Amid growing scrutiny over Gaza's worsening humanitarian conditions, new aid groups are stepping in as Israel reconsiders its military campaign and hostage strategy. Co-anchor of America's Newsroom, Bill Hemmer traveled to a distribution site in southern Gaza, where thousands of folks gather to receive aid. He joined the Rundown to debrief after speaking directly with Gazan residents and a GHF member working on the front lines of the relief efforts. Republicans in Texas went into a special legislative session to reshape House districts for the 2026 election. Proposed changes could give the Lone Star State five more House Republicans, but Democrats have fled the state, refusing to vote on these changes. Blue state Democrats are looking to retaliate, with California Governor Gavin Newsom threatening to gerrymander California in the Democratic Party's favor.

Benjamin Netanyahu is now pushing for a total reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, even amid protests from some IDF commanders and hostage families. And those hoping for the United States to urge restraint have so far been disappointed. Many believe that yet another Israeli escalation will be a death sentence for not only the hostages but also what's left of the strip. The United Nations says that 1,400 Palestinians have been killed while trying to get food since May, including at least 859 near aid sites run by the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is run in partnership between Israel and the US and was created to circumvent the established aid groups, with disastrous results. Former US special forces green beret Anthony Aguilar worked as a guard at a GHF site and has since blown the whistle on what he says are war crimes. He joins Piers Morgan to discuss this, before retired lieutenant colonel and IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus joins to respond.But first, Piers leads a discussion with Israeli hostage negotiator Gershon Baskin, author of ‘End Jew Hatred' Brooke Goldstein, co-host of ‘Democracy-ish' Wajahat Ali and he also speaks to Palestinian National Initiative president Mustafa Barghouti.

Ci hanno detto che la guerra finirà quando torneranno a casa gli ostaggi. Ce lo ripetono ogni giorno, come fosse un pegno morale da esigere con le bombe. Ma chiunque segua con onestà i fatti sa che è una menzogna funzionale: la liberazione degli ostaggi non è mai stata il fine. È il pretesto. La linea del governo è chiara, ed è ben più ampia della liberazione degli ostaggi. Il ministro Itamar Ben Gvir lo ha detto senza infingimenti: «Conquistare tutta Gaza, incentivare l'emigrazione volontaria, ricostruire gli insediamenti. Solo così riporteremo gli ostaggi e vinceremo la guerra». Non una liberazione, ma una sostituzione. Netanyahu non si oppone. Secondo quanto riportato dal Times of Israel, «sta mostrando apertura verso l'idea di incoraggiare la migrazione dei palestinesi da Gaza», sotto pressione della sua ala più estrema. E il suo ministro delle Finanze, Bezalel Smotrich, propone ufficialmente di reinsediare coloni israeliani nella Striscia. Intanto, Gaza muore di fame: 180 vittime accertate per malnutrizione, 93 sono bambini. Le forze israeliane hanno sparato su civili in fila per gli aiuti: 7 morti e 20 feriti solo il 4 agosto, vicino al centro GHF di Gaza City. Hamas – riferisce il Jerusalem Post – ha chiesto almeno 250 camion di aiuti al giorno come precondizione per tornare a trattare. La risposta israeliana è stata più fuoco e più fame. È in questo contesto che oltre 600 ex funzionari del Mossad e dello Shin Bet hanno scritto a Trump: «Hamas non è più una minaccia strategica. Questa guerra non è più giusta». Chi parla ancora solo di ostaggi, mente. O è complice. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

In this episode of "What Makes You Tick," host Stephen speaks with Dr. Victoria Rose, a UK-based consultant plastic surgeon, about her extensive humanitarian work in Gaza during the ongoing Israel-Gaza war. The conversation opens with Dr. Rose's personal journey into medicine and plastic surgery, but quickly turns to her frontline experiences in Gaza, where she has completed three "tours" since 2018, working primarily with trauma victims – the majority of whom are children – in the besieged territory. Dr. Rose provides firsthand, harrowing accounts of the catastrophic impact of Israeli military operations on Gaza's civilian population. She describes the escalating numbers of wounded and killed, the relentless airstrikes, and the devastation wrought upon hospitals and essential infrastructure. The situation, as Dr. Rose recounts, is a direct result of the actions and policies of Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu's government. She underscores that this government is solely responsible for the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the scale of civilian suffering in Gaza, which she frankly describes as genocide. She details the work of her team in conjunction with IDEALS, a medical charity, and shares powerful stories of the local population's resilience and unimaginable hardship—highlighting how Gaza, before the war, was a place full of culture, education, and strong community bonds, now reduced to ruins where survival is the daily struggle. Dr. Rose discusses the profound psychological and physical toll on children, illustrating this with stories of child patients who have suffered life-changing injuries or lost family members in the bombardment. A significant part of the conversation focuses on the catastrophic failure of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the body currently tasked with delivering aid. Dr. Rose describes the GHF's approach as disgraceful, militarized, and deadly, with their flawed system resulting in additional deaths—including shootings at aid distribution points—and inadequate food provision (often just bags of rice and pasta, far from meeting the actual needs of the population). She states unequivocally that the GHF must be removed and replaced by legitimate, experienced humanitarian actors such as UNICEF, UNRWA, the World Food Programme, and other established aid organizations that are capable of providing comprehensive relief, including food, healthcare, water, sanitation, and protection for the most vulnerable. Dr. Rose also addresses the misinformation and propaganda in Western media, calling out news organizations like the BBC for adopting narratives that label Palestinian healthcare workers as members of Hamas—assertions she firmly refutes based on her on-the-ground experience. She emphasizes that her colleagues in Gaza are doctors and nurses dedicated solely to saving lives amid impossible conditions. In her message to world leaders and the international community, Dr. Rose urges for immediate, tangible action: a ceasefire leading to a two-state solution, and the restoration of proper humanitarian agencies in Gaza. She insists that real change requires both political will and a return to basic human decency—her most striking takeaway being, "We just have to be nice to each other." This episode offers a raw, urgent, and deeply informed perspective on the devastation in Gaza, directly holding Israel and its current leadership responsible for the humanitarian disaster, and calls for an overhaul of current aid mechanisms to prevent further needless suffering.

Despite some pushback from his party to deal with the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza - especially Israel's starvation policy - the US governing Republican Party remains unmoved. Republicans overwhelmingly support Israel's tactics against the Palestinians, as support for Israel plummets among Independent and Democratic voters. Trump says he wants more food to reach Gaza via the militarised distribution mechanism, the GHF. But he criticised Western countries that spoke of diplomatic moves, such as recognising Palestinian statehood. Host Steve Clemons speaks with Republican analyst Mark Pfeifle and Democratic analyst David Bolger on Trump's political calculations on Middle East policy.

