“There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at an event Sunday. “We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza - otherwise, there would be no Gazans.”

The UN’s World Food Program said in a statement it has enough food stockpiled to feed all of Gaza for about three months, and would immediately begin to do so.

It added, “all ships belonging to any company that deals with the ports of the Israeli enemy, regardless of the nationality of that company, and in any location within the reach of our armed forces.”

In a statement, the group said it has “decided to escalate their military support operations and begin implementing the fourth phase of the naval blockade” against Israel.

“We need to look for this solution, we need to find this gunpowder, quickly master it and use it for a speedy victory. Because sooner or later, we are going to find that we simply don’t have enough people to fight.”

“The biggest risk of an attritional trench war is that it can drag on for years and wear down the Ukrainian state,” he said.

“The simple fact is that we see everything the enemy is doing and they see everything we are doing. In order for us to break this deadlock, we need something new, like the gunpowder which the Chinese invented and which we are still using to kill each other,” he added.

Zaluzhny said he has studied trench warfare from WWI, noting “that is exactly where we are because, just like then, the level of our technological development today has put both us and our enemies in a stupor.”

“There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough,” by Russia, he said. “Just like in the First World War we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate.”

“Both President Trump and I remain engaged with our respective counterparts for each country and are monitoring the situation very closely,” he said late Sunday. “We want this conflict to end as soon as possible.”

The US, which pushed for a rapid peace deal, has threatened increased tariffs by 01 August if fighting did not case. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was involved in pushing for the ceasefire, speaking with top officials in both countries over the weekend.

Chinese diplomats attended the discussions as observers, Malaysia said.

Both nations have said they intend to hold to the ceasefire, but both have also noted that the conditions on the ground and actions by the other would dictate whether or not fighting resumes.

Meanwhile, the US and EU agreed to a 15% baseline tariff on most EU products over the weekend. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met with US President Donald Trump in Scotland to finalize the deal.

"15% is not to be underestimated, but it is the best we could get,” she said.

The outlet wrote, “Beijing and Washington are expected to extend their tariff truce by another three months at trade talks in Stockholm beginning on Monday.” This has not been confirmed by the US or China.

The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post has reported that tariffs are expected to be put on hold for another 90 days during the discussions, in order to buy more time for negotiations.

Chinese authorities have threatened to block the deal if a Chinese firm does not have equal ownership with BlackRock and MSC, who initiated the deal with CKH.

The investor, multiple sources have said, is China’s COSCO Shipping Corporation.

"The company has stated on several occasions that it will not proceed with any transaction that does not have the approval of all relevant authorities," CK Hutchison said in a statement.
