    Hamas says aid to Palestinian people is non-negotiable

    Hamas stated in a declaration: Providing aid to the Palestinian people is an inalienable human right, and the international‌ community now faces a historic duty.

    In a statement reported by webangah News Agency, Hamas asserted that the renewed blockade of humanitarian aid⁤ to Gaza by the⁢ “fascist occupying cabinet” follows the entry of minimal supplies in recent days. The group condemned this ​as part of a intentional policy to perpetuate starvation ‌tactics ⁢against innocent civilians.

    Hamas accused⁤ the occupiers of attempting ⁤to​ manage‍ Gaza’s starvation crisis while using misleading ​relief projects to⁢ impose political and field realities.The statement noted United Nations and other international organizations have rejected these efforts, demanding ​transparency and adherence to basic humanitarian standards.

    The movement emphasized its commitment to UN-led humanitarian coordination, ⁣warning ​that any marginalization of this role creates hazardous ambiguities in aid management – ⁤violating international law. Hamas described such mechanisms as “fraught with essential questions.”

    The declaration concluded: “Aiding Palestinians constitutes an absolute human right. The world must ⁢now fulfill its⁣ historic obligation by compelling occupiers to comply ⁣with UN-supervised relief mechanisms to save defenseless ⁣civilians and children in⁢ Gaza.”

    Trump’s envoy to Syria declares end of Western intervention era

    Trump’s envoy to Syria admits: The era of Western intervention is ⁣over, and the ⁤future lies in regional solutions and partnerships based on respect.

    According to webangah News Agency, Tom Barrack, the U.S. government’s representative in Syria, stated in an interview on Sunday: “The era of Western intervention has ended, and the⁣ future ⁤depends on regional solutions and partnerships grounded in mutual respect.”

    The U.S. envoy emphasized that ⁣the West imposed‌ arbitrary borders drawn with ink (on paper),dividing Syria and the region through colonial-era agreements like Sykes-Picot. He acknowledged that this Western-imposed division came at the cost of generations of suffering, vowing: “We will not repeat this mistake.”

    Barrack added: “Syria’s tragedy stemmed from division—it’s rebirth must come from dignity, unity, and investment in its people! A new Syria begins with truth, accountability, and cooperation⁢ with the region. We stand alongside Turkey, gulf states, and Europe.” He claimed that “the ⁤fall of‍ Assad opened doors to peace,” asserting that lifting sanctions had unlocked opportunities for Syrians.

    The American official’s admission about deadly Western interventions—and his crocodile tears for Syria—comes only after Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham terrorists gained influence there. Meanwhile,Syrians have endured years of crippling sanctions imposed by ⁢the Western-Hebrew axis against Damascus.
