Gaza & Palestine
Hazem Qassem, spokesman for Hamas: All announcements by the Peace Council and its affiliates about relief operations and the start of reconstruction are a misleading attempt to deceive public opinion. We in Gaza are receiving fire and gunpowder, not support and relief, and death has become the scene of Gaza’s streets, not the peace that Mladenov claims

Follow-up Committee of the National and Islamic Forces: We view with grave concern the positions and statements issued by ministers of the occupation government and its army commanders
Follow-up Committee of the National and Islamic Forces: ▪We view with grave concern the positions and statements issued by ministers of the occupation government and its army commanders, and the false claims made by the "coordinator" regarding Palestinian hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which are the same statements that led to the destruction of hospitals and caused the paralysis of the health system in the Gaza Strip. ▪We categorically reject these claims and affirm that what is hindering the work of hospitals is the occupation, which still prevents the entry of medical equipment and devices, as well as many medicines and laboratory materials. ▪We affirm that the talk about hospitals and others is intended to perpetuate the war and the genocide and to market the commission of further crimes against our people, while keeping service institutions destroyed, paralyzed, and unable to provide service and care to citizens. We warn of the occupation's aggressive intentions. ▪We call on the mediators to fulfill their responsibilities to stop the aggression and prevent the occupation from carrying out aggressive and escalatory plans in service of the election campaigns of the far right.
Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared: Three years have passed since the start of the missing persons crisis in the Gaza Strip, and families still do not know the fate of their sons.
Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared: ▪ Three years have passed since the start of the missing persons crisis in the Gaza Strip, and families still do not know the fate of their sons. ▪ The number of missing persons has reached more than 7,000, including about 4,000 under the rubble and more than 2,500 forcibly disappeared. ▪ Hundreds went missing near the border on October 7, 2023, some of them minors who had gone to watch the events. ▪ The occupation authorities used enforced disappearance as a systematic policy and as a tool of collective punishment and pressure on Palestinians. ▪ Cases of enforced disappearance continued even after the announcement of the ceasefire on October 9, 2025. ▪ The occupation forces refuse to reveal the names of detainees, and returned hundreds of bodies unidentified without information about the circumstances of their deaths. ▪ Ongoing Israeli restrictions on the entry of heavy equipment obstruct the recovery of bodies and their burial with dignity. ▪ International laws and the Geneva Conventions guarantee families' right to know the fate of their missing sons. ▪ The psychological and physical effects on families are worsening sharply with the continued withholding of information and living in anxiety and waiting. ▪ The center calls on the occupation to immediately disclose the fate of the missing and the names of detainees and facilitate visits to them internationally. ▪ The international community is called upon to establish an independent investigative mechanism to collect evidence and determine the fate of the missing and forcibly disappeared.
