Greta Thunberg to join next mass international flotilla to Gaza
The flotilla will consist of 50 ships with activists from a total of 44 countries and will set sail from Spain on August 31 and from Tunisia on September 4.

This marks Thunberg's second journey to Gaza on a boat. In June 2025, Greta Thunberg joined Freedom Flotilla's "Madleen" boat alongside other fellow human rights activists, including French MEP Rima Hassan, Thiago Avila, Baptiste Andre, and more, who, upon nearly reaching Gaza's shores, were detained by Israeli officers and sent back home.
Similar efforts from fellow pro-Palestine activists were made after setting sail on board the Freedom Flotilla's "Handala" boat in July 2025.
The movement hopes to end the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, and break the siege to let in humanitarian aid into the Strip for the starving Palestinians. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in the killing of more than 61,000 Palestinians and has left over 153,000 injured.
According to the UN World Food Programme (WFP), over 500,000 Gazans are on the brink of famine after going without food for days. 222 Palestinians, including 101 children, have died from starvation, with the numbers rising every day.

Israeli military says approved plan for new Gaza offensive
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it had approved the framework for a new offensive in the Gaza Strip, as Hamas condemned what it called "aggressive" Israeli ground incursions in Gaza City. The approved plan for the expanded offensive comes days after Israel's security cabinet called for the capture of the Palestinian territory's largest city following 22 months of war that have created dire humanitarian conditions. Israeli armed forces chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir approved the main framework for the army's operational plan in the Gaza Strip, a statement released by the army said. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has not provided a precise timetable for when Israeli troops will enter Gaza City, where thousands have taken refuge after fleeing previous offensives. Ismail Al Thawabta, director general of the Hamas government media office in Gaza, told AFP on Wednesday that "the Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out aggressive incursions in Gaza City". "These assaults represent a dangerous escalation aimed at imposing a new reality on the ground by force, through a scorched-earth policy and the complete destruction of civilian property," he added. Sabah Fatoum, 51, who lives in a tent in the city's Tal Al Hawa neighbourhood told AFP by phone that "the explosions are massive" in the area. There are "many air strikes and tanks are advancing in the southern area of Tal Al Hawa with drones above our heads", she said. Abu Ahmed Abbas, 46, who lives in a tent in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, said that tanks had been advancing into the southeastern part of Zeitoun and southern Tal Al Hawa "for several days" and demolishing houses. "The air strikes are extremely intense, they have intensified, and sometimes there is artillery shelling since last Sunday," he said. 'Just escaped death' Gaza's civil defence agency also reported intensified Israeli air strikes on residential neighbourhoods of Gaza City in recent days. Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that Israeli attacks had killed at least 40 people across the territory on Wednesday. AFP footage from Gaza City on Tuesday showed Palestinians fleeing Israeli strikes on the Zeitoun and Asqoola neighbourhoods using overloaded carts, vans and bikes. "I didn't bring a mattress or anything, and we just escaped death and now we're running away and we don't know where to go," said displaced Palestinian Fidaa Saad. Israel's plans to expand its offensive into Gaza City come as diplomacy aimed at securing an elusive ceasefire and hostage release deal has been stalled for weeks, with the latest round of negotiations breaking down in July. Egypt said Tuesday it was still working with fellow Gaza mediators Qatar and the United States to broker a 60-day truce "with the release of some hostages and some Palestinian detainees, and the flow of humanitarian and medical assistance to Gaza without restrictions". Hamas said early Wednesday that a senior delegation had arrived in Cairo for "preliminary talks" with Egyptian officials. Israel's plans to expand the fighting have sparked international outcry as well as domestic opposition. Reserve and retired pilots who served in the Israeli air force rallied on Tuesday in Tel Aviv to demand an end to the conflict. "This war and expansion will only cause the death of the hostages, death of more Israeli soldiers, and death of many more innocent Palestinians in Gaza," said Guy Poran, a former air force pilot. Dire conditions UN-backed experts have warned of widespread famine unfolding in the territory, where Israel has drastically curtailed the amount of humanitarian aid it allows in. The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says at least 235 people including 106 children have died of hunger since the war began in October 2023, with many of the cases recorded in recent weeks. Netanyahu on Tuesday revived calls to "allow" Palestinians to leave Gaza, telling Israeli broadcaster i24NEWS that "we are not pushing them out, but we are allowing them to leave". Past calls to resettle Gazans outside of the war-battered territory, including from US President Donald Trump, have sparked fears of displacement among Palestinians and condemnation from the international community. Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel triggered the war. Of the 251 hostages taken during the attack, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. Israel's offensive has killed at least 61,722 Palestinians, according to figures from the health ministry in Gaza which the United Nations considers reliable.

