Jeremy Bowen: Why some Palestinians I spoke to aren’t convinced by Starmer’s promise

Gaza Latest: 10 K#lled In Israeli Fire Near Aid Sites | Starvation Deaths And Hostage Crisis Spiral

At least 10 Palestinians were k#lled after Israeli fire targeted civilians near two Gaza aid sites, just as hunger-related deaths surged, with seven dying in 24 hours, including a child. Witnesses say Israeli troops opened fire on crowds near the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) site and at the Zikim crossing, days after a top U.S. envoy visited. The deadly incident follows the deaths of 859 Palestinians near GHF zones since May. Meanwhile, starvation claims more lives as food trucks remain blocked and airdrops prove insufficient. Hostage families fear their loved ones are starving too and demand a deal. As U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff meets families in Tel Aviv, pressure mounts on Israel to negotiate. Airstrikes on shelters and tents continue to k#ll civilians as Gaza plunges deeper into crisis. With 93 children now confirmed dead from malnutrition, the war's humanitarian cost is spiraling into catastrophe. #gaza #gazawar #israelpalestine #humanitariancatastrophe #aiddeaths #hostagecrisis #usenvoy #ghf #gazaairstrikes #malnutritiondeaths #gazachildren #gazaaid #trumpenvoy #rafah #zikim #nasserhospital #ghfshooting #foodblockade #gazastarvation #humanrights ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Israel In Turmoil As Anti-Govt Fury Erupts Over Gaza Bombings, Hostages | Netanyahu To Flee?

Tel Aviv witnessed emotional and politically charged protests as the war in Gaza and the unresolved hostage crisis continue to haunt Israel. On one end of the city’s beachside, left-wing Israeli activists staged a solemn vigil, holding up photos of Palestinian children killed during the months-long bombardment of Gaza. The haunting memorial served as a reminder of the devastating toll on civilians. Simultaneously, hundreds gathered outside the Defence Ministry headquarters demanding swift government action for the release of hostages still held captive by Palestinian militants since the Hamas-led October 7 attacks. The dual protests, though emotionally and ideologically different, reflect a nation torn between grief, anger, and the urgent desire for closure. As frustration grows, both against Hamas and within Israeli leadership, the demonstrations reveal deep cracks in public sentiment over how the Gaza war has been waged — and what it’s left behind. #TelAvivProtests #GazaWar #HostageCrisis #IsraelPalestine #October7Attack #WarToll #PalestinianChildren #HamasHostages #IsraeliProtest #GazaConflict #LeftWingActivism #DefenceMinistryProtest #IsraelUnrest #HostagesInGaza #GazaCasualties #ProtestForPeace #GazaWarDeaths #VigilForChildren #IsraelCracks #MiddleEastTensions ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.102~

‘REFUSE TO SERVE': Ex IDF Soldiers And Israelis Call Netanyahu’s Gaza War ‘Genocide’ |"IDF Stop.."

Thousands gathered in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest Israel’s war in Gaza, with former IDF soldiers and Palestinian activists demanding an immediate end to the conflict. Protestors urged mass civil disobedience and called on Israeli soldiers to refuse military service. Actor Yossi Zabari shocked many by saying “the word genocide frightens Israelis more than the act itself.” Peace organizers plan to set up a “struggle tent” in Tel Aviv as calls grow louder for an end to what they call a “government of death.” #TelAvivProtest #GazaWar #IsraelPalestine #StopTheWar #IDFRefusers #HabimaSquare #CivilDisobedience #EndTheWar #PeaceNow #RulaDaoud #GhadirHani #YossiZabari #GenocideDebate #GazaCeasefire #NetanyahuProtest #MarchForPeace #ProtestNews #MiddleEastCrisis #JewishArabUnity #StruggleTent #AntiWarMovement #VoicesForPeace #GazaCrisis #IsraelProtests #Activism #PeaceActivists #IDFProtest #NoMoreWar #StopGenocide #EndOccupation Also Read Killing Sinwar: A Victory, But What Comes Next for Netanyahu? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/killing-sinwar-a-victory-but-what-comes-next-for-netanyahu-3963615.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Dismisses US Appeal to End Rafah Offensive Ahead of Washington Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-rejects-us-request-to-stop-rafah-offensive-011-3781707.html?ref=DMDesc Bidens Directive on Military Aid: A Shift in Approach to Protect Civilians :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bidens-directive-military-aid-protecting-civilians-gen-3747487.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~
