A group of 92 Democratic US House members has called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to launch a formal investigation into the GHF, citing serious concerns about its funding, operational conduct, and role in civilian massacres at aid distribution sites in Gaza.
The lawmakers pointed out GHF's lack of prior humanitarian experience and questioned its suitability to serve as a primary aid delivery mechanism.

Security firms employing U.S. military veterans for a controversial food distribution operation in Gaza have exposed them to the risk of criminal charges under U.S. laws against war crimes, torture, and forced deportation.
In a letter to the two firms’ CEOs, Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., and three other lawmakers said they were “horrified” by reporting about the companies’ “deadly” security operations on behalf of the GHF.

The Atlantic on Thursday reported that a growing rift has emerged between Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump has become increasingly unsettled by the public backlash over "Israel’s" starvation siege on Gaza.
While Trump had previously offered Netanyahu a symbolic boost by attacking Israeli prosecutors handling his corruption case, and Netanyahu returned the favor by nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Unknown parent • • •@HarriettMB The EHRC are about to issue their latest 'guidance' to Parliament
It will go directly to the Minister for Equality who will either reject it & request revisions or sign off on it
Given she's just appointed another TERF to replace Falkner she's unlikely to reject it
Once the minister signs it off it stops being 'guidance' and becomes law
No discussions, no debates or committees , no amendments, just a signature and bang it's law

It just needs Bridget Phillipsons signature
And that's it
