The Ongi Etorri Errefuxiatuak platform has carried out a new edition of the "Yellow Tide" initiative on the beaches of Gorliz and Plentzia to "denounce the systematic violation of human rights in the world." They have recalled the migrants killed in the march with a symbolic floral offering and reading of a manifesto. The platform has called for "an end to war policies and exclusion measures against those who exercise their right to emigrate."

"You will not win," Ben Gvirr warns Barguti, who has been in prison since 2002 after being convicted by an Israeli court of five murders in the Second Intifada.  "Whoever enters the nation of Israel, who kills our children and our women, will be wiped off the earth," adds the controversial Israeli minister.

If the plan were to be undertaken, it would be an important step towards making the separation between the North and the South of Israel a reality. Human rights groups and members of the international community have criticized these claims for years because it would expel indigenous Palestinians.

Aitor Zabalgogearra, who has spent eight weeks in Gaza working as emergency coordinator for Médecins sans Frontières, has said that, after 22 months, "people have lost hope and hunger is increasing." Zabalgogeaskoa has experienced closely what happens at the food distribution points that Israel and the United States support.

At a media meeting in Bilbao, the Director-General of Médecins sans Frontières until 2012 and current emergency coordinator, Aitor Zabalgogearra, described the last eight weeks he has been in Gaza. Tonight he will be interviewed in the news "Gaur Egun" to explain the situation in the Gaza Strip. 

The United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Greece and Slovenia have warned of the danger to the hostages and have stressed that the humanitarian situation in Gaza would worsen.

"This is the best way to accelerate the end of this war," the Israeli Prime Minister said, adding that there is no famine in Gaza and that everything is "a campaign of distortion."

The Palestine Action Group has been legally classified as a "terrorist organization" in the United Kingdom since July, following the vandalisation of two aircraft at a local air force military base.

The Bilbao-Palestine popular initiative has concentrated in the Circular Square to call for the release of Palestine and denounce Netanyahu for "crimes against humanity."

It is an unprecedented decision in a German government. On the other hand, the Netherlands has revoked three licences for the export of parts of military vessels to Israel, and Norway has said that changes in Israeli investments will be announced next week.

According to a report by Médecins sans Frontières (MSF), the food distribution centres of the United States Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza are places of "orchestrated killings and dehumanization" and have called for their closure. Israel entrusted this foundation with the distribution of aid to Gaza after several months of total blockade.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has denounced Netanyahu's decision as contrary to the opinion of the International Court of Justice.

"Netanyahu's plans to spread the attack undoubtedly confirm that he wants to get rid of the captives and sacrifice them in order to satisfy his personal interests and his extremist ideological agenda," the Palestinian organization warned.

The Israeli Prime Minister has said that they do so for "security" and that "later" they would leave the government to the "Arab forces."

Joxerramon Bengoetxea has stressed the "importance of memory exercise." "We universities are obliged to do what is in our power to prevent it from recurring and to forget what happened."

Faced with this, Benjamin Netanyahu has stressed that the religious status quo will not change, and Hamas and Jordan have accused Israel of "provocations."

Nour Attaalah, 25, called for "killing Jews everywhere," and called for "high-definition images" of the executions of Israelis abducted by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

The platform has accused governments and the media of "hypocrisy" and called demonstrations in Vitoria-Gasteiz (6 August), Donostia-San Sebastián (10 August), Bilbao (15 August) and Pamplona (4 October).

They have called for a ceasefire agreement that will bring prisoners from Gaza back to Israel, in a massive protest with more people than usual, following the release of videos of them showing the hostages starving and demanding an agreement from the authorities.
