Israeli voices are increasingly calling for a comprehensive deal with Hamas at this time, asserting that Tel Aviv's conditions for ending the war in Gaza are unrealistic, and the insistence on them is less about security and more about Benjamin Netanyahu's desire to achieve the alleged "victory image" that will not materialize.

Avi Shilon, a writer for Yedioth Ahronoth, mentioned that "when Menachem Begin was asked after the peace with Egypt why he succeeded where previous negotiations failed, he said it was 'the wisdom of timing.' While there may have been many reasons for signing the agreement, timing is indeed an important element in negotiations, whether for peace purposes or post-war settlements.

What is happening now lies in the fact that Israel has missed the right timing to offer a comprehensive deal with Hamas, because despite its collapse, or rather, precisely because it is collapsing, the movement has little to lose.

He added in an article translated by "Arabi21" that "it is now clear that Tel Aviv also wants to end the war, and that the United States is pressuring to end it, but its threat to occupy Gaza is weak because it is clear to all parties that even if the occupation of Gaza causes more harm to Hamas and the residents of Gaza, the price that Israel will pay in hostages and soldiers who will be killed, its image, international pressure, and the exhaustion of its society will be extremely high. Therefore, an absurd situation has arisen that enables the weaker party, Hamas, to set its own conditions for ending the war.

He clarified that "even if Israel had offered a comprehensive deal at an earlier stage, when the military and political balance of the movement would have genuinely allowed it to threaten and continue the war, it would have ended it much faster and forced the movement to relinquish power in return. However, the wisdom of timing was thwarted by political and party interests, which now compel the government to continue, while it is clear that it is no longer interested either.

He emphasized that "timing is not only a problem, but the Israeli demands are also partially unnecessary. It is true to insist that Hamas will not continue to rule, but the talk of exiling its leaders and insisting on a few hundred meters here and there is not really related to ensuring security, but rather to Netanyahu's desire to achieve the alleged victory image. The movement has a few hundred of its leaders from the second and third tiers, and exiling them from the devastated Gaza will not benefit Tel Aviv.

He explained that: "the current situation in the sector is enough for Israel to leave it, depriving it of money for reconstruction, but it insists on conditions related to the image, not security, despite its attempt to simulate the exile of Hamas leaders as a condition for the end, similar to what happened with the expulsion of members of the Palestine Liberation Organization, including Yasser Arafat, after Tel Aviv's siege of Beirut in the summer of 1982.

He pointed out that "militarily, the exile of those thousands was an achievement, but history proves that the organization re-established itself in its new location in Tunisia, until Israel eventually signed an agreement with it in Oslo in 1993, confirming that the solution is political, not military.

He affirmed that "the Israeli demonstrations during the war for a deal that frees the hostages were also full of mistakes; that deal should have been sought long ago, but the desire to stop the war in the name of saving them turned what should have been a clear consensus into a partisan political issue, allowing opponents to say that achieving security for the future is no less important, even though the demonstrations should have long focused on the claim that shortening the duration of the war serves the interests of Israelis, even without considering the issue of hostages.

The Danish Foreign Minister confirmed his country's support for suspending trade agreements with the occupation in order to end the aggression on Gaza.

The EU's foreign policy chief also indicated that EU countries have taken measures against the Israeli government.

She clarified that a military solution is not possible in Gaza, reflecting an increasing stance from European countries regarding the situation in the enclave.

The Global Resilience Fleet has completed its final preparations to set sail tomorrow, Sunday, with dozens of ships to break the Israeli blockade imposed on Gaza. The fleet consists of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the Global Gaza Movement, the Resilience Convoy, and the Malaysian organization 'Solidarity Nusantara.'

It includes thousands of activists from 44 countries and plans to depart from Spain on Sunday and from Tunisia on September 4. In this context, Anadolu interviewed the Turkish delegation coordinator in the global fleet, Hussein Durmaz, along with participating activists Hussein Shaib Ordu and Sumaira Akdeniz Ordu, to discuss the latest preparations and the goals of the fleet.

