Gaza facing ‘dark days', Starmer says, as he vows to consider ‘further action'
Gaza is facing 'dark days', the Prime Minister has said, as he vowed to consider 'further action' against Israel. At the despatch box, Sir Keir Starmer described the Israeli government's conduct in the 25 mile-long strip as 'counterproductive and intolerable'. He made his comments after an Israeli and US-backed group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, paused food delivery at its three distribution sites in Gaza on Wednesday, after health officials said at least 27 Palestinians were killed in a series of shootings near the sites this week. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ms Rachel (@msrachelforlittles) Leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party in Northern Ireland Claire Hanna claimed there was 'more moral clarity coming from Ms Rachel on YouTube than there is from many world leaders who are complicit in silence', referring to the star educator who has called on leaders to 'be so ashamed' of what she described as their 'anti-Palestinian racism'. Ms Hanna told the Commons: 'The Prime Minister said this week that Britain must be ready for war and, I ask, after tens of thousands of deaths, after a generation of Gazans stunted by hunger and trauma, when will it be ready for peace? 'When will it help to stop this genocide? When will it hold the Israeli government to account, and when will it recognise the state of Palestine?' Sir Keir replied: 'She's absolutely right to describe this as dark days. Despite ever-increasing challenges and forced displacement in the #Gaza Strip, UNRWA teams continue to provide health consultations daily, including for children. Medical services are still critically under-resourced, while life-saving aid sits in UNRWA warehouses in the region… — UNRWA (@UNRWA) June 4, 2025 'Israel's recent action is appalling and in my view counterproductive and intolerable, and we have strongly opposed the expansion of military operations and settler violence, and the blocking of humanitarian aid.' The Prime Minister added: 'You will have seen we've suspended the FTA (free trade agreement) talks and sanctioned extremists supporting violence in the West Bank. 'We will keep looking at further action along with our allies, including sanctions, but let me be absolutely clear: we need to get back to a ceasefire. 'We need the hostages who've been held for a very long time to be released, and we desperately need more aid at speed and at volume into Gaza, because it's an appalling and intolerable situation.' Several MPs wearing red badges, including John McDonnell, the independent MP for Hayes and Harlington, and Labour's MPs for Alloa and Grangemouth and Nottingham East Brian Leishman and Nadia Whittome silently left the chamber after the exchange. The PM told me today that he would do everything he can to get desperately needed aid into Gaza, but words are not enough and I will hold him to account until we see action. — Ed Davey (@EdwardJDavey) June 4, 2025 Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has asked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer whether he will 'push at the UN Security Council for humanitarian corridors to get the desperately needed aid urgently into Gaza'. He told the Commons: 'The US-Israeli programme is clearly failing and nothing short of lifting the full blockade on aid will do, but given the (Benjamin) Netanyahu government refuses to do that, will the Prime Minister take more decisive action today?' Sir Keir said that the Government is 'working at pace with our allies on that very issue, to take whatever measures we can to get that humanitarian aid in'. He gave Sir Ed his 'assurance we'll continue to do that because that aid needs to get in at speed and at volume'.

Opinion - Leland Vittert's War Notes: Ring Side Seats
NewsNation Chief Washington Anchor and On Balance host Leland Vittert was a foreign correspondent for four years in Jerusalem. He gives you an early look at tonight's 9 pm ET show. Subscribe to War Notes here. Altar bound: This weekend I get to do something I always hoped would happen but wasn't sure would – marry my best friend. At 42, I have lived enough to know I am so lucky to have found the woman perfect for me. I am so lucky to be joining Rachel's family and happier still that her parents and mine have become such great friends. My parents have been married for 53 years. Rachel's parents are about a decade behind. It's quite the legacy to live up to – but I couldn't imagine better examples. Silly me: I didn't think this weekend would have many emotions – Rachel and I have dated for four years, and we do everything together – boy, was I wrong. The weight of the journey and responsibility ahead has become profoundly real. Yet, the excitement and dreams of a life together beckon with a far louder voice. We'll share more of the marriage advice you sent in on the show tonight. By far, the most popular advice was, 'Rachel is always right.' Thanks, but I figured that out a LONG time ago. 