Aid entering Gaza is like 'a lifeboat after the ship has sunk', UN official says
The UN's envoy for the Middle East told the Security Council on Wednesday that Palestinians are sinking into an "abyss" with a "manmade" famine stalking the enclave.
"Since the resumption of hostilities in Gaza, the already horrific existence of civilians has only sunk further into the abyss. This is manmade," Sigrid Kaag, the UN's special coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, told the Council.
"Death is their companion," she continued. "It's not life, it's not hope. The people of Gaza deserve more than survival. They deserve a future."
The aid that is now coming in "is comparable to a lifeboat after the ship has sunk", she said

War on Gaza: The world is turning, but Israel has yet to reckon with its crimes
As the father of a four-year-old daughter and a newborn baby, as I watch the international response to the genocide in Gaza, I cannot help but wonder: at what age will my children cease to be considered children, and their lives be deemed less important? The world is shocked at the number of children being killed and starved in Gaza, but there remains no substantive critique of what Israel has done over these past 19 months to all Palestinians in Gaza. The threshold of demands has been lowered to merely alleviating the humanitarian crisis. Israel has succeeded in destroying Gaza's infrastructure, healthcare system, municipalities, education networks, families, mosques and churches - in short, every framework that organised human life. But now, having exhausted its 'target bank' and with nothing left to bomb, Israel is striking refugee tent camps and burning people alive. Such cruelty, along with the passage of time and mounting international pressure, have led to a turning point, both globally and within Israeli society. Despite the support provided to Israel by two successive US presidents and the consensus among Democrats and Republicans alike to give Israel a free hand, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to defeat Hamas or secure the release of the remaining hostages. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Across the spectrum, Israel's political establishment adopted a revenge narrative from day one, priming the Israeli public to be complicit in its forthcoming crimes. Israel's failure was not its inability to free the hostages or disarm Hamas. As early as November 2023, Israel could have reached a deal to free all the hostages, while various proposals have been advanced to settle the conflict, including bringing in other entities, such as the Palestinian Authority, to govern Gaza. But Israel's real objective is clear: to empty Gaza of its population. As Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's recent statements candidly reveal, the true aim of the war is to conquer Gaza, expel its Palestinian residents, and occupy the territory. This was the original intention all along. Strategic failures This has resulted in two strategic failures for Israel. Firstly, it has failed to compel Egypt and Jordan to participate in this scheme and accept Palestinian refugees. Israel's second failure is moral. The government and Israeli society itself have normalised a narrative of genocide and ethnic cleansing, defending this stance with euphemisms like 'voluntary migration' and 'encouraging relocation'. Follow Middle East Eye's live coverage of the Israel-Palestine war Now, with the intensification of international criticism, cracks have begun to appear in the Israeli consensus. The insistence of thousands of activists and media figures worldwide - Palestinian and non-Palestinian alike - to continue speaking out on Gaza has generated sufficient pressure to make an impact. This initially affected Israeli tourists, who discovered that most people around the world view genocide as an unforgivable atrocity, prompting Israel's foreign ministry to remind Israelis to suppress national symbols abroad, fuelling a silent boycott of Israeli academics and cultural figures. The West will scavenge for Israeli movements and leaders who speak out against the war, without offering a genuine moral alternative We are now seeing a shift in the tone of western foreign policies - late, but significant. The US administration's decision to hold direct negotiations with Hamas to secure the release of dual citizen Edan Alexander reinforced the feeling among Israelis that their government is not genuinely interested in advancing a hostage deal. Conversely, the US has grown weary of Israel, as evidenced by President Donald Trump's Middle East tour skipping over Israel. The shift in Israel's global standing was further evidenced by a recent Financial Times editorial titled 'The West's shameful silence on Gaza', as European threats to suspend trade agreements have begun to bite. French President Emmanual Macron has shifted his tone toward overt criticism, saying this week that European nations must 'harden the collective position' against Israel over Gaza's worsening humanitarian crisis. Even Germany's new chancellor said Berlin would not export weapons used to break humanitarian law, in a break from 19 months of loyal support for Israel's war. Within Israel itself, one of the most striking signs of fracture came in a recent statement from Yair Golan, leader of the Democrats party, who declared: 'A sane country does not fight against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not give itself the aim of expelling populations.' Golan, a former deputy military chief of staff, was disciplined two decades ago for employing the banned 'neighbour procedure' in field operations, a method in which civilians are used to persuade their neighbours to surrender to the army. The path forward This context suggests that Golan is no ethical pacifist. Rather, like many former Israeli generals, he realises that Israel is on its way to becoming a pariah state, incapable of surviving in the Middle East without western support. Indeed, many Israelis who were once fervent supporters of the war now frame the Gaza genocide as a political gambit for Netanyahu's survival. Yet this was a war many in Israeli society wanted and supported, including Golan himself. Today, public discourse in Israel oscillates between those who wish to continue the genocide, and those who are worried about the repercussions. This fracture is a byproduct of Israel's failure to ethnically cleanse Gaza, and the fact that it will have to face armed resistance for many years to come. Why the wall of silence on the Gaza genocide is finally starting to crack Read More » Amid this backdrop, Netanyahu's far-right coalition partners speak of returning settlements to Gaza, a move that would place Israel squarely on the blacklist of pariah states. Sadly, neither Golan nor others in Israel's political and civil spheres - not even those who oppose the war - are prepared to admit that the state has carried out a genocide. But still, the public backlash against Golan's remarks took its toll: days later, in a televised interview, he declared that Israel 'has not committed war crimes in Gaza'. During a visit to the southern city of Beersheba on Tuesday, angry Zionist crowds heckled and booed Golan, who - despite retracting his earlier statements - is now being portrayed around the world as a supposed alternative to Netanyahu, even though he offers no real alternative. Regrettably, this is likely to be the future: the West will scavenge for Israeli movements and leaders who speak out against the war, without offering a genuine moral alternative. Similar to the periods after the First and Second Intifadas, millions of dollars will flow into Israel's 'peace industry', which will talk about Arabs and Jews living together, without confronting the essential political questions that brought us to this reality. In the meantime, we must support every statement and initiative that contributes to ending the war - because what matters now is Gaza, and not only the children of Gaza, but also the youths, the women, the men and the elderly. To prevent further disaster, we must demand more from Israelis, including a real acknowledgment of their actions over the past 600 days.

