Israeli attacks kill at least 51 as Trump signals progress in Gaza talks

According to medical sources, at least 51 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli attacks, including 14 Palestinians who were waiting nearby aid distribution centers, despite Donald Trump’s assertion that “great progress” was being made to put an end to the conflict.

At least nine Palestinians were killed and several others were hurt early on Wednesday while waiting for medical assistance near Netzarim Junction in central Gaza, according to sources at al-Awda and al-Aqsa Martyrs hospitals in Gaza.

The controversial Israel- and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) established a recent wave of violence close to aid distribution points late last month.

Aid organizations and the UN have harshly criticized the GHF, who claim that it uses food as a weapon to support Israel’s military operations and cannot meet the needs of the population.

According to Hani Mahmoud, a reporter for Al Jazeera from Gaza City, aid distribution centers run by GHF are typically set up very close to Israeli forces, with their tanks, armored vehicles, and nearby snipers.

He claimed that when large crowds assemble, they are vulnerable to Israeli fire.

People are only given 20-minute window passes to access available goods, such as food parcels, at the aid centers, disturbingly. Shooting frequently begins after that 20-minute break. One of the causes of the high death toll rates at these centers is because of it, he continued.

The GHF, which entered Palestinian territory at the end of May, is being under increasing pressure to investigate the attacks. The organization, however, denies that it is accountable.

Israel has claimed that the approach of “suspects” toward soldiers has caused previous shootings to occur close to GHF aid sites.

Without any prior notice, Deir el-Balah home hit

In addition to the deaths reported in the central Gazan town of Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Mahmoud reported five other fatalities in the bombing of a home.

A bomb dropped there instantly killed five family members. In the Nuseirat refugee camp, he claimed, three additional family members had died.

When Israeli forces attacked a shelter in Gaza City overnight, resident Ramzi Khaled, who was standing close to the building that was housing displaced people, said: “Suddenly, without any prior notice, people who are staying and living in a shelter that is al-Shawwa [fuel] station…

“The ceiling fell to the ground,” the statement read. They are all fragments. There were roughly 12 people in this building, all completely unharmed. He continued, “We retrieved what we could, three people who were in pieces, and now we are trying to retrieve some, a martyr, and the others who are under the rubble.”

According to the Gaza-based Ministry of Health, Israel’s war on Gaza has resulted in the deaths of at least 56, 077 people, and 848 others.

During the October 7 attacks, an estimated 1, 139 people died in Israel, and more than 200 were taken prisoner.

Israeli soldiers were killed.

Seven soldiers were killed in combat in Gaza on Tuesday, according to Israel’s military, as it continues its assault.

Six of them were given public names by the military, but one was kept secret because the family of the seventh soldier had not yet been informed of his passing.

According to the military, those who were killed ranged in age from 19 to 21. The 605th Combat Engineering Battalion had a total of six members.

According to the military, an eighth soldier from the same unit was seriously hurt and taken to Israel for treatment.

Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, declared today to be “a very difficult day for the people of Israel.”

Trump praises “great progress.”

There are indications that diplomatic efforts to end the conflict are picking up as the conflict in Gaza gets going.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the prime minister of Qatar, stated on Tuesday that Hamas and Israel might engage in indirect negotiations.

Talks with mediator nations “in recent hours” have “intensified in recent hours,” a senior Hamas official told the AFP news agency on Wednesday.

According to Taher al-Nunu, “our communications with the brother mediators in Egypt and Qatar have not stopped and have increased in recent hours.” The group also stated that it has “not yet received any new proposals” to put an end to the conflict that is now in its 21st month.

Trump, who is currently attending a NATO summit in The Hague, added that “great progress” was being made in putting an end to the Gaza conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Trump remarked that “I think Gaza is very close” to reaching a peace agreement and that “we made great progress because of this attack that we made.” He also suggested that US strikes on Iran might have a positive impact on the Middle East.

Many Israelis are also questioning the wisdom of continuing the conflict in Gaza, according to Yossi Mekelberg, a senior consulting fellow at Chatham House in London.

Trump is more well-known in Israel right now than Netanyahu, he claimed, referring to the US president’s efforts to end the conflict between Israel and Iran.

He noted that Israelis are hoping that Trump will succeed in releasing the remaining prisoners from Gaza as quickly as Netanyahu.

They are aware that Netanyahu is attempting to keep his coalition in place by continuing the conflict in Gaza, he said.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis breaks silence on Kneecap controversy

Following their pro-Palestine remarks at Coachella, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he didn’t believe it was “appropriate” for Irish band Kneecap to play at Glastonbury.

Glastonbury boss Emily Eavis has broken her silence surrounding controversial Irish band Kneecap. The group from Belfast hit the headlines after making pro-Palestine comments at Coachella in April after band member, Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was charged with a terror offence for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a London gig in November.

Though Liam has been released on bail, Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, said it was “not appropriate” for the Guilty Conscience stars to perform at Glastonbury on the West Holts Stage at 4pm on Saturday. However, giving her opinion on the divisive band, Emily, said “everyone is welcome”.

