Col. Steve Gabavics was a top official in the U.S. Security Coordinator for Israel and the…

Ceasefire is a relief. After two years of surviving war, we can finally breathe — but that doesn’t mean our suffering is over. For many of us, it’s only just begun. The tents, and the people still living in them, stand as a heavy reminder that our struggles are far from over. After two years of immense destruction by the Israeli military, most families in Gaza are now living in tents — nylons and…

At least 740 Palestinians in Gaza died over a period of 13 months while awaiting medical evacuation that never came, the UN has reported, as Israel denied tens of thousands of Palestinians of this crucial lifeline. This death toll includes at least 137 children who were on the evacuation list and died between July 2024 and August 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported this week.

Ahead of a ground invasion that officials threatened would be a “mighty hurricane,” Israel ordered the entire population of Gaza City—over one million people—to evacuate. For those in Gaza City, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times, this order presents a deadly choice: flee into the unknown yet again, or stay and face the advancing Israeli army. “We already experienced displacement,” Ziad Ayyad, a refugee in Gaza City, says. “We can’t do it again. We’re staying here. Whatever happens, happens. Even if they crush us under their tanks.” In August 2025, TRNN asked Palestinians if they plan to evacuate or stay as Israel attempts to completely depopulate Gaza City. This is what they told us.

Narrator:
Israel has ordered the entire population of Gaza City—over one million people—to evacuate. The orders come ahead of a ground invasion that Israeli officials have described as a ‘mighty hurricane.’ For those in Gaza city, many of whom have already been displaced multiple times, this order presents a deadly choice: flee into the unknown yet again, or stay and face the advancing Israeli army.

We moved from one place to another: from Nuseirat to Deir al-Balah, then from Deir to Gaza City.

This week the International Court of Justice (ICJ or World Court) told Israel what seems obvious to any reasonable person — that it cannot starve civilians as a method of warfare. But Israel does not act in accordance with international law, as evidenced by its two-year campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, during which it has killed over 68,000 Gazans (more likely 680,000…

The International Court of Justice ruled Wednesday that Israel, as an occupying power, must allow United Nations humanitarian aid into Gaza and may not use starvation as a method of warfare. In its advisory opinion, the World Court also found that Israel had failed to provide evidence for its claims that UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, lacks neutrality or that a significant number…
