Published

on



The UN General Assembly has voted in favour of a non-binding resolution demanding “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza.

153 member states voted in favour, 10 against and there were 23 abstentions.

The World Health Organization says the health system in Gaza has gone from 36 hospitals to only 11 – and those are only partially functioning.

    Why isn't the UN docking hospital ships on the Gaza shores to shelter inocent women and children and the wounded Palestinians?

    How about demanding that Hamas cease and desist? We know why. Iran and Hamas and Afghanistan religious psychopaths will never change.

    I think the UN should be demanding from Hamas to stop killing people. Not telling Israel to stop killing terrorists. But then we all know a lot of UN equipment was found in terrorists homes so maybe the terrorists have already infilrated the UN.

    If This Virtue Signaling Had Any Real Motivation Jordan Wouldn't Have Stopped Air Dropping Medical Aid, Water & Food To The Gaza Hospitals.

    In Fact The Other Arab Nation's Grieving Over The Horrific Loss Of Human Life Would Be Doing It Too. If They Really Felt Their Were Grounds For A Humanitarian Ceasefire But Credit To Jordan Their The Only One's.

    If The Americans Could Do This Over 20yr's Ago Why Can't The UN Agencies' & States Calling For Another Humanitarian Cease Fire Do This Now??

    The Obvious Answer Is They Don't Want Too, They'd Rather Let The Humanitarian Disaster Grow To Leverage The US/UK

    world 1 sea! Anyone who wants can wear a swimsuit! Whoever wants can swim in a dress! But it is not written on life preservers! Because only the rich can wear them! The Palestinian people are also a people who want to drown in the same sea! The world cannot say that life preservers are only for the zionists! The civilized world does not have such a right! A lifeline for everyone! or nobody

    Hamas plan is to get away from the crimes they commited with a cease fire , thats why it is important to ignore the whole UN now and for Israel to focus on finishing them

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



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.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



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.
