JERUSALEM — A 300-member-strong Palestinian militia has emerged in Gaza, aiming to liberate the Strip from Hamas — and now it says it has the backing of Israel.The group, calling itself the Popular Forces, operates in eastern Rafah under the leadership of Yasser Abu Shabab, a Bedouin man in his thirties who spent years in Hamas detention for criminal activities before the 7 October attacks freed him from prison.According to comments made exclusively to Euronews, Abu Shabab’s group — not to be confused with Somalia’s Islamist extremists, Al-Shabaab — first banded together in June 2024.The Popular Forces, who also go by the moniker Anti-Terror Service, describe themselves as mere "volunteers from among the people" who protect humanitarian aid from "looting,...

LONDON — The UK and France have agreed on a new pilot scheme allowing some migrants who cross the English Channel in small boats to be returned to France – a move UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer hopes will signal a stricter stance on illegal migration.Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the plan Thursday during Macron’s state visit to London.Although limited in scope, UK officials hailed the deal as a breakthrough and said it sets a precedent that allows migrants arriving illegally to be sent back across the Channel."There is no silver bullet here, but with a united effort, new tactics and a new level of intent, we can finally turn the tables,'' Starmer told reporters at a news conference.“For the very first time, migrants arriving via small boat will...
