Quick, forget about the genocide, it was just a humanitarian crisis...
UK pledges $27m aid package for war-ravaged Gaza
The UK will provide a 20 million pound ($27m) aid package to deliver water, sanitation and hygiene services in Gaza.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer made the announcement as he arrived in Egypt for the summit on ending the war.
The UK government said the funding would be delivered through UNICEF, the World Food Programme and the Norwegian Refugee Council, and is designed to reach those facing famine, malnutrition and disease.
The UK said it would also host a three-day summit on the reconstruction of Gaza, which will include international government officials, the private sector and development finance representatives.
Yeah they're just going to discuss who gets the juicy reconstruction contracts. Spoils of the genocide.
German official indicates curb on arms exports to Israel may be lifted
German Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil has signalled his government will lift restrictions on supplying weapons to Israel that were announced in August.
Klingbeil’s remarks to German broadcaster ARD suggested a policy shift following the Gaza truce deal, with a ceasefire holding between Israel and Hamas for a third day.
“We will reassess the situation,” Klingbeil said about the weapons exports.
Germany is Israel’s second-biggest weapons supplier after the US and has long been one of its staunchest supporters, principally due to historical guilt for the Nazi Holocaust.
In August, however, Germany suspended exports of weaponry that could be used in the Gaza Strip because of Israel’s plan to expand its assault. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to travel to Egypt to participate in the signing ceremony for US President Trump’s peace plan.
Can't wait to send more weapons, more money.
Ah someone with a back bone, not gonna sit with the war criminals.
Iran will not attend Gaza peace summit: FM
Neither Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian nor Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will attend the Gaza summit in Egypt after confirming an invitation from the host country.
Iranian state news agency IRNA reported that Egypt invited Iran to take part in Monday’s summit in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
But early on Monday, Araghchi posted: “Neither President Pezeshkian nor I can engage with counterparts who have attacked the Iranian People and continue to threaten and sanction us,” in reference to the United States.
The US joined Israel’s attack that targeted Iran’s nuclear sites during a 12-day war in June.
The foreign minister said that Tehran still supported any initiative “to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza” and to defend Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