Is Israel Starving Palestinians? A Firsthand Report from the Border There's a growing claim in the global media that Israel is blocking food and aid from reaching Palestinians in Gaza. But what's actually happening on the ground? In this episode, we're joined by Yair Pinto, an Israeli believer, IDF reservist, and voice on TBN Israel. Yair recently returned from a UN distribution facility near the Gaza border, where millions of meals are sitting untouched—spoiling in the heat. From what he's seen firsthand, the problem isn't the supply. It's the systems of control and obstruction. Together, we take a closer look at how Hamas and the UN are shaping the flow of humanitarian aid, the double standards Israel continues to face, and what we can do to cut through the confusion from afar. If you've been trying to sort out what's real and what's rhetoric, this is an episode worth your time. Key Takeaways: October 7 wasn't just a terror attack - it launched a war across multiple fronts, including the battlefield of global opinion. Yair's unique voice - as an IDF soldier, a Messianic Jew, and a media communicator - brings clarity few can offer. The truth about humanitarian aid: Israel sends it. Hamas steals it. The UN looks the other way. The war is spiritual: Satan hates a faithful God - and Israel is His proof. The media war is being lost - but truth still has a remnant. Israel's fight is defensive, not imperial: It's survival against genocidal hatred. Many Palestinians remain under the grip of Hamas ideology, not because of race or religion, but radical indoctrination. Even amidst sirens and rockets, God is still doing miracles in Israel. Prayer matters - especially for the children, the hostages, and even for Israel's enemies.

In een oorlog, blijkt keer op keer opnieuw, is de waarheid het eerste slachtoffer. Dat heeft ermee te maken dat de vijand altijd moet worden afgeschilderd als verliezer en de eigen krijgsmacht als winnaar. Aangezien er in geen enkele oorlog in de moderne geschiedenis een echte winnaar is geweest, wordt het goedkoopste, en doorgaans zeer effectieve wapen ingezet: de leugen. Omdat objectieve middelen ontbreken om beweringen, bijvoorbeeld van woordvoerders, te toetsen, wordt de waarheid het product van emoties, en nauwelijks van feiten. De hel van Gaza is een voorbeeld, met de honger als trieste metafoor. Niemand van ons weet wat zich daar precies afspeelt, want onafhankelijke media mogen er niet in. Op X circuleert een hartverscheurende foto van een meisje met een metalen schaal, in een poging wat voedsel te scoren. De foto dateert uit 2014, op de grens van Iran en Syrië, en is van een Yazidi-meisje dat vlucht voor IS. Hier komen wat dagelijkse beweringen van deze tijd: -‘Er is voldoende voedsel’, zegt Israël, ‘maar als we het overdragen aan de VN, wordt het meteen gejat door Hamas of marktkooplui en voor woekerprijzen doorverkocht.’ De VN zegt: ‘Israël laat het voedsel niet door’, maar erkent dat veel wordt gestolen. -Israël schiet met scherp op mensen die zich verdringen bij distributiepunten. Israël zegt: ‘het zijn alleen waarschuwingsschoten’. Er zijn Amerikaanse huurlingen bij, een soort Amerikaanse Wagnergroep, die ook met scherp schieten, maar dat zijn formeel geen soldaten, dus daar let niemand op. Hamas schiet ook met scherp, maar ook daarvan hebben we geen bewijs. Behalve natuurlijk ooggetuigen en woordvoerders. Maar ja… -Israël en Amerika hebben samen een keten van distributiepunten opgezet, de Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, die verschillende locaties heeft. Die zijn bestormd door hongerige burgers, waarbij met scherp is geschoten. Onderzoek van de BBC aan de hand van schaarse beelden en forensisch materiaal maakt niet duidelijk wie nou precies op wie schoot. De VN en internationale hulporganisaties zijn mordicus tegen de GHF omdat die zelfstandig werkt. Dat is misschien niet tactisch, maar de wereld van hulporganisaties is een kliek van met elkaar overhoopliggende bazen en veldwerkers. En daar hebben Amerika en Israël geen zin in. Helpt het om in deze kluwen van opportunisme en leugens twee zeloten uit het Israëlische kabinet de toegang tot Nederland te ontzeggen? Of, zoals Frankrijk en 143 andere landen, alvast de staat Palestina te erkennen? Of moeten we hopen dat de Grote Roerganger Trump er zo genoeg van krijgt dat hij met zijn vuist op de Resolute Desk slaat en zegt: nou is het mooi geweest! Want dat helpt wél.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A choice between starvation or being shot at. That’s the decision many Palestinians in Gaza have been forced to make. More than 900 people have been killed at the GHF's aid distribution sites.

