Israel accused of exterminating Palestinians 'under the fog of war' at ICJ hearings
Egypt's assistant foreign minister Hatem Kamaleldin Abdelkader said Israel had conducted a 'brutal siege' on civilians, saying it was 'the most recent chapter in Israel's systematic weaponisation of humanitarian assistance'.
'There is no doubt that these practices are part of a widespread, systematic and comprehensive state policy to depopulate the Occupied Palestinian Territory and effect its de-facto annexation,' he said.
Abdelkader added that Israel had transferred Palestinians without a legitimate reason to areas that were not any more safe in than the areas they has been forced to feel 'intentionally creating conditions intended to make Gaza uninhabitable'.
Jasmine Moussa, a legal adviser to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, said Israel's military campaign had 'a far more insidious end": the extermination of Palestinians 'under the fog of war'.

Negotiations with Israel pointless while Gaza faces famine and genocide, says Hamas
Hamas's top official in Gaza said on Sunday there is no longer any justification to continue negotiations with Israel while the genocide against Gaza continues and civilians are deprived of basic needs, accusing Israel of withdrawing from talks to stall and intensify the war. Khalil al-Hayya, deputy head of Hamas's political bureau in Gaza, delivered the remarks in a video statement days after Israel pulled its negotiating team out of Doha for what it called 'further consultations', despite Hamas issuing what it described as a constructive response to the latest ceasefire framework. 'There is no point in continuing negotiations under the siege, genocide, and starvation of our children and women in the Gaza Strip,' al Hayya said. He added that 'the immediate and dignified entry of food and medicine to our people is a serious expression of the feasibility of continuing the negotiations.' Al Hayya said Hamas had shown 'all possible flexibility that did not conflict with the principles of our people' throughout the indirect talks. He said that 'clear progress' had been made during the last round of negotiations and that Hamas had accepted key elements proposed by mediators.

But he expressed shock at Israel's sudden departure from the talks, 'we were surprised by the occupation's withdrawal from the negotiations and its alignment with US envoy Steve Witkoff,' he added. 'The occupation's withdrawal from the negotiations round is a transparent step aimed at wasting time and causing more genocide,' al-Hayya added. Over 100,000 children in Gaza at risk of death due to Israeli blockade Read More » He said Hamas had responded to the mediators at every stage and reiterated that the Palestinian resistance had 'used all its tools and relationships over the course of 22 months to stop the aggression against the people of Gaza.' His remarks come amid growing international outrage over the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza, where aid agencies say famine-like conditions have taken hold in several areas. More than 100 humanitarian organisations warned on Wednesday that "mass famine" has been spreading across the Gaza Strip since Israel blocked humanitarian aid from entering in early March and began providing inadequate aid through the controversial GHF at the end of May. The Israeli and US-backed initiative has allowed an insufficient amount of relief supplies, while carrying out attacks against civilians seeking aid at the GHF sites. At least 127 Palestinians, including more than 85 children, have died of starvation since Israel's blockade resumed in March, according to the Palestinian health ministry. More than 1,121 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid at distribution sites operated by the GHF, manned by Israeli soldiers and US security contractors.

US envoy blames UN, media and Hamas for Gaza chaos and failed truce
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has accused the United Nations, The New York Times, and Hamas of spreading 'lies and propaganda' to undermine aid operations and destabilise Gaza. Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel and an evangelical preacher, made the remarks in response to footage showing desperate Palestinians climbing onto an aid truck. 'Is the UN, NY Times, and Hamas all happy now?' he asked in a social media post. 'I'm sure Hamas is. Their lies and propaganda destroyed the ceasefire deal, tried to discredit safe and functioning GHF effort, emboldened Hamas and will result in this complete balagan [chaos]! Most sad for hostage families—grief prolonged.' His comments come as international experts continue to blame Israel's near-total blockade of food and supplies for the collapse of civil order and widespread hunger in Gaza.

Saudi forces arrest pilgrim for raising Palestinian flag in Mecca
Saudi security forces arrested an Egyptian pilgrim at the Grand Mosque in Mecca after he raised the Palestinian flag beside the Kaaba and called for an end to Gaza's siege and starvation. The actions by the Saudi authorities has triggered widespread condemnation. Footage shared online shows the man crying out 'Wa Islamah!', a phrase used historically to express anguish when Islam or Muslims are under threat, as he pleads for urgent intervention to help Gaza's starving population. The emotional scene, captured and circulated on social media, shows the pilgrim saying 'the children of Gaza are dying. O Muslims!'. Seconds later, Saudi officers appear and detain him inside the mosque. The incident has reignited debate over Saudi Arabia's strict bans on political expression at Islam's holiest sites. Authorities prohibit all slogans and symbols, including national flags, during Hajj and Umrah, arguing such measures protect the sanctity of worship. However, critics accuse the kingdom of using these restrictions to stifle support for Palestine and suppress expressions of Muslim solidarity. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters In 2023, a British pilgrim was detained for wearing a white keffiyeh and a Palestinian-coloured prayer bead. Beyond Mecca, Saudi authorities have reportedly launched a broader crackdown on citizens who criticise Israel or voice solidarity with Gaza online. Since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman rose to power in 2017, rights groups have documented a surge in arrests linked to peaceful speech, particularly posts viewed as critical of the kingdom's foreign policy or regional alliances. As Israel's war on Gaza continues, the arrest in Mecca has deepened concerns that public support for Palestine is being criminalised in Saudi Arabia.
