Story summary

A nine-month-old Palestinian infant, Kinan Ahmed Raqiq, died from hypothermia in a tent in southern Gaza on November 12, 2026, as reported by Al Jazeera. The baby's father, Ahmed Raqiq, said he found Kinan's skin blue and rushed him to a hospital, but the child had already frozen to death. This incident has occurred amidst severe restrictions on winter supplies by Israel, which has been criticized by a coalition of over 50 countries and organizations. These nations are calling on Israel to allow critical items like shelter, fuel, water, sanitation, and health supplies into Gaza to alleviate the dire humanitarian situation.

These children will sadly not be the last to die due to Israel’s genocide of Gaza.
On CNN, Attorney General Todd Blanche suggested he would follow through with Trump’s orders and launch investigations into Democrats, claiming that since the election, some lawmakers “have done nothing but threaten everything that’s happening in this administration.”
Even a lame duck Trump will continue harming democracy, undermining the Constitution, and harming societies worldwide.
It’s too early to tell what, if any, meaningful impact Tuesday’s election in the U.S. will have on the U.S.-Israel relationship, but it’s clear much of America – and the world – is demanding Israel be held accountable for its actions.
You’ve probably heard about the big races – Abdul El-Sayed’s major win in Michigan, James Talarico in Texas, Keisha Lance Bottoms in Georgia – but there are a whole host of other major victories you may have missed that show not only how massive this blue tsunami was, but just how unsuccessful Trump’s anti-DEI campaign and racist policies have been.
The live stream featured an all-star roster of special guests, including Rep. Greg Casar, Mahmoud Khalil, Michigan State Rep. Alabas Farhat, former Rep. Andy Levin, United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, and more.
We might go live as early as 8pm ET (5pm PST / 1am GMT) if results from other races start pouring in.
Will Trump’s warmongering, vile racism, and brazen corruption be punished?
It is going to be all hands on deck for team Zeteo on election night: Mehdi and Prem will be live from Abdul El-Sayed HQ in Detroit, Michigan from 9pm ET on Substack and YouTube; Swin Suebsaeng will be on the ground covering the major races in Ohio (hello Vivek Ramasawmy!), and Andrew Perez will be reporting on whether it is finally game over for Susan Collins in Maine.
Whatever the outcome of Israel’s election, the result will be the same: more of the occupation, dispossession, and killing that Palestinians saw this week.