China sets up international mediation body in Hong Kong
HONG KONG - China signed a convention setting up an international organisation for mediation in Hong Kong on Friday that Beijing hopes will be on par with the International Court of Justice and bolster the city's international credentials. The move comes amid growing geopolitical tensions that have been exacerbated by U.S. President Donald Trump's global trade war and fuelled risks of a sharp worldwide economic downturn. Escalating trade tensions between China and the U.S. have been a focal point for investors and markets in recent months, with the trade war leading to significant impacts on global commerce and supply chains. The mediation body aims to cement Hong Kong's presence as a top centre to resolve disputes between countries, leader John Lee said earlier this week, adding that it's status would be on par with the International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration of the United Nations in The Hague. It would help bring "substantial" economic benefits and job opportunities and stimulate various sectors including hospitality and transport, Lee said. Indonesia, Pakistan, Laos, Cambodia and Serbia were among the countries attending the signing ceremony. Representatives from 20 international bodies including the United Nations were also expected to join, public broadcaster RTHK said. A video shown at the signing, which was presided by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, said the scope of cases that would be handled include disputes between countries, between a country and nationals of another country and between private international entities. The mediation group could advance China's influence internationally and promote a more assertive role for the world's second-largest economy in global governance, some analysts said. Hong Kong's Justice Secretary Paul Lam said that the new body would help Hong Kong cope with challenges that arise when "hostile external forces are attempting to de-internationalise and de-functionalise" the city. Hong Kong tied with Singapore for second place, behind London, as the top choice for a seat of arbitration in 2025, according to the 2025 International Arbitration Survey conducted by Queen Mary University of London. The new organisation's headquarters will be located at a former police station in the bustling Wan Chai district, and is due to open by the end of this year or early 2026.

The world shouldn't spiral into an era of conflicts
The UN must act more decisively to end wars I write in reference to Jihan Abdalla's article US envoy optimistic latest Gaza ceasefire deal will be agreed (May 28): with military conflicts raging in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan, the future is frightening. The world had pinned its hopes on US President Donald Trump to end these wars. However, neither America nor an international body like the UN has been able to restore peace. I sometimes fear that another world war could begin, perhaps even by sheer accident. The problem is that, even though people and leaders of various nations are weary of these protracted wars, none of their efforts are restoring peace in any of the theatres. Nonetheless, the international community needs to keep trying. The UN was formed in part to prevent another world war. It must seize the initiative and show leadership. It should act. Now. Rajendra Aneja, Dubai Good call from Turkey I write in reference to Sarah Maisey's article Turkey plans to fine impatient plane passengers who stand up too early or block aisles (May 29): this is a very good decision. I have often seen passengers opening overhead cabins to get their bags out even before the plane has landed, with bags falling on top of the poor passengers who are seated in some unfortunate cases. Manori Rimona, Emerald, Canada I don't understand where passengers who stand up early want to go. We all have to get on the same bus to get to the terminal, to wait for our suitcases, to maybe get checked by customs officers. Victor Raphael, Kielce, Poland The solution is to organise disembarking in the same way as boarding, section by section. Duncan Lamont, Langbank, Scotland Taqa is well positioned I write in reference to Alvin R Cabral's article Abu Dhabi's Taqa keeping tabs on tariffs as it considers international expansion (May 29): Taqa's strategic positioning in Abu Dhabi is key to its resilience. With nearly half of its power generation capacity unaffected by tariffs, the company continues to drive energy innovation and stability. Jeff Excell, Sandhurst, South Africa Trump's university move will damage America's brand I write in reference to Ahmed S Almansoori and Shireena Al Nowais's article Emirati Harvard alumni criticise Trump plan to block overseas students (May 28): the Trump administration's recent plan to bar foreign students from attending Ivy League universities was unexpected and may have significant negative consequences. Experts suggest that it could adversely affect the US economy, particularly in sectors that benefit from international talent, such as technology, research and academia. Moreover, critics argue that the policy sends a discouraging message to global students, undermines the US's long-standing reputation for educational excellence, and potentially drives international talent to other countries like Canada, the UK and Australia. Emirati Harvard alumni, among others, voiced concern over the decision, stressing that such measures could harm not only international relations but also the academic and cultural diversity that fuels innovation in US institutions.
