US-Israeli Gaza genocide 

Israeli forces keep pounding the besieged Gaza Strip with fresh air and artillery strikes, killing 113 civilians in a single day. Tcivilians were killed after Israeli aircraft bombed a family home in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City. Four others, including 3 children, were killed in an airstrike on a tent west of Gaza City. Several Palestinians were also killed in airstrikes on tents sheltering displaced people in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, and the al-Mawasi area of Rafah, in central and southern Gaza. Israeli forces also opened fire on people waiting for aid northwest of Rafah, killing three civilians and injuring more than 50 others. According to local sources, more than 30 Palestinians waiting for food aid were killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday, increasing the total toll to nearly 2,340. six Palestinians, including one child, also died from malnutrition, raising the toll from Israel’s starvation policy to 367, including one-hundred-31 children. The death toll from the regime’s genocide is near 63,750, with more than 161,240 others injured.

Israel expansionist policy  

A senior Hamas official has strongly condemned a far-right Israeli minister’s “aggressive” remarks about imposing the regime’s sovereignty over most of the occupied West Bank. Abdul-Hakim Hanini called Bezalel Smotrich’s statements as a clear evidence of Israel’s fascist and expansionist agenda. Hanini said Israel's settlement plans and projects will fail to provide the security the regime claims to seek. He added that such plans will only lead to more confrontation and resistance from the Palestinian people. Hanini stressed that no usurping regime can secure a future on the Palestinian land, no matter how cruel and oppressive it behaves. He noted that the Palestinian people will remain steadfast on their land and adhere to their national and historic rights. The Hamas official said Israel’s schemes to deprive the Palestinians of their right to establish an independent state with al-Quds as its capital are doomed to failure. 

Iran-IAEA relations 

Iran's foreign minister says a new framework should be worked out in order to make further cooperation between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency possible. Abbas Araghchi said in view of the new developments that have taken place with regard to Iran's peaceful nuclear program, Iran and the IAEA are negotiating to formulate a fresh framework for their future cooperation. He said the nuclear agency has admitted that the new developments have made such a framework necessary. Araghchi said negotiations on this framework are ongoing, and as long as they have not reached a conclusive result, there will be no cooperation between Iran and the IAEA. In early August, Araghchi had criticized the IAEA for its “poor conduct” before and after the “illegal and brutal” US-Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which he described as “the gravest violation of international law.” He stressed that in view of the new realities, there is a need to set up a new framework for cooperation with the agency, because the previous one does not work anymore.
