Head of the Tunisian regime Kais Saied faces a stark contradiction over Palestine, championing the cause publicly while restricting some of its defenders, including UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who was barred from entering Tunisia for a second time.

“Israel’s” escalation in Gaza and the West Bank, amid political and military pressures, has intensified disputes over occupation, ceasefire violations, and demands for Palestinian disarmament.

Escalating Israeli attacks on Gaza’s police and security forces have led to heavy casualties and institutional strain, prompting emergency planning and the rise of community-led initiatives to preserve order and prevent lawlessness amid ongoing conflict.

From makeshift camps west of Tripoli to first-aid workshops and legal and media training sessions, preparations are intensifying for the Moroccan Sumud Flotilla 2, part of a broader Maghreb initiative aiming to reach the Egyptian border in a renewed attempt to break the Israeli Occupation’s blockade on Gaza.

When the ceasefire was announced on October 10, 2025, Gaza residents hoped to return home in peace, but instead of restoring freedom of movement, Israeli military lines divided the territory and confined people to an increasingly restricted space.
