Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Netanyahu publicly rejects US push for Palestinian state
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told the United States that he opposes the establishment of a Palestinian state once the conflict in Gaza comes to an end.In a news conference, a defiant Netanyahu vowed to press on with the offensive in Gaza "until complete victory": the destruction of Hamas and return of the remaining Israeli hostages, adding that it could take "many more months".With almost 25,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, and 85% of the Strip's population displaced, Israel is under intense pressure to rein in its offensive and engage in meaningful talks over a sustainable end to the war.Israel's allies, including the US - and many of its foes - have urged a revival of the...

US launches fourth round of strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen
WASHINGTON — The US has carried out a fourth round of strikes on Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen, Pentagon officials confirmed on Wednesday night.Some 14 Houthi missiles, which the US says may have been intended for attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, were targeted by American forces.Centcom — the US Middle East command — said the sites were struck by Tomahawk missiles fired from US Navy vessels.The strikes come as the US designated the Houthis as "global terrorists".US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said the move, which reversed a decision to remove the designation in the early days of the Biden administration, was in response to the militants' ongoing attacks on commercial shipping in the region.The Houthis began attacking merchant vessels in November, saying...

Meet the European Jews standing against Israel's war with Hamas
BRUSSELS — “Only when Palestinians live in freedom and dignity will Israel have security.”This is the “big message” of Marco. He is the spokesman for Na'amod, a movement of British Jews who oppose what they see as Israel's policies of "occupation and apartheid" in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.But Na'amod is not alone.Across Europe, there are a number of Jewish groups that campaign for Palestinian rights and, more recently, an end to the Israel-Hamas war.Wieland Hoban, Chairman of Germany's Jüdische Stimme (Jewish Voice), tells Euronews these self-described "progressive" Jews often face marginalization from all sides.They can be isolated in left-wing circles, where support for Palestine sometimes veers into disregard for Jewish voices or...

US re-designates Houthis as global terrorists following attacks on military and maritime operations
WASHINGTON — National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced on Wednesday that the United States has re-designated the Houthis as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group.This decision comes in response to the Yemen-based militants' unprecedented attacks against US military forces and international maritime vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.These attacks, which have endangered US personnel, civilian mariners, global trade, and freedom of navigation, have been widely condemned by the United States and the international community.The designation of the Houthis as terrorists aims to hinder their access to terrorist funding, restrict their financial market activities, and hold them accountable for their actions.However, Sullivan noted that if the Houthis cease their attacks,...

Zomlot said British policy towards Israel and the Palestinians was inconsistent
Palestinian envoy Husam Zomlot says UK guilty of hypocrisy
LONDON — The Palestinians' top envoy to the UK has accused the government of "double standards and hypocrisy" in its policies towards them.Husam Zomlot criticized PM Rishi Sunak for opposing an application at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in the war in Gaza.The UK had suffered "reputational damage" in the Middle East, he said.But he welcomed a recent decision by the government to ban violent Israeli settlers from entering the UK.Last month, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on X that settlers responsible for attacks on Palestinians would be barred. The move followed the announcement of a similar plan by the US."[This is] welcomed," said Zomlot. "In my opinion that was a very significant moment - not because of...
