Palestinian beer managed to find its way to British store shelves this week from the Israeli-occupied West Bank despite onerous border checks, a distance of some 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometres) and a raging war in the region.\n\nHow it got here is a story of an unlikely bond between brewers in arms.\n\n\u201cMy grandfather used to say, if you can make it succeed and happen in Palestine, you can succeed anywhere else in the world,\u201d said Madees Khoury, brewmaster at Taybeh Brewing Co. and daughter and niece of the founders. \u201cBecause of these challenges and obstacles that we go through \u2014 it just makes you stronger.\u201d\n\nThe narrative of Taybeh Brewing Co. is one of repeatedly defying the odds.\n\nStart with the most basic fact: the company produces and sells a microbrew among a predominantly Muslim population that shuns alcohol for religious reasons. Then throw decades of conflict, water shortages and incursions by Israeli settlers and it\u2019s a small miracle any beer is still flowing from the Christian village of Taybeh.\n\nBusiness has suffered since Hamas militants killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and took more than 250 hostages on 7 October 2023, triggering a war that has led to the deaths of more than 64,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.\n\nIsraeli military operations have grown in the West Bank to counter what it says is a growing militant threat, though rights groups accuse Israel of excessive force and killings of innocent civilians. Violence by settlers also has surged, including the recent torching of a church in Taybeh.\n\nA helping hand overseas\n\nEnter Brewgooder, a Scottish company founded to make beer and do good, as its name implies.\n\nCo-founder James Hughes saw an article about Taybeh\u2019s struggles and offered to collaborate on a beer that could help it avoid checkpoints, boost business and raise money for charity.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever come across a brewery that has faced the hardship that Taybeh has,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cTraditionally collaborations are a celebration of fun and the sort of different styles and quirks that exist within the brewing industry. This one is just a completely different narrative and situation altogether.\u201d\n\nTaybeh, which was founded 34 years ago by Khoury\u2019s father, Nadim, and her uncle, David, claims to be the oldest microbrewery in the Middle East.\n\nNadim Khoury likes to joke that the barriers they have to clear are what make its beer special.\n\n\u201cWe have many problems in terms of culture, religion, occupation, siege, closures, the checkpoint, the port, the airport, electricity, shortage of water,\u201d he said. \u201cYou name it, you can make a book out of the problems and the obstacles that we have.\u201d\n\nIsrael captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war and Palestinians want all three territories for a future state. Israel\u2019s current government is staunchly opposed to Palestinian statehood and supports eventual annexation of much of the West Bank.\n\nLogistical headaches grow\n\nSince the war began, the Israeli crackdown has hit the West Bank economy hard, forcing bars, restaurants and hotels to close. Festivals have been canceled. Unemployment has soared. The market for a product considered a luxury collapsed.\n\nIsrael has also ramped up security and imposed stricter controls at its borders, creating another high hurdle to exporting to the 17 countries, including the UK, where Taybeh does business. All exports out of the West Bank must pass through Israeli crossings.\n\nEven before the war, the Palestinian company had to deal with logistics that took its beer three days to reach port. Now the trip is chaotic and more expensive, requires excessive paperwork and must pass through a new third security check.\n\n\u201cI can tell you stories of the delays, what we\u2019ve been through, and the nervous breakdowns, just doing our best to get the beer to our customers,\u201d Madees Khoury said.\n\nFor instance, if scanning machines aren\u2019t working, inspectors do a manual check and sometimes use dogs. If the dog spends too long in a truck, it triggers suspicions and further delays. One day, a dog urinated on cases of beer.\n\n\u201cMy driver would send me pictures and he\u2019s, like, \u2018Look what happened?\u2019\u201d Madees Khoury said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do. How am I making a high quality product and then by the time it reaches my customer in Jerusalem it smells like pee?\u201d\n\nProfits return to the Middle East\n\nThe partnership with Brewgooder should prevent that scenario. There are certainly no border checks within the UK.\n\nKhoury and Hughes worked together to develop Sun & Stone, a crisp, Mediterranean-style lager brewed with Bavarian hops and British malt. They produced 180,000 cans that are about a pint (440 millilitres) each.\n\nThe Glasgow brewery and Co-op, which will sell the beer starting on Wednesday in its 1,600 UK stores, are taking no profit. Proceeds from the sale will go to Taybeh to distribute among local charities and the Disasters Emergency Committee, which provides support to Gaza and Middle Eastern communities affected by conflict.\n\nHughes said the brewery\u2019s mission is rooted in humanity and compassion and he hopes the collaboration will inspire others to help Palestinians.\n\n\u201cAt the end of the day, we\u2019ve just brewed a beer,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cYou know, this isn\u2019t getting on a boat and going to Gaza or all these incredible other initiatives that many thousands of people globally are now doing.