Trump Calls Situation in Gaza ‘Tragic' Amid US Support for Genocide
The American president made his remarks during a visit to Scotland, where he is meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
'I told Israel, I told Bibi [Benjamin Netanyahu] that you're going to now maybe have to do it a different way… It's a tragic situation, frankly,' he said.
In response to the starvation war launched by the IOF against civilians in Gaza, Trump stressed that people in the region need food and safety 'right now.'
According to the Palestinian news agency, at least 10 more people have died from hunger in the past 24 hours. Over the last three days alone, more than 25 children have also succumbed, bringing the forced starvation death toll to at least 143 people.
The news agency said an estimated 900,000 children are suffering from hunger. About 70,000 of them have entered critical stages of malnutrition.
In addition to famine, the IOF continues to claim people's lives. Since early morning hours, the IOF has killed at least 41 Palestinians. The number includes nine aid seekers.
The death toll of the Israeli genocidal war has reached at least 59,821 since October 2023. Many victims' bodies remain trapped under the rubble, and over 141,851 are injured due to merciless Israeli assaults across Gaza. Tags: Aid looting GazaDonald Trump

The UK recognized Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara as early as 1721
On June 1, diplomatic relations between London and Rabat reached a major milestone when the United Kingdom endorsed Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara, describing it as the «most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis for a lasting settlement» of the territorial dispute. With this move, the UK became the third permanent member of the UN Security Council to support the North African kingdom's 2007 proposal, after the United States and France, which went a step further by recognizing Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara. But Britain had also recognized Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces centuries ago. This is what a letter sent and published in The Guardian earlier this week highlighted. In fact, in 1721, the two nations signed a peace treaty that «laid the groundwork for renewed bilateral relations», between the two nations, wrote the British Embassy in Morocco in 2021, marking the 300th anniversary of the treaty. Signed in Fez on January 23, 1721, during the 7th year of King George I's reign, the treaty «allowed the movement of people and goods between two nations of different cultures and protected the rights and property of their citizens», noted the British Embassy in Morocco. An explicit recognition Comprising 15 articles, the treaty holds particular historical significance concerning the Sahara. In its address to Sultan Moulay Ismail, who ruled Morocco at the time, Great Britain explicitly acknowledged his sovereignty over the region. Just as King George I was introduced as the ruler of «Great Britain, France, and Ireland», Moulay Ismail was formally referred to as «King of Fez, Mequinez, Morocco, and all the West of Africa». This early agreement paved the way for subsequent treaties, including the Anglo-Moroccan Treaty of 1856, signed in Tangier. That accord granted diplomatic privileges to British consuls and opened Moroccan trade by fixing customs tariffs at 10%. Another key treaty reaffirming British recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara was the Anglo-Moroccan Agreement of March 13, 1895. It concerned Morocco's purchase of the property of the North West Africa Company (Cape Juby), a trading post founded by Donald MacKenzie in 1874 to conduct caravan trade between the Noun River and Timbuktu. In that 1895 agreement, Great Britain explicitly stated that «the lands between Wad Draa and Cape Bojador belong to Morocco». Through this statement, Great Britain recognizes that Moroccan territory extends to Cabo Bojador, including Sakiet El Hamra. Article 1 of teh agreement further emphasized: «No one shall claim the lands between Wad Draa and Cape Bojador, known as TarfayaNot to be confused with the city of Tarfaya) and all its hinterland, as they are part of the territory of Morocco». «Such Lands not to be given to any other Power», stressed the agreement. Despite this recognition, Great Britain's stance toward Morocco shifted following the 1904 secret treaty with France, which exchanged influence in Egypt for French control in Morocco. Although Morocco was still a sovereign state, Britain undermined its earlier recognition by colluding with France to allocate a «sphere of influence» to Spain in southern Morocco.

Benjamin Netanyahu Plans Full Occupation of Gaza, Deepening Genocide
Rabat – On Tuesday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with his war cabinet to approve new 'military operations' across the entire Gaza Strip. This comes as Israeli media news reports have claimed that the Prime Minister has decided to fully occupy the enclave. 'The decision has been made', said Amit Sega, the Chief political correspondent with Channel 24, after discussions with unnamed high-ranking members of Netanyahu's office. The source continued, 'Hamas won't release more hostages without total surrender, and we won't surrender. If we don't act now, the hostages will starve to death and Gaza will remain under Hamas control.' During a speech in Jerusalem on Monday, Netanyahu doubled down on his primary goals for the devastating war on Gaza, including the elimination of Hamas. 'We must continue to stand together and fight together to achieve all our war objectives, the death of the enemy, the release of the hostages, and the assurance that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel,' he said. The expected decision to move forward with a full occupation is a dark moment and a troubling escalation of the Genocide. Hamas and Palestinian officials have rejected this plan and condemned the actions of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the reported plans and called on the International Community to 'intervene urgently to prevent their implementation, whether through a form of pressure, trial balloons to gauge international reaction.' There has been consistently growing international pressure on Israel in recent weeks, particularly after the United Nations reported that thousands could die of starvation and malnutrition. Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan on Monday accused the US and other Western Nations of turning a blind eye to Israeli atrocities, as many nations continue to support the actions of the Netanyahu government. This war cabinet is going to be a pivotal moment in the Israeli war of aggression against Palestine and the mass murder of the Palestinian people. Tags: GazaIsraelNetanyahuwar

Starvation Death Toll Rises in Gaza as Israel Continues Blockade
Rabat — The inhumane situation in the genocide-torn Gaza is deteriorating as starvation death toll continues to surge. Gaza's Ministry of Health reported the deaths of 8 civilians in the past 24 hours due to malnutrition and famine-related issues, bringing the number to over 188, including 94 children. Due to the Israeli Occupation Forces' (IOF) blockade on crossing borders since March 2, shortages of food and medical supplies have led to a widespread and staggering starvation catastrophe in Gaza. The IOF adopts an atrocious approach, blocking the entry of food and humanitarian aid to Gaza. Gazans are left with two options: stay and succumb to death or move to distribution points and risk being bombarded. Israel has repeatedly killed Palestinians while seeking food or aid at distribution points, fueling international outcry. Meanwhile, the IOF have intensified their attacks on Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly preparing to move from partial to full occupation of the strip. His war cabinet is considering expanding 'military actions' into central Gaza, including areas where hostages may be held. Meanwhile, former senior Israeli officials — including ex‑Prime Minister Ehud Barak — are urging a halt to attacks, warning that the campaign lacks strategic clarity and may prolong the war unnecessarily. Israel's genocidal and starvation war against innocents in Gaza, and its stubbornness to respond to international calls to halt atrocities in the enclave, are leading to its growing isolation within the international scene. The recent country to join an international chorus condemning Israeli-induced famine in Gaza was Germany. The country's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said that Germany has been following the situation and that 'Israel's de facto blockade of the Gaza Strip is causing famine, leading to people dying, suffering, and being left without water.' Another voice is that of the Irish President Michael Higgins. He urged the UN chief to implement Chapter Seven of the UN Charter and invoke powers against Israel over its ongoing genocidal assaults and weaponizing of starvation in Gaza. Given the situation in Gaza, major international powers have decided to recognize the statehood of Palestine during the high-level week of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, including France, the UK, and Canada.
