Unrwa said food warehouses and distribution centres in eastern Rafah were inaccessible because of the Israeli military operation
UN halts Rafah food distribution due to shortages and hostilities
GAZA — Food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah has been suspended due to a lack of supplies and insecurity, the UN says.The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, warned its distribution center and a World Food Programme warehouse were now inaccessible because of the ongoing Israeli military action against Hamas in eastern Rafah.An estimated 810,000 of the more than a million people taking refuge in Rafah have fled since the Israeli operation began on 6 May.Unrwa also said its health centers had not received any medical supplies in the past 10 days.The news came as the US said it did not believe any of the 569 tonnes of food and other aid that had entered Gaza through a newly-completed floating pier had been distributed to Palestinians by aid organizations.On Saturday,...

Protesters disrupted Antony Blinken's testimony to the US Senate on Tuesday
US signals support for possible sanctions against ICC over Israel warrants
WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has suggested he will work with lawmakers on potential sanctions against the International Criminal Court as its prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials.Blinken told a congressional hearing he was "committed" to taking action against the "profoundly wrong-headed decision".His comments come amid a Republican push to impose sanctions on ICC officials, which may see a vote as soon as this week.The United States is not a member of the court but has backed previous prosecutions, including the ICC's arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine.At a Tuesday hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, James Risch, its top Republican, asked whether Blinken would...

Gazans ‘shackled and blindfolded’ at Israel hospital
JERUSALEM — Medical workers in Israel have told the BBC that Palestinian detainees from Gaza are routinely kept shackled to hospital beds, blindfolded, sometimes naked, and forced to wear nappies – a practice one medic said amounted to “torture”.A whistle-blower detailed how procedures in one military hospital were “routinely” carried out without painkillers, causing “an unacceptable amount of pain” to detainees.Another whistle-blower said painkillers were used “selectively” and “in a very limited way” during an invasive medical procedure on a Gazan detainee in a public hospital.He also said critically ill patients being held in makeshift military facilities were being denied proper treatment because of a reluctance by public hospitals to transfer and treat them.One...

Amal Clooney supports ICC’s decision to seek arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders
WASHINGTON — Human rights attorney Amal Clooney is among a group of legal experts who advised the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor to seek arrest warrants against the top leaders of Israel and Hamas.The panel was convened by the ICC prosecutor Karim Khan and tasked to review the evidence and legal analysis underpinning his application for warrants against three Hamas leaders and two Israeli politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.It issued a detailed legal report on Monday, which said the panel found “reasonable grounds to believe” that the individuals named in the arrest warrants have committed war crimes or crimes against humanity.Clooney, who has represented victims of mass atrocities, faced online criticism prior to her announcement for not speaking...

Iran begins days of funeral ceremonies for President Raisi as investigators probe helicopter crash
TEHRAN — Funeral ceremonies are set to begin on Tuesday for the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi following his death in a helicopter crash, as authorities probe what caused the aircraft to smash into the side of a remote mountainside during foggy weather on Sunday morning.Raisi’s death alongside other high-ranking officials, including the country’s foreign minister, has left the Islamic Republic’s hardline establishment facing an uncertain future as it navigates rising regional tensions and domestic discontent.Iran’s government has arranged multiple days of mourning culminating in a funeral later this week for the 63-year-old ultraconservative cleric who had once been seen as a potential successor to current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.Tuesday will begin with funeral...

Netanyahu denounces bid to arrest him over Gaza war
TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has angrily condemned the International Criminal Court's prosecutor for seeking arrest warrants for him alongside Hamas's leaders over alleged war crimes in the Gaza conflict.Netanyahu said he rejected with disgust that "democratic Israel" had been compared with what he called "mass murderers".Netanyahu's comments have been echoed by US President Joe Biden, who said there was no equivalence between Israel and Hamas.The chief ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, said there were reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and his Defence Minister Yoav Gallant bore criminal responsibility for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.The ICC is also seeking a warrant for Hamas's leader in Gaza,...

Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas
