiya Village
Picture
A group of Israeli soldiers, one Israeli policeman, and one Israeli settler harassed a group of Palestinian and international olive pickers in As-Sawiya village yesterday, demanding identification and threatening to expel the harvesters from the area.

Soon after the group began work, they noticed security vehicles from the nearby settlement of Alia arrive and park along the settler road above them. 

The occupants of the vehicle got out of the car and stood along the road for some time, taking photographs of the olive pickers. 

Soon thereafter, a team of Israeli soldiers arrived, along with an Israeli police officer in an Israeli police vehicle.  The soldiers and police officer immediately approached the olive pickers and asked for IDs.

One Israeli soldier filmed the entire interaction with his mobile phone, while the police officer photographed the passports of all the international harvesters.  He returned the passports immediately, but held onto the Palestinians’ IDs for a much longer period of time, walking away from the group to make a phone call and visibly sorting through the IDs. 

After the phone call, he appeared to photograph one or more of the Palestinian IDs before returning them.  The officer then tried to tell the group that they needed to leave.  The team refused, with the Palestinians insisting that this was their land and they were there for the olive harvest.

During the confrontation, a settler came and sat nearby, watching.  After the confrontation, the settler, along with two Israeli soldiers, remained on the scene for an additional 20-30 minutes, trailing the olive pickers. 

Eventually all Zionists left and the rest of the day’s harvest proceeded without incident.

As-Sawiya is slowly being surrounded by Alia as it expands along three sides of the village and encroaches on its land.  The particular area being harvested yesterday was among the closest to the Alia settlement.

Qatari-funded Fuel Allowed into Gaza
Picture
The first truckload of Qatari-funded fuel, of three shipments (truckloads), entered the besieged Gaza Strip on Tuesday afternoon, via the Kerem Shalom border crossing.

Three shipments of Qatari-funded fuel were allowed entry to the Gaza Strip by Israeli authorities for Gaza’s only power plant.

Ma’an sources said that a total of six truckloads carrying 450 liters of fuel are expected to enter the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) objected to the Qatari move, as the entry of fuel shipments was not done in coordination with it.

Gaza’s daily demand of power is between 450 to 500 Megawatts. However, the enclave has struggled for years with power shortages due to limited fuel access and degraded infrastructure.

In 2012, the UN warned that Gaza could become uninhabitable by 2020 if current trends were not altered. However, in another report released in July 2017, the UN said that “life for the average Palestinian in Gaza is getting more and more wretched,” and that for the majority of Gaza’s residents, the territory may already be unlivable.
