The Arab League condemns Israeli plans to establish a camp for Palestinians in southern Gaza
The General Secretariat of the Arab League condemns in the strongest terms the recently circulated Israeli plans aimed at confining Palestinians to a small camp in the southern Gaza Strip.
The General Secretariat stresses that this plan, which the occupation calls a "humanitarian city," has nothing to do with civility or humanity.
The Arab League affirms that the plan—rejected in form and substance—reflects a new level of moral and ethical decline by the occupation and reveals an intention to continue its ethnic cleansing plan, reoccupy the Gaza Strip, and possibly prepare it for the expansion of settlements.
The General Secretariat of the League calls on the international community to strongly confront such inhumane plans, which recall the dark events of the twentieth century that the world was supposed to have overcome. It emphasizes that what is required now is to reach a ceasefire agreement as soon as possible, and for Israel to stop putting a spoke in the wheel, stalling, and creating every obstacle to avoid the ceasefire.

France will recognise State of Palestine: Macron - War on Gaza
French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday his country would formally recognise a Palestinian state during a UN meeting in September, the most powerful European nation to announce such a move. At least 142 countries now recognise or plan to recognise Palestinian statehood, according to an AFP tally -- though Israel and the United States strongly oppose the moves. Several countries have announced plans to recognise statehood for the Palestinians since Israel launched a bombardment of Gaza in 2023 in response to the October 7 attacks. Macron's announcement drew immediate anger from Israel, with Deputy Prime Minister Yariv Levin labelling it a "shameless decision" that would be a "direct aid to terrorism". Senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh welcomed the move, saying it "reflects France's commitment to international law and its support for the Palestinian people's rights to self-determination and the establishment of our independent state". 'Urgent priority' International concern is growing about the plight of the more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where the fighting has triggered a dire humanitarian crisis and warnings of mass starvation. Israel has rejected accusations it is responsible for Gaza's deepening hunger crisis, which the World Health Organization has called "man-made" and France blamed on an Israeli "blockade". Macron said the "urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and rescue the civilian population". "We must finally build the State of Palestine, ensure its viability and enable it, by accepting its demilitarisation and fully recognising Israel, to contribute to the security of all in the Middle East," he wrote on social media. He said he intended to make the announcement at the UN General Assembly in September. While France would be the most significant European power to recognise a Palestinian state, others have hinted they could do the same. Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced he would hold a call with counterparts in Germany and France on efforts to stop the fighting on Friday, adding that a ceasefire would "put us on a path to the recognition of a Palestinian state". Norway, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia all announced recognition following the outbreak of the Gaza conflict, along with several other non-European countries. Israel's military campaign in Gaza has killed 59,587 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

US Reaffirms Commitment to Gaza Ceasefire and Humanitarian Relief
H-Tayea The US Department of State has reaffirmed that Washington remains committed to supporting a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, with the primary goal of enabling the delivery of urgent humanitarian and relief assistance to civilians in the besieged territory. This statement comes amid intensifying international efforts to address the deepening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which has been subjected to continuous Israeli military operations since October 7, 2023. The crisis has been widely described by international observers and humanitarian agencies as one of the most severe in recent history, with entire neighborhoods destroyed and access to food, water, and medical care critically limited. The US administration's emphasis on securing a humanitarian ceasefire aligns with broader diplomatic initiatives aimed at halting the violence, facilitating emergency aid access, and opening space for negotiations toward a longer-term political resolution. Washington's position adds to growing global pressure on all parties to prioritize civilian protection, uphold international humanitarian law, and enable relief efforts in a region where over two million people remain trapped in conditions of extreme danger and deprivation. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
