'The World Must Act Before Silence Becomes Complicity': Journalist Urgent Appeal
Riker highlighted escalating attacks: 'They bombed the Red Cross headquarters in Raqqa—a day after striking Nasser Hospital's emergency department.' Days prior, the Turkish Friendship Hospital at Netserim, used as a military base by occupation forces, was destroyed. 'When we exposed these crimes, they called it 'blood libel.' Now, they don't even pretend,' Riker added. A Pattern of Impunity
The journalist condemned global silence: 'They think you're comfortable with genocide.' Her TikTok video underscores relentless strikes on civilians, hospitals, and press, framing it as a deliberate campaign to erase Gaza's narrative.
Riker's footage and words demand accountability. 'This isn't just about hospitals or journalists—it's about erasing Palestine,' she urged, echoing activists worldwide. As attacks intensify, her reporting amplifies a plea: 'The world must act before silence becomes complicity.'

Saudi Arabia slams Israeli crimes of genocide against unarmed civilians in Gaza
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — Saudi Arabia condemned in the strongest terms on Thursday the Israeli occupation authorities' persistence in their crimes against the Palestinian people and their occupied land, and their ongoing attempts to displace them and prevent the establishment of their independent state. "This includes Israel's commencement of expanding settlement construction around occupied Jerusalem and the expansion of their operations and aggression, amounting to crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip," Saudi Arabia said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. The Kingdom affirmed that these steps constitute serious violations of international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. "The continued implementation of dangerous Israeli plans and the continued crimes of the Israeli occupation authorities and forces without deterrence have a significant impact on the security and stability of the region and threaten the legitimacy of the international law," the statement added.

Israel Launches Military Operation in Gaza City Amid Ceasefire Talks
Israeli forces began preliminary operations to seize Gaza City on Wednesday, signaling a major escalation despite urgent international warnings. The military simultaneously called up tens of thousands of reservists while the government weighed a new Arab-backed ceasefire proposal, nearly two years after Hamas's October 2023 attack ignited the devastating conflict. Brigadier General Effie Defrin, Israel's military spokesperson, declared: 'We have begun preliminary operations and the first attack stages on Gaza City; IDF forces now hold its outskirts.' Defrin further described Hamas as a 'battered and bruised' guerrilla force within its former governmental stronghold. Consequently, Israeli troops clashed with over fifteen Hamas militants near Khan Younis on Wednesday. These fighters emerged from tunnels, attacking with gunfire and anti-tank missiles, severely wounding one soldier. Ceasefire Hopes Clash with Military Timeline Meanwhile, Hamas accepted a 60-day truce proposal involving hostage releases and prisoner exchanges. However, Israel insists all fifty remaining hostages must return immediately, believing twenty are still alive. Furthermore, Prime Minister Netanyahu's office accelerated military plans after Wednesday's clashes, aiming to defeat Hamas faster. A military official previously suggested reservists would not deploy until September, offering mediators crucial time. Nevertheless, Netanyahu now pressures the timeline, facing demands from far-right coalition members to reject any temporary ceasefire. Many Gazans and global leaders fear a full-scale assault on Gaza City will cause massive casualties. Israel promises evacuation orders before any major assault begins, and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem reports notices already reaching neighborhoods near Gaza City's Catholic Church. Consequently, the densely populated urban center faces imminent danger despite international pleas. Over 62,000 Palestinians have reportedly died since October 2023, according to Gaza health officials, who state most victims are women and children. Conflict Deepens Amid Political Pressures Hamas accused Netanyahu of deliberately obstructing peace to continue a 'brutal war against innocent civilians.' Simultaneously, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approved a controversial West Bank settlement project, which he claims eliminates Palestinian statehood prospects. Israel currently controls approximately 75% of the Gaza Strip after widespread destruction of homes, schools, and mosques. Hamas, severely weakened by the prolonged war, demands the conflict ends only upon full hostage release. Israel, however, refuses peace until Hamas disarms completely. Public opinion strongly supports ending the war for hostage freedom, evidenced by Saturday's massive Tel Aviv rally. This pressure intensifies dramatically as tanks approach Gaza City's edge.
