Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is unacceptable. He added in a speech that the blockade of Gaza is similar to the siege imposed on Leningrad during World War II. Putin noted that Russia has good relations with the Arab and Islamic world, pointing out that Moscow wants to fulfill its commitments to the establishment of a Palestinian state. He emphasized that the international community must consider the civilians suffering from the escalation, stressing that Russia can act as a mediator between the two sides. Earlier in the day, President Putin stated that the ground operation planned by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip would result in "unacceptable" civilian casualties. Dr. Nourhan El-Sheikh, Professor of International Relations at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University, revealed Russia's readiness to mediate a settlement to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, affirming that Russia's position has been clear since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge. In a phone interview with journalist Diaa Rashwan, host of the "New Egypt" program broadcast on ETC channel, El-Sheikh said that statements by Russian officials support the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent Palestinian state. She emphasized that Russia's position differs from that of the West, and the United States in particular. The professor of international relations explained that US President Joe Biden's reaction was swift, and mistakes were made, but the American position persists. There are ongoing meetings between the US and Israel, and large stockpiles of American weapons are located on Israeli soil, even though Israel does not need these weapons. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Friday that the ground operation planned by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip would result in "unacceptable" civilian casualties. The Russian president added that the United States has monopolized the Palestinian-Israeli settlement process and ignored the legitimate historical rights of the Palestinian people. Putin indicated that Russia is ready to hold talks with the parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to find a solution to the crisis and halt military operations. The Ministry of Interior in the Gaza Strip announced that Israeli warplanes destroyed a house belonging to the Dawas family in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, killing its residents. The Ministry indicated that a number of people were killed and wounded under the rubble as a result of the Israeli raid. The Ministry stated that civil defense and ambulance crews are working to evacuate the wounded and recover the bodies of the deceased. The Ministry of Interior also indicated that Israeli warplanes destroyed a house belonging to the Al-Agha family, killing its residents. In Khan Younis, a large number of martyrs and wounded remain trapped under the rubble, and civil defense and ambulance crews are working to rescue them. Israeli occupation forces also bombed Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, as well as the central part of Khan Younis. The Red Cross stated on Saturday that the forced displacement of Gaza residents violates international humanitarian law. Earlier on Saturday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that wars have rules and that international humanitarian law must be respected and civilians in Gaza protected. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) revealed that tens of thousands of Gazans have fled south. OCHA indicated that this came after Israel gave Palestinians 24 hours to evacuate the northern Gaza Strip before a planned ground offensive. The office stated on its website that "before the evacuation order, more than 400,000 Palestinians were displaced within the Gaza Strip due to the hostilities." The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on Israel to rescind its orders for more than one million people living in northern Gaza to evacuate their homes and head south. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the calls directed For Palestinians to relocate to the Sinai Peninsula is not conducive to peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated earlier today that Russia's position on Palestine and Israel is well-known to both sides, emphasizing that Moscow supports the implementation of UN resolutions and the establishment of a Palestinian state. According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, Putin said at the plenary session of the international forum "Russian Energy Week": "Russia's position, which I have just stated and explained, did not develop today, not in connection with these tragic events, but rather has developed over decades. This position is known to the Israeli side and to our friends in Palestine." He added: "We have always advocated for the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions, taking into account, first and foremost, the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state." He noted, "The Palestinian issue is at the heart of every Muslim, and what is happening is horrific," adding, "We must strive to minimize or eliminate civilian casualties." Yesterday, Israel's ambassador to Egypt, Amira Oron, stated that Israel has no intentions regarding Sinai, indicating that Tel Aviv has not asked Palestinians to relocate there. There. Oron explained that “Israel is committed to the peace treaty with Egypt, which defined the borders between the two countries.” The Israeli ambassador to Egypt emphasized that “Sinai is Egyptian territory where the Egyptian army has fought terrorism for the past ten years.” Watch the video:

