Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian warehouse and farmland as West Bank attacks surge
JERUSALEM — Dozens of Israeli settlers launched arson attacks targeting a Palestinian warehouse, a Bedouin village, and farmland in the north of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.Several Palestinians were injured.The incidents were the latest in a recent surge in settler violence coinciding with the olive harvest season, when Palestinians head to their agricultural land around towns and villages.It comes just after the UN's humanitarian office said the number of violent attacks by settlers last month was the highest since it began collecting figures nearly 20 years ago.Israel has built about 160 settlements housing 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land Palestinians want, along with Gaza, for a hoped-for future state - during the 1967 Middle East war....

Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues to carry out demolitions in Khan Yunis
Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire
GAZA — Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in areas of Gaza that have remained under its control since the ceasefire with Hamas started on 10 October, satellite images reviewed by BBC Verify show.The new photos -- the latest of which was taken on 8 November -- show that entire neighbourhoods controlled by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been levelled in less than a month, apparently through demolitions.The actual number of destroyed buildings could be significantly higher, with satellite imagery for some areas being unavailable for BBC Verify's assessment.Some experts have argued that the demolitions may violate the terms of the ceasefire brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. But an IDF spokesperson told BBC Verify that it was acting "in accordance with the...

LIBREVILLE — A court in Gabon has sentenced the former first lady and the son of deposed President Ali Bongo to 20 years in jail following a two-day trial.On Tuesday night, Sylvia Bongo and Noureddin Bongo were found guilty of embezzlement and corruption after a trial that began a day earlier in their absence.They were both fined 100m CFA francs ($177,000; £135,000), with Noureddin ordered to pay an extra 1.2tn CFA francs ($2.1; £1.6bn) for financial damages suffered by the Gabonese state.They were accused of exploiting Ali Bongo's condition after he suffered a stroke in 2018 to run Gabon for their own personal profit. They denied the charges ahead of their trial, describing it as "a legal farce."Ali Bongo was ousted in an August 2023 coup led by Brice Oligui Nguema, who has since...

Thousands of NHS staff in England to lose jobs after deal approved
LONDON — Thousands of NHS staff redundancies in England will now go ahead after a deal was reached with the Treasury to allow the health service to overspend this year to cover the cost of pay-offs.The government said earlier this year 18,000 admin and managerial jobs would go with NHS England, the body that runs the NHS, being brought into the Department of Health and Social Care alongside cuts to local health boards.NHS bosses and health ministers had been in talks with the Treasury over how to pay for the £1bn one-off bill with the health service wanting extra money.The Treasury blocked that, but the BBC understands a compromise has been reached with the NHS permitted to overspend this year.As the job cuts result in savings in future years, the NHS will be expected to recoup the...

UK Health Secretary Streeting denies plotting against PM after leadership claims
LONDON — UK's Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said suggestions from the prime minister's allies that he is seeking to challenge for the leadership are "self-defeating nonsense" and has urged Sir Keir Starmer to sack whoever is briefing the media.On Tuesday evening, friends of Sir Keir had told several news outlets his job might be under immediate threat and that they were particularly suspicious of Streeting's leadership ambitions.Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, the health secretary said he could "not see any circumstances under which I would do that to our prime minister".He added that briefings to the press against him were "the worst attack on a faithful since Joe Marler was banished in The Traitors final"."Someone has definitely been watching too much Celebrity...

BANGKOK — She Zhijiang, a Chinese national accused of building an illicit gambling empire in South East Asia, is being extradited to China — ending his years-long battle against the order.He has been detained in Thailand since 2022, after the Thai police arrested him acting on a Chinese request to Interpol.China accuses She Zhijiang of running illegal online gambling rings, and this week a Thai court upheld the decision to extradite him.

Hamas wants its fighters in Rafah to be given safe passage
Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels present new obstacle to Gaza ceasefire progress
JERUSALEM — US President Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, returned to Israel on Monday, as mediators face a new obstacle in their efforts to advance negotiations on the fragile Gaza ceasefire deal to the next and more complex phase.Key sticking points remain unresolved, including Hamas's disarmament, the reconstruction and future governance of Gaza, and the deployment of an international security force to the territory.Without a timeline for the discussions, which are likely to require significant concessions from both Israel and Hamas, there are doubts that any progress can be achieved.Another challenge has emerged recently, involving scores of Hamas fighters believed to be in tunnels beneath the southern city of Rafah behind the so-called "Yellow Line",...
