Palestinians in Gaza continue to face severe food insecurity, according to the latest figures released by the United Nations.
Around one in five families in the besieged Palestinian enclave are eating only one meal per day. Around half of the families in Gaza completely ran out of food at least once in the past month, according to the report published on Thursday.
Despite the ceasefire reached between Hamas and Israel in October 2025, Israel has failed to meet its obligations to increase the flow of aid into Gaza, perpetuating the humanitarian crisis it created.
Two-thirds of the population - around 1.4 million people - are facing crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity, according to the World Food Programme (WFP).
Tens of thousands of children suffered malnutrition during Israel’s siege on Gaza, which began in October 2023.

Iran strikes military bases in response to US attack
Iran has struck US infrastructure in Jordan and a UAE military base in retaliation of American strikes on Monday morning on the country's Larak island, which killed Iranian civilians and military personnel.
Tehran shared footage of strikes against the King Hussein and al-Azraq US military bases in Jordan and said it struck the UAE's Al Minhad Air Base, a claim Abu Dhabi has denied.
The US CentCom announced early on Monday that it struck Iran for it posing an "imminent threat" to the Strait of Hormuz. Reports have meanwhile emerged on Pete Hegseth, the US defence chief, receiving warnings against continuing the war on Iran on behalf of US senior military officials, according to the Washington Post.

Can Syria reintegrate its Druze population?
The Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, announced its dissolution last week in a landmark decision for the country's Kurdish-led paramilitary.
The announcement was hailed as a step forward in Syria's reintegration following over a decade of civil war.
Yet the news was overshadowed by reports of clashes among militias in Suwayda, where the country's Druze population is still reeling from massacres by government-aligned forces last year.
So, can Suwayda be reintegrated into the Syrian state? And what would that look like?

Former Israeli PM Bennett says American students associate Israel with genocide
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said during a podcast interview that, just as Italy is associated with "spaghetti and pasta", Israel is now associated with "genocide and baby killers" in the US.
He made these comments in trying to prove the point that Israel must further work on its public image to regain appreciation, especially in American universities, which he says have been "infiltrated" by pro-Palestinian agents.

‘A soul was snatched from me’: Gaza crisis pushes increase in miscarriages
“I was really upset about the baby, to be honest. I mean, it’s not easy, it’s like a soul was snatched from me.”
Enaam Abou Fasaifi, 38, is one of nearly 4,000 miscarriage cases recorded by Gaza’s health ministry in the first half of 2026.
Medical workers and doctors are warning that the increasing number of miscarriages - which has tripled between January and June compared with the previous six months - is a result of declining sexual and reproductive health conditions in the strip as well as poor nutrition and severe anemia among pregnant women.

More than six months after the strike killed over 170 people, mostly children, the US government has yet to publicly accept responsibility or formally release the findings of a Pentagon investigation.
Rharrit, who served as the US State Department's Arabic-language spokesperson, resigned in 2024 over US policy in Gaza. She sat down with Mohamed Hashem on Real Talk.

Should Brits care about Palestine? | MEE Live
Andy Burnham addressed the Commons as UK prime minister for the first time on Tuesday. He focused on domestic issues such as water, energy, transport and the cost of living. But a pressing briefing to his government published on the same day argues Israel-Palestine must be a policy priority.
Written by the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians and the Labour Muslim Network, it accuses Britain of publicly condemning Israel's occupation while its money and weaponry sustains it.
MEE Live's Mathilda Mallinson asked LMN Chair Ali Milani why Palestine should be a policy priority in Britain, whose new prime minister came to fame as a local mayor who put his town first.

Audience cheer at anti-Muslim speech during Jewish American Summit
Audience members laughed and cheered on Mosab Hassan Youssef as he called on Muslims to “get the fuck out of the United States” and return to the “shitholes” where they "came from", during a talk at the Jewish American Summit in Los Angeles on Sunday.
“I don't give a fuck about your Quran. I don't give a fuck about your paedophile prophet. And I don't care, I don't give a fuck about your entire belief system. You disgust me,” added Youssef, the son of a Hamas co-founder who defected to Israel in 1997 and renounced Islam.

The Israeli Government Press Office released footage of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting Gaza with the army, and a video-statement in which he says: "We control the area. We are not retreating. [...] We control 60% of the Strip, and we are not stopping."
He added that the Israeli army is working towards the "demilitarisation of Hamas".
This comes as further scrutiny has been placed on the operation of the US-led Board of Peace intended to rebuild Gaza. The head of the Board, Nikolay Mladenov recently said in an interview that "there would be no more Gaza".

📰 Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair was recently sent by Donald Trump's Board of Peace to ask the Palestinian Authority (PA) to replace any mention of the word "Palestine" in schoolbooks with the Jewish designation of "Samaria", Middle East Eye has heard.
Jeremy Greenstock, who was Britain's ambassador to the UN between 1998 and 2003, told MEE that Blair attempted to exert pressure on the PA and said that if it was serious about being seen by the Board of Peace as capable of reaching an agreement with Israel to end the war on Gaza, then the word "Palestine" should be erased from textbooks.
In a wide-ranging interview on the David Hearst Podcast, Greenstock said the demand was rejected by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Greenstock also said that his former boss was experiencing "difficulties" in his new role overseeing the postwar management of Gaza for the board.
