Gaza aid ‘rapidly collapsed’ after Rafah invasion: Refugees International chief

Jeremy Konyndyk says Israel’s Rafah offensive has “proved devastating” for the majority of Gaza’s population caught in the central and southern areas.

Konyndyk, who also served as a US international development official in the Biden and Obama administrations, said aid delivery “rapidly collapsed”, particularly after Israeli forces seized the Rafah crossing in early May.

He said “temporary progress” made after the International Court of Justice’s provisional orders is “rapidly evaporating” making the “famine trajectory … very worrying”.

‘Impossible to find warehouses for aid in Gaza’: Refugees International chief

Jeremy Konyndyk says the deteriorating humanitarian situation in central and southern Gaza has been made worse because it is now “almost impossible” for humanitarian organisations to find warehouses, after many had been destroyed.

Last week, Humanity & Inclusion (HI), an organisation that provides humanitarian relief for people with disabilities, said its warehouse in Rafah was “completely bulldozed” by the Israeli army, destroying all of the humanitarian and medical supplies inside.

HI, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, said it “strongly condemned” the Israeli army’s actions and that it was “extremely concerned that attacks against humanitarian facilities and operations are becoming a pattern despite proper notification to the Israeli authorities”.


Tactical pause part of misleading narrative by Israeli army

The tactical pause is part of an ongoing misleading and contradictory narrative by the Israeli military, quite similar to the narrative of evacuations, safe zones across the Gaza Strip where people ended up being killed.

Right now, whether there’s a tactical pause or not, when compared with the number of trucks allowed into Gaza from Karem Abu Salem crossing, it’s less than what is sufficient and what’s needed to help people to combat the difficult living conditions. We’re only talking about four commercial trucks and five fuel trucks. When compared with the greater needs on the ground, this is nothing.

It looks like from the pattern of how it’s happening, it’s either the crossings are closed and no commercial trucks are allowed, or if they are allowed, there are conditions created on the ground to make it very difficult for the delivery of aid.

As of yesterday, about eight law enforcement officials were killed as they were securing the delivery of commercial trucks to the market here in the central area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

UN rights chief says suffering in Gaza ‘unconscionable’

In a session of the UN Human Rights Council, Volker Turk has addressed Israel’s escalating attacks in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank. “The situation in the West Bank”, he said, “is dramatically deteriorating”, while Palestinians in Gaza face “unconscionable death and suffering”.

In the West Bank, Turk pointed out that Israeli forces or settlers have killed 528 Palestinians since October, and that Israel is arbitrarily detaining thousands of Palestinians.

Turning to Gaza, Turk said Israel’s attacks have been “relentless”, causing “immense suffering and widespread destruction”. He also criticised Palestinian armed groups for keeping captives, including in populated areas, which he said puts both the captives and nearby civilians in danger.

Israeli military arrests 16 year old in Hebron

The Israeli military has arrested a 16-year-old minor from the occupied West Bank city of Hebron, the Wafa news agency is reporting. The minor, named as Hadi Wael Skafi, was arrested from a vehicle at the northern entrance to the city, according to Wafa.

Israeli military raids have been reported in other locations in the occupied West Bank, including:

  • The city of Nablus
  • The towns of Bil’in, Umm Safa, and Kafr Ni’ma in Ramallah district

There have also been reports of Israeli settlers attacking Palestinian vehicles in the town of Huwwara, south of Nablus, while seven Palestinians were injured on Monday night when settlers attacked them in the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah.



Israeli forces interrogate dozens in school during overnight West Bank raid

Israeli forces have arrested dozens of Palestinians, in Qusrah, near Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, taking them to a school where they were held and interrogated overnight, the Wafa news agency is reporting.

The raid in Qusra was one of several where Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces overnight. Wafa and Palestinian sources also reported that:

  • Two brothers were arrested in Jericho, where Israeli forces besieged a home
  • Three Palestinians were arrested in Umm Safa
  • One Palestinian was arrested in Kafr Ni’ma
  • One Palestinian was arrested in Sinjil in the north of Ramallah district

Israeli military carries out arrests in raids near Ramallah

The Israeli military has arrested five Palestinians during the storming of several towns and villages in Ramallah and el-Bireh governorate in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reports.

Three men, including a university professor, were arrested from their homes in the village of Safa, northwest of Ramallah.

