EU stops short of calling for ceasefire in Gaza ahead of UN vote as Gaza crisis escalates
BRUSSELS — European Union leaders have stopped short of calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, instead appealing for humanitarian “pauses” to provide aid, as the UN warned its operations were being “paralyzed” by Israel’s bombardment of the besieged enclave.The communique, released after meetings Thursday in Brussels, follows several failed attempts by the UN Security Council to pass a resolution on the Israel-Hamas war, with member states preparing to vote on another draft resolution – this time put forward by Jordan on behalf of Arab states – on Friday.Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told diplomats gathered at the United Nations Assembly Hall that “collective punishment is not self-defense.” The resolution calls for a “cessation of hostilities,” the release of...

Israel-Gaza: EU leaders set to back humanitarian pauses
BRUSSELS — EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday for a summit overshadowed by Hamas's war with Israel and the EU's failure to project a united front.For weeks, the European Union's stance on the war has been clouded with mixed messages, diplomatic gaffes and conflicting national views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.But after days of disagreement, EU leaders aim to project a united front.They are expected to back a call for humanitarian pauses in the fighting.European Council President Charles Michel says the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza is of grave concern and the leaders are keen to facilitate access to food, water, medical care, fuel and shelter.They hope that will create safer conditions for the release of more than 200 hostages seized by Hamas...

Chancellor Olaf Scholz
New German legislation aims to make it easier to deport asylum seekers
BERLIN — The German Cabinet has granted its approval to a legislative proposal on Wednesday, with the aim of streamlining the deportation process for unsuccessful asylum-seekers. Chancellor Olaf Scholz is actively working to address the issue of migration in the political landscape.This draft legislation, contingent upon parliamentary endorsement for implementation, encompasses several key provisions. Notably, it extends the maximum period of pre-deportation detention from 10 days to 28 days and specifically expedites the deportation of individuals affiliated with criminal organisations.The proposed legislation further grants the authorities the power to conduct residential searches to ascertain an individual's identity definitively and, in some instances, eliminates the obligation...

Ukraine war: Forced evacuations as Russian attacks intensify
KYIV — Ukraine has started the forced evacuation of around 1,000 children from areas near to the front line as Russia intensifies attacks.Parents have been told they must move their families to safety from 31 settlements in Kherson and Donetsk regions.Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.Ukrainian officials have ordered such evacuations before when fighting has intensified.Officials say many children are living under near constant shelling and insist it's now far too dangerous for them to remain at home.Accompanied by police officers —with the power to force families to flee — they're now going door to door to persuade parents to leave with their children.Kyiv has promised families safe passage to safer parts of the country where they'll...

KYIV — As Russian missiles shatter the town of Avdiivka, Hanna is desperate to escape. But her elderly mother refuses to leave.“I can’t leave her,” Hanna tells us over the phone. “She said she wanted to sleep in her own bed. She’s 71 and has problems with her legs. If she stays alone, she can’t get water or wood for heating.”Holed up precariously in a fifth floor flat, living under near constant bombardment and air strikes, they’re among the last remaining residents of Avdiivka.This strategically important and fiercely contested town lies right on the front line in eastern Ukraine.Most people have fled. There’s been fighting here since 2014, but since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of last February, the population has shrunk from more than 30,000 to just...

Sweden closer to NATO membership after Erdogan sends accession protocol to Turkish parliament
STOCKHOLM — Sweden inched a step closer to joining NATO on Monday after Turkey’s president sent accession protocols to parliament.Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted both Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership but the former’s entry had been stymied by Turkey.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s sign off on the accession protocols comes after months of delays but it is unclear how long the process will take.Erdogan’s proposal must make its way out of a parliamentary commission and then be opened up for a general vote on the main floor of the assembly where the Turkish president and his allies have the majority needed to ratify Sweden’s bid.Finland, which applied for membership in May 2022 along with Sweden, joined NATO in April 2023.Erdogan accused Sweden of being...
