US Senator Mark Kelly has called on Israel to stop attacking Palestinians seeking food and aid in Gaza.

“Israel must stop these attacks on people seeking aid,” he posted on X, stressing that children are starving.

His appeal comes as medical sources report at least 85 Palestinians killed in fresh Israeli strikes.

More than 100 aid groups, including MSF, Oxfam, and Save the Children, are sounding the alarm on “mass starvation” in Gaza.

They say aid warehouses are full but blocked from reaching desperate families.

The coalition is calling for an immediate ceasefire, opening of all land crossings, and free UN-led aid deliveries. Their warning coincides with a US envoy’s European trip to discuss a potential truce and aid corridor.

The Syrian government has deployed buses to evacuate families trapped in unrest-hit Sweida.

State media showed convoys entering the southern province to transport civilians to safety. Violence has displaced thousands, with neighbouring Daraa province reporting a steady influx of fleeing families.

The US has announced it will leave UNESCO for the third time, effective December 31, 2026.

Washington cited the agency’s admission of Palestine and what it called a “globalist, ideological agenda” at odds with its “America First” policy.

A State Department spokesperson said continued membership is “not in the national interest.” The move marks another sharp break in US engagement with international institutions.

Türkiye has showcased its first hypersonic missile, the Tayfun Block-4, at the IDEF 2025 defence fair in Istanbul. Roketsan, the developer, also unveiled six other advanced systems at the event.

The Tayfun Block-4, weighing over seven tonnes, can destroy high-value targets like air defence systems and command centres from long distances.

Officials say the missile marks a major leap for Türkiye’s defence industry and long-range strike capabilities.