Johnnie Moore has been running the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation for two months now and the current he's swimming against seems to just keep on getting stronger. Speaking with State of Tel Aviv and Beyond on the afternoon of Friday, July 25, Moore was forthright about how the entrenched humanitarian ecosystem that has been the overseer of the Gaza Strip for almost 20 years — the UN — has been less than enthusiastic about co-operating with GHF to ensure that civilians in the Strip receive adequate food and other supplies. Moore has reached out to many senior UN officials - including Secretary General Antonio Guterres - whose staff took their time in responding. And when they finally did reply — they told Rev. Moore — by email, that the Secretary General did not have time to meet. Or speak. Same with those to whom Guterres delegated the matter. GHF was working 24 /7 to ensure that civilians in Gaza received adequate food. And the Secretary General was… too busy to take a call? It's shocking — what Moore shares. But he is undeterred. He presses on and his team on the ground delivers more food each day. Extraordinary.Show your support for STL at buymeacoffee.com/stateoftelavivState of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Israël a annoncé ce dimanche des « pauses humanitaires quotidiennes » dans plusieurs zones de la bande de Gaza, ravagée par 21 mois de guerre et touchée de plein fouet par la famine. Après des semaines de pression internationale, des camions d'aide humanitaires ont pris la direction de l'enclave palestinienne ce matin, depuis l'Égypte. Précédemment, l'armée israélienne avait annoncé avoir également parachuté de l'aide, dans la nuit. Pour en parler avec nous, Amande Bazerolle, responsable des opérations d'urgence de MSF à Gaza. RFI : Quelle est votre réaction face à ces annonces ? Amande Bazerolle : Enfin, il se passe quelque chose. Même si, hélas, la situation qui est à déplorer sur place aurait pu être évitée puisqu'elle était complètement injustifiée. Elle est due au blocus israélien depuis le début du mois de mars à Gaza.  Au vu des nombreuses alertes de l'ONU et d'ONG sur la famine à Gaza, ces annonces suffisent-elles, selon vous ? Non, cela ne suffit pas, car nous n'avons aucune garantie que cela va continuer dans le temps. Aujourd'hui, c'est une population qui est extrêmement amaigrie, avec des morts que l'on constate déjà. Une population qui est à bout de souffle. Le seul moyen de les prendre en charge, c'est de s'assurer qu'il y ait de la nourriture qui rentre en quantité suffisante pour la totalité de la population, puisque ce sont deux millions d'habitants qui sont dépendants de l'aide alimentaire. Et que ce soit fait de manière continue. On ne peut pas être dépendant de la volonté des Israéliens qui ne justifient aucunement le pourquoi du blocus.  Au niveau géographique, dans l'enclave palestinienne, il y a trois points principaux de foyers de population où une pause tactique a été annoncée par l'armée israélienne. D'abord Gaza-ville au nord, Deir al Balah au centre, Al Mawasi au sud. Trois grands points de rassemblement. Avez-vous une idée de combien de personnes vont pouvoir bénéficier de cette aide ?  Aujourd'hui, il ne reste que 15 % du territoire qui est accessible aux Palestiniens. Le reste est sous ordre d'évacuation de la part de l'armée israélienne. La grande majorité des 2,1 millions d'habitants de la bande de Gaza se concentrent dans ces trois poches qui ont été créées par les activités militaires des Israéliens. Via ces trois territoires, les autorités et les ONG vont pouvoir distribuer auprès de la population directement la nourriture, comme c'était le cas pendant la trêve.  On parle de zones assez larges, de centres urbains. Mais quid de la population en périphérie et éloignée de ces zones ? Va-t-elle pouvoir bénéficier aussi de cette aide ?  Nous mettrons tout en œuvre pour pouvoir distribuer à l'entièreté de la population. Cette pause va permettre de faire entrer non seulement l'aide, mais surtout, on l'espère, d'arrêter les bombardements quotidiens qui ont lieu, y compris dans ces zones qui ne sont pas sous ordre d'évacuation, afin d'y permettre la sécurité pour que les gens puissent se déplacer. Il y avait 400 centres de distribution pendant la trêve. Nous espérons pouvoir réactiver la grande majorité de ces centres pour pouvoir distribuer à la population et, évidemment, pouvoir avoir accès aux plus démunis. La façon dont cela s'organise, c'est via des listes. Aujourd'hui, nous savons à qui nous distribuons de la nourriture - quand je dis nous, je parle des ONG en charge de la distribution. Ce n'est plus organisé comme le faisait la Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), qui n'était pas du tout organisée et qui fonctionnait sur le principe du « premier arrivé, premier servi ». Cela va être organisé comme savent le faire les professionnels de l'humanitaire et de la distribution de nourriture.  Savez-vous ce que contiennent les camions humanitaires qui arrivent dans le territoire ? Et savez-vous également ce que ce qu'on a largué comme type d'aide dans les parachutages cette nuit ? Je n'ai pas le détail exact. Ce que l'on sait, c'est que nous allons faire entrer de la farine, ce qui est l'un des aliments principaux pour les Gazaouis, mais aussi beaucoup de boîtes de conserve. Parce qu'on ne sait pas combien de temps va durer cette situation. Il faut pouvoir avoir de la nourriture qui va rester le plus longtemps possible. Mais aussi de la nourriture thérapeutique pour pouvoir s'occuper des 30 000 enfants aujourd'hui recensés – c'est sûrement beaucoup plus – qui ont besoin d'être dans un programme de nutrition.  Il faut de l'eau et du gaz de cuisine pour préparer parfois certaines denrées alimentaires. La population est-elle en mesure de profiter de l'intégralité de cette aide au vu des conditions de vie sur place ?  Cela va être compliqué. Effectivement, on ne sait pas si on va pouvoir faire entrer du gaz pour pouvoir cuisiner. Concernant l'eau, les Israéliens ont annoncé qu'ils allaient rétablir l'électricité sur l'une des principales centrales de dessalement. Ce qui prouve à nouveau que tout cela était possible, pouvoir distribuer de l'eau en quantité suffisante. Que c'était une volonté politique de ne pas le faire. MSF concourt à distribuer cette eau directement aux populations, l'amener aux populations et arrêter de faire se déplacer les populations. C'est à nous d'aller au-devant d'eux et pas l'inverse.  Quand on sort de famine, après des mois de dénutrition, y a-t-il des dangers ? Vous parliez de nourriture thérapeutique. Certaines personnes, qui ont été complètement dénutries, qui sont en situation de malnutrition sévère, vont devoir être accompagnés dans la renutrition. Leur métabolisme n'est pas capable d'absorber la nourriture. Il va falloir le faire de manière très suivie, par du personnel médical et nous allons concourir à cela. Ce que nous espérons, c'est pouvoir atteindre ceux que nous n'atteignons pas à présent, dû à l'insécurité constante dans la bande de Gaza.  Combien de temps faudra-t-il pour réalimenter la population, alors qu'on ignore la durée de l'autorisation de l'aide humanitaire ? Il n'est pas question de « combien de temps ». Il faut que ce soit de manière pérenne. La question ne se pose pas aujourd'hui. Les populations sont exténuées après une famine, 21 mois de guerre, de déplacements incessants, de conditions de vie absolument drastiques, de conditions d'hygiène encore pires. La seule solution, c'est que cela cesse et qu'on ait un vrai cessez-le-feu qui soit absolument permanent. Qu'on laisse les organisations dont c'est le métier travailler à Gaza et apporter assistance à deux millions de personnes qui sont dans le besoin.  On en parlait du déroulement de l'opération. Peut-on rentrer dans le détail ? Comment cela va s'opérer ? Est-ce vous, les ONG, le système onusien, qui allez-vous occuper de l'acheminement ? Avez-vous des informations plus précises sur le déroulement ?  Il y a des ONG et des agences onusiennes telles que le Programme alimentaire mondial qui ont déjà commencé à faire rentrer des camions. Tant qu'on n'assure pas à la population que cela sera une distribution qui va concerner l'entièreté de la population, il y aura toujours des problèmes de pillages, des gens qui auront peur d'être laissés pour compte. Et c'est ce qui s'est passé aujourd'hui. Il faut s'assurer, et on a réussi à faire pendant la trêve, qu'il y ait assez de nourriture qui rentre pour tout le monde pour ne pas créer de concurrence et de risques sécuritaires. Il faut s'assurer que non seulement cela rentre, mais que surtout, il n'y ait pas de tirs autour, comme on l'a constaté ces dernières semaines de la part des forces israéliennes. La GHF est-elle écartée ? Nous espérons que la GHF sera écartée puisqu'elle ne répondait aucunement aux besoins de la population, ni au droit humanitaire, en excluant complètement les plus démunis et les plus vulnérables. Les Nations unies et les autres organisations sont prêtes à faire rentrer de la nourriture qui attend depuis des mois pour entrer dans Gaza et subvenir aux besoins de la population.