On Oct. 14, 2023, the WANN family lost Yousef Maher Dawas. He was killed by an Israeli missile strike on his family’s home in the northern town of Beit Lahia. Several other members of his family were also killed.May Yousef and his family rest in peace.Yousef was studying to be a psychoanalyst. In January 2023, Yousef published an essay at the WANN website, Who will pay for the 20 years we lost? In this essay, he recounts the destruction of his family’s orchard by an Israeli missile strike in May 2022. The orchard trees produced olives, oranges, clementines, loquat, guavas, lemons and pomegranates, and its loss “destroyed an important piece of our past. Our family’s history. Our heritage.”Yousef took some solace in the hope of replanting. WANNers take some solace in the knowledge that Youself is planted in our hearts forever.Youself was a contributing writer for Palestine Chronicle, which also published a tribute to him. This article includes a video in which the young man talks about his desire to visit other cities in Palestine “more than Paris or the Maldives Islands.” Yousef’s last article for Palestine Chronicle is Kidney Transplant and Rebirth: A Palestinian Love Story.Yousef’s colleagues have contributed the following tributes.Ahmed DremlyI want to talk about Yousef, I want hours to talk about him—even hours would not be enough. Yousef was one of the most helpful guys, not only with We Are Not Numbers, but generally. All the people who met him loved him! Because he was funny, he was a joyful guy.He used to talk about positive things—about his dreams of traveling, his love of nature. He was always arranging for us to hang out together. He loved to be with people, with journalists. He was a contribute to WANN, Palestine Deep Dive, and Palestine Chronicle. Before the war he was the volunteer cameraman of WANN. He loved photography and he used to take good photos for us on the team.On the first days of the attacks on Gaza, he sent me messages asking if I could join him to go to document all of the massacres that happened in Gaza. But I told him I wouldn’t go, because they attack journalists. So if I want to be honest, Yousef was one of the most sensitive, helpful and interesting guys I’ve ever met in my life.Tala AlbannaMy beloved Yousef, Joe as he used to be named, or my therapist as I [was] accustomed to call him. My way to the university was full of our talks about his cats and his favorite author, Ahlam Mosteghanemi.He was a great supporter to me besides a study partner during all the exams period.Rahaf Abu Zarifa I’ve known Yousef for two years now, from WANN and a lot of other subactivities.A great guy with a lot of dreams. He always supported my skills in photography, in writing, which he was passionate about too.We were working together on a photography project the last time I saw him. Wednesday, 20th of September. This is the second day of him not being a part of this earth. May he rest in peace.Hamza IbrahimMy friendship with Yousef warmed my heart in a way that was like the sun’s final kiss to the sea. He resembled the stars in the sky, embellishing my darkness. He left me without saying goodbye. Later, in heaven, I will see you.I’ve known Yousef for the past two years, and his memory will forever be etched in my heart. A radiant smile was his constant companion, a reflection of his kind, understanding, and loving nature. Yousef was not just a friend; he was a beacon of light, a selfless soul who poured his heart into caring for his friends and community.Mahmoud YazgyHe was not only kind but remarkably [full of] initiative, always the first to lend a hand, the first to champion a cause, and the first to sacrifice for the well-being of his community. Yousef’s dedication was unwavering, and his commitment to his people was an inspiration to us all.The Israeli air strike buried his smile under the rubbles of his house. Recollections of our long walks together after our “We Are Not Numbers” classes flood my thoughts, my heart racing and hands trembling with sorrow. We shared stories, dreams, and aspirations on those walks.I remember one day when we were out with our group of friends, and I arrived a little late. Spotting an empty chair beside Yousef, I immediately relocated, and when asked why, I simply replied, “Because he’s Yousef.” He was this friend who would understand the hints without saying anything. Today, Yousef may be a martyr, but his legacy lives on in our hearts.Dear Yousef, you may not be present with us today, but I believe you’ve found peace in a better place. Your spirit continues to inspire us, and your memory will forever serve as a guiding light, a reminder of the profound impact one person can have on the world.Kate Casa (mentor)Kate Casa carries a poster of Yousef at the march to demand a ceasefire in Washington Nov. 4, 2023.It was such an honor to work with Yousef. He was motivated and open-minded. Like all of the young WANN writers I have worked with, he was anxious to tell his stories so that we in the West could better understand their lives in Gaza. These efforts to make their stories fit our westernized versions of how a narrative should read can sometimes feel like ongoing colonization. It’s difficult for me to imagine writing in a different language, with a different set of rules and structures, especially when it is about something so personal as life under occupation. But Yousef willingly and enthusiastically took this on.Nick Appleyard (mentor)He was such a bright and positive young man! It was a pleasure to work with him on his essay – I won’t ever forget that great big smile.

