From Palestine 🇵🇸 to the World
JD Vance openly admitted that Jared Kushner Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a private citizen with no official government role, is “the investor” behind the Middle East peace talks.
In other words, a man who recently secured billions from foreign sovereign funds is now shaping U.S. foreign policy and negotiating peace deals on behalf of the country.

NEW | EU Faces Backlash for Freezing Sanctions on Israel Amid Trump-Led Peace Plan
The EU is facing heavy criticism after pausing sanctions against Israel’s government, citing a shift in “context” following Donald Trump’s new peace initiative, even as the fragile ceasefire risks collapse.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced that plans to suspend preferential trade and sanction Israeli officials would be put on hold but “not taken off the table.”
Former EU diplomats and human rights experts condemned the move, saying Brussels is shielding Israel from accountability despite findings that it breached human rights obligations.
Critics, including former EU envoy Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff and Human Rights Watch, said the bloc was undermining international law and abandoning pressure at a critical moment.
Around 200 U.S. service members with expertise in logistics, security, engineering, and planning helped establish the center under Lt. Gen. Patrick Frank, commander of U.S. Army Central.
The CMCC says it is intended to support Gaza’s transition to civilian governance while ensuring the ceasefire agreement is upheld.

A new poll shows that nearly half of Democratic voters participating in the primary elections have pledged to oppose any candidate receiving funding or support from pro-Israel lobby groups, such as AIPAC.
This stance reflects growing grassroots anger within the Democratic base over Israeli policies in Gaza, especially following the devastating war that resulted in tens of thousands of civilian casualties.
Many voters believe that funding from pro-Israel lobby groups negatively influences U.S. positions on justice and human rights, emphasizing that it is time to end unconditional support for Israel and hold it accountable for its crimes in Palestine.

Israel has urged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to retract his pledge to comply with an ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits Canada.
Carney confirmed last week that he would honor his predecessor Justin Trudeau’s commitment to arrest Netanyahu on war crimes charges.
Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian called on Carney to reconsider and welcome Netanyahu, “the leader of the only Jewish and democratic state in the Middle East.”
The ICC issued arrest warrants last year over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, which Israel rejects.

Schwartz wrote in his Facebook post that commanders informed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu during a meeting that “all Palestinians, all homes, and kindergartens” in Gaza are “Hamas bases,” in efforts to encourage the government to go back to continue the genocide in Gaza after securing all Israeli captives.
Breaking | U.S. Opens Gaza Coordination Hub to Support Stabilization Efforts
The U.S. Central Command officially inaugurated a Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in “Israel” on October 17, establishing a key hub to coordinate humanitarian, logistical, and security assistance to Gaza, five days after a U.S.-brokered plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza was signed.
The CMCC says it will not deploy U.S. troops into Gaza but will facilitate the flow of international aid and monitor ceasefire implementation through an operations floor providing real-time updates. It also includes office and meeting spaces to enable collaborative planning among partner nations, NGOs, international institutions, and private sector representatives.
“Bringing together stakeholders who share the goal of successful stabilization in Gaza is essential for a peaceful transition,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander.

NEW | More than 40 Democratic Senators urge Trump to reaffirm opposition to Israeli annexation of the occupied West Bank
Over forty Democratic senators have signed a letter urging President Trump to reaffirm his opposition to any Israeli annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank, a stance he privately conveyed to Arab and Muslim leaders but did not include in his 20-point Gaza peace plan, according to Axios.
The senators, in a rare show of bipartisan alignment with Trump, said it is vital to restate this position now that the Gaza ceasefire is in effect. They warned that any annexation attempt could jeopardize the Abraham Accords, Trump’s signature foreign policy achievement, and further undermine prospects for a two-state solution.
Only Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) declined to sign the letter, which emphasized that annexation would “place at risk” regional stability and U.S. credibility.
NEW | According to the Prisoners’ Media Office:
Palestinian detainee Omar Abdul Jalil al-Abed, 27, from the town of Kober north of Ramallah, has been suffering from severe health complications inside Nafha desert prison after losing more than 20 kilograms due to the Israeli prison administration’s systematic policy of starvation and medical neglect.
His family confirmed they have been unable to visit him for three years due to his mother’s illness and the occupation’s ban on lawyers from meeting him, leaving him in complete isolation without any direct contact with his loved ones.
The office held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for his life, warning of the ongoing starvation, medical negligence, and abuse systematically practiced against prisoners serving life sentences.
Watch | Journalist Jeremy Scahill criticized former U.S. President Joe Biden, telling Breaking Points that Biden’s legacy “should be that he was the butcher of Gaza.”

Hamas reaffirmed to the Turkish officials its full commitment to maintaining the cessation of fire despite the occupation’s ongoing violations.
NEW | UK Deploys Military Planners to Join U.S.-Led Gaza Stabilization Task Force
The UK Ministry of Defense has confirmed that a small group of British military planning officers, including a two-star deputy commander, has joined a U.S.-led task force aimed at supporting stabilization efforts in Gaza.
The initiative, known as the Civil-Military Coordination Centre (CMCC), forms part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan and seeks to maintain security and stability in Gaza following the ceasefire.
While the force’s structure and mandate are still being defined, Washington has pledged up to 200 troops to assist without deploying them directly inside Gaza and is consulting regional partners, including Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, Indonesia, the UAE, and Azerbaijan, for contributions.
A UK defense spokesperson said the move ensures Britain remains “integrated into U.S.-led planning for post-conflict stability in Gaza.”
Gaza’s skepticism of Trump’s peace plan runs deep. After repeated Israeli ceasefire violations, fully backed by the US, residents fear promises mean little in a war they cannot escape.
