UN agency says ‘entire humanitarian system is collapsing’ as ceasefire talks fail. Plus, South Park creators ‘terribly sorry’ about naked Donald Trump
Hello and apologies for the delay.
The head of the main UN agency serving Palestinians has said his frontline staff are fainting from hunger, as the number of people dying of starvation in Gaza continues to rise and hopes for a ceasefire fade amid collapsed negotiations.
What else is happening? France will recognise a Palestinian state in September at the UN general assembly, Emmanuel Macron has said. The French president announced the decision on X yesterday evening, saying he hoped it would bring peace to the region.
Why else is Gaza in the news? A group of far-right Israeli politicians and settlers met in parliament this week to discuss a plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza, annex the territory and turn it into a hi-tech, luxury resort city for Israelis.
Who else reportedly features in the album? Nearly 50 people wrote to Epstein, the Wall Street Journal claims. They reportedly include the billionaire investor Leon Black, the fashion designer Vera Wang, the billionaire former Victoria’s Secret owner Les Wexner and the attorney Alan Dershowitz.
