Condemnation Over 'Ethical Decline'
The Arab League has called out Israel's controversial plan to relocate Gaza's population to a southern "humanitarian city," labeling it a form of ethnic cleansing and a violation of international principles. The proposal, which would force over 2 million Palestinians into Rafah, has drawn sharp criticism as a potential prelude to reoccupation and settlement expansion. Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert even likened it to a "concentration camp" in a recent interview. 😡
UN Reports 875+ Aid Point Deaths
Meanwhile, the UN revealed at least 875 Palestinians have been killed near aid distribution sites in Gaza over six weeks. Most deaths occurred near U.S.-backed GHF facilities, sparking accusations of unsafe practices. The UN called the GHF model "inherently unsafe," while Israel claims Hamas diverts aid—a charge Hamas denies. 🚨
Ceasefire Talks Continue in Qatar
Negotiations for a 60-day truce are ongoing in Doha, with mediators pushing for hostage releases and Israeli troop withdrawals. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff expressed cautious optimism, but disagreements over Gaza's future governance remain a roadblock. 🤝