Durmaz stated that they are working day and night to prepare the ships for the journey, while simultaneously conducting training for participants on how to act during the mission. He added that the ships will set sail on August 31 to break the blockade imposed on Gaza.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reaffirmed that the top priority is an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the importance of the State of Palestine taking full responsibility for managing the sector with international support.

These statements came during a phone call he received from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who in turn confirmed his country's commitment to supporting the two-state solution.

During the call, President Abbas clearly outlined the priorities of the Palestinian side, chief among them being the "immediate ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip, which has been under aggression for nearly 23 months.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that 660,000 children in the Gaza Strip are out of school for the third consecutive year due to the ongoing genocide for the past 23 months.

UNRWA added in a statement, "The war in Gaza is a war on children and it must stop. Children must be protected at all times." It affirmed the right of children to learn, explaining that "660,000 children are out of school for the third consecutive year due to the war."

The agency continued: "In Gaza, children are at risk of becoming a lost generation." It called for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, allowing children to return to their schools and lives.

Sources in Gaza hospitals reported that the number of dead has risen to 50 Palestinians due to the fire of the occupation army since dawn today, with 26 of them killed in Gaza City.

Among the dead, there are 10 from the hungry who were searching for food, reflecting the catastrophic humanitarian situation faced by the residents of the besieged enclave.

Airstrikes and assaults by the occupation army on Palestinian areas continue, exacerbating the suffering of civilians and leading to more martyrs and injuries.

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated that the occupation is leveling entire neighborhoods in the city of Gaza to the ground under the weight of random bombardment and the use of explosive robots, in a campaign aimed at erasing the features of life there.

Since the beginning of August, the occupying army has intensified its attacks on the eastern areas of the city of Gaza in both the northern and southern axes, as part of its plans to reoccupy the sector starting with the city.

The human rights monitor added, in a video clip, that the occupying army is using "new tools in the ongoing genocide" against the sector for nearly 23 months.

The Israeli historian Fania Oz-Salzberger warned that Israel is threatened by internal collapse more than any external threat. She highlighted the sharp internal division in Israel between the "moderate and liberal" camp on one side, and the "far right" led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies on the other.

She clarified the goals of each camp, stating that the far-right seeks to occupy Gaza, displace Palestinians, and settle Jews in their place, and that they are driven by a religious ideology aiming to "build the temple." She added that this camp does not care about human costs or human values.

As for the second camp, the "secular moderates and liberals," they aim for a peaceful settlement in the "shared homeland of Israel/Palestine," and they are advocates of peace, but they are a silent minority. She believes that "the real Israel is not its current government, but its democratic civil society, which is the base of the second camp."

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday that the death toll due to the ongoing genocide perpetrated by the occupying state for nearly 23 months has risen to 63,371 dead and 159,835 injured.

The ministry stated in a daily statistical report that "66 dead (including 4 recovered bodies) and 345 injured arrived at hospitals in the sector during the past 24 hours" due to the continued Israeli attacks.

It confirmed the presence of a number of victims under the rubble and in the streets, where rescue and civil defense teams are unable to reach them so far due to a lack of equipment and the ongoing attacks.

The occupation army's radio reported on Saturday that 7 soldiers were injured on Friday evening by the explosion of a bomb targeting a "Namer" armored personnel carrier that was transporting them on the outskirts of Gaza City. The radio mentioned in a brief news report that "one of the soldiers is moderately injured and the others have minor injuries."

For its part, the Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" stated that the incident occurred in the Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City and "the injured soldiers were transferred to the hospital and their families were notified," while Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have not yet confirmed the targeting.

This comes at a time when the occupation army has intensified its airstrikes on neighborhoods in Gaza City since the dawn of Friday, coinciding with its declaration of the city as a "dangerous combat zone." On Friday evening, the Hebrew channel "i24 News" reported "fierce clashes in the outskirts of Gaza City, accompanied by airstrikes and heavy artillery shelling, amid reports of Israeli forces advancing in the area."

