Israel faces growing international isolation over the shocking images of starvation in Gaza. Although Israel says there are no restrictions on aid deliveries – which it co-ordinates – or any starvation, charities warn the aid being allowed in is only a fraction of what is needed. The BBC is banned by Israel from reporting in Gaza but, in our conversations, doctors and journalists in the territory tell us how shortages of food, water and medical supplies are affecting them and their families. “We are not the same, this is not our shape, this is not our appearance,” Ghada, a journalist working in Gaza City tell us. We also hear from a medical student who shares her experiences of a typical day in Gaza and her hopes for the future. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from BBC OS Conversations, bringing together people from around the world to discuss how major news stories are affecting their lives.

Matt and Daniel are joined on a livestream by journalist Jasper Nathaniel to raise money for the Gaza City Flour Fund. They discussed Tommy Vietor's effort to Pod Save Reputation, other objects Cory Booker could hide behind at politically disadvantageous photo ops, and whether Columbia University's outside counsel needs to renew their Adobe Creative Cloud font license.Thank you to everyone who donated live!Donate to the Gaza City Flour Fund: http://bit.ly/gazaflourfundStandup Comedy October 13 with Matt Lieb, Francesca Fiorentini and Daniel Maté: https://www.ticketmaster.com/francesca-fiorentini-and-matt-lieb-brooklyn-new-york-10-13-2025/event/300062E2C3694548See Francesca Fiorentini and Matt Lieb!August 1 in Seattle, WA: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/comedians-francesca-fiorentini-and-matt-lieb-tickets-1354093864199August 28 in Houston, TX: https://bit.ly/mattfranhtxSubscribe to the Patreon https://www.patreon.com/badhasbaraWhat's The Spin playlist: https://spoti.fi/4kjO9tLSubscribe/listen to Bad Hasbara wherever you get your podcasts.Spotify https://spoti.fi/3HgpxDmApple Podcasts https://apple.co/4kizajtSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bad-hasbara/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is the third podcast this week focusing on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. We will be dropping a fourth tomorrow - and interview with the amazing Andrew Fox. And then might catch our breath for a day or two. But as a senior Israeli foreign affairs official commented tonight during a television interview, Israel is dealing with a “diplomatic tsunami.” He has never seen anything like it. In decades. And the reason for this surge in international pressure? The humanitarian crisis in Gaza.There's no question that Israel has managed this crisis disastrously. But what Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib‒a native son of Gaza‒understands is that Hamas bears primary responsibility for this disaster. The terror group ruling the Strip has long used food as a control method over the population. And Hamas does not care. At all. About the welfare of its people. If it did they would have negotiated a ceasefire by now. Hamas cares about one thing. Staying in power. And to do that, they must keep the hostages captive… and control their own people mercilessly.Ahmed and I get into the complex reality on the ground that led to and perpetuates this crisis. There are no angels. But there are devils.Food, in the Gaza Strip, is power. And Hamas will fight to the bitter end to control access to food. No matter the toll it takes on Palestinian civilians.Another fascinating conversation with Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib. It's complicated.Show your support for STL at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Podcast Notes I have included links and texts here to three of Alkhatib's recent posts on X that are brilliant. Read them. They are enlightening and he is a very clear-eyed analyst. If an Israeli wrote these they'd be dismissed. But from Alkhatib, they carry weight and credibility. I think they are remarkable.Guest bioAhmed Fouad Alkhatib leads Realign For Palestine, a groundbreaking new project at the Atlantic Council. This project challenges entrenched narratives in the Israel-Palestine discourse and develops a new policy framework for rejuvenated pro-Palestine advocacy. Realign For Palestine aims to cultivate a new generation of Palestinian voices committed to a two-nation solution, nonviolence, and radical pragmatism.Alkhatib serves as a resident senior fellow with the Atlantic Council's Middle East Programs, where he writes extensively on Gaza's political and humanitarian affairs, is an outspoken critic of Hamas, and a promoter of a radically pragmatic approach to peace