\u201d\n\n","htmlText":"<p>A Palestinian beer managed to find its way to British store shelves this week from the Israeli-occupied West Bank despite onerous border checks, a distance of some 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometres) and a raging war in the region.<\/p>\n<p>How it got here is a story of an unlikely bond between brewers in arms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandfather used to say, if you can make it succeed and happen in Palestine, you can succeed anywhere else in the world,\u201d said Madees Khoury, brewmaster at Taybeh Brewing Co. and daughter and niece of the founders. \u201cBecause of these challenges and obstacles that we go through \u2014 it just makes you stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The narrative of Taybeh Brewing Co. is one of repeatedly defying the odds.<\/p>\n<p>Start with the most basic fact: the company produces and sells a microbrew among a predominantly Muslim population that shuns alcohol for religious reasons. Then throw decades of conflict, water shortages and incursions by Israeli settlers and it\u2019s a small miracle any beer is still flowing from the Christian village of Taybeh.<\/p>\n<p>Business has suffered since Hamas militants killed 1,200 people in southern Israel and took more than 250 hostages on 7 October 2023, triggering a war that has led to the deaths of more than 64,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli military operations have grown in the West Bank to counter what it says is a growing militant threat, though rights groups accuse Israel of excessive force and killings of innocent civilians. Violence by settlers also has surged, including the recent torching of a church in Taybeh.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"9284430,9438236\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2025//05//13//more-than-350-stars-condemn-gaza-genocide-in-open-letter-in-time-for-cannes-opening/">More than 350 stars condemn Gaza \u2018genocide\u2019 in open letter in time for Cannes opening<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2025//08//27//italys-new-beer-train-sleeper-service-will-take-passengers-from-rome-to-munich-for-oktober/">Italy/u2019s new \u2018beer train\u2019 sleeper service will take passengers from Rome to Munich for Oktoberfest <\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>A helping hand overseas<\/h2>\n<p>Enter Brewgooder, a Scottish company founded to make beer and do good, as its name implies.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder James Hughes saw an article about Taybeh\u2019s struggles and offered to collaborate on a beer that could help it avoid checkpoints, boost business and raise money for charity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever come across a brewery that has faced the hardship that Taybeh has,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cTraditionally collaborations are a celebration of fun and the sort of different styles and quirks that exist within the brewing industry. This one is just a completely different narrative and situation altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taybeh, which was founded 34 years ago by Khoury\u2019s father, Nadim, and her uncle, David, claims to be the oldest microbrewery in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Nadim Khoury likes to joke that the barriers they have to clear are what make its beer special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have many problems in terms of culture, religion, occupation, siege, closures, the checkpoint, the port, the airport, electricity, shortage of water,\u201d he said. \u201cYou name it, you can make a book out of the problems and the obstacles that we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war and Palestinians want all three territories for a future state. Israel\u2019s current government is staunchly opposed to Palestinian statehood and supports eventual annexation of much of the West Bank.<\/p>\n<h2>Logistical headaches grow<\/h2>\n<p>Since the war began, the Israeli crackdown has hit the West Bank economy hard, forcing bars, restaurants and hotels to close. Festivals have been canceled. Unemployment has soared. The market for a product considered a luxury collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has also ramped up security and imposed stricter controls at its borders, creating another high hurdle to exporting to the 17 countries, including the UK, where Taybeh does business. All exports out of the West Bank must pass through Israeli crossings.<\/p>\n<p>Even before the war, the Palestinian company had to deal with logistics that took its beer three days to reach port. Now the trip is chaotic and more expensive, requires excessive paperwork and must pass through a new third security check.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"9452857,9454930\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2025//09//05//french-actress-adele-haenel-joins-the-global-sumud-flotilla-to-gaza-from-tunis/">French actress Ad\u00e8le Haenel joins the Global Sumud flotilla to Gaza from Tunis<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2025//09//07//tens-of-thousands-of-protesters-draw-the-red-line-for-gaza-in-brussels/">Tens of thousands of protesters draw the Red Line for Gaza in Brussels<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>\u201cI can tell you stories of the delays, what we\u2019ve been through, and the nervous breakdowns, just doing our best to get the beer to our customers,\u201d Madees Khoury said.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if scanning machines aren\u2019t working, inspectors do a manual check and sometimes use dogs.