The international organization ActionAid warned of rising rates of malnutrition among pregnant and breastfeeding women in the Gaza Strip, confirming that 70 to 75% of the 300 women who visit Al-Awda Hospital, a partner of the organization, suffer from a lack of food and essential supplements for pregnancy.

ActionAid indicated that it received testimonies from doctors and pregnant women in the Gaza Strip about pregnancy complications resulting from hunger and a lack of medical supplies, following a week after the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification confirmed the occurrence of famine in the city of Gaza.

Dr. Yasser, a physician at Al-Awda Hospital, stated: Women are suffering from malnutrition, which is reflected in their low weights, low fetal weights, reduced fetal movement, and the deterioration of the health of both the mother and the fetus. There is anemia, calcium deficiency, and vitamin D deficiency, all of which negatively affect the health of the mother and the fetus.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh in the West Bank early on Saturday, carrying out a raid and arrests targeting a leader of the Islamic Jihad movement.

The forces were particularly concentrated around the Al-Am'ari refugee camp, leading to clashes with Palestinian youths.

Eyewitnesses reported that dozens of military vehicles of the occupation, reinforced by a bulldozer, advanced into the city of Al-Bireh from several directions, specifically in the Um al-Sharayet neighborhood.

Simultaneously, the forces imposed a cordon around the entrances to the Al-Am'ari refugee camp and positioned themselves in the surrounding streets, which restricted the movement of citizens and created a state of intense tension in the area.

The military operation focused on raiding several homes, where the occupation forces arrested the prominent leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Sheikh Yahya Al-Saadi, from his home in Al-Bireh after besieging it.

During the incursion and raid, violent clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and the occupation forces, which fired live ammunition, sound bombs, and tear gas heavily to disperse the protesters, with no serious injuries reported up to the time of preparing this report.

This operation comes within the context of the ongoing escalation campaign launched by the occupation army in various governorates of the West Bank, which includes almost daily incursions into cities, villages, and camps, aimed at carrying out arrests and demolishing homes, which repeatedly leads to clashes and the occurrence of martyrs and injuries among Palestinians.

Medical sources announced today, Saturday, the death of 10 citizens, including three children, due to starvation and malnutrition, recorded by hospitals in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.

The same sources reported that the total number of victims of starvation and malnutrition has risen to 332 martyrs, including 124 children.

Since the declaration of famine classification in the Gaza Strip by the IPC on August 22, 2023, 54 deaths have been recorded, including 9 children due to starvation.

An international classification of food insecurity, involving the United Nations, confirmed the occurrence of famine in the Gaza Governorate and predicted its spread to the Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis Governorates by the end of September.

The integrated food security classification stated that more than half a million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions, which is the fifth phase of the classification, characterized by severe hunger, death, deprivation, and extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition.

The classification noted that 1.07 million other people (54% of the population) are facing the fourth phase, which is the acute food insecurity 'emergency' phase.

396,000 people (20% of the population) are facing the third phase, which is the acute food insecurity 'crisis' phase.

The integrated food security classification is a global initiative that includes agencies from the United Nations, regional partners, and relief organizations, and it classifies food insecurity into five phases, with famine being the most severe, ranked fifth.

The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, expressed her lack of optimism regarding the possibility of imposing sanctions on the occupying state, noting the absence of consensus within the Union on this issue. She confirmed that the humanitarian situation in the besieged Gaza Strip has not significantly improved, and that the actions of Tel Aviv do not encourage positive steps.

In this context, several European leaders called on the occupying state to facilitate the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip and to resume payments to the Palestinian Authority, in addition to halting settlement projects in the occupied West Bank. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot indicated that failure to respond to these demands could lead the European Union to take restrictive measures.

Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares announced that his country is presenting an action plan to the European Union that includes imposing an arms export ban and expanding the list of sanctions against the occupying state. He called for a complete suspension of the European agreement with Tel Aviv, emphasizing that the relationship must be based on respect for human rights.