and Palestinian statehood as the only path forward between Palestinians and Israelis. His writing and opinions have been published and featured across the US, Israeli, and international press, and his views are prominently featured across social media platforms, with his accounts that have tens of thousands of engaged followers.Alkhatib holds a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's in intelligence and national security studies. He grew up in Gaza City and left Gaza in 2005 to attend college in the United States as an exchange student. Much of Ahmed's experience is influenced by having grown up in Gaza during the Oslo peace process, and the difficulties resulting from Oslo's failure, and the rise of Hamas and Islamism in Gaza.Following the deadly October 7 massacre, Alkhatib's life was deeply impacted when three different airstrikes killed 33 of his immediate and extended family members. Still, he has made a deliberate choice to be part of breaking the cycle of dehumanization and defying the cycle of hatred, incitement, violence, and revenge. In his presentations to students, policymakers, and thought leaders, Alkhatib exemplifies how others can exercise individual responsibility, spread empathy, and engage peacefully in the often-divisive Israel and Palestine discourse.State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Pada Minggu pagi, puluhan truk bantuan kemanusiaan melintas dari sisi Mesir ke perbatasan Rafah menuju Gaza, di kawalan pemeriksaan ketat sebelum dibawa ke pos Kerem Shalom untuk verifikasi keamanan. Israel telah menetapkan jeda militer taktis selama 10 jam per hari di tiga wilayah Gaza seperti Deir al‑Balah, Al‑Mawasi, dan Gaza City untuk distribusi oleh PBB dan organisasi kemanusiaan lain.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Israel carried out its first airdrop of humanitarian aid into Gaza early Sunday since the start of the ongoing war against Hamas, and pledged to halt fighting in certain parts of the Strip in 10-hour stints and create safe passages for the United Nations to distribute goods to the Palestinian population. We learn what has been airdropped so far, what's on the horizon and how much aid awaits distribution along the border. Fabian reports back on his trip late last week with the IDF to Gaza City. We learn that the troops are largely "fighting infrastructure" -- tunnels and booby-trapped buildings -- and that the Hamas battalion is largely defeated. Fabian wonders if this approach will indeed lead to the release of the Israeli hostages. Law enforcement on Saturday arrested a man suspected of carrying out a car-ramming attack in central Israel last week that wounded eight IDF soldiers. Police said the suspect, named earlier as Arkan Khaled, a 27-year-old Israeli resident of Taybeh, was caught while hiding at a construction site in the town of Kfar Yona close to the Beit Lid junction where the attack occurred. Israeli forces took over a pro-Palestinian activists' boat, Handala, that was attempting to break Israel’s maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip on Saturday night, and towed it toward the Ashdod Port. Handala is operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which also dispatched the previous boat and was carrying 19 activists and two Al Jazeera journalists.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's newest podcast series, Friday Focus. Each Friday, join diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan for a deep dive into what's behind the news that spins the globe. The vast majority of the Zionists in the world are Christian. Israel’s closest allies are majority-Christian or officially Christian countries, and the world’s largest Christian denominations have many of their holiest sites in Israel. At the same time, there’s no adviser for Christian Affairs in the Prime Minister’s Office, no minister tasked with outreach. On today's Friday Focus, we discuss three recent difficult incidents with the Christian world, which official Israel was diplomatically unprepared for. Berman discusses the need for a point person, an office or even a ministry in the Prime Minister's Office who will be tasked with liaising with the Christian world -- just like what is found in the governments of our Muslim neighbors. Friday Focus can be found on all podcast platforms. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves.

1)Does Settler Burning of Catholic Church in West Bank Signal Israeli Christians Under Attack?: In the past week, a 5th century Greek Orthodox Church of St. George was burned by Jewish settlers in Taybah, West Bank, and the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City was hit by IDF rockets or tank shells, killing three Christians.

