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...

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".

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...
