New Delhi: Amid growing hunger in Gaza, Israel has announced a 10-hour daily halt in fighting in three areas of the war-torn strip. The Israeli army said on Sunday, 27 July 2025 that it would temporarily halt fighting in three areas of Gaza to deal with the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza. What did IDF say?
The Israeli army said it would halt its operations in Muwasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City from 10 am to 8 pm local time every day from Sunday until further notice. The army said in a statement that it would also set up safe routes to help aid agencies deliver food and other supplies to people in Gaza. According to Israeli state TV channel Kan News, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took this decision under international pressure over the situation in Gaza after discussions with Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and other senior officials.
Earlier on Saturday, July 26, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that air supplies of humanitarian aid to Gaza would resume late at night.
Palestinian sources and eyewitnesses reported that air deliveries of humanitarian aid resumed in several areas of northern Gaza on Saturday evening. The IDF itself gave this information through a Telegram post. In a statement on Sunday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that the aid delivered by air included 'seven packages containing flour, sugar and canned food items.' Warnings over worsening hunger in Gaza
The IDF said it delivered humanitarian aid by air as part of 'ongoing efforts to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.' The development comes amid warnings from humanitarian organisations of worsening hunger in Gaza, where access to essential goods has been severely restricted since Israel closed all crossings in March. IDF kills Hamas commander
On Friday, July 25, the IDF said it had killed a Hamas counter-intelligence commander in an attack in the northern Gaza Strip. The IDF said in a statement that Amjad Muhammad Hassan Shaer, head of the counter-intelligence directorate in Hamas's General Security Apparatus, was killed on Wednesday, July 23. According to the Israeli military, the directorate is responsible for thwarting espionage and protecting senior Hamas officials. The statement said the Israeli air force on Thursday attacked dozens of military targets in the Gaza Strip.

Starmer says U.K. will recognize Palestinian state unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire
Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) the U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September – unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza and takes steps toward long-term peace. Mr. Starmer called ministers together for a rare summertime Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza. He told them that Britain will recognize a state of Palestine before the United Nations General Assembly, 'unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a two state solution." Britain has long supported the idea of an independent Palestinian state existing alongside Israel, but has said recognition should come as part of a negotiated two-state solution to the conflict. Pressure to formally recognize Palestinian statehood has mounted since French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country will become the first major Western power to recognize a Palestinian state in September.
