Mughrabi and Andrew MacAskill UNITED NATIONS/LONDON (Reuters) -Britain said on Tuesday it would recognise a Palestinian state in September unless Israel takes steps to relieve suffering in Gaza, where starvation is spreading,

As photos circulate online of the famine affecting the Gaza Strip, questions mount about possible misinformation making its way onto the internet. Tel Aviv Institute Senior Fellow Hen Mazzig joins Erielle Reshef to discuss possible circulation of misinformation and the landscape of the hunger situation unfolding in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly prepared to propose a plan to annex the entire Gaza Strip that has the backing of the Trump administration, signalling the next horrific phase in Israel’s genocide as it also moves forward with annexing the occupied West Bank.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip,” the leading international authority on food crises said in a new alert Tuesday, predicting “widespread death” without immediate action.

President Donald Trump reacted to Europe’s latest pitch on the Israel-Hamas war on Tuesday, saying the United States was not in the “camp” of pressuring Israel on a two-state solution. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday that the United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not agree to peace in the Gaza strip by September.

Opinion: The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation violates the most basic principles of humanitarian relief operations

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli strikes killed at least 36 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Monday, including a pregnant woman and her newborn, local health officials said. Israel meanwhile eased some aid restrictions as it came under mounting pressure over the spiraling hunger crisis in the war-ravaged territory.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving: “There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”
