HONG KONG — Beijing has clarified that Israel remains marked on official maps issued by Chinese authorities after questions emerged over why the country’s name was not visible on online maps provided by two major Chinese companies.The country name “Israel” does not currently appear on maps on popular mobile applications from leading search platform Baidu or the Alibaba-backed Amap, even though its territory and the names of neighboring countries are clearly shown in a view of the region.

'Genocide unfolding before our eyes' in Gaza , says ex-UN official
NEW YORK — A senior UN official strongly criticized the United Nations in a retirement letter for not stopping what he called “a genocide unfolding before our eyes” in Gaza.Craig Mokhiber, a US human rights lawyer, claimed “the current wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people” is rooted in decades of persecution by Israel “based entirely upon their status as Arabs and coupled with explicit statements of intent by leaders in the Israeli government and military.”Mokhiber left his job heading the New York office of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on 31 October.His four-page letter to UN human rights chief Volker Türk makes no mention of Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on 7 October, which killed 1,400 people.Mokhiber had informed the UN in March...
