Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says
JERUSALEM – A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.A new report says there are reasonable grounds to conclude that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out since the start of the war with Hamas in 2023: killing members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and preventing births.It cites statements by Israeli leaders, and the pattern of conduct by Israeli forces, as evidence of genocidal intent.Israel's foreign ministry said it categorically rejected the report, denouncing it as "distorted and false".A spokesperson accused the three experts on the commission of serving as...

Rubio in Qatar as Israel launches new Gaza incursion 
JERUSALEM – Israel announced on Tuesday it launched a ground incursion to seize Gaza City, soon after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio left Tel Aviv, escalating its war in defiance of international condemnation and backlash from the families of Israeli hostages.Israel launched what may be its biggest ground operation in Gaza since the initial military incursion at the beginning of the war, marking an unprecedented escalation that has full US backing.Nearly two years into the conflict, the Israeli military says it has begun a new and expanded ground incursion into Gaza City, which Israeli officials have said is one of Hamas’ last remaining strongholds.Since the late hours of Monday, Gaza City has witnessed what could be described as a significant and alarming Israeli military...

JERUSALEM – The Gaza Strip came under heavy bombing overnight on Monday, as Israel launched a barrage of strikes toward Gaza City, the enclave's biggest city.Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on X on Tuesday that "Gaza is burning," reaffirming Israel's stance that it will not back down until the completion of the mission.The Shifa Hospital received the bodies of 12 people killed, and at least 90 others were injured, after a strike hit multiple houses in the west of the city, the hospital's managing director Dr Rami Mhanna said.It comes amid reports that Israel launched its ground offensive on Gaza's once most populous city, and US top diplomat Marco Rubio warned there is now only a "short window of time in which a deal can happen."“We...

Spain's PM Sánchez calls for Israel to be banned from sports events over war in Gaza
MADRID – Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called for Israel to be banned from sports events on Monday after pro-Palestinian activists disrupted the final stage of the Vuelta cycle race in chaotic scenes in Madrid.Tensions between the two countries have escalated in recent weeks as Spain's left-wing government expressed support for protesters who interrupted several stages of the Vuelta, including Sunday's final stage in Madrid, because an Israeli team was taking part.Speaking to members of his Socialist Party, Sánchez said Israel, just like Russia, should not be allowed to compete in international sports events because of its military campaign in Gaza."The sports organisations should consider whether it’s ethical for Israel to keep participating in international...

Netanyahu admits Israel faces prolonged ‘isolation’ over war in Gaza
TEL AVIV – With global anger mounting over the nearly two-year war in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Monday that Israel is facing a “kind of isolation” that could last for years, and has no choice but to stand on its own.Speaking at a finance ministry conference, Netanyahu said Israel’s economy would need to adapt to “autarkic characteristics” – becoming more self-sufficient and less reliant on external trade.“It’s a word I hate,” Netanyahu said, adding that it was he who had brought a “free-market revolution to Israel.”One of the key industries facing isolation is weapons trade, he said, which may force Israel to avoid reliance on foreign arms imports.“We’ll need to develop our weapons industry – we’re going to be Athens and super...

Bulgaria arrests Russian owner of ship at center of Beirut port blast that killed 218
BEIRUT – The Russian owner of a cargo ship linked to a supply of ammonium nitrate at the centre of the massive Beirut port explosion in 2020 has been arrested in Bulgaria, Lebanese judicial officials said on Monday.The arrest of Igor Grechushkin comes nearly five years after a Lebanese investigative judge issued two arrest warrants through Interpol for him and the vessel's captain, Boris Prokoshev, also a Russian national.The judicial officials said papers are being prepared requesting the transfer of Grechushkin to Lebanon for questioning.They said that if Grechushkin is not handed over, Lebanese investigators could travel to Bulgaria to question him there.The four Lebanese judicial officials said Grechushkin, who also has Cypriot nationality, was arrested last week at Vasil Levski...

1 in 10 Palestinians in Gaza killed or injured, says former Israeli military chief
TEL AVIV – The former chief of the Israeli military said more than 1 in 10 Palestinians in the enclave have been killed or injured since the war began nearly two years ago.Speaking at the community of Ein HaBesor in southern Israel last week, former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said, “There are 2.2 million people in Gaza. There are in Gaza today more than 10% who were killed or injured, more than 200,000. This is not a gentle war.”The figure is notable because it is very close to the number of casualties from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which says Israeli forces have killed nearly 65,000 Palestinians and injured more than 164,000.During the war, Israeli officials repeatedly challenged the health ministry figures, seeking to cast doubt on...

Netanyahu does not rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not ruled out further strikes on Hamas leaders following last week's attack in Qatar, saying they would not have immunity "wherever they are".Speaking at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said every country had the right "to defend itself beyond its borders".Israel's decision to target senior Hamas leaders in Qatar — a close US ally — drew international outrage and criticism from US President Donald Trump. Hamas said six people were killed but that its leaders survived.When pressed on whether the US had any involvement in the strike, Netanyahu told journalists: "We did it on our own. Period."The meeting between Rubio and Netanyahu comes...

Qatar hosts Arab-Islamic emergency summit over Israeli strike on Doha
DOHA — An emergency meeting of Arab and Islamic states is taking place in Qatar in response to Israel's air strike on Hamas leaders in Doha last week.A draft resolution seen by the Reuters news agency condemns what it calls Israel's "hostile acts including genocide, ethnic cleansing, [and] starvation", which it says threatens "prospects of peace and coexistence". Israel has strongly denied such allegations.It is not clear what practical decisions could be taken, as analysts say any kind of military response is out of the question.Earlier, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani urged the international community to stop applying "double standards" and to punish Israel.On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said that...

Turkish court again postpones trial against main opposition CHP party
ANKARA – A court in the Turkish capital Ankara postponed on Monday a case of "absolute nullity" against the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), the proceedings which the opposition slammed as politically motivated judicial interference.The case, which was opened over allegations that delegates "were paid" to cast their votes in favour of the current chairman Özgür Özel during a party congress in late 2023, is believed by most opposition supporters to be politically motivated.The government maintains that Turkey's courts operate independently in investigating allegations of electoral irregularities.Former chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was defeated by Özel, his long-time advisor and group deputy chairman at the Turkish parliament, never...
