Oman urges global action for Palestinian rights
Oman emphasized the importance of the detailed report, which focuses on the legal and humanitarian dimensions, particularly the role of certain economic entities in practices that entrench Israeli occupation and exacerbate its impact on the Palestinian people.
In a speech delivered by Idris Abdulrahman Al Khanjari, Oman's Permanent Representative to the United Nations and other international organisations in Geneva, Oman noted that some companies provide services, infrastructure, or technologies used in illegal settlement projects. This raises concerns under international law, particularly the Geneva Conventions and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Oman stressed that addressing this situation requires effective commitment from states and relevant entities to ensure private sector compliance with international law. It also called for enhanced regulatory frameworks and monitoring tools to curb such violations, along with strengthened legal accountability mechanisms - including for parties directly or indirectly contributing to systematic abuses - to uphold international law and prevent impunity.
Furthermore, Oman reaffirmed its steadfast position in supporting international efforts to end the occupation and enable the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, foremost among them the right to self-determination, based on international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution to promote regional security and stability. - ONA

Israel kills starving Gazans gathering to collect food
In Gaza, a humanitarian disaster is unfolding. Under a tight Israeli siege, thousands of Palestinians are starving and facing deadly violence when they try to collect food. Civilians are being killed not in combat but while lining up for flour, water, or aid. These scenes are tragic, shocking and plague a population stripped of basic survival — yet the global response remains slow and inadequate. One of the deadliest incidents occurred on February 29, 2024, now known as the 'Flour Massacre.' On that day, Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd in Gaza City waiting for flour from an aid convoy. According to Al Jazeera, citing UN experts, at least 112 people were killed and hundreds more injured. The UN and rights groups described it as a massacre — a stark warning of the lethal risks for any Gazan attempting to gather food. Sadly, similar attacks continued. On June 17, 2025, Israeli tanks fired on civilians near food trucks in Khan Yunis, killing at least 59 and injuring more than 200, according to Reuters. Just a week later, the UN confirmed that over 400 Palestinians had been killed recently while trying to reach aid distribution centres. Then, on June 30, Israeli air strikes claimed 95 more lives — including 39 people at a seaside café. These were not military locations, but public places where desperate civilians sought sustenance. Such incidents raise grave concerns about the deliberate targeting of vulnerable populations and may amount to war crimes under humanitarian law. These attacks have not been limited to Israeli forces alone. According to AP News, American private contractors guarding aid sites in Gaza have fired live bullets at Palestinians trying to collect food. This involvement by foreign actors intensifies the crisis and prompts urgent questions about international responsibility. International reaction and legal scrutiny have been growing — though yet to change the situation on the ground. UN Secretary‑General António Guterres has repeatedly expressed deep alarm, calling the hunger crisis one of the worst humanitarian disasters in decades. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk described the killings of aid‑seekers as 'unconscionable' and UN agencies warned that using starvation as a weapon of war is strictly prohibited. Human rights organisations have produced damning reports. Human Rights Watch documented at least eight strikes on aid convoys or facilities — despite coordination efforts to prevent such attacks. Amnesty International accused Israel of deliberately inflicting starvation on a civilian population — calling it a crime of genocide. Their findings state that Israeli authorities had full awareness of the harm caused yet persisted regardless. In a rare move towards accountability, legal action has been initiated. On May 20, 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor requested arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. The charges include war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the starvation campaign in Gaza. While this represents a major step in international justice, the violence has continued unabated. A Palestinian carries a sack of food items in Khan Younis. — Reuters Despite mounting evidence and global condemnation, major governments have largely failed to take meaningful action. The United States continues to provide military support and political cover to Israel. Critics warn this enables continued aggression and undermines international law. The muted response from many nations suggests that some lives — especially Palestinian lives — are treated as less valuable on the world stage. On the ground, the situation is dire. Gaza's healthcare system is on the verge of collapse due to shortages of medicine, clean water and electricity. Hospitals are overwhelmed with wounded civilians, many of whom were shot at aid queues. Children and elderly people are most at risk, suffering from malnutrition, dehydration and fear. The world must act now — decisively and collectively. A full and immediate ceasefire is needed to halt the bloodshed. Humanitarian aid must be granted safe and unrestricted access. Donor nations should insist on protection for civilians and accountability for violations. And individuals and organisations responsible for war crimes — including those using starvation as a weapon — must face justice, regardless of rank or nationality. If the world does not stand up today, the tragedies in Gaza will not only stain the current generation but also set a precedent that civilian suffering is acceptable in future conflicts. For Gaza's starving and bereaved families, indifference is not only cruel — it is complicity.

