The trickle of food aid Israel is allowing to enter the Gaza Strip is seized by Palestinians risking their lives under fire, looted by gangs or diverted in chaotic circumstances rather than reaching those most in need. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/04/world/gangs-gaza-aid-most-needy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #us #un #hunger #famine

Hamas said it was prepared to coordinate with the Red Cross to deliver aid to hostages it holds in the Gaza Strip if Israel permanently opens humanitarian corridors and halts airstrikes during the distribution of aid. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/04/world/hamas-hostages-israel-airstrikes/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu

"... it was part of the Nazi policy, it was intended, they were aware of it, it was a plan and a policy of starvation..."

Trump’s unexpected strike on Iran shows how Israel’s influence overcame his reluctance for foreign wars — a lesson with mixed implications for U.S. allies like Taiwan and Japan who count on American military support. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/14/world/lessons-from-iran-bombing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #donaldtrump #benjaminnetanyahu #indopacific #israel #iran #israeliranconflict #defense
