The Palestinian interior ministry in Gaza warned residents of the coastal enclave not to assist the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, saying deadly incidents near its food distribution sites endangered Palestinian lives.

"It is strictly forbidden to deal with, work for, or provide any form of assistance or cover to the American organisation (GHF) or its local or foreign agents," an interior ministry statement said.

"Legal action will be taken against anyone proven to be involved in cooperation with this organisation, including the imposition of the maximum penalties stipulated in the applicable national laws," it added, without giving further details.

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has not yet taken a final decision about a Qatar-Egyptian proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner swap deal, Palestinian sources said.

"Hamas is currently consulting with various Palestinian factions before submitting its official response to the mediators," the sources told Anadolu.

The sources, however, suggested that the group is likely to accept the proposal.

‘Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocide in modern history’

The UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory stressed the need for accountability over the recent killings of Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza, while urging a comprehensive approach to investigate Israeli misconduct in the territory.

"There is a need, again, there is a need for accountability. No question about that," Francesca Albanese told a press briefing in Geneva, responding to a question from Anadolu on whether recent killings near aid zones run by the controversial US- and Israeli-supported Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) warrant a new case before the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court.

Her press briefing came after the presentation of her new report, which focused on "economic genocide" happening in the occupied Palestinian territory. She described the GHF aid scheme as a "death trap — engineered to kill or force the flight of a starved population".

Israel is continuing to use starvation as a weapon of war against civilians in Gaza, as part of a broader effort to "inflict genocide" on Palestinians, human rights group Amnesty International said.

In a statement, the London-based group said conditions for civilians in Gaza remain catastrophic, especially for children, amid ongoing bombardment, forced displacement, and a lack of access to food, clean water and medicine.

"Israel's genocide has continued unabated in Gaza," said Amnesty Secretary General Agnes Callamard.

Israel is "deliberately imposing conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction" for the Palestinians, he added.

Four Palestine Action members have been charged in connection with a terrorism investigation after $9.5 million damage was caused to aircraft at RAF Brize Norton last month, counter-terrorism police said.

In a statement, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) said they charged four people as part of an investigation into an incident in which damage was caused to aircraft at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire on June 20.

Amy Gardiner-Gibson, 29, Daniel Jeronymides-Norie, 35, Jony Cink, 24, and Lewie Chiaramello, 22, have been charged with "conspiracy to enter a prohibited place knowingly for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom, and conspiracy to commit criminal damage, both offences being contrary to section 1(1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977", said the statement.

American contractors guarding Gaza aid sites are reportedly using live rounds and stun grenades on Palestinians, according to AP. Analyst James Dorsey shares his insights.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the calls of Israeli ministers to apply full sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying the Kingdom “condemns and denounces” the statements made by Israeli officials calling for the imposition of sovereignty over the Palestinian territory of the West Bank.

It added saying that such actions violate international legitimacy resolutions, reiterating the Kingdom's firm rejection of any attempts to expand settlements on Palestinian land, stressing the importance of holding the Israeli authorities accountable to international resolution.

Israel is responsible for "one of the cruelest genocides in modern history," the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, said.

She denounced the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—Israel's new aid mechanism in Gaza—as "a death trap – engineered to kill or force the flight of a starved, bombarded, emaciated population marked for."

She highlighted the economic gains made during the war, noting that in the past 20 months, arms companies have turned "near-record profits" by supplying Israel with weapons used to bombard Gaza.

"Arms companies have turned near-record profits by equipping Israel with cutting-edge weaponry to unleash 85,000 tons of explosives—six times the power of Hiroshima—to destroy Gaza," she said.
