'Israel' extends military presence in Tulkarm camps, West Bank, through Oct
The Israeli Occupation has issued a decision to extend the presence of its forces in the Tulkarm refugee camps in the West Bank until October 31, 2025, contradicting earlier reports that suggested a potential withdrawal at the start of next month. The decision includes the renewed occupation of both Nur Shams and Tulkarm camps, as well as a new ban on Palestinian presence in the Nur Shams woodlands, an area outside the camp boundaries. As a result, nearly 30,000 displaced residents of the two camps will continue to suffer from harsh and deteriorating conditions for at least three more months. The move signals the continuation of the "Israeli" military's offensive on the area, despite growing humanitarian concerns and repeated calls for de-escalation.

We sent $60 million in food aid to Gaza, but no one thanked us, says Trump
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration had allocated USD 60 million in aid to send food into Gaza two weeks ago, but added that 'no one thanked us.' In remarks made during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Trump said: 'We delivered USD 60 million worth of food into Gaza. It got in. No one thanked us. Not Hamas, not anyone.' Trump also downplayed the severity of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, saying: 'I don't think there's a famine in Gaza". He went on to describe the situation on the ground as chaotic and mismanaged: 'People are stealing the food, they're stealing the money, they're stealing the money for the food, they're stealing weapons, they're stealing everything. It's a mess. That whole place is a mess.' The president also reiterated his stance on "Israeli" captives held by Hamas: 'Hamas must release the hostages and detainees. We've already brought most of them back.' 'It's up to Israel now. Israel has to make a decision about Gaza.'

Calls to boycott sports platform DAZN grow over ties to 'Israeli' leadership
A growing online campaign is calling for the boycott of DAZN, a global sports streaming service, over claims of the platform's connections to 'Israeli' political and military figures, as well as its perceived stance on the ongoing war in Gaza. Organizers of the campaign cite several reasons behind their calls, primarily centered around the company's ownership, executive leadership, and public statements by affiliated figures. Ownership and leadership concerns DAZN is owned by Access Industries, founded by British-American businessman Len Blavatnik. Critics point to Blavatnik's past financial support for 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud party. Attention has also been drawn to Access Industries' president Danny Cohen, who has written opinion pieces criticizing media outlets for what he calls anti-'Israel' bias. Cohen previously signed a letter urging the BBC not to air a documentary focusing on Gaza's humanitarian crisis. Military background and political views Shay Segev, DAZN's CEO, is an 'Israeli' national who served in the 'Israeli' military for four years. Campaigners have raised concerns about his background and its potential influence on the platform's neutrality. In addition, DAZN reporter Emily Austin has faced criticism for expressing strong support for the 'Israeli' military and denying the severity of Gaza's humanitarian crisis in public statements.