Israel targets Syria's Sweida in new strike "Israel has launched a new air strike in southern Syria's Sweida city. The attack late on Thursday targeted the outskirts of the city. The strike came a day after the Syrian Interior Ministry confirmed a new ceasefire agreement in the city, which includes full reintegration of the southern province under central government authority. Israel has been targeting the capital, Damascus, as well as Sweida and Daraa. Meanwhile, the United States has said it opposed its ally Israel's strikes in Syria but did not take up the matter with Tel Aviv. " Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues "Israel has killed at least 94 Palestinians and wounded 367 others in besieged Gaza over the last 24 hours amid its ongoing genocide in the enclave. The death toll since Israel's resumption of the genocide on March 18 after a two-month truce has also climbed to 7,843, in addition to 27,933 others wounded. The majority of the victims are women and children. Meanwhile, Israel bombed the Catholic Holy Family Church in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood, the only Catholic church in Gaza, killing at least three people and wounding several others including the priest of the church. "Ukraine, US considering major drone deal" "President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are considering a deal that involves Washington buying battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kiev purchasing weapons from the US. Ukrainian drones have been able to strike targets as deep as 1,300 kilometers into Russian territory. Zelenskyy has said drones were the key tool that has allowed his country to fight with Russia's for more than three years." Slovenia bans Ben-Gvir, Smotrich over Gaza's 'unbearable situation' "Slovenia has become the first EU member state to formally declare two Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich as persona non grata, citing their role in what it called the ""unbearable situation"" in Gaza. Slovenia's move follows its June recognition of the State of Palestine. Meanwhile Belgium is mulling to impose sanctions against Israel if the humanitarian situation in Gaza does not improve." G20 finance chiefs meet under tariff cloud in South Africa "South Africa has urged G20 countries to provide global and cooperative leadership to tackle challenges, including rising trade barriers, as the bloc's finance chiefs met under the shadow of President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Host South Africa, under its presidency's motto ""Solidarity, Equality, Sustainability"", has aimed to promote a Pan-African agenda, with topics including the high cost of capital and funding for climate crisis action."

Pope Leo XIV has renewed his call for a Gaza ceasefire after three people sheltering in the Catholic church in Gaza City were killed in an Israeli strike.

//The Wire//2000Z July 17, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS CONTINUE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AMID RENEWED TARGETING IN GAZA AND WEST BANK. CONGRESS WEIGHS IMMIGRATION AMNESTY BILL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Gaza: The war continues as before amid Israeli forces conducting the high-profile targeting of a Christian Church. The Holy Family Church in Gaza City was struck with a tank shell overnight, which resulted in 3x parishioners being killed and many people inside being wounded, including the parish Priest Fr. Gabriel Romanelli.Analyst Comment: This attack comes after weeks of increased violence on Christian Churches in the West Bank, as Israeli settlers have conducted arson attacks on Churches throughout the region as recently as two days ago. This also comes two years after another high-profile Church bombing, in which the IDF targeted a site adjacent to the Church of St. Porphyrius a few days after the war began in October, 2023. That strike killed over a dozen people, and the Church was heavily damaged during the strike.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - In Congress, Rep. María Elvira Salazar introduced the "Dignity Act" on Tuesday, an immigration reform bill which seeks to grant amnesty to "long-term immigrants" via new work programs. Separately, in the Senate, Bill 225 has been introduced as the End Unaccountable Amnesty Act, which seeks to remove the ability for the DHS to grant immigrants Temporary Protected Status (TPS), as well as allow the deportation of unaccompanied minors that were dropped off at the border.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Washington, rumors are growing pertaining to the strikes in Iran a few weeks ago. In short, grumblings are beginning to emerge that indicate the airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were not as effective as first touted. Both American and Israeli media outlets have been trying to float this story for a few days, of course citing the usual "unnamed sources" that can't be verified in any way. Whether or not this information is true is largely immaterial when it comes to the potential for this whole affair to kick off again. Right now, there aren't many indicators suggesting the US is interested in escalating things again. However, with strong domestic dissent regarding the handling of issues such as the Epstein scandal, the motivation for diversionary actions is quite high. This consideration, while certainly out on a limb at the moment, is still worth remembering as there might not be much notice of impending escalations with any of the global conflicts currently on the table.