The families of Israeli hostages Maxim Herkin and Bar Kuperstein have authorized the release of a deeply unsettling video snippet originally published by Hamas in April. This 44-second clip shows the two men, visibly distressed and pleading for their lives, as part of a strategic push by the families to secure a comprehensive hostage return deal with Hamas, rather than partial agreements. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has condemned what it calls "cruel selections," demanding the return of all hostages.

Hamas has indicated it is open to a ceasefire agreement but has effectively rejected the latest American-backed proposal, insisting that any deal must lead to a permanent end to the war in Gaza. This response comes after US President Trump announced the plan, urging Hamas to accept the terms before conditions worsen. While Israel has reportedly agreed to the initial terms, it maintains that the war will not officially end until its objective of dismantling Hamas is achieved.

Rama Duwaji—artist, activist, and wife of NYC Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani—has stepped into the spotlight after months of silence. The 27-year-old Syrian-American illustrator, known for her pro-Palestinian work, had avoided campaign publicity, sparking controversy and speculation. Critics claimed her art and political stance made her a liability.
But on June 24, as Mamdani celebrated his win, she stood beside him—silent, composed, present. Born in Texas, raised partly in Dubai, Duwaji's work explores Gaza, race, identity, and dissent. Her pieces have supported Palestinian students and questioned U.S. policies. She and Mamdani met on a dating app, married in a private ceremony, and have since become one of NYC’s most-watched political couples. Now, as Mamdani eyes City Hall, all eyes are on Rama Duwaji—the woman who may soon be NYC’s first lady.

Amal, a 7-year-old girl, is wasting away after months with only the bare minimum of food. Her parents took her to the Nasser hospital in Gaza hoping doctors could help, but an aid blockade has left them with few supplies. There is water to hydrate her, but no food formula or medicines to give her back some strength. Dr Ahmad Al-Farra, the head of paediatrics at Nasser Hospital, says Amal is "one of the most serious cases in our nutrition department", having lost nearly 50% of her weight. At this hospital alone more than sixty children have died due to starvation. ITV News reports from the hospital in southern Gaza, where her father admits he is "deeply afraid of losing her", as her condition deteriorates. Report by Brooksl.
