A UN-backed report recently warned there was an imminent likelihood of famine in northern Gaza
Israel has missed US deadline to boost Gaza aid, UN agency says
GAZA — The main UN aid agency in Gaza says Israel has failed to meet a US deadline to boost aid to the territory or risk a reduction in American military aid.Last month, in a strongly worded letter, the US secretary of state gave Israel an ultimatum of 30 days to ensure more aid trucks reached Gaza daily. The deadline expires on Tuesday.The amount of aid getting into Gaza is at its lowest level in a year, the UN says. A UN-backed report recently warned that there was an imminent likelihood of famine in northern Gaza, where hardly any aid has entered in the past month.Israel says it has substantially increased the amount of aid getting into Gaza, and accuses aid agencies of failing to adequately distribute it.In his letter on 13 October, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Israel...

Israeli minister pushes for West Bank settlement annexation
JERUSALEM — Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has ordered preparations for the annexation of settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.Smotrich, who is in charge of the settlements, said on Monday that he had instructed his department to “prepare the necessary infrastructure for applying sovereignty.”It is unclear whether his long-standing desire to apply full Israeli law in West Bank settlements has any chance of being implemented soon.The Prime Minister’s Office is yet to comment on Smotrich’s order. However, earlier Monday, Gideon Sa’ar, Israel’s new foreign minister, told a press briefing that the government had made no decision on the issue of annexation as yet, but noted it had been discussed during Donald Trump’s first term as US president...

Israel’s Netanyahu acknowledges pager attack in Lebanon
TEL AVIV — Israel has for the first time confirmed that it was behind the operation in September to detonate hundreds of pagers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon.The Israeli media on Sunday reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet: “The beeper operation and the elimination of (Hezbollah’s leader Hassan) Nasrallah were launched despite the opposition of senior officials in the security establishment and the political echelon in charge of them.”An Israeli official confirmed those remarks to CNN – the first time Israel has acknowledged its role.The decision by the government to brief Israel’s media on Netanyahu’s remarks – and by extension, confirm Israel was behind the operation – appears to be another chapter in the domestic political machinations that...

PARIS — France condemned the brief detention of two consulate members after it said Israeli police forced their way into a French-owned holy site in Jerusalem, in what is the latest diplomatic spat in a series of events that have sent relations between the two plummeting.France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot was due to visit the French-owned Eleona church compound, which houses a sanctuary, on Thursday when the incident occurred.Armed Israeli officers entered the site without authorization, France’s Foreign Ministry said, arresting the two consulate staff members “despite the fact that they are officials with diplomatic status” and prompting Barrot to abandon his visit.The employees were later released following the intervention of the minister, France’s Foreign Ministry...

A car park close to Baalbek's Unesco-designated Roman ruins was hit in an Israeli air strike
Israeli bombing puts ancient ruins at risk, archaeologists warn
BEIRUT — For over two millennia, the Roman temples at Baalbek in eastern Lebanon have stood as some of the finest examples of Roman architecture anywhere in the world.On Wednesday, a car park just meters away from the Unesco World Heritage site was hit by an Israeli air strike.The attack, which also destroyed a centuries-old Ottoman building, highlighted what some archaeologists say is the risk of irreparable damage to historical sites across Lebanon from the current war between Israel and Hezbollah."Baalbek is the major Roman site in Lebanon. You couldn't replace it if someone bombed it," says Graham Philip, an archaeology professor at Durham University."It would be a huge loss. It would be a crime."Since late September, Israel has pummelled Lebanon with...

Israel passes law to deport relatives of attackers, including citizens
JERUSALEM — The Israeli parliament has passed a law allowing the government to deport the family members of people convicted of terrorism offenses, including Israeli citizens.The controversial legislation, proposed by a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, applies to first-degree relatives, meaning the parents, siblings or children of those found guilty of committing or supporting terrorism.Israeli human rights organizations say the law is unconstitutional.Some opposition members of the Knesset, Israel's parliament, suggested it is targeted only at Palestinian citizens of Israel, sometimes called Israeli Arabs.The law allows for the deportation of the family members of those who had advance knowledge and either failed to report the matter to the police or...
