For the past week, an international outcry has been building, particularly in Europe, over Israel's plans to escalate its military campaign in Gaza and over its two-month-long blockade, which has put Gaza's population on the brink of starvation.On Wednesday in Washington D.C., two Israeli Embassy staffers were shot and killed by a man who chanted “Free Palestine” afterward.Aaron Boxerman, who covers Israel and Gaza for The Times, explains the desperate situation in Gaza … and Israel's fears that the world has become an increasingly dangerous place for its people.Guest: Aaron Boxerman, a reporter for The New York Times covering Israel and Gaza.Background reading: Britain, France and Canada have condemned Israel's expansion into Gaza.Israel said it eased its blockade, but Gazans are still waiting for food.Here's what we know about the deadly shooting outside the Jewish Museum in D.C.For more information on today's episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

At this very moment, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who have managed to survive Israel's scorched-earth siege and bombing are being deliberately starved to death as a result of Israel's 11-week blockade preventing food and aid from entering Gaza. As Jem Bartholemew writes at The Guardian, “The UN's humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC [Tuesday] morning that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid did not reach them in time. Five aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday but Fletcher described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population's needs.” In response to this dire humanitarian crisis, students at multiple university campuses in the US have launched hunger strikes in solidarity with the starving people of Gaza. In this urgent episode, we speak with four hunger strikers at the University of Oregon (UO), including: Cole, Sadie, and Efron, three undergraduate students who are all members of Jewish Voice for Peace - UO and who just completed a 60-hour solidarity hunger strike; and Phia, a Palestinian-American undergraduate student who has organized with JVP-UO on the hunger strike and who currently remains on hunger strike herself.Additional links/info:UO Gaza Hunger Strike Instagram and TikTokUO Gaza Hunger Strike: Community Calls to Action!Press Release: University of Oregon Students, Faculty, and Staff Launch “UO Gaza Hunger Strike” Campaign Protesting Mass Starvation and GenocideJewish Voice for Peace - UO InstagramNathan Wilk, KLCC, “University of Oregon protesters begin hunger strike for Gaza”Michael Arria, Mondoweiss, “Students across the U.S. are going on hunger strike as Israeli-engineered famine takes hold in Gaza”Syma Mohammed, Middle East Eye, “US: UCLA student hospitalised during hunger strike for Gaza”Jem Bartholemew, The Guardian, “First Thing: UN says 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours under Israeli aid blockade”Ronen Bergman & Natan Odenheimer, The New York Times, “In private, some Israeli officers admit that Gaza is on the brink of starvation”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘The raids happened Wednesday, finals started Thursday': FBI agents raid homes of pro-Palestine students at University of Michigan”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘A tremendous chilling effect': Columbia students describe dystopian reality on campus amid Trump attacks”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “‘People are hiding in their apartments': Inside Trump's assault on universities” Maximillian Alvarez, The Real News Network, “‘Worse' than McCarthyism: Trump's war on higher education, free speech, and political dissent”Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Israel is under international pressure to allow aid into Gaza.

Elf Wochen lang blockierte Israel Hilfslieferungen nach Gaza. Für vier Tage sind sie nun erlaubt – mit je 100 LKW. "Eine Frechheit gegenüber der Not, die im Gazastreifen herrscht", sagt Karl-Otto Zentel, CARE Deutschland. Die UN habe 9000 LKW bereitstehen. Von WDR 5.

Israel eases the blockade in Gaza whilst simultaneously renewing it's military offensive and the UK and EU meet for a post-Brexit reset.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die israelische Regierung will nach fast dreimonatiger Blockade wieder humanitäre Hilfe in den Gazastreifen lassen. Eine Grundversorgung an Lebensmitteln solle sicherstellen, dass es zu keiner Hungersnot kommt. │ Vor dem Telefonat von US-Präsident Trump und Kremlchef Putin drohen die Verbündeten der Ukraine Russland mit neuen Sanktionen.

This week on CounterSpin: As part of its deadly denial of food, water, and medicine to Palestinian people, Israel attacked a civilian aid ship endeavoring to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, setting it on fire, injuring crew members, cutting off communications. The ship was called the Conscience. Millions around the world ask every day what it will take to awaken the conscience of leaders to stop the genocide of Palestinians, instead of trying to silence the outcry. Corporate media are complicit, with please-don't-think-about-it headlines like NBC News‘ “Aid Groups Describe Dire Conditions in Gaza as Israel Says There Is No Shortage of Aid.” We talk about attacks on aid delivery and media's role with Mara Kronenfeld, executive director at UNRWA USA (UNRWA being the UN Relief & Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, UNRWA USA being the partner group amplifying and grounding that work). Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at press coverage of Gaza's starvation and the MOVE bombing.   The post Mara Kronenfeld on Israel's Aid Blockade appeared first on KPFA.

