6 civilians killed in Israeli occupation's bombing of west Gaza City
Ammon News - Six citizens were killed and others injured early Saturday morning in an Israeli airstrike west of Gaza City. Medical sources reported that four citizens were killed and others were injured as a result of the Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the Rimal neighborhood. The same sources announced the killing of Mohammed Riyad Foura and his wife, Jumana Aref Foura, when debris from a building collapsed on their tent after it was targeted in Gaza. They indicated that a number of those injured, waiting for aid, arrived at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City after being directly shot in the Al-Waha area. Meanwhile, Israeli fighter jets are launching a series of airstrikes targeting various areas of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City. Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched an assault on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing of 59,676 civilians, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 143,965 others. The occupation also commits horrific massacres against those waiting for aid, who are exposed daily to the risk of death due to indiscriminate fire and direct targeting. The number of Palestinians who have been killed since the implementation of the aid distribution points mechanism on May 27, 2005, has exceeded 1,000, with hundreds more injured. Thus, the aid distribution centers of the Israeli-American "Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation," a UN-rejected organization, have become traps for mass killings, in addition to the deliberate violation of citizens' dignity and their forced displacement amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions.

France, UK, Germany call for "immediate end" to war in Gaza
France, the United Kingdom, and Germany issued a joint call Friday for an 'immediate end to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza,' demanding unrestricted aid access and a ceasefire, as civilian suffering under the ongoing "Israeli" blockade and bombardment intensifies. The statement followed a call between French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It urged "Israel" to allow essential humanitarian assistance into Gaza and condemned the ongoing deprivation of aid to the civilian population as 'unacceptable.' The leaders expressed readiness to 'take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political process that leads to lasting security and peace for "Israelis", Palestinians, and the entire region,' though they did not specify what actions might follow. The announcement came just a day after Macron said France would formally recognize the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September, making it the first major Western power to do so. His move has exposed growing divisions within the European trio, commonly known as the E3, over how to address the humanitarian disaster. While all three countries support a two-state solution in principle, both the UK and Germany have stopped short of following France's lead. Germany reiterated it has no immediate plans to recognize a Palestinian state, while Prime Minister Starmer faces growing domestic pressure to do so. Earlier this week, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting warned recognition should happen 'while there's still a state of Palestine left to recognize.' By Friday, 221 of the 650 members of the British House of Commons had signed a letter urging Starmer to recognize Palestinian statehood. 'Since 1980, we have backed a two-state solution. Such a recognition would give that position substance,' the letter stated. Following the E3 call, Starmer condemned 'the continued captivity of hostages, the starvation and denial of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, the increasing violence from extremist settler groups, and Israel's disproportionate military escalation in Gaza.' He emphasized that recognizing a Palestinian state should be part of a broader pathway toward lasting peace. More than 140 countries around the world currently recognize a Palestinian state, including several in Europe. France is now set to become the first G7 member to formally take that step. "Israel" and the United States have both condemned France's decision.
