“This is the moment to work.”

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer announced on Tuesday that the United Kingdom will get to know an independent Palestinian state that begins in September unless Israel takes “fundamental steps to end the horrific situation in Gaza and adhere to a long -term sustainable peace.” This will include Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas, allowing the United Nations to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza without obstacle, and pledged not to include the West Bank.

“I have always said that we will get to know the Palestinian state as a contribution to the appropriate peace process at the moment of the maximum impact of the two -state solution,” said Starmer outside the Downing Street. “With this solution now under threat, this is the moment of behavior.”

The United Kingdom is the second major European country to announce such intention this month. Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron said that Paris would recognize the state of Palestine, which begins in September.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the UK declaration, describing it as a “reward for Hamas”. The ministry said in a statement, “The shift in the position of the British government at this time, following the French move and internal political pressure, constitutes a reward for Hamas and harms efforts to cease fire in Gaza and the hostage framework.”

The UK announcement comes at a time when dozens of foreign ministers in New York City meet for a multi -day conference under the auspices of France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which aims to advance the implementation of a solution of state of the Israeli -Palestinian conflict.

It also comes amid an increasing international warning to the mass hunger crisis in Gaza caused by the ongoing war of Israel and the country’s strict restrictions on helping to enter the besieged lands. The IPC, a global initiative that is the leading authority in the world, has issued a serious alert on Tuesday a warning that the “worst star scenario” is now happening in Gaza. The report said: “The escalating evidence indicates that hunger is widely, malnutrition and disease are leading a rise in hunger -related deaths,” the report said.

According to the Martin Power committees, director of food security and nutrition analysis at the United Nations World Food Program, the percentage of families suffering from acute malnutrition between May (when Israel raised the official total blockade when they entered more than 20,000 children who were accepted by children who were accepted by children. Mid -July.

“The voice of children who cry from hunger never stop,” said Rania Al -Shahi, the international rescue committee employee on Monday. “Every day, people knock on our doors asking for food. Not money – just bread.”

Only a group of humanitarian aid was allowed to enter Gaza. The US -backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation claims that it has distributed more than 89 million meals, although most of these foodstuffs are not ready to eat and require water and fuel for cooking, which remain largely unavailable. These deliveries occur in only four distribution sites, where there are less than a quarter of Gaza population, and supplies are often running out. Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to reach food aid in recent months.

Israel has placed the blame on the current relief crisis in Gaza on Hamas despite the United Nations, the analysis of the US government, and some Israeli officials denied evidence of the looting of the regime. These sources also insist that the theft levels have decreased significantly when providing more aid.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Tuesday that Israel “will continue to work with international agencies as well as American and European countries to ensure the flow of large quantities of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip,” specifically, to low air foods limited during the weekend. However, though, Netanyahu confirms that “there is no hunger policy in Gaza, and there is no hunger in Gaza.” US President Donald Trump refuted this claim on Monday.

Since the Israel-Husass war began in October 2023, more than 59,500 Palestinians have been killed and 143,000 were injured. The Israeli forces have damaged or destroyed nearly 70 percent of the infrastructure in Gaza, where 88 percent of the region is located under the Israeli military areas or evacuation orders. All 2.1 million people have been displaced at least once.

The Israeli rights group wrote: “Israel is taking coordinated measures to deliberately destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.” “In other words: Israel commits genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

More than 20 inches of rain. The days of heavy rains in China left on Tuesday, flooded with nearly a year of water. Parts of Beijing, Hebe Province, and the neighboring city of Tianjin remained under the danger of flooding until late on Tuesday, local time, as the local residents reported the landslides sweeping cars and expelling energy. At least 38 people were killed and more than 80,000 people were evacuated, and on Tuesday, Chinese officials allocated about $ 48 million of disaster relief funds for affected areas, such as Beijing and Baby.

According to the China Meteorological Administration, the rainy season in northern China began “abnormal” this year, with average rainfall by approximately 30 percent for the same period in previous years. Climate scientists argue that this is probably due to the phenomenon of global warming. More rains are expected to reach East China on Wednesday when Typhoon Co-May falls.

Civil infrastructure targeting. Ukrainian officials said on Tuesday that Russian attacks overnight through Ukraine hit several civilian targets, including a medical facility and prison. “It was a deliberate, intended blow, not accidental,” Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski wrote on X. At least 22 people were killed and dozens were injured in the attack; More than half of the death number on Tuesday was prisoners in the Zaporizhzia region in Ukraine.

“It was not possible that the Russians were unaware that they were targeting civilians in this facility,” Zelinski added, in reference to prison. “This was done after a completely clear position has been expressed by the United States.”

On Monday, Trump expressed his frustration of the unwillingness of Russian President Vladimir Putin to return to the negotiating table with Ukraine. He reduced a 50 -day initial window for Moscow to make progress towards securing a peace agreement or facing additional sanctions, saying: “I want to be generous, but we do not see any progress made.” This deadline is now 10 days starting on Tuesday (which will determine the date of August 8) instead of early September.

“We are still committed to a peace process to resolve the conflict over Ukraine and ensure our interests in this settlement,” Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, told reporters on Tuesday, adding that Moscow “took a flag” with the new date.

Aden. On Monday, the lower Colombian court condemned the former President Alvaro Urby on bribery and tampering with a historic ruling ending with the trial of nearly six months of the influential conservative personality. The decision is the first major criminal condemnation of a former Colombian president in the country’s history. Urby faces up to 12 years in prison; The ruling is expected to appeal.

The court found that Orepe is guilty of conspiring with a lawyer to try to bribe three former military personnel for the decline in the certificate that harmed the reputation of the former leader. The certificate was linked to the continuous investigation of whether Uriani helped financing a paramilitary organization in the 1990s before he became president in 2002. During the eight years he held at the highest position in the country, Urby has followed an aggressive military campaign against the left -wing rebel groups, and since then he was a deduction of the current left -wing president Gustavo Petro.