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Israel bombs Syria, kills 3, wounds dozens "At least three people have been killed and 34 others wounded as Israel launched a wave of air strikes on the Syrian capital. Israel carried out strikes on the General Staff Complex and the Presidential Palace, known as Qasr al-Shaab, in Damascus. The Israeli army confirmed the air strikes and called the attack on the Presidential Palace a “warning strike.” Israeli fighter jets also staged several air strikes on the southwestern province of Daraa and Qatana city in the Damascus countryside." Israel kills scores in Gaza including aid-seeking Palestinians "Israel has killed at least 68 people in Gaza on Wednesday, including several starving Palestinians who suffocated from tear gas while waiting at US-backed, so-called aid sites in the hope of getting some food. The killings took place in Khan Younis, Nuseirat refugee camp, Gaza City, Jabalia, Deir al Balah and Netzarim Corridor." "Türkiye slams Israeli strikes on Damascus" Türkiye's Foreign Ministry has condemned recent Israeli air strikes targeting central Damascus, calling them a deliberate attempt to undermine Syria's efforts toward peace, stability, and security. The ministry said the latest attack by Israel on Damascus, following its previous military interventions in southern Syria, constitutes an act of sabotage against Syria's attempts to restore peace and order. Ankara warned that such actions threaten to derail a rare opportunity for the war-torn country to move toward normalisation." Illegal Israeli settlers seize control of historic Ibrahimi Mosque "Israeli authorities have stripped the Palestinian-run Hebron municipality of administrative powers over the Ibrahimi Mosque and transferred them to a council of illegal Jewish settlers. Located in the Old City of Hebron, which is under Israeli occupation, the Ibrahimi Mosque is surrounded by approximately 400 illegal Israeli settlers protected by about 1,500 Israeli soldiers. The mosque complex is believed by Abrahamic religions to hold the remains of Prophet Abraham and his family." Türkiye's Fidan denounces Israel's genocide in Gaza " Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has condemned Israel's genocide in Gaza in strong terms during an address to the United Nations Security Council, saying the war has turned the Palestinian enclave into a ""concentration camp"" and accused Israel of systematically targeting civilians. Fidan said over 2 million people are enduring unspeakable suffering in Gaza. He also cited Israel's forced mass displacement, widespread destruction, and the deliberate blocking of humanitarian aid in the besieged enclave."

Israel's bloodbath in Gaza continues amid raids in occupied West Bank "Israel has killed over 50 Palestinians across besieged Gaza on Tuesday. The attacks took place in Rafah, Gaza City, Jabalia and Khan Younis. In occupied West Bank Israeli forces abducted at least 35 Palestinians, including children and former prisoners, in a series of overnight raids. The arrests took place in the cities of Nablus, Salfit, Qalqilya, Jenin, Tulkarem, Alkhalil, and Bethlehem, according to a joint statement from the Commission of Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner Society," "UN Rapporteur urges global action against Israel to stop Gaza genocide " "The United Nations' special rapporteur for besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank has said that it's time for nations around the world to take concrete actions to stop the ""genocide"" in the blockaded enclave. Francesca Albanese spoke to delegates from 30 countries meeting in Colombia to discuss the Israeli genocide in Gaza and ways that nations can try to stop Israel's carnage. Albanese said the Israeli economy is structured to sustain the occupation that has now turned genocidal." "US court blocks move to end protected status for Afghans " "A US federal appeals court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for thousands of Afghan nationals living in the country. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency stay on the termination order on Monday, which was set to take effect July 15. More than 82,000 Afghans were evacuated to the US following the Taliban's takeover in 2021 after the US' chaotic withdrawal. " US launches probe into Brazil's trade practices "The United States has launched an investigation into Brazil's trade practices, escalating tensions between the two countries and potentially laying the groundwork for punitive tariffs on South America's largest economy. The probe, announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative will assess whether Brazil's policies are ""unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict US commerce.""" July 15 defeated coup attempt a ‘critical turning point' in Türkiye's history: Erdogan " Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the defeated July 15 coup attempt in 2016 marked one of the most critical turning points in Türkiye's history, Speaking at the commemoration ceremony for July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day at parliament in Ankara Erdogan said the coup attempt was a tough test that the state and the nation overcame with pride. Erdogan expressed gratitude to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, the veterans who defended the nation, the citizens who filled the streets to resist the coup attempt, and the millions abroad who supported Türkiye during that critical night."

