NEW: @ceprdc’s @TheLancet study finds unilateral sanctions kill about 564K people annually - that rivals the death toll from armed conflicts. Sanctions are as deadly as war itself. bit.ly/Sanctions_Study

Our powerful @Daily_Express front page for tomorrow. The brutal suffering in Gaza must end. The shocking image shows Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq, one, who weighs the same as three-month old baby due to the humanitarian crisis following the continued blocking of basic aid…
Israel is continuing to use starvation as a method of warfare, a war crime, and as a tool to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. The harrowing suffering of starving Palestinians in Gaza, including our own colleagues, on an hourly basis, is…
Nice to hear from the European Union's top diplomat that "all options are on the table," but as Israel commits genocide, isn't it time to move from "options" to actions, such as ending Israel's trade benefits with the E.U.? x.com/kajakallas/sta…
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
Bogie Ayalon, former Defense Minister of Israel, accuses the IDF and Israel's security leadership of committing war crimes. Clearly, Israel's former Defense Minister must be Hamas...
ראשי מערכת הביטחון- הרמטכ״ל, ר׳ המוסד ומ״מ ר׳ השב״כ, פינוי אוכלוסיה שלמה מבתיה ללא אבחנה, הריסת בתיה באופן שיטתי וריכוזה בתא שטח מצומצם ב״עיר הומניטרית״, לצורך ״גירושה מרצון״ - זו סדרה של פשעי מלחמה על פי דין, שלא לדבר על ערכי המוסר שלנו. הרעבת אוכלוסיה, כדי להביאה ל״גירוש מרצון״…

Mass starvation in Gaza engineered by Zionists, backed by the United States. There are no words for the level of brutality and suffering and amount of calculated cruelty necessary to carry out this genocide.
Alex de Waal has worked on humanitarian causes across the globe for over 40 years. “There is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.”
Muchas gracias por esta recepción inolvidable en Tuxtepec, Oaxaca; amor con amor se paga. El 4 de agosto inauguramos el Hospital General IMSS-Bienestar, que se construyó con los recursos de la venta del avión presidencial. Avanza la transformación.
Israel ha cruzado todas las líneas rojas en Gaza. Nuestros equipos están siendo testigos directos de un genocidio. El mundo observa cómo se sigue derramando sangre, se despoja de dignidad y se ataca nuestra humanidad. 🔴 DEJAD VIVIR A GAZA. 🔴
The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
A ceasefire is not enough. The Israeli military’s weaponisation of aid and starvation to displace and destroy Palestinian society will not stop as long as Israel controls aid distribution. Our new analysis shows how Israel has imposed a deadly aid system through GHF ration…

Trump's team is rolling its eyes about Netanyahu after his latest strikes in Syria. "Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time." So when will Trump stop arming and financing Israel's war crimes? axios.com/2025/07/20/isr…
The endless slaughter: Israeli forces killed more than 60 Palestinians and wounded many more on Sunday in the northern Gaza Strip, "after crowds gathered near a crossing from Israel to try to seize aid from United Nations trucks entering the enclave." nytimes.com/2025/07/20/wor…
⭕️ 🇺🇸 Durante sus 250 años de historia, Estados Unidos ha sostenido que posee un mandato legítimo para derrocar a los gobernantes que no sean de su agrado e imponer en su lugar regímenes satélites cuya función real es garantizar los intereses de la Casa Blanca y las…
BREAKING: The only meal hospital staff in Gaza were receiving — provided by World Central Kitchen — has stopped. WCK has run out of food. Doctors, nurses, paramedics — already collapsing from exhaustion — now have nothing to eat. They are saving lives while starving. This is…