Palestinian officials say Israeli settler kills one in West Bank clash
RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories — Palestinian officials said an Israeli settler shot and killed a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, while the army confirmed an off-duty soldier shot someone it said was throwing rocks. The confrontation marks the latest fatal clash in the Palestinian territory, where violence has surged since the start of the Gaza war. "Thameen Khalil Reda Dawabsheh [35 years old] was killed by settler gunfire in the town of Duma, south of Nablus," the Palestinian Authority's health ministry said in a statement. Contacted by AFP, Duma village council head Suleiman Dawabsheh said that a confrontation broke out when a group of Israeli settlers trespassed on land north of the town while farmers worked on their land. "A group of settlers arrived on a tractor and another vehicle, and immediately tried to kidnap a boy about 14-15 years old, taking him away," he told AFP. Dawabsheh said that residents managed to retrieve the boy, but that during the ensuing argument, "one of the settlers opened fire directly at the young man Thameen Dawabsheh". The army said in a statement that during engineering work near Duma, dozens of Palestinians hurled rocks towards Israelis including an off-duty soldier and a civilian, a term the army commonly uses to refer to settlers. The off-duty soldier, also a settler according to the mayor, fired warning shots at first, and when rock throwing continued, fired again until "a hit was identified". The army said that soldiers were then dispatched to break up the incident. "As a result of the rock hurling, the civilian and the soldier were lightly injured and received medical treatment at the scene," it added. Duma, a town in the northern West Bank, is a frequent theatre of settler violence. In 2015, a Palestinian couple and their baby burned to death after settlers attacked the village, a tragedy that residents remember to this day. In April 2025, hundreds of settlers attacked Duma and stabbed a villager after an Israeli teenager who often visited a nearby settlement outpost was found dead. The West Bank is home to around three million Palestinians, as well as about 500,000 Israeli settlers. Violence in the Palestinian territory, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has soared since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 triggered the Gaza war. Since then, Israeli troops and settlers have killed at least 968 Palestinians, including many militants, according to health ministry figures. Over the same period, at least 36 Israelis, including security forces, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, according to official figures.

Lebanon president tells Iran security chief he 'rejects all interference'
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told Iran's visiting security chief on Wednesday that he rejected any interference in the country's internal affairs, branding as "unconstructive" Iran's statements on plans to disarm Hizbollah. Iran's Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani's visit to Lebanon comes after the Lebanese government ordered the army to devise plans to disarm the Tehran-backed militant group Hizbollah. Following his arrival in Beirut, Larijani vowed that his government would continue to provide support, after it expressed opposition to the disarmament plan. "We reject any interference in our internal affairs," Aoun said, adding that "it is forbidden for anyone... to bear arms and to use foreign backing as leverage," according to a statement from the Lebanese presidency posted on X. Iran and its so-called "axis of resistance" have suffered a series of blows in their long-running rivalry with Israel. Iran and Israel went to war in June, with the United States stepping in briefly to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities. Hizbollah suffered devastating losses in a year of hostilities with Israel that ended with a November 2024 ceasefire. A month later, Syria's president Bashar al-Assad was ousted, depriving Hizbollah of its main conduit for weapons and supplies from Iran. Iran has declared its firm opposition to the Lebanese government's bid to disarm Hizbollah, while the movement itself has slammed the decision as a "grave sin". Weakening grip Before the war with Israel, Hizbollah was believed to be better armed than the Lebanese military. It long maintained it had to keep its arsenal in order to defend Lebanon from attack, but critics accused it of using its weapons for political leverage. In Beirut, Larijani vowed continued support. "If... the Lebanese people are suffering, we in Iran will also feel this pain and we will stand by the dear people of Lebanon in all circumstances," Larijani told reporters. As well as President Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Larijani was due to meet parliament speaker Nabih Berri, who is close to Hizbollah. Hizbollah's grip on power has slipped since the ceasefire with Israel and the new Lebanese government, backed by the United States, has moved to further restrain it. Iran's "axis of resistance" is a network of armed groups in the region, including Hamas in Gaza and Yemen's Huthi rebels, united in their opposition to Israel.