Dutch Foreign Minister Kaspar Vilkcamp pointed out that the Netherlands and Sweden have requested the EU to pressure the occupying state and Hamas to reach an agreement in Gaza. He confirmed that the expansion of settlement policy by the occupying state necessitates a change in European positions.

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris stated that the time has come for the European Union to act collectively and impose sanctions on the occupying state, noting that there is evidence of genocide occurring in Gaza.

Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger confirmed that her country is seeking to take concrete actions against extremist settlers in the occupying state, pointing to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that requires urgent intervention.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen announced his country's readiness to impose sanctions on ministers in Netanyahu's government, accusing the government of shirking its responsibilities. Meanwhile, Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon confirmed that her country is taking measures against the occupying state, including preventing ministers from entering.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide called for strong support for building a Palestinian state and ending the war, emphasizing the importance of delivering aid and pressuring the occupying state. This comes at a time when the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is escalating, where the occupying state has committed massacres since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of more than 63,000 Palestinians.

The United States has sparked widespread European outrage after its decision to deny Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and a delegation of about 80 officials from the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization entry visas to attend the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York next month. This decision comes at a sensitive time as France prepares to raise the issue of recognizing the State of Palestine for discussion.

The U.S. State Department justified its decision by citing "security and political concerns," noting that the decision does not include members of the Palestinian permanent mission to the United Nations. However, this decision has raised questions about freedom of access to the international organization's headquarters.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian strongly condemned this decision during a press conference in Copenhagen, emphasizing that "the United Nations headquarters is a neutral place in the service of peace," stressing that access to the organization "cannot be subject to any restrictions whatsoever."

On the other hand, Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Xavier Bettel joined the French stance, expressing his outrage at the U.S. decision and suggesting holding a special session of the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva to ensure the Palestinian delegation's attendance. He stated, "We must be able to have discussions among ourselves, and it cannot simply be said that we will exclude Palestine from the dialogue."

This escalation comes just weeks before the annual session of the General Assembly, complicating the political situation in the region. This move by the United States is seen as a challenge to European efforts aimed at promoting dialogue with the Palestinians.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the United States' refusal to grant entry visas to officials of the Palestinian National Authority, emphasizing that this decision contradicts the fundamental principles of peace and international cooperation.

Barrot's statements came during a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Copenhagen, where he highlighted the importance of free access to the United Nations headquarters in New York, which should be available to all member states.

Barrot affirmed that any restrictions on attendance at the United Nations General Assembly constitute a violation of the rights of member states, and that France will continue to support the rights of Palestinians to express their views in international forums.

This French position comes at a sensitive time, as the Palestinian Authority seeks to enhance its presence on the international stage, especially in light of the challenges it faces from Israeli occupation.

Barrot also called on EU member states to take a unified stance to support the rights of Palestinians and ensure that they are not subjected to any discrimination in international forums.

Israeli analysts have described Benjamin Netanyahu's government as a real threat to Israel's future. In discussions held on Israeli channels, it was noted that there is a conflict between the political level, which seeks to continue the war, and the military level, which prefers to move towards accepting a deal with the Palestinian resistance.

Former Israeli National Security Council head, Eyal Hulata, expressed his concern over Netanyahu's escalation of the fighting in Gaza, pointing out that this could hinder the possibility of reaching understandings for the release of hostages. He emphasized that he does not understand the goal of the current military operation, noting that Hamas will not surrender easily.

Yair Golan, head of the "Democrats" party and former deputy chief of staff, added that the military operation in Gaza is pointless from a military perspective, stressing the need to release prisoners and end the war as soon as possible. He also called for the establishment of an alternative governing body to Hamas in the sector.

Matanyahu Pnini, deputy defense minister and former deputy chief of staff, considered that the real danger to Israel is Netanyahu's government, pointing out that its officials are among the most extreme in the history of the occupying state, and represent only a tiny fraction of the Israeli population.

