Britain: Israel needs to allow UN to save Gaza's lives
Britain called on Israel to allow the United Nations to save lives in Gaza, while Tel Aviv continues its attacks on starving Palestinians queuing daily for humanitarian aid in the Strip.
This came in a British statement delivered by Fergus Eckersley, the British Political Coordinator at the UN, to the UN Security Council on Monday during a meeting on the Middle East peace process.
Apart from the oversight of the United Nations and international organizations, Tel Aviv and Washington have been implementing a limited aid distribution plan since May 27. The Israeli occupation army has been shooting Palestinians queuing for aid, forcing them to choose between starvation and being shot.
Eckersley said, "The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's operations, which are supposed to save lives, are themselves resulting in massive human losses."
This comes as attacks on Palestinians at aid distribution points continue, leaving hundreds dead and wounded in a scene that exacerbates the ongoing genocide for the 22nd consecutive month. Israeli soldiers and officials have admitted to deliberately shooting at unarmed civilians simply seeking a living.
The British official stressed that Israel's measures to deliver aid to Gaza are inhumane and that it must allow the United Nations to save lives there.
He continued, "We also need a ceasefire because the suffering in Gaza is horrific and cannot continue."
Eckersley emphasized that "the United Nations is able to deliver aid to Gaza without endangering the lives of civilians."

President Pezeshkian: Zionist-American Aggression on Iran is Mockery of International Law
Tehran – SABA: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated on Tuesday that the Zionist-American aggression against his country constitutes a mockery of international law. In a message sent to the International Conference on Financing for Development, President Pezeshkian said: "The Zionist-American aggression, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of more than 6,000 civilians in Iran, is a blatant violation of the UN Charter, the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and the fundamental principles of international human rights law," according to the IRNA news agency. He emphasized that this aggression ridicules international efforts aimed at promoting multilateralism and respect for international law, calling on UN member states to condemn this illegal act of aggression. Pezeshkian also addressed the economic, trade, and financial discrimination faced by developing countries, expressing regret over such practices within international financial institutions. He called for reforms in relevant procedures to improve the situation of developing nations, expressing hope that the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development would effectively address these challenges and produce tangible, practical steps in this direction. This statement comes amid escalating tensions following recent attacks on Iran, with Tehran positioning itself as a victim of Western-Zionist aggression while rallying international support against what it describes as unlawful and oppressive policies.

Zionist Settlers Burn Hundreds of Trees South of Nablus
Nablus – SABA: A group of Zionist settlers set fire today, Tuesday, to hundreds of trees in the town of Duma, located south of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank of Palestine. According to Sanad News Agency, citing local sources, settlers from the Yitzhar settlement ignited fires across dozens of dunums along the bypass road, leading to the burning of hundreds of olive trees. The sources added that residents, along with civil defense crews, rushed to extinguish the fire and contain the flames. However, the settlers and Israeli occupation forces deliberately obstructed the efforts, preventing fire trucks from accessing water from the village's nearby well near the Al-Murabba'a checkpoint.
