Nut graf: Spokespersons at the briefing emphasized that the immediate focus is on ending hostilities where possible, increasing safe aid deliveries and securing the release of hostages; they declined to preview sensitive operational options or to speculate about Israeli plans reported in the media.

Body: The spokesperson said the administration is \"determined to getting as much aid as possible into Gaza without it being looted by Hamas,\" and repeatedly tied the priority to both humanitarian outcomes and the goal of releasing hostages. He reiterated comments attributed to the president that \"the fastest way to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages,\" language used at the podium to describe the administration's public posture.

Reporters asked whether discussions with Israeli officials included any U.S. approval of Israeli plans to annex parts of Gaza. The spokesperson declined to provide such a readout, saying he had \"nothing further to add\" beyond a colleague's readout and that he would not speculate on where diplomatic discussions may go.

When asked whether there were operational plans tied to the special envoy's trip, the spokesperson declined to discuss potentially sensitive options from the podium, saying only that the envoy was meeting to discuss next steps, with humanitarian access and hostages among topics discussed.

Ending: The department said the special envoy's trip signaled the priority the administration assigns to moving humanitarian assistance into Gaza and obtaining the release of hostages, but it provided no operational details from the podium.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Department of State Press Briefing - July 31, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a State Department briefing, the spokesperson said special-envoy travel and talks aim to increase humanitarian deliveries to Gaza while preventing looting and to press for the release of hostages; the spokesperson declined to discuss operational details or allegations about annexation.","taxTitle","US Department of State","taxId",9719,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":78,"_47":79,"_49":80,"_51":81,"_53":82,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":83,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":84,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6147558,"U.S. Pledges $52 Million to World Food Programme for Emergency Food Assistance",0,126000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5520649-3cacdadc964406aed3c1ae34bbc13818&start=126&end=126","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5520649-3cacdadc964406aed3c1ae34bbc13818/thumbnail_126000.jpg","/articles/6147558/US-Pledges-52-Million-to-World-Food-Programme-for-Emergency-Food-Assistance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147558-5eddcb8457a8f07133960886a5785e88/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642895&Signature=iJQxqphPG-UR6cYMJEKeMBc4wpftqDmKrigu2MvECKwF6ckUOx7Q~RefXPTB~2Edo7lB5A6qN4W8kHyQsse2ItRwEmd4ZCWJeB5dv5w-UQ6UUQMcuIADTwmqEvE2mnv5hVE-VImbtdtC~NIjOghjqIs~v8cEFLUNxKpSIgJSOdrGlYn28l~mCL85NsSBYTK~fAkLM1bTCuS5qm1qgAurhasdDMntKmf71gWP--cDj8pV380pCi0zxl0~IfojGCdM0EnXtJbq0WYt3a-OPED3mWllKT~EVwLlUBwqLmfRBQB4jgy4f8ZbMv0M9I4VTINgS417VXJImi0ePdskL6WcKw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lede: The United States is providing $52,000,000 to the World Food Programme (WFP) to deliver emergency food assistance to vulnerable populations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti and Djibouti, a State Department spokesperson said.

Nut graf: The award will fund distribution of 12,702 metric tons of commodities — including yellow split peas, rice, vegetable oil and Super Cereal Plus — from U.S. pre-positioning warehouses in Houston and Djibouti to support more than 1.9 million vulnerable people, the spokesperson said.

Body: \"The United States is the largest donor of humanitarian food assistance globally, and the department continues to call on other donors to provide additional contributions to address global humanitarian needs,\" Tommy said. He listed the commodity types and the prepositioning warehouses in Houston and Djibouti as staging points for the distributions.

The spokesperson described the award as intended to deliver assistance from American farmers and producers to people in need and urged other donors to add contributions to meet global needs. He referred reporters to the department's announcement for further implementation details.