Dice Netanyahu che dopo la tregua si tornerà ad “assediare Gaza”. Non è una minaccia. È un piano: dividere la popolazione, spingerla a sud, trasformare il nord della Striscia in un campo di battaglia, il sud in un recinto. Ieri l'ennesimo ordine: evacuare immediatamente Gaza City e Jabalia. Un ultimatum lanciato a chi non ha più nulla da evacuare, se non il proprio corpo esausto, se ancora in vita. Nel frattempo, le bombe piovono sui campi profughi. A Shati cinque morti, nel quartiere Remal sei uccisi sotto le tende degli sfollati. Secondo il ministero della Sanità locale, oltre 58 mila le vittime palestinesi da ottobre 2023, più della metà donne e bambini. La cifra viene contestata da Israele, ma è difficile controbattere le immagini dei cadaveri di bambini in fila per l'acqua. L'Egitto parla apertamente di “oltre cento morti al giorno solo per cercare gli aiuti”. L'Europa si mostra “preoccupata”, ma a Gaza continuano a mancare carburante, medicine, cibo. E pace. L'evacuazione forzata e la distruzione sistematica delle infrastrutture civili configurano un intento genocidario sotto gli occhi del mondo. L'Onu parla di "crimini", le chiese cristiane denunciano attacchi dei coloni a Taybeh, una fondazione belga chiede l'arresto di un soldato israeliano. Netanyahu, invece, promette la prosecuzione del conflitto come se fosse un diritto sovrano. Trump riduce Gaza a una trattativa immobiliare: “una soluzione nella prossima settimana”. Le bombe, intanto, non si fermano. Tra le vittime di ieri anche il fratello di un medico palestinese che lavora in Italia: era andato a cercare cibo. Gaza muore e il mondo prende appunti.

Nella mattinata di lunedì 14 luglio, in Degiornalist - Gli Spaccanotizie, è stato ospite Gianfrancesco Cutelli, il fondatore dell'iniziativa "Un Gelato per la Pace". Si tratta di un progetto di raccolta fondi a favore di Medici Senza Frontiere per sostenere le vittime civili a Gaza. L'iniziativa, già attuata in passato per l'Ucraina, prevede che il 19 luglio numerose gelaterie in Italia e all'estero offrano gelato o granita all'anguria a chi farà una donazione libera. «È un'iniziativa che coinvolge tantissime gelaterie, non solo in Italia, anche all'estero. Ora siamo a più di 150», ci spiega GianFrancesco. Cutelli, maestro gelatiere di grande successo ha infatti sottolineato l'importanza di iniziative private per contrastare l'assuefazione alle notizie drammatiche e per sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica sulla crisi a Gaza: «Pensate che nella clinica di Gaza City, questi ovviamente sono dati di Medici Senza Frontiere, ci sono 400 pazienti al giorno, fra cui sempre più bambini. C'è veramente bisogno di tutto e quindi anche ogni singola iniziativa privata a sostegno di Medici Senza Frontiere diventa veramente importantissima». Sul sito web ungelatoperlapace.it è possibile trovare una mappa con tutte le gelaterie aderenti già localizzate.

People in Lynn Lake, Manitoba are forced to leave their town because of an out-of-control wildfire -- just two weeks after they were allowed to return after fleeing another out-of-control wildfire.Our guest tells us what the passage of Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" -- with its deep cuts to Medicaid -- is likely to mean for millions of Americans with disabilities, including him. A Palestinian student was accepted to a Canadian university master's program, on scholarship -- but she can't leave Gaza City until Ottawa comes through with her student visa. And she's hardly the only one. A community in Newfoundland and Labrador got some good news this week: for the first time in decades, part of the town now has clean water coming out of their faucets.

Israel has carried out waves of airstrikes and artillery fire in Gaza, reportedly killing at least 60 people, some of them while queuing for aid. Medical officials say about 20 people were killed in an airstrike on a beachfront site in Gaza City. One eyewitness said women and children were present when a warplane fired. What is the strategy of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when it comes to the war in Gaza? Also in the programme: We get a rare glimpse of life in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, under Russian occupation for three years; and we hear from a Norwegian lottery winner who was a millionaire for 15 minutes.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Friday night, throngs of rioting Israeli settlers attacked IDF soldiers at the Palestinian village of Kafr Malik near Ramallah, after the forces arrived there to prevent them from rampaging in the village. Six Israelis were arrested following the violence. According to Hebrew media reports, the Israeli assailants beat, choked and hurled rocks at the troops. Later, on Saturday, a police outpost was vandalized by settlers in what authorities said was an apparent act of revenge for the arrest of the six suspects accused in the nighttime attack. Fabian explains the rollout of the events. This morning, UN nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi told CBS news that Iran likely will be able to begin to produce enriched uranium “in a matter of months,” despite damage to several nuclear facilities from US and Israeli attacks. But this is in contrast to what IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has reportedly told colleagues that Iran is no longer a nuclear threshold state following the Israeli and US strikes on its nuclear program. Fabian relays the army's assessment of the 12-day war and discusses whether the ceasefire will be similar to the November 27, 2024, ceasefire with Hezbollah. This morning, the IDF re-issued a wide evacuation warning for Palestinians in the Gaza City and Jabalia areas in the northern Gaza Strip. This comes as Zamir said Friday that the military’s latest offensive in Gaza will soon “reach the lines” defined by the government, which would see the military assert control over 75% of the territory. We hear what is happening on the ground in Gaza. Finally, one of the founders of Hamas, who was also one of the planners of its onslaught of October 7, 2023, was killed in an airstrike in Gaza City on Friday night. We learn about Hakem al-Issa, who served as chief of staff at the “combat and administrative support division” in the Palestinian terror group’s military wing.

