US Blocks Gaza Ceasefire Resolution at UN CouncilThe US cast its first veto since January, halting a resolution demanding unrestricted humanitarian aid and ceasefire in Gaza.
- The United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire along with unrestricted humanitarian access in Gaza.
- Multiple UN representatives condemned the veto as a moral failure and political obstruction that prolongs the conflict.
- Hamas denounced the veto as sanctioning aggression and humanitarian suffering, while Israel defended its right to self-defense.
- Following the veto, Palestine intends to seek a ceasefire resolution in the UN General Assembly where vetoes do not apply.
The veto marks a new stain on the ethical record of the United States of America.— Hamas condemned the 'disgraceful' US veto, reiterating accusations of 'genocide' in Gaza.

- Following controversy over provocative clothing, Nietzard rejected calls to resign and hinted at more contentious statements.
I made a mistake that I want to openly and honestly apologize for. Especially to Jews worldwide and in Germany.— Jette Nietzard apologizes for her controversial statements in an Instagram video.

Madleen Flotilla Delivers Aid Amid Gaza BlockadeTwelve volunteers, including Greta Thunberg, sail from Sicily to Gaza carrying urgent supplies amid a severe blockade since March.
- The Madleen flotilla departed Sicily on June 1 with twelve crew members carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.
- The 2,000km journey is expected to take seven days and is monitored in real time by Forensic Architecture and Garmin trackers.
- The ship is loaded with essential items like medical supplies, baby formula, flour, and water desalination kits for Gaza’s population.
- Since March, Israel’s complete blockade has caused acute food shortages affecting 93 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.
We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity.— Greta Thunberg speaks about the motivation for participating in the Madleen flotilla.

Surge in Antisemitic Violence Across the U.S.Since October 2023, three violent attacks have targeted Jewish communities, intensifying fears and prompting heightened security measures nationwide.
- A rise in antisemitic violence has deeply unsettled Jewish communities following the October 2023 Israel-Hamas conflict.
- The Boulder attack injured twelve people and was perpetrated by a suspect who planned the hate crime for a year.
- Security at Jewish institutions has increased, but leaders stress that combating antisemitism requires a broader societal response.
- Community leaders emphasize that violence against Jews undermines peace efforts and call for persistent vigilance against all forms of antisemitism.
Antisemitism will never be a path to justice.— Sheila Katz, CEO of the National Council of Jewish Women, in the context of recent antisemitic attacks.

- The International Committee of the Red Cross treated 184 casualties at its field hospital, with 27 deaths occurring shortly after arrival.