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. The Israeli military said this morning that it was set to begin ground operations in Deir al-Balah for the first time since the start of the war, issuing an evacuation order for Palestinians in the southwest of the city in the central Gaza Strip. Deir al-Balah is one of the few places in the Strip where the military has not yet operated with ground troops because it believed Hamas to be holding hostages there, though it has conducted airstrikes in the city. Fabian spells out scenarios why the IDF is now ready to operate there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement late Thursday expressing its regret after IDF tank fire killed three civilians in Gaza’s only Catholic church, heeding a demand from US President Donald Trump, who angrily phoned the Israeli premier over the incident. Following the fatal strike, the Latin patriarch, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the highest-ranking Catholic official in Jerusalem, entered the Gaza Strip on Friday alongside Theophilos III, the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem. Fabian describes the events that led to the accidental shelling. Dozens of Gazans were reportedly killed near aid distribution sites in the past few days. The Israeli military said it had fired warning shots at suspects who approached its troops after they did not heed calls to stop, about a kilometer away from an aid site that was not active at the time.The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group that runs the aid site, said there were no incidents or fatalities there on Saturday and that it has repeatedly warned people not to travel to its distribution points in the dark. Fabian discusses the refusals from the IDF and the GHF for reporters to visit the sites and help clear up the tangled narratives. Israel is preparing to send medical equipment and medicine to a hospital in the Druze-majority city of Sweida, in southern Syria, after days of violence left an estimated 900 people dead and the medical facility badly damaged, the Health Ministry announced on Saturday. We hear about the IDF's involvement in the Syrian province over the past week and how hundreds of Israeli Druze have breached the border -- sometimes repeatedly. What does this mean about Israel's security along the border? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The United Nations human rights office says at least 875 people have been killed while seeking aid in Gaza in a month, with most killed in the vicinity of US-Israeli backed aid sites. In Europe, the E-U says it will consider taking action if Israel fails to improve the humanitarian situation inside Gaza. - اقوام متحدہ نے غزہ میں فلسطینیوں کو خوراک کے انتظام کے دوران ہونے والی اموات کی شدید مذمت کی ہے۔ اقوام متحدہ کے انسانی حقوق کے دفتر کا کہنا ہے کہ گذشتہ چند ہفتوں میں کم از کم 575 لوگ خوراک لینے کے لیے لائن میں کھڑے ہونے کے دوران نشانہ بنے، جن میں سے 674 افراد ایسے مقامات پر ہلاک ہوئے جہاں امدادی ادارے (GHF) غذائی رقوم دے رہے تھے۔

Since October 2023, Israel's siege on Gaza has turned food — the most basic human need — into a weapon of war. Today, the entire population is on the brink of famine. Babies are dying. Mothers can't produce milk. And even if food is allowed in, for many, it may already be too late — because refeeding after starvation can be just as deadly. Nearly 800 Palestinians have been killed just trying to access food at the U.S. and Israel have backed a aid network called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — run by private American military contractors and coordinated with the Israeli army. Instead of relief, these sites have become militarized “death traps” where hungry Palestinian are met gunfire. Our guest is Dr. Yara Asi — a Palestinian public health expert who's been sounding the alarm since the start of this genocide. We talk about the science of famine, the deadly effects of starvation and refeeding, and how Gaza's food system — and its people — are being systematically dismantled.   - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Taiwan: hope China will follow olympic protocol in naming Beijing says, Chinese media will continue to refer to Taiwan's team as "Taipei, China" in reports on the upcoming World Games in Chengdu… while Taiwan said it "hopes" the Chinese sides will follow the "Olympic Protocol" and refer to its team as "Chinese Taipei." A spokesperson from China's Taiwan Affairs Office said that protocol only applies to sports-related matters and has been, and will continue to be, implemented at international sporting events held in China… but he said that the protocol does not apply to news media or areas beyong sports events. The spokesman's remarks indicate that China will continue to use the name that Taiwanese authorities see as diminishing of Taiwan's status- Taipei, China- instead of the olympic-approved "Chinese Taipei." The situation mirrors a controversy earlier this year during the Asian Winter Games in Harbin, where both the Taiwan Office and media in China referred to the delegation of Taiwan as "Taipei, China." The games are set to be held in Chengdu in august. Molicel cell maker adjusts capacity following plant fire Molie Quantum Energy Corporation announced yesterday that it will adjust production capacity at its Southern Taiwan Science Park facility. The park will support high-end product shipments originally (起初) handled by the Kaohsiung facility. This comes after a fire broke out at its lithium-ion battery cell plant in Kaohsiung earlier this week. The company's battery cell brand, Molicel, supplies premium markets including supercars, aerospace, and AI server data center backup systems. The Southern Taiwan Science Park facility's three production lines will begin assisting with shipments next month. (AH-CNA) GHF: 20 Palestinians Killed at Distribution Site An American aid organization says 20 Palestinians were killed at a distribution site in Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said it believed 19 died from trampling Wednesday at its food distribution (分發) center and one was stabbed. The group accuses Hamas of spreading panic but provided no evidence. Witnesses said GHF guards threw stun grenades and used pepper spray on people pressing to get into the site before it opened, causing panic. The United Nations reports 875 Palestinians have died near aid sites since May. Meanwhile, hospital officials say Israeli strikes killed 54 others, including 14 children. Israel says its strikes target Hamas, accusing the group of hiding among civilians. Officials downgrade Alaska tsunami warning after 7.3 magnitude earthquake From the US…..

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a newly established U.S.-backed aid group distributing food in Gaza, is under fire from critics who say hundreds of Gazans have been killed near its distribution sites.But is there a bigger story here?In this episode, I sit down with Johnnie Moore, executive chairman of the GHF and former commissioner for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.“We have one mission, to feed the people of Gaza in a way that Hamas—a designated terrorist organization in the United States and Europe—can't steal the food because for many, many years, Hamas has been stealing the food of the Gazan people,” Moore says.“The problem in Gaza is that the United Nations and other international agencies created a system which empowered virtually every bad actor and every bad force in the Gaza Strip to make a bad situation worse.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

