Al Jazeera denounces Israeli incitement campaign against its journalists in Gaza
Doha
The Israeli occupation forces and their spokespersons continue to escalate a campaign of incitement targeting Al Jazeera Media Network's correspondents and journalists in the Gaza Strip, with a particular focus on correspondent Anas Al-Sharif.
Al Jazeera Media Network has strongly condemned the ongoing campaign of incitement against its staff, which has persisted since the start of its coverage of the Israeli war on Gaza.
In a press statement, the Network said: 'This incitement represents a dangerous attempt to justify the targeting of our journalists on the ground. We hold the Israeli occupation authorities fully responsible for the safety of our personnel and urge influential states and international organisations to take immediate action to protect all journalists in Gaza, allowing them to perform their duties freely and without intimidation.'
'Israel's continued obstruction of international journalists from entering Gaza to report on the catastrophic situation has placed an even greater burden on Al Jazeera's journalists, who have shouldered the responsibility of conveying the truth as they witness it firsthand, despite enduring extreme hardships, including starvation, violence, terror, and a complete lack of life's most basic necessities,' the statement added.

UK plans to recognise Palestine in September unless Israel halts Gaza war
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has told his cabinet that the United Kingdom will recognise the state of Palestine by September unless Israel takes 'substantive steps' to end its war on Gaza and commits to a lasting peace process. According to a government statement issued after an emergency cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Starmer said the move could come before the United Nations General Assembly in New York unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire, halts plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, and supports a political path towards a two-state solution. '[Starmer] reiterated that there is no equivalence between Israel and Hamas and that our demands on Hamas remain, that they must release all the hostages, sign up to a ceasefire, accept that they will play no role in the government of Gaza, and disarm,' the statement added. Starmer interrupted ministers' summer holidays to discuss a draft European-led peace initiative and plans to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza, where the UN has warned of looming famine. While past UK governments have supported Palestinian statehood 'when the time is right', none has publicly tied it to a specific deadline or laid out preconditions so explicitly. Israel lashed out at the UK following the announcement, calling it a 'reward for Hamas' that would only undermine diplomatic efforts to end the war on Gaza. In a statement posted on X, Israel's Foreign Ministry claimed the UK's move would damage any chance of a ceasefire. Israel broke the last negotiated ceasefire in March. Starmer informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the plan in a phone call before making it public, Reuters reported. Details of the conversation have not been disclosed. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has denied having any talks with Starmer about Britain's recognition plans. 'We never did discuss it,' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday. 'The right time' The proposal, backed by growing voices within Starmer's own Labour Party, would mark a major shift in the UK's position, as successive governments have long delayed recognition, citing the need for 'the right time'. With pressure mounting from within Starmer's own party, his position appears to have shifted. More than half of Labour's backbench MPs have signed a letter urging the government to formally recognise a Palestinian state as leverage to push Israel towards peace. Speaking to reporters, Starmer defended the timing and conditions of the announcement, saying the decision was driven by the 'intolerable situation' in Gaza and a fear that the two-state solution was slipping out of reach. 'This is intended to further that cause,' he said. 'It's done now because I'm particularly concerned that the idea of a two-state solution is reducing and feels further away today than it has for many years.' He added that recognition of Palestine would be part of an eight-point peace plan the UK has been developing with European partners. Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron said France would formally recognise Palestine as a state, becoming the largest and most influential European nation to do so. European Union members Norway, Spain and the Republic of Ireland have previously said they recognise the State of Palestine. Labour MP Sarah Champion, who organised the letter to Starmer, said there will never be a perfect moment to recognise Palestinian statehood, but warned this might be the last chance. 'What we do have, however, is the perfect storm to prevent a two-state solution ever happening,' she said. 'It is now or never if we believe in Palestinians' right to recognition.'

Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene decries ‘genocide' in Gaza
Washington, DC – United States Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a right-wing ally of US President Donald Trump, has suggested that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, highlighting a growing schism in the Republican Party. In a social media post this week, Greene condemned the dire situation in Gaza, where an Israeli-imposed hunger crisis has killed more than 120 people. She also criticised her colleague Randy Fine, who has openly celebrated the starvation and bombardment of Palestinians. 'It's the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza,' Greene wrote. Her words echo assessments from leading human rights groups and United Nations experts, describing Israel's actions in Gaza as consistent with genocide. Genocide — defined by the United Nations as 'acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group' — is seen as one of the gravest war crimes. So far, the Israeli military has killed more than 60,000 people and turned most of Gaza into rubble. But only a handful of US lawmakers have accused Israel of genocide, making Greene's comments all the more remarkable. In the US, the legislators most vocal against Israel's war in Gaza have largely represented the political left. Greene, however, is one of the most prominent faces of Trump's right-wing Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Still, there has been increasing international pressure to denounce the Israeli blockade on Gaza, which has limited the entry of basic supplies into the territory. In recent days, images of emaciated Palestinian children and evidence of mass hunger in Gaza have sharpened the criticism against Israel in US politics. Last week, Congressman John Garamendi, a Democrat, also suggested that Israel's policies amount to genocide. 'It's impossible to look at the starvation caused by Israel's dangerous and willful failure to enable humanitarian aid and not see a genocide being committed against the people of Palestine,' said Garamendi. The US provides Israel with billions of dollars in military aid, as well as diplomatic backing at international forums. The Trump administration has nevertheless been reluctant to criticise Israel over its atrocities and blockade in Gaza. Amid that anger, Fine — another Trump ally — sparked outrage last week when he appeared to endorse Israel's starvation campaign in Gaza while also dismissing it as 'Muslim terror propaganda'. 'Release the hostages,' he wrote in a social media post earlier this week. 'Until then, starve away.' Fine, who was elected to Congress earlier this year with the endorsement of Trump and the support of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), has a history of Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian positions. For example, in 2021, when a commenter sent Fine a photo of a dead Palestinian child and asked him how he sleeps at night, Fine offered a glib response: 'Quite well, actually! Thanks for the pic!' In September of last year, he also appeared to praise the killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a US activist who was fatally shot by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank. 'Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerror ist. #FireAway,' Fine wrote in a social media post at the time. Earlier in July, top Democrats in the House of Representatives called Fine 'unhinged, racist and Islamophobic' over a social media attack on Muslim American Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Fine had responded to Omar's criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, DC, by saying: 'I'm sure it is difficult to see us welcome the killer of so many of your fellow Muslim terrorists.' But the Republican congressman's recent comments on the starvation in Gaza appear to have gone too far, even for some of Israel's staunchest supporters. The American Jewish Committee (AJC), a pro-Israel advocacy group, slammed Fine's remarks last week. 'Implying that starvation is a legitimate tactic is unacceptable,' AJC wrote in response to Fine's post. 'All those in need of humanitarian aid should receive it promptly and safely. Our leaders must focus less on scoring political points and more on doing their jobs.' For her part, Greene warned that Fine's 'awful statement will actually cause more anti-Semitism'.