Talking to the BBC as the festival flung open its doors to thousands of revellers today, she was asked: “You are very used to people picking over every aspect of the lineup but the Prime Minister got involved this time, saying it wasn’t appropriate for Kneecap to be playing, how have you responded to that?”

Emily responded, “We haven’t responded to that.” We’re just trying to bring the best festival to those who want to visit right now. We have millions of visitors and are incredibly fortunate that there are so many people who want to attend Glastonbury.

However, she was then questioned about her reaction to the statement, “But it’s quite a thing for the Prime Minister to comment. What did you think?”

Continue reading the article.

Looking somewhat irritated, Emily said: “I know, it is, there have been a lot of really heated topics this year, but we remain a platform for many, many artists from all over the world and, you know, everyone is welcome here.”

Kneecap reacted to the Prime Minister’s comments on social media by saying, “You know what’s “not appropriate” Keir? armed with a f*****g genocide… solidarity with [Palestinian Action].

Irvine Welsh, a novelist for Trainspotting, also criticized the prime minister for “absolutely embarrassment.”

Three young musicians from Derry and West Belfast are bringing this up to our attention in a new essay published by The Face, Irvine wrote.

“It really is just an embarrassment to us all when all the British state can do is persecute a band for this, to try to stop them from playing music and from touring internationally with these ridiculous, nonsensical charges,” the statement reads.

“A total embarrassment,” You feel embarrassed that you are trying to silence these voices because you are breathing the same air as those who do this.

Liam g hAnnaidh, a bandmate of Kneecap, is accused of raising a flag in front of a crowd that suggested he might be supporting Hezbollah, a group that is listed as prohibited. In a sarcastic post on X, Kneecap criticized the case against their bandmate as a “witch hunt.”

A billboard with the headline “Mo Chara]Liam’s stage name” was displayed earlier this month in striking images outside Westminster Magistrate’s Court.

Due to the delay in the terror charge case until August 20, the Kneecap star has been freed on bail.

Jeff Bezos wedding: Ivanka Trump among ultra-wealthy A-Listers arriving for $48m celebration

Ivanka Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump, and Jared Kushner, the husband of Jeff Bezos, the couple’s $48 million wedding to Lauren Sanchez, were in Venice.

Ivanka Trump was among the super wealthy guests arriving for Jeff Bezos’ $48million wedding to Lauren Sanchez. Threats of protests from activists aren’t stopping the A-list stars from attending the billionaire’s nuptials in Venice, Italy, this week.

Protesters with Greenpeace and the UK-based activist group Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) are braced to express their fury at the extravagant affair, which will see 200 guests enjoy a pre-wedding gala dinner tonight and then several other festivities across three days.

Jeff, 61, already had to change plans as Venice residents have threatened to blockade the city’s historic canals with inflatable crocodiles.

The billionaire “will shut down Venice,” according to Mr. Bezos, has moved the ceremony from the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a vast, fortress-like complex of shipyards and warehouses that were once used to build Venetian warships.

Ivanka, Donald Trump’s daughter, and her husband Jared Kushner were seen leaving the city to celebrate the lavish event amid the chaos.

Following a day of sightseeing, Ivanka arrived by boat wearing a green dress and a canvas sunhat. Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick, and Theodore James, the couple’s three children, were present for the holiday.

Among the early arrivals was Jeff’s adoptive father Miguel Bezos. Other members of the Trump family are said to be among the 200 guests as well as Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian.

Since he has been dating Miss Sánchez, a news reporter, for about seven years, Jeff is determined that his wedding will go ahead without any further complications.

The 200 guests who will be attending Thursday’s dinner on San Giovanni Evangelista are unlikely to encounter any difficulties once they have arrived. The island’s only residence is a modest five-bedroom home, which was formerly a convent guesthouse and was a part of a long-destroyed monastery complex. It is the only one there is.

However, EHE and Greenpeace protesters erected a massive 20x20m message close to the site where the Amazon founder is scheduled to marry his partner on mainland Venice, where the majority of the guests will be staying.

In St. Mark’s Square, the city’s famous street, reads, “If You Can Rent a Venetian For Your Wedding, You Can Pay More TAX.” The organizations claim that Mr. Bezos, a father of four, is the second-richest man in the world despite reporting a 1.1% true tax rate.

Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down a city for days on end just to get married, according to a spokesperson for EHE. He spent millions on an 11-minute space trip just a few weeks ago. This is the one thing that billionaires like Bezos should pay their wealth taxes if there ever was one.

There are more billionaires than ever in the world, despite the struggles of the average person to pay their bills. These two things are undoubtedly related because we are paying a premium for them. Tax billionaires like Jeff Bezos are now doing it, not rocket science.

Louise Thompson finally reveals her true feelings about Sam’s ex Zara McDermott

Before splitting up, Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott dated for five years before moving on. The Love Island star moved on from Louis Tomlinson in December of last year.

Louise Thompson finally reveals what she really feels about Zara McDermott, Sam’s ex-girlfriend.

