JERUSALEM — Israel has ordered the entire population of Gaza City to leave, as its forces prepare to capture the north of the Gaza Strip.Israeli airstrikes have continued to destroy tower blocks, and the army says it now has operational control of 40% of the city, as ground forces prepare to fight what prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the "last important stronghold" of Hamas.Netanyahu this week said 100,000 people had left the city, but up to a million people are still living there – many in tents or shelters. Many of them say they will not – or cannot – leave.After a strike hit a tower block near his home today, Ammar Sukkar called on Hamas negotiators to come and negotiate from a tent, not from air-conditioned rooms in Qatar – and insisted he would stay in...

Von der Leyen proposes halt to all EU payments to Israel
STRASBOURG — The EU will suspend its "bilateral support" with Israel and partially suspend the trade parts of its association agreement with Tel Aviv, Von der Leyen told MEPs during her State of the Union speech.In an unusually tough-worded sequence, von der Leyen denounced a “man-made famine” in Gaza and “a clear attempt” by Israel to “undermine the two-state solution". But she also called Europe’s inability to find a response to Israel’s actions in Gaza “painful”."What is happening in Gaza is unacceptable," von der Leyen said. "Europe must lead the way just as it has done before."The war in Gaza began after Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing around 1,200 people, many of them civilians.
