Video of US contractors cheering after firing at Gaza civilians ignites fury online
A new Associated Press (AP) report detailing how American contractors guarding aid distribution sites used live ammunition, stun grenades and pepper spray against starving Palestinians seeking food has sparked fierce criticism online. Published on 2 July, the article is based on testimonies from two American contractors, videos, internal messages and forensic audio analysis. Both whistleblowers said they came forward due to what they described as 'dangerous and irresponsible practices' at sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the controversial US- and Israel-backed organisation operating in the besieged enclave. Online reaction to the report was swift, with hundreds of people slamming the private military contractors and the distribution hubs. 'US mercenary criminal-thugs… GHF and the gang are killing machines in 'humanitarian' clothing', wrote one X user. Another X user called the operation a 'sham' masking a 'ruthless agenda'. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters A few people quoted the news agency's description of the audio from one video: 'At that moment, bursts of gunfire erupt close by, at least 15 shots. 'Whoo! Whoo!' one contractor yelps. 'I think you hit one', one says. Then comes a shout: 'Hell, yeah, boy!' While the clip does not show who was shooting, or where the shots were aimed, the contractor speaking to AP said their colleague was shooting in the direction of Palestinians at the aid point, and that they saw a man in that direction drop to the ground. At that moment, bursts of gunfire erupt close by, at least 15 shots. 'Whoo! Whoo!' one contractor yelps. 'I think you hit one,' one says. Then comes a shout: 'Hell, yeah, boy!' — Adil Haque (@AdHaque110) July 2, 2025 While some users praised the news agency for the report, others expressed frustration with its timing, which they same came too late. 'Yeah thanks AP, five weeks later and 600 people dead later #breakingnews', one user posted. Another said: 'Palestinians have been telling you this is happening for weeks... Maybe you should start believing the victims of genocide over the ones committing it.' 'When are you going to do something?' Middle East Eye has reported on Israeli forces targeting Palestinian aid seekers since the GHF began operations in late May. At least 600 Palestinians have been killed so far, and thousands more injured. Eyewitnesses have described the incidents as 'ambushes' carried out by the Israeli military. Israeli troops have admitted to deliberately firing on unarmed Palestinians at the food distribution points, following direct orders from their superiors, according to a Haaretz report published last week. A GHF subcontractor speaking to the AP denied that serious injuries had occurred at any of the aid sites.

'Hell yeah boy' — Bruno Maçães (@MacaesBruno) July 2, 2025 But many on social media dismissed official denials by the GHF and its partners, instead pointing to accounts from Palestinians. A video and photograph in the AP report shows at least one woman reportedly hit in the head with a stun grenade and another man in visible distress after being tear-gassed. Social media users also raised alarm over the reported lack of oversight and qualifications among armed contractors operating at the aid sites. 'Last minute and unqualified contractors, untested weapons, little to no supervision, no rule of engagement,' lamented one user. 'This is what you do when you have no value of lives you are engaging with.' Others called on politicians to take action. Are we really at the point where American contractors can open fire on starving people—and we just shrug? No condemnation. No investigation. Where's Congress? To the world, we're just another mercenary force now. Don't kid yourself—there was another way. — Adam N Weinstein (@AdamNoahWho) July 3, 2025 One user urged the leaders of the UK, Canada and France to respond to 'war crimes' by Israel, saying in 'the last last 20 months we've been absolutely inundated with many examples of them'. 'When are you going to act like leaders in the UN and do something?' they asked. Others called for the GHF to be shut down. 'GHF no longer has ANY credibility. It has denied firing on civilians time and time again but it has been show to be true. GHF have repeatedly lied,' posted one user on X. 'They need to be shut down and proper aid practices put back in place.'

US, India push for trade pact after Trump strikes deal with Vietnam
US and India trade negotiators are pushing to try to land a tariff-reducing deal ahead of President Donald Trump's July 9 negotiating deadline, but disagreements over US dairy and agriculture remained unresolved, sources familiar with the talks said. The push comes as Trump announced an agreement with Vietnam that cuts US tariffs on many Vietnamese goods to 20 per cent from his previously threatened 46 per cent. Trump said that US products could enter Vietnam duty free, but details were scant. Trump threatened a 26 per cent duty on Indian goods as part of his April 2 "Liberation Day" reciprocal tariffs, which were temporarily lowered to 10 per cent to buy time for negotiations. Sources in India's commerce ministry said that a trade delegation from India was still in Washington a week after arriving for talks that started last Thursday and Friday. They may stay longer to conclude a deal, but without compromising on key agricultural and dairy issues, the sources said, adding that it was unacceptable to lower tariffs on genetically modified corn, soybeans, rice and wheat grown in the US. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government "doesn't want to be seen as surrendering the interests of farmers - a strong political group in the country," one of the sources said. However, India is open to lowering tariffs on walnuts, cranberries and other fruits, along with medical devices, autos and energy products, the source said. A US source familiar with the talks said that there were "indications that they are close" and negotiators have been told to prepare for a potential announcement. The source added that "there's been intense and constructive effort to close a deal. I think both sides understand the strategic importance, beyond the economic importance, of closing a deal". Trump echoed those sentiments on Tuesday, telling reporters on Air Force One that he could reach a deal with India that would cut tariffs for both countries and help American companies compete in India's market of 1.4 billion consumers. At the same time, Trump cast doubt on a potential deal with Japan, saying he may impose a tariff of 30 per cent or 35 per cent on Japanese goods, well above the 24 per cent duty rate he announced on April 2. Japan is seeking to lower separate 25 per cent automotive and steel tariffs that Trump imposed.

