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...

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...

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...
