How Israel jails hundreds of Palestinians without charge
RAMALLAH — In a family home in Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, Yazen Alhasnat was sitting next to his mother rubbing sleep from his eyes.The 17-year-old had been released from prison the night before, nearly five months after being arrested in a 4am Israeli military raid on the home.Yazen had been held under "administrative detention" -- a longstanding security policy, inherited from the British, that allows the Israeli state to imprison people indefinitely without charge, and without presenting any evidence against them."They have a secret file," Yazen said. "They don't tell you what's in it."He was back at home because he was among the 180 Palestinian children and women released from prison by Israel in the recent exchange for hostages held...

European Union has 'lost credibility' on Israel and Palestine, says Ireland's PM
BRUSSELS — Ireland's Prime Minister Leo Varadkar says the European Union has "lost credibility" because of its "inability to take a stronger and more united position on Israel and Palestine."Speaking at the start of a EU summit in Brussels focusing more on Ukraine, Varadkar said the EU should condemn “terrorism perpetrated by Hamas,” but also call for justice for the Palestinian people.The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with close to 20,000 civilian deaths after a months-long Israeli military offensive, is prompting more European Union countries to support the idea of a humanitarian cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas.Varadkar urged other EU leaders to call for a halt in the fighting, rather than a limited pause to allow the delivery of...
