Aid trucks start moving towards Gaza via Rafah crossing: Egypt's AlQahera News TV
The Israeli military said hours earlier that 'humanitarian corridors' would be established for safe movement of United Nations convoys delivering aid to Gazans and that "humanitarian pauses" would be implemented in densely populated areas.
On Saturday, Israel said that it air dropped aid into the Gaza Strip and would open humanitarian corridors.
The he Egyptian state-affiliated TV channel posted a video showing trucks moving towards the Palestinian enclave, saying that Egyptian aid was on its way to Gaza:

Humanitarian chiefs are deeply sceptical that air drops can deliver enough food to tackle the deepening hunger crisis facing Gaza's more than two million inhabitants. They are instead demanding that Israel allow more overland convoys.
But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer backed the idea, vowing to work with Jordan to restart air drops.
Starmer's office said that in a call with his French and German counterparts the "prime minister set out how the UK will also be taking forward plans to work with partners such as Jordan to airdrop aid and evacuate children requiring medical assistance".
The United Arab Emirates said it would resume air drops "immediately".

Israeli author David Grossman brands Gaza war a 'genocide'
Israeli writer David Grossman has proclaimed the assault on the Gaza Strip a "genocide", adding to a growing chorus of condemnation of the war. In an interview published on Friday in the Italian daily La Repubblica, Grossman said the bloodshed in Gaza broke his "heart". "For years I refused to use the term 'genocide'. But now I can't help but use it, after what I read in the newspapers, after the images I saw and after talking to people who were there," he said. "I want to speak as someone who has done everything possible to avoid calling Israel a genocidal state - and now, with immense pain and a broken heart, I have to face what is happening before my eyes. 'Genocide'. It's an avalanche word: once you say it, it only gets bigger, like an avalanche. And it brings even more destruction and suffering." Asked what he thought when he read the death toll in Gaza, he replied: "I feel bad." New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters At least 98 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours, with another 1,079 wounded, the Palestinian health ministry is reporting. Of that figure, 39 were aid seekers. The latest deaths bring the overall toll of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 2023 to 60,430, with 148,722 wounded. Hospitals in Gaza have also recorded seven deaths, including a child, as a result of Israeli-imposed starvation in the last 24 hours. Grossman said that the scenes of starvation and killing in Gaza had particular resonance for him. "Putting the words 'Israel' and 'famine' together, doing so based on our history, our supposed sensitivity to the suffering of humanity, the moral responsibility we have always said we have towards every human being, not just the Jews... all of this is devastating," he said. Grossman added that he remained "desperately loyal" to the idea of a two-state solution, "mainly because I see no alternative".

Iraqi parliament debates law restricting right to protest
Rights groups have expressed concern over new laws being debated in Iraq's parliament that will restrict the right to protest. Legislation has been introduced to the parliament that will introduce new restrictions including on insults to religious sects, a ban on nighttime protests and restrictions on gatherings on public roads, near hospitals, schools and government buildings. The new bill, being debated in parliament on Saturday, will also require prior approval from local authorities for protests at least five days in advance. Ten-year jail sentences could be handed down for those advocating war, terrorism or ethnic, racial or sectarian hatred, while those who desecrate or insult religious symbols or sites could face a minimum of one year in prison and a fine of one million dinars. Amnesty International and the INSM Foundation for Digital Rights criticised the legislation, noting that it comes in the wake of a wider crackdown on dissent, including the arrest of government critics. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters 'Lawmakers must vote against or propose amendments to any laws that would add to the arsenal of tools that the authorities are already using to restrict civic space or betray Iraq's constitutional and international commitments to protect freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly,' said Razaw Salihy, Amnesty International's Iraq researcher. "However, with no real transparency and no public debate on the current draft, civil society is left guessing what is being put before lawmakers to vote on. In light of Iraq's record on suppression of freedom of expression and assembly, the fear is that the new law will not bring much needed positive changes.' The parliament has claimed the new draft is in line with Iraq's constitutional and