says it plans to build 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, a move that includes formally recognising a number of unauthorised outposts already constructed without Israeli government approval.\n\nThe Israeli anti-settlement organisation Peace Now reports that the plan involves legalising 12 existing outposts, constructing nine new settlements, and designating a neighbourhood within an existing settlement as an independent settlement.\n\nIsraeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the new settlement initiative \"reinforces our sovereignty over Judea and Samaria,\" using Israel's biblical reference for the West Bank. \n\nHe described the decision as a strategic measure to \"solidify our historical rights\" and as a \"firm response to Palestinian terrorism.\" \n\nGallant further claimed that settlement expansion helps block the formation of a Palestinian state, which he said would pose a security threat to Israel.\n\nPeace Now criticised the move as the most sweeping since the 1993 Oslo Accords, which had laid the groundwork for a now-stalled peace process. \n\nThe group warned that the decision would reshape the landscape of the West Bank and deepen the Israeli occupation.\n\nThe West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem - territories seized by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War - are central to Palestinian aspirations for statehood. \n\nApproximately three million Palestinians live in the West Bank, under a system of Israeli military control and limited Palestinian Authority governance. \n\nPeace Now accused the Israeli government of abandoning any pretence of pursuing a two-state solution. \n\n\"The government is making clear - again and without restraint - that it prefers deepening the occupation and advancing de facto annexation over pursuing peace,\" the group stated.\n\nThe West Bank currently hosts over 500,000 Israeli settlers living in more than 100 settlements, ranging from modest outposts to large towns with modern infrastructure.\n\nMost of the international community view Israeli settlements there as illegal and an obstacle to resolving the decades-old conflict.\n\nDespite this, Israel has accelerated settlement construction in recent years and has, since the outbreak of war in Gaza, escalated house demolitions and land seizures in the territory, forcing many Palestinians families to evacuate.\n\nExpansion has steadily limited Palestinian mobility and access to land, making the viability of a future Palestinian state increasingly unlikely.\n\nUnder President Donald Trump, US policy shifted sharply in support of Israeli claims over occupied territories, including steps to legitimise settlements. \n\nAlthough President Joe Biden had voiced opposition to settlement growth, his administration refrained from applying significant pressure on Israel to stop the practice.\n\nThe top United Nations court ruled last year that Israel's presence in the occupied Palestinian territories is unlawful and called on it to end, and for settlement construction to stop immediately.\n\nIsrael denounced the non-binding opinion by a 15-judge panel of the International Court of Justice, saying the territories are part of the historic homeland of the Jewish people.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Israel says it plans to build 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, a move that

settlers have been accused of attacking Hamdan Ballal, one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, in the occupied West Bank.\n\nAccording to his fellow directors and other witnesses he was beaten before being arrested by the Israeli military on Monday.\n\nBallal, along with two other Palestinians, was detained in the village of Susiya, according to lawyer Lea Tsemel, who is representing the group. Police told her the detainees were being held at a military base for medical treatment, but she hadn\u2019t been able to get in touch with them by Tuesday morning and had no further information on their whereabouts.\n\nBasel Adra, another co-director of the documentary, was present at the scene. He explained that a group of about 20 settlers \u2013 some masked, some armed, and others in Israeli uniforms \u2013 attacked the village. When soldiers arrived, they aimed their guns at the Palestinians while the settlers continued throwing stones.\n\n\u201cWe came back from the Oscars and every day since there is an attack on us,\u201d Adra said. \u201cThis might be their revenge on us for making the movie. It feels like a punishment.\u201d\n\nThe Israeli military later stated it had detained three Palestinians, accusing them of throwing rocks at forces, along with one Israeli civilian involved in a \u201cviolent confrontation\u201d \u2013 a claim witnesses interviewed by the Associated Press disputed. The military said the detainees were transferred to Israeli police for questioning, and an Israeli citizen was evacuated for medical treatment.\n\nNo Other Land, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary earlier this year, tells the story of Palestinian residents in the Masafer Yatta area fighting to prevent the Israeli military from demolishing their villages. Ballal and Adra, both from Masafer Yatta, made the film with Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.\n\nThe film has been met with both critical acclaim and backlash. It won a slew of awards starting at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024 but has faced strong opposition in Israel and beyond, including controversy in Miami Beach, where there were proposals to end the lease of a movie theatre that showed the documentary.\n\nAdra described how the attack began shortly after villagers broke their fast for Ramadan. A settler, known to frequently harass the village, arrived at Ballal\u2019s house with the military, and soldiers fired into the air. Ballal\u2019s wife then heard her husband being beaten outside and screaming, \u201cI\u2019m dying.\u201d The director was later handcuffed, blindfolded, and led to a military vehicle, leaving blood on the ground outside his home.\n\nAn anonymous eyewitness corroborated much of Adra\u2019s account, confirming the violent nature of the attack.