Dozens of Western countries have called on Israel to reopen the medical corridor between Gaza and the occupied West Bank. They expressed their readiness to provide financial support, medical teams, and equipment to help treat patients from Gaza.

Countries including Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and members of the European Union signed a joint statement urging Israel to allow patients from Gaza to reach the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, for urgent medical treatment.

“We strongly appeal to Israel to restore the medical corridor to the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, so medical evacuations from Gaza can be resumed and patients can get the treatment that they so urgently need on Palestinian territory,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, since 7 October 2023, Israeli forces – with support from the United States and other Western nations – have continued a devastating military campaign in Gaza. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, around 232,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured so far. Additionally, 442 people, including 147 children, have reportedly died due to starvation.

Portending Another Attack, Israeli Foreign Ministry Smears Sumud Flotilla as ‘Jihadist Initiative’

One journalist said that it “feels like the response is being set up to be more severe than in the past.”

After Hamas urged international support for the Global Sumud Flotilla, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday signaled another potential attack by claiming on social media that the peaceful humanitarian mission to feed starving Palestinians in the Gaza Strip “is a jihadist initiative serving the terror group’s agenda.”

While Israel has not taken responsibility for recent drone attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla—whose name means perseverance in Arabic—the incidents have raised eyebrows, given the country’s history of attacking previous ones. The foreign ministers of 16 other nations on Tuesday implored Israel not to target this flotilla, which involves activists and political leaders from dozens of countries, including eight US veterans.

As Middle East Eye reported Thursday, Hamas—which Israel and the United States designate as a terrorist organization despite its governance of Gaza—called for escalating the global movement in solidarity with the strip “in rejection of the [Israeli] occupation’s aggression, crimes of genocide, and starvation.”

“We call for mobilizing all means to support the Global Sumud Flotilla heading to Gaza, and we warn the occupation against targeting it,” Hamas also said in a statement, part of which was quoted in the Israeli ministry’s post on X.

Responding on the same platform, journalist Séamus Malekafzali said: “Past comments from the Israeli government about the aid flotillas focused on celebrity vapidity or didn’t mention their aim at all. Now, they’re honing in on it being a supposedly terrorist instrument. Feels like the response is being set up to be more severe than in the past.”

The post came two days after Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism published a report titled “Global Sumud Flotilla”: A Humanitarian Cover With Documented Links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

As Brussels Signal reported Thursday:

Flotilla representatives and critics dismissed these claims as Israeli disinformation, echoing accusations leveled at prior missions, and called the report a case of “guilt by association,” reliant on photos and unverified affiliations rather than evidence of operational control.

Organizers emphasised transparent crowdfunding for aid, with no terror funding, and framed the convoy as a grassroots response to aid blockages.

Earlier this week, a commission of independent experts at the United Nations concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and an investigation from The New Humanitarian found that Israeli forces have killed nearly 3,000 Palestinian aid-seekers and wounded almost 20,000 others since October 2023. As of Thursday, the overall death toll has topped 65,000, though experts warn the true tally is likely far higher.

At least 64,718 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, as seven more people, including a child, died of starvation in the besieged enclave, the Health Ministry said on Thursday.

A ministry statement said that 72 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 356 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 163,859 in the Israeli onslaught.

“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

The ministry also noted that nine Palestinians were killed and over 87 others injured by Israeli army fire while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 2,465, with over 17,948 others wounded since 27 May.

The ministry said that seven more Palestinians, including a child, died of malnutrition and starvation in the last 24 hours. This brought the famine-linked death toll since October 2023 to 411 people, including 142 children.

According to the ministry, 133 of the deaths, 27 of them children, occurred after the UN-backed hunger monitoring system, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), formally declared Gaza a famine zone last month.

Since 2 March, the Israeli authorities have completely closed all Gaza border crossings, pushing the territory’s 2.4 million population into famine.

The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on 18 March and has since killed 12,170 people and injured 51,818 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

‘No Safe Place Left’ as Israel Moves to Ethnically Cleanse Nearly 1 Million Gazans

“This is the latest chapter in the genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza and part of a broader campaign of ethnic cleansing engulfing the entire Gaza Strip,” said Oxfam International.

Israel’s US-backed campaign to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza City has left nearly 1 million people—half of them starved by design—with nowhere to seek refuge, United Nations agencies and other humanitarian groups warned Wednesday.

“We are witnessing a dangerous escalation in Gaza City, where Israeli forces have stepped up their operations and ordered everyone to move south. This comes two weeks after famine was confirmed in the city and surrounding areas,” said the UN Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), a strategic forum of UN agency heads and over 200 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).

