United Nations Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese is calling for concrete action on what she described as Israel's "genocidal" occupation of Gaza.

Albanese was speaking to delegates from 30 countries at a conference in Colombia on the Israel-Hamas war and ways that nations can try to stop Israel’s military More...offensive in the territory.

Many of the participating nations have descMore...ribed the violence as genocide against the Palestinians. Israel, which was founded in the aftermath of the Holocaust, has adamantly rejected genocide allegations against it as an antisemitic “blood libel.”

"Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with the State of Israel, military, strategic, political, diplomatic, economic relations, imports and exports," Albanese said on Tuesday, "and make sure that their private sectors, insurers, banks, pension funds, universities and other good and service providers in the supply chain do the same."

Israel has carried out powerful air strikes near Syria’s presidential palace and on the military headquarters in the heart of Damascus, a major escalation in its bombardment of the neighbouring country.

At least three people were killed and 34 others were wounded in the attacks on Damascus on Wednesday, Syrian state media reported, citing the Ministry of Health.

While targeting Damascus, the Israeli military continued to pound areas in southern Syria, including Suwayda, where a new ceasefire deal has been struck after four days of clashes between Druze armed groups, Bedouin tribes and government forces, which left hundreds dead.

Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Israeli attacks on Damascus and Suwayda were “part of a systematic Israeli policy to ignite tension and chaos and undermine security in Syria”, calling on the international community to take “urgent action” against Israeli aggression.

President Trump on Monday pivoted in favor of Ukraine, arranging for U.S. weapons to be delivered to Kyiv and threatening new sanctions on Moscow if Russia’s war stretches later in the year.

Speaking in the Oval Office alongside NATMore...O Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Trump outlined the parameters of a deal to sell U.S.-manufactured weapons to NATO, with the expectation that they’ll be delivered to Ukraine.

The systems include Patriot missile defense batteries, which are seen as critical for Ukraine’s defenses as it seeks to guard its skies from Russian bombardment.

Trump cast the agreement as a win for the U.S., which has approved more than $175 billion in aid for Ukraine since the war started in 2022. It comes after most NATO countries agreed to ramp up their defense spending.

“We are going to be sending them weapons and they’re going to be paying for them,” Trump said.

The president also set a 50-day deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to the war.

Israeli forces have continued to pound Gaza, striking a busy market and a water distribution point, killing at least 95 Palestinians, as the death toll from Israel’s war on the enclave passed the grim milestone of 58,000.

The Israeli attack on the Gaza City market killed at least 17 people on Sunday, including prominent doctor Ahmed Qandil, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

In the central Nuseirat refugee camp, an Israeli missile attack struck a water collection point, killing at least 10 people.

Seven of the victims were children who had queued up to collect drinking water, according to medical sources. At least 17 others were also wounded.

The Israeli military is yet to comment on the Gaza City market strike, but said its attack on Nuseirat was aimed at a Palestinian fighter and had veered off course due to technical failure.

TVNL Comment:  Oh dear, a technical failure killed all those little children waiting for water. Another 'oops' explanation that really is an intentional act of genocide. Everyone knows that, yet everyone remains silent. Why?

President Trump on Sunday said that the United States will be sending Patriot air defense munitions to Ukraine, reiterating his disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The president wouldn’t say how many Patriot systems or missiles will go to Ukraine but noted the U.S. isn’t going to be paying for the supply.

“I haven’t agreed on the number yet, but they’re going to have some because they do need protection, but the European Union is paying for it. We’re not paying anything for it, but we will send it,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews on his return to Washington.

He added, “we will send them Patriots, which they desperately need because Putin has really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. A little bit of a problem there. I don’t like it.”

At least eight Palestinians, most of them children, were killed and more than a dozen were wounded in central Gaza when they went to collect water on July 13, local officials said, in an Israeli strike which the military said missed its target.

The Israeli military said the missile had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area but that a malfunction had caused it to fall "dozens of metres from the target".

"The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians," it said in a statement, adding that the incident was under review.
