The 34th Arab League Summit in Baghdad is dominated by Gaza’s unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Iraq’s PM labelled Israel’s actions “genocide,” pledging $40 million for Gaza and Lebanon’s reconstruction. The summit follows President Trump’s controversial Gaza remarks during his Middle East tour. Leaders including Mahmoud Abbas and UN chief Guterres demand an immediate ceasefire, aid access, and legal accountability. Spain announced plans to push the ICC to examine Israel’s compliance with aid delivery laws, intensifying diplomatic pressure. A unified Arab plan calls for Gaza’s rebuilding without displacing its 2.4 million residents.

Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trump’s envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostage’s release. But according to Hamas, the U.S. “threw the deal in the trash” and delivered none of its commitments.

Israel has launched a new offensive in Gaza, codenamed Operation Gideon’s Chariots, aiming to defeat Hamas and reclaim hostages. The IDF has conducted extensive bombing and troop mobilization in strategic areas. Reports indicate plans to “conquer” the entire enclave and relocate Palestinians southward. Over 115 Palestinians were killed on Friday alone, according to Al Jazeera. The offensive follows the breakdown of a US-Egypt-Qatar-brokered ceasefire in March. Since the war began after Hamas' October 7 attack, more than 53,000 Palestinians have died, with human rights groups accusing Israel of genocide.

President Donald Trump has hinted at major developments in Gaza in the coming month, saying the U.S. wants to help Palestinians suffering amid the Israel-Hamas war. Speaking from Air Force One after his Middle East tour, Trump acknowledged the starvation crisis and emphasized helping “both sides.” Meanwhile, over 100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes. The IDF claims Hamas operates from civilian sites. The UN has warned of growing terror and humanitarian collapse in Gaza as the offensive escalates.
