UN Declares First Famine in Middle East But Saudis Keep Quiet| Netanyahu Says Will Destroy Gaza If..

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe. #GazaFamine #UNReport #StarvationCrisis #Palestine #GazaUnderSiege #HumanitarianCrisis #Blockade #MiddleEast #Israel #UNWarning #HungerCrisis #GlobalJustice #SaveGaza #PalestinianLives #UNAlert #GazaStarvation #MuslimNationsSilent #BreakingNews #WorldCrisis #IPCReport #HumanRights #FamineDeclared #Gaza ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

Ben Gvir DEFIES Protocols, Prays on Temple Mount | Arab States FUME, Warn of ‘Dangerous Escalation’

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.” #BenGvir #TempleMount #TishaBAv #AlAqsa #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEast #Jerusalem #StatusQuo #HolySite #ReligiousTensions #IsraeliPalestinianConflict #Netanyahu #PA #SaudiArabia #Jordan #AlAqsaMosque #DomeOfTheRock #JewishPrayer #BreakingNews #FarRightPolitics #InternationalCondemnation #AFPFootage #TempleMountVisit #ReligiousFlashpoint #MiddleEastNews #JerusalemConflict #HolySiteTensions #WorshipRights #GeoPolitics #ConflictZone ~ED.103~HT.408~

France & Saudi Arabia LEAD efforts for Palestinian Statehood | ‘2-State Solution’ in focus at the UN

France and Saudi Arabia are spearheading a new diplomatic push for Palestinian statehood, co-hosting a UN summit on July 28 in New York. President Macron announced France will officially recognize Palestine in September, a move hailed as “game-changing.” Dozens of nations are expected to attend, though Israel and the U.S. will boycott. European momentum for recognition is building amid Gaza war fatigue.

'I'm Looking For Getting People Fed…’ Trump Dodges Two-State Solution Question As Gaza War Rages On [Video]

'I'm Looking For Getting People Fed…’ Trump Dodges Two-State Solution Question As Gaza War Rages On

U.S. President Donald Trump has sidestepped a direct stance on the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying, "I'm looking for getting people fed right now. I think that's the number one position." His remarks come as global focus intensifies on the long-stalled peace process. Meanwhile, dozens of foreign ministers are set to gather at the U.N. for a delayed high-level conference—hosted by France and Saudi Arabia—to advance the roadmap toward a two-state solution. Both the U.S. and Israel have boycotted the summit, with Washington calling it “a gift to Hamas.” France is pushing for global recognition of a Palestinian state by September. As the war between Israel and Hamas continues into its 22nd month—with nearly 60,000 Palestinians killed—debates around peace, recognition, and security intensify. The conference seeks to balance Israel’s security concerns with the longstanding Palestinian demand for statehood. #Trump #TwoStateSolution #IsraelPalestine #GazaWar #UNConference #PalestinianState #MiddleEastPeace #TrumpNews #Macron #FranceUN #PalestineRecognition #SaudiArabia #Hamas #Israel #USPolitics #UNGA2025 #TrumpOnGaza #PeaceProcess #Jerusalem #GlobalDiplomacy ~HT.410~ED.194~
