Libya welcomes "Steadfastness Convoy" for Gaza, calls for End to siege
Libya's Supreme Council of State has welcomed the entry of the Maghreb "Steadfastness Convoy" into Libyan territory, calling it "a living symbol of the connection between the Arab and Islamic peoples and the struggle of the Palestinian people."
In a statement, the Council expressed deep welcome for the convoy, which traveled by land as part of popular and humanitarian efforts to break the unjust siege on Gaza and strengthen Arab solidarity. The convoy is seen as a "practical stance against the occupation and its inhumane practices, supporting Gaza's steadfastness.
The Council affirmed Libya's unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, stating that such convoys send a clear message that the blockade is morally and legally unacceptable. It reiterated calls to activate humanitarian and diplomatic initiatives to lift the Gaza blockade, provide urgent relief, and ensure freedom of movement and supplies.
The Maghreb Convoy involving hundreds of activists, departed Tunis on Monday morning, with its vanguard crossing into Libya via the Ras Jedir border crossing on Tuesday morning.
Medical coordinator Mohammed Amin Balnour described the reception in Libya as "exceptional," with public greetings and official security salutes, and Libyans providing extensive aid.
The initiative is part of a global movement by thousands of activists from 32 countries aiming to halt Israeli actions, break the Gaza siege, and deliver aid to over two million Palestinians facing hunger.
The report notes that since October 7, 2023, Israel occupation, with American support, has been committing "genocide" in Gaza, ignoring international calls and ICJ orders.

Tunisia condemns Netanyahu's statements on "Greater Israel Vision"
Tunis - Saba: Tunisia has condemned the statements made by Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court, regarding his dream of realizing the "Greater Israel Vision." These statements represent a continuation of his provocative policies toward Arab states and a violation of their sovereignty, including a blatant and flagrant violation of international law and the principles of international legitimacy. According to the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa), Tunisia said on Thursday that these statements "only reflect the racist, colonialist, settler mentality of a rogue entity involved in crimes of genocide, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing against the steadfast Palestinian people. Such statements also represent a new attempt to liquidate the Palestinian cause and destabilize the region, amid international inability to put an end to this rampant aggression and its behavior as an aggressive force above the law and accountability." Tunisia expressed its full solidarity with the targeted Arab states, calling on the international community and the UN Security Council to assume their responsibilities and take urgent and swift action to address these aggressive policies against Arab national security, as they constitute a direct threat to international peace and security.

Armed Forces Target Lod Airport in Occupied Jaffa
Sana'a - Saba: Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip... The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and suspending airport operations. The Yemeni Armed Forces are monitoring developments on the ground in Gaza and affirm their full confidence in the ability of the heroic Mujahideen from all factions to thwart the enemy's moves and foil its plan to occupy Gaza and displace its people, Allah willing, just as they foiled the previous aggressive military operation, named "Chariots of Gideon," and its predecessors. With Allah's help, we will remain with you and by your side until victory, utilizing all our available capabilities. We will escalate our support operations until the aggression against you stops and the siege is lifted. Sana'a, Safar 20, 1447 AH August 14, 2025 AD
