Israel announces the ‘elimination’ of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Palestinians react to the reports, Netanyahu declares the war is not over yet, PM Albanese denounces Sinwar as a terrorist and Mary Kostakidis shares an interview of Sinwar, reminding us it is important to hear what they have to say. Unicef’s James Elder talks with Christiane Amanpour advising the North of Gaza has had no food aid at all during October and Abby Martin recalls how the world should have reacted a year ago. TRT’s documentary The American Dilemma: Elections Amid Gaza War reveals US complicity and more footage shows the devastation of North Gaza. Chris Hedges writes about how extermination only works at first, while British police storm the home of highly regarded investigative journalist Asa Winstanley. A five-minute scroll on X brings more news than we see in our media.

Whatever you may think of Sinwar and Hamas, it’s critical to hear what they have to say

This devastating moment should have compelled the world to stop Israel

Extermination works. At first. This is the terrible lesson of history. If Israel is not stopped — and no outside power appears willing to halt the genocide in Gaza or the destruction of Lebanon — it will achieve its goals of depopulating and… pic.twitter.com/wBg9hY8s6x