WHY TRUMP'S MIDDLE EAST TRIP TURNED INTO A TOTAL FIASCO! THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS THIS WAS A CASE OF A CLOWN MEETING THE CROWN. Just one of Trump's "deals" in the Middle East could result in American Companies building Chip and Artificial Intelligence factories in the MIDDLE EAST. NOT IN AMERICA. What happened to "America First?" WHY AREN'T THOSE FACTORIES BEING BUILT HERE! Trump is crippling Americans with higher Tariff-Taxes while he is helping Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries take our technology and future HIGH-TECH JOBS. This podcast episode of Political Woman is more about Money. It is also about Human Rights in the Middle East, and the War in Ukraine. Trump did nothing to resolve the Blockade of Gaza or to work with our Allies to end the War.  Please subscribe.

An diesem Sonntag finden in Polen die Präsidentschaftswahlen statt. Und wie so oft in Polen, wird auch diese Wahl als "Schicksalswahl” bezeichnet. Hat die Wahl wirklich so eine Dimension? Und warum hat der PiS-nahe Amtsinhaber Duda die polnische Politik zum großen Teil lahm legen können? Ein Gespräch mit Martin Adam, ARD-Korrespondent in Polen. Der türkische Präsident Erdogan etabliert sich als Vermittler im Ukraine-Krieg. Wie ist er zu dieser Rolle gekommen? Und hilft ihm die internationale Profilierung dabei, die Proteste im Land abzuschwächen? Antworten von Dawid Bartelt, Leiter des Istanbuler Büros der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung. Außerdem kommentiert BR-Politikredakteur Clemens Verenkotte die Reise von US-Präsident Donald Trump in die Golf-Staaten und Joseph Röhmel berichtet über einen Prozess, der in der kommenden Woche am Oberlandesgericht in München beginnt. Dieser wird international beachtet. Es geht um den Völkermord an der Volksgruppe der Jesiden.

Seit Wochen blockiert Israel Hilfslieferungen in den Gazastreifen. Das Welternährungsprogramm hat nach eigenen Angaben seine Lebensmittelvorräte in dem Palästinensergebiet aufgebraucht. Die Verteilung von Lebensmitteln wurde weitgehend eingestellt. In Gaza droht eine Hungerkatastrophe – und die internationale Kritik an Israel wächst. In der aktuellen Folge von »Acht Milliarden« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit der SPIEGEL-Reporterin Juliane von Mittelstaedt. »Für die aktuelle Situation ist die israelische Regierung verantwortlich, allem voran die beiden rechtsextremen und rassistischen Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir und Bezalel Smotrich. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israels Ministerpräsident, ist auf die beiden angewiesen, da er sonst keine Regierungsmehrheit hätte. Und es sind diese beiden, die schon lange den Traum hegen, alle Palästinenser aus Israel zu vertreiben«, so von Mittelstaedt. Vor diesem Hintergrund müsse man die Blockade des Gazastreifens und die sich anbahnende humanitäre Katastrophe sehen.+++ Alle Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern finden Sie hier.

The Cuban people have been through so much over the last 60 plus years with intense periods of hardship, especially over the last decade. The bulk of this hardship, I suspect, is due to the Blockade. But there is a disturbing trend developing at least as far back as the Obama administration, that elements of the Cuban society are succumbing to American pressure and are serving roles willingly or not against the very principles of the Revolution. If that is the case, how does the resistance in the streets react to the reality of the enemy within so to speak? And has the Revolutionary fight weakened with the death of the legendary Fidel Castro? That concept will be the subscript to the discussion in a special episode of this program.

In this electric episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a tidal wave of political, economic, and cultural firestorms. Leading the charge is Trump's controversial refugee policy shift, granting sanctuary to persecuted white South African farmers. The hosts dive into the MSM and NGO meltdowns over the decision, with Al Sharpton and Episcopal charities losing their minds over the idea of refugee status being extended to anyone who isn't part of the globalist agenda. Next up: the weekend's chaos at a New Jersey ICE facility, where leftist clergy and NGO activists formed a human blockade, allegedly preventing emergency vehicles from entering. Ashe and CannCon expose the hypocrisy of selective enforcement and draw scathing comparisons to J6 prosecutions. The show also breaks down the staggering April spike in U.S. customs revenue, $16.3 billion, proving Trump's tariff policies are working. They then dissect the debut of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” with wins like work requirements for Medicaid, tax-free tips, and MAGA savings accounts for kids, but warn it lacks meaningful spending cuts. Senator Ron Johnson's critique becomes a jumping-off point for a broader discussion on runaway federal debt, the failure of Congress, and Mike Johnson's disappointing leadership. With a mix of legal insight, biting sarcasm, and offbeat humor, including commentary on zombie shows, AI security concerns over Qatar's luxury jet gift, and Justice Sotomayor's outrageous ABA comments, this episode is a full-spectrum takedown of regime narratives and a celebration of the political awakening in real time.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on a new report on hunger in Gaza.

