Francesca Albanese
US sanctions UN expert Francesca Albanese, critic of Israel's Gaza offensive
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel's military offensive in Gaza.Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked the move to her support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), some of whose judges have already been sanctioned by the US.Rubio said the US was sanctioning Albanese for directly engaging with the ICC in its efforts to prosecute American or Israeli nationals, accusing her of being unfit for service as a UN Special Rapporteur.The sanctions are likely to prevent Albanese from travelling to the US and would block any assets she has in the country.In a post on X, Albanese did not directly address the sanctions, but wrote: "[O]n this day more than ever: I...

JERUSALEM — Negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar on a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal have stalled after three days of indirect talks, a Palestinian official has told the BBC.The official said key sticking points included how aid would be distributed during the ceasefire and Israeli troop withdrawals.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting the US and hopes of a deal had been raised as he had an unscheduled second meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.US special envoy Steve Witkoff also said they were now "down to one" unresolved issue at the Doha talks and that he was hopeful of an agreement on a 60-day ceasefire by the end of this week.The choreography of meetings between Trump and Netanyahu has given the impression that the...

Desperate Gaza doctors cram several babies into one incubator as fuel crisis reaches critical point
JERUSALEM — Doctors in Gaza say they were forced to cram multiple babies into one incubator as hospitals warned that fuel shortages are forcing them to shut off vital services, putting patients’ lives at risk.The UN has warned that the fuel crisis is at a critical point, with the little supplies that are available running short and “virtually no additional accessible stocks left.”“Hospitals are rationing. Ambulances are stalling. Water systems are on the brink. And the deaths this is likely causing could soon rise sharply unless the Israeli authorities allow new fuel in – urgently, regularly and in sufficient quantities,” the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said.An 11-week Israeli blockade on humanitarian aid earlier in the year pushed the...

USAID review raised ‘critical concerns’ over Gaza aid group days before $30 million US grant
WASHINGTON — An internal government assessment shows USAID officials raised “critical concerns” last month about a key aid group’s ability to protect Palestinians and to deliver them food – just days before the State Department announced $30 million in funding for the organization.A scathing 14-page document obtained by CNN outlines a litany of problems with a funding application submitted by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group established to provide aid following an 11-week Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip. The United Nations human rights office says that hundreds of Palestinians have since been killed around private aid sites, including those operated by GHF.The assessment flags a range of concerns, from an overall plan missing “even basic details” to a...

Syria issues appeal to EU for help battling massive wildfires along northwestern coast
DAMASCUS — Authorities in Syria appealed to the European Union on Tuesday for help in battling massive wildfires that have been spreading across the north-western coastal region for the sixth consecutive day."Communication has also been established with the European Union, and there is a possibility of air support from Cyprus today to bolster the extinguishing efforts," Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management Raed Saleh wrote in a post on X."We are facing significant field challenges, most notably the rugged terrain, the absence of firebreaks, active winds, and the presence of mine remnants and unexploded ordnance."Since the beginning of July, the Syrian civil defence have responded to 334 wildfires across the country, most of them concentrated in Latakia...

Israeli defense minister plans to move Gaza's population to camp in Rafah
JERUSALEM — Israel's defense minister says he has instructed its military to prepare a plan to move all Palestinians in Gaza into a camp in the south of the territory, Israeli media reports say.Israel Katz told journalists on Monday he wanted to establish a "humanitarian city" on the ruins of the city of Rafah to initially house about 600,000 Palestinians - and eventually the whole 2.1 million population.He said the goal was to bring people inside after security screening to ensure they were not Hamas operatives, and that they would not be allowed to leave.If conditions allowed, he added, construction would begin during a 60-day ceasefire that Israel and Hamas are trying to negotiate.One Israeli human rights lawyer condemned it as nothing less than an "operational plan...

Methane gas kills 12 Turkish soldiers in Iraq operation
ISTANBUL — Twelve Turkish soldiers have died after being exposed to methane gas while searching a cave in northern Iraq, the Turkish Ministry of National Defence said.At least 19 personnel were exposed to the gas during the search and clear operation on Sunday, and immediately taken to hospital. By Monday, 12 had died, the ministry said.President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he received the news with "great sorrow" and extended his condolences to the soldiers' families and to the Turkish Armed Forces.Methane gas is not directly toxic, but can be deadly as it can become suffocating, especially in tight, enclosed spaces.It remains unclear why the cave contained enough methane gas to make it lethal.A farewell ceremony for some of the soldiers killed was held at an airport in the...