Israeli forces also arrested a Palestinian man who was only released from detention a month ago after raiding his home in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. A fifth man was arrested in the village of Deir Ibzi, west of Ramallah.

Confrontations have also broken out between Israeli forces and Palestinians in the village of Ajoul, north of Ramallah.

Israeli forces have been rounding up 35 Palestinians a day on average since the war started, with more than 9,112 Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli jails as of June 1 – nearly double the number of Palestinians jailed on October 1.


Israeli settlers attack Palestinian villages in occupied West Bank

Illegal Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Wafa news agency has reported.

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian residents in the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah by throwing rocks, injuring three people. Settlers also attacked Palestinian vehicles in the town of Huwara, south of Nablus.

In the south, Israeli settlers set up an illegal outpost on privately owned Palestinian land east of Hebron.

Since October 7, 548 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers while more than 5,200 have been wounded.

US keeping up appearances as ‘some sort of peacemaker’

I think US special adviser Amos Hochstein’s visit is just meant to show that Americans are in fact involved and interested in calming the situation, while Israel continues to pound Gaza and south Lebanon.

There could be some hints of an attempt at arrangements for the day after Gaza, in the sense of what will constitute a permanent ceasefire on the northern border with Lebanon and how that could be handled.

Most of the proposals so far insist Hezbollah must redeploy at least 6km [3.7 miles] from the border. That’s not exactly to its liking for the time being. The war continues and the United States continues to keep up the appearance of some sort of a peacemaker.

Clearly, Israel is not driving what’s next on the northern border – Hezbollah is. In the sense that Israel would have just liked that nothing happened on the north and that it could simply focus on Gaza and the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem and so on.

Israel will not negotiate ceasefire deal that departs from current outline: Report

Israel is not open to changing the outline of the UN-backed ceasefire proposal, which Hamas has requested several amendments to, a senior Israeli negotiator told Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth news.

“There will be no negotiations on an outline other than the one accepted by the UN Security Council,” the unnamed negotiator said.

The source went on to characterise Hamas’s response to the ceasefire proposal as “total refusal”, while issuing a warning that Israel’s war on Gaza would continue even after its Rafah operations.

Hamas has described its requested changes to the deal as “not significant” and confirmed its position is consistent with the foundational principles of the proposal.

Israel’s government has yet to publicly back the deal, with Netanyahu insisting the war on Gaza will continue until Hamas is defeated.


Two key US Congress Democrats approve major arms sale to Israel: Report

Two Democrats in US Congress who have been stalling a major arms sale to Israel have agreed to support the deal under heavy pressure from the Biden administration, the Washington Post reports.

Citing three unnamed officials, the Post said that Representative Gregory Meeks and Senator Ben Cardin finally relented weeks ago after months of holding up the weapons package, which includes 50 F-15 fighter jets worth more than $18bn.

Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had previously promised to hold up the package until he received assurances about how Israel would use the warplanes and munitions in Gaza.

“Any issues or concerns Chair Cardin had were addressed through our ongoing consultations with the [Biden] Administration, and that’s why he felt it appropriate to allow this case to move forward,” Eric Harris, communications director for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Post.

US Muslim rights group says new probe again proves Israel’s genocidal intent

We’ve been reporting on an investigation from The Associated Press (AP) that found at least 60 cases where families in Gaza lost at least 25 family members in Israeli strikes since October.

This is what Nihad Awad, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said about the new report:

  • This important investigation by the internationally respected AP once again exposes the genocidal intent of the far-right Israeli government.
  • Entire Palestinian families are being slaughtered, starved and forcibly displaced every day, with the support of the Biden administration and the use of US weapons.
  • There should be no more excuses for those who deny that Israel is annihilating the Palestinians and committing genocide.
  • We demand President Biden take concrete action to end the slaughter. He is doing a disservice to both our nation and humanity through his complicity with Israel’s genocide.


Deleted Israeli ad showed ‘blatant genocidal rhetoric’

The Green Party’s presidential candidate in the US has described a now-deleted video posted by an official Israeli government account on X as “Israel’s most blatant genocidal rhetoric yet”.

Stein added that the “the world must condemn” the language used in the post, which said “there are no innocent civilians there”, in reference to Gaza.

‘Dozens’ of captives still alive, according to top Israeli negotiator

A senior Israeli negotiator has said that “dozens” of captives are still alive “with certainty” in Gaza, the AFP news agency reports. “We cannot leave them there a long time – they will die,” he said on condition of anonymity, adding that the vast majority are being held by Hamas.

