Top diplomat slams EU for inaction against 'US mercenaries' killing starving Palestinians
Former Vice President of the European Commission Josep Borrell has decried the killing of '550 starving Palestinians' by 'US mercenaries' at aid points operated by the US-Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). In a statement on X on Thursday, the Spanish minister slammed the EU for remaining 'unwilling to take any action against these crimes'. In May, Borell, who served as the EU's foreign policy chief from 2019 to 2024, made headlines for stating that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, describing the Israeli government's actions as 'the largest ethnic-cleansing operation since the end of the Second World War'. Borell's latest comments come amid growing international outrage over the controversial GHF aid distribution sites, which have been described as 'death traps' by officials from the UN and Save the Children, among others. Over 600 Palestinians have been killed while queuing at GHF sites as of May, according to UN data. On Wednesday, AP revealed that American contractors used live ammunition on Palestinians at GHF sites. This followed reports in Israeli media of Israeli troops admitting to deliberately shooting and killing aid seekers.

On Thursday, the Gaza government media office released a statement from the interior ministry 'warning against dealing or cooperating" with the GHF. Describing the distribution centres as 'mass death traps' and 'centers of humiliation', the ministry called on citizens to refrain from working with or cooperating with the foundation.

UN Secretary-General: 'The last lifelines are being cut of'
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the survival of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is at stake if fuel is not allowed into the strip. "I am appalled by the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza", he said in a post on X. "The last lifelines for survival are being cut off. Without an urgent influx of fuel, incubators will shut down, ambulances will be unable to reach the injured and sick, and water cannot be purified. "The UN has a clear and proven plan, rooted in the humanitarian principles, to get vital assistance to civilians – safely and at scale, wherever they are. I renew my call for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."
