Israel 'completely rejects' EU decision to review trade and cooperation deal
JERUSALEM — Israel has said it rejects a decision by the European Union to review the bloc's wide-ranging trade and cooperation pact with the country over its intensified offensive in Gaza.The EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated on Tuesday that the bloc would examine if Israel has violated its human rights obligations under Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which defines the trading and diplomatic relations between both sides.In a statement shared on X late on Tuesday, Israeli foreign ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein dismissed Kallas' announcement."We completely reject the direction taken in the statement, which reflects a total misunderstanding of the complex reality Israel is facing," Marmorstein wrote on X."This war was forced...

Israel 'completely rejects' EU decision to review trade and cooperation deal

Israel launched a devastating new ground offensive in Gaza over the weekend
UK steps up action against Israel over Gaza offensive
LONDON — The UK has suspended talks on a trade deal with Israel, summoned the country's ambassador and imposed fresh sanctions on West Bank settlers, as Foreign Secretary David Lammy called the military escalation in Gaza "morally unjustifiable".The move follows warnings of starvation in Gaza after Israel launched a new military operation over the weekend.There were fiery exchanges in Parliament with Conservative shadow foreign secretary Dame Priti Patel, who suggested the actions would be welcomed by Hamas, but also angry calls for the government to go further.In response, Israel's foreign spokesman said external pressure would "not divert Israel from its path in defending its existence".Global experts have warned of a looming famine because the Israeli...

New intelligence suggests Israel is preparing possible strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, US officials say
WASHINGTON — The US has obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as the Trump administration has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran, multiple US officials familiar with the latest intelligence told CNN.Such a strike would be a brazen break with President Donald Trump, US officials said. It could also risk tipping off a broader regional conflict in the Middle East — something the US has sought to avoid since the war in Gaza inflamed tensions beginning in 2023.Officials caution it’s not clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision, and that in fact, there is deep disagreement within the US government about the likelihood that Israel will ultimately act. Whether and how Israel strikes will likely...

Seven-month-old Niveen needed open-heart surgery outside Gaza
Gaza baby sent back to war zone after open-heart surgery in Jordan
DOHA — In a makeshift tent in al-Shati refugee camp, in the north of the Gaza Strip, 33-year-old Enas Abu Daqqa holds her tiny baby daughter Niveen in her arms. A fan hums constantly behind her to break the morning heat. Enas worries that Niveen's health might deteriorate at any point. She is only seven months old, and was born during the war with a hole in her heart. As her mother explains how she struggled to keep her alive amid a collapsing health system in Gaza, Niveen, with her big brown eyes and tiny frame, cries and fidgets. "The war has been very tough for her," Enas tells the BBC. "She wasn't gaining any weight, and she would get sick so easily." Niveen's only chance to survive was to receive urgent care outside Gaza. And in early...

A girl’s mission to keep family alive as famine looms in Gaza
GAZA — The bright pink jumper with a picture of Cinderella hangs off Jana’s skinny shoulders as she walks through the northern Gaza moonscape, piles of rubble, dirt and dust all around her. Clutching a large tub in her hand, the 12-year-old is on a mission: find food and water.Jana Mohammed Khalil Musleh Al-Skeifi and her family say she has been responsible for getting supplies for them all since an Israeli sniper killed her older brother more than a year ago. Her parents are in poor health, so it now falls on her to provide for them.“I don’t want my father to get tired. That’s why I’m strong. I want to be strong, so my father doesn’t suffer,” Jana told CNN while waiting in a queue at a water distribution spot in Gaza City. “My father is elderly and has heart disease. If...

Rubio warns Syria could be weeks away from 'full-scale civil war'
WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called for Syria's transitional authorities to be supported, warning that the country could be only weeks away from "potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions".At a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he defended President Donald Trump's decision last week to lift sanctions on Syria before meeting President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda commander who led the rebel offensive that overthrew Bashar al-Assad in December.Trump's rationale was that other countries wanted to help Sharaa's administration and send aid but were afraid of the sanctions, Rubio explained.There was no immediate comment from Syrian officials.The US imposed sanctions on Syria in response to atrocities...

At least 38 killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza in half-hour period, medics say
CAIRO — At least 38 Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip during a half-hour period overnight, according to Palestinian medics.Israeli warplanes struck several locations, including a school in eastern Gaza City, and an abandoned fuel station sheltering displaced families in central Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp, according to the Hamas-run civil defense agency.It added that rescue teams were facing major difficulties reaching the wounded due to a lack of equipment and the intensity of the bombardment.The attack comes after Israel issued a sweeping evacuation order for civilians in Gaza in preparation for what it said was an "unprecedented attack".Ten people were killed when an Israeli air strike hit classrooms at the Musa bin Nusayr...

One in five people in Gaza face starvation, report warns, as Israel’s months-long blockade continues
GAZA — One in five people in the Gaza Strip are facing starvation as the entire territory edges closer to famine, a new United Nations-backed report warns, after nearly three months of Israel’s blockade of critically needed humanitarian aid.The warning comes as the UN and several NGOs, as well as civilians in Gaza, say the situation has deteriorated since Israel launched its renewed assault on the enclave in March, as residents struggle to access food, medicine and clean water.The enclave’s entire population is experiencing “high levels of acute food security” and the territory is at “high risk” of famine, the most severe type of hunger crisis, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) said in its latest report Monday.“Goods indispensable for people’s...

International pressure builds on Israel over Gaza
JERUSALEM — International pressure has been building on Israel over its new military offensive in Gaza that has left hundreds dead in just the last few days.The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada threatened to take “concrete actions” on Monday, including targeted sanctions, if Israel does not stop its renewed military offensive and continues to block aid from entering Gaza.Israel launched a new devastating ground offensive in Gaza over the weekend just as US President Donald Trump departed the region without sealing a ceasefire and hostage deal.The Israeli military said its forces moved into northern and southern Gaza over the past day as part of the “Gideon’s Chariots” operation, which Israel warned would take place if Hamas doesn’t agree to a new hostage deal...

Israel lets aid into Gaza after 11-week blockade but UN calls it 'drop in ocean'
GAZA — Israel says it has allowed five UN lorries carrying humanitarian aid, including baby food, into the Gaza Strip after 11 weeks of blockade.The UN's humanitarian chief welcomed the move but stressed it was only "a drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed" by the 2.1 million Palestinians in the war-torn territory, where global experts are warning of a looming famine.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his decision to temporarily let in a "minimal" amount of food followed pressure from allies in the US Senate."We must not reach a situation of famine, both from a practical and a diplomatic standpoint," he stressed in a video in response to criticism of the move in Israel.Netanyahu said food deliveries would continue only until the Israeli...