The military affairs correspondent for Channel 12, Yaron Abraham, noted that there is concern within the security agencies about the length of negotiations regarding "the day after" the aggression ends, as the political level has been warned about this matter.

Security leaders feel that Netanyahu and Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, are imposing isolation on them, which has been expressed in closed discussions. This situation reflects a lack of trust between the political and military levels.

In a related context, Ruby Hain, the father of one of the Israeli captives in Gaza, criticized the Israeli government for not bothering to discuss Hamas's response to the proposed suggestions, reflecting a state of chaos and lack of coordination in dealing with the crisis.

22 citizens were killed and dozens were injured today, Saturday, in the occupation's shelling of various areas in the Gaza Strip, with the bombardment particularly concentrated in the city.

Local sources reported that the Israeli occupation forces fired directly at those waiting for aid south of the Wadi Gaza area in the center of the Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 5 citizens and injuries to others.

The sources also added that rescue and civil defense teams managed to recover the bodies of 3 dead following the occupation's shelling of a house in the Nuseirat camp during the early hours of dawn.

Medical sources in the Strip's hospitals stated that 8 dead arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital, 7 martyrs at Al-Awda Hospital, 5 martyrs at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and two at Nasser Hospital.

This escalation in aggression comes at a time when the besieged residents of the Gaza Strip are suffering from difficult humanitarian conditions, as the need for humanitarian aid increases amid ongoing assaults.

In a significant diplomatic move, Dutch Foreign Minister Kaspar Veldkamp announced that the Netherlands will lead an initiative within the European Union to impose a ban on the import of products from settlements in the occupied West Bank. This step is part of a joint Dutch-Swedish effort to increase pressure on the occupying state and Hamas to reach an agreement that ends the war in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Minister Veldkamp revealed his government's intention to present a concrete proposal to the European Union aimed at preventing the entry of products manufactured in illegal settlements into European markets. He clearly stated: "We will propose a ban on the import of settlement products from the West Bank," representing a direct economic measure against settlement policy.

The Dutch Foreign Minister justified this shift in his country's policy as a necessary reaction to Israeli actions on the ground. He emphasized that the continued expansion of settlement policy by the occupying government cannot be met with traditional European positions of mere condemnations and statements.

This Dutch-Swedish initiative comes within the context of a broader diplomatic movement, as a joint message was sent to the EU's foreign policy commissioner. The Dutch minister explained: "We, along with Sweden, requested in a letter to the EU to pressure the occupation and Hamas to reach an agreement."

This initiative aims to urge Brussels to use its political and economic weight more effectively to push both parties towards a ceasefire, the exchange of detainees, and a return to a serious political track. This move reflects a growing conviction among several European capitals that the policy of diplomatic containment is no longer sufficient.

This initiative joins the positions of other European countries such as Spain, Ireland, and Belgium, which are calling for a firmer European policy towards the crisis. This new direction may contribute to changing the political dynamics in the region and reflects an increasing desire to confront the occupation.

The history of Jewish immigration to occupied Palestine dates back to the late 19th century, as part of a political project prepared by the Zionist movement. The immigration was not merely a geographical transition; it aimed to establish a national homeland for the Jews, leading to profound demographic changes in the region.

Recently, there has been a noticeable decline in the number of Jewish immigrants, with 2023 recording a drop in the number of new immigrants to about 46,000, after numbers peaked in 2022 due to the Russian-Ukrainian war.

While Israel has welcomed over 3.4 million immigrants since 1948, recent data indicates that reverse immigration is increasing, with more than 82,000 people leaving the country in 2024, reflecting a clear imbalance in migration.

Efforts by Zionist institutions to promote immigration continue, as the Jewish Agency and the 'Nefesh B'Nefesh' organization work to encourage Jews in the diaspora to immigrate to occupied Palestine, while presenting distorted narratives about Palestinians.

New immigrants arrive burdened with preconceived ideologies, where occupied Palestine is portrayed as a safe haven for them, while Palestinians are viewed as security threats. This mindset reinforces the idea of settlement and makes immigration an act of colonialism.

