UAE sends food aid to Gaza amid continued humanitarian crisis
The UAE has sent aid to a camp in the Gaza Strip, providing food to thousands of people in the latest dispatch under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, an initiative aimed at alleviating the humanitarian crisis facing Palestinians in the enclave. The UAE in late May had reached a deal with Israeli to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid, which is expected to address the food needs of around 15,000 people in Gaza. The Gulf country had earlier rejected Israel's request to fund the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a newly established initiative that has been marked with controversy and violence at aid distribution centres. At least 397 Palestinian aid seekers have been killed and 3,000 others have been wounded since late May, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed the UAE's support for the people of Palestine and its commitment to helping meet their humanitarian needs.

PA prime minister asks Arab League for financial support as Israel continues to withold $2.2bn
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa asked the Arab League for financial support since the Israeli government is withholding approximately $2.2bn in Palestinian tax revenues, Wafa news agency reported on Wednesday. Mustafa told the secretary general of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, that their support is essential to enable the Palestinian government to fulfil its obligations, including paying salaries and allowances to more than 170,000 beneficiaries and supporting more than 150,000 families receiving social assistance. Israel has been withholding tax revenues under various pretexts since 2019. The tax revenues represent duties imposed on goods imported into Palestine either via Israel or through Israeli crossings. Mustafa underscored the importance of international and Arab support in pressuring the Israeli government to release the $2.2 bn in tax revenues, also referred to as clearance funds. The Palestinian government says the withholding of the funds has put it under severe strain, preventing it from fulfilling its obligations to provide essential services in key sectors such as health, education, social protection, and security. Gheit says he will coordinate with Arab and European countries, as well as the United States, to exert pressure on Israel to release the withheld funds to Palestinians. The Palestinian economy has been thrown into further jeopardy since last Tuesday, when Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich directed his office to cancel a critical policy for sustaining the Palestinian economy in retaliation for the decision by five countries to sanction him and fellow far-right minister, Itamar Ben Gvir.
