Palestinian prisoners not being given adequate food, Israel top court says
JERUSALEM — Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the state is failing to provide adequate food to Palestinian prisoners, and must take steps to improve their nutrition.The three-judge bench said on Sunday that the government was legally obliged to provide prisoners with enough nutrition to ensure "a basic level of existence".Thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli jails for years, including over terror charges — and thousands more have been detained since the war in Gaza began in October 2023.Talks for a ceasefire have stalled but on Sunday night US President Donald Trump issued a "last warning" to Hamas, urging them to accept a deal to release Israeli hostages from Gaza.On a post on Truth Social, he said that Israel had accepted his terms, and it...

Greta Thunberg's boat will pause in Tunisia for two days before setting sail for Gaza
Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla arrives in Tunisia
TUNIS — Huge crowds gathered at Tunisia's port on Sunday to welcome Greta Thunberg as her aid flotilla, bound for Gaza, docked at the port.The Swedish climate activist is travelling with 350 pro-Palestinian activists on boats stocked with aid that they are hoping to deliver to Palestinians in Gaza.Pictures from the Sidi Bou Said port show hordes of people surrounding the 22-year-old as she addressed the crowd. "We all know why were are here," she said. "Just across the water there's a genocide going on, a mass starvation by Israel's murder machine."Israel has repeatedly denied that there is starvation in Gaza and has blamed any hunger on Hamas and aid agency failures.Last month a UN-backed body confirmed that there was famine in the territory and the...

Hamas releases video of hostages in Gaza City as Israeli military advances
JERUSALEM — Hamas on Friday released a video of two hostages being driven around Gaza City, in a move apparently aimed at swaying Israeli public opinion as the military ramps up its assault on the city.The video shows captive Guy Gilboa-Dalal in a car in several locations in Gaza City, including outside the Red Crescent headquarters. Apparently filmed last week, it reveals damaged buildings through the car window as the unseen driver leads the car through parts of the city. CNN has geolocated the video to Gaza City.Toward the end of the video a second hostage, Alon Ohel, 22, appears alongside Gilboa-Dalal in the car. The two embrace and appear surprised to see each other. “I can’t believe I’m seeing you,” Gilboa-Dalal says several times in the video.It was a rare Hamas hostage...

US sanctions Palestinian rights groups who asked top court for Israel war crimes investigation
WASHINGTON — The US State Department has imposed sanctions on three Palestinian human rights groups that asked the International Criminal Court to investigate and arrest Israeli leaders over accusations of war crimes in Gaza.Late last year the ICC issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and a now deceased senior Hamas official.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the US will sanction the three NGOs – Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights (Al Mezan), and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) – for engaging in what he called the ICC’s “illegitimate targeting of Israel.”The organizations “have directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest,...

Israel intensifies Gaza City attacks as UN warns of 'horrific' consequences for displaced families
JERUSALEM — Israeli forces are intensifying their attacks on the outskirts of Gaza City, residents say, as the military steps up preparations for a ground offensive to conquer it.Hospitals said women and children were among more than 30 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in the city on Wednesday, most of them in the north and west.The Israeli military's chief of staff vowed to "continue striking Hamas's centres of gravity until it is defeated" and its hostages freed.The UN and aid groups said the Israeli operations were already having "horrific humanitarian consequences" for displaced families sheltering in the city, which is home to a million people and where a famine was declared last month.Meanwhile, Israeli protesters took part in what they called a...

Iran increased stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium before Israeli strikes, IAEA says
VIENNA — A confidential report by the United Nations' nuclear watchdog circulated to member states said on Wednesday that Iran increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels before Israel launched air strikes on the country on 13 June.The report by the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that as of 13 June, Iran had 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 60%, an increase of 32.3 kilograms since the IAEA's last report in May.The report stated that this figure is "based on the information provided by Iran, agency verification activities between 17 May 2025 and 12 June 2025, and estimates based on the past operation of the relevant facilities."That material is a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of...

Israelis stage 'day of disruption' against reservists call-up for Gaza City operation
JERUSALEM – Protesters took to the streets across Israel for what they called a "day of disruption" on Wednesday, denouncing the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists for an offensive in Gaza City that critics fear could endanger the lives of the hostages still being held by Hamas.Demonstrators have accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet of failing to secure a ceasefire deal and intensifying an offensive in Gaza instead."We have to take an extreme action so that someone will remember. There’s no such thing as a state abandoning its citizens," Yael Kuperman, a protester near the Knesset, told the Israeli public broadcaster Kan.The IDF said last month that Defence Minister Israel Katz had approved plans for an expanded military...

Rift between Netanyahu and Israel’s military deepens over assault on Gaza City
JERUSALEM — Tensions between Israel’s military and political leadership have sharply escalated over the past week, with the military chief directly confronting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a recent meeting over plans to expand the Gaza war, two Israeli officials told CNN.Tens of thousands of Israeli reservists have begun reporting for duty to prepare for the massive operation, despite the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir repeatedly voicing reservations about the decision to take over Gaza City after almost two years of fighting.According to two Israeli officials who were briefed on the exchange, in two recent security cabinet meetings about the Gaza City operation, Zamir challenged the decision to carry out the offensive, focusing on the potential risks to...

Israel starts calling up reservists as it continues military offensive in Gaza City
JERUSALEM — Israel began mobilizing tens of thousands of reservists on Tuesday as part of its plan to widen its offensive in Gaza City, which has sparked opposition domestically and condemnation abroad.The call-up, announced last month, comes as ground and air forces press forward and pursue more targets in northern and central Gaza, striking parts of Zeitoun and Shijaiyah, two western neighbourhoods of Gaza City that the IDF has repeatedly moved into during the 23-month war against Hamas militants.Zeitoun, once Gaza City’s largest neighbourhood, has been transformed over the past month, with streets being emptied and buildings reduced to rubble as it becomes what the IDF called last week a "dangerous combat zone".Gaza City is Hamas' political and military stronghold and,...

Gaza flotilla with Greta Thunberg on board departs Barcelona
BARCELONA — A flotilla of boats headed for Gaza carrying 350 pro-Palestinian activists — including climate change campaigner Greta Thunberg — has departed from Barcelona.Around 20 vessels displaying Palestinian flags left the Spanish port at 19:00 local time on Monday, stocked with medical and food supplies.The flotilla first attempted to set sail on Sunday, but had to return to port due to stormy weather.The aim of the mission is to "break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza", the organisers said — though a previous attempt to reach Gaza by sea was intercepted by Israeli forces.The Global Sumud Flotilla Mission plans to launch in two waves — the first from Barcelona and the second from Tunis on 4 September.Activists hope the boats will converge in the Mediterranean...
