An estimate of the total percentage of civilians killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023 superimposed on a photo from a press conference by doctors, led by Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta, outside Al-Ahli Hospital on October 17, 2023, after the first hospital massacre undertaken by Israeli forces.Please click on either of the ‘Donate’ buttons below (via PayPal or Stripe) to make a donation towards the $2,500 (£2,000) I’m trying to raise to support my work as a reader-funded investigative journalist...| www.andyworthington.co.uk
My analysis of the momentous events of the last few days, as a ceasefire has begun in Gaza, and the last remaining living Israeli hostages have been freed in exchange for 1,968 Palestinians, including 1,718 hostages seized in Gaza since October 7, 2023, and held without charge or trial. I condemn the dehumanization of the Palestinians in most of the western media, in contrast to the attention paid to the Israelis, especially as so any of the Palestinians had so evidently been severely mistrea...| Andy Worthington
Photos from, and my report about the 33rd consecutive coordinated monthly global vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay, which took place across the US, in Washington, D.C., New York, San Francisco, Portland, Detroit and Los Angeles, and in London, Brussels, Mexico City and Belgrade on October 1, 2025, with Cobleskill, NY joining on October 4. I also provide commentary and analysis regarding Donald Trump’s use of Guantánamo in the “war on migrants” ...| Andy Worthington
My tentatively optimistic response to the news that the first phase of the Gaza “Peace Plan” that Donald Trump first announced eleven days ago has been agreed by the Israeli government and Palestinian negotiators, promising an enduring ceasefire in return for the freeing of the remaining hostages in Gaza (and with Palestinian prisoners and hostages also freed), and with humanitarian aid once more allowed into Gaza in significant quantities. Although Palestinian negotiators recognize that ...| Andy Worthington
Marking the unforgivable second anniversary of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, I reflect on how this unparalleled atrocity has been allowed to happen — through a rewriting of history, based on the false suggestion that the attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 occurred in a vacuum, and not as a response to 75 years of oppression, apartheid and murder. I also reflect on the unprecedented complicity of the west and the profiteering of arms companies and tech companies, and, above...| Andy Worthington
Promoting my new online single ‘O Palestine’, a collaboration with my son Tyler (beatboxer The Wiz-RD) on which I play all the instruments — except for the beatboxing. Recorded with the great Charlie Hart, I’m releasing it as the clock ticks inexorably towards the unforgivable second anniversary of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, in two days’ time, and as Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be doing all in his power to wreck the “Peace Plan” pushed by Donald Trump. I hope you appreciate th...| Andy Worthington

Increasingly isolated internationally, Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an unhinged speech to the UN General Assembly on September 26, 2025, speaking to an almost empty hall, as most of the delegates present had walked out in disgust.

My analysis of Israel’s increasing international isolation, as a number of western countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Portugal and France, have finally recognized the State of Palestine, as pressure mounts on FIFA to ban Israel from international football, and as calls also increase for it to be banned from the Eurovision Song Contest. In addition, just two days ago, Benjamin Netanyahu also faced an almost total walkout when he visited the US to address the UN General Assembly....| Andy Worthington

Last week, a joint investigation by +972 Magazine and the Guardian into an Israeli military intelligence database from May this year, indicating that 8,900 militants had been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, suggested that, based on the official health ministry death toll of 53,000 at the time, that meant that over 83% of those killed were civilians. This is a startling statistic, but as another investigation, by Adam Rzepka for CounterPunch explained, the true death toll is considerably...| Andy Worthington
