TEL AVIV — Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Israel to call for an end to the Gaza war and a deal to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.The largest crowd was seen in Tel Aviv's "Hostages Square" on Sunday, with the organisers saying the government's plans to seize control of Gaza City risked the lives of around 20 hostages still being held by Hamas.A one-day national strike — part of wider protests — closed roads, offices and universities in some areas.

Novelist Sally Rooney says she will support Palestine Action despite ban
LONDON — Author Sally Rooney says she will continue to support Palestine Action, despite the group being proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK.The award-winning Irish novelist said she intends to use the earnings of her work and her public platform to "go on supporting Palestine Action and direct action against genocide".Writing in the Irish Times, she said "if this makes me a supporter of terror under UK law, so be it".Her remarks come as Home Secretary Yvette Cooper again defended the proscription of Palestine Action, saying it is more than "a regular protest group known for occasional stunts".Palestine Action is a British pro-Palestinian direct action group that was proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the government in July.Their...

Video of far-right Israeli minister taunting imprisoned Palestinian leader sparks outrage
JERUSALEM — Israel’s far-right security minister posted video footage of himself taunting the most high-profile Palestinian prisoner while visiting him in jail this week, in an encounter that has prompted outrage from supporters.The video is the first time that Marwan Barghouti, 66, who is serving five life sentences after being convicted in 2002 for his role in planning attacks that killed five Israeli civilians, has been seen for many years.

Hezbollah refuses to hand over its weapons to Lebanese government
BEIRUT — Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem threatened open confrontation on Friday if Lebanon's government proceeds with plans to disarm the militant group, calling the cabinet decision an implementation of "US-Israeli orders."The Lebanese Council of Ministers approved a decision last week requiring the army to urgently develop a disarmament plan and implement it before year-end, marking the most severe challenge to Hezbollah since the civil war ended in 1990."The decision is dangerous and exposes the country to a major crisis," Qassem said during a televised speech in Baalbek. "It strips the resistance and Lebanon of defensive weapons during aggression."Qassem vowed Hezbollah would not surrender its weapons and warned of armed conflict, if not outright...

Humanitarian groups call on Israel to end 'weaponization of aid' in Gaza
JERUSALEM — More than 100 organizations have signed a joint letter calling on Israel to stop the "weaponisation of aid" into Gaza, as "starvation deepens".Humanitarian groups, including Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), say they are increasingly being told they are "not authorized" to deliver aid, unless they comply with the stricter Israeli regulations.Groups risk being banned if they "delegitimize" the state of Israel or do not provide detailed information about Palestinian staff, the letter says.Israel denies there are restrictions on aid and says the rules, introduced in March, ensure relief work is carried out in line with Israel's "national interests".According to the joint letter, most major international...
