The convoy, carrying 30 trucks of humanitarian aid, was delayed in its arrival in a violation of signed agreements, government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani told Reuters.
'This requires a serious Israeli intervention and no leniency in dealing with those who obstruct these convoys,' Momani said.

WATCH: Kasparian's Fiery On-Air Outburst Rocks Piers Morgan Debate
Ana Kasparian, co-host of 'The Young Turks,' delivered a truly stunning and intense performance during a recent panel discussion on Piers Morgan Uncensored. Her unfiltered emotional reactions throughout a heated debate concerning the escalating Israel-Gaza conflict certainly left television viewers completely stunned. This powerful exchange immediately captured significant attention across various social media platforms. The panel, which included pro-Israel activist Emily Schrader, Palestinian-American analyst Omar Baddar, Jewish advocate Shabbos Kestenbaum, and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, specifically addressed rising regional tensions. Kasparian's particularly strong and direct comments quickly dominated the entire conversation. She passionately accused Israel of committing genocide, declaring with absolute conviction, 'I know genocide when I see it.' Kasparian furthermore fiercely criticized any proposed pause in fighting as entirely inadequate, emphatically stating, 'A pause in fighting is NOT a ceasefire! You DISGUST me!' @nexus.72hours صحفية أمريكية تغسل صحفية اســـ..،ــرائــ.ــيلية ♬ original sound – NEXUS – NEXUS Direct Accusations and Personal Confrontation Her sharpest criticisms were pointedly aimed at Emily Schrader, the pro-Israel activist present on the panel. Kasparian boldly labeled Schrader a 'liar' and 'vile' for actively defending Israel's ongoing military operations. The confrontation rapidly turned deeply personal as Kasparian challenged Schrader's assertions, citing non-evidence to counter what she controversially termed 'propaganda.' Kasparian even powerfully exclaimed, 'You disgust me. Even your voice disgusts me. You are a defender of genocide.' She then dramatically reinforced her strong perspective, asserting, 'I'm an Armenian. I know genocide when I see it.' Thunberg Debate Deemed 'Distraction' The discussion also briefly touched upon Greta Thunberg's recent Gaza Freedom Flotilla protest. Kasparian swiftly dismissed Thunberg's involvement as an intentional 'distraction' from much more crucial humanitarian events occurring in the region. She then forcefully asserted that Israeli Defense Force soldiers are 'intentionally shooting at and killing desperate Palestinians' who are merely trying to obtain humanitarian aid. Kasparian furthermore pointedly stated, 'They starved Palestinians for months, and then as the Palestinians are desperate for food, they lure them in with this Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and shoot at them.' She passionately highlighted that 'upward of 200 people since late May have been shot at and killed by Israeli soldiers.' Kasparian emotionally urged the audience, 'Do not forget that.' Additionally, she tragically cited the '232 journalists in Gaza that have been slaughtered by the IDF,' intensifying her condemnation. Public Reaction and Lingering Questions Ana Kasparian's raw, unfiltered, and passionate display on live television quickly resonated with many online audiences. Her fervent arguments certainly polarized viewers, generating substantial public discourse across various digital platforms. However, clips of the outburst spread rapidly on social media, with supporters praising Kasparian's passion while critics slammed her conduct as unprofessional. The episode underscored the deep divisions over the Gaza conflict, with heated exchanges replacing diplomatic dialogue in mainstream media debates. Short link : Post Views: 8

Israel Approves Gaza City Takeover Plan Despite Rising Hostage Fears
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced early Friday that the security cabinet approved a plan to take over Gaza City, marking a significant escalation in Israel's 22-month war with Hamas. The ongoing offensive has already resulted in over 60,000 Palestinian deaths, widespread displacement, and a looming famine in the region. The late-night decision came despite international pressure to end the war and domestic protests over the fate of remaining hostages. Israel's military chief, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, reportedly warned that occupying Gaza City could endanger around 20 hostages still alive and further strain military resources. Netanyahu's office stated that the military will prepare to take control of Gaza City while providing humanitarian aid to civilians outside combat zones. Despite ongoing bombardments, Gaza City remains one of the few areas not designated as an Israeli buffer zone. A significant ground operation could displace tens of thousands more and disrupt food delivery to the already starving population. War Toll and Humanitarian Crisis Deepen Israel's offensive has displaced most of Gaza's population, destroyed vast areas, and pushed the territory toward famine. Gaza City remains one of the few areas outside Israeli buffer zones, though repeated bombardments have devastated neighborhoods. However, another major ground operation could displace tens of thousands more and further obstruct food delivery to hunger-stricken civilians. Speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu said Israel intends to control all of Gaza to remove Hamas and secure its borders. He added that Israel plans to hand the territory to Arab forces 'that will govern it properly without threatening us.' However, the approved plan stops short of full control, possibly to pressure Hamas into accepting a ceasefire on Israel's terms. Hostage Families Voice Anger Relatives of hostages accused Netanyahu of prolonging the war to appease far-right allies who favor escalation and population relocation. Yehuda Cohen, father of a captive soldier, said Netanyahu is 'working only for himself.' On Thursday, 42 people died, including 13 seeking aid in a military zone in southern Gaza. UN convoys and aid sites have repeatedly seen deadly chaos in recent weeks, with witnesses accusing Israeli forces of firing on crowds, with Israel denying targeting civilians, saying only warning shots were fired. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israel's military offensive has killed over 61,000 Palestinians, though the ministry does not specify how many were fighters or civilians, with the UN and independent experts consider these figures the most reliable estimates.

China expresses ‘serious concern' over Israel plan to control Gaza
China expressed on Friday 'serious concerns' over Israel's plan to take control of Gaza City, urging it to 'immediately cease its dangerous actions.' 'Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people and is an inseparable part of Palestinian territory,' a foreign ministry spokesperson told AFP in a message. 'The correct way to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to secure the release of hostages is an immediate ceasefire,' they added. 'A complete resolution to the Gaza conflict hinges on a ceasefire; only then can a path to de-escalation be paved and regional security ensured,' the spokesperson said. Israel's military will 'take control' of Gaza City under a plan proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and approved by his security cabinet, his office said in a statement Friday. Nearly two years into the war in Gaza, Netanyahu faces mounting pressure at home and abroad for a truce to pull the territory's more than two million people back from the brink of famine and free the hostages held by Palestinian armed groups. Under the plan to 'defeat' Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army 'will prepare to take control of Gaza City while distributing humanitarian assistance to the civilian population outside combat zones,' the premier's office said. Beijing said Friday it was 'willing to work together with the international community to help end the fighting in Gaza as soon as possible.'