Statistics show that most new immigrants come from former Soviet Union countries, while the numbers of immigrants from the United States and France have declined. This geographical distribution reflects a continued reliance on certain sources of immigration.

The decline in Jewish immigration poses significant challenges to the Zionist narrative that links immigration to survival, highlighting the fragility of the Israeli demographic project.

Distorted narratives promoted by Zionist institutions must be confronted by highlighting the authentic Palestinian narrative that affirms the rights of Palestinians to their land and dismantling colonial narratives aimed at their exclusion.

Local sources reported fierce clashes in the outskirts of Gaza City, accompanied by intense airstrikes and artillery shelling by the occupying army. These events come at a sensitive time, as reports of Israeli forces advancing in the area increase, heightening tensions.

Media activists on social media platforms circulated news of a series of difficult security incidents within the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths of several Israeli soldiers. Among these incidents, an ambush was reported in the Zeitoun neighborhood, raising significant concern within the occupying army.

Political fears within the occupying state are growing regarding the possibility of four Israeli soldiers being captured by Palestinian factions. It has been indicated that the Israeli army activated the Hannibal Protocol, which allows for the use of heavy weaponry in the event of soldiers being captured, reflecting the level of tension and danger faced by the occupation.

At the same time, a video showed intensive flying of Israeli helicopters over Gaza, along with sounds of clashes that reflect the escalating situation. No official comment has been issued by the occupying army or the armed Palestinian factions regarding these events so far.

These developments come hours after the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida, threatened the occupying state with paying the price for its plan to occupy Gaza City with the blood of its soldiers. Abu Obeida confirmed that the Israeli captives would remain with Al-Qassam fighters in combat areas, complicating the situation further.

Human rights reports estimate that there are about 50 Israeli captives in Gaza, of whom 20 are alive, while more than 10,800 Palestinians are imprisoned in the occupation's jails, suffering from harsh conditions, raising concerns about human rights in the region.

Since the early hours of Friday morning, the occupying army has intensified its airstrikes on neighborhoods in Gaza City, declaring the city a dangerous combat zone. These strikes come in the context of the ongoing aggression launched by the occupying state since October 7, which has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians.

In a serious development that reflects the magnitude of the crisis faced by the Israeli occupation army in the Gaza Strip, the military censorship of the occupation has imposed a comprehensive ban on publishing any information related to the case of the four soldiers who lost contact during the violent clashes in the Zeitoun neighborhood. This ban comes after a heated night that witnessed the death of one Israeli soldier and the injury of 11 others.

Hebrew media sources confirmed that the announced toll of the security incident in the Zeitoun neighborhood is the death of one soldier and the injury of 11 others with varying degrees of wounds. Despite being allowed to publish this information, military censorship issued a strict order to all Hebrew media to completely refrain from publishing any details or speculations regarding the fate of the four missing soldiers.

The publication ban measures are considered a media and military tactic employed by the occupation in sensitive security cases, especially when there is strong suspicion that soldiers may have been captured. This measure aims to prevent the resistance from achieving a media victory, control the narrative, and manage domestic public opinion.

This ban comes at a sensitive time as pressure on the occupation government increases due to losses within the occupation army. The imposition of this ban indicates that the occupation army is treating the issue of the missing soldiers with the utmost seriousness, reinforcing hypotheses that suggest the possibility of them being caught in a well-planned ambush by the Palestinian resistance.

It is known that the occupation army adopts multiple strategies to deal with crises, and the publication ban is one of the tools it uses to control information and prevent the spread of rumors. This tactic also reflects concern over popular reactions within Israeli society.

In a related context, a leader in Hamas confirmed that their fighters are competing in the championship throughout Gaza, reflecting confidence in victory despite military pressures. These statements come at a time when the occupation army is under significant pressure due to the losses it has sustained.

