From diplomacy to soccer, Israel is becoming a pariah on the global stage
LONDON – Israel is becoming increasingly isolated on the world stage as the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza continue, with the backlash seeping into economic, cultural and sporting arenas.International condemnation has soared since Israel announced a ground assault on Gaza City and conducted an unprecedented strike against Hamas leadership on Qatari soil. It also comes as an independent UN inquiry concluded for the first time last week that Israel had committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a finding that echoes those of other genocide experts and human rights groups, but which the Israeli government has rejected.Last week, the European Union – Israel’s biggest trading partner – proposed sanctions that would partially suspend its free trade agreement with Israel, if...

Switzerland votes again on electronic ID cards
GENEVA — Swiss voters headed to the polls Sunday to decide whether to introduce electronic identity cards, with early projections showing the electorate evenly split.It is the second national vote on the issue. A similar plan was rejected in 2021 over privacy concerns and unease that private firms would oversee the system.The revised proposal keeps the system optional and under full public control.Data would be stored on users’ smartphones instead of central servers, and authorities could only check specific details, such as proof of age or nationality.The measure has already passed both houses of parliament, and the Swiss government has urged a “Yes” vote.Citizens will still be able to use physical identity cards, which remain standard in Switzerland.Supporters argue the system...

UN sanctions reimposed on Iran a decade after nuclear deal
TEHRAN — Sweeping UN economic and military sanctions have been reimposed on Iran, 10 years after they were lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.The move came after the UK, France, and Germany activated the “snapback” mechanism, accusing Iran of “continued nuclear escalation” and non-cooperation.Iran suspended inspections of its nuclear facilities after the US and Israel bombed several nuclear sites and military bases in June.President Masoud Pezeshkian said last week that Tehran had no intention of developing nuclear weapons.Pezeshkian described the reintroduction of sanctions as “unfair, unjust, and illegal,” calling it a fresh blow to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), once hailed as a breakthrough in Western relations with Iran.The JCPOA placed limits on...
