Arab states and UN condemn Gaza aid blockade by Israel
LONDON — Several Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt, have condemned Israel for blocking the entry of all humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.Egypt and Qatar said the Israeli move on Sunday violated a ceasefire deal, while UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher described it as "alarming".Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country acted because Hamas was stealing the supplies and using them "to finance its terror machine".He also accused the Palestinian group of rejecting a US proposal to extend the ceasefire in Gaza, after it expired on Saturday. Israel said it had approved the proposal.A Hamas spokesman said Israel's blockade was "cheap blackmail" and a "coup" against the ceasefire agreement.The ceasefire deal...

DOHA — Qatar Airways says an internal review has found that its crew "acted quickly, appropriately and professionally" when they placed the body of a woman who died mid-flight next to an Australian couple.The airline issued the statement to the BBC on Friday, after the couple told Australia's Channel Nine that they were traumatized by the experience on the Melbourne to Doha flight.Qatar Airways had apologized in a previous statement for "any inconvenience or distress this incident may have caused".The incident sparked debate over procedures on dealing with deaths aboard planes.Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, who were traveling to Venice for a holiday, said the cabin crew had placed the dead woman, covered in blankets, next to Ring for the last four hours of a...

ANKARA — Kurdish militant leader Abdullah Ocalan has asked his followers in the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to lay down arms and dissolve the group, potentially ending a decades-long conflict with Turkey that is estimated to have killed at least 40,000 people.“I am making a call for the laying down of arms, and I take on the historical responsibility of this call,” the jailed leader said in a statement Thursday that was read by Turkish lawmakers. “All groups must lay their arms and the PKK must dissolve itself.”Ocalan said that for more than a thousand years, “Turkish and Kurdish relations were defined in terms of mutual cooperation and alliance,” which was broken in the last 200 years. “Today, the main task is to restructure the historical relationship, which has...

Investigation highlights Israeli intelligence failures in lead-up to Hamas attack
TEL AVIV — An investigation into the failings of the Israeli military in the lead-up to the devastating Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, has highlighted gaps in intelligence gathering, flawed assumptions about Hamas, and “systemic” failures in the Israel Defense Force’s preparedness and response.The 19-page report released Thursday by the IDF said there were gaps in the Intelligence Directorate’s understanding of “Hamas’ strategic goals, decision-making processes,” and operational plans that contributed to its failure to stop the biggest terrorist attack in the country’s history, when gunmen killed more than 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostage.Despite having relevant information, the intelligence community failed to recognize Hamas’ shift from a...
