Netanyahu slams UN: Israel has always allowed minimal Gaza aid, now it's official
Israel will "need to continue allowing the entry of minimal humanitarian supplies" into the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday, claiming that Israel has "done this until now."
Netanyahu, speaking from the Israel Air Force's Ramon Air Base, claimed that the UN is "creating an excuse and a lie about Israel," by saying that Israel is not allowing humanitarian aid to enter the enclave.
"We are allowing [aid], there are secured routes, there always have been. But today it is official, there will be no more excuses," Netanyahu commented.
In order to complete Israel's goal of eliminating Hamas and releasing hostages, the IDF is continuing to apply pressure via its operations, and authorities are conducting negotiations, Netanyahu noted, adding that "we will achieve this goal."
"We will continue to fight, we will continue to operate until we achieve all our war objectives, until complete victory," he added.
Katz threatens to assassinate Iran's Khamenei
During the same visit, Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened again to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
"I want to send a clear message to the dictator Khamenei: If you continue to threaten Israel, our long arm will once again reach Iran, with even greater force, and this time, it will reach you personally," Katz said.
"Do not threaten us, or you will be harmed," he added.
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee also commented on Israel providing aid into the Gaza Strip on X/Twitter earlier on Sunday.
"Is the UN, New York Times, and Hamas all happy now? I'm sure Hamas is. Their lies & propaganda destroyed cease-fire deal, tried to discredit safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas & will result in this complete balagan! Most sad for hostage families-grief prolonged," Huckabee wrote.
"Why would Hamas demand GHF method stop? Because suddenly Hamas is promoting humanitarianism & efficiency for food delivery that Hamas couldn't loot? Right! And Jeffrey Dahmer was a master chef & should have had a cooking show," Huckabee added in a separate post.

Afghans show solidarity as migrant returns from Iran surge
At the border with Iran, Fatima Rezaei distributes food and hygiene products to Afghans forced to return, unable to passively stand by as the deportation crisis grows. The 22-year-old is one of many Afghan volunteers rallying to help their compatriots, despite having little themselves. Since the beginning of the year, more than 1.6 million Afghans, including many children, have returned after being deported or driven out of Iran, which accuses them of pushing up unemployment and crime. "It doesn't matter whether you have a lot of money or not. I don't have much, but with the help of Afghans here and abroad, we manage," said Rezaei. The number of crossings at the Islam Qala border has reached 30,000 on several days, peaking at 50,000 on July 4, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In response, residents of the western region have mobilised, partly thanks to donations sent by Afghans living in Europe or North America. A journalist for a local television channel, Rezaei travels over 100 kilometres (62 miles) to reach the border from her hometown of Herat. From a stack of cardboard boxes, she distributes baby wipes and sanitary towels to women gathered under a tent and surrounded by around a dozen children. "It is our responsibility to stand by their side," she said. "The government tries to help, but it's not enough." International organisations are helping to register migrants but face massive budget cuts. Meanwhile, Taliban authorities struggle to support the influx of Afghans who have often left everything behind and returned to a country mired in poverty. - 'We have a duty' - Unemployed Hosna Salehi volunteers with her parents' charitable organisation, Khan-e-Meher, to distribute aid, such as infant formula. "Some women with young children tried to breastfeed but didn't have enough milk due to stress," she told AFP. "Our fellow Afghans need our support right now. We have a duty to give what we can, no matter if it is a little or a lot." The show of solidarity "makes us proud", said Ahmadullah Wassiq, director of Afghanistan's High Commission for Refugees. "The government cannot solve these problems alone," he acknowledged, "and the efforts of citizens must be applauded". The Taliban government says it provides money upon arrival and is establishing towns dedicated to returning Afghans, though it does not specify when they will be ready. In Herat, the nearest major city to the border, some in the most precarious circumstances have been living in parks in tents donated by residents. - 'Extended a hand' - Some said they were having to rebuild their lives after returning home. "The only thing we're worried about is finding work," said Hussein, 33, who spent more than 10 years in Iran. "There, they told us our papers were no longer valid. We had good jobs, now we need to find work and start from scratch," said the father-of-two, who was moved by the support he encountered on the Afghan side of the border. "They really helped us and extended a hand," he said as he waited for a free bus to take him the nearly 1,000 kilometres to the capital Kabul. In Afghanistan, where half the population of around 48 million lives below the poverty line according to the World Bank, "there isn't much of a culture of volunteering", said 27-year-old Omid Haqjoo, as he prepared food in vast cooking pots. "But we are trying to promote it... to provide the support that is missing," he added. After a day of heat in the humanitarian tents at Islam Qala, Salehi felt strengthened by a "life lesson". "If I was able to help volunteer, I think everyone can," she said. "And when I go home and think of all the fellow Afghans who smiled at me and prayed for me, that's enough for me." str-cgo/sw/ecl/jfx/lb

