18.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day of Gaza's Winter Deaths and the Execution Bill
โŒจPalestinian media on December 18 prioritized the escalating humanitarian disaster in Gaza, where extreme winter conditions led to the deaths of at least 13 people, including infants in Khan Yunis. Early reports focused on these weather-related fatalities and the collapse of shelters, framing them as a direct consequence of the ongoing Israeli blockade on reconstruction materials. Simultaneously, editors tracked continued ceasefire violations, including a reported Israeli casualty in Jabaliya and naval bombardments in Rafah, which further strained the fragile truce following the assassination of Raed Saad.
By afternoon, editorial focus shifted toward Israeli legislative moves, specifically Itamar Ben Gvirโ€™s advancement of a bill to execute Palestinian prisoners. This was coupled with reports of the Palestinian Authority facing pressure over social protection laws and settler incursions into Al-Aqsa. The day concluded with heavy coverage of high-level diplomatic maneuvers in Miami involving US envoy Witkoff and regional mediators, as well as the controversy surrounding a $35 billion gas deal between Israel and Egypt.