Israel strikes displacement shelter, say Gaza rescuers
GAZA: Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli forces killed at least 25 people on Thursday, including 12 in a strike on a school sheltering Palestinians displaced by the war nearing its 22nd month. Israel has recently expanded its military operations in the Gaza Strip, where its war on Hamas militants has created dire humanitarian conditions and displaced nearly all of the territory's population of more than two million. Many have sought shelter in school buildings, but these have repeatedly come under Israeli attacks that the military often says target Hamas militants hiding among civilians. In Gaza City on Thursday, civil defence official Mohammad al Mughayyir said that 12 people, "the majority of them children and women", were killed and several others wounded in an Israeli air strike on a school-turned-shelter, which the Israeli military did not confirm. Pressure has risen for a ceasefire to allow sorely needed humanitarian aid into Gaza at scale and permit the release of hostages seized by Palestinian militants during Hamas's October 2023 attack that sparked the war. US President Donald Trump earlier this week declared a new ceasefire push, aiming for an initial 60-day truce, which he said had Israel's backing. But Israel's leaders held firm to their objective of crushing Hamas, even as the group said on Tuesday it was discussing new proposals for a ceasefire from mediators. At the Gaza City school compound hit on Thursday, footage showed young children wandering through the charred, bombed out building, as piles of burnt debris smouldered. Groups of Palestinians picked through the rubble and damaged furniture that littered the floor. Umm Yassin Abu Awda, who was among mourners who gathered at the city's Al Shifa hospital after the strike, said: "This isn't a life. We've suffered enough." "For two years, we've been fighting just to get a piece of bread," she said. "Either you (Israel) strike us with a nuclear bomb and end it all, or people's conscience needs to finally wake up." The Israeli military said it was looking into the reported strike as well as another incident, in central Gaza, where according to Mughayyir Israeli gunfire killed people seeking humanitarian aid. The civil defence official said the gunfire killed six people and resulted in "a large number of injuries" among a group of Palestinians near an aid distribution site. It was the latest in a string of deadly incidents that have hit people trying to receive scarce supplies. Across Gaza on Thursday, Mughayyir said artillery shelling in the northern town of Beit Lahia killed three people. A strike on Jabalia, also in the north, killed one. Further south, three people were killed in a strike that hit tents housing displaced people in the coastal Al Mawasi area, Mughayyir said. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean media is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence agency. Despite mounting calls at home and globally for a ceasefire, Israel's hardline National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called on Wednesday to push the offensive harder. "Let's finish the job in Gaza. We must bring down Hamas, occupy the Gaza Strip, encourage the transfer" of Palestinians out of the territory, Ben Gvir said in a television interview. To the minister, Israel was now "in a position to achieve" victory over Hamas, which he said would help free the remaining hostages still held in Gaza. "We must bring them back, but the way to bring them back is to bring down Hamas," he said. Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that prompted the Israeli offensive resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, based on Israeli official figures. Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 57,012 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the Palestinian territory's health ministry. — AFP

HAMAS SEEKS CEASEFIRE AS GAZA TOLL
Hamas is seeking guarantees that a new US ceasefire proposal for Gaza would lead to the war's end, a source close to the group said on Thursday, as medics said Israeli strikes across the territory had killed scores more people. Israeli officials said prospects for reaching a ceasefire deal and hostage deal appeared high, nearly 21 months since the war between Israel and Hamas began. Efforts for a Gaza truce have gathered steam after the US secured a ceasefire to end a 12-day aerial conflict between Israel and Iran, but on the ground in Gaza intensified Israeli strikes continued unabated, killing at least 59 people on Thursday, according to health authorities in the territory. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said that Israel had accepted the conditions needed to finalise a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas, during which the parties will work to end the war. Hamas is seeking clear guarantees that the ceasefire will eventually lead to the war's end, the source close to the group said. Two Israeli officials said those details were still being worked out. Ending the war has been the main sticking point in repeated rounds of failed negotiations. Egyptian security sources said Egyptian and Qatari mediators were working to secure US and international guarantees that talks on ending the war would continue as a way of convincing Hamas to accept the two-month truce proposal. A separate source familiar with the matter said that Israel was expecting Hamas' response by Friday and that if it was positive, an Israeli delegation would join indirect talks to cement the deal. The proposal includes the staggered release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the return of the bodies of 18 more in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, sources say. Of the 50 remaining hostages in Gaza, 20 are believed to still be alive. A senior Israeli official close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said preparations were in place to approve a ceasefire deal even as the premier heads to Washington to meet Trump on Monday. In Gaza, however, there was little sign of relief. According to medics at Nasser hospital, at least 20 people were killed by Israeli fire en route to an aid distribution site. Further north, at least 17 people were killed in an Israeli strike at a school in Gaza City, according to medics. The Israeli military said it targeted a key Hamas gunman operating there and that it took precautions to reduce risk to civilians. "Suddenly, we found the tent collapsing over us and a fire burning. We don't know what happened," one witness, Wafaa Al Arqan, who was among the people sheltering there, said. "What can we do? Is it fair that all these children burned?" The war began when Hamas fighters stormed into Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages back to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies. Israel's subsequent military assault has killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry, while displacing most of the population of more than 2 million, triggering widespread hunger and leaving much of the territory in ruins. Israel says it won't end the war while Hamas is still armed and ruling Gaza. Hamas, severely weakened, says it won't lay down its weapons but is willing to release all the hostages still in Gaza if Israel ends the war. - Reuters
