Jazeera condemns 'Israeli' killing of Gaza reporters Anas Sharif, Mohammed Qraiqea
The network described the killing of its reporters as a blatant and deliberate attack on press freedom. It held the 'Israeli' military and government responsible for targeting and murdering members of its journalistic team.
The 'Israeli' army explicitly acknowledged targeting the Al Jazeera press tent near the Al-Shifa Hospital complex. This attack occurred amid a horrific humanitarian crisis caused by the ongoing 'Israeli' aggression, which has witnessed numerous massacres.
The network said that the "killing of Anas Al-Sharif, one of Gaza's bravest journalists, and his colleague was a desperate attempt to silence voices ahead of a potential 'Israeli' occupation of Gaza." Al Jazeera highlighted that several 'Israeli' military officials had repeatedly incited violence and calls to target Anas Al-Sharif and his team.
Sharif and his colleagues were among the last remaining voices reporting Gaza's tragic reality to the world. Despite living under siege, facing hunger and hardship themselves, the journalists courageously provided live and shocking testimonies of the war's atrocities throughout the aggression, Al Jazeera concluded.

Occupation army conducts drill simulating invasion from Jordanian border
Ammon News - The Israeli occupation army conducted a surprise military drill on Sunday, simulating a multifront attack on Israel, with an emphasis on a ground invasion from the Jordanian border. According to Times of Israel, the army says the inspection examined the headquarters' 'emergency order of battle, and the ability to handle a sudden, large-scale, complex, multifront event,' as part of the 'implementation of lessons learned from the events of October 7.' According to military officials, the scenario involved a simultaneous ground invasion from the Jordanian border at three points; a explosive drone attack on the Ramon Airport in southern Israel; two shooting attacks in the West Bank, with one of the cells reaching Israel's Route 6 highway; rocket fire on the north; a drone attack from Yemen on an offshore gas field; and missile fire from Iran. Officers involved in the drill say that one of the main issues that emerged was the rate at which troops and the air force were deployed to defend the Jordanian border.

Australia to recognize Palestinian state at UN General Assembly
Australia will officially recognize a Palestinian state during the UN General Assembly in September, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Monday. 'A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza,' Albanese told reporters in Canberra. 'Until Israeli and Palestinian statehood is permanent, peace can only be temporary. Australia will recognize the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own. We will work with the international community to make this right a reality.' The decision aligns Australia with countries such as France, Britain, and Canada, which have pushed for Palestinian recognition following 'Israel's' war on Gaza, launched nearly two years ago. Albanese emphasised that the commitment was based on assurances from the Palestinian Authority (PA) that Hamas would have 'no role' in any future Palestinian state. 'There is a moment of opportunity here, and Australia will work with the international community to seize it,' Albanese added, while also criticizing 'Israel' for continuing to defy 'international law and deny sufficient aid.' The announcement drew swift reaction. 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned international recognition efforts, warning they would 'not bring peace, it will bring war.' He accused European nations and Australia of 'falling right into' what he called 'this canard,' describing the move as 'shameful.'
