New Zealand says "considering" recognition of Palestinian state
New Zealand's Cabinet is set to make a formal decision in September on whether to recognize a Palestinian state, following an announcement from Foreign Minister Winston Peters. The move follows a period of mounting international pressure and domestic debate, and marks an acceleration of New Zealand's long-held position that recognition is a matter of "when, not if". The government's approach is described as "careful, methodical and deliberate," with a key focus on determining if the "pre-requisites for a viable and legitimate Palestinian state" exist in terms of security, political stability, diplomacy, and economic viability, a statement by the country's foreign minister said. A central condition for recognition is that Hamas must disarm and be excluded from any future Palestinian governance. The government recently designated the entire Hamas organization as a 'terrorist entity' and banned extremist 'Israeli' settlers involved in violence in the West Bank. This deliberation places New Zealand squarely within a shifting international consensus. The country recently joined 15 other nations in signing the "New York Call," a proposal to formally recognize Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly in September. This aligns New Zealand with countries like Australia, France, and the UK, all of which have made similar pledges or are moving towards recognition. Meanwhile, Spain, Ireland, and Norway have already granted formal recognition. At home, the government's cautious stance has drawn sharp criticism from opposition parties. Labour leader Chris Hipkins called the government's position "well overdue," arguing it lacks a "coherent position" and is unable to articulate clear criteria for its decision. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick described the government's statements as "empty" and introduced a member's bill to sanction 'Israel'. The bill has the support of all 55 opposition MPs and would only need six government MPs to support it to be brought to Parliament for debate.

Jordan condemns ‘Israeli' targeting of journalists in Gaza
Jordan condemned in the strongest terms the systematic 'Israeli 'targeting of journalists covering the war on the Gaza Strip, after the latest strikes that killed Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammad Qraiqa, along with cameramen Ibrahim al-Dhahir and Mohammad Nawfal. Foreign ministry spokesperson Dr. Sufian Qudah affirmed the kingdom's rejection and condemnation of targeting journalists, calling it a war crime that requires the perpetrators to be held accountable. He stressed that these crimes against media professionals are a "flagrant violation of international law, international humanitarian law, and the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War." Qudah renewed the call for the international community to "assume its legal and moral responsibilities" and to immediately stop the 'Israeli' aggression. He also called for providing international protection for journalistic, medical, and humanitarian staff working in Gaza, and for fulfilling the Palestinian people's legitimate rights to establish their independent state on their national soil, while holding the perpetrators of these crimes accountable.

Italy's Meloni expresses 'deep concern' over ‘Israel's' Gaza plan
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Monday expressed "deep concern" over 'Israel's' plan to take control of Gaza City, in a telephone conversation with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Meloni shared "her deep concern over recent Israeli decisions, which appear to be leading to further military escalation" and slammed the humanitarian situation in the Strip as "unjustifiable and unacceptable", her office said. Additionally, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said in an interview published Monday that Italy may consider imposing sanctions on 'Israel', not as a move against the state itself, but to 'save its citizens from a government that has lost its reason and humanity.' He compared 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's conduct in Gaza to Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine, warning that recent events in Gaza and the West Bank mark a 'qualitative leap' requiring decisive action. Crosetto condemned 'Israel's' actions in Gaza as 'the pure denial of the law and the founding values of our civilization,' saying they go beyond a military operation with collateral damage, warning that the scale of civilian suffering shows 'Israeli' aggression has strayed far from legitimate self-defense. While rejecting recognition of a Palestinian state at present, calling it a 'political provocation' without a functioning state in place, the minister reaffirmed support for a two-state solution, emphasizing the need to end Hamas' rule without displacing the Palestinian people.