\n\nIn addition to the assault on Ballal, 10-20 masked settlers with sticks and stones also targeted activists from the Centre for Jewish Nonviolence, smashing car windows and slashing tires to force them to flee. Activist Josh Kimelman described the attack to the Associated Press, with video footage from the Centre for Jewish Nonviolence showing a masked settler pushing and throwing fists at two activists in a dusty field at night. The activists quickly ran back to their car, with rocks heard striking the vehicle.\n\nThe West Bank, captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War, is home to over 500,000 settlers living in more than 100 settlements, while around 3 million Palestinians live under Israeli military rule.\u00a0\n\nIn the 1980s, the Israeli military designated Masafer Yatta in the southern West Bank as a live-fire training zone and ordered the expulsion of its residents, mostly Arab Bedouin. While around 1,000 people have largely stayed, soldiers frequently demolish homes, tents, water tanks, and olive orchards, with Palestinians fearing that full expulsion could happen at any moment.\n\nDuring the war in Gaza, Israel has killed hundreds of Palestinians in the West Bank through large-scale military operations, while settler attacks on Palestinians have also increased. There has also been a rise in attacks by Palestinians against Israelis.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Israeli settlers have been accused of attacking Hamdan Ballal, one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning documentary <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//02//26//berlinale-film-festival-marred-by-antisemitic-protests/">No Other Land<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, in the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n<p>According to his fellow directors and other witnesses he was beaten before being arrested by the Israeli military on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Ballal, along with two other Palestinians, was detained in the village of Susiya, according to lawyer Lea Tsemel, who is representing the group.

The activists quickly ran back to their car, with rocks heard striking the vehicle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6669921875\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//10//83//26//808x539_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg/" alt=\"Salem Adra, brother of activist Basel Adra, talks with a local Palestinian shepherd as they stand near an Israeli settlers' outpost at the West Bank village of Tuwani, \" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/384x256_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/640x427_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/750x500_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/828x552_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/1080x720_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/1200x800_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/10\/83\/26\/1920x1281_cmsv2_cfcbae92-f58f-5fdc-ab26-9195737fdb15-9108326.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">Salem Adra, brother of activist Basel Adra, talks with a local Palestinian shepherd as they stand near an Israeli settlers' outpost at the West Bank village of Tuwani, <\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">Leo Correa\/Copyright 2025 The AP.

Defence Forces (IDF) have withdrawn from the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank following ten days of a large-scale military raid, according to Palestinian media. \n\nThe operation, which Israeli military officials said targeted militants in Jenin, Tulkarem and the Al-Faraa refugee camp, is said to be the largest Israeli operation in the West Bank since the war between Israel and Hamas began. \n\nThe government-run Palestine News Agency, citing the Palestinian Health Ministry, said that 21 Palestinians had been killed as a result of the assault which also caused extensive damage to the city of Jenin. \n\nThe IDF, posting on X yesterday, said it had conducted a counterterrorism operation overnight in the West Bank killing Muhammad Zakaria Zubeidi who is the son of prominent jailed militant Zakaria Zubeidi, the Jenin chief of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a coalition of Palestinian armed groups in the West Bank. \n\nIDF officials say that the operation, which began on 28 August, is necessary to curb recent attacks against Israeli civilians in the area. \n\nJenin, originally a refugee camp built to house Palestinians who fled their homes during the war following the creation of Israel in 1948, has seen its water and electricity services cut as a result of the raid. \n\nUN calls humanitarian situation in Gaza \u2018beyond catastrophic\u2019\n\nThe United Nations says the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains \u201cbeyond catastrophic,\u201d with over one million Palestinians not receiving any food rations in August.\n\nUN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the UN\u2019s humanitarian partners lacked sufficient food supplies to meet requirements for the second straight month in central and southern Gaza, \u201cand will only be able to provide one food parcel to families in central and southern Gaza during the September distribution cycle.\u201d\n\nDujarric said critical shortages of food aid can be explained due to ongoing hostilities, insecurity, damaged roads, the breakdown of law and order, and access limitations.\n\nIn the West Bank, he said, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs known as OCHA reports that \u201cIsraeli forces continue to utilise lethal war-like tactics, including airstrikes, in Jenin, Tubas and Tulkarm.\u201d\n\nDujarric added this has resulted in additional fatalities and injuries on Thursday, and destruction or damage to more roads and infrastructure.\n\n\u201cMedical facilities have been virtually besieged for over a week now, with heavy restrictions imposed on the movement of ambulances and medical staff,\u201d Dujarric warned.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have withdrawn from the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank following ten days of a large-scale military