Dans la bande de Gaza, accéder à la nourriture et à l'aide humanitaire reste une mission quasi impossible. Les distributions d'aide alimentaire, gérées par la Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, une ONG pilotée par Israël et les États-Unis, virent à la tuerie presque quotidienne. Quelques camions d'aide humanitaire sont entrés cette semaine dans l'enclave, mais incapable d'enrayer la menace de famine généralisée qui pèse sur les deux millions de Gazaouis. Depuis le début de l'année, chaque jour, 112 enfants sont admis à l'hôpital pour malnutrition. Une situation dramatique renforcée par une pénurie criante de lait infantile. De nos correspondants à Gaza et à Jérusalem, Derrière la voix du docteur Ahmad Al Farra qui dirige le service pédiatrie et maternité de l'hôpital Nasser de Khan Younès, les images de bébés prématurés en souffrance dans leur incubateur se succèdent. Dans une vidéo sur les réseaux sociaux, le pédiatre a tiré la sonnette d'alarme la semaine dernière sur une situation devenue critique pour ces nouveaux nés, particulièrement à risque.« Comme vous pouvez le voir là, nous avons un bébé prématuré qui dépend complètement intégralement sur une formule de lait artificielle pour les prématurés dont la quantité disponible dans l'hôpital Nasser est proche de zéro. » Et sans entrée rapide et massive de l'aide humanitaire, les conséquences pour ces enfants prématurés sont dramatiques.« Il subira un arrêt de son métabolisme, un déséquilibre électrolytique, il sera dans un état grave, cela peut potentiellement menacer sa vie. » Particulièrement tragique pour les bébés prématurés hospitalisés, cette pénurie frappe toute l'enclave où survit un million d'enfants Sous une tente à Gaza City, Thareefa Bassal 32 ans, essaie de calmer sa fille Qasar, un an. « Il y a une semaine, j'ai réussi à lui trouver du lait en poudre pour 23 euros. Mais maintenant, c'est terminé, je ne peux plus me le permettre. » À lire aussiBande de Gaza: l'enfer de 1,1 million d'enfants pris au piège entre guerre et malnutrition Rien ne compense le manque de lait Incapable de s'offrir du lait comme tant d'autres, Thareefa cherche tant bien que mal des solutions. « J'essaie de remplacer cela avec des suppléments alimentaires, mais ce n'est pas suffisant. Je pense aussi à acheter plus de conserves de fruits ou de légumes fondus. Mais rien de tout cela ne compense le manque de lait. Ses os sont en train de se former, ils ont besoin de lait en poudre, elle a besoin du calcium et de tout ça. » Et l'absence de nutriment adapté se fait sentir sur la santé de Qasar : « Elle a maintenant un an et il est temps pour elle de commencer à marcher et à faire ses dents. Mais je ne sais absolument plus quoi faire pour l'aider à se nourrir correctement. Pendant 14 ans, je n'ai pas réussi à tomber enceinte et maintenant qu'elle est née, je ne peux pas lui assurer certaines choses essentielles. Certains documents à l'hôpital indiquaient qu'elle souffrait de malnutrition sévère, sa température est élevée et elle tousse énormément. Elle est très malade. » En mai, selon l'Unicef, plus de 5 000 enfants entre six mois et cinq ans ont été admis à l'hôpital pour malnutrition aiguë.

Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire "US President Donald Trump declared that Israel and Iran had agreed to a phased ceasefire starting Tuesday at 0400 GMT, aiming to end nearly two weeks of fierce hostilities. Trump hailed the deal as the end of “The 12 Day War.” However, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denied a formal truce, insisting Tehran would halt retaliation only if Israel ceased attacks. Trump's ceasefire announcement came after Iran had threatened and launched missile attacks on the largest US military base in Qatar. According to Iranian media, the latest barrage of missiles was launched just before the ceasefire came into effect." Iran can no longer build a nuclear weapon: US "US Vice President JD Vance declared that Iran is now “incapable” of producing a nuclear weapon, after US strikes destroyed key nuclear infrastructure. “We are now in a place we weren't a week ago,” Vance told Fox News. His remarks followed President Trump's announcement of a ceasefire with Iran—ending the fierce 12-Day War. Washington now frames this as both a crippling blow to Iran's nuclear ambitions and a fresh opening for Middle East diplomacy." NGOs demand GHF aid group stop deadly Gaza operations "More than a dozen human rights groups have sounded alarm over the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, urging it to halt operations amid chaotic and deadly aid distribution strategy. In a scathing open letter, 15 organisations condemned the US-backed and Israel-controlled group's approach as a dangerous departure from traditional humanitarian efforts, accusing it of fueling displacement and risking war crimes. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes near Beit Lahia and Gaza City have killed at least eight Palestinian aid seekers and wounded several others. " Spain urges EU to suspend trade, embargo arms to Israel "Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares has urged the European Union to take swift, bold action by suspending the EU-Israel trade agreement and imposing an arms embargo on Israel over its genocidal war on the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Speaking ahead of a Brussels meeting, Albares called for sanctions against those undermining the two-state solution, stressing that upholding Europe's core values is non-negotiable. " Türkiye's comms chief warns of rising info warfare, foreign meddling "At a high-profile panel in Amsterdam ahead of the NATO Summit, Turkish Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun spotlighted Türkiye's crucial role in global and regional security. Calling Türkiye “a key to peace and justice,” Altun emphasised the country's deep involvement in NATO missions and its diplomatic efforts. He also warned about evolving threats, highlighting the rise of information warfare and foreign interference as urgent challenges for the alliance's future security and stability."

"Israeli strikes have killed nearly 600 in Iran — US-based group " "Israeli strikes have killed at least 585 people across Iran and wounded 1,326 others, a human rights group has claimed. The Washington-based group has claimed to have identified 239 of the dead as civilians and 126 as security personnel. Iran's last update, issued on Monday however puts the death toll at 224 people killed and 1,277 others wounded. " Won't kill Iran's supreme leader — at least 'for now': Trump "US President Donald Trump has dramatically stepped up his rhetoric against Iran's supreme leader, saying on social media that the United States knows where Ali Khamenei is located but will not kill him ""for now."" In another post, Trump also appeared to demand Iran's ""unconditional surrender!"" as he fueled questions about whether the United States would join Israel's attacks on Tehran's leadership and nuclear facilities. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that they know exactly where Supreme Leader is hiding, and that he is an easy target, but is safe there, but they are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now." "Israel kills dozens of Palestinians, wounds hundreds in food line " "Israel has killed over 30 desperate Palestinians seeking aid in northwest of Gaza City. Israeli occupation soldiers fired at the desperate crowds of Palestinians seeking aid yesterday as they gathered at an aid distribution point to the northwest of the city, Earlier, Israeli forces had fired at Palestinians seeking food aid in the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza with tank shells, machine guns and drones, killing more than 60 civilians and wounding approximately 200 others. " China: Trump 'adding fuel to fire' in Iran-Israel conflict "China has decried US President Donald Trump's call to Iranians to evacuate the capital Tehran as ""adding fuel to the fire"" amid the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said adding fuel to the fire, making threats, and exerting pressure will not help ease the situation, it will only intensify contradictions and widen the conflict." Türkiye Parliament condemns Israel's genocide in Gaza and attacks on Iran "Türkiye's Parliament has unanimously adopted a motion condemning Israel's ongoing genocide on Gaza, its broader regional actions, and ongoing attacks targeting Iran. In a statement, published in the Official Gazette, the lawmakers said the Israeli regime has committed ""crimes against humanity"" through decades of occupation, systemic violence, and recent bombardments that killed thousands in Gaza. They also denounced Israeli attacks on Iran, describing them as ""provocative and threatening"" and warning they risk dragging the region into wider war."