He was killed, along with several members of his family, in the northern town of Beit Lahia on Saturday, October 14. His latest article in The Palestine Chronicle was entitled ‘Kidney Transplant and Rebirth: A Palestinian Love Story’. We had written back to him, telling him that we were proud of his work and that we would like to cooperate for years to come.

Yousef Maher Dawas, a contributing writer for Palestine Chronicle and a writer for We Are Not Numbers (WANN), a youth-led Palestinian nonprofit project, was killed in an Israeli missile strike on his family’s home in the northern town of Beit Lahia, located in the Gaza Strip north of Jabalia,  according to WANN @WeAreNotNumbers and Palestine Chronicle @PalestineChron. #Palestine #Israel @pressfreedom "Portraits of journalists in the Israel-Gaza conflict", archive: https://channeldraw.org/2023/10/16/portraits-of-journalists-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/…

In August of this year, Yousef Maher Dawas, a young Palestinian author, wrote a story of hope and resilience, titled “ Kidney Transplant and Rebirth: A Palestinian Love Story”. On the 14th of October, Yousef was killed by an Israeli missile strike, along with several members of his family. Remember his words. He was not a number. Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian poet, was well known for his ability to use language as a metaphorical homeland in place of the physical one that he, and thousands of other Palestinians, were denied access to. Forced to live in exile, Darwish was in Beirut when he wrote Memory for Forgetfulness, during the Israeli siege on southern Lebanon in 1982. In it, he wrote: Does a bomb have grandchildren? Us. Does a piece of shrapnel have grandparents? Us. And the silence, the silence of the spectators, has turned into boredom. We can read these words now, some forty years after they were written - as Israel continues its unrelenting bombing campaign on the Gaza Strip - and hear them as if they were written yesterday. “I want a language that I can lean on and that can lean on me, that asks me to bear witness and that I can ask to bear witness,” wrote Darwish. ‘Shahida’ in Arabic means ‘bearing witness’, and from it also stems ‘gravestone’, ‘epitaph’, and ‘martyr’. For Darwish, the use of poetry and prose was necessary so that history could bear witness to the Palestinian experience, both in life and in death. I started reading Darwish as the Israeli Defence Force began their 22-day assault on the Gaza Strip in late 2008. I was in Israel and Palestine working on an art project and had only equipped myself with so much knowledge with which to land. It was a steep learning curve to understand the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict while Palestinians were being bombed just forty kilometres away. Being there hastened the learning, without a doubt. I walked past Israelis who were yelling ‘death to Arabs!’, as well as those who were instead directing their anger toward the Israeli Knesset, shouting “You do not build an election campaign over the dead bodies of children!” as they took part in a 10,000 strong march against the war. Israelis, Palestinians, and everyone else, walking together in the face of horror. A fifteen-year-old Palestinian who has grown up in Gaza will have already lived through five wars and the deaths of around 11,000 of their Palestinian brothers and sisters. They are the grandchildren of the bombs. Their grandparents will have seen so many pieces of shrapnel lodged into Palestinian bodies and minds throughout the fifty-six years of Israeli occupation. But we are the bored spectators, we are the silence. “I don’t know what the world is waiting for.” These are words from a young writer I know in Gaza—Habiba, a medical student who describes herself as a ‘searcher.’ We were paired together through We Are Not Numbers (WANN), a platform that celebrates and sheds light on Palestinian stories through a mentoring program between experienced writers in the US, Europe and Australia and young Palestinian writers from Gaza, the West Bank and throughout the diaspora. The mission behind WANN is to put a face and a story behind the numbers presented in the media, to ensure that Palestinian people are not simply reduced to a number. Now Habiba and all the WANN writers—like everyone else in Gaza—are living under constant bombardment from Israeli warplanes, missiles, bombs, and an imminent ground invasion, following the attack on southern Israel by Hamas on October 7. Gazans are now living with the perpetual fear that they may not make it through the night—and indeed, already more than 8000 haven’t. So far, three WANN writers have been killed by Israeli airstrikes