Ending: The department said it would provide additional information as available and emphasized the need for donor contributions to address broader humanitarian requirements worldwide.","A State Department spokesperson said the U.S. will provide $52 million to the World Food Programme to distribute food to vulnerable people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti and Djibouti, delivering 12,702 metric tons from U.S. pre-positioning warehouses.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":92,"_51":93,"_53":94,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":95,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":96,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6147563,"U.S. Says It Sanctioned Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes Over Alleged Abuses",260,14000,274000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5520649-3cacdadc964406aed3c1ae34bbc13818&start=14&end=274","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5520649-3cacdadc964406aed3c1ae34bbc13818/thumbnail_14000.jpg","/articles/6147563/US-Says-It-Sanctioned-Brazilian-Supreme-Court-Justice-Alexandre-de-Moraes-Over-Alleged-Abuses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6147563-c4c0c514183fd941eff5cafce357c991/orig.mp4?Expires=1770642895&Signature=g1WxD~RI9g3MjGPhCxwd1RipN2D--q8UtaMHVagBZTMQdvQtKlVuAVwbOFGCoRL1aRumbeRnNqxp62eLs8VEoJP5SNMji6cou0wpggqGoslcgeHY8MPq1QXWIHeyLpkMHE257lItZ6SKs0XebG4LxR3QRN0DXoxzoQKXEajfSpZcihHcvEL2MDCERGurk3yjdV9K4MZwAcl04UwEV22xBEykvFF4oD0R~0iephpxrw6k5HDfnPTQFsBrnDefji8A2fjeIVrWs9MsfRoMbAlJKdxjlbTsqTtUwdnt5EfO1-GRLu3eDBsPMY4zGXompYAr6K5LF258bMWaKbry0GHIxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lede: The State Department said the United States announced sanctions against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, accusing him of abusing judicial authority to silence critics and authorize unjust pretrial detentions.

Nut graf: The department said the judge issued secret orders compelling online platforms, including U.S. social media companies, to ban accounts for protected speech and that the actions affected U.S. persons and companies; officials declined to preview additional sanctions.

Body: \"Moraes is an activist judge that abused his authority by engaging in a targeted and politically motivated effort designed to silence political critics through the issuance of secret orders compelling online platforms, including US social media companies, banning the accounts of individuals for posting protected speech,\" State Department spokesperson Tommy said from the podium. He said Moraes also \"authorized unjust pretrial detentions and undermine[d] freedom of expression.\"

Tommy identified July 31 as the date Secretary Rubio announced the sanctions. When asked whether other Brazilian individuals might face similar sanctions or whether broader visa restrictions were expected, Tommy declined to preview further actions from the podium, saying only that the department takes the matter seriously.

Nut graf: The action follows a review period that ended in January 2025 and is the first such report under the current administration; the department said the measure is one of several policy options available under U.S. law and that waivers may be considered on a case-by-case basis consistent with U.S. national security interests.

Body: \"This is a biannual review that happens twice a year in every single year,\" State Department spokesperson Tommy said, describing the timing and process that produced the report. He said the review covered the period ending in January 2025 and that the report concluded the PLO and PA were not in compliance with statutory commitments cited in the review.

Tommy told reporters the specific action being implemented is a visa denial for PLO members and PA officials. \"These sanctions won't post denial of visas for PLO members and PA officials. And again, to stress, a waiver may be considered on a case by case basis consistent with our national security interests,\" he said.

When pressed about whether the administration would name individuals or the number or level of officials affected, Tommy said the policy provides for case-by-case consideration and declined to list names or numbers from the podium. He also declined to speculate about private diplomatic consultations with Arab states or about how the action might affect bilateral engagement beyond saying the department will consider waivers as allowed by the report.

Reporter questions at the briefing linked the timing of the announcement to recent international diplomatic moves and asked whether the action was retaliatory for other countries recognizing Palestinian statehood; Tommy said the visa restrictions derive from the biannual compliance finding and are not framed as retaliation for any other country's actions.

Ending: The department provided a media note and the biannual report to Congress; the spokesperson said further details and any individual case determinations could be handled through the waiver process described in the report.","A State Department spokesperson said a biannual review found the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority out of compliance, and the United States will deny visas to PLO members and PA officials while allowing case-by-case waivers.","actionData","errors"]
