European Council President Charles Michel
Like-minded EU countries should move together to recognize State of Palestine, says Charles Michel
BRUSSELS — European Union countries willing to recognize the State of Palestine should move in tandem in order to "trigger significant progress" in building peace in the war-torn region, European Council President Charles Michel has said.Speaking to journalists in Brussels this week, Michel floated "coordination at EU level" among those member states ready to formally recognize a Palestinian sovereign state, a move that has gained traction since the endorsement of Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Malta last month.Michel, who is tasked with forging consensus among all 27 EU leaders, suggested other like-minded countries outside the bloc could also join the initiative.While nine EU member states already formally recognise the Palestinians' right to statehood - including...

Biden vows 'ironclad' support for Israel amid Iran attack fears
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has promised Israel "ironclad" US support amid fears that Tehran could launch reprisals for an attack that killed senior Iranians.Biden warned that Iran is threatening to launch a "significant attack" after Israel struck the Iranian consulate in Syria ten days ago."We're going to do all we can to protect Israel's security," he added.Earlier on Wednesday, Iran's leader said the Israeli attack in Damascus was equivalent to an attack on Iran itself."When they attacked our consulate area, it was like they attacked our territory," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised speech."The evil regime must be punished, and it will be punished."Thirteen people were killed in the 1 April attack on the...

EU must suspend ties with Israel to prevent crimes of genocide in Gaza, UN rapporteur says
GAZA — The European Union should suspend its trade and institutional ties with Israel to deter war crimes that amount to genocide in the Gaza Strip, the UN's special rapporteur on Palestine has said.Francesca Albanese — who recently concluded that the threshold of the crime of genocide has been met Gaza — told Euronews on Wednesday that the EU has "an obligation" to suspend its Association Agreement with Israel given that its offensive violates that agreement's provisions on human rights."Israel has the political, financial, economic means to continue operating business as usual. It has no incentive whatsoever to change conduct," Albanese explained."Europe is the main trading partner — which accounts I think for 30% of Israel's trade — so it...

US transfers thousands of seized Iranian guns, rocket launchers and munitions to Ukraine
WASHINGTON — The US transferred thousands of machine guns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition seized from Iran to Ukraine last week, US Central Command announced on Tuesday.Ukraine has been suffering from shortages of weapons and munitions on the battlefield in its war against Russia, with the US unable to send more equipment from its own stockpiles until more funding is approved by Congress.CENTCOM said the materiel transferred to Ukraine is enough to equip one Ukrainian brigade — around 4,000 personnel — with small-arms rifles. “These weapons will help Ukraine defend against Russia’s invasion,” CENTCOM said in a statement.The munitions were originally seized by the US military and its partners “from four separate transiting...

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has made five trips to Israel since the 7 October attack
Biden pressure on Israel not enough, say dissenting US officials
WASHINGTON — President Biden's pressure on Israel after last week's deadly attack on aid workers did not go far enough and will fail to stem the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, according to current and former US officials who have spoken to the BBC.They said internal dissent in government was growing and called for tougher action on arms transfers.Israel said it would open new aid routes after President Biden threatened to reassess policy following Israeli strikes that killed seven workers from food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), including a US citizen.But the tougher line was "too little, too late", said Annelle Sheline, an official working in human rights who quit the state department in protest a fortnight ago.She said the White House "could have done this...

Netanyahu making a 'mistake' on Gaza, says Biden
WASHINGTON — US President Joe Biden has said he believes that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making a "mistake" in his handling of Gaza."I think what he's doing is a mistake. I don't agree with his approach," he said in an interview.He said Gaza should have "total access to all food and medicine" for the next six to eight weeks.Last week he warned ongoing US support for the war depended on Israel allowing in more food and medicine.Israel has denied impeding the entry of aid or its distribution inside Gaza, and has accused UN agencies on the ground of failing to get the aid that is allowed in to the people who need it.Weeks of talks have failed to produce a ceasefire agreement but international pressure is growing.The hour-long...