international obligations and 'does not restrict peaceful assembly'. At least 20 individuals were prosecuted between January and June this year over what Amnesty said was the peaceful exercise of their human right to free expression. Tensions heating up Iraq has seen regular demonstrations in recent years against entrenched corruption, regular power cuts and violence from state-linked armed groups. Tensions regularly run high in the summer as shortages of power and water make living unbearable in heats that often top 50 degrees. Hundreds of people protested last week near the cities of Hilla and Diwaniyah, south of Baghdad, blocking roads and burning tires, in protest at the shortages. Why Turkey abruptly cancelled an Iraqi oil pipeline agreement Read More » Iraq's water resources ministry has said that 2025 has been "one of the driest since 1933", and that water reserves are down to only eight percent of full capacity. The draft Law on Freedom of Expression and Peaceful Assembly's first readings took place on 3 December 2022 and on 9 May 2023. Following outcry from rights groups, the parliament announced on 31 July that passages referring to freedom of expression had been removed from the law, in the spirit of "not restricting protests". However, there has been little transparency with regards to the alterations made to the original draft and civil society representatives have protested their lack of involvement. William Warda, co-founder of the Hammurabi Human Rights Organization, told Middle East Eye he feared the new legislation did "not adhere to international human rights standards". "Without information, we cannot talk about freedom of expression," he said. He added that Iraq needed to instead strengthen mechanisms for accountability. "I believe that in democratic countries, the private sector should also be subject to the principle of transparency - such as political parties, companies and organisations - for the purpose of criticising anyone who will hold public office in the future or monitoring the work of companies or organisations in democratic countries," he explained.

Karim Khan investigation: Former ICC judges criticise handling of complaint against prosecutor
Former judges at the International Criminal Court have criticised the court's oversight body over its handling of an ongoing investigation into a complaint of alleged sexual misconduct brought against the court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan. Speaking to Middle East Eye, two former judges at the court said they were gravely concerned by the way in which Khan had been publicly identified as the subject of a complaint, and questioned the need for an external investigation into his alleged misconduct. Cuno Tarfusser, an Italian judge who worked at the court from 2009 to 2019, told MEE: "I am deeply disturbed, even scandalised, by the way the proceedings against Karim Khan seem to be unfolding." Another former judge, speaking on condition of anonymity, told MEE he feared that a lack of due process had taken the investigation into 'bandit country' in which 'anything can happen'. The investigation by the United Nations' Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) was commissioned by Paivi Kaukoranta, the President of the Assembly of State Parties, the ICC's oversight body, after details of a sexual misconduct complaint against Khan were leaked to the media in October. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Khan was publicly identified by Kaukoranta as the subject of a complaint, even though the ICC's own investigative body, the Internal Oversight Mechanism (IOM), had closed two investigations of its own, without publicly naming the chief prosecutor, after the complainant, a female ICC staff member, declined to cooperate. Announcing the OIOS inquiry the next month, Kaukoranta said the IOM had investigated the complaint against Khan on the basis of requests by a third party and by Khan himself, and acknowledged the IOM was 'competent to investigate such allegations'. Exclusive: How Karim Khan's Israel war crimes probe was derailed by threats, leaks and sex claims Read More » But she said that 'the particular circumstances of the case, including the IOM's victim-centred approach, and perceptions of possible and future conflicts of interest' had led her to seek an external investigation. Both judges told MEE they believed Khan had been denied due process and the right to privacy in being named by Kaukoranta and by her decision to outsource the investigation to the OIOS. The former judge said it was his view that Khan should not have been publicly identified before the investigation was completed, commenting: "It's a genie that you can't put back in the bottle." Tarfusser told MEE the investigation appeared to have been 'tailored' for Khan. 'It is unprecedented and a shame within an institution based on the rule of law that a personalised proceeding is created just for Karim Khan,' he said. 