Starmer Is Edging Closer to Recognizing Palestinian Statehood, U.K. Officials Say
Britain is now more actively weighing the recognition of a Palestinian state, two senior government officials said Monday, a striking shift prompted by public revulsion at the images of starving children in Gaza and intense pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer from lawmakers in his own Labour Party. Mr. Starmer did not follow President Emmanuel Macron when he announced last week that France would recognize the state of Palestine. The British prime minister said in a statement at the time that recognition had to be part of 'a wider plan which ultimately results in a two-state solution and lasting security for Palestinians and Israelis.' But the British officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations, said momentum was building because of the escalating humanitarian crisis, with reports of deaths from starvation in Gaza after months of restrictions on aid imposed by the Israeli authorities. Mr. Starmer has long backed the right of Palestinians to an independent state. But officials said he had resisted immediate recognition because he viewed it as a largely 'performative' gesture that would not improve conditions on the ground and could even complicate negotiations to strike a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. Those arguments have not satisfied the more than 250 members of Parliament from nine parties, including Labour, who signed a letter to Mr. Starmer and the foreign secretary, David Lammy, urging Britain to recognize Palestine at a United Nations' conference this week devoted to a two-state solution.

Albanese slams Israel's denial of starvation in Gaza
Anthony Albanese has strongly rejected Israel's claims that there's no starvation in Gaza as "beyond comprehension". The prime minister was responding to statements made by his counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israel's deputy ambassador to Australia, during a Labor caucus meeting on Tuesday. "While there is a caveat on any health information which is provided by Hamas, it is Israel that has prevented journalists from getting in," he told the meeting in Canberra. There is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of starvation in Gaza, and I assure you that we have a commitment to achieve our war goals. We will continue to fight till we achieve the release of our hostages and the destruction of Hamas' military and governing capabilities. They… — Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) July 28, 2025 It comes after Mr Albanese on Friday declared Israel's retaliation in Gaza following the October 7 attack on the nation state by Hamas had "gone beyond the world's worst fears". Then on Sunday, he warned Israel had "quite clearly" breached international law by limiting food deliveries to starving civilians in Gaza, escalating his criticism of the Jewish state. The prime minister spoke of his emotional response to images of gaunt and dying children in the Palestinian territory, while acknowledging increased airdrops of aid by Israel was "a start". "It just breaks your heart," he told ABC's Insiders on Sunday. Overnight on Monday, US President Donald Trump contradicted the Israeli prime minister by stating many people were starving in the Gaza Strip and suggested more could be done to improve humanitarian access. Mr Netanyahu has said "there is no starvation in Gaza, no policy of starvation in Gaza ..." Israel's deputy ambassador to Australia Amir Meron told journalists on Monday "we don't recognise any famine or any starvation in the Gaza Strip". The number of Palestinians believed to have been killed is nearing 60,000 people, according to local health authorities. While air drops of aid have been carried out into Gaza, humanitarian agencies say they aren't enough to deal with worsening levels of starvation in the area. At the caucus meeting, Mr Albanese was also asked about Palestinian statehood. He referenced a Nelson Mandela quote, saying "it always seems impossible until it's done". The prime minister has previously said any resolution on the issue would need to guarantee that Hamas, the de facto ruling authority in Gaza, which Australia has designated a terrorist group, plays no part in the future nation. There would also need to be agreements on the rebuilding of Gaza and the West Bank, and a resolution of issues over the expansion of Israeli settlements. Recognition of Palestinian statehood has been part of Labor's national platform since 2018. Labor is facing intensifying pressure to follow France in recognising a Palestinian state at a United Nations General Assembly meeting in September. The Greens are calling on the government to impose the same sanctions on Israel as it had done so for Russia. The minor party is also seeking a ban on buying items that can help fund the war, pointing to sanctions on pearls and truffles for Russia.