In a notable field development, occupation warplanes launched a series of airstrikes targeting areas in the northwest of Gaza City early Saturday. This bombardment resulted in the sound of violent explosions heard in various parts of the city, causing a state of tension and anxiety among the residents.

Eyewitnesses and local sources reported that the occupation aircraft flew intensively over the sector before carrying out several consecutive strikes. The bombardment focused on areas that include agricultural lands and sites believed to belong to Palestinian factions, but the exact nature of the targeted objectives remains unclear.

Ambulance and civil defense teams rushed to the targeted areas to assess the situation and search for any potential injuries. However, information about the extent of material damage or human losses resulting from this bombardment is still scarce.

Health and field authorities are working to update data continuously as it becomes available, amid a state of anticipation in the sector. This airstrike comes amid a rising tension that the region has been experiencing in recent hours.

The military movements of the occupation come at a sensitive time, as the escalation in Gaza continues, increasing the residents' fears of a deterioration in the humanitarian situation in the besieged sector.

The Palestinian presidency expressed its deep regret and astonishment on Friday regarding the U.S. State Department's decision to deny entry visas to the Palestinian delegation participating in the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meetings scheduled for September. The presidency affirmed that this decision constitutes a blatant violation of international law.

In a press statement, the presidency noted that the State of Palestine holds the status of "observer member" in the United Nations, which grants its delegations the right to participate in all its activities and meetings. It called on the U.S. administration to reconsider and retract its decision, warning that preventing the Palestinian delegation from participating harms the standing of the United Nations.

The Palestinian presidency also reaffirmed its commitment to international law and international legitimacy resolutions, indicating that President Mahmoud Abbas has informed world leaders, including the U.S. president, of Palestine's steadfast position regarding achieving just and comprehensive peace.

In the same context, the U.S. State Department announced the rejection and cancellation of entry visas for several members of the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which may prevent President Mahmoud Abbas from participating in the United Nations General Assembly meetings next month.

The Israeli channel "Kan" reported that the U.S. government will prevent the entry of the President of the Palestinian Authority, noting that the decision came in response to what it described as "the Palestinian Authority's attempts to bypass negotiations" by resorting to international legal avenues.

The U.S. State Department clarified that these moves have complicated efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and raised concerns about Hamas's stance on the release of detainees.

The Deputy Spokesperson for the U.S. State Department also indicated that the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization would not be reliable partners for peace unless they renounce terrorism and cease their pursuit of a unilateral Palestinian state.

The U.S. decision comes at a sensitive time, as the United Nations General Assembly is set to convene soon, where the Palestinian presidency has traditionally delivered a speech at the annual opening session.

The United States announced its decision to deny senior officials in the Palestinian Authority, including President Mahmoud Abbas, visas to enter the country. This decision comes as part of an attempt to prevent them from attending the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, which has raised the astonishment of the Palestinian Foreign Ministry.

In a statement, the U.S. State Department confirmed that Secretary Marco Rubio made this decision as part of a policy aimed at holding the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority accountable for what it described as failing to meet their commitments and undermining peace prospects. It also accused the Palestinians of waging a "legal war" by resorting to the International Criminal Court.

For its part, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry expressed its astonishment at this decision, noting that it violates the UN Headquarters Agreement. The ministry called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council to take responsibility for this violation.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry also added that Washington's decision will not succeed in thwarting international recognition of the State of Palestine, and called for diplomatic and legal solutions to ensure the participation of the Palestinian delegation in the General Assembly meetings.

Under the agreement between the United Nations and the United States, Washington is not entitled to refuse to grant visas to officials heading to the organization. This raises questions about the United States' commitment to international laws.

In a related context, Tel Aviv expressed its gratitude to the United States for this decision, with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar describing it as a response to the legal war against Israel. Sa'ar praised the step taken by the U.S. administration.

It is worth noting that several countries, including France, intend to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting in September, amid the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and its efforts to annex the occupied West Bank.

In a speech of challenge and warning, Abu Obeida, the military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that any attempt by the occupation army to invade the Gaza Strip would be detrimental to its political and military leadership. He emphasized that the resistance is ready to teach the invading forces harsh lessons.

