We will be closing this live page soon. Here’s a recap of the day’s major developments:

• Israel’s military continued to pound the Gaza Strip, killing at least 82 Palestinians, as it blocks desperately needed food aid from entering in amounts sufficient to halt famine.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel will retain control of all of Gaza when its military assault ends, adding that it will be ready for a potential “temporary” halt to its bombardment to release remaining captives.
• Several countries, including France, Spain, and the UK have summoned Israeli ambassadors after Israeli forces fired towards a group of diplomats in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
• At least three people have been killed in Israeli attacks on various parts of Lebanon’s south, including the villages of Aitoun and Yater.
• The Health Ministry in Gaza has accused Israel of deliberately hitting power generators to put the enclave’s hospitals out of operation, as aid groups say medical teams face dire conditions amid supply shortages.
• Stephane Dujarric, the UN chief’s spokesperson, has said no humanitarian supplies have been able to leave the Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing in southern Israel to enter the Gaza Strip, adding that these supplies are nowhere near enough to meet the vast needs of people in Gaza.

A member of the Irish rap band Kneecap has been charged with a “terrorism” offence in the UK for waving a flag of the armed Lebanese group Hezbollah at a concert in November 2024 in London.

Liam O’Hanna, whose stage name is Mo Chara, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on June 18, charged under the Terrorism Act, British police said.

Kneecap has drawn international attention for its vocal support for Palestinian rights, including during a recent, widely watched performance at the Coachella music festival in California.

The South African president says his country’s case at the top UN court alleging that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians was not discussed during a meeting today with US President Donald Trump at the White House.

“The ICJ issue did not arise during the lunch,” he told reporters.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz had said yesterday that he was confident that Trump “will demand” that South African officials change their policy towards Israel.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio also said the US was “very concerned” about South Africa’s ICJ case.

Israel is facing condemnation from some of its strongest allies over its increasing aggression in Gaza.

The UK is cancelling new trade talks and the EU is reviewing old agreements, while both are imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.

But will any of this change the reality on the ground for the Palestinians?

UN chief Guterres’s spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, has confirmed that the United Nations collected “around 90 truckloads of goods” and dispatched them to Gaza.

“We have no further details to share at this time,” Dujarric said in a brief statement.

Amnesty International says “firm action” must include halting all military support for Israel, including weapons transfers.

The rights group called on countries to go to the UN Security Council and other international bodies “to collectively adopt targeted sanctions against Israeli officials most implicated in crimes under international law”.

Amnesty also urged world leaders to pledge to implement International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants and support the tribunal.

The ICC has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes in Gaza.

There are “reasonable grounds” to believe that Gallant and Netanyahu “intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity”, the court said in November when the warrants were issued.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government “will decide” what action it will take if Israel continues with its bombardment of Gaza and blockade of humanitarian aid.

Canada joined the UK and France in a statement this week that said: “If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response.”

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, Carney said the goal of the statement was to push Israel to ensure “that adequate humanitarian aid gets to the population there, many of whom are on the brink of starvation”.

“It’s the Israeli government’s responsibility to act,” the prime minister added in French.

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand says the country “expect[s] a full investigation and accountability” for the incident.

“I have asked my officials to summon Israel’s Ambassador to convey Canada’s serious concerns,” Anand said in a post on X.

Canada becomes the latest country to summon an Israeli ambassador over the incident, following EU countries such as France and Spain.

Two Palestinians have sustained wounds after being physically assaulted by Israeli soldiers in the village of Wadi Rahhal, the Palestinian news agency reports.

The two men were identified as Iyad Muhammad Abu Aahour, 35, and Ahmad Rajeh Abu Aahour, 19.

Hamdi Ziyada, head of the Wadi Rahhal village council, was cited as saying that the two men sustained bruises and were taken to a hospital in Bethlehem for treatment.

Earlier, Israeli forces raided the village and hurled sound bombs as soldiers stationed themselves in the middle of the town’s square, Wafa added.

US Senator Bernie Sanders has renewed his push to suspend American military aid to Israel as it wages war on Palestinians in Gaza.

“Almost the entire population of Gaza is acutely malnourished and many are on the brink of starvation,” Sanders wrote in a post on X. “History will not forget US complicity in enabling this horrific humanitarian disaster.”

The US provides at least $3.8bn in military aid to Israel annually and has provided billions more since the Israeli military began its Gaza bombardment in October 2023.

Sanders introduced resolutions in the US Senate last month seeking to suspend American sales of “offensive weapons” to Israel, but the measures failed to pass.

US authorities have refused to allow Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student detained for his Palestine advocacy, to hold his newborn son as his US immigration detention drags on, Khalil’s legal team says.

In a statement, the American Civil Liberties Union said US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and private prison contractor GEO Group have refused to allow a contact visit between Khalil and his family.

A graduate student and legal permanent resident, Khalil has been detained since March 8 in a push to deport him over his participation in campus protests for Gaza last year. He is one of several pro-Palestinian students that the Trump administration has targeted for deportation.

“I am furious at the cruelty and inhumanity of this system that dares to call itself just,” Khalil’s wife, Noor Abdalla, said in a statement denouncing ICE’s decision to bar Khalil from being able to meet their son.

“This is not just heartless. It is deliberate violence, the calculated cruelty of a government that tears families apart without remorse,” Abdalla said.

“And I cannot ignore the echoes of this pain in the stories of Palestinian families, torn apart by Israeli military prisons and bombs, denied dignity, denied life. Our struggle is not isolated. This system is unjust, and we will fight until Mahmoud is home.”

British MP Jeremy Corbyn says Israel’s firing towards diplomats in the occupied West Bank will no doubt raise “huge levels of anger” amongst the governments whose personnel were affected.

“The demand to cease all arms supplies to Israel, which is gaining strength all over the world, will get stronger and stronger,” Corbyn told Al Jazeera in an interview from London.

“What Israel has seen in the past two weeks has been a massive loss of support on the world stage,” he said.

Corbyn added that if an arms embargo is imposed on Israel, Netanyahu “won’t be able to sustain the continued bombardment of Gaza as well as this huge occupation of the West Bank”.

“These are horrible and desperate times, but if Netanyahu thinks it’s OK to shoot at diplomats visiting a refugee camp [in Jenin], then surely something must follow,” he said.

“And I would have thought, at the very least, there’s got to be condemnation from the UN … and a suspension of all arms supplies to Israel.”

Hamish Falconer, the British minister for the Middle East and North Africa, has described the incident today in Jenin as “unacceptable”.

“I have spoken to our diplomats who were affected,” Falconer said in a post on X. “Civilians must always be protected, and diplomats allowed to do their jobs.”

Israel has yet to comment on the wave of condemnation from European countries and the UN after it acknowledged that its forces fired near a group of diplomats in the northern West Bank city today.

Earlier, the Israeli military said that it “regrets the inconvenience caused”.

The head of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warns that life-saving supplies are quickly dwindling inside Gaza as Israeli forces largely maintain an aid blockade, preventing only a trickle of food and other essentials into the enclave.

“Children in Gaza continue to be killed, injured and deprived of aid,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell said in a post on X.

“The few trucks that have entered with life-saving supplies are nowhere near sufficient and have yet to reach those in desperate need. We’re running out of supplies inside Gaza, and we’re running out of time.”

Vaniya Agrawal, a former Microsoft engineer, says she was fired for protesting against what she says is the company’s ties to Israel.

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the Israeli army for opening fire on an international diplomatic delegation visiting the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, Doha described the incident as a “blatant violation” of international laws, conventions, and diplomatic norms. The ministry urged the international community to fulfil its moral and legal obligations by holding Israel accountable for its violations.
