UN cuts food aid for 700,000 Palestinians +++ Media: Iran summons German ambassador +++ Saudi Arabia postpones investor conference to 2027 +++ The news blog.
The number of people receiving food aid in the Gaza Strip has decreased to 1.1 million in October, down from 1.6 million previously, while in the West Bank, the number of recipients has halved to 200,000. Despite this, 1.4 million people in the Gaza Strip are still affected by acute hunger or worse food insecurity. The German ambassador to Iran has been summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry over "baseless accusations".
This comes after two men with ties to Tehran were sentenced to prison for attempting to assassinate Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews, and Volker Beck, president of the German-Israeli Society. Saudi Arabia has postponed its major investor conference, the Future Investment Initiative, due to the Iran conflict, with a new date to be announced soon.
The Egyptian parliament has delayed a vote on military intervention to support Saudi Arabia in its conflict with Yemen's Huthi rebels, citing a lack of information on the goals, duration, costs, and risks of the mission.
