Freed British-Israeli hostage says Starmer not 'on right side of history' over Palestine recognition
Wednesday, 30 July 2025 () A British-Israeli woman who was held hostage by Hamas for more than a year has said Sir Keir Starmer is "not standing on the right side of history" after his conditional pledge to recognise Palestine as a state.
Europe’s powerful ‘E3’—Germany, France, and the UK—are signaling a major diplomatic rift with the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza crisis. After criticizing Israel’s blockade of aid and civilian deaths, France has recognized Palestine, while the UK has pledged recognition without a timeline....
Sir Keir Starmer hails US President Donald Trump's commitment to security guarantees for Ukraine, calling it “really productive” as he described the movement toward a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, wearing his trademark military jacket, was the focal point of the high-stakes White House meeting.

In a stunning battlefield reversal, the IDF admitted to its first major failure in southern Gaza after Hamas fighters launched a sudden tunnel ambush. Over 20 Hamas operatives emerged, splitting into groups and striking with rifles, grenades, and RPGs.

Just a day after Hamas approved a 60-day ceasefire deal, Israel launched fresh strikes across Gaza, killing at least 26 people, including women and children, according to Palestinian sources.

Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.
