US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

Israel presses ahead with its deadly air and artillery strikes on the Gaza Strip more than nine months into the genocide in the blockaded territory. In one of the latest attacks, at least four people were killed after the regime’s bombing of a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, northwest of Gaza City. In another strike, three Palestinians were killed and 30 others injured following a raid on a residential building in the al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City. Also in that neighborhood, another attack left four people from a single family dead and several others injured. In central Gaza City, three people were killed and 20 injured after their house was targeted by an airstrike early at dawn. And to the north of Gaza City, seven Palestinians were murdered following an air raid on their house. More than 38,400 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the US-Israeli genocide last October.

Gaza ceasefire talks

A senior Hamas official has criticized Netanyahu for undermining ceasefire negotiations, saying the Israeli Prime Minister is responsible if the ongoing talks fail. Khalil al-Hayya slammed Netanyahu for avoiding agreements, stressing that a deal can be settled if Netanyahu wants it. He also called out the Israeli prime minister for his disregard towards the remaining captives in Gaza. He asserted that the resistance in Gaza will not bow down to Netanyahu's plans and awaits a response from mediators. Despite challenges, Al-Hayya affirmed that the resistance is in a strong negotiating position and is close to achieving its goals while Netanyahu faces pressure from multiple fronts. In a separate statement, Hamas said its chief Ismail Haniyeh has contacted mediators and some regional countries on the Gaza ceasefire. Haniyeh blamed the failure of talks on Israel’s changing position and new conditions put forth by Netanyahu. He added that the massacre at the al-Mawasi refugee camp was also aimed at undermining the ceasefire talks.

Trump rally attack

Former US President Donald Trump has been injured after a gunman opened fire during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service said a gunman fired multiple shots from an elevated position outside of the rally venue. Trump was speaking to supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania. His team and the Secret Service confirmed that he was “fine.” In a social media post following the attack, Trump said he was hit by a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear. One spectator was killed and at least two were critically injured. The Secret Service said the shooter was also killed. US law enforcement officials say the incident is investigated as an attempted assassination. The FBI has identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. However, there is still not any mention of a potential motive or whether anyone else was involved. Reacting to the shooting, President Joe Biden described it as sick and denounced political violence. Biden said he was grateful that Trump was safe and doing well.