These statements come in response to escalating threats of a potential large-scale ground operation in the sector, where Abu Obeida indicated that the Al-Qassam fighters are at the highest levels of readiness and alertness to confront any aggression.

Abu Obeida warned that the occupation's criminal plans to occupy Gaza would be detrimental to its political and military leadership, considering that the decision to engage in a ground battle would have severe strategic repercussions for the decision-makers in the occupation.

He also pointed out that the resistance has prepared itself for the scenario of a ground invasion, and that the land would be a stage for fierce and unexpected resistance, reflecting the readiness of the resistance to face any escalation.

In a direct threat, Abu Obeida confirmed that the price of any attempt to occupy Gaza would be high, not only in terms of loss of life but also with the possibility of repeating capture operations, which would increase pressure on the occupation army.

Abu Obeida sent messages of reassurance to the Palestinian interior and messages of deterrence to the outside, affirming the high morale of his fighters, stating: "Our fighters are in a state of alertness and readiness with high morale, and they will present exemplary models of heroism and valor."

He concluded his statements by affirming that the Al-Qassam fighters would teach the invaders harsh lessons with God's help, indicating that any ground force that penetrates will face fierce and innovative resistance.

Seven citizens were killed in an airstrike carried out by Israeli occupation forces on the city of Gaza this Friday evening, as warplanes targeted populated areas.

According to local sources, the first strike targeted a tent housing displaced persons in the Al-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza, resulting in the death of four citizens in this treacherous attack.

In another attack, occupation aircraft targeted a group of citizens in the vicinity of the Al-Fukhari area on Al-Wahda Street in Gaza City, leading to the death of three more citizens.

These assaults come at a time when residents of the besieged Gaza Strip are suffering from dire humanitarian conditions, with an increasing need for international protection and pressure on the occupation to stop these attacks.

Occupation forces continue to target civilians in Gaza, raising concerns in the international community and necessitating urgent action to protect human rights in the Palestinian territories.

Adnan Abu Hasna, the media advisor to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), warned that the Israeli aggression on the city of Gaza could result in thousands of Palestinians being killed or injured, amid deteriorating humanitarian conditions. He pointed out that the occupying army has already begun preliminary operations for an attack on the city, raising significant concerns about the worsening situation.

The Israeli occupying army announced the start of military operations on the outskirts of Gaza City, where it recently advanced into the neighborhoods of Al-Zeitoun and Al-Sabra under the cover of devastating bombardment. This incursion increases concerns about the fate of civilians in the city, as many have been unable to flee to safer areas.

Abu Hasna clarified that the advance of the occupying forces towards the heart of Gaza City will lead to real disasters, noting that thousands of families have been unable to evacuate to the south, increasing their risk of being subjected to assaults. He pointed out that the health sector in Gaza, including UNRWA services, could be completely disrupted due to the Israeli incursions.

While the occupying army claims it will establish points to receive displaced persons, Abu Hasna confirmed that these designated areas lack the necessary infrastructure to accommodate one million Palestinians, threatening to exacerbate the humanitarian situation.

Abu Hasna indicated that Gaza City is suffering from a severe food crisis, with half a million people living in hunger, in addition to hundreds of thousands of sick individuals. He mentioned that the water consumed by the residents is completely contaminated, further increasing their suffering.

In a related context, the food security phase classification indicated that famine is spreading in the Gaza governorate, with expectations of its extension to other areas such as Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis. This situation requires urgent intervention to stop the famine in Gaza at any cost.

On another note, an UNRWA official confirmed that the occupying army is carrying out unprecedented destruction operations in Gaza City, having destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in recent days. These operations contribute to worsening humanitarian conditions and increase the suffering of the population.

Dr. Munir Al-Barsh, the director general of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, also noted that the occupation uses between 7 to 10 explosive drones daily in the city, increasing the risk of bombardment and leading to further destruction.
