Democracy Now! speaks with the renowned Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi, the director of the new #documentary “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk.” The #film is based on regular video calls Farsi made with the #Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona in #Gaza over the course of a year from April 2024 to April 2025.

Hassona was killed with her family by an Israeli missile that targeted her apartment building in northern Gaza. The strike occurred just one day after she learned that the film centered around her life and work had been selected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. “It’s something that I will never get over,” says Farsi.

Israel to approve 2,000 new #WestBank settlements, Trump prepares to strike Venezuela military targets

Drop Site Daily: Oct 31, 2025
from #DropSiteNews

The Washington Post reveals a classified #US assessment identifying “many hundreds” of potential Israeli human rights violations likely to take years to assess. Washington dismisses #Israel’s plan to revive the #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—where thousands were killed seeking aid—as “unrealistic,” while preparing its own CENTCOM-led “international stabilization force.” The #Trump administration is reportedly preparing airstrikes on military installations in #Venezuela. The Lebanese president orders the army to confront Israeli troops following deadly incursions in Blida and nearby towns. The #Netherlands’ center-left D66 narrowly edges out Geert Wilders, pledging stronger support for #Palestine.

Only six #hospitals are partially operating in Gaza City, as the #Gaza Health Ministry issues a distress call on Monday to protect what remains of health services. Israeli Forces raided the village of Al-Mughayyir in the #WestBank for four consecutive days. [...]

Trump and Netanyahu threatened to launch even more violent “alternatives” to ceasefire negotiations as Hamas political leader blasts U.S.-#Israeli “blackmail."

Basem Naim, another senior #Hamas official, told Drop Site, “#Trump is playing a strategic game of deception,” adding that the #US and #Israel were seeking to increase pressure on Hamas to capitulate. He said Trump’s comments, and similar ones made by Witkoff, were intended to apply “more pressure before the next round” of negotiations and to buy time for Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu “to reorganize the internal situation.”

#Israel attacked the Cairo Elementary School for Girls in central #Gaza City just as people had gathered in the school yard for Friday prayers, according to multiple eyewitnesses. Many of the displaced in the school are from areas in northern Beit Hanoun, which has been nearly completely destroyed and emptied by the #Israeli military. So far, Israel has not published even a perfunctory justification for the strike and the Israeli military did not immediately respond to questions submitted by Drop Site about the attack.

LONDON (AP) — Twenty-five countries including #Britain, #France and a host of #European nations issued a joint statement on Monday that puts more pressure on #Israel, saying the war in #Gaza “must end now” and Israel must comply with international law.

The foreign ministers of countries including #Australia, #Canada and #Japan said “the suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.” They condemned “the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food.”
