Newly released footage from July 25, 2025, reveals armed Hamas terrorists violently looting humanitarian aid shipments intended for Gaza’s civilian population. This video directly contradicts weeks of accusations from Hamas, which blamed security forces for hijacking aid deliveries.

Israel’s Prime Minister’s office has announced continued efforts to facilitate aid, including daily pauses in operations and designated safety corridors for convoys, while significant aid is already being permitted into Gaza.

The European Union’s executive body has recommended curbing Israel’s access to its Horizon research funding program due to concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This proposal comes after multiple EU countries expressed that Israel was not meeting its obligations regarding aid to Gaza. If approved by a qualified majority of EU countries, the suspension would impact Israel’s participation in the European Innovation Council Accelerator, impacting funding for Israeli start-ups. The proposal is a response to a review of Israel’s compliance with human rights clauses, and Israel has expressed strong opposition to the move.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has refuted Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s claims that Israel is withholding aid from Gaza, labeling the accusations as “a lie”. This comes as a global hunger monitor issued an alert warning that famine is “playing out” in the Gaza Strip, highlighting widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease. The Israeli government, however, continues to deny the severity of the humanitarian crisis, while the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) indicates that famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption and acute malnutrition in certain areas. Despite Israel’s claims of open aid access, restrictions remain, contrasting with the urgent needs of a population facing escalating food insecurity and mortality.

Further escalating tensions in the Red Sea, the Houthi rebels have warned that they will target any ship connected to Israeli ports, regardless of its flag. This announcement signifies a move into the “4th phase” of their naval blockade against Israel. The Houthis stated that they would attack vessels belonging to companies that have dealings with Israeli ports, asserting that they could reach these targets with their missiles and drones. This poses a significant threat to international shipping and further destabilizes the already volatile region.

The United States deployed a significant portion of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors during Israel’s 12-day war with Iran, firing over 100 missiles. This rapid use of THAADs exposed a potential shortfall in the US missile defense system and depleted a valuable asset. Despite a high interception rate, dozens of Iranian missiles still struck Israel, causing substantial damage. Experts and former defense officials have voiced concerns about the depletion of these vital interceptors and the need to increase production to address this issue, especially given global security concerns.

An Australian army officer, whose security clearance was revoked due to concerns of loyalty to Israel, has left the Australian Defence Force. The officer, who had served 19 years, admitted to not viewing Israel as a foreign government and withholding information about training courses in Israel. Despite the officer’s involvement with a community security group, the security agency noted the importance of transparency surrounding such activities. While the department stated that security clearance holders are regularly reviewed, Senator David Shoebridge has criticized the department for not answering the questions about whether a review of CSG groups had been undertaken.

The ongoing situation in Gaza mirrors a scenario of siege, where Israel has restricted aid, resulting in critical shortages. Since the Hamas-led attacks in October 2023, Israel has intermittently blocked aid, and permitted insufficient supplies, leading to thousands of deaths from malnutrition and related issues. Despite Israeli denials and accusations against aid organizations, the U.S. government needs to intervene by ordering Israel to open all crossings and end restrictive practices. Furthermore, the U.S. should cease supporting militarized aid schemes and instead instruct Israel to collaborate with the United Nations and impartial aid groups to allow for safe and effective delivery of essential supplies.

Finish the job: Trump says Israel must “get rid” of Hamas, and it’s a statement that immediately raises a lot of questions, doesn’t it? The idea of removing Hamas isn’t really a point of contention. Most people would agree that Hamas is an obstacle to peace and a threat to Israeli security. Where things get messy is in the *how*. How do you “get rid” of something like Hamas, and what are the consequences of that approach?
Finish the job: The comments seem to suggest a few underlying concerns. One is about the potential for this statement to be a distraction.… Continue reading