'War Notes' is off until Tuesday, June 10 — I'll be sure to post some pictures of the wedding on Instagram @lelandvittert. Big sale: The audiobook version of 'Born Lucky,' narrated by me, is 55% off now through Saturday on Audible. You can preorder the actual hardcover book on Amazon here. For you: 'War Notes' subscribers who purchase the book – audio or hardcover – will get invited to a private Q&A session with me plus receive a signed bookmark. More on both of those closer to the Sept. 30 release date — but PLEASE preorder now — save your receipt! Must watch: Click here to watch one of the prison escapees in New Orleans ask President Trump and rapper Lil Wayne for help. When running from the cops after a prison escape, aren't you supposed to disappear?! During the first 130 days of his second term, President Trump rained punches on his enemies – now, he's oddly silent – and let his enemies fight amongst themselves. Give it another day or so, and the White House press corps will complain that President Donald Trump is hiding. Be fair: When compared to the multiple Oval Office press conferences each week he usually does, he's relatively distant. He last talked to the press Friday night in a driving rainstorm at Joint Base Andrews. We caught it during our segment with Corey Lewandowski. Click here to watch Trump's brief presser and the full interview. Trump had no public appearances Saturday. On Sunday, the president golfed with Bryson DeChambeau at Trump National Club in D.C. and then returned to the White House. On Monday, the president's schedule included lunch with the vice president. Today, he had no public appearances. Political reality: Nobody knows the media better than Trump – if he doesn't want to be the story and dominate the coverage, there is a reason. The Boulder attack puts Democrats in a terrible position. Trump has been notably silent on Ukraine's spy novel-worthy one-two punch against Putin. Good news for Ukraine is good news for Trump domestically. The Biden health scandal continues to ferment. Elon Musk is fighting Trump over the 'big, beautiful bill.' 'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,' Musk wrote in a post on X. It's amazing how the press now views Musk as an honest broker because he's criticizing Trump. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., also came out against the bill in a post on X: 'Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this … This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.' Yet Trump is still silent. Winning: President Trump is not back above water in polling, but he is closer to a positive approval rating than anytime since early April. Trump's average approval rating today is 47.5%, with 49.7% of Americans disapproving. Watch tonight: The great Mark Halperin on Trump's 'new' media strategy. For true political junkies: Always join Halperin's 'The Morning Meeting' show on 2 Way. The illegal immigrant and pro-Hamas terrorist who allegedly attacked Jews in Boulder, Colorado, completely changed the American political conversation – Democrats haven't figured that out yet. It's all the Democrats' problems in one: Illegal immigration: As Mark Halperin explains: 'Republicans are seizing on the fact that the accused appears to have come to this country illegally and been allowed to stay because of the policies and practices of the Biden administration… I'm already hearing from Democrats who say, if we don't get ahead of this, we are morons. We cannot be on the wrong side of denouncing this man's presence in the United States.' Have you seen any Democrats get ahead of it? Antisemitism: Those who make the argument that the 'Free Palestine' folks are really just concerned about starving kids in Gaza have been exposed. Islamic extremist terrorism – it's still alive and well. Politically correct wokeism – Democrats still can't bring themselves to harshly condemn the anti-Israel rhetoric. They must protect the pro-Palestinian cause because they are afraid of losing their progressive base. Then Trump doubled down today and arrested the alleged terrorist's family members, who may also be here illegally. Who will be the first Democrat to come out and complain about the family's due process rights? NBC News hasn't gone that far, but they don't understand how the rest of America feels about terrorism. 'Lone wolf attacks on Jewish Americans in Boulder and D.C. highlight the difficulties in securing public spaces,' NBC writes in a post on X. Zoom out: America is divided by values, not by party. Right vs. wrong Rural vs. urban Traditional vs. progressive The Boulder attack puts Democrats in the latter camp: Wrong, urban and progressive. Supporting boys in girls sports is the same thing. It's exactly why Democrats have lost the middle class of America. New polling by CNN/SSRS shows the Republican Party seven points ahead of Democrats in terms of which party is closer to respondents' economic views. When asked about party perceptions of the middle class, Democrats only lead Republicans by 2 points – their lead was 17 points above the GOP in 2016. Watch tonight: Ana Kasparian of 'The Young Turks' on Democrats' refusal to stand up to the wokest within their party. In the past 72 hours, Ukraine has totally changed its three-year war with Russia – and Donald Trump is totally silent. Is World War III closer – yes, or maybe not. Weakness is provocative – Ukraine just showed itself not to be weak. 'Ukraine hits bridge linking Crimea to Russia with underwater explosives,' The Guardian headlines. Books will be written about Ukraine's drone attack on Russia's strategic bomber bases over a thousand miles from its border. Putin's puzzle: Can Putin find a way out of the war? According to a new study, 'Russia will likely hit the 1 million casualty mark in the summer of 2025' from the war with Ukraine. Putin loves Stalin: Remember what Stalin said about 1 million deaths: 'A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic.' Putin cornered: Those wanting to put Putin in a humiliating corner miss the point. Put him in a corner and he fights his way out – maybe with nuclear weapons. Put him in a position where he fears a corner but is offered a face-saving off-ramp: He just might take it. The challenge for Trump will come next – he has to convince Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to offer peace terms Putin may not like but can live with.
