UK says ready to airdrop aid, evacuate injured children from Gaza
The United Kingdom announced Saturday its readiness to airdrop food aid into Gaza and evacuate children in urgent need of medical care, as part of growing international efforts to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave. The announcement followed talks between British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his French and German counterparts, Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz, respectively. During the call, the leaders discussed Britain's plans to expand humanitarian support to Gaza and help evacuate wounded and ill children. A statement from the UK Prime Minister's Office said Britain will cooperate with partners, including Jordan, to carry out the airdrops and evacuations. The joint statement described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "horrific" and emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive plans to transform any ceasefire into a lasting peace. The leaders also affirmed their commitment to working with regional and international actors to support a long-term resolution that enhances security in the region. The announcement comes one day after UN Secretary-General António Guterres sharply criticized the international community for failing to respond to the widespread famine in Gaza, calling it 'a moral outrage and a test of our collective conscience.'

Meloni: Recognising Palestinian state before it is established may be 'counterproductive'
Ammon News - Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Saturday that recognising the State of Palestine before it is established could be counterproductive. "I am very much in favour of the State of Palestine but I am not in favour of recognising it prior to establishing it," Meloni told Italian daily La Repubblica. "If something that doesn't exist is recognised on paper, the problem could appear to be solved when it isn't," Meloni added. France's decision to recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September drew condemnation from Israel and the United States, amid the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. A German government spokesperson said on Friday that Berlin was not planning to recognise a Palestinian state in the short term and said its priority now is to make "long-overdue progress" towards a two-state solution.
