UK to donate additional $11.4m for Gaza if Israel allows ‘flood' of aid to enter
It is part of a £101 million UK package for the Occupied Territories this year, The Independent reported on Saturday.
The funds will 'help address urgent need' in Gaza, said Chapman. 'It is unacceptable that so much aid is waiting at the border — the UK is ready to provide more through our partners, and we demand that the government of Israel allows more aid in safely and securely,' she added.
'The insufficient amount of supplies getting through is causing appalling and chaotic scenes as desperate civilians try to access tiny amounts of aid.'
The UK is delivering the funds through the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which has warned of worsening famine among the 2.1 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Germany's halt to arms exports to Israel is response to Gaza expansion plans: Merz
Germany's decision to curb arms exports to Israel comes in response to Israel's plan to expand its operations in the Gaza Strip, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Sunday in an interview with public broadcaster ARD. 'We cannot deliver weapons into a conflict that is now being pursued exclusively by military means,' Merz said. 'We want to help diplomatically, and we are doing so.' The worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Israel's plans to expand military control over the enclave have pushed Germany to take this historically fraught step. The chancellor said in the interview that the expansion of Israel's operations in Gaza could claim hundreds of thousands of civilian lives and would require the evacuation of the entire city of Gaza. 'Where are these people supposed to go?' Merz said. 'We can't do that, we won't do that, and I will not do that.' Nevertheless, the principles of Germany's Israel policy remain unchanged, the chancellor said. 'Germany has stood firmly by Israel's side for 80 years. That will not change,' Merz said. Germany is Israel's second-biggest weapons supplier after the US and has long been one of its staunchest supporters, principally because of its historical guilt for the Nazi Holocaust – a policy known as the 'Staatsraison.'

Saudi, UK foreign ministers discuss Gaza crisis
RIYADH: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan spoke on the phone with his UK counterpart David Lammy on Sunday, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The parties discussed developments in the Gaza Strip, the need to stop Israeli attacks and violations, and how to end the humanitarian catastrophe suffered by the residents of the enclave, the SPA added. The phone call came on the same day as a UN Security Council meeting on the Gaza crisis, which had been requested by the UK and other countries. During the meeting, the UK, which was joined by Denmark, France, Greece and Slovenia, urged Israel to reverse its recent decision to expand military operations in Gaza, warning it would deepen Palestinian suffering, worsen the humanitarian crisis and endanger hostages. The UK's representative at the meeting, James Kariuki, said the move would not secure the release of hostages held by Hamas since the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, and reiterated calls for their unconditional release. He stressed that Hamas must disarm and play no role in Gaza's governance, which should involve the Palestinian Authority. He also urged Israel to lift restrictions on aid, open all land routes for essential supplies, and allow humanitarian agencies to operate freely. Kariuki also highlighted a further $11.4 million provided by the UK for humanitarian funding for Gaza. He called on both sides to engage in negotiations in good faith toward a ceasefire and a two-state solution, which he added was the only path to lasting peace.

The crucifixion of Gaza
Observing the devastation of Gaza today and the ordeal of its people, we cannot help but turn back to another people who were oppressed in the same region thousands of years ago by the Romans, and one of whom was nailed to a cross to die simply for seeking peace and understanding. Today, the people of Gaza, who have already suffered far too much inhumanity, are suffering a crucifixion on an even larger scale. Tens of thousands of innocents have been killed, an entire territory, its homes, hospitals, and highways lie in rubble, and a desperate people starve out in the open. We are somehow reminded of how the Romans, who buried their greatness in madness, hatred, and oppression, gradually began to undermine their empire from within. There is a straightforward way in which history seems to be repeating itself, as a people rising from the depths of oppression and genocide, seeking to build a country based on dignity, democracy, and hope, fall into the very trap of extremism, hatred, and rage against an oppressed people that was once aimed at them. The tragedy of this event cannot be overstated, not only for the Gazans and all Palestinian people, but also for the Israeli people who sought to build a model for others by exemplifying tolerance, understanding, and decency. In their outburst of violence, though, they have inflamed the emotions of peace-loving people around the world, who are in no doubt about who the aggressor is. The violence and hatred Israel has been visiting upon Gaza and the Palestinian people is already undermining the foundations of a country built on universal values of humanity and decency. The world is no longer fooled. The Middle East represents something very special to humanity, as not only the cradle of civilization but also the birthplace of the three great monotheisms and their messengers from God. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad carried messages of peace, tolerance, and compassion from the heavens. Conveying those values to the world is a mission and a duty that has been placed upon our region and its people. We respond to these acts of hatred and violence by extending a hand of peace. If the Israelis are to become our neighbors truly, they must seize our hand and, with us, honor the message of our prophets. Two thousand years ago, the crucifixion of a messenger of peace was not carried on live television or social media as the crucifixion of the people of Gaza is today. Thankfully, those people in the West, and particularly in the US, who had until very recently remained oblivious to the longstanding suffering of the Palestinian people, are now all too aware of the disregard and inhumanity with which Israelis are treating them. People are starving and dying in front of our eyes, victims of the limitless brutality of a regime perpetrating crimes against humanity every day. We would all do well to recall history and understand that the oppression of people who seek only to live a decent and peaceful life will lead to rot not within those people but within their aggressors. Seeing just one, let alone tens of thousands of children, lose their lives, their limbs, or become orphaned, is too much for anyone to handle. The world is saying 'enough' and asking us all to wake up before peace itself is crucified in this deathly horror. The prophets of the Middle East consistently carried a message of peace and dignity, particularly for the poorest and weakest among us. Let us all remind those committing, justifying, or even just standing by such aggression that the world rewards those who deal in dignity and decency, not those who deal in death and destruction. • Hassan bin Youssef Yassin worked closely with Saudi Arabia's petroleum ministers Abdullah Tariki and Ahmed Zaki Yamani from 1959-1967.