We begin on a positive note by welcoming a “doer,” citizen extraordinaire, Jon Merryman, who couldn't stand the trash, especially old tires, being dumped in his neighborhood. So, he took it upon himself to clean it up and has now expanded his efforts across the country. Then co-president of Public Citizen, Robert Weissman, joins us to explain how spending in the recent bill passed by the Republican controlled Congress prioritizes the Pentagon and deportation enforcement at the expense of the social safety net, essentially trading life for death.Jon Merryman was a software designer at Lockheed Martin, who after retiring found his true calling, cleaning up trash in every county in America.When I first started looking at the environment next to my place of work, one of the things I did uncover was tires. And they were definitely there from the '20s, the '30s, and the '40s, they've been there for decades. And then just after a while, the soil and the erosion just covers them up. And you just discover them, and you realize this has been going on forever.Jon MerrymanNature is innocent. It really doesn't deserve what we've given it. And I feel like someone's got to step up to undo what we've done.Jon MerrymanRobert Weissman is a staunch public interest advocate and activist, as well as an expert on a wide variety of issues ranging from corporate accountability and government transparency to trade and globalization, to economic and regulatory policy. As the Co-President of Public Citizen, he has spearheaded the effort to loosen the chokehold corporations, and the wealthy have over our democracy.The best estimates are that the loss of insurance and measures in this bill will cost 40,000 lives every year. Not once. Every year.Robert Weissman co-president of Public Citizen on the Budget BillPeople understand there's a rigged system. They understand that generally. They understand that with healthcare. But if you (the Democrats) don't name the health insurance companies as an enemy, as a barrier towards moving forward. You don't say United Health; you don't go after a Big Pharma, which is probably the most despised health sector in the economy, people don't think you're serious. And partially it's because you're not.Robert WeissmanNews 7/11/251. This week, the Financial Times published a stunning story showing the Tony Blair Institute – founded by the former New Labour British Prime Minister and Iraq War accomplice Tony Blair – “participated” in a project to “reimagine Gaza as a thriving trading hub.” This project would include a “Trump Riviera” and an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone”. To accomplish this, the investors would pay half a million Palestinians to leave Gaza to open the enclave up for development – and that is just the tip of the harebrained iceberg. This scheme would also involve creating “artificial islands off the coast akin to those in Dubai, blockchain-based trade initiatives…and low-tax ‘special economic zones'.” The development of this plot is somewhat shadowy. The FT story names a, “group of Israeli businessmen…including tech investor Liran Tancman and venture capitalist Michael Eisenberg,” who helped establish the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in February 2025. GHF has been accused of using supposed aid distribution sites as “death traps,” per France 24. Boston Consulting Group, also named in the FT story, strongly disavowed the project, as did the Tony Blair Institute.2. In more positive news related to Gaza, the National Education Association – the largest labor union in the United States – voted this week to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL, once an important group safeguarding the civil rights and wellbeing of American Jews, has completely abandoned its historic mission and has instead devoted its considerable resources to trying to crush the anti-Zionist movement. The NEA passed a resolution stating that the NEA “will not use, endorse, or publicize materials from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), such as its curricular materials or statistics,” because, “Despite its reputation as a civil rights organization, the ADL is not the social justice educational partner it claims to be.” Labor Notes writes that the ADL “has been a ubiquitous presence in U.S. schools for forty years, pushing curriculum, direct programming, and teacher training into K-12 schools and increasingly into universities.” One NEA delegate, Stephen Siegel, said from the assembly floor, “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil fuel industry to determine what constitutes climate change.”3. Another major labor story from this week concerns sanitation workers in Philadelphia. According to the Delaware News Journal, AFSCME District Council 33 has reached a deal with the city to raise wages for their 9,000 workers by 9% over three years. The union went on strike July 1st, resulting in, “massive piles of trash piling up on city streets and around trash drop-off sites designated by the city,” and “changes to the city's annual Fourth of July concert with headliner LL Cool J and city native Jazmine Sullivan both dropping out,” in solidarity with the striking workers, per WHYY. The deal reached is a major compromise for the union, which was seeking a 32% total pay increase, but they held off on an extended trash pickup strike equivalent to 1986 strike, which went on for three weeks and left 45,000 tons of rotting garbage in the streets, per ABC.4. Yet another labor story brings us to New York City. ABC7 reports the United Federation of Teachers has endorsed Democratic Socialist – and Democratic Party nominee – Zohran Mamdani for mayor. This report notes “UFT is the city's second largest union…[with] 200,000 members.” Announcing the endorsement, UFT President Michael Mulgrew stated, “This is a real crisis and it's a moment for our city, and our city is starting to speak out very loudly…The voters are saying the same thing, 'enough is enough.' The income gap disparity is above…that which we saw during the Gilded Age." All eyes now turn to District Council 37, which ABC7 notes “endorsed Council speaker Adrienne Adams in the primary and has yet to endorse in the general election.”5. The margin of Mamdani's victory, meanwhile, continues to grow as the Board of Elections updates its ranked choice voting tallies. According to the conservative New York Post, Zohran has “won more votes than any other mayoral candidate in New York City primary election history.” Mamdani can now boast having won over 565,000 votes after 102,000 votes were transferred from other candidates. Not only that, “Mamdani's totals are expected to grow as…a small percent of ballots are still being counted.”6. Meanwhile, scandal-ridden incumbent New York City Mayor Eric Adams has yet another scandal on his hands. The New York Daily News reports, “Four high-ranking former NYPD chiefs are suing Mayor Adams, claiming they were forced to retire from the department after complaining that his ‘unqualified' friends were being placed in prestigious police positions, sometimes after allegedly bribing their way into the jobs.” Former Police Commissioner Edward Caban, who was already forced to resign in disgrace amidst a federal corruption investigation, features prominently in this new lawsuit. Among other things, Caban is alleged to have been “selling promotions” to cops for up to $15,000. Adams is running for reelection as an independent, but trails Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo.7. Turning to the federal government, as the U.S. disinvests in science and technology, a new report published in the Financial Times finds that, “Almost three-quarters of all solar and wind power projects being built globally are in China.” According to the data, gathered by Global Energy Monitor, “China is building 510 gigawatts of utility-scale solar and wind projects… [out of] 689GW under construction globally.” As this report notes, one gigawatt can potentially supply electricity for about one million homes. This report goes on to say that, “China is expected to add at least 246.5GW of solar and 97.7GW of wind this year,” on top of the “1.5 terawatts of solar and wind power capacity up and running as of the end of March.” In the first quarter of 2025, solar and wind accounted for 22.5% of China's total electricity consumption; in 2023, solar and wind accounted for around 14% of electricity consumption in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.8. Developments this week put two key rules promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission under former Chair Lina Khan in jeopardy. First and worse, NPR reports the Republican-controlled FTC is abandoning a rule which would have banned non-compete clauses in employment contracts. These anti-worker provisions “trap workers and depress wages,” according to Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who has introduced legislation to ban them by statute. Perhaps more irritatingly however, Reuters reports the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis has blocked the so-called “click to cancel” rule just days before it was set to take effect. This rule would have, “required retailers, gyms and other businesses to provide cancellation methods for subscriptions, auto-renewals and free trials that convert to paid memberships that are ‘at least as easy to use' as the sign up process.” A coalition of corporate interests sued to block the rule, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a trade group representing major cable and internet providers such as Charter Communications, Comcast and Cox Communications along with media companies like Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery. Lina Khan decried “Firms…making people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription, trapping Americans in needless bureaucracy and wasting their time & money.”9. In another betrayal of consumers, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues to break promises and speak out of both sides of his mouth. A new report in NPR documents RFK Jr. speaking at a conference in April, where he “spoke about the health effects of exposure to harmful chemicals in our food, air and water…[and] cited recent research on microplastics from researchers in Oregon, finding these tiny particles had shown up in 99% of the seafood they sampled.” Yet Susanne Brander, the author of the study, had gotten word just an hour earlier that “a federal grant she'd relied on to fund her research for years…was being terminated.” Brander is quoted saying "It feels like they are promoting the field while ripping out the foundation." Ripping out the foundation of this research is felt acutely, as “regulators are weakening safeguards that limit pollution and other toxic chemicals.” So Mr. Secretary, which is more important – stopping the proliferation of microplastics or slashing funding for the very scientists studying the issue?10. Finally, in Los Angeles masked federal troops are marauding through the streets on horseback, sowing terror through immigrant communities, per the New York Times. President Trump mobilized approximately 4,000 National Guard members – putting them under federal control – alongside 700 Marines in response to protests against immigration raids in June. As the Times notes, “It has been more than three weeks since the last major demonstration in downtown Los Angeles,” but the federal forces have not been demobilized. While some have dismissed the shows of force as nothing more than stunts designed to fire up the president's base, Gregory Bovino, a Customs and Border Protection chief in Southern California told Fox News “[LA] Better get used to us now, cause this is going to be normal very soon.” As LA Mayor Karen Bass put it, “What I saw…looked like a city under siege, under armed occupation…It's the way a city looks before a coup.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Israel bans international journalists from independent access to Gaza. But NPR's Anas Baba is from Gaza, and in the 21 months he has been reporting on the war, he's also been living it. Over the course of the war, he has lost a third of his body weight, and until his food supplies ran out several weeks ago, he was getting by on just one small meal a day.Israel still tightly restricts the entry of food into Gaza. The food it does allow in is mostly distributed through new sites run by private American contractors with a group called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. GHF operates under protection from the Israeli military, and the U.N. Secretary General António Guterres said this new system "is killing people."According to health officials and international medical teams in Gaza, hundreds of people have been killed by Israeli troops as they approach these food sites. U.S. officials have accused American media of spreading Hamas misinformation.

