US reporter criticises US media's 'complicity' in deaths of Palestinian journalists
Multimedia reporter Marina Watanabe has accused US media of being "complicit" in the deaths of five Al Jazeera staff who the Israeli military killed in an intentional drone strike while they were in a media tent stationed outside of al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. In a post on X on Monday, the former LA Times reporter said the publication had prevented her and 100 of her colleagues from covering Palestine for three months: "Shortly after the Gaza genocide began, I signed an open letter demanding that Israel stop killing journalists. @latimes [LA Times] punished me and 100 of my colleagues and banned us from covering Palestine for 3 months. I will never forgive US media for its complicity in their deaths". US publications such as The New York Times, CNN and others have been under fire for inaccurate and biased reporting on Israel's war on Gaza.

Israel bombards Gaza City overnight; Hamas leader due in Cairo for ceasefire talks
Israeli planes and tanks kept bombarding eastern areas of Gaza City overnight, killing at least 11 people, witnesses and medics said on Tuesday, with Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya due in Cairo for talks to revive a US-backed ceasefire plan. The latest round of indirect talks in Qatar ended in deadlock in late July with Israel and Hamas trading blame over the lack of progress on a US proposal for a 60-day truce and hostage release deal. Israel has since said it will launch a new offensive and seize control of Gaza City, which it captured shortly after the war's outbreak in October 2023 before pulling out. It is unclear how long a new Israeli military incursion into the sprawling city in north Gaza, now widely reduced to rubble, could last or how it would differ from the earlier operation. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to expand military control over Gaza, expected to be launched in October, has increased a global outcry over the widespread devastation of the territory and a hunger crisis spreading among Gaza's largely homeless population of over two million. It has also stirred criticism in Israel, with the military chief of staff warning it could endanger surviving hostages and prove a death trap for Israeli soldiers. It has also raised fears of further displacement and hardship among the estimated one million Palestinians in the Gaza City region. Witnesses and medics said Israeli planes and tanks pounded eastern districts of Gaza City again overnight, killing seven people in two houses in the Zeitoun suburb and four in an apartment building in the city centre. In the south of the enclave, five people including a couple and their child were killed by an Israeli airstrike on a house in the city of Khan Younis and four by a strike on a tent encampment in nearby, coastal Mawasi, medics said. The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports and that its forces take precautions to mitigate civilian harm. Separately, it said on Tuesday that its forces had killed dozens of militants in north Gaza over the past month and destroyed more tunnels used by militants in the area. MORE DEATHS FROM STARVATION, MALNUTRITION Five more people, including two children, have died of starvation and malnutrition in Gaza in the past 24 hours, the territory's health ministry said. The new deaths raised the number of deaths from the same causes to 227, including 103 children, since the war started, it added. Israel disputes the malnutrition fatality figures reported by the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave. The war began on October 7, 2023 when Hamas-led fighters stormed over the border into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli figures, in the country's worst ever security lapse. Israel's ground and air war against Hamas in Gaza since then has killed more than 61,000 Palestinians, left much of the enclave in ruins and wrought a humanitarian disaster with grave shortages of food, drinking water and safe shelter. Netanyahu, whose far-right ultranationalist coalition allies want an outright Israeli takeover and re-settlement of Gaza, has vowed the war will not end until Hamas is eradicated. A Palestinian official with knowledge of the ceasefire talks said Hamas was prepared to return to the negotiating table. However, the gaps between the sides appear to remain wide on key issues including the extent of any Israeli military withdrawal and demands for Hamas to disarm, which it has ruled out before a Palestinian state is established. An Arab diplomat said mediators Egypt and Qatar have not given up on reviving the negotiations and that Israel's decision to announce its new Gaza City offensive plan may serve to bring Hamas back to the negotiating table.

Hind Rajab Foundation files case to ICC over killing of Gaza journalists
The Hind Rajab Foundation and Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) have said they will file a joint complaint to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in an Israeli air strike on Sunday. They also call for the ICC to include all journalist killings in Gaza in its Palestine investigation. 'The evidence is there,' the Hind Rajab Foundation wrote. 'The legal foundation is unshakable. The jurisdiction is established beyond question. What remains is for the International Criminal Court to move past statements of 'grave concern' and take the decisive step that justice demands: act.' The investigation identified senior Israeli military officials within the chain of command, and the PCHR gave details of other Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel after being targeted by public smear campaigns. The complaint accuses the named individuals of war crimes and genocide.
