· Diplomatic Shift: France leads a group of six nations in recognizing Palestinian statehood, a move hailed as "historic" but met with political threats from some quarters.
· Deepening Crisis: Gaza's Health Ministry warns hospitals are days from shutting down due to fuel shortages, leading to "certain death" for patients.

LATEST FROM GAZA: ESCALATING VIOLENCE AND HUMANITARIAN CATASTROPHE

· Intensified Assault: Israeli terror attacks have intensified, with huge plumes of smoke rising over Gaza City. Ground forces are advancing, resulting in at least 22 fatalities reported since this morning.
· Healthcare System Targeted: The main medical centre in Gaza City has been completely destroyed by Israeli shelling, injuring at least two medics. This follows official reports that 1,723 healthcare workers have been killed and 38 hospitals attacked since the genocide began in October 2023.
· Fuel Crisis Critical: The Health Ministry has issued a dire warning that vital hospital departments will be forced to close within "a few days" due to a lack of fuel, a situation that will lead to "certain death" for patients. The blockade has caused a crippling fuel shortage, forcing residents to use toxic alternatives or travel on foot.
· Starvation Deaths: A medical source reports that three more children have starved to death in Gaza, highlighting the severe humanitarian collapse.

DIPLOMATIC DEVELOPMENTS

· Recognition of Palestine: The leaders of six countries, including France, have moved to recognize Palestinian statehood ahead of the UN General Assembly. Palestine's ambassador to France called the decision "courageous" and urged other nations to follow.
· International Isolation: Analysts suggest this diplomatic push "highlights Israel’s international isolation." However, the move faces potential backlash, with Australia's opposition leader, Sussan Ley, stating her party would reverse recognition if they come to power.
· US Trap (Probably Israel might bomb another country): The White House announced that President Trump will hold a meeting with leaders from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkiye, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Reports indicate he will present a new proposal for peace and post-war governance in Gaza.

In New York, police halted French President Emmanuel Macron’s convoy to make way for Donald Trump.

Later, Macron phoned Trump and, in a lighthearted tone, asked him to "clear the way."
