Just 36 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, Palestinian officials claim - short of 600 needed
According to the Gazan government's media office, most of the humanitarian supplies were looted and stolen - "as a result of the state of security chaos that the Israeli occupation systematically and deliberately perpetuates".
Officials say at least 600 truckloads of aid are required on a daily basis, adding: "The needs of the population are worsening."
A statement released late last night called for "the immediate opening of crossings, and the entry of aid and infant formula in sufficient quantities" - and "condemned in the strongest terms the continuation of the crime of starvation".
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, refuted this - and accused Hamas of "stirring up a slanderous propaganda campaign against Israel".
He said: "The cruelty of Hamas has no boundaries. While the State of Israel is allowing the entry of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza, the terrorists of Hamas are deliberately starving our hostages and document them in a cynical and evil manner.
"The terrorists of Hamas are deliberately starving the residents of the Strip as well, preventing them from receiving the aid."
It comes as the Palestinian Red Crescent in Gaza said its headquarters in Khan Younis were hit by an Israeli strike, killing one staff member and injuring three others.
Footage posted on social media shows a fire broke out in the building.
Indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel for a 60-day ceasefire, and a deal for the release of half the hostages still held in Gaza, ended in deadlock last week.
US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy told the families of the hostages yesterday that he was working with the Israeli government on a plan that would end the war.
Steve Witkoff claimed that Hamas was willing to disarm to stop the conflict, despite the group's repeated statements that it would not do so.
In response, Hamas said it would not disarm unless an independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.

After Mr Witkoff's meeting with the families of the hostages, Hamas released two videos of an emaciated Israeli hostage, Evyatar David, who was abducted from the Nova music festival on 7 October 2023 and has been held in captivity in Gaza since.
The 24-year-old looked skeletal, with his shoulder blades protruding from his back. He was heard saying that he had not eaten for three days. The distressing videos show him digging his own grave, he said in the footage.

Making a Palestinian State Less Likely
The Gaza aid crunch is starting to abate, as local prices fall. Why are Gazans paying for aid at all? Well, the United Nations says 87% of the aid trucks that it and its partners have tried to deliver since May 19 have been 'intercepted' by mobs or 'armed actors.' Much of the food ends up sold at market, with Hamas taking a cut. The U.N. rejects Israeli security escorts. The U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which gives free aid to Gazans at large distribution sites, has been shunned by the established aid groups. This has hindered GHF efforts to scale up—the best way to shrink the crowds at each site. For now, large masses must trek past Israel Defense Forces lines to reach these sites, while Hamas instigates stampedes. Much hunger in Gaza has been concentrated in the north, where there are no GHF sites. 'The fastest way to end the humanitarian crises in Gaza is for Hamas to SURRENDER AND RELEASE THE HOSTAGES,' President Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. He's right, but why should Hamas give up when Israel is under massive international pressure? Reveling in French, U.K. and Canadian plans to recognize a state of Palestine, Hamas has hardened its position and rejected new cease-fire talks. But even if recognizing a Palestinian state weren't a gift to Hamas now, it would still be a policy error. The Soviet bloc and its allies recognized Palestine in 1988, but the West has long insisted that recognition follow the creation of a Palestinian state, not precede it. And to create such a state, the Palestinians would have to agree to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Otherwise, a state would merely be a base from which to expand the fighting. No one should want the West Bank to become another Gaza, devoted to sacrificing its people in perpetual war against Israel. In 2000, 2001 and 2008, the Palestinian Authority (PA) rejected Israeli offers of statehood because it was unwilling to give up on the dream of a mass migration to rule all of the land 'from the river to the sea.' Instead, the PA has turned to an international pressure campaign. France, the U.K., Canada and a few others now vindicate the strategy. The U.K. makes no demands on the PA, whose state it looks to recognize. France and Canada satisfy themselves with PA 'commitments' of reform they know it has no ability or intent to keep. Real actions aren't forthcoming, so much of the world has stopped asking. Germany says sensibly that 'recognition of a Palestinian state is expected to be the end' of a peace process. But there will be no process so long as other states pressure only Israel and tell Palestinians they needn't compromise. Canada asks that the PA commit to holding elections but exclude Hamas, the largest party, from a vote. It took 20 months for PA President-for-life Mahmoud Abbas to outright condemn the Hamas massacre of Oct. 7, 2023, and the last time he held an election, in 2006, Hamas won and violently purged the PA from Gaza. The good news is that the decisions that matter aren't made in Paris, London or Ottawa. No Palestinian state is coming because the PA is weak, corrupt and intransigent, and Hamas wants to kill every Jew. International recognition can serve as a launchpad for legal warfare against Israel. But by showing Hamas that war works when fought cynically enough, and by showing the PA that it need never compromise, it pushes Palestinian statehood further away.

