Did Netanyahu Re-Ignite Genocide in Gaza to Avoid Corruption Trial?
According to Palestinian health officials, hospitals in Gaza — already struggling after months of genocide and hostilities afterward — are overwhelmed with casualties. Medical workers warn that the death toll is expected to rise as they struggle to treat the wounded.
Israel had ordered the closure of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, preventing Palestinian patients from seeking medical treatment abroad. The blockade on humanitarian aid and goods also remains in place, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
A video shared by Palestinians journalists in Gaza shows a horse-drawn cart carrying wounded Palestinians stumbling among the traumatizing chaos and causing the injured onboard to fall down.
'It's cruelly painful to watch the video of the horse cart bumping into the hospital gate in north Gaza before the wounded banged on the ground. Because there is no damn fuel, no damn ambulances. Shame on me for watching this,' said Gazan poet and genocide survivor, Mosab Abu Toha.
White House secretary, Caroline Leavitt, confirmed that Israel had even consulted US President Donald Trump prior to the attacks and that he had authorized them, threatening all those he deemed 'terrorists' in the Middle East.
'As president Trump has made it clear, Hamas, the Houthis, Iran, all those who seek to terrorize not just Israel but also the United States of America, will see a price to pay, all hell will break loose,' said Leavitt, proudly.
Steve Wittkoff, the US special envoy to the Middle East, initially attempted to coerce Hamas into accepting a ceasefire proposal that favored the US-Israeli terms. The offer sought the release of Israeli hostages but did not guarantee a transition to the second phase of the original ceasefire agreement, which included the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Hamas rejected the deal, viewing it as an attempt to undermine their negotiating position. The development adds further strain to ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating the conflict.
'What happened with the Houthis yesterday ought to inform as to where we stand with the regard to terrorist actions,' Wittkoff said in reference to the massive US-led attack that killed at least 53 people in Yemen. 'I would encourage Hamas to get much more sensible than they have been,' he threatened,
Notably, Hamas had already agreed to release American Israeli-American soldier,Idan Alexander as well as the bodies of four other hostages holding dual citizenship, showing their willingness to cooperate and abide by the terms of the ceasefire.
Refusing to address its complicity in war crimes in Gaza and the amounting attacks on Palestinian human rights in the country, the US government continues to hone in on the the October 7 attacks by announcing , earlier on Monday, the launch 'Joint Task Force October 7' in order to 'focus on targeting, charging, and securing for prosecution in the United States the direct perpetrators of the October 7.'
On the heels of the recent Israeli airstrikes, Hamas accused 'Netanyahu and his extremist government' of endangering the lives of its remaining hostages by resuming its assault on Gaza, further escalating tensions in the region.
Hamas also called upon people in Arab and Islamic nations, along with the 'free people of the world' to mobilize and take to the street in solidarity with the Palestinian people and protest against the Israeli assaults.
While the families of Israeli hostages expressed shock over the apparent end of the ceasefire and fear over their relatives in Gaza, the impromptu attacks couldn't have happened at a more convenient time for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who was due to testify in his corruption case today.

Palestinian Minister: Morocco's Humanitarian Aid Will Have Tangible, Positive Impact on Gaza
Palestinian Minister in charge of official information, Ahmed Assaf, has celebrated the latest humanitarian aid package Morocco sent to Gaza as part of a royal order. Last week, King Mohammed VI instructed 180 tons of humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza to assist civilians amid a starvation war launched by Israeli Occupation Forces amid the ongoing genocide in the Palestinian enclave. The aid pack consists of essential food supplies, milk, and products specifically intended for children. It also includes medicines and surgical equipment for the most vulnerable populations. Blankets, suitable tents, and other equipment are also part of the humanitarian aid pack. Many Palestinian officials have commended Morocco's humanitarian initiative, including Assaf, who said that the aid will provide significant, urgent assistance to the people of Gaza. Gaza residents have been suffering from blockade and famine, he pointed out, adding that this royal gesture is part of a series of initiatives that Morocco has been taking under the leadership of King Mohammed VI. He also reaffirmed that Morocco has always defended the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people at all levels, concluding that the initiative will contribute to strengthening and developing the historical ties between Morocco and Palestine. Forced starvation has claimed the lives of many Palestinians in recent weeks, particularly children and newborns. Over 190 Palestinians have to date died due to hunger. The number includes 96 children, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. In the last 24 hours, Gaza hospitals recorded five new deaths due to famine and malnutrition. This adds to the dilemma Palestinians are facing due to the ongoing genocide. In the past 24 hours, the IOF killed at least 138 people and wounded 771 others. The death toll of the genocidal war has reached over 151,442 since Israel launched its merciless Gaza campaign in October 2023. Tags: Gaza starvationMohammed VI