The negotiator continued that Israel cannot end its assault on Gaza before securing a deal for the captives as Hamas could “drag out the negotiations for 10 years”.

“We cannot, at this point in time – before signing the agreement – commit to ending the war,” they said.

Netanyahu’s government can be overthrown, says Lapid

Israel’s opposition leader, Yair Lapid, is optimistic that opposition forces can unite to remove Netanyahu from power. “This government should be overthrown, I think it can be overthrown,” Lapid said in comments carried by Israel’s 103FM radio.

“Now that Gantz has finally left the government, we have the means. The opposition will work together, we will unite it without ego to bring down the government.”

On June 9, Gantz and Gadi Eisenkot resigned from Israel’s war cabinet, in a blow to Netanyahu who has since disbanded the body.

At least 8 arrested in antigovernment protests in Israel

Israeli police arrested at least eight people at mass protests outside the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday night, the Haaretz newspaper reports.

Three people were also wounded during the antigovernment protests, which saw tens of thousands converge on the city calling for new elections, a ceasefire deal in Gaza, and a captive release deal.



Israeli MP labels antigovernment protesters ‘Hamas’

Nissim Vaturi, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, has equated Israel’s antigovernment protesters to Hamas. “There are a few branches of Hamas – the fighting branch of wicked terrorists who murder children, and the branch of the protests”, Vaturi told Israel’s Kol Brama radio station.

As we’ve been reporting, antigovernment protests have swept Israel in recent days as part of a declared “Week of Resistance”. Thousands of the protesters, calling for early elections and an end to the Gaza war, rallied at Israel’s Knesset last night before marching towards Netanyahu’s residence, where police clashed with them and made eight arrests.

Translation: Clashes between protesters and police at the Gaza-Metodela intersection. Demonstrators broke through barriers and are trying to get closer to Netanyahu’s house. Now they encountered another barrier.

 

Footage shows Israeli police officer pulling protester by her hair

Footage has emerged of plain-clothed Israeli police officers punching and pulling a protester by her hair during a demonstration outside the Jerusalem home of PM Netanyahu.

Eight people were arrested during the antigovernment demonstrations, while three were injured – including a 70-year-old who sustained a head injury while being arrested.

Pressure is mounting on Netanyahu, with protesters calling for a ceasefire and a captive release deal, as well as for elections to be held.

Israel-Hezbollah conflict has gone on ‘long enough’: US envoy

Senior US envoy Amos Hochstein is now addressing the news media in Beirut, where he is on a diplomatic visit to try to ease tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.

“The conflict along the Blue Line between Israel and Hezbollah has gone on for long enough,” Hochstein said. “Innocent people are dying, property is damaged, families are shattered and the Lebanese economy continues to decline.

“The country is suffering for no good reason. It’s in everyone’s interest to resolve it quickly and diplomatically.”

Hochstein, fresh out of meetings with Lebanese officials, said the following about the status of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict:

  • Shuttle diplomacy is ongoing because the “situation is serious” along the Israel-Lebanon border with tensions spiking in recent weeks.
  • US President Joe Biden’s objective is to “avoid a further escalation to a greater war”.
  • He believes there is still a “diplomatic path” to resolving the crisis.

US envoy says Gaza ceasefire would calm Israel-Lebanon border

US envoy Hochstein’s message in Beirut was to Hamas, that the group should agree to the US-backed ceasefire proposal on the table. When you speak to Hamas, you’re also speaking to its ally Hezbollah, so this is a message to them as well.

Hochstein’s saying that a ceasefire in Gaza could bring an end to the war on Israel’s northern front. But what he did not say is what will happen if Hamas does not agree.

What he stressed is the level of danger and the Biden administration’s fear that this limited war could become a much greater war.

Last time Hochstein was here in Beirut in March, he had very different words. At that time, he said a ceasefire in Gaza will not automatically cause an end to the conflict in the north because Israel is demanding security guarantees.

This is Hochstein’s fourth round of shuttle diplomacy. Right now it’s still not clear whether or not he’s going to succeed.
There is still diplomacy at work here – and both sides have left the possibility of a diplomatic solution open, at least for the time being.