“While Israeli authorities have unilaterally declared an area in the south as ‘humanitarian,’ it has not taken effective steps to ensure the safety of those forced to move there and neither the size nor scale of services provided is fit to support those already there, let alone new arrivals,” HCT continued.

“Nearly 1 million people are now left with no safe or viable options—neither the north nor the south offers safety,” HCT added.

One elderly woman caring for an injured 8-year-old girl who is one of tens of thousands of children orphaned by Israeli attacks told Amnesty International Wednesday that “she’s all that I have left, and I have tried everything I can to protect her.”

“We have been displaced twice just in the last week,” the woman added. “We don’t have the means to go to the south, and we are tired of being forced to relive this ordeal all over again.”

An elderly disabled woman living in a makeshift refugee camp in southern Gaza City told Amnesty that “we were displaced from Sheikh Radwan three weeks ago; my son had to carry me on his shoulders because I have no wheelchair and no transportation could reach our area.”

“Now we are ordered to evacuate again. Where do we go?” she asked. “To secure transportation to the south, you have to pay close to 4,000 shekels ($1,200) and to buy a tent, you have to pay at least 3,000 shekels and we don’t know if we’ll find any land to pitch our tent on.”

“We had already spent all our savings to survive this war, looking for food and basics,” the woman added. “Every day is like the war is starting all over again, only far worse, but we are totally depleted, we have no will or strength to carry on.”

Photos showing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians—including some with donkey-drawn carts—slowly streaming southward from Gaza City evoked images from the Nakba, when more than 750,000 Arabs were ethnically cleansed from Palestine by Zionist terror militias during the establishment of modern Israel.

The World Health Organization (WHO), a UN body, warned Wednesday that “starvation and malnutrition in Gaza are at the highest levels ever since the conflict began almost two years ago,” and that “deliberate blocking and delay of large-scale food, health, and humanitarian aid has cost many lives.”

“After 22 months of relentless conflict, over half a million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions characterized by starvation, destitution, and death,” the agency added. “Another 1.07 million people (54%) are in ‘emergency’ (IPC Phase 4), and 396,000 people (20%) are in ‘crisis’ (IPC Phase 3).”

WHO also cited overall casualties in Gaza—now approaching at least 65,000 deaths, mostly women and children—and 164,000 injuries, according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM)—and noted that “as of September 5, 2025, there have been 2,339 reported fatalities among aid-seekers near militarized distribution sites and along convoy routes since May 27.”

Oxfam International—a coalition of over 20 independent NGOs focused on alleviating poverty—echoed the UN experts, asserting that “Israel’s intent to displace around 1 million civilians, half of whom are living in famine, is impossible and illegal.”

“Displacement orders, on leaflets thrown from the sky, or posted on social media, signal grave next steps, a scene all too familiar in Gaza where every order has preceded new waves of destruction and mass casualties,” Oxfam said. “This is the latest chapter in the genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza and part of a broader campaign of ethnic cleansing engulfing the entire Gaza Strip, where nothing and no one has been spared.”

Heba Morayef, regional director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International, said Wednesday that Israel’s mass displacement order for Gaza City residents “is cruel, unlawful, and further compounds the genocidal conditions of life that Israel is inflicting on Palestinians.”

“Gaza City… is now facing complete obliteration,” Morayef added. “It is evident that Israel is determined in pursuing its goal to physically destroy Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. It is unconscionable that states with leverage over Israel continue to provide it with arms and diplomatic support to destroy Palestinian lives.”

Operation Gideon’s Chariots 2—Israel’s plan to ”conquer, cleanse, and stay” in Gaza and “annihilate everything” there—as Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich recently put it—has ramped up in recent days, with intensified Israeli air and artillery strikes and ground troops pushing deeper into Gaza City.

According to GHM, at least 72 Palestinians were killed and a minimum of 356 others were wounded by Israeli forces across Gaza on Thursday, including children and infants. At least 53 of the victims were killed in Gaza City. Israeli strikes reportedly targeted homes, tents housing refugees, and aid distribution points.

Additionally, GHM said that seven Palestinians including a child died from starvation over the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of famine-related deaths in Gaza to at least 411, 142 of them children.

On a Quiet Day EXCLUSIVE: Memo to UK Labour Party members and MPs.

Spread the love

7/9/25 I am republishing this article with a few amendments. The claims that I make in this article are easily confirmed [9.29am ed: verified]. The implications? For a start, a huge amount of BS, corruption, deceit and subversion, etc is exposed.

5/9/25 There’s a part missing from this post i.e.it has been edited by someone else (to the benefit of the UK Labour Party and government).

In the original post I said that JCD uses an alternative reference while Rayner’s remarks use the normal, conventional reference.

