UN Security Council to vote on Gaza ceasefire resolution amid humanitarian crisis
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council scheduled a vote Wednesday on a resolution which demands 'an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza respected by all parties.' U.N. diplomats said the United States is likely to veto it.
The resolution, drafted by the council's 10 elected members who serve two-year terms, reiterates its demand for the release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups following their Oct. 7, 2023 surprise attack in southern Israel.

Devastation of war leaves Gazans unable to celebrate Eid
For the first time in his short life, Imad Dib, orphaned by the Gaza war, was preparing to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha without his parents. "Dad would buy us a sheep, but now we are alone," the 11-year-old said. Before the war, he said, "I loved Eid so much, I was excited for it each year, to be able to celebrate and wear new clothes," he said of the Eid tradition, looking weary in his patched-up shoes. Every day, the boy returns to the ashes and charred tarp, which are all that's left of the tent in which he once sheltered with his family. Dib said he wanted to remember his parents, who were killed in an Israeli air strike. This year, rather than celebrating, he is preoccupied simply with the thought of how he and his four sisters will find anything at all to eat. - Not one order - According to Muslim tradition, Eid al-Adha commemorates the sacrifice Ibrahim (known to Christians and Jews as Abraham) was about to make by killing his son, before the angel Gabriel intervened and offered him a sheep to sacrifice instead. In a normal year, Gazans would now be preparing for big family get-togethers, traditionally centred around the sacrifice and eating of a sheep. Markets would be busy with people shopping for sweets and pastries, while toy shops and those selling children's clothes would stay open late into the night for last-minute gifts. Even poverty and the years-long Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory could not get in the way of the festivities. Yet 20 months of war between Israel and Hamas, sparked by the militant group's October 2023 attack, have brought an end to all that. With entire neighbourhoods levelled, almost all of the population displaced, often multiple times, and severe shortages brought on by a two-month blockade on aid, there is little possibility of celebration. "This time of year, I might receive up to 300 orders, including for calves and sheep, but this year I haven't had a single one," said Ahmed al-Zayigh, a butcher in Gaza City. Mohammed Othman, a 36-year-old displaced with his family to Deir el-Balah, said "One kilo of meat has become a dream... we just hope to find bread to feed our children on the day of Eid, and they will rejoice over flour as if it were meat". Many Gazans said they longed for a time when it was possible, as prescribed in the Koran, to share part of their meat with the less fortunate. - 'It tastes of blood' - "Tomorrow we will go to the Eid prayer," said Hamza Sobeh, 37, living in the Al-Mawasi displacement camp in southern Gaza. Sobeh was observing the fast ritual, which is believed to erase sins on the eve of the festival, and reciting takbirs -- prayers glorifying God -- with his children. "I want them to feel the joy of Eid, at least in a religious sense, so that they don't lose hope," he said, adding that he was considering buying them some date-filled pastries. However, the majority of people interviewed by AFP journalists said they would not be able to recreate even a sliver of the usual celebrations, and not just because it was unaffordable. "This Eid tastes of blood," said Sami Felfel, from the north of the Gaza Strip. "These are the hardest years we've lived in Gaza," he said. str/crb/mj/dcp/dv

Merz gifts Trump historic birth certificate of his German grandfather
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who was in Washington on Thursday for his inaugural visit to the White House, has gifted President Donald Trump a copy of the birth certificate of Trump's German-born grandfather, inviting the US leader to visit his ancestral lands. Born 1869 in what was then part of the Kingdom of Bavaria, Friedrich Trump grew up in Kallstadt, a village tucked away in the lush winegrowing valleys lining the Rhine river to the south of Frankfurt. Trump's paternal grandmother Elisabeth was born across the street from the Trumps' home in Kallstadt in 1880. Merz first held a phone call with Trump shortly after taking office in early May, during which he said he had invited the president to visit Germany, an invitation he has now extended publicly. Friedrich Trump left Kallstadt for the US in 1885 where he worked as a hairdresser among other things, before becoming a US citizen in 1892, changing his name to Frederick. He later sought to return to Kallstadt, but local officials refused to grant permission, citing a failure to properly deregister when he left in 1885. Friedrich and his now wife Elisabeth boarded a US-bound ship in 1905, and Trump's father was born in New York only months later. While Friedrich passed away there in 1918, Elisabeth would go on to lead a long life before she died in 1966. Kallstadt first rose to international fame amid Trump's first presidential bid in 2016, when the media turned their attention to the village with just a little over 1,000 inhabitants following his victory. During a visit to the White House in 2017, then-chancellor Angela Merkel gifted Trump a 1705 copperplate engraving of a map that includes the winegrowing village - but the two-time US president has yet to pay a visit to the region. Apart from stopovers at the US military's Ramstein Air Base, Trump has only visited Germany once as president, for the 2017 G20 summit. It remains to be seen whether Trump will take Merz up on the offer. Kallstadt Mayor Thomas Jarowek said he was ready to show the US president around - including a visit to the local church were his grandparents were baptized. In May, Merz said that he had invited Trump to come to Germany and visit the hometown of his ancestors during a telephone conversation. The President did not reveal in the Oval Office whether he would accept the invitation – at least not in front of the cameras.
