Quick Summary

On September 6, eight Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey, condemned Israeli plans to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, citing concerns that these designs jeopardize a US-backed peace in the territory. The countries stated that such measures directly challenge international efforts to achieve peace, particularly President Donald Trump's comprehensive plan for Gaza. According to Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, the plan aims to initially remove 250,000 Palestinians from Gaza over one year, followed by the remaining two million residents over six years. The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, denied that there is an Israeli plan to forcibly expel Palestinians from Gaza.

Story summary

A series of news articles have reported on the ongoing crisis in Gaza, where Israeli airstrikes and rubble-clearing operations are erasing evidence of war crimes. In 2023, Israel launched a genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza, which has resulted in at least 73,651 Palestinian deaths and 174,592 injuries since October 2023.

In recent weeks, mass recovery operations have retrieved over 100 bodies from the Abu Shariah and Hassaniya families killed in a single strike, and more than 500 from the al-Taj Tower site. The victims' remains were carried by family members to be buried in known cemeteries, a process that has been delayed due to a shortage of heavy machinery.

The Israeli government's actions have been criticized by Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, who warned that large-scale rubble removal in Gaza under Israeli control risks erasing traces of atrocity crimes and preventing the recovery and identification of human remains. The Italian-born independent expert has faced harsh criticism from Israel and its allies over her long-standing accusations that Israel is committing genocide and other war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.

Meanwhile, former IDF reserve colonel Nochi Mendel has made inflammatory comments about the killings of aid workers, including Zomi Frankcom and six colleagues who were killed in 2024 while bringing food to Gaza. The Greens have criticized the Albanese government for its failure to halt military exports and impose new sanctions on Israel.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, the leader of Israel's far-right Jewish Power party, has also made headlines with his recent comments, including a video showing Palestinian prisoners being loaded onto a conveyor belt and taken to detention camps. The caption "we promised – we delivered!" suggests that Ben-Gvir is proud of worsening conditions for Palestinian prisoners.

The crisis in Gaza continues to be met with silence from the international community.

🔮 Global diesel prices seen staying high despite Trump’s deal with Russia AI generated NEW YORK - US President Donald Trump’s deal with Russia to supply diesel to US and global markets is unlikely to meaningfully lower diesel prices, market watchers and analysts said, noting that the promised volumes are too small to ease a global supply squeeze. Diesel prices have shot to record highs during the US-Israeli war on Iran, creating a political liability for Trump and his Republican party as they campaign to maintain thin majorities in the US Congress in the Nov 3 midterm elections. Critics of Trump’s move said lifting sanctions on Russian diesel could help Moscow fund further attacks on Ukraine, undermining years of efforts to curb Russian energy revenues and raising the risk the Kremlin could profit while consumers get little relief from high fuel prices. Trump said Russia would immediately export 300,000 metric tons, or 2.25 million barrels, followed by 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons “immediately thereafter”. Analysts have said it may not be possible for Russia to produce enough excess diesel in the near-term to meet those ambitious goals, while a strained global tanker market may also make timely shipments difficult. Analysts also said the announced volumes are unlikely to meaningfully lower diesel prices. US retail diesel prices topped US$6 a gallon in September for the first time ever and have remained above that level since. Big promises, limited impact Michelle Brouhard, head of policy and geopolitical risk at Kpler, said it would take an additional 400,000 barrels per day of diesel supply to materially ease prices in the current market. But the initial shipment of roughly 2.2 million barrels would amount to only about 73,000 bpd if distributed over a month. She said that volume on its own would probably not significantly affect global diesel prices. Caspian Conran, lead economist at consulting firm Baringa, estimated that the market would require an additional 850,000 bpd of supply to produce an immediate softening in prices. Trump initially said Russia would immediately supply diesel to the US and global markets to help bring down fuel prices, but later said the Russian cargoes would be released to global markets rather than shipped to the US. This raised questions about whether the deal will deliver the domestic supply relief the president promised. “The diesel that Putin was going to sell, they were going to make it available to the global market one way or the other,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said over the weekend.