 

Momentum for a ceasefire dissipated since Blinkenn

Blinken was saying as he left [Israel] that only a ceasefire in Gaza will help solve the Hezbollah-Israel fighting along the northern border, but the momentum that came with Blinken towards a ceasefire has somewhat dissipated since then.

Hochstein met with all Israeli leaders, from the prime minister to Benny Gantz to Yair Lapid and the opposition.

He also met with the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog, and Herzog pointed to what he called the relentless attacks and rocket fire from Hezbollah instigated by Iran in the north towards Israeli cities in the northern towns and cities.

It’s a very live political situation in Israel, some 60,000 people evacuated from 28 towns and villages along the north. They want to go home, the government wants to go home; ideally they want to be there by the beginning of the school year in September.

At first Israel says yes, it’s open to negotiations, but Hezbollah is saying not until there’s a ceasefire in Gaza.

Israeli settlers attack Palestinian villages in occupied West Bank

Illegal Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Wafa news agency has reported.

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian residents in the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah by throwing rocks, injuring three people. Settlers also attacked Palestinian vehicles in the town of Huwara, south of Nablus.

In the south, Israeli settlers set up an illegal outpost on privately owned Palestinian land east of Hebron.

Since October 7, 548 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers while more than 5,200 have been wounded.

Israeli settlers injure two Palestinians in West Bank village: Report

Israeli settlers have attacked and injured two Palestinians in the village of Burin, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, Wafa reports.

Red Crescent spokesperson Ahmed Jibril said ambulance crews transferred the two wounded individuals identified as a 54-year-old woman and 50-year-old man to a nearby hospital.

Local sources said a group of Israeli settlers severely beat the two residents. Israeli settlers also attacked several homes near the Burin Industrial School, Wafa reported.


Several injured in Israeli settler attack near Jericho

Eight injured in Israeli raid north of Tyre and western Galilee: Report

Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that eight civilians have been injured in Israel’s raid targeting a car in the al-Barghalia area, north of Tyre in southern Lebanon.

Meanwhile, Israeli news website Hadashot Bezman reported that a fire broke out in the Matzuva area in Israel’s Galilee after rockets fell.

Israeli Channel 12 said that there were reports of injuries in western Galilee and that rockets fired from Lebanon towards the Nahariya area – the most northern coastal city in Israel – were intercepted.

Israeli army claims attacks against Hezbollah targets

The army says it carried out a series of precise strikes against a group belonging to the Lebanese armed group’s air unit.

“The unit led dozens of operations using explosive and collection drones against Israel and [Israeli] forces. The [Israeli military] will continue to thwart the unit’s operations in the area,” it posted on X.

Hezbollah publishes drone footage claiming to show surveillance of Haifa

Hezbollah has published a nine-minute-and-31-second video of what it said was footage gathered from its surveillance aircraft of locations in Israel, including the city of Haifa’s sea and airports. Haifa is 27km (17 miles) from the Lebanese border.

Hezbollah has sent both surveillance and attack drones into Israel in the last eight months, as it exchanges fire with the Israeli military in parallel with the Gaza war.


Hezbollah’s drone footage will be seen as failure for Israel’s aerial defence

    There has been no reaction from the Israeli political or security establishment just yet [on Hezbollah’s drone footage of Haifa], but this will surely be seen as a wide failure in Israel’s aerial defence array.

    Just in the last hour, the army released a statement saying they intercepted what they called three suspicious, hostile aircraft on Israel’s northern border.

    But, if this was a drone that was able to fly over many areas of northern Israel, including the port in Haifa, and show several sensitive military targets like bases, military complexes, and iron dome batteries, it’s something the Israeli military is surely going to have to re-evaluate how exactly those air defence alarms go off.

    We have heard from several Israeli officials yesterday after their meetings with the US Envoy Amos Hochstein. They’re saying they want to deter the threat on Israel’s northern border, they want to mitigate the situation so it doesn’t spiral out of control but that Israel again is ready for an all-out war.

    Netanyahu just last week held a situational assessment and said the evacuations for the towns and settlements in northern Israel would be extended until at least the end of August.


    ‘In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed’: Israeli FM

    Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz has responded to Hezbollah’s release of drone footage showing surveillance of the Israeli port city of Haifa.

    “[Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah is bragging today that he photographed the Haifa ports, which are operated by huge international companies from China and India, and is threatening to damage them,” Katz said in a post on X.

