UN Endorses Two-State Plan as EU Weighs Sanctions and Israel Strikes Outside Gaza

The Doha raid has strained mediation, provoking rare public anger from the United States.

Overview

  • The UN General Assembly adopted the New York Declaration by 142–10–12, backing a two-state path, condemning Hamas’s 7 October attacks, and calling for disarmament and the release of all hostages.
  • The European Parliament passed a Gaza resolution 305–151–122 as Ursula von der Leyen said she will propose sanctions on extremist Israeli ministers and a partial suspension of the EUIsrael association agreement.
  • Italy’s foreign minister Antonio Tajani said Rome is ready to evaluate EU sanctions proposals, condemned the Doha strike as unacceptable, and pledged diplomatic and consular support for Italians on the Global Sumud Flotilla.
  • Israel intensified operations in Gaza City with evacuation orders and high‑rise demolitions, with about 150,000 Palestinians reported displaced; local reports cited 50 deaths today as the IDF works to expand the Kissufim crossing to handle up to 150 aid trucks daily.
  • Israel said it hit Houthi targets in Sana’a and al‑Jawf in the ‘Ring the Bells’ operation, while Houthi media reported 9 dead and 118 wounded; Qatar called the Doha raid an act of state terrorism and President Trump pressed Prime Minister Netanyahu not to repeat such strikes.