Israel will weite Teile des Gazastreifens erobern und langfristig kontrollieren. Das Kabinett von Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanyahu hat die Operation “Gideons Streitwagen” beschlossen. Die Hamas und ihre Tunnelnetzwerke sollen vollständig zerstört werden. So der Plan, sollte es zu keinem Waffenstillstand und zur Freigabe aller verbliebenen israelischen Geiseln kommen. Experten der Vereinten Nationen warnen vor einer drohenden Vernichtung der palästinensischen Bevölkerung und fordern dringende Maßnahmen, um eine humanitäre Katastrophe abzuwenden. Die Situation der Menschen im Gazastreifen ist ohnehin jetzt schon katastrophal. Nun könnte der Krieg in Gaza bald enden, nur wie groß werden die Opfer dann sein? Wir sprechen mit dem israelischen Journalisten Alon David, der Publizistin Khola Hübsch und dem Islamwissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Simon Wolfgang Fuchs. Podcast-Tipp: Weltspiegel-Podcast Kinder im Gaza-Krieg: Was tun gegen Hunger und Trauma? Die humanitäre Lage im Gazastreifen ist katastrophal, vor allem, seitdem Israel die Hilfslieferungen blockiert. Wir schauen in dieser Podcastfolge auf die Kinder in Gaza. Die Bilder von abgemagerten Körpern sind schwer zu ertragen. Seit Anfang März lässt Israel keine Hilfsgüter mehr nach Gaza - die bisher längste Blockade. Die Vorräte sind fast aufgebraucht. Wie helfen sich die Menschen, wie ernähren Eltern ihre Kinder, wenn es eigentlich nichts mehr gibt? Davon berichtet Hanna Resch aus dem ARD Studio Tel Aviv. Sie ordnet auch ein, was Israels Ankündigung, den Gazastreifen (wieder) dauerhaft zu besetzen, bedeutet. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/weltspiegel-podcast/kinder-im-gaza-krieg-was-tun-gegen-hunger-und-trauma/ard/14543763/

Die humanitäre Lage im Gazastreifen ist katastrophal, vor allem, seitdem Israel die Hilfslieferungen blockiert. Wir schauen in dieser Podcastfolge auf die Kinder in Gaza. Die Bilder von abgemagerten Körpern sind schwer zu ertragen. „Wir lassen die Kinder in Gaza aushungern vor unseren Augen“, sagte kürzlich ein Sprecher der WHO. Seit Anfang März lässt Israel keine Hilfsgüter mehr nach Gaza – die bisher längste Blockade. Die Vorräte sind fast aufgebraucht. Wie helfen sich die Menschen, wie ernähren Eltern ihre Kinder, wenn es eigentlich nichts mehr gibt? Davon berichtet Hanna Resch aus dem ARD Studio Tel Aviv. Sie ordnet auch ein, was Israels Ankündigung, den Gazastreifen (wieder) dauerhaft zu besetzen, bedeutet. Neben den körperlichen Folgen sind die seelischen Schäden dramatisch. „Ich habe Zweijährige betreut, die sich die Haare ausgerissen haben vor Stress und Panik. Andere machen die Augen gar nicht mehr auf“, sagt Kinderpsychologin Katrin Glatz Brubakk im Weltspiegel Podcast. Sie ist regelmäßig im Gazastreifen und hilft den stark traumatisierten Kindern. Die ständige Angst zu sterben oder Angehörige und Freunde zu verlieren, wirke sich stark auf ihre Entwicklung aus. Im Gespräch erzählt sie, was ihr Hoffnung macht in einer fast aussichtslosen Situation und warum sie nie ohne Seifenblasen in den Gazastreifen reist. ----- Moderation: Joana Jäschke Redaktion: Steffi Fetz Mitarbeit: Caroline Mennerich, Anna Stosch Redaktionsschluss: 9.5.2025 ----- Alle Folgen des Weltspiegel Podcasts findet ihr hier: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/weltspiegel-podcast/61593768/ ----- Unser Podcast Tipp für diese Woche: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/das-wahre-leben-der-nachtcaf-podcast/73934942/

Louise Wateridge, Senior Emergency Officer for UNWRA for Gaza, discusses the depletion of food stocks in Gaza.

The United Nations is again calling for the urgent delivery of medical, fuel, and food supplies into Gaza, saying the blockade is taking a toll on innocent civilians. The message comes as U-S President Donald Trump says he will do all he can to free an American-Israeli hostage being held by Hamas.
