EU fails to agree Israeli suspension from research fund over Gaza
BRUSSELS — A European Commission proposal to deny Israel partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund failed to garner the necessary qualified majority support when EU ambassadors met in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the issue.If agreed, Israel would lose access to €200 millions' worth of future grants and investments in Horizon's European Investment Council (EIC) which specialises in so-called disruptive technologies.But representatives from Berlin and Rome said they need to examine Commission's proposition further. For a qualified majority vote to pass the population weight of either Italy or Germany is required."Germany wanted to continue dialogue with Israel as opposed to taking action – but we all know the dialogue is not...

Yemen's Houthis vow to ramp up attacks on ships linked to Israel
SANAA — Yemen's Houthi rebels have vowed to target commercial ships belonging to any company that does business with Israeli ports, regardless of nationality, as part of what they say is a new phase of their military operations against Israel.After the Israel-Hamas war started in October 2023, the Iran-backed Houthis launched a campaign targeting ships in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea — in what they have called a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.In a recent announcement, the Houthis said they had "decided to escalate their military support operations and begin implementing the fourth phase of the naval blockade" against Israel.They warned that they would target "all ships belonging to any company that deals with the ports of the...

Gaza experiencing 'real starvation', Trump says
JERUSALEM — There is "real starvation" in Gaza, Donald Trump has said, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted there was no such thing.Asked if he agreed with Netanyahu that it was a "bold-faced lie" to say Israel was fuelling hunger in Gaza, the US president replied: "I don't know... those children look very hungry... that's real starvation stuff."Speaking during a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, Trump said: "Nobody's done anything great over there. The whole place is a mess... I told Israel maybe they have to do it a different way."His comments came after the UN's humanitarian chief said "vast amounts" of food were needed to stave off starvation.Tom Fletcher told the BBC he...

US used about a quarter of its high-end missile interceptors in Israel-Iran war, exposing supply gap
WASHINGTON — The United States blew through about a quarter of its supply of high-end THAAD missile interceptors during Israel’s 12-day war with Iran in June, according to two sources familiar with the operation, thwarting attacks at a rate that vastly outpaces production.US forces countered Tehran’s barrage of ballistic missiles by firing more than 100 THAADs (short for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) – and possibly as many as 150 – a significant portion of America’s stockpile of the advanced air defense system, the sources said. The US has seven THAAD systems, and used two of them in Israel in the conflict.Using so many THAAD interceptors in such a short period exposed a gap in the US missile defense network and depleted a costly asset at a moment when American public...

Leading Israeli human rights groups accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza
JERUSALEM — A leading Israeli human rights group has accused Israel of “committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza,” becoming the first such organization to make the claim.B’Tselem said in a major report released on Monday that it came to that “unequivocal conclusion” after an “examination of Israel’s policy in the Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack.”A second Israeli group, Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI), announced it was joining B’Tselem in calling Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide. It published a separate legal and medical analysis documenting what it called “deliberate and systematic extermination of the health system in Gaza.”CNN has...

JERUSALEM — Dozens of international humanitarian organizations warned Israel’s blockade of aid into Gaza is endangering the lives of doctors and aid workers, while a major news agency says it is trying to evacuate its remaining freelance journalists because the situation has become “untenable.”In a joint statement, 111 international humanitarian organizations called on Israel to end its blockade, restore the full flow of food, clean water and medical supplies to Gaza, and agree to a ceasefire.The coalition warned Wednesday that supplies in the enclave are now “totally depleted” and that humanitarian groups are “witnessing their own colleagues and partners waste away before their eyes.”“As the Israeli government’s siege starves the people of Gaza, aid workers are now...
