Ranking Democrat on Senate Armed Services Committee says „I don‘t think the president has a plan“ on Iran

Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said Sunday that he believes the U.S. is “ in many respects, a much worse position“ in Iran and he doesn‘t believe Mr. Trump has a plan.

„We‘re in, in many respects, a much worse position,“ Reed told ABC News‘ „This Week.“ „The regime in Tehran is probably more hostile and fanatical than the one that we replaced … We have not yet resolved the issue of nuclear material in Iran. So this has been a tactical demonstration of prowess, but has not achieved the strategic goal that the president announced, and he seems not to have a plan to achieve those goals.“

Spain, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Uruguay condemn ‚dangerous precedent‘ set by US attack on Venezuela

The statement reads:

„We express our profound concern and rejection of the military actions carried out unilaterally on Venezuelan territory, which contravene fundamental principles of international law, particularly the prohibition of the use and threat of force, and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations. These actions constitute an extremely dangerous precedent for peace and regional security and put the civilian population at risk.

We reiterate that the situation in Venezuela must be resolved exclusively through peaceful means, by means of dialogue, negotiation, and respect for the will of the Venezuelan people in all its expressions, without external interference and in accordance with international law. We reaffirm that only an inclusive political process, led by Venezuelans, can lead to a democratic and sustainable solution that respects human dignity.

We reaffirm the character of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace, built on mutual respect, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and non-intervention, and we call for regional unity, beyond political differences, in the face of any action that jeopardises regional stability. We also urge the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Member States of the relevant multilateral mechanisms to use their good offices to contribute to de-escalating tensions and preserving regional peace.

We express our concern regarding any attempt at government control, administration, or external appropriation of natural or strategic resources, which is incompatible with international law and threatens the political, economic, and social stability of the region.

Gaza: Drohung der israelischen Regierung, NGOs die Registrierung zu verweigern, ist ein schwerer Schlag für humanitäre Hilfe

Jerusalem/Berlin, 2. Januar 2026. Die Drohung der israelischen Regierung, Ärzte ohne Grenzen und anderen internationalen Nichtregierungsorganisationen (INGOs) die Registrierung zu verweigern, ist ein zynischer und kalkulierter Versuch, die Organisationen daran zu hindern, im Gazastreifen und im Westjordanland Hilfe zu leisten. Damit verstößt Israel gegen seine Verpflichtungen nach dem humanitären Völkerrecht.

Der Zivilbevölkerung medizinische Hilfe zu verweigern, kann unter keinen Umständen akzeptiert werden. Es ist empörend, humanitäre Hilfe als politisches Instrument oder als Mittel kollektiver Bestrafung zu missbrauchen. Die israelischen Behörden verschärfen damit ihre schweren Angriffe auf die humanitäre Hilfe und bedrohen direkt die medizinische Versorgung der Menschen im Gazastreifen und im Westjordanland.

Ärzte ohne Grenzen weist die Vorwürfe, die von den israelischen Behörden in den vergangenen Tagen erhoben worden sind, entschieden zurück. Die medizinische Hilfsorganisation würde niemals wissentlich Personen beschäftigen, die an militärischen Aktivitäten beteiligt sind – dies widerspricht ihren grundlegenden Werten und ihrer Ethik. Die Berichte darüber, was Teams von Ärzte ohne Grenzen mit eigenen Augen in Gaza sehen – Tod, Zerstörung und die Folgen genozidaler Gewalt – mögen schwer erträglich sein, die Verantwortung dafür liegt aber bei jenen, die diese Gräueltaten begehen, und nicht bei jenen, die darüber Zeugnis ablegen.

Israel’s threat to withhold registration for NGOs: A grave blow to humanitarian aid in Gaza and the West Bank

Israel’s threat to withhold registration from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and other international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organisations from providing services in Gaza and the West Bank, Palestine, in breach of Israel‘s obligations under international humanitarian law.

Denying medical assistance to civilians is unacceptable under any circumstances and it is appalling to use humanitarian aid as a tool of policy or collective punishment. Now is the time for action. Israel is escalating its grave attack on humanitarian response, directly threatening medical care and humanitarian aid to civilians.

MSF unequivocally refutes the allegations made by the Israeli authorities in recent days. MSF would never knowingly employ anyone involved in military activities, which contradicts our core values and ethics. If the descriptions of what our teams see with their own eyes in Gaza – death, destruction and the human consequences of genocidal violence – are unpalatable to some, the fault lies with those committing these atrocities, not with those who speak of them.

Outrageous suspension of numerous aid agencies from Gaza

Delivered by
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk

At
Geneva

Israel’s suspension of numerous aid agencies from Gaza is outrageous.

This is the latest in a pattern of unlawful restrictions on humanitarian access, including Israel’s ban on UNRWA (the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East), as well as attacks on Israeli and Palestinian NGOs amid broader access issues faced by the UN and other humanitarians.

I urge all States, in particular those with influence, to take urgent steps and insist that Israel immediately allows aid to get into Gaza unhindered. Such arbitrary suspensions make an already intolerable situation even worse for the people of Gaza.

The unthinkable in Gaza City has already begun

“This unthinkable is not looming – it is already here. The escalation is underway.

“The collapse of essential services is leaving the youngest and most vulnerable fighting for survival. Only 44 of the 92 UNICEF-supported outpatient nutrition treatment centers in Gaza City are still functioning, depleting thousands of malnourished children of more than half of the lifelines they depend on to fight famine.

“Malnutrition and famine are weakening children’s bodies as displacement strips them of shelter and care, and bombardments threaten their every move. This is what famine in a war zone looks like and it was everywhere I looked in Gaza City.

Pope Leo XIV appeals for Gaza: ‚Allow aid to enter, end the hostilities‘

„I renew my appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to put an end to the hostilities, whose heartbreaking price is paid by the children, elderly, and the sick.“

Pope Leo XIV made that appeal toward the conclusion of his first General Audience in St. Peter‘s Square on 21 May.

In his remarks to Italian pilgrims, he said, „The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful.“
