Commission pushes to partially suspend Israel from EU research fund – POLITICO (2025-07-28)

>> The European Commission wants to partially suspend Israel from participating in its flagship research and development program, Horizon Europe.

>> The proposed suspension follows the EU's review of its association agreement with Israel, which opens up advantageous bilateral relations. In June the review found Israel in breach of its human rights obligations under the deal, with EU foreign ministers slated to discuss potential consequences during a meeting next month …

>> Israeli universities and researchers funded through the more traditional Horizon Europe programs would be unaffected.

>> The decision still needs backing from a qualified majority of #EU countries. 🤔

>> … Since the State of Israel was established, the #apartheid and occupation regime has institutionalized and systematically employed mechanisms of violent control, demographic engineering, discrimination, and fragmentation of the Palestinian collective. These foundations laid by the regime are what made it possible to launch a genocidal attack on the Palestinians immediately after the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023.

>> The assault on Palestinians in Gaza cannot be separated from the escalating violence being inflicted, … on Palestinians living under Israeli rule in the West Bank and within Israel. The violence and destruction in these areas is intensifying over time, with no effective domestic or international mechanism acting to halt them…

‘Total Failure’: Israel’s Return to War Heaped Ruin on Gaza and Did Little for Israelis

#Israel ended a truce in Gaza in March, hoping to break #Hamas. The move has heightened suffering for #Palestinians but achieved few, if any, #Israeli goals.

Then the resumption of war felt as if someone had “shut off the last source of life,” said Karam Rabah, a civil servant in central #Gaza. “We thought we’d survived the worst, then it got even worse.”

The truce ...had brought some respite, said Mr. Rabah, who is paid by the #WestBank-based PA. “Children went back to some kind of learning, families returned to their homes,” he said. Then the fighting restarted, and “homes that had survived were suddenly gone, and even food became scarce,” he added. “I never thought that I would fight for a kilogram of flour for my kids.”

Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir claimed there is “no real hunger in Gaza,” and says he supports "starving Hamas"

Meet the ‘Rulers of Starvation’ — Arab leaders whose silence and complicity have helped tighten the siege on Gaza, starving their own brothers while shaking hands with the occupier.

As a Palestinian in Gaza, I can’t imagine a hopeful future, even if a ceasefire is announced soon. What lies ahead feels even more terrifying than what we’ve already endured, not only because of the vast destruction but because our genocide has become background noise to “peace talks.”

After 21 months of slaughter, in which more than 59,000 Palestinians have been killed, Arab governments appear to still be moving toward normalizing relations with Israel. It is hard to believe that Israel is being rewarded after ruining our lives, instead of being held accountable.

This feels like a betrayal.

Genocide in Gaza (Physicians for Human Rights Israel, 2025-07-28)

------

>> On October 13, 2023, the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of 22 hospitals in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip. That day marked the start of an unprecedented assault on Gaza’s health system. Over the past 22 months, Israel has systematically targeted medical infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, attacking 33 of 36 of Gaza’s hospitals and clinics depriving them of fuel and water. More than 1800 of Gaza’s medical staff have been killed or detained.

>> Today, #PHRI is releasing a position paper that documents this assault for what it is: a deliberate, cumulative dismantling of Gaza’s health system, and with it, its people’s ability to survive. This amounts to genocide...

Basem Naim, another senior #Hamas official, told Drop Site, “#Trump is playing a strategic game of deception,” adding that the #US and #Israel were seeking to increase pressure on Hamas to capitulate. He said Trump’s comments, and similar ones made by Witkoff, were intended to apply “more pressure before the next round” of negotiations and to buy time for Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu “to reorganize the internal situation.”

Which in your objective view is worse?

Starving children to death or chanting something towards an army slaughtering these same children.

Times of Israel:
100s of rabbis from different denominations worldwide have called upon the authorities in Israel to cease using famine as a weapon in the Gaza Strip.

Aren't they nice people? It's really nice of them to finally nicely asking the genocidal regime of #Netanyahu to stop starving children.

Gaza's famine is accelerating at an unprecedented rate.

133 lives have been lost to starvation. 87 were children. July alone saw 67 martyrs of famine, more than all previous months combined.

This is not a statistic. These are human beings dying while food sits at closed borders, while the zionists and Arab regimes pretend to help.

Break the siege now.

Oxfam has said the airdrops into #Gaza are wholly inadequate for the population’s needs and has called for the immediate opening of all crossings for full humanitarian access into the territory devastated by relentless #Israeli bombardments and a partial aid blockade.

Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam policy lead for the Occupied #Palestinian territory, said:

Deadly airdrops and a trickle of trucks won’t undo months of engineered starvation in Gaza.

What’s needed is the immediate opening of all crossings for full, unhindered, and safe aid delivery across all of Gaza and a permanent ceasefire. Anything less risks being little more than a tactical gesture.

After Israeli restrictions on aid, hunger has risen across Gaza. Doctors and nurses, struggling to find food themselves, lack the resources to stem the surge.

Patrick Kingsley reported from Jerusalem; Bilal Shbair from Deir al-Balah, Gaza; and Rawan Sheikh Ahmad from Haifa, Israel.
July 27, 2025Updated 6:44 a.m. ET

In several of the hospitals still functioning in Gaza, nurses are fainting from hunger and dehydration. Managers often cannot provide meals for patients or medical staff. Doctors are running low on formula for newborn babies, in some cases giving them water alone.

And at least three major hospitals lack the nutritional fluids needed to properly treat malnourished children and adults.

Those scenes were described in interviews starting Friday with seven doctors — 4 from Gaza, and 3 volunteers from Australia, Britain and the US.

>> A letter signed by 341 prominent Israeli academics and professors has urged an end to the targeting of civilians, calling for "moral limits on military operations in Gaza."

>> "The wound of October 7 remains open, and 50 of our citizens are being held by Hamas in unbearable conditions. But at the height of this pain, the suffering our actions cause to others cannot be ignored," the letter read.

>> The signatories demanded immediate entry of food, water, and medical aid into the besieged enclave, describing the situation as a "serious humanitarian collapse."
