The UAE has carried out its 61st humanitarian airdrop over Gaza as part of the “Birds of Goodness” mission. Reports claim some containers may have fallen into the sea, triggering further chaos amid desperate conditions. In addition to airlifts, 20 aid trucks were sent into Gaza, where hunger deaths continue to rise. UN agencies report seizures and looting of aid, while Hamas declares it will only allow access to hostages if Israel halts airstrikes and opens corridors. Despite international efforts, the humanitarian crisis shows no sign of easing.

The prime minister's spokesman has refused eight times to confirm whether recognition of Palestine could go ahead if Hamas remain in power and the hostages are.. Sky News
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unleashed a fiery statement accusing Hamas of “starving Israeli hostages like the Nazis starved the Jews.” The explosive comment comes after the release of harrowing Hamas propaganda videos showing two visibly emaciated Israeli captives inside a Gaza tunnel. Netanyahu didn’t hold back, calling the captors “Hamas monsters with thick, fleshy arms” who enjoy full meals while the hostages waste away. The shocking Nazi comparison has sparked outrage and debate across global diplomatic circles. Is this a turning point in Israel’s messaging war? Or a glimpse into the unimaginable conditions hostages are facing underground in Gaza?

Hamas has issued a chilling ultimatum: no Red Cross access to Israeli hostages unless Israel fully halts its airstrikes and permanently opens all humanitarian corridors into Gaza. With hostages visibly starving and dying in captivity, this standoff has ignited global outrage. Netanyahu compares Hamas tactics to Nazi-era starvation, while families of the captives demand immediate intervention. Is Hamas weaponizing aid — or is this the only leverage they have left? This report breaks down the latest escalation in the hostage-aid war.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing intense criticism after allegedly caving to Donald Trump’s aggressive trade demands out of fear that the U.S. might slash military support to Ukraine or withdraw troops from Europe. According to the Sunday Times, von der Leyen accepted a harsh 15% tariff on most EU exports during a visit to Trump’s golf course in Scotland—scrapping a counter-tariff plan her officials had prepared.
Brussels also pledged $600 billion in U.S. investments and $750 billion in American energy purchases. Leaders like Macron and Orban slammed the deal, with the latter claiming Trump “ate her for breakfast.” Backlash is growing in the EU, where von der Leyen faces rebellion over military spending, vaccine scandals, and dwindling parliamentary support. With Trump’s “posture review” looming, the EU’s strategic future hangs in the balance. Critics say this may be von der Leyen’s final chance to recover politically.

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.”
Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis.

A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake—now ranked as the sixth strongest in history—has struck Eastern Russia, triggering tsunami alerts across the Pacific. French President Emmanuel Macron issued an emergency warning for French Polynesia, mobilizing government forces and urging residents to follow safety protocols. France and parts of the U.S. Pacific coast are on high alert. Reports confirm fatalities in Japan, while Hawaii beaches remain crowded despite imminent danger. The world watches as this natural disaster unfolds with devastating force.

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. Analysts see the conference as a major challenge to Israeli annexation efforts and U.S.-led diplomacy.

Gaza Aid Attacks have turned humanitarian lifelines into death traps. Despite Israel’s July 27 pledge of daily military pauses, relentless strikes on aid routes have left over 1,373 Palestinians dead since May 27 — many killed while simply searching for food. In Zikim, Khan Younis, Middle Gaza, Rafah, and Deir el-Balah, grieving families recount horror: children killed, homes destroyed, and flour stained with blood. As food convoys are bombed and chaos engulfs distribution, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. The Gaza Aid Attacks are now symbolic of the deadly collapse of international protection in war zones.

As global momentum builds for Palestinian statehood, pressure is mounting on Donald Trump. Over a dozen U.S. House Democrats, led by Rep. Ro Khanna, have penned a letter urging the Trump administration to formally recognize a Palestinian state. Citing the ongoing war in Gaza and recent moves by France and the U.K., lawmakers warn that the U.S. risks diplomatic isolation if it doesn’t act. The letter references the 22-state Arab League plan and stresses the need for mutual security guarantees for both Israel and Palestine. Some Democrats, including Rep. Al Green and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, is also pushing for further congressional action.
