People in the enclave wept and chanted, “Allahu Akbar” voicing hopes that the deal would end the war and let them return to their homes. Senior Hamas official Izzat al-Risheq said in a statement that “the ceasefire is the fruit of the tremendous sacrifices and the legendary patience of our people, as well as the strength and steadfastness of the resistance.”

‎The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group appeared to welcome the deal, going so far as to acknowledge the US and Arab mediation involved: “What was achieved in the ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal is not a gift from anyone, yet we do not deny the Arab and international efforts,” the group said in a statement. The statement emphasized the tremendous sacrifices made by the Palestinian people and rejected the idea that the agreement involves any capitulation.

🚨Former Isiolo North MP Charfano Mokku Survives an Attempt On His Life

Isiolo, Kenya| This evening, the residence of Charfano Mokku, the former long-serving Member of Parliament for Isiolo North, came under attack by suspected armed assailants.

Eyewitness accounts confirm that between four and six heavily armed men, dressed in full police jungle uniform and carrying AK-47 rifles, attempted to gain entry into the compound.

When denied access at the main gate, the attackers scaled the perimeter fence and discharged several rounds of ammunition, some of which struck the roof of the residence.

The incident comes in the wake of highly reliable intelligence reports, received about three weeks ago, indicating that an elaborate plan had been hatched to assassinate the leader.

Although no casualties were recorded in the latest attack, the attempt has heightened fears and raised serious concerns over the safety of political leaders, as well as the deteriorating state of security in the county.

Authorities have arrived on the scene and investigations are expected to commence immediately to establish the identities of the attackers, their sponsors, and their motive.

We shall keep you up-to-date on any new developments regarding this developing story.

🚨Pro-Palestine Riots Erupt Across Italy
as Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Government Rejects Calls to Recognize Palestine🇵🇸

Demonstrations and violent riots have erupted across Italy in support of Palestine and against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, increasing pressure on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government, which has so far rejected calls to recognize Palestinian statehood.

The unrest comes as a number of countries, such as the UK, Canada, Australia, and Portugal, formally recognized Palestine in recent days, with France expected to follow suit at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

Protests across the country demanded Italy suspend commercial and military ties with Israel. In Milan, protesters smashed the glass doors of the city’s Central Station and set fire to a US flag near the American consulate, prompting police to use tear gas. Protest organizers claimed over 30,000 people participated in a demo in the capital, while rallies across the country shut down ports in Genoa, Livorno, and Marghera and blocked highways in Bologna and Tuscany.

Meloni condemned the demonstrations as “shameful,” writing on X that the violence “has nothing to do with solidarity” and would only harm Italian citizens.

The prime minister has insisted that Italy backs a two-state solution but argued recognition of Palestine “before it is established” would be “counterproductive.” Italy remains one of Israel’s closest allies in the EU, citing historical responsibility, security cooperation, and pro-Atlantic foreign policy.

The UNGA this month overwhelmingly supported a resolution backing a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. The US and Israel opposed the measure, joined by a handful of small Pacific island nations.

The war began after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which killed about 1,200 people and saw more than 250 taken hostage. Israel responded with a blockade and large-scale military campaign in Gaza, where local health authorities say more than 65,000 people have been killed and which an independent UN commission found to constitute genocide.
