Barghouti: Israel Shows its True Face on Oslo

Mustafa Barghouti, Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative comments:

Israel is revealing its true face with the decision of its government to discuss the cancellation of the Oslo Accords and their annexes. Since the signing of the Oslo agreements, which are riddled in loopholes, most notably the failure to stipulate a settlement freeze, we have warned that Israel and the Zionist movement use agreements as a temporary measure to shift the balance of power in their favor, and that their unchanging goal is the annexation and Judaization of all of the occupied Palestinian territories.

Barghouti adds: “Now, Israel is revealing its true face by rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state and by tearing up the Oslo Accords, which it had already discarded long before deciding to cancel them altogether.

He pointed out: No one can hide behind talk of “peace,” “negotiations,” and the so-called “two-state solution” and continue to evade imposing sanctions and boycotts on Israel after all the crimes and genocide it has committed.”

Ceasefire Violations: Israeli Shelling and Gunfire

Israeli occupation forces continued their violations of the ceasefire agreement, Monday, through shelling, gunfire, and the ongoing siege of the Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported a child was wounded by Israeli fire in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip. A young man was also wounded by Israeli fire near the Al-Samar intersection in Gaza City.

Local sources reported that Israeli tanks fired heavily on several areas east of the Gaza Strip on Monday morning.

Israeli military vehicles opened fire east of Gaza City, coinciding with heavy tank fire towards the eastern areas of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Israeli artillery also shelled areas east of Khan Younis.

Israeli forces arrested three brothers, all fishermen, while they were working off the coast of Gaza City.

Israeli occupation forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip through aerial and artillery bombardment of areas housing displaced persons, as well as demolition and destruction operations within the so-called “yellow line,” while maintaining restrictions on the movement of goods, aid, and travel.

According to data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the number of martyrs since the ceasefire began on October 10 has risen to 854, in addition to 2,453 injuries and 770 bodies recovered.

The total death toll from the offensive since October 7, 2023, has reached approximately 72,740 martyrs and 172,555 injuries, indicating the heavy human cost of the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip. – Palestinian Information Center:

Palestinian Saher Alghorra Wins Pullitzer

Palestinian photographer Saher Alghorra has secured the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for his poignant documentation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Alghorra, a contributor to the New York Times, won for a series that Pulitzer Administrator Marjorie Miller described as “haunting” and “sensitive.”

The images illustrated the starvation and destruction resulting from Israel’s genocide in Gaza since October 2023.

Miller underscored the importance of independent journalism amid escalating obstacles.

In addition to the Pulitzer, Alghorra won the first prize for war photography at the 32nd Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie in France last October.

His award-winning report, “Trapped in Gaza: Between Fire and Famine”, highlighted the reality of life under siege and the plight of civilians caught between bombardment and starvation. TRTWorld