    “We are getting very close to the moment of deciding on changing the rules of the game against Hezbollah and Lebanon. In an all-out war, Hezbollah will be destroyed and Lebanon will be severely beaten.”

    He added that Israel is determined to restore security to Israeli residents who live in the north in the region bordering Lebanon, whose lives have been disrupted by Hezbollah’s constant exchanges of fire with the Israeli army.


    They can't even root out Hamas in their fully surrounded open air prison...

    Hezbollah’s latest ploy: Has the main war front moved from Gaza to southern Lebanon?

    Hezbollah’s release today of drone footage showing surveillance of the Israeli port city of Haifa is a signal to some within the Israeli security establishment that the major front of the war has moved from Gaza to Israel’s northern border with Lebanon, according to an analyst.

    The war on that front is perceived by some in Israel as one where Hezbollah is holding “50,000 hostages”, Israeli residents of the north who cannot return to their homes there, Menachem Klein, an Israeli professor of political science at Bar-Ilan University, told Al Jazeera.

    Hezbollah’s alliance with Iran is also a major strategic threat that Israel will one day have to confront, if not now, he added.

    However, Klein believes the Israeli administration’s tactic of using more and more force must change. “Israel must change its strategic thinking to think all on political solutions rather than using force,” he said.

    Israeli military approves operational plans for Lebanon offensive

    The Israeli military announced that operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon were “approved and validated”.

    “As part of the assessment of the situation, operational plans for the attack in Lebanon were approved and implemented and decisions were made to continue accelerating the readiness of the forces in the field,” the military said in a statement.

    The United States, in response, said it does not want to see a wider regional war in the Middle East, according to the Pentagon.

    “I’m not going to get into hypotheticals and speculate on what might happen other than to say no one wants to see a wider regional war,” Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson, told reporters when asked about Israel’s move.

    Israel’s approval comes as US special envoy Amos Hochstein was in Lebanon today after meeting with Israeli leaders, to seek “urgent” de-escalation on the Israel-Lebanon border.

    Israel’s military advantage over Hezbollah, Hamas no longer the same as before

    Analyst Ramy Khoury says Hezbollah, with its release of a surveillance video of Haifa in Israel, is sending the message that Hezbollah’s capabilities “continue to expand, become more sophisticated”, and more able to “penetrate through Israeli defense systems”.

    “This has been a steady process,” Khoury, a professor at American University of Beirut, told Al Jazeera, adding that the same thing was happening with Hamas.

    “Their abilities have expanded to the point where the old advantage that Israel had over both of them in technology and heavy weaponry, air superiority, and all of those things, has been whittled down.”

    He said the consequences of this were evident in Gaza where despite tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed, Israeli forces have not been able to “eliminate Hamas’ capacity to continue fighting”.

    Gaza’s healthcare capacity down 70 percent, ministry says

    Israel’s war on Gaza has knocked out much of Gaza’s health sector and reduced its clinical capacity by 70 percent, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

    As a result, Gaza is relying more on field hospitals, which often lack basic services, to treat patients unable to find spots in hospitals.

    As of June 7, the World Health Organization (WHO) had documented 476 attacks on healthcare facilities in Gaza, which killed 727 people and injured 933.

    Gaza officials demand release of hundreds of medical workers in Israeli detention

    The Government Media Office in Gaza has put out a statement about the situation concerning the treatment of Palestinian medical personnel by Israeli forces.

    • “We call for an international investigation into the crimes of arrest and execution of Palestinian medical personnel by the occupation.”
    • “The occupation’s execution of doctor Iyad al-Rantisi inside prisons is a horrific crime.” (The Gaza Health Ministry earlier today announced al-Rantisi’s death in Israeli custody.)
    • “We demand the occupation’s release of 310 medical personnel who are being subjected to torture.”
    • “We hold the occupation and the American administration responsible for the lives and safety of medical personnel.”

    Doctors in main central Gaza hospital ‘exhausted’

    At least two residential homes were targeted by the Israeli forces [in central Gaza], and all of those people who were killed and injured were transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital here.

    Most of the injuries were in serious conditions. This is a health facility that’s trying to treat at least one million Palestinians across the middle area [of the Strip].

    This hospital is working with only one generator due to a lack of fuel. They have not received any medical supplies since Rafah was invaded because there has been no aid going into the Gaza Strip.

    The doctors say they are very overwhelmed. They are exhausted, working with very few resources to save the lives of hundreds of Palestinians.