while sheltering in their homes. Yousef Maher Dawas, was killed by an Israeli missile strike on the 14th of October, along with several members of his family. Described as a ‘joyful guy’, Yousef was studying to be a psychoanalyst and was interested in economics and politics. He was also learning the guitar. In an article from January this year, Yousef wrote about the destruction of his family’s orchard by an Israeli missile strike in May 2022. “Most Gazans have their own way of seeking sanctuary and shelter in their mind,” he wrote. “My escape was to play video games. I knew that youngsters in countries across the world were playing the same game as me — but for fun, not to escape death.” On October 20, Mahmoud Alnaouq, the brother of WANN co-founder Ahmed Alnaouq, was killed alongside his father, Nasri, one of his brothers, Muhammad, his sisters Walaa, Alaa, and Aya, and their children, Bakr, Basma, Raghad, Islam, Sarah, Abdullah, Islam, Dima, Tala, Nour, Nasma, Tamim, and Malak. Mahmoud was twenty-five years old. He thought “the most effective way to change people’s minds and to make a change in the world is through writing.” Like Darwish, under siege, these young writers have found a way to speak to the Palestinian experience, bridging the gap between language and mortality, even while expecting to die. On October 17, Abdallah al-Jazzar wrote in an essay published at the WANN website, “To be alive right now is nothing short of a miracle, and the opportunity to speak directly to you is both a privilege and an uncertainty. I may be gone by the time these words reach you, but I assure you, it’s never too late. Gazans have spoken from the grave in the hopes that someone, somewhere, finally listens. Will it be this time? The next time? Any time?” Who is listening? Last Wednesday, our Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, called for a “humanitarian pause” so that much needed aid can be delivered to Gaza—but this doesn’t go far enough. A pause indicates just that—a pause. It implies that Israel can press play again when it’s ready. Australia must use stronger words. Neither Wong nor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have condemned Israel’s attacks on innocent civilians in Gaza, despite condemning Hamas, and unreservedly stating that the government stands with Israel and supports its right to self-defence, while not acknowledging the Palestinians right to resist their occupation. Nor have they acknowledged that Israel is committing what may amount to war crimes, as defined by international law. On Friday, Australia abstained on a UN General Assembly non-binding resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in Gaza. Abstention, in this context, is a calculated silence that averts the gaze and ensures complicity with Israel and the United States. Words matter. When UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres pleaded for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza, his words mattered so much that Israel called for his immediate resignation, and it is banning UN staff from entering Israel. That is the power of words, even when simply stating the facts. A few days ago Habiba had written, “It’s almost afternoon and we haven’t eaten anything yet.. there’s no water, no gas for the cook. My aunt went for the bakery 4 hours ago and still hasn’t come back.” On Thursday, I woke up to another message: “They just bombed a house near us.. we all crawled into the hallway.. this is by far the loudest/scariest one ever.” I don’t know what words to say back to Habiba. I tell her that I am here, that I am thinking of her and her family, that we will make sure their voices are heard, that thousands, millions of people all over the world are protesting and will not be silenced by fear of vitriolic abuse, that we will not stop speaking the truth of these atrocities. Words matter. Like the WANN writers, Darwish knew this intensely. He wrote: “I want to find a language that transforms language itself into steel for the spirit - a language to use against these sparkling silver insects, these jets.” The young writers in Gaza are—right now—doing everything they can to transform the sounds and smells of death into steel for the spirit, but they also need to know that we are listening, that we are here. Words matter.

Israel’s military has bombed Gaza for more than two weeks in an unprecedentedly fierce and relentless assault – retaliation for Hamas’s murderous onslaught on 7 October.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it has targeted Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants, but thousands of civilians, including children, have been killed in strikes that have flattened residential districts.
