Hundreds of protesters flooded Manhattan on Saturday in solidarity with Palestinians, demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war and the U.S. halt military aid to Israel. Over 200 organizations joined the rally, “Stop Starving Gaza: Mass March for Humanity,” raising alarms over starvation and child suffering. The protest echoed UN warnings of escalating famine in Gaza, as Israel announced new offensives and relocation plans. Meanwhile, Israeli families of hostages staged a strike, urging action after nearly two years of war.

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law.
Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand exploded into deadly border clashes this week, killing at least 13 and displacing over 170,000. Cambodia has urgently called for an immediate ceasefire, citing a desire for a peaceful resolution. The conflict flared near the disputed Preah Vihear and Prasat Ta Muen Thom temples, ancient religious sites turned battlegrounds. Artillery and rocket fire were exchanged, with accusations flying at the United Nations Security Council.
Thailand blamed Cambodia for "inhumane" attacks, while Cambodia argued that Thailand initiated the violence. A century-old land dispute—rooted in colonial maps and contested rulings—has resurfaced, reigniting fears of a broader war. The 2013 ICJ ruling gave control of the 11th-century Preah Vihear temple to Cambodia, yet Thailand continues to dispute surrounding territory. With both militaries mobilized and thousands fleeing their homes, the region teeters on the edge of a larger humanitarian crisis.
