Gaza bombing: “End this god-awful nightmare” says United Nations – BBC News
The United Nations has called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza, saying the situation there has reached “catastrophic levels”.
The UN secretary general Antonio Guterres told a peace summit in Egypt that it was time for “action to end this god-awful nightmare”.
It came as the first trucks carrying aid entered Gaza from Egypt via the Rafah crossing. Earlier, Hamas had released two American hostages
Israel has said it’s stepping up its airstrikes on Gaza in response to the killing of its citizens by Hamas. Gunmen raided Israel on 7 October, killing 1,400 people and taking around 200 hostages.
Since then more than 4,400 people have been killed in Israeli air and artillery strikes in Gaza, according to Palestinian officials.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Israel should stop the bombing. Go on a march and call for a ceasefire but stop chanting 'Free Palestine' – it's meaningless ( the naqba happened and there is no going back on Israel after 75 years) and is seen as aggressive.
The Palestinians have to move on from that and focus on a reasonable two- state solution. Israel has to give back the lands it has grabbed. It's not going to be easy with all the inflamed nationalism but the focus should be a on a decent future for the children.
This conflict is just creating martyrs for the Palestinian cause and not helping the Israeli side.

Today these non-Muslim rioters of Satan harm good people and begin to think they are above all rules, laws, and justice because a wise nation America can help them commit genocide. The American people do not support the Jewish development of humanity, but Biden has tarnished the government, if it is confirmed, they will pay the price in a certain collapse.
On the other hand, the general Jewish people protested to demand an end to the war.
Location is in location.
Palestine has the right to an independent state if the Jews are free to express themselves.

There is no humanity in the world. Everyone in this world is selfish. People know what is true and what is false, but who is the culprit for their own interests. Everyone in this world respects religion not people. Those who cannot respect people cannot respect religion. You think you are Christian, you think you are Jewish, you think Hindu, you think Muslim, you think Buddhist, you don't follow any religion. After all, you are a human being. Religion cannot grow in people. Learn to love people first.
If there are any kind hearted people in this world who have so much compassion and kindness in their heart, please help the innocent Palestinian people. The Israeli army is bombarding the Palestinians like rain. Thousands of young children are dying because it is their fault that they are born in Muslim homes. To whom will I give judgment if the keeper is the eater?
