Paris to carry out air-drop aid into Gaza amid fears of famine
ALBAWABA - France will be carrying out an air-drop aid into Gaza "in the coming days", a diplomatic source said on Tuesday. France's decision came after UN-backed experts warned that continued Israeli blockade for humanitarian aid entry into Gaza is leading to famine in the strip as babies are unable to have access to formula or basic needs. "France will carry out air drops in the coming days to meet the most essential and urgent needs of the civilian population in Gaza," AFP reported, citing the source, who also called for "an immediate opening by Israel of the land crossing points". France will join Jordan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in conducting air-drop aid into Gaza amid starvation and low aid entry due to the Israeli blockade. The number of Palestinians who died from malnutrition since Israel launched its war on Gaza in October 2023, jumped to 147, including 88 children, the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed on Monday, July 28. It is worth noting that President Emmanuel Macron said that France will be recognizing the Palestinian state in September at the scheduled session of the UN General Assembly in New York. "The urgent need today is for the war in Gaza to end and for the civilian population to be rescued. Peace is possible. We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza," the president wrote on X.

Jordan dispatches new 65-truck aid convoy to Gaza
AMMAN — The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation (JHCO) on Tuesday sent a humanitarian convoy of 65 trucks to the Gaza Strip, including medical supplies and prosthetic limbs, as part of the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to support Palestinians amid the ongoing siege. The convoy was the latest in a series of aid missions reflecting Jordan's steadfast commitment, from both its leadership and people, to alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the war-torn enclave. JHCO Secretary-General Hussein Shibli told Al Mamlaka TV that Jordan continues to deliver aid to Gaza through both land convoys and airdrops, ensuring that assistance reaches civilians by all possible means. Over the past two weeks, Jordan has dispatched a total of 282 aid trucks, of which 220 have successfully entered the Gaza Strip, Shibli said. He also noted that the organisation was preparing an additional 60 trucks to be sent on Monday, with another 60 scheduled for dispatch on Thursday. Shibli stressed that delivering aid into Gaza remains extremely challenging due to deteriorating conditions on the ground, but reaffirmed Jordan's commitment to sustaining its humanitarian support.

Israeli settlers attack West Bank Christian village
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank overnight, torching cars and spray-painting threatening graffiti, a witness and the Palestinian Authority said Monday. Jeries Azar, a Taybeh resident and journalist for Palestine TV, told AFP his house and car were targeted in the pre-dawn assault. "I looked outside and saw my car on fire, and they were throwing something at the vehicle and in the direction of the house," Azar said. The Palestinian Authority issued a statement blaming "Israeli colonial settlers" for the attack on Taybeh. Azar said he was terrified and put himself in the shoes of the Dawabsheh family, a couple who burned to death with their baby after settlers attacked their West Bank village of Duma in 2015. "My greatest fear was for my two-year-old son. After we escaped, he cried nonstop for an hour", Azar said, adding that the Israeli army had surveyed the area after the attack. Israeli occupation authorities said in a joint statement that a unit was dispatched to Taybeh and reported "two burned Palestinian vehicles and graffiti". The statement said that no suspects were apprehended but that Israeli police have launched an investigation. A photo shared by a Palestinian government agency on social media showed graffiti on a Taybeh wall that read: "Al Mughayyir, you will regret", referring to a nearby village that was also attacked by settlers earlier this year. The Palestinian Authority's foreign ministry condemned the attack, calling it "settler terrorism". Germany's ambassador to Israel, Steffen Seibert, also condemned the action, writing on X: "These extremist settlers may claim that God gave them the land. But they are nothing but criminals abhorrent to any faith". Taybeh and its surroundings have experienced several bouts of settler violence in recent months, including an arson attack at an ancient Byzantine church. The village -- home to about 1,300 mostly Christian Palestinians, many holding US dual citizenship -- is known for its brewery, the oldest in the Palestinian territories. Settlers have attacked neighbouring communities in recent months, resulting in three deaths, damage to Palestinian water wells and the displacement of at least one rural herding community. Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967. The territory is home to about three million Palestinians and around 700,000 Israeli settlers, including about 200,000 in east Jerusalem. Last week, 71 members of Israel's 120-seat parliament, or Knesset, passed a motion calling on the government to annex the West Bank.
