21 Palestinians Martyred by Israeli Gunfire in Gaza, Including 11 Waiting for Aid - Jordan News
21 Palestinians Martyred by Israeli Gunfire in Gaza, Including 11 Waiting for Aid At least 21 Palestinians were martyred and several others injured on Saturday as a result of Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the Gaza Strip, including 11 individuals who were waiting to receive humanitarian aid. اضافة اعلان According to Palestinian medical sources, six people were killed and at least 10 injured by Israeli gunfire while waiting near an aid distribution point west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat reported the deaths of five Palestinians and the injury of 15 others as they attempted to obtain aid near the Al-Shohada Junction in central Gaza. Additionally, three Palestinians were killed and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Zaytoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City, with victims transferred to Ahli Arab (Al-Maamadani) Hospital. Another three Palestinian brothers were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on Al-Mansoura Street in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, while one more Palestinian was killed by Israeli forces northwest of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has carried out what has been widely condemned as genocidal acts in Gaza, involving killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in defiance of international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the aggression. The ongoing assault has resulted in over 186,000 casualties, including martyrs and wounded — the majority being women and children — in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons, hundreds of thousands displaced, and widespread famine that has claimed the lives of many, including children. — (WAFA)

Pakistan to nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize over India-Pakistan ceasefire
Pakistan announced on Saturday its intention to nominate US President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising his role in ending the recent conflict between India and Pakistan. Officials said Trump's intervention demonstrated the diplomatic foresight and political skill needed to defuse a rapidly escalating crisis. Some analysts in Pakistan suggest that this move could encourage Trump to reconsider any potential involvement with Israel in strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities. Pakistan has strongly condemned Israeli attacks, describing them as violations of international law and threats to regional stability. In May, Trump's unexpected announcement of a ceasefire brought an abrupt end to a four-day conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Since then, Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for averting a nuclear war and saving millions of lives, while expressing frustration over the lack of recognition. While Pakistan credits US diplomatic efforts for halting the fighting, India maintains the ceasefire was the result of a bilateral agreement between its and Pakistan's militaries. Pakistan stated: 'President Trump showed remarkable strategic vision and exceptional political acumen through his strong diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi, leading to the de-escalation of a rapidly deteriorating situation... This intervention stands as proof of his role as a true peacemaker.' Governments have the right to nominate individuals for the Nobel Peace Prize. So far, there has been no official response from Washington, and Indian government representatives did not reply to requests for comment.

New York Times: Khamenei nominates three names to succeed him
Ammon News - New York Times reported on Saturday that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has named three senior clerics as potential successors in the event of his assassination. Khamenei, fearing assassination, often speaks with his commanders through a trusted aide now, suspending electronic communications to make it harder to find him, three Iranian officials familiar with his emergency war plans say. Iran's top officials are also quietly making preparations for a wide range of outcomes as the war intensifies and as President Trump considers whether to enter the fight, according to the Iranian officials, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the ayatollah's plans. Ayatollah Khamenei, 86, is aware that either Israel or the United States could try to assassinate him, an end he would view as martyrdom, the officials said. Given the possibility, the ayatollah has made the unusual decision to instruct his nation's Assembly of Experts, the clerical body responsible for appointing the supreme leader, to choose his successor swiftly from the three names he has provided. Normally, the process of appointing a new supreme leader could take months, with clerics picking and choosing from their own lists of names. But with the nation now at war, the officials said, the ayatollah wants to ensure a quick, orderly transition and to preserve his legacy.
