A deadly Hamas ambush in Jabalia marks one of the worst attacks on Israeli forces in Gaza in weeks. Three IDF soldiers were killed and two injured when their Humvee was hit by an explosive device. The troops were part of a convoy escorting a fire engine during an evening operation. Hamas claims Israeli helicopters failed to evacuate the wounded due to missile threats. The IDF confirms the fatalities and says the incident is under investigation. The death toll in Israel's Gaza campaign has now reached 423.#hamas #idf #jabalia #gaza #israel #idfsoldierkilled

Trump Administration Threatens To Strip Columbia University's Accreditation
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. The US administration is attempting to revoke Columbia University's accreditation, citing inadequate protection for Jewish students post-Hamas attacks. Secretary McMahon criticised its leadership for failing to address harassment. The US administration has now made an attempt to strip Columbia University of its accreditation, stating that it failed to meet the criteria because of inadequate protection of Jewish students. "After Hamas' October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, Columbia University's leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus," stated US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon on Wednesday in a letter, per a BBC report. "Accreditors have an enormous public responsibility as gatekeepers of federal student aid," McMahon added in the letter, saying that Columbia's actions were 'immoral' and 'unlawful'. The purpose of US accreditation is to determine which universities are allowed access to billions of dollars in federal funding. US President Donald Trump also condemned Columbia and other US universities for failing to protect Jewish students amid the Israel-Gaza war and the protests undertaken by students on the campuses of US universities. McMahon's letter informs the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which oversees Columbia that the latter "no longer appears to meet the Commission's accreditation standards" because of its alleged violation of anti-discrimination laws. The organisation is an independent accreditor that the government uses to determine how to allocate funds of the education department. The letter also stated that the Columbia leadership "failed to meaningfully protect Jewish students against severe and pervasive harassment on Columbia's campus and consequently denied these students' equal access to educational opportunities to which they are entitled under the law". In February, Trump had stripped Columbia of $400m in federal funding, after accusing the campus of antisemitism. Columbia had cooperated with the Trump administration by addressing and implementing the changes demanded by the White House, and also reorganised its Middle Eastern studies department. However, the move did not appease the White House. Another university embroiled in allegations of antisemitism and currently facing legal battles, because of federal funding, with the Trump administration is Harvard University.

US vetoes UN Security Council resolution for an immediate Gaza ceasefire
14 of 15 UN Security Council members backed a resolution calling Gaza's humanitarian situation catastrophic and urging Israel to lift all aid delivery restrictions for 2.1 million Palestinians AP United Nations The United States on Wednesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza because it was not linked to the release of hostages. The resolution before the UN's most powerful body also did not condemn Hamas' deadly attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, which ignited the war, or say the militant group must disarm and withdraw from Gaza two other US demands. The 14 other members of the 15-nation council voted in favour of the resolution, which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as catastrophic and called on Israel to lift all restrictions on the delivery of aid to the 2.1 million Palestinians in the territory. The US vetoed the last resolution on Gaza in November, under the Biden administration, also because the ceasefire demand was not directly linked to the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. Similarly, the current resolution demands those taken by Hamas and other groups be released, but it does not make it a condition for a truce. President Donald Trump's administration has tried to ramp up its efforts to broker peace in Gaza after 20 months of war. However, Hamas has sought amendments to a US proposal that special envoy Steve Witkoff has called totally unacceptable. The vote followed a decision by an Israeli and US-backed foundation to pause food delivery at its three distribution sites in the Gaza Strip after health officials said dozens of Palestinians were killed in a series of shootings near the sites this week. Israel and the United States say they supported the establishment of the new aid system to prevent Hamas from stealing aid previously distributed by the UN. The United Nations has rejected the new system, saying it doesn't address Gaza's mounting hunger crisis, allows Israel to use aid as a weapon and doesn't comply with the humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence. The UN says its distribution system throughout Gaza worked very well during the March ceasefire and is carefully monitored. The resolution demanded the restoration of all essential humanitarian services in line with humanitarian principles, international humanitarian law and UN Security Council resolutions. Israel's UN Mission said Ambassador Danny Danon, who will speak after the vote, will say the resolution undermines humanitarian relief efforts and ignores Hamas, which is still endangering civilians in Gaza. He also will say the resolution disregards the ceasefire negotiations that are already underway, the mission said. Gaza's roughly 2 million people are almost completely reliant on international aid because Israel's offensive has destroyed nearly all food production capabilities. Israel imposed a blockade on supplies into Gaza on March 2, and limited aid began to enter again late last month after pressure from allies and warnings of famine. The world is watching, day after day, horrifying scenes of Palestinians being shot, wounded or killed in Gaza while simply trying to eat, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said in a statement Wednesday. He called for a flood of aid to be let in and for the world body to be the one delivering it. The Security Council has voted on 14 Gaza-related resolutions and approved four since the war began. That is when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251. They are still holding 58 hostages, a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's military campaign has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which doesn't say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants. The ministry is led by medical professionals but reports to the Hamas-run government. Its toll is seen as generally reliable by UN agencies and independent experts, though Israel has challenged its numbers.

US vetoes UN Security Council resolution demanding immediate ceasefire in Gaza
The United States vetoed a UN Security Council draft resolution on Wednesday that demanded an 'immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire' in Gaza between Israel and Hamas militants, stating that the resolution wasn't linked to release of hostages and would have emboldened Hamas. All the other 14 members of the UN Security Council voted in favour of the resolution, which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as 'catastrophic' with a 2 million population staring at famine and aid trickled in only after Israel removed its restrictions under international pressure after 11-week blockade. Acting US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea told UNSC the draft resolution would undermine America's efforts to broker a ceasefire deal, adding 'The United States has been clear: We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza,' Reuters reported. The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on Gaza. This resolution would've only served to advance the interests of Hamas terrorists, while undermining diplomatic efforts. Any @UN measure should clearly condemn Hamas and call for them to disarm and leave Gaza. The… — Secretary Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) June 4, 2025 The draft resolution also lacked two other US demands, including condemnation of Hamas' deadly attack in Israel on October 7, 2023, which led to the war and that Hamas militants must disarm and retreat from the territory of Gaza. The veto by the US comes when Israel relaunched its offensive against Gaza after ending a two-month ceasefire in March. I thank the United States for demonstrating moral clarity and leadership at the UN Security Council by vetoing the one-sided resolution against Israel. The resolution that was brought to a vote called for a ceasefire in Gaza without conditioning such a ceasefire on the immediate… — Danny Danon 🇮🇱 דני דנון (@dannydanon) June 4, 2025 According to Gaza health authorities, Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed 45 people in Palestine while the Israeli military said one of their soldiers died during the fighting. Detailing about the council's Gaza ceasefire resolution, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a statement said 'Hamas could end this brutal conflict immediately by laying down its arms and releasing all remaining hostages.' Israel has already rejected calls for a permanent or unconditional ceasefire, stating that Hamas cannot stay in Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas condemned the veto of the draft resolution by the US, alleging a US administration's 'blind bias' towards Israel.
