The finding of “reasonable” evidence to conclude that the U.S. ally had breached international law in its conduct of the war in Gaza, released in a summary of a report being delivered to Congress on Friday, represents the strongest such statement from Biden officials. But the caveat that the U.S. was unable immediately to link specific U.S. weapons to individual strikes by Israeli forces in Gaza could give the administration leeway in any future decision on whether to restrict provisions of offensive weapons to Israel. The first-of-its-kind assessment, which was compelled by President Joe Bide...

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that a US threat to withhold some arms would not prevent Israel from continuing its offensive in Gaza, indicating it might proceed with an invasion of the packed city of Rafah against the wishes of its closest ally. President Joe Biden has urged Israel not to go ahead with such an operation over fears it would exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe in the Palestinian enclave. On Wednesday, he said the United States would not provide offensive weapons for a Rafah offensive, raising pressure on Netanyahu. But in a statement released Thursday, N...

One of the more startling things about the current wave of pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the US and Europe is the extent to which they — perhaps unknowingly — echo the Hamas ideology as they chant, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine shall be free”. The progressive-left position that seems to dominate these demonstrations is not that Israel should withdraw from the occupied territories, not a two-state solution, and not “land for peace”. It is the abolition of Israel and its replacement by what they see as Palestine. How did this happen? It seems to have come as a total surprise to many ...

Swedish police have assured that fans need not be concerned about safety at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, despite heightened tensions due to the conflict in Gaza. However, the competition continues to be overshadowed by protests against Israel’s participation due to the ongoing war.

US President Joe Biden has warned Israel that Washington will stop supplying some weapons if it goes ahead with its long-threatened ground offensive in Rafah. It's the starkest warning yet from Israel's staunchest ally amid growing concerns for the displaced Palestinian civilians living in the south Gaza city. But Biden softened his warning with some words of reassurance, saying the US would "continue to make sure Israel is secure". On Wednesday, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters Washington had already suspended a shipment containing thousands of bombs. "They have not...

A group of EU institution staffers marched in silence in Brussels on Wednesday to mourn the lives lost in Gaza and what they described as the “death” of European values. The civil servants, who defended their impartiality and the apolitical nature of the demonstration, say that the core values of human dignity, peace and the rule of law that they were hired to uphold are being violated in Gaza, and that the EU needs to act. The demonstrators also said that as a peace project, the EU has a responsibility to contribute more towards international efforts to bring peace back to war-torn Gaza. In a...

Israel has launched a military operation on Gaza’s southernmost city Rafah, seizing operational control of the border crossing that is a major route for humanitarian aid. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said seizing the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing was an "important step" toward dismantling Hamas' military and economic capabilities. "The entrance to Rafah serves two main war goals: the return of our hostages and the elimination of Hamas. We have already proven in the previous release of the abductees, that military pressure on Hamas is a necessary condition for the return of our ...

Pro-Palestinian university protests in Europe have resumed with renewed vigour as Israel launches a ground assault on Rafah after rejecting a ceasefire proposal that had been accepted by Hamas. At Berlin’s Freie Universität in Germany on Tuesday, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters occupied a courtyard. The protesters set up tents and formed a human chain, chanting slogans such as “Viva, Viva Palestina”. Police carried some protesters away, some of them with a struggle. Earlier in the morning, at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, police arrested 125 activists and broke up a pr...

As Israel appears to begin its long-feared assault on Rafah in the Gaza Strip, the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has warned that the consequences for the hundreds of thousands sheltering there could be dire. Speaking to the press, Borrell described as "sad news" the blockage of a ceasefire deal that was first accepted by Hamas before being shunned by Israel. "Hamas accepted, Israel rejected, and the land offensive against Rafah has started again," Borrell said, "in spite of all the requests of the international community, the US, the European Union