Hamas comments on US envoy visit to Gaza
The movement said Witkoff's statements attempted to portray aid distribution as peaceful and orderly, contradicting the reality on the ground, where ongoing military operations have killed over 1,300 civilians while receiving aid.
Hamas also criticized the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) overseen by Witkoff, describing it as part of the broader crime and as a contributor to what it called a continuing policy of starvation and genocide.
The group accused the US administration of being a full partner in 'the crime of starvation and genocide,' and urged Washington to take historical responsibility by withdrawing its support for 'Israeli' actions and working toward a ceasefire agreement that would end the assault, ensure the withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces, and lift the blockade on Gaza.
Hamas stressed that aligning with 'Israel' would only deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and prolong the conflict in the region.

Australia pledges additional $20 million for Gaza
The Australian government today announced an additional $20 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza, bringing its total contribution to over $130 million since October 7, 2023. This new funding is earmarked for critical supplies, including food and medical provisions for field hospitals, specifically targeting women and children in the besieged Strip. The $20 million package will be distributed among key international partners: $6 million to the UN World Food Programme for food supplies, $5 million to UNICEF for children's nutritional support, $5 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross for essential needs and healthcare, $2 million for relief support with the UK, and $2 million to the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization for field hospitals. The commitment comes as the humanitarian situation in Gaza is described as a "catastrophe," with widespread starvation, severe malnutrition, and a rising death toll, including 93 children, due to hunger-related causes. Aid delivery remains severely hampered by chaos and obstruction, with UN agencies reporting that much of the aid entering Gaza does not reach distribution warehouses due to 'Israeli' military restrictions and internal lawlessness. Foreign Minister Penny Wong reiterated Australia's firm diplomatic stance, calling on 'Israel' for a "full and immediate resumption of aid to Gaza" in line with International Court of Justice orders, stating that "The suffering and starvation of civilians in Gaza must end". Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has also asserted that 'Israel' has "clearly" breached international law by impeding food entry. This latest aid pledge and Australia's increasingly assertive diplomatic language follow significant domestic pressure, including large-scale anti-war protests across major cities on the same day as the announcement. Public opinion surveys in May 2025 indicated that 82% of Australians viewed 'Israel's' blockade of Gaza as "unjustified". International aid organizations, including Oxfam, have dismissed recent 'Israeli' measures to facilitate aid as "theatrics, token gestures dressed up as progress," emphasizing that airdrops are "insufficient" and a ceasefire is essential for safe delivery.

'No Special Treatment': Hamas sets terms as Netanyahu begs red cross for hostage aid
ALBAWABA - The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been officially asked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to help Israeli prisoners being held in Gaza by getting them food and medical care right away. This was done after troubling video footage showed that the prisoners' health was getting worse, especially the hostages Avitar David and Rom Braslavsky, who looked like they were seriously starved because of Gaza's growing humanitarian crisis. Netanyahu asked Julian Lirisson, who is in charge of the ICRC in Israel and the Palestinian areas, to let the prisoners be helped right away. He said that Hamas was behind a worldwide effort to spread false information about hunger in Gaza, saying that "our hostages are actually starving because they are being brutally abused physically and mentally." But quickly, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed branch of Hamas, said through Abu Ubaida that they were ready to let the Red Cross deliver aid to the Israeli hostages—as long as Israel agreed to permanently open humanitarian corridors and stop attacking from the air while the aid was being delivered. Abu Ubaida made it clear that the prisoners are not being intentionally starved, but are simply living in the same difficult conditions as Hamas soldiers and the rest of the Palestinian people. "They eat what our fighters and people eat," he said, making it clear that the resistance would not give special treatment to them while more than two million people in Gaza are under lockdown. The statement also said that Israel's constant bombings and failure to allow regular entry for humanitarian groups have made things worse in Gaza and made it harder to help. ❗️Hamas is READY to deliver food to hostages with Red Cross On the condition that Israel allow 'food and medicine to ALL our people' in Gaza Evitar David's fate is back in Netanyahu's hands August 3, 2025 Families want a deal. Families of the hostages protested in Tel Aviv and asked the Netanyahu government to quickly come up with a way for their loved ones to be freed. The families were furious that the government had kept up the war and not been able to free the hostages, calling promises of a military answer a "deceptive illusion." Israeli media say that a lot of family members think that the only way to move forward is to negotiate a full exchange deal that stops the war and gets the prisoners home. Israel thinks that about 50 of its people are still being held captive in Gaza, and that about 20 of them are still living. Meanwhile, more than 10,800 Palestinians are being held in Israeli jails, where they are said to be tortured, starved, and not getting enough medical care. Many of them have died, according to reports from Palestinian and Israeli rights groups. Negotiations Held Up and Hamas's Offer Recent talks in Doha, which were handled by Qatar and Egypt and backed by the U.S., fell apart because Israel wouldn't change its mind about wanting to keep troops in Gaza, wouldn't end the war, and wouldn't accept key relief supplies. Hamas has said again that it is ready to free all Israeli hostages at once, but only if there is an end to the fighting, Israel leaves Gaza, and Palestinian prisoners are freed. But Netanyahu has kept adding new conditions, like silencing Palestinian groups and reclaiming control over Gaza, which make any possible deal even less likely. As pressure builds up at home and around the world, the humanitarian situation keeps getting worse. Hostages and bystanders are taking the brunt of the long-running war.

Abu Obaida says Hamas ready to deliver aid to 'Israeli' captives with conditions
Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas' military wing Al-Qassam Brigades, said Sunday the Palestinian group is ready to cooperate with the Red Cross to deliver food and medicine to 'Israeli' captives in Gaza. In a statement by Abu Obaida on his Telegram channel, he said Hamas would agree to the deliveries on two conditions: 'The natural and permanent opening of humanitarian corridors to allow food and medicine to reach all people in Gaza, and a halt to all occupation air sorties during the times aid packages are delivered to the prisoners.' Abu Obaida added that the Al-Qassam Brigades are not intentionally starving the prisoners. The captives "eat what our mujahideen and all our people eat, and they will not get a special privilege in light of the crime of starvation and siege,' he said. Earlier today, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Sunday to deliver food and medical assistance to 'Israeli' captives still held in Gaza, his office said in a statement. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with the head of the Red Cross delegation in our region, Julien Lerisson, and requested his involvement in providing food to our hostages and providing them with immediate medical treatment,' the statement read. The request came days after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) released videos of two 'Israeli' captives held in Gaza appearing emaciated.
