Overview

  • The United States withdrew from ceasefire negotiations on July 24 after envoy Steve Witkoff said Hamas showed no willingness for a truce, recalling US negotiators for consultations.
  • President Emmanuel Macron announced his intention to formally recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September to secure its viability, demilitarization and acceptance of Israel.
  • France, the United Kingdom and Germany issued a joint statement demanding an immediate end to hostilities, the release of hostages and a negotiated two-state solution with Hamas disarmed.
  • UNRWA chief Phillipe Lazzarini warned that one in five children in Gaza suffers malnutrition and described residents as “walking corpses” as the territory remains under near-total blockade.
  • Hundreds of aid trucks remain stranded at Gaza crossings in a context of mutual accusations between the Israeli military and UN agencies over responsibility for stalled humanitarian deliveries.