Gaza Starvation, Genocide: Death Toll on the Rise
Rabat — The Israeli genocidal machine is still claiming the lives of innocent civilians in Gaza, amid acute starvation in the enclave. In the past 24 hours, at least 135 Palestinians, including 87 people seeking aid, were killed in Israeli Occupation Forces across Gaza. Meanwhile, Medical sources reported the deaths of 5 Gazans in the past 24 hours due to Israeli-induced starvation, bringing the death toll from famine-related issues to 139, including 96 children. The catastrophic situation has been alarming since Israel applied a blockade on food and aid entry via the border crossings since March 2, leading to a staggering starvation intertwined with the genocidal war. International human rights organizations have issued alarming warnings about the situation, calling Israel's approach a weaponization of food and aid for genocidal purposes. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has previously warned that famine among children under five doubled between March and June due to the ongoing blockade. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have soared, as nearly one in five children under five suffers from acute malnutrition. Plans for a total seizure of Gaza Israeli media sources report that Prime Minister Netanyahu's war cabinet is set to approve full occupation of Gaza, including areas where Hamas captives remain. Palestinian officials have strongly condemned the plan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the international community to 'intervene urgently to prevent their implementation, whether they are a form of pressure, trial balloons to gauge international reactions, or genuinely serious.' Israel faces growing international isolation As the genocide and starvation war unfold in Gaza, major international powers are calling on Netanyahu's government to halt its hostilities against civilians and allow for food and aid entry to Gaza. Not only that, but a growing chorus of countries is considering endorsing Palestine's statehood during the upcoming 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, to be held in New York in September. The catastrophic, inhumane situation in Gaza has prompted major international powers to consider recognizing the statehood of Palestine, including France, the UK, and Canada. The decision follows a humanitarian perspective and through repeated references to a possible annexation of Palestinian territories, which political analysts describe as extremely worrying developments in the enclave.

Moroccan Medical Aid Reaches Gaza Amid Ongoing Starvation Crisis
Rabat – Trucks carrying Moroccan medical and food aid have arrived in Gaza, bringing much-needed relief to the Palestinian population suffering under an ongoing Israeli blockade and genocide. A video shared by the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency on Monday shows trucks loaded with supplies making their way through the streets of Gaza. The trucks were marked with the Moroccan flag and the logo of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Solidarity. Teams accompanied the trucks as they delivered the aid to warehouses, where it was unloaded. The agency later posted photos showing Moroccan food aid, including baby food, canned goods, flour, and fruit, reaching storage centers in Deir el-Balah, a city in central Gaza. This support comes at a time of severe hardship. Gaza is facing a deepening humanitarian crisis due to Israel's blockade, which has led to widespread malnutrition and starvation. Many hospitals are struggling to operate, and basic goods have become scarce and unaffordable for most people. Morocco has sent several batches of aid to Gaza in recent days. The aid has been welcomed by many Palestinians who say it is helping to meet urgent needs. However, aid organizations warn that the volume of assistance is still far from enough. Gaza's Government Media Office said that only 85 aid trucks entered the enclave yesterday, and many of them were looted before reaching those in need. Both the media office and the United Nations have said that between 500 to 600 trucks are needed each day to provide proper support to the population, reduce looting, and lower the high prices caused by shortages. That number has never been met since aid was allowed to enter Gaza after a long delay caused by the Israeli siege. The situation remains extremely dangerous. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, at least 135 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours, including 87 people who were waiting for aid. The attacks also left 771 people injured. The ministry reported that five people died from hunger during the same period, bringing the total number of hunger-related deaths to 193, including 96 children. Three more bodies were recovered from under the rubble of previous Israeli bombings. The number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid has also continued to rise. Since May 27, when Israel introduced a controversial new aid distribution system through the GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation), 1,655 people seeking aid have been killed, and more than 11,800 have been injured.
