UN Rejects to Partner with US-backed Humanitarian Organization to Distribute Aid in Gaza
Taarek Refaat
A UN spokesperson said Thursday that the organization will not participate in a newly established US-backed body distributing aid in Gaza, arguing that its mechanism does not adhere to the principles of neutrality and independence.
Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General said in a statement, "I have made it clear that we engage in aid operations that are consistent with our core principles. We have repeatedly stated that this distribution plan is not consistent with our core principles, including the principles of impartiality, neutrality, and independence, and we will not participate in it."

Hamas Appeals to UN and Security Council to End Gaza Siege
H-Tayea The Palestinian movement Hamas has called for an independent international investigation into what it described as Israel's systematic crimes, urging the prosecution of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. In an official statement, Hamas emphasized the need for the United Nations and its affiliated agencies to remain the sole legitimate and neutral parties responsible for the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. The movement further appealed for an urgent intervention by the UN Security Council and the international community to halt what it termed as 'acts of genocide' and to lift the siege on the people of Gaza. Meanwhile, in a separate development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in court on Monday for what is known as a 'cross-examination session' as part of his ongoing corruption trial. According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu's attorney, Amit Hadad, requested the session be cut short due to an "important diplomatic call." However, he did not disclose the nature of the call and noted that current legal restrictions prohibit him from direct communication with the Prime Minister during the cross-examination proceedings. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