Izraelský premiér Benjamin Netanjahu je opět ve Spojených státech, kde už potřetí za půl roku jedná se šéfem Bílého domu Donaldem Trumpem. Řešit mají vztahy s Íránem, ale také situaci v Pásmu Gazy. Ta byla předmětem i přímých víkendových rozhovorů v Kataru, kam byly vyslány delegace Izraele a Hamásu. Výsledky ale nepřinesly. Situace v Gaze se přitom pro dva miliony Palestinců a Palestinek žijících na území zhruba o velikosti Prahy nezlepšuje. Humanitární pomoc na místě koordinuje organizace GHF podporovaná Spojenými státy a Izraelem, u které se humanitární organizace napříč světem obávaly neefektivity, upozorňuje ve Výtahu Respektu Magdaléna Fajtová: „Distribuci pomoci zahájila ve druhé polovině května, a to po uvolnění dvouměsíční blokády ze strany Izraele. Nicméně úřady v Gaze pod správou Hamásu varují obyvatele, aby se na tuto organizaci neobraceli, protože tím riskují své životy. Při přebírání pomoci od této organizace dochází k tomu, že civilisté umírají. Úřad vysokého komisaře OSN uvedl, že ke konci června měl informaci o 600 případech zabití u center spravovaných GHF." Izraelská armáda v minulém týdnu přiznala, že u center skutečně došlo ke střelbě do civilistů. Existuje momentálně nějaký plán na obnovu Pásma Gazy a poválečné uspořádání? Jak silné je teroristické hnutí Hamás? A jak se k situaci v Gaze vyjadřují různé státy?

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. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. We record today's episode hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to take off on Wing of Zion for a whirlwind few days of meetings in Washington, DC. Berman, who is joining the prime minister, updates us on what we know about the ceasefire/ hostage release negotiations right now: An Israeli negotiating team was set to travel to Qatar Sunday for indirect talks with the Hamas terror group, as mediators bear down on the sides amid intensifying efforts to clinch an agreement. There are still a lot of wrinkles to iron out. Berman weighs in. The premier’s spokesman Omer Dostri announced he is stepping down just ahead of the DC trip. “The decision to terminate his employment was made in coordination between the prime minister, his chief of staff, and Dostri,” says the PMO. Berman offers a competing narrative. Early Saturday, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation reported that two American aid workers were wounded when assailants threw two hand grenades at a distribution site in southern Gaza, blaming the attack on “hostile action by Hamas.” Berman discusses other recent Hamas attacks on aid in the Strip and how international humanitarian organizations still prefer to ramp up their efforts rather than cooperate with the GHF. The head of a militia operating in an area of Gaza under Israeli military control, Yasser Abu Shabab, gave an interview to the Israeli public broadcaster’s Arabic-language radio station Makan, in which he confirmed for the first time that his forces are cooperating at some level with the IDF. Could this be a viable option elsewhere? Iranian ballistic missiles struck five Israeli military bases during the 12-day war with last month, The Telegraph reported on Saturday for the first time, citing satellite data shared by Oregon State University. We hear which bases The Telegraph pointed to and their significance. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Hassan El-Tayyeb of the Friends Committee on National Legislation returns with an update on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the growing movement to end U.S. support for the assault. Then, Mackenzie Knight Boyle from the Federation of American Scientists walks us through the scale and secrecy of the U.S. nuclear weapons program — and the risks it poses to the world. Finally, constitutional scholar Bruce Fein joins us to call out the unchecked power and ethical failures of the Supreme Court.Hassan El-Tayyab is the lead lobbyist on Middle East policy for the Friends Committee on National Legislation. Mr. El-Tayyab co-chairs the U.S. Ceasefire Coalition and leads the Friends Committee's work to end the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, advocate for Palestinian human rights, and advance diplomacy with Iran.(The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) militarizes aid and is run by private armed contractors. It violates all these principles of neutrality, independence, impartiality. And we even saw the GHF's own executive director, Jake Wood, resign in protest in May, saying that he couldn't work in a way that didn't adhere to these humanitarian principles.Hassan El-TayyabMackenzie Knight-Boyle is a Senior Research Associate for the Nuclear Information Project at the Federation of American Scientists, where she co-authors the Nuclear Notebook––an authoritative open-source estimate of global nuclear forces and trends.Probably the scariest false alarm was in 1979, A training cassette that was simulating a massive attack with nuclear missiles from the Soviet Union on the United States was mistakenly entered into the primary computer system of North American Aerospace Defense Command, NORAD. And it was then broadcast to other command centers as if it was going out in the National Command Authority alert system. And because of that, the proper procedures were followed for a situation like this, where the fighter jets took off. The nuclear bombers, carrying nuclear weapons, were put into the sky, missile crews were put on high alert, which means the missiles are ready to launch within seconds. And the president's doomsday plane, which is essentially the war room in the sky for the president in emergency situations, was also put into the air. And it took six minutes for them to realize that this was a training cassette that had been mistakenly put into the system.Mackenzie Knight-BoyleBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.There can be good faith disagreements over the interpretation of the Constitution. But when you have a course of action which so systematically shows a favoritism towards limitless executive power towards corporations as well with regard to money and politics, no longer does it seem to be a matter of good faith, a disagreement, but it's a matter of advancing the partisan political interests of the president, the presidency, and that is, I think, an impeachable offense.Bruce Fein (on impeaching Supreme Court justices)News 7/4/251. The New York City Board of Elections has released the final results in the Democratic Mayoral primary – after accounting for reallocation of votes via ranked-choice tabulations. The final results are stunning. Zohran Mamdani, up by approximately seven points on election night, has emerged with a whopping 12-point victory over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Perhaps even more impressive, Mamdani completely reshaped the electorate. According to the New York Times, he turned out young people in record numbers to the point that the largest voter bloc in this election was 18–29-year-olds, a complete reversal of usual trends.2. Speaking of reversing trends, it is worth reviewing Zohran's victory in light of the groups he won by large margins. Namely men, including young men of all backgrounds, as well as Latino and Asian voters, per Jacobin. These are groups that Democrats have notably lost ground with, including in New York City, and have devoted considerable resources to winning back to their coalition. Zohran's win therefore should give Democrats a new sense of optimism and they should seek to embrace the winning course that he has charted.3. Of course, being the Democratic Party, they are instead doing the opposite. Despite his earthquake victory, few high-profile New York Democrats have endorsed Zohran. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has not, nor has Governor Kathy Hochul, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, or other powerful New York House Democrats like Gregory Meeks. The other U.S. Senator from New York, Kirsten Gillibrand, has been openly hostile, calling Zohran “permissive [of] violence against Jews,” in an interview with Brian Lehrer on WNYC. This is of course racist, inflammatory and flatly untrue. Under pressure from other Democrats, Gillibrand retracted her statement, and “apologized for mischaracterizing Mamdani's record and for her tone on the call,” according to POLITICO. This however gives us a taste of the kind of dirty tricks and defamatory rhetoric the party could deploy against Mamdani between now and November.4. That said, Zohran is picking up significant backing locally – an indication that those actually on the ground know which way the wind is blowing. On Monday, Mamdani was endorsed by the NYC Central Labor Council-AFL-CIO. The NYCCLC is “the nation's largest regional labor federation…[bringing] together 300 unions… [and representing] more than 1 million workers.” On Tuesday, he won the endorsement of New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, who represents Westchester, according to reporter Vaughn Golden. Zohran has already earned the endorsement of New York Attorney General Tish James. Expect this divergence between national and local Democratic figures to continue.5. In stark contrast to Zohran, whose political brand is defined by seemingly endless energy, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman shocked observers this week when he complained about having to do the bare minimum as a U.S. Senator. According to Rolling Stone, during Senate deliberations on the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Fetterman was quoted saying “I just want to go home. I've missed our entire trip to the beach.” Fetterman's comments are particularly galling seeing as he has been chronically absent from Senate hearings, committee meetings and even votes. In other words, Fetterman is complaining about doing the bare minimum for the people of Pennsylvania, but is failing to do even that.6. The bill did of course pass, with Vice-President JD Vance voting to break a 50-50 tie vote in the Senate. On Twitter, Vance justified his vote from criticism regarding its massive cuts to Medicaid by saying “The thing that will bankrupt this country more than any other policy is flooding the country with illegal immigration and then giving those migrants generous benefits. The OBBB fixes this problem. And therefore it must pass.” AOC called his vote, “An absolute and utter betrayal of working families.”7. In more news related to the bill, Trump and Elon Musk have been trading threats regarding its passage. On Monday, TIME reported Elon Musk tweeted, “If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uni-party, so that the people actually have a voice.” Musk added, “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame…they will lose their primary next year, if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.” Musk has also reportedly thrown his financial weight behind Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, perhaps the most vocal critic of Trump in the House Republican caucus. Trump is already backing a primary challenge against Massie; Musk intervening on the other side has turned this race into a climactic proxy battle between the two figures once called “co-presidents.”8. Trump, for his part, threatened to deport Elon Musk. Asked about this directly, Trump told reporters, “We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies,” per USA Today. This is of course true. Musk's companies have received billions in corporate welfare from the federal government over the years. It is unclear how much the stock value of, for instance Tesla, would suffer from the money faucet being turned off.9. Entertaining as Trump's threats to deport Musk are however, we should not lose sight of the ever-darker reality of deportation setting in nationwide. NOLA.com reports “An Iranian woman who has lived in the United States for 47 years, has no criminal record, and is married to a US citizen was detained by ICE as she gardened outside her New Orleans home.” Expect to hear more stories of secret police rounding up law abiding Americans in the days to come.10. Finally, in more positive news, Reuters reports China is quietly moving to rebuild Cuba's energy grid. This report notes that “Officials…announced China was participating in a project to modernize Cuba's entire electrical grid, with 55 solar parks to be built in 2025, and another 37 by 2028, for a total of 2,000 MW - a massive undertaking that, when complete, would represent nearly two-thirds of present-day demand.” Cuba joined China's international infrastructure development program Belt and Road in 2018. This report notes that China is taking on the development role that Russia formerly played in Havana, but has been unable to deliver on since it embarked on its special military operation-turned-quagmire in Ukraine. Cuba's energy grid has experienced continue failures for the past several years for myriad reasons, exacerbated by Trump's increasingly draconian sanctions regime. This is just another example of a reality becoming increasingly clear to much of the world: the U.S. tears down developing countries' infrastructure, China helps build it up.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

