'Chivalrous Knight 3' launch biggest water supply project to Gaza
At a press conference held at the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU) headquarters in Deir al Balah, the operation revealed that a new 315mm water transmission line, stretching 6.7 kilometres, is now under construction. The pipeline will connect the UAE-established desalination plant on the Egyptian side to a displacement area between Khan Younis and Rafah governorates. The project is expected to provide 15 litres of desalinated water per person daily, benefiting around 600,000 residents in southern Gaza, where more than 80% of water infrastructure has been destroyed due to the dire ongoing developments in Gaza Strip. Sharif Al-Nayrab, media director for Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 in Gaza, stated, 'This new water pipeline is more than a rapid response to the urgent thirst crisis in Gaza; it is a continuation of the UAE's unwavering commitment to supporting the Palestinian people, particularly in the face of the humanitarian disaster caused by war.' He added that the UAE has consistently led relief efforts in Gaza, from building desalination stations and delivering water tankers to drilling wells and maintaining water networks, culminating in this vital initiative aimed at securing safe drinking water for the most affected areas. Omar Shatat, Deputy Director-General of the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility for Technical Affairs, expressed gratitude to the UAE, which has been on the frontlines of humanitarian support since the onset of the war. He noted that UAE-funded projects have helped municipalities and civil society institutions maintain essential services amid extremely challenging conditions. Khalil Abu Shammala, a representative of civil society in Gaza, praised the UAE's crucial role and the humanitarian projects implemented under the Operation Chivalrous Knight 3. He also emphasised that initiatives like this provide residents with access to safe and healthy water, strengthening their resilience in the face of persistent crises. This initiative marks a new chapter in Operation Chivalrous Knight 3's efforts to repair critical infrastructure in Gaza, particularly in the water sector, and is part of broader UAE-led humanitarian operations to mitigate the disaster and support the steadfastness of the local population.

Netanyahu left in precarious position as two ultra-Orthodox parties withdraw from his coalition
A second ultra-Orthodox group has withdrawn from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling coalition this week, leaving him holding on to power with the minimum number of seats required, multiple news outlets reported on Tuesday. The Agudat Yisrael faction withdrew on Tuesday, leaving Netanyahu's coalition with 61 seats in the Knesset out of a total of 120 seats, while the Degel HaTorah faction withdrew on Monday. Both groups withdrew in protest against a bill not being drafted to exempt ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service. The Shas party - also an ultra-Orthodox party - is threatening to withdraw on Thursday. If this happens, it would lead to the collapse of the Netanyahu government and trigger elections.

Rescheduled UN conference will discuss Palestine recognition, says France
A rescheduled UN conference this month will discuss post-war plans for Gaza and preparations for the recognition of a Palestinian state by France and others, the French foreign minister said on Tuesday. France and Saudi Arabia had initially planned to host the conference in New York between 17 and 20 June. "The aim is to sketch out post-war Gaza and prepare the recognition of a Palestinian state by France and countries that will engage in this approach," Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said in Brussels before a meeting of EU foreign ministers. The conference was postponed under US pressure and after the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, during which regional airspace was closed, making it hard for some Arab representatives to attend. The summit has been rescheduled for 28 and 29 July, diplomats told Reuters. French President Emmanuel Macron was set to attend the original conference and had suggested he could recognise a Palestinian state. However, Macron is no longer expected to attend, reducing the likelihood of any major announcements being made. - Reporting by Reuters