Former White House chef reveals US presidents' favourite comfort foods
Cristeta Comerford, a longtime White House executive chef who recently retired after nearly three decades of preparing meals for five presidents and their guests, says first families are 'just regular people' when they're at home in the private living areas of the executive mansion. 'It's not what you see on the news,' she told The Associated Press in an interview. Preparing the first families' meals was among Comerford's many culinary responsibilities. Meals mostly would be prepared in the main kitchen, then finished off in the residence kitchen on the second floor. 'At the end of the day, when you do the family meals upstairs, they're just regular people at home. They just want a good meal. They want to sit down with their family,' she said. 'If they have children, they eat together. And just to see that on a daily basis, it's not what you see on the news. 'It's the other side of them that we get to see,' she said. Comerford, who hung up her apron and chef's toque in July 2024 after nearly 20 years as top chef and nearly three decades on the kitchen staff, is the longest-serving chef in White House history. Her tenure spanned the presidencies of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Each of the five families she served approached food differently, Comerford said at a recent White House Historical Association symposium on food and drinks. She was asked whether she'd describe any of the presidents as 'real foodies.' Tables are decorated during a press preview at the White House in Washington, on April 9, 2024, for the State Dinner for Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. File/Associated Press The Clintons liked healthier meals, Comerford said. Then-first lady Hillary Clinton hired the first American executive chef, Walter Scheib, and had the kitchen avoid serving heavy sauces and creams. She said, 'I learned so much' about Southwestern cuisine from Bush, the former Texas governor who liked Tex-Mex food. 'We made thousands of tamales for Christmas,' she said of the popular Mexican meal of stuffed corn dough wrapped in a corn husk and steamed until cooked. Comerford got ideas from the vegetable garden Michelle Obama started when she was promoting healthy eating, primarily for children. 'We used the garden as kind of like our backbone for our menu development,' she said. Trump and first lady Melania Trump are 'very, very classic eaters,' she said. Mrs. Trump 'loved Italian food, so we tend to do the pastas, but light ones.' Comerford didn't comment on President Trump's food choices, but he is known to like a well-done steak served with ketchup and fast food. Jill Biden was the first Italian American first lady, and the kitchen did 'a lot of Italian food, as well, because she loved Italian food.' Overall, 'it's different for each family,' said Comerford, 'but my job as the chef is to execute their style, their likes and their preferences.' A black-tie state dinner is the highest diplomatic honour the US reserves for its close allies. Comerford presided over 54 of these opulent affairs, including for France and Australia during Trump's first term. Sometimes, guest chefs were brought in to help. State dinners give presidents the opportunity to bring together hundreds of guests from the worlds of government, politics and other industries for an evening in which the three-course meal, decor and entertainment are designed to help foster relations by dazzling the visiting foreign leader. The first lady's staff and the social secretary typically have about two months to pull one together. Comerford said her team started by researching the visiting leader's likes and dislikes, then she used the information to create a menu using the best of American food while incorporating nuances from the country being recognized. She'd develop at least three different menus. Then came tastings for the first lady to make a final decision. Comerford, 62, started her career tending a salad bar at a Chicago airport hotel before working as a chef at restaurants in Austria and Washington. Scheib, then the White House executive chef, hired her in 1994 for a temporary gig preparing a state dinner for Nelson Mandela, South Africa's newly elected president. Cristeta Comerford shows the main course during a preview in the State Dining Room of White House in Washington, on Sept. 24, 2015, for the state dinner of the visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping. File/Associated Press Scheib then hired her as an assistant chef in 1995, and she succeeded him a decade later, becoming the first woman and first person of color to permanently hold the executive chef's position. Comerford is a naturalized US citizen who was born in the Philippines. Her husband, John Comerford, is a chef, too, and she credits him with sacrificing his career to be present for their daughter so she could thrive in hers. Their daughter is a pastry chef. When Comerford retired, assistant chef Tommy Kurpradit, whose parents are from Thailand, was named interim executive chef. Melania Trump, who worked with Comerford in the first Trump administration, has not named a successor. Comerford said she managed everything with 'a lot of prayers,' often said during her hourlong, early morning drive into the White House, but also by being versatile, humble, able to handle chaos and having faith in herself and her team. 'One thing with cooking at the White House, you don't just do fine dining meals,' she said. 'You have to know how to cook eggs and breakfast. You have to know to cook a smashburger.' It also helps to remember that the job is about the family. 'There's no ego in it,' Comerford said. White House culinary history includes chefs from China, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Thailand, as far back as the 19th century, according to Adrian Miller and Deborah Chang, co-authors of a new book, 'Cooking to the President's Taste: Asian Heritage Chefs in White House History.' Most sharpened their skills through service in the US military. Before Comerford, Pedro Udo, a Filipino trained in the US military, was the first Asian heritage chef to run the White House kitchen after he was promoted from meat chef to head chef in June 1957, according to the book. He prepared meals for Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip later that year, and for Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in September 1959 during the Cold War. But his stint ended after less than four years when the new first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy, hired acclaimed French chef René Verdon in early 1961. Miller said the book offers a 'unique window' on the presidency. 'We get a look at the presidents, but also the presidents got a look at Asian American life in maybe ways that they hadn't before,' he told the AP in an interview. 'And I think, you know, for the presidents that decided to open that window and find out more about the people who were providing, comforting them through amazing food, I think our nation is better for them.'