At Glastonbury, Britain's biggest music festival, two artists called out Israel's genocide in Gaza and accused the British government of complicity. On-stage remarks by one of them - Bob Vylan - plunged the country's public broadcaster, the BBC, which livestreamed the performance, into yet another Gaza-shaped row. Contributors: Des Freedman – Author, The Media Manifesto Peter Oborne – Journalist and broadcaster Karishma Patel – Former newsreader, BBC Justin Schlosberg – Professor of Media and Communications, University Of Westminster On our radar: In the United States, Zohran Mamdani has secured the Democratic nomination for New York mayor, despite relentless media attacks that focus less on his policies and more on his outspoken stance against Israel's war on Gaza. Tariq Nafi reports. Palestinians are seen as some sort of existential threat, just for being there While debates rage in international media over phrases like “from the river to the sea” and “death to the IDF,” far less scrutiny falls on the anti-Palestinian abuse that has become normal inside Israel - from pop songs to viral chants. Palestinian analyst Abdaljawad Omar joins us from Ramallah to unpack this everyday Israeli racism. Featuring: Abdaljawad Omar – Lecturer, Birzeit University

A contractor who worked at aid distribution sites in Gaza says he saw colleagues firing on Palestinians waiting for food. The GHF categorically denies the allegations. Also: objects in space, and big Roman footwear.

Fólk á ekki að þurfa leggja líf sitt að veði til að sækja sér neyðaraðstoð, en þannig er staðan á Gaza. 170 hjálparsamtök fordæma hvernig hjálpargögnum er dreift og krefjast þess að GHF hætti þar störfum.

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. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will embark on his third trip to to Washington early next week to meet with US President Donald Trump. This comes alongside increased pressure to end the war in Gaza and perhaps the potential of a domino-type deal between Israel and regional players. Berman speaks about reports that Israel and Syria are holding “advanced talks” on a bilateral agreement halting hostilities between the countries. Could this lead to Syria joining the Abraham Accords? And what position does this put Turkey in, even as its neighbor, Iran, just suffered a defeat at the hands of the US and Israel. Israel’s military chief has advised cabinet ministers against ordering the Israel Defense Forces to expand operations in the Gaza Strip, over fears that doing so could significantly endanger the lives of hostages still held in the Palestinian enclave, according to Hebrew media accounts Monday. Berman speaks about the terrible decision that has faced Israel's political echelons for almost 21 months -- hostages or defeating Hamas -- and how Israeli soldiers in Gaza will likely increasingly be on Hamas's radar as long as no decision is taken. At least 11 people in Gaza were killed yesterday in the area of a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution center, according to local Palestinian media outlets. Also Monday, the military admitted in a statement that it has killed several civilians near aid sites in recent weeks and said it has learned lessons that will avoid similar incidents in the future. Berman recently spoke with the head of GHF, Reverend Johnnie Moore Jr. He brings us highlights from their conversation. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

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."