Louise Thompson has finally shared what she thinks about her brother Sam Thompson’s ex-girlfriend, Zara McDermott. The couple dated for five years before going their separate ways in December last year, with the Love Island star moving on with One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson.

While Louise, a former Made in Chelsea star, and documentary maker Zara were still dating Sam. She then responded to claims that she “disliked” Zara after making a comment about wanting him to date someone she could get along with on a recent episode of Sam’s Staying Relevant podcast.

Louise stated in the episode that first aired earlier this week, “I’d love for you to try dating someone with a regular job that’s outside of the media space. That might be exciting, in my opinion…

Who will talk to you back and not let you get away with everything, according to the saying, “You definitely need someone who slightly places you in your place.”

She continued, “If you’re going to choose the famous route, you might as well find someone to get along with.” Before suggesting that he date Emma Watson, I’m thinking young British actress.

Some people claimed Zara was the subject of the comment, and one commenter claimed Louise “didn’t like Zara very much.”

I don’t believe Louise ever liked Zara, the user said, “Don’t blame her.” However, Louise responded and quickly shut down the comment, saying, “I have to interject here. I adored Zara a lot.

Sam recently said he ‘panicked’ ahead of possible run-in with Louis at Soccer Aid this month. Sam admitted he felt a wave of panic at the thought of a potential run-in with Louis during Soccer Aid with behind-the-scenes tensions bubbling long before the match.

When asked how he would feel sharing a pitch with the One Direction singer, the reality star admitted months ago that he had been caught off guard.

On his Staying Relevant podcast, he explained, “I panicked and thought, I don’t have this.” Therefore, I remarked, “It’s not about me and Louis.” It’s charity UNICEF, not who is dating who.

Everyone is here to raise money, the same reason. And he’ll say the same if he has any questions about him, as I’ve heard he does.

After Sam and Zara broke up briefly before getting back together in December, Sam and Zara, who met in 2019, decided to end their relationship. Although the new couple have kept things quiet about their relationship, Louis only briefly appeared on Zara’s Instagram during a romantic trip to the US earlier this year.

Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren indulge in foam party on $500 million yacht days before wedding

The lavish wedding on the Venetian island of San Giovanni is being held on the heels of billionaire Jeff Bezos and his seven-year partner Lauren Sanchez, who is also a billionaire.

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos has made like a fresher and thrown a bizarre foam party aboard his $500million yacht as part of his reported $48 million wedding celebration. The business tycoon is set to marry his fiancée of two years Lauren Sanchez in their controversial wedding, which has already been threatened by protestors.

However, Bezos foresaw problems with his OTT wedding and hired San Giovanni as a retirement community if problems did arise. He and his bride-to-be had a party on his yacht Koru on the island of Cres in Croatia before making their way to the city of Italy.

Bezos, who is estimated to be worth $223.5 billion, made the proposal to his 55-year-old girlfriend Lauren while cruising on his superyacht. When the 61-year-old asked the question, they were docked close to the Cannes Film Festival.

The bride and groom-to-be donned hats and sunglasses for their Sunday foam party, and Lauren donned a bikini and an ombre black and red bikini. As the foam sank from a massive cannon, the couple frolicked.

A ‘Happy Birthday’ banner was seen hanging from the yacht. The Mail reports the party could have been thrown to celebrate Lauren’s 19-year-old son Evan’s birthday.

Continue reading the article.

The wedding party has traveled to Venice, avoiding conflict and protesting locals who have threatened to obstruct the city’s famous canals due to the lavish affair. At tomorrow night’s 200-guest pre-wedding gala, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow evening, Greenpeace protestors and UK-based activists Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) expressed their outrage.

After residents threatened to encircle the canals with inflatable crocodiles, Bezos has already been forced to alter the couple’s plans. Locals’ threats forced Bezos to move the ceremony from the 13th-century Scuola Grande della Misericordia to the Arsenale de Venezia, where they accused him of “shutting down Venice.”

In the city of Venice in northern Italy, Arsenale is a sizable complex of former shipyards and armories gathered together. It is said to be surrounded by water, making bridge crossings from here from land impossible.

The couples’ 200 guests, including Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner, will descend on the tiny island of San Giovanni Evangelista for Thursday’s dinner. The island has a minuscule population of 11, with its only dwelling a modest five-bedroom home, which was previously the guesthouse to a convent which was part of a long-destroyed monastery complex.

As well as the threat of protestors, who are accusing Bezos of tax avoidance and environmental damage, there are also security concerns. Due to escalating tensions with Iran and Israel, as well as President Donald Trump’s recent bomb attacks and involvement in the war, surveillance is likely to be heightened.

Due to his involvement in the Middle East, Trump’s family’s presence has become a source of concern. Ivanka, the daughter of the US president, Jared Kushner, and their children have already arrived in Venice and will be staying at the St Regis, a five-star hotel close to St Mark’s Square.

Other well-known guests on the guest list list include Bill Gates, Mick Jagger, and Elton John, according to reports.