At least 4 killed, 103 injured in Israel after Iran launches new wave of missiles "At least four people were killed and 103 injured in the latest Iranian missile strikes targeting Israel, Israeli media reported. Two of the injured are in serious condition, while seven others are in moderate condition. All casualties have been hospitalised." Israel continues to kill Palestinians across besieged Gaza "Israel has killed at least 16 more Palestinians across Gaza as its brutal war on the besieged enclave continues. The strikes targeted Gaza City, Nuseirat refugee camp, central Gaza, and Khan Younis as Israel's war on the enclave continues." Trump blocks Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader, US officials say "A senior US official told AFP that President Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The official, speaking anonymously, said Washington warned Israel against the move. Israeli PM Netanyahu declined to confirm the report but stated, “We'll do what we need to do.”" Turkish President Erdogan welcomes Trump's remarks on ending Israel-Iran conflict "Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed Donald Trump's recent call for peace between Israel and Iran, warning of a regional catastrophe if tensions escalate. The two leaders spoke by phone, discussing bilateral ties and regional issues, according to Türkiye's Communications Directorate. Trump earlier wrote on Truth Social that “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal.” UK names first female head of MI6, rewriting rules of spy game The UK has appointed the first woman to lead its Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), the Prime Minister's office announced. Blaise Metreweli will become the 18th chief of MI6, succeeding Sir Richard Moore, who will leave the service in the autumn.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Four more soldiers were declared dead on Friday morning after a booby trapped building exploded in the southern Gaza Strip. The slain soldiers were Sgt. First Class Tom Rotstein, Staff Sgt. Uri Yhonatan Cohen, Sgt. Maj. (res.) Chen Gross and Staff Sgt. Yoav Raver. Fabian weighs in on the challenges facing troops on the ground as Operation Gideon's Chariots continues. The leader of a small Gaza terror group responsible for the October 7, 2023, abductions and eventual murders of several hostages -- including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir -- was killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza City on Saturday, the military said. Another senior member was killed in a separate strike in the city. Fabian explains what the Mujahideen Brigades group is and other hostages who were murdered by it. The body of slain hostage Nattapong Pinta, who Hamas-led terrorists abducted on October 7, 2023, was recovered in a joint Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet operation in the southern Gaza Strip, officials announced Saturday morning. This follows the recovery of two additional hostage bodies, Gadi Haggai and Judih Weinstein from the Khan Younis region. We learn how their whereabouts were determined. The Israeli Navy is expected to block a high-profile activist mission sailing to Gaza to challenge Israel’s blockade, should the boat near Israel’s territorial waters in the coming days. Among the 12 activists on the ship are Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, Irish “Game of Thrones” actor Liam Cunningham, and Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian European Parliament member. With the world's gaze on Israel, Fabian describes how the Navy may block the boat from reaching the Gaza shore. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with ToI editor David Horovitz. How do you cover a war when no objective, proven journalists are allowed to report independently in the war zone? And when one side of the conflict -- a terrorist regime -- floods international media with its narrative while the other side -- an attacked sovereign nation -- provides no narrative, guess which side's story makes front pages? This week on What Matters Now, Horovitz lays out the challenges of penetrating the fog of this war within the constraints of an Israeli information vacuum. "The hardest challenge for journalists, and it's certainly never been harder for us in the last 19-20 months, is to get the facts first... Getting to the facts has never been harder," said Horovitz.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Dozens of airstrikes were reported overnight and IDF spokesman, Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, in a press statement from the Gaza border, says five divisions are now operating inside the Strip in the new offensive aimed at defeating Hamas. The ramped-up operation and Israel’s apparent determination have caused renewed determination to strike a deal. But the real question is which deal and whether the sides will bend at all. Magid fills us in. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the immediate resumption of “basic” humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip on Sunday evening. Israel has blocked the entry of medical, food and fuel supplies into Gaza since the start of March to try to pressure Hamas into freeing Israeli hostages. We learn about the newly established Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and when it will be up and running. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
