While eyes turn to Iran, Israel commits massacre in Gaza killing 92 aid seekers in a day

ALBAWABA- As global attention focuses on the escalating Iran-Israel confrontation, Israeli occupation forces have carried out one of the deadliest assaults in Gaza in weeks, killing 92 Palestinians in a single day, most of them aid seekers and displaced civilians.
Gaza health authorities report that 64 were killed in Gaza City and northern Gaza alone, with dozens more wounded or missing. The toll includes children, women, and the elderly.
Disturbing footage has emerged from Al-Shatee camp showing an aid seeker burning alive, and another child lying in a pool of blood. In Nuseirat, Israeli fire on crowds gathered for food aid killed 90 and injured at least 60, according to Gaza's civil defense.

This marks the third aid massacre this week and adds to over 100 Palestinians killed while attempting to access food since Monday.
Al Jazeera's reporter, Anas Al-Shareef, confirmed that more than 55 civilians, including families and the elderly, were killed just this morning by Israeli fire on tent camps and gathering points in Gaza City.
He also documented a massacre near Al-Omari Mosque in Jabalia al-Balad, where 11 civilians were killed and dozens wounded. Jabalia has faced relentless shelling for days, with civilian homes systematically bombed.
Despite this, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to present Israel as the victim following Iran's retaliatory missile strikes, claiming Iranian targeting of the Soroka military hospital was a war crime, while ignoring Israel's own documented attacks on dozens of hospitals in Gaza and even strikes on Farabi Hospital and the Iranian Red Crescent.

Not just Gaza: Netanyahu-Trump meeting set to impact the ntire Middle East

ALBAWABA - As U.S. President Donald Trump gets ready to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Monday, the Middle East is preparing for what officials are describing as a potentially historic statement. According to Israeli sources, the two presidents might announce a truce in Gaza in addition to more extensive regional agreements involving nearby Arab nations. The Washington Post reports that Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon called the meeting "extremely significant," highlighting its strategic importance for Gaza and the region at large. Danon emphasized that the proposed truce "is not a commitment to end the war," but Israeli authorities highlighted that it would enable flexibility to resume operations if necessary. The anticipated declaration is interpreted as a component of President Trump's redoubled efforts to achieve a significant diplomatic triumph in the Middle East. Alongside the ceasefire in Gaza, normalization agreements with Israel's neighbors are apparently being worked on. Significantly, Israel and Syria have discussed a peace agreement that Damascus calls a "non-aggression pact." Two major proposals are being considered to settle the Golan Heights dispute, which is the main barrier to a formal agreement, according to the Israeli channel iNews24. In one possibility, Syria would regain a third of the key plateau, Israel would keep a third, and the other portion would be leased for 25 years. According to the second scenario, Syria would either regain or lease the remaining one-third of the land, with Israel holding the other two-thirds. In the meantime, the US is putting pressure on Lebanon to think about signing a peace deal with Israel. Following the recent fighting, which made Hezbollah's hold weaker, the initiative gained momentum. Disarming the organization and giving the Lebanese army complete command of the entire nation, however, are still prerequisites for advancement. Redrawing borders and Israeli disengagement from southern lands would be part of the agreement, if it were accepted. Following U.S. raids on Iranian nuclear sites and a mediated ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Trump met with Netanyahu. Though divisive among some of Trump's base who oppose new military interventions, the U.S. President remains confident a broader agreement is within reach. Fresh off the Iran campaign, Netanyahu and Trump aim to lock in gains with a Gaza deal, new regional alliances, and legacy-defining diplomacy. Can they redraw the map in the Middle East? ✍️@HerbKeinon

A new plan supported by the United States calls for a 60-day pause while talks for a longer-term truce are ongoing. In response, Hamas said in a statement released early Friday that it is eager to put an end to the conflict and that it is in consultation with Palestinian factions over the terms of the proposed truce. "We are consulting with the Palestinian factions on the most recent offer from mediators in order to put an end to the Zionist aggression and guarantee the uninterrupted delivery of aid," the statement said. The panel also stated that after those deliberations were over, it would make a final longevity of any possible truce continues to be the primary obstacle in the negotiations. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argues that any truce must be preceded by the removal of Hamas's military and political structures, Hamas insists on a complete and definitive end to the also known by his alias "Abu Sohaib," is said to be among the senior leaders who survived the October 7 strikes the longest. His close ally Raed Saad, another influential member of Hamas's military council, may also still be alive, according to intelligence reports. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stated in late May that Israel had planned to eliminate al-Haddad. According to documents that the Israeli forces in Gaza allegedly recovered, al-Haddad was instrumental in organizing the October attack. نيويورك تايمز الأميركية تنشر تقريرًا مطوّلًا عن القيادي الأبرز حاليًا في كتائب القسام "عز الدين الحداد"، وتقول إنه يتواجد حاليًا في مدينة غزة وفقًا لمعلومات استخباراتية إسرائيلية، وتضيف بأن "الحداد أبلغ قيادة حماس في الخارج بأنه يريد صفقة مشرّفة توازي حجم التضحيات في غزة" .. — Lebanon News 24/24 (@lebanon_news24) July 4, 2025 © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