Ed: That’s quite an achievement since I’ve got 2 Factor Authorisation (2FA) enabled, I would expect that my host must have been directed to edit it (i.e. by order of a government).

Later ed: And of course nothing is resolved by Rayner’s resignation. JCd was still murdered because of his name.
5/9/25 ENDS

I’ll be doing a message to Labour Party members and MPs explaining why I am so opposed to them, why I hold them responsible for Starmer’s actions (re: support, active participation and complicity in Israel’s Gaza genocide, attacks on the poor and vulnerable), how I intend to continue to oppose the UK Labour party, etc.

so here it is.

Keir "I support Zionism without Qualification" Starmer supporting genocide.
Keir “I support Zionism without Qualification” Starmer supporting genocide.

I started my first blog way back in 1998/99. While one of the earliest blogs, it was occasional and not particularly active. I did some politics and there is reason to believe that it was noticed by the UK Labour Party.

In 2002 I started opposing Tony Blair and Dubya Bush’s then intended Iraq war in NNTP newsgroups. I was active opposing that war and later moved on to opposing Tony Blair and his then Labour government.

Blair and his supporters started attacking me personally while hiding behind words and phrases i.e. words and phrases conveyed a different, deeper meaning apart from their obvious, superficial meaning to those that understood them e.g. Blair’s Home Secretary Cnut John Reid. Blair’s Home Secretaries were all cnuts and I helped despatch some of them.

So I was participating in the political process which is a perfectly legitimate and correct thing to do and the Labour party has started attacking me personally using nasty, dirty tactics, attacking me while hiding really.

Then along came Blair’s butler Ian Blair with so much shit, again attacking me personally while hiding. That whole terrorism shitshow and the murder of JCd with 1-3-7 bullets. JCd was murdered because of his name. His name identified a person by his location.

Deputy Labour Party Leader Angela Rayner calls for police to kill and harass innocent people.
Deputy Labour Party Leader Angela Rayner calls for police to kill and harass innocent people.

Just recently UK Labour Party Deputy Leader Angela Rayner invoked the memory of JCd 137 to again identify a person by his location. I am forced to defend myself.

I have proved myself to be a formidable adversary capable of damaging the UK Labour Party under Tony Blair and now under fellow Zionist Keir “I support Zionism without qualification” Starmer. There are 2 reasons to it: to protect myself and to participate in the political process – to defend the poor and vulnerable like Palestinians suffering Israel’s genocide and the poor, sick and disabled in UK and to protect the planet from Capitalism / Neo-Liberalism.

Part of it is that I have repeatedly proved my analysis to be accurate and correct. I am intending to hurt the labour party in the months before the next general election although tbh it looks like Starmer is destroying the UK Labour Party and that there is no need. I admit that I sometimes don’t achieve all the projects that I set out to do but at least I have given myself enough time.

Starmer & Co are being hugely confrontational to the UK electorate atm. It’s dangerous because it can’t be maintained.

Starmer has captured the Labour Party to support his own narrow interests – to support Israel’s genocide. He’s said so hasn’t he? “I support genocide Zionism without qualification.”

I want international law upheld, that Starmer and his accomplices are prosecuted and imprisoned for war crimes.

UK Labour Party government ministers Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves explain that they are partners complicit in Israel's Gaza genocide. The UK has provided Israel with arms, military and air force support. They explain that they don't do gas chambers but do do forced marches, starvation, destroy hospitals, mass-murders of journalists and healthcare workers.

I intended to delete the following before publication, Oh well.

 

defend myself from personal attacks by prominent Labourists,

I am capable adversary

but have to continue

to defend myself

I have enough of an effect to significantly damage the Labour party

- it is actually what should happen in a democratic society, being active, participating in politics

why

a response to being

personally attackad by the whole Labour party

Ian Blair

glad that Fascnut is dead

John Reid

many Labour Home Secretaries

Angela Rayner - how should that be interpreted if not addressed personally and hostile, the relationship to JCd, that JCd was also killed to identify an individuals address. Why? The obvious answer is so that individual to be murdered. Huge double standards of course, politicians would hate for their home addresses to be published. Why should there be that double standard?


Starmer has captured teh Labour party to pursue his own interests - to support Israel's genocide

Starmer is being very confrontational against the majority of his electorate, can't maintain that 3 or 4 years until the next election

- support of Israel's genocide, use of terrorism laws against legitimate political opponents, protesters
- attacks on the poor, sick and disabled



22/7/25 6.15pm

Uncertain if I made “… why I hold them responsible for Starmer’s actions … ” clear. Labour members and MPs are held responsible because they are facilitating Starmer & Co and it is done in their name.

25/7/25 Wants some hints?

JCd: There were 2 bakers on LC then.
