- The U.S. restarted delivering aid into Gaza using a temporary pier on Thursday, after dismantling it on June 14 for the second time.
- A U.N. official, an Israeli official, and a U.S. military commander met to discuss restarting aid distribution, with 12 million pounds of supplies waiting for 18 days.
- The Gaza Strip is virtually split in two, with blockades restricting movement for displaced people and aid workers.
- The U.N. World Food Program paused its distribution from the American-built pier, citing safety concerns after a deadly day of fighting.
- Heavy fighting in Gaza has halted most aid delivery, leaving civilians with few places to seek safety.

Is the U.S. Aid Effort in Gaza Doomed to Fail?

Why is everyone posting stories with the title "All eyes on Rafah". What are they expecting by putting up stories? 
Millions have already died in this war. What Israel did this time was wrong for sure but what is the point of the story? Is the war over? Did Israel suddenly realize their mistake after seeing a story from a 14 year old GenZ.
In all honesty, I don't care about this war. Hamas attacked Israel first and now is crying that Israel has become ruthless. Are they stupid or what?
There is a famous saying "When you try to attack the king, make sure you goddamn kill it".

The only option is to stop the war from both the sides but no one is ready to do that. Blame game continues between Hamas and Israel and the commoners are dying because of that.

Why is the powerful side always considered wrong? Don't poke the dragon. That's it.

India doesn't poke China if it does something in the border area only beacuse any kind of revenge will lead to loss of million lives and that is a smart move which the people will appreciate.

And in the same manner, if Pakistan (a weaker country) than us tries to attack us, I will want my govt to shoot them down.

WTF is "All eyes on Rafah"?

Israel or Palestine ! Humanity first ! Wars sucks fuck can’t this be a peaceful world!

Googlers,

You may have seen reports of protests at some of our offices yesterday. Unfortunately, a number of employees brought the event into our buildings in New York and Sunnyvale. They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers. Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened. We placed employees involved under investigation and cut their access to our systems. Those who refused to leave were arrested by law enforcement and removed from our offices.

Following investigation, today we terminated the employment of twenty-eight employees found to be involved. We will continue to investigate and take action as needed.

Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it. It clearly violates multiple policies that all employees must adhere to — including our Code of Conduct and Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, Retaliation, Standards of Conduct, and Workplace Concerns.

We are a place of business and every Googler is expected to read our policies and apply them to how they conduct themselves and communicate in our workplace. The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior — up to and including termination.

You should expect to hear more from leaders about standards of behavior and discourse in the workplace.

Chris

Iran vs Israel war

- The recent rocket strike in the Golan Heights, killing 12 children and teenagers, has escalated tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with fears of an all-out war growing.
- Cross-border fire has intensified since October, with both sides suffering significant casualties, and Israel responding with air strikes and missiles into southern Lebanon.
- The Israeli government is under pressure to retaliate strongly, with Prime Minister Netanyahu promising a heavy price for Hezbollah, while the Lebanese militant group denies responsibility for the deadly rocket.
- Hezbollah's significant arsenal and its backing by Iran pose a substantial threat, complicating Israel's potential military response, especially with its resources stretched in Gaza.
- Domestic political pressures on Netanyahu, coupled with international calls for restraint, create a volatile situation as the region braces for possible further escalation.
