May 30, 2025 /3BL/ - Action Against Hunger remains deeply committed to addressing the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the entire population faces severe hunger, displacement, and grave suffering. Our priority is the swift, safe, and impartial delivery of lifesaving assistance to civilians in need, in accordance with humanitarian principles.
Action Against Hunger has not endorsed (and will not endorse), nor agreed to collaborate with any mechanism that does not comply with fundamental humanitarian principles.
Action Against Hunger firmly supports the UN-coordinated response as the most viable, principled, and immediately actionable framework for large-scale aid delivery. This system has been tested, is already operational, and remains the best pathway to reach those most in need without delay. We cannot afford to divert attention or resources from proven mechanisms when lives hang in the balance.
We urgently call for an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and full, unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza. Action Against Hunger continues to advocate for all parties to uphold international humanitarian law and ensure the protection of civilians.

Finally: A president who understands ‘peace through strength' just made the world safer
President Donald Trump's order to 'obliterate' Iranian nuclear-weapons sites just made the whole world a lot safer — not only because he kept a maniacal regime from acquiring nukes, but because other nations must now think twice before defying the United States. 'American deterrence is back,' proclaimed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. 'When this president speaks, the world should listen' — because the US military 'can back it up.' Advertisement And, indeed, US military might is a thing to behold. What a refreshing change from the Obama and Biden years. Time and again, President Joe Biden issued a toothless, finger-wagging 'Don't' — only for his targets to laugh and do as they pleased anyway, knowing that America's adversaries would face no real consequences. Advertisement 'Don't, don't, don't,' Biden threatened any 'hostile actor thinking about attacking Israel' after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023; Hezbollah and the Houthis struck the Jewish state anyway. US drops $500M bombs on Iran The US military dropped six 'bunker buster' bombs on Iran's Fordow nuclear enrichment plant Saturday night and on two other key sites. Prior to the airstrikes, Israel initiated extensive attacks on Iran's nuclear infrastructure and military. Satellite images show how part of the mountain protecting the facility was completely obliterated. This marks the first time that the US used the 15-ton GBU-57 bunker buster bombs in anger. 'Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior,' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said following the attack. Last year he told Iran 'don't' after it threatened to attack Israel; Tehran responded by launching hundreds of missiles at Israeli targets. Biden warned Vladimir Putin of 'severe consequences' for invading Ukraine; Putin went ahead. Advertisement Even after Iranian-backed militants killed three US soldiers and injured 30 others in Jordan last year, Biden's response was all but nonexistent.

Check out more newsletters Joe earned the world's contempt his first year in office with his disastrous Afghan withdrawal, and kept on earning it by repeatedly hesitating in getting Ukraine the arms it needed to do more than slow the Russian onslaught. President Barack Obama was no better. Recall his 'red line' on Syria's use of chemical weapons? When Bashar al-Assad used them anyway, Obama set off on an elaborate dance to not follow through — even facilitating Moscow's return to being a Mideast player when Putin offered face-saving cover for Bam's back-down. Advertisement Obama's answer to Iran's nukes was to hand the regime billions in exchange for promises to delay gaining them, a deal Tehran quickly violated. The Obama crew confused America's enemies with its friends; Biden was just confused — but each opened to door to chaos with bumbling that led to the rise of ISIS and Putin's first grab of Ukrainian territory on Bam's watch, then the latest Ukraine war plus the Middle East in flames after Joe took over. Yes, Trump prefers diplomacy, even to end Iran's nuclear ambitions. But he also warned that no deal meant 'bombing the likes of which they have never seen before' — and now has proved that his words aren't empty threats. And just as Putin, China's Xi Jinping and other malign actors saw Biden's Afghan bugout as a US retreat and a license for belligerence, they heard the rumble of Trump's massive bunker-buster bombs Saturday — and the message they sent about America's new resolve. It's true that Trump strongly prefers peace and is reluctant to use military power, but he's now proved beyond a doubt that he will use it — and to overwhelming effect — when necessary. Plus, US deception and strategic misdirection in advance of Saturday's strikes now make it clear that Trump's trademark ambiguity is reason for the other guys to worry about what he might do. Advertisement America is well-served by that 'unpredictability,' even as it was ill-served by Obama and Biden's predictable weakness. Bombing Iran's nuke sites won't guarantee better behavior from US adversaries, but the Putins and Xis of the world are on notice that they move at high risk of paying a far greater cost than they can afford. It's the very definition of deterrence: 'Peace through strength' makes the world safer. Thank goodness the nation has a president who gets it.

UN Nuclear Chief Urges Halt to Iran Strikes to Allow Inspections
The head of the United Nations atomic watchdog called for a return to diplomacy after the US strikes on Iran's nuclear program, saying there's 'a window of opportunity' to return to dialogue. International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi warned that the global framework for preventing the spread of nuclear weapons 'is on the line' as he briefed the UN Security Council on Sunday in the aftermath of the US strike that used stealth bombers and ground-penetrating munitions.