'This, far from being decisive, threatens to permanently damage the credibility of the court itself. This way of doing things, these procedures, are known to autocratic states, not to states or institutions based on legality and law.' The other former judge said he was concerned that the handling of the complaint would erode trust in the court's procedures. He said it could discourage future complainants from coming forward because of a lack of confidence that their complaint would be dealt with correctly. Cuno Tarfusser told MEE he was "scandalised" by how the investigation into Khan had unfolded (ICC/Flickr) 'It damages the whole structure of the complaints procedure,' he said. The complaint against Khan is based on allegations of sexual misconduct made by a female ICC staff member, but was initially reported to the IOM by a member of Khan's office rather than the complainant herself. Khan, who has been chief prosecutor at the ICC since 2021, has strenuously denied all of the allegations against him. He is understood to have been interviewed by OIOS investigators in early May and to have cooperated with the investigation. Khan was forced to step away on leave later in May following the publication of new allegations against him, including claims that he had sexually assaulted the complainant on a number of occasions over a period of almost a year. Khan's lawyers said in a statement at the time: "Our client has decided to take a period of leave, not least as the wildly inaccurate and speculative media focus on the matter is detracting from his ability properly to focus on his job. 'Our client remains the Prosecutor, has not stepped down and has no intention of doing so.' But new questions about the investigation into Khan were raised this week after MEE revealed details of a pressure campaign exerted on the prosecutor which sought to derail his investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories. MEE reported that an initial complaint of sexual harassment was made against Khan in May 2024 as he was in the final stages of preparing to apply to the court for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his then-defence minister, Yoav Gallant. The allegations re-emerged in October 2024, as the ICC was preparing to issue the warrants, when details of the initial complaint were circulated to journalists and on social media. It was these allegations which prompted the ASP to commission the OIOS investigation. Then, in May this year, reports that Khan was accused of sexual assault, as first reported by the Wall Street Journal, broke just as Khan was reported to be seeking further arrest warrants for Israeli officials. The complainant told MEE that her complaint had 'nothing whatsoever to do with the Court's investigation into Palestine', and said she is not affiliated with, or acting on behalf of, any state or external actor. She said any suggestion that her complaint was politically motivated is 'highly inappropriate… offensive and unfounded'. She said she continued to support all investigations under the ICC's jurisdiction. French newspaper Le Monde on Friday also published details of a campaign against Khan and others working at the court. It quoted British lawyer Andrew Cayley, who oversaw the ICC's Palestine investigation, as saying that he had been told by Dutch intelligence that he was at risk. He said in December he had been directly threatened: "I was told I was an enemy of Israel and that I should watch my back." Cayley quit the court earlier this year after being warned by the British foreign office that he was at risk of being targeted by US sanctions. The judge who spoke on condition of anonymity told MEE the investigation into the complaint against Khan needed to look into allegations of suspected interference in the work of the prosecutor's office. He noted that a lot of people had an interest in damaging the prosecutor and the court, and said judges working at the court had always had to deal with "a political undercurrent from one source or another". Both judges told MEE their concerns were shared by a number of other former and current ICC judges. The court has faced punitive and hostile measures over its investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes. Khan was subjected to US sanctions in February, and the US sanctioned four current ICC judges in June. Speaking last month at a meeting of the ASP, the US State Department legal advisor, Reed Rubinstein, warned the court's oversight body that 'all options are on the table' if the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant are not withdrawn. It remains unclear when the investigation into Khan will be completed and what will happen next. In June, the ASP Presidency announced that the OIOS's final report would be sent for assessment to an external panel of judicial experts to help consideration of 'appropriate next steps'. It said the work of the panel would be conducted on a confidential basis. Asked for comment, the office of the ASP Presidency referred MEE to its public statements about the allegations against Khan and the OIOS investigation. It said the findings of the investigation would be 'handled in a transparent manner' once it was concluded.
