Trump says he thinks Europe will help Gaza aid
President Donald Trump says he believes the European Union will make more money to support hungry Palestinians in Gaza.
“We want it to be one at a time. They need food. They need to be able to get their food,” he told reporters.
The EU was the world’s largest provider of aid to Palestinians when aid was allowed to pass.
Trump also spoke about setting up a “food centre” under Israeli control, saying, “I think they can do a good job with it. They want to govern the food centres to ensure distribution is appropriate.” It was not clear how it differed from the Israeli-sponsored American contractor who opened an aid distribution center in Gaza in May. Chaos surrounds what the system means as an alternative to an unsupported system.
Trump said he last spoke with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu two days ago.
The UN Conference supports solutions for two states
The high-level UN conference has given Israeli-Palestinian conflicts “unwavering support” for two state solutions, calling for Israel to commit to the Palestinian state.
The non-binding declaration adopted at a meeting at the UN General Assembly sets out a “specific time-bound action plan.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed the solution for the two states, and his government and close allies boycotted the meeting.
The declaration’s plan envisages the Palestinian authorities to control and control all Palestinian territory, and a transitional control committee established under the umbrella after the ceasefire in Gaza.
The plan also supports the deployment of a “temporary international stabilization mission” operated under the auspices of the United Nations to help transfer security to Palestinian authorities.
The UK Foreign Secretary defends the terms of the Palestinian state
British Foreign Secretary David Lamy defends the UK’s decision on the recognition of the Palestinian state in September if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire and a long-term peace process.
“What we tried to do is affect the situation on earth and we sincerely hope that the pain we saw will be dramatically improved and commitment to a ceasefire.”
The UK’s announcement came the day after President Donald Trump met with the British Prime Minister. Rammy was asked if Trump was given a heads-up.
The United States and the UK have a “most special” relationship, but Ramie replied, “It is always clear that no country rejects the strict decisions it has made in the UK.”
Applause at UN Conference for UK Statement
Unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza and implements measures for long-term peace, the UK’s Foreign Secretary was praised at a UN meeting after the UK announced in September that it would recognize the Palestinian state.
David Lamy spoke at a ministerial meeting on two state solutions to the Israeli-Palestine conflict. He was soon interrupted by loud, lasting applause in the UN General Assembly Hall.
Ramie also said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government’s rejection of the two states’ solution was “morally wrong and strategically wrong,” and stressed that it would hurt the Israeli people by closing the only path to peace.
France welcomes UK announcement on the Palestinian state
France welcomed the announcement of British Prime Minister Kiel Starmer in September that Britain would recognize the Palestinian state unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza and take measures to ensure long-term peace.
Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron made a surprising diplomatic gamble in September by announcing that France was acknowledging Palestine.
French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Barott posted on social media that “through this important decision and our joint efforts, we are ending an endless cycle of violence and reopening the outlook for peace in our region.”
Palestinians chase air drops into the sea
Palestinian scores in Gaza town of Zawaida swam into the sea and retrieved what they could do from the aid airdrop.
Kamel Qoraan returned to the shore carrying a bag of tea powder soaked, saying the Airdrop Aid was “humiliating” and wanted the opening of a truck boundary intersection. The UN and partners say the trucks will provide far more aid.
Associated Press reporters in Gaza said much of the airdropped aid had fallen into the so-called red zone where Israel ordered people to evacuate.
Some people were relieved to get anything. A boy smiled as he clutched a small bag of flour. One man had a can of beans. Momen Abu Etayya said his son urged him to chase the airdrop and was driven into the sea. “I was able to take him three biscuits,” he said.
Britain will recognize Palestine in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire
British Prime Minister Kiel Starmer said that unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza and takes a step towards long-term peace, Britain will recognize the Palestinian state in September.
The priority position told the minister at a rare summer cabinet meeting that Britain would recognize Palestine before the UN General Assembly.
EU humanitarian teams are not allowed to enter Gaza, officials say
According to a senior European Commission official, teams of the European Union’s humanitarian aid agencies are “not permitted” to join a convoy heading to Gaza by Israel. Officials were not permitted to be made public in accordance with EU policies.
The EU “had not received a compelling explanation” from Israeli military or foreign services, officials said. There were no immediate Israeli comments.
The EU has attempted to monitor food and fuel delivery in Gaza under a new aid agreement with Israel. At least 160 trucks need to enter Gaza every day with 200,000 liters of fuel, and more boundaries should be opened.
However, the EU does not have adequate evidence that Israel had finished the bargain, officials said.

WFP says half of what they want to enter Gaza have reached it
The UN World Food Programme says that only about half of the aid that Israel has requested to enter Gaza have reached the territory after it eased entry restrictions over the weekend.
WFP hopes to enter 100 trucks per day on territories of over 2 million people as starvation increases.
Ross Smith, director of the UN agency emergency, says there is no “ground follow-through” including faster clearance and approval of aid trucks. He says, “We need to do a large effort for several weeks at a time.”
The draft says the minister will make an “unwavering commitment” to the two states’ solutions
The draft UN Conference says foreign ministers will make an “unwavering commitment” to the two states’ solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Documents obtained by the Associated Press will underscore “the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under Palestinian authorities.”
They also invite all countries that do not recognize the Palestinian state to do so, “it urges countries that have not yet done so to establish normal relations with Israel.” The draft was spread for comments by the conference co-chair France ahead of the final day of Tuesday’s meeting.

Top UN officials say Gaza’s hunger alerts are “undeniable”
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said a new warning about Gaza from international authority on the world’s leading food crisis “confirms what we were afraid of: Gaza is on the brink of hunger.”
“There are facts – and they cannot be denied,” Guterres said in a statement. “The Palestinians of Gaza are enduring the humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions. This is not a warning. It is a reality unfolding before our eyes.” He once again called out the strip for a free, unhindered flow of food, water, medicine and fuel, saying, “The trickle of aid must become the ocean.”
Germany will take part in the air drop effort in Gaza
German Prime Minister Friedrich Merz said two of his country’s military aircraft are taking part in aid to Gaza on their way to Jordan.
Meltz said two Airbus A400m planes could take part in the Airdrop by the end of the weekend after meeting King Abdullah II of Jordan on Tuesday.
Abdullah admitted that airdrops are “a decline in the ocean,” but “sends Israel a signal and pressure that we are doing our best.” He insisted that “truck traffic should be started as soon as possible.”
France joins the airdrop in Gaza
French diplomatic sources say France will implement a humanitarian air drop in Gaza in the coming days. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with government policies.
The official highlighted that airdrops are not intended to replace large-scale relief efforts. France is also working to establish Overland delivery, describing it as “the most effective solution to provide large-scale, unhindered humanitarian relief.”
