Turkey restricts internet access amid opposition standoff
ISTANBUL — Turkish authorities imposed widespread internet throttling for 12 hours on Sunday following clashes between police and opposition supporters trying to prevent a government-appointed trustee from taking control of the Republican People's Party (CHP) Istanbul headquarters.The restrictions affected YouTube, X, Instagram and WhatsApp access across the country after Turkish security forces used pepper spray to disperse CHP demonstrators in Istanbul's Sarıyer district. Many users resorted to VPN services to circumvent the throttling.The CHP Istanbul headquarters in the city's northern parts have been surrounded for several days by the party's supporters, aiming to prevent the trustee Gürsel Tekin from taking over the reins of the party’s provincial...

Palestinian prisoners not being given adequate food, Israel top court says
JERUSALEM — Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the state is failing to provide adequate food to Palestinian prisoners, and must take steps to improve their nutrition.The three-judge bench said on Sunday that the government was legally obliged to provide prisoners with enough nutrition to ensure "a basic level of existence".Thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli jails for years, including over terror charges — and thousands more have been detained since the war in Gaza began in October 2023.Talks for a ceasefire have stalled but on Sunday night US President Donald Trump issued a "last warning" to Hamas, urging them to accept a deal to release Israeli hostages from Gaza.On a post on Truth Social, he said that Israel had accepted his terms, and it...

Greta Thunberg's boat will pause in Tunisia for two days before setting sail for Gaza
Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla arrives in Tunisia
TUNIS — Huge crowds gathered at Tunisia's port on Sunday to welcome Greta Thunberg as her aid flotilla, bound for Gaza, docked at the port.The Swedish climate activist is travelling with 350 pro-Palestinian activists on boats stocked with aid that they are hoping to deliver to Palestinians in Gaza.Pictures from the Sidi Bou Said port show hordes of people surrounding the 22-year-old as she addressed the crowd. "We all know why were are here," she said. "Just across the water there's a genocide going on, a mass starvation by Israel's murder machine."Israel has repeatedly denied that there is starvation in Gaza and has blamed any hunger on Hamas and aid agency failures.Last month a UN-backed body confirmed that there was famine in the territory and the...

Hamas releases video of hostages in Gaza City as Israeli military advances
JERUSALEM — Hamas on Friday released a video of two hostages being driven around Gaza City, in a move apparently aimed at swaying Israeli public opinion as the military ramps up its assault on the city.The video shows captive Guy Gilboa-Dalal in a car in several locations in Gaza City, including outside the Red Crescent headquarters. Apparently filmed last week, it reveals damaged buildings through the car window as the unseen driver leads the car through parts of the city. CNN has geolocated the video to Gaza City.Toward the end of the video a second hostage, Alon Ohel, 22, appears alongside Gilboa-Dalal in the car. The two embrace and appear surprised to see each other. “I can’t believe I’m seeing you,” Gilboa-Dalal says several times in the video.It was a rare Hamas hostage...

US sanctions Palestinian rights groups who asked top court for Israel war crimes investigation
WASHINGTON — The US State Department has imposed sanctions on three Palestinian human rights groups that asked the International Criminal Court to investigate and arrest Israeli leaders over accusations of war crimes in Gaza.Late last year the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and a now deceased senior Hamas official.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the US will sanction the three NGOs – Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan), and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) – for engaging in what he called the ICC’s “illegitimate targeting of Israel.”The organizations “have directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest,...

Iran increased stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium before Israeli strikes, IAEA says
VIENNA — A confidential report by the United Nations' nuclear watchdog circulated to member states said on Wednesday that Iran increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels before Israel launched air strikes on the country on 13 June.The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that as of 13 June, Iran had 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60%, an increase of 32.3 kilograms since the IAEA's last report in May.The report stated that this figure is "based on the information provided by Iran, agency verification activities between 17 May 2025 and 12 June 2025, and estimates based on the past operation of the relevant facilities."That material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of...

Israelis stage 'day of disruption' against reservists call-up for Gaza City operation
JERUSALEM – Protesters took to the streets across Israel for what they called a "day of disruption" on Wednesday, denouncing the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists for an offensive in Gaza City that critics fear could endanger the lives of the hostages still being held by Hamas.Demonstrators have accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet of failing to secure a ceasefire deal and intensifying an offensive in Gaza instead."We have to take an extreme action so that someone will remember. There’s no such thing as a state abandoning its citizens," Yael Kuperman, a protester near the Knesset, told the Israeli public broadcaster Kan.The IDF said last month that Defence Minister Israel Katz had approved plans for an expanded military...
