00:00The Palestinian resistance movement claimed on Thursday that US President Trump's abiding
00:22threats to the Palestinians are upholding Israel's decision on not complying with
00:26a ceasefire deal.
00:27A senior Palestinian authority confirmed, having held a meeting with a special envoy
00:31of the White House.
00:33The leader further asserted the talks left a positive impression, although Washington
00:37has just focused on releasing Israeli hostages, namely those with US citizenship.
00:43In this context, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt confirmed that the Trump administration
00:48engaged in direct talks with Hamas, saying the discussions align with US interests.
00:54The encounter, facilitated by Qatari intermediaries, has been the first ever since 1997 and breaks
01:01the US rule of not engaging in direct talks with those that Washington labelled as terrorist
01:07groups, as is the case of Hamas.
01:13The United Nations lately warned of impeding food shortage in the Gaza Strip.
01:19The United Nations alerted that current food stocks will just supply less than two week
01:23operations of bakeries and kitchens, posing at risk the food security of thousands of
01:28people.
01:29The entity noted that it may be necessary to reduce the size of rations to cover the
01:34needs of more people, and to fuel available to maintain bakeries and food transport.
01:40Meanwhile, the Palestinian Health Ministry's latest briefing accounted Israeli offensive
01:45against Gaza Strip for over 48,440 deaths and 111,845 injured.
01:59The Children's Fund and the United Nations World Food Program warned about the crisis
02:05facing the population of Gaza after Israel's decision to prevent humanitarian aid from
02:10entering the territory.
02:11In a statement, UNICEF said that if medical supplies are not delivered to the territory,
02:17routine vaccinations will stop, which will have a severe impact on children.
