Tent camp sheltering Palestinians displaced by the Israeli military offensive set up in Gaza City
Netanyahu divides Israelis and allies with plan for new military push in Gaza
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial plans for a new military push in the Gaza Strip have raised warnings from the army leadership, opposition from hostage families and concerns that more Palestinians will be killed.They also risk isolating his country even further.In a meeting of the security cabinet that lasted 10 hours, ministers approved proposals for the "takeover of Gaza City", which is likely to be the first phase for the Israeli military to assume full control of Gaza, as Netanyahu says it is his intention.A statement released by his office did not use the word "occupation" but, effectively, that is what the plans mean.It is not clear when the operations, which could take months, will start, as the military will have to...

‘The tide is shifting’: Massive Australian protest over Gaza crisis seen as a sign of growing global alarm
BRISBANE — When Australia wants to put on a show, it turns to the sweeping expanse of Sydney Harbour, home to the Opera House and the iconic bridge that connects the city with its northern suburbs.So, when organizers of usually small pro-Palestinian protests held every two weeks since Israel’s 2023 invasion of Gaza detected a shift in community attitudes towards the grinding conflict – at home and abroad – they chose the bridge to make a global statement.“We thought that the kind of bold and somewhat audacious idea that we were going to march over Sydney Harbour Bridge would capture the imaginations of everyone out there who was horrified by what we were seeing,” said protest organizer Josh Lees, from the Palestinian Action Group.The group had been emboldened by artists making...

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As Trump’s deadline for Russia comes due, White House preps for possible summit with Putin
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s deadline for Russia to end its war in Ukraine or suffer severe economic punishment expires Friday, but it’s unclear how he plans to proceed amid new efforts toward a summit with Vladimir Putin and delicate trade negotiations with China.Trump promised earlier this week to apply new sanctions on Russia even as he questioned how effective they would be. The White House said Wednesday he still intended to slap “secondary sanctions” on countries that continue to purchase Russian energy.But by Thursday — after he initiated preparations to try and meet Putin face-to-face — he was less committal.“It’s going to be up to him,” Trump said, referring to Putin, when asked whether his deadline still stands and the new measures would take hold.The...

BANGKOK — State prosecutors in Thailand have formally indicted 23 individuals and companies on charges related to the collapse of a Bangkok office building that was destroyed after an earthquake, killing at least 92 people.The partially built high-rise, which was to house the new State Audit Office, was the only one in Thailand to completely collapse on 28 March due to the 7.7 magnitude earthquake, which had its epicentre in neighbouring Myanmar.Those indicted include the lead contractors for the project: Italian-Thai Development Co. and its Chinese joint venture partner for the project, the China Railway No. 10 company.Italian-Thai Development's president, Premchai Karnasuta, and China Railway No. 10's local director, Zhang Chuanling, were also indicted along with others,...

Most of these people do odd jobs such as cleaning, garbage-picking and driving in Gurugram's rich complexes
India's immigration raids send ripples through slums and skyscrapers alike
DELHI — In Gurugram, an upscale suburb just outside Delhi, gleaming SUVs, futuristic skyscrapers and neat apartments stand in stark contrast to nearby mosquito swarms, trash heaps and tarpaulin shanties.Inside the gated compounds live some of India's richest, while in the slums nearby live poor migrant workers — mostly domestic helpers, garbage-pickers and daily-wage workers — who keep the affluence going.Last month, local authorities rounded up hundreds of these workers, most of whom say they are Bengali-speaking Muslims from India's West Bengal state, in a "verification" drive targeting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.The suspects were detained and kept at "holding centres" where they were asked to provide documents to prove their citizenship. Many allege...

Israel's security cabinet approves Netanyahu's plan to occupy Gaza City
TEL AVIV — Israel's security cabinet has approved plans to take over Gaza City in the north of the enclave. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced the plans after senior security cabinet officials convened for hours late on Thursday and into the early hours of Friday to debate the controversial issue.The decision marks another significant escalation in Israel's 22-month long military offensive on the Strip, which has already killed at least 61,258 Palestinians, accoridng to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.The gruelling war has also internally displaced Gaza's 2 million population, many several times, reduced the territory to rubble, with the UN estimating that more than 60% of buildings and critical infrastructure having been destroyed, and pushed most...

Russian drones hunt civilians as Putin zeroes in on Ukraine’s Kherson
KHERSON — Russia has launched a new bid to exert control over the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson by threatening key access roads with its drones and trying to split it in two by striking a vital bridge.On Sunday, a wave of airstrikes damaged a key bridge between Kherson’s island, Korabel, and the main city, sparking a widespread effort to evacuate the estimated 1,800 Ukrainian civilians who still live there. Russian forces appear not to have targeted the evacuation effort over the past three days, according to locals and rescuers, a rare moment of respite from the daily barbaric drone strikes on civilians across the city of recent months. Later Wednesday, videos posted online showed significant Russian strikes had resumed near the bridge and on the island, where some Ukrainain...

Relatives of Israeli hostages held by Hamas sail towards Gaza, calling for an end to the war.
Hostage families sail toward Gaza calling for Israel to end the war
JERUSALEM — Families of some of the Israeli hostages still held in Gaza have sailed towards the Palestinian enclave on Thursday, in a desperate attempt to put pressure on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as it contemplates expanding the war in Gaza.The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, as well as the opposition and a large part of the Israeli public, are strongly against the expansion of the operation, arguing it would put their loved ones at even more risk.As the flotilla set off from the port of Ashkelon in southern Israel, Lior Horev from the hostage families forum told CNN the sailing was “an SOS call.”“Unfortunately, we cannot enter Gaza and get our loved ones back home, but...this is a mayday call to the Israeli government,” he said.Israel’s...

US federal judge blocks Trump's birthright order nationwide
WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Maryland ruled that US President Donald Trump cannot withhold citizenship from people born to people in the United States illegally or temporarily, issuing the fourth court decision blocking Trump’s birthright citizenship order since a key Supreme Court ruling in June.US District Judge Deborah Boardman’s preliminary injunction was expected after she said last month that she would issue such an order if an appeals court returned the case to her. The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to her late in July.Since June, two other district courts, in addition to an appellate panel of judges, have also blocked Trump’s birthright ban nationwide, which he passed on his first day in office through an executive order.Trump’s executive order...

Belgian court prohibits transit of military equipment to Israel
BRUSSELS — A court in Belgium has ordered the Flemish government to stop the transit of military equipment to Israel, following the discovery of hardware in the port of Antwerp earlier this year.The Court of First Instance in Brussels ordered the regional government to block the Antwerp shipment and prohibit any future transit of military equipment to Israel, which faces growing criticism in the West for its handling of the war in Gaza.The judge also imposed a fine of €50,000 for any arms shipment sent to Israel.The judgement came in response to a complaint lodged in June by four Flemish associations.Speaking to Euronews, Lichen Ullmann, the coordinator of the Vredesactie movement, which was involved in the complaint, explained that the containers found in Antwerp "included...