Israeli minister flouts 1967 agreement by praying at Al-Aqsa mosque
Ben Gvir visits Al-Aqsa compound Israel's ultra-nationalist security minister has provoked outrage by praying on the Temple Mount, violating a long-standing agreement between Israel and the Arab world. Jews are forbidden from prayer at the east Jerusalem site under the 'status quo' agreement made between Israel and Jordan in 1967. It is the holiest site in Judaism and also the location of the Al-Aqsa mosque. Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the Temple Mount while Jews around the world marked the Tisha B'Av fast day, commemorating the destruction of the first and second Holy Temples. He was filmed at the site leading a Jewish prayer. He said: 'It is precisely from here, a message must be sent [to Hamas]: to ensure that we conquer all of the Gaza Strip, declare sovereignty over the entire Gaza Strip, take down every Hamas member, and encourage voluntary migration. 'Only in this way will we bring back the hostages and win the war.' Credit: X Mr Ben-Gvir's action forced Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, to issue a statement saying that 'Israel's policy of maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount has not changed and will not change'. Saudi Arabia condemned 'in the strongest terms of the repeated provocative practices by officials of the Israeli occupation authorities against Al-Aqsa Mosque'. Its statement added: 'The Kingdom affirms that such practices fuel the conflict in the region.' The Arab nation is supporting the New York declaration with France, which recognises a Palestinian State and calls on Hamas to lay down its weapons. Other Israeli ministers and politicians visited the Temple Mount on Sunday, including Yitzhak Wasserlauf, the national resistance minister, and Sharen Haskel, deputy minister of foreign affairs. Mrs Haskel said: 'In the shadow of Oct 7, with our people still reeling from war and 50 hostages still in Hamas's dungeons of torture, the pain in Israeli society runs deep. The anger and grief are overwhelming. 'But I went up [to the Temple Mount] to remember – and to promise. To promise leadership that unites, that heals, and that protects the next generation.' Yisrael Katz, Israel's defence minister, visited the Western Wall, saying the Temple Mount was again under Israeli sovereignty after 2,000 years. He said: 'Israel haters around the world continue to make decisions against us and protest, and we will strengthen our hold and sovereignty over Jerusalem, at the Western Wall, and the Temple Mount, forever.' It is not against the status quo agreement for Jews to visit the Al-Aqsa mosque, only to pray there. Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for the Palestinian Authority, called on the international community and US to intervene 'immediately to put an end to the crimes of the settlers and the provocations of the extreme Right-wing government in Al-Aqsa Mosque, stop the war on the Gaza Strip and bring in humanitarian aid'. Jordan condemned Mr Ben-Gvir's prayer as 'an unacceptable provocation, and a reprehensible escalation.' Israel has 'no sovereignty over the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque', Jordan added. About 1,200 Jews visited the Temple Mount on Sunday according to the Waqf, the authority which manages Islamic buildings at the site. The Temple Mount has been a flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades. Jordan is the custodian of the site, but Israel controls security around it. Palestinians and Israeli police force often clash there, especially during Ramadan and Passover, when religious Jews visit. Ultra-nationalist religious Jews have sought to regain full control of the entire site, while Hamas and Islamic Jihad supporters have attacked Israeli police forces from the site. Hamas has often said that the Al-Aqsa compound/Temple Mount was a red line, vowing to 'liberate' all of Jerusalem through jihad. The Oct 7 massacre was also named the 'Al-Aqsa flood' by the terror group. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Novelist David Grossman says Israel is committing ‘genocide' in Gaza, joining a rising chorus
Grossman, a longtime left-wing peace activist whose son was killed while serving in the Israeli army in Lebanon in 2006, has joined a growing number of Jews accusing Israel. The Israeli novelist David Grossman has joined a growing number of Jews and Jewish organizations saying that Israel is carrying out a 'genocide' in Gaza. Grossman is a longtime left-wing peace activist whose son was killed while serving in the Israeli army in Lebanon in 2006. He told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica in an interview published on Friday that he had not wanted to level the charge, which Israel rejects, and did so only with 'intense pain and a broken heart.' 'For many years I refused to use this word,' he said. 'But now, after the images I've seen, what I've read, and what I've heard from people who were there, I can't help but use it.' He noted that the charge, leveled by pro-Palestinian activists throughout the Israel-Hamas war, is especially freighted when applied to the Jewish state. Israel was born after the Holocaust, which the word 'genocide' was coined to describe. 'How did we come to be accused of genocide?' Grossman said. 'Just uttering that word — 'genocide' — in reference to Israel, to the Jewish people, that alone, the fact that this association can even be made, should be enough to tell us that something very wrong is happening to us.' International furor over Gaza's humanitarian aid Grossman's comments come amid an international furor over a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, 22 months into the war that began when Hamas attacked Israel from the enclave. Last month, the genocide scholar Omer Bartov announced in a New York Times essay that he had changed his earlier stance and concluded that Israel's campaign now constituted genocide. And earlier this week,B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel, said they, too, had come to the conclusion. 'Recognizing this truth is not easy. Even for us, people who have spent years documenting state violence against Palestinians, the mind resists it. It rejects the facts like poison, tries to spit them out,' Yuli Novak, B'Tselem's executive director, wrote in The Guardian. 'But the poison is here.' Israel and its defenders staunchly deny that it is committing genocide in either intent or effect, noting that despite a heavy death toll the population of Gaza does not reflect a sustained campaign of elimination. 'Few claims are more offensive and blatantly wrong,' the American Jewish Committee said in a response to Bartov's essay. It remains to be seen whether Grossman's comments change the conversation in Israel the way he said his criticism of the occupation landed differently after his son was killed. 'There were people who stereotyped me, who considered me this naive leftist who would never send his own children into the army, who didn't know what life was made of,' he said in 2010. 'I think those people were forced to realize that you can be very critical of Israel and yet still be an integral part of it.' Solve the daily Crossword