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. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Two Israeli soldiers were killed fighting in separate incidents in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis on Monday. Cpt. Tal Movshovitz, 28, from Re’ut, was killed by an explosive device planted in a building.Hours later, Staff Sgt. Naveh Leshem, 20, from Nokdim, was killed, and 10 other soldiers were wounded. Berman addresses the rumors of progress towards a negotiated deal to get the hostages out and a ceasefire in the Strip. What is happening in the war and what has changed? Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday did not rule out plans to target Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Instead, he suggested that it would be a surefire way to “end the conflict” with the Islamic Republic. Berman updates us on other statements from the prime minister -- in English and Hebrew. Downtown Tehran appears to be emptying out, with many shops closed, including in the city’s ancient Grand Bazaar, perhaps in light of US President Donald Trump’s impromptu evacuation call for the entire city of Tehran Monday night, citing what he said was the country’s rejection of a deal to curb nuclear weapons development, as the conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic appeared poised for further escalation. Berman explains what happened in the G7 and where the war could be turning. French authorities erected black partition walls around Israeli company exhibits displaying offensive weapons systems at the Paris Air Show overnight Sunday, hours before the event opened at Le Bourget Airport. Berman weighs in, explaining the nuance of the situation -- and why this is hardly the first time Israel is singled out at this show.

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 Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. Magid offers the latest on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with recent reports of staffers killed and perhaps taken captive by Hamas terrorists, as well as the possibility of some 25 Palestinians killed at one of the aid sites. Magid reviews the latest Hamas claims and GHF responses, discussing the confusion in this ongoing initiative. As the French and Saudis host a UN conference next week advancing a two-state solution, Magid says there is speculation whether France will use it as an opportunity to declare a Palestinian state, making it the most prominent country in the West to do so, while remaining an ally of Israel. Magid says there is still much indecision about the unilateral step, which could interfere with the ongoing hostage negotiations and with concerns about how Israel would react. Talks with Iran continue, with US President Donald Trump publicly criticizing the Iranian republic for not negotiating seriously. Magid looks at some of the serious steps being taken by the US to shield US personnel in the Middle East, possibly indicating that an attack is coming, either by the US or Israel. Following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent video statement about possible progress in hostage talks, which was dismissed by others, Magid notes that the recent phone conversation between Trump and Netanyahu points to the US president's intention that the war in Gaza needs to end, despite the Israeli government's interest in contining the military pressure in Gaza.

At the beginning of this month, Israel and its apologists ferociously denied claims that IDF troops had fired upon civilians seeking aid at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site, killing 31 people. On the second of June, Israeli forces again opened fire on civilians seeking aid in Gaza, killing three people and injuring more than 30. On June 3, Israeli forces again opened fire on civilians seeking aid, reportedly killing at least 27 people. The US/Israeli-backed GHF temporarily suspended operations after this spate of mass shootings. On June 8, Israeli forces again fired upon civilians seeking aid at two separate distribution points in Gaza, killing twelve. On June 9, Israel and Israeli-backed forces opened fire on a crowd at an aid site in Gaza, killing 14. And on June 10, at least 36 people were reported killed and 208 wounded when Israeli forces again fired on crowds seeking aid in Gaza. Reading by Tim Foley.

Israel’s new controversial aid initiative in Gaza and its support for the Abu Shabab criminal gang rivaling Hamas share the common goal of helping Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prolong the war, journalist Nir Hasson said on the Haaretz Podcast. “Netanyahu must preserve the radical right-wing fantasy of ethnic cleansing in Gaza for political survival. For this, he needs the war to continue,” said Hasson, who covers the humanitarian toll of the war for Haaretz. Hasson said that until “we have any other proof” of who is behind the shadowy Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, he regards it as “a proxy of the State of Israel.” Therefore, he said, Israel’s leaders are responsible for the “humiliating” and “dangerous” scenes at GHF aid distribution sites. In his conversation with host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Hasson also discussed his Haaretz investigation into the failure of Israel’s evacuation warnings to protect civilians in Gaza. “In Gaza, there is nowhere to run. Even the IDF safe zones are not safe,” he said. “Israel has really pushed the civilian population of Gaza to the edge.” The unprecedented level of destruction and human suffering there, Hasson said, has reached the point where “I can’t find the words anymore to describe the way I feel about what we’re doing in Gaza. And I'm not alone in this feeling. [There are] more and more Israelis around me that think that it's gone too far. “If we had the excuse of not taking humanitarian issues into consideration because of the trauma of October 7 – it's about time to start talking about it. …I hope we'll see it more, but it's not going fast enough.” Subscribe to Haaretz.com for up-to-the-minute news and analysis from Israel in English.

President Donald Trump has made the “big, beautiful bill” a hallmark piece of legislation for his administration. However, the bill's most vocal opponent has been one of Trump's closest allies. Elon Musk, the world's richest man and former head of DOGE, has called out the bill for increasing the debt ceiling. Musk has been pushing for legislators to kill the bill. In a press conference with German chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump responded to a question about Musk and shared his disappointment in the billionaire. It's created a war of words between the president and the billionaire. Could the public spat signal the downfall of Trump's spending plan?A humanitarian aid organization in Gaza backed by the US and Israel is under scrutiny. The newly founded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been criticized by more established aid groups for a lack of transparency and infrastructure following attacks on Palestinians as they attempted to receive food and resources delivered by GHF. Israel's government says the group is necessary because of a lack of trust in groups like the United Nations and Amnesty International. But is their ability to handle the massive undertaking of providing aid to Gaza compromised?How does support for overarching policies shift when those policies hit closer to home? KCRW discusses the dilemma facing a small Missouri town.

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. US President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation banning travel from certain countries, citing national security concerns — and pointedly, the DIY flamethrower attack on Sunday in Boulder, Colorado. Magid explains which nations are -- and are not -- affected, and discusses the new ban on foreign students at Harvard University. For the first time since Trump took office, the United Nations Security Council discussed and voted on a substantive resolution related to the war in Gaza. The resolution, which was vetoed by the United states, called for a ceasefire, release of the hostages and surge of humanitarian aid into the Strip. Magid weighs in on the significance of the vote. Mediators are reportedly optimistic that Hamas will soon submit an updated hostage deal proposal that will be closer to what US special envoy Steve Witkoff presented last week, three sources familiar with the matter told Magid. But does this optimism have any grounds? What's changed? The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced that its aid distribution sites would again not open on Thursday morning to give time for the US- and Israeli-backed organization to carry out logistical work needed to accommodate larger crowds. We discuss this aid effort in the context of other, now suspended attempts, such as air drops from Jordan. Israel decided to block a Saudi-led delegation from visiting the West Bank earlier this week. It would have been the first visit by a Saudi foreign minister since Israel took over the West Bank in 1967, and had been intended to boost the legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority as a viable candidate to replace Hamas as the governing body of Gaza after the war. Magid adds nuance and context to this decision and its repercussions. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
