The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed Saturday that 660,000 children in the Gaza Strip are out of school for the third year in a row due to the ongoing war of annihilation waged by the Israeli occupation since Oct 2023. The war in Gaza is a war on children and must stop. Children must be always protected, UNRWA added in a statement. It reaffirmed the right of children to education, stressing that 660,000 children remain outside classrooms for the third consecutive year as a direct result of the war. In Gaza, children are at risk of becoming a lost generation due to the ongoing conflict, UNRWA stressed, calling for the importance of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and allowing children to return to their schools and lives. Since the onset of the Gaza genocide, over 17,085 school students have been killed, along with over 1,261 college students. According to the latest figures of the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education for the period between Oct 7, 2023, and August 2025, over 25,213 school students have been wounded, along with 2,671 college students.

The Palestinian Presidency urged the international community on Wednesday to impose sanctions that would compel the Israeli occupation to reconsider its destructive policies in the region and the world, and to take immediate action to confront its defiance of international legitimacy and law, rather than limiting itself to a policy of condemnation and denunciation.In remarks, the Official Spokesperson for the Palestinian Presidency, Nabil Abu Rudeineh said that the dangerous Israeli escalation in cities, villages, and refugee camps is condemned and rejected, most recently the storming of Nablus by military forces at dawn today, the encirclement of the Old City, the targeting of citizens, and forcing them to leave their homes.He noted that this is being accompanied by the ongoing war of extermination and starvation in the Gaza Strip. He stressed the need for the occupation to bear responsibility for the escalation of its military attacks and settler terrorism against the Palestinian people, asserting that the continuation of this policy will lead to the destruction of everything and will lead the region to further tension and instability.At dawn today, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) stormed Nablus and Tulkarm, accompanied by large crowds of soldiers, and carried out raids on homes and arrests of civilians, amid a prolonged silence regarding these practices, which are increasing throughout the occupied territories and coincide with the war of extermination targeting Gaza and its people.

The State of Qatar strongly condemned the Israeli occupation forces' incursion into the territory of the friendly Syrian Arab Republic, considering it a blatant violation of Syria's sovereignty, a flagrant breach of international law, and a challenge to the international will supporting Syria’s reconstruction, progress, and the establishment of peace in the region.In a statement issued Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community to take decisive action against the Israeli occupation and to compel it to stop its repeated attacks on Syrian territory and its irresponsible actions, which pose a serious threat to regional and international security.The Ministry reaffirmed the State of Qatar's full support for Syria's sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and the aspirations of its friendly people for security and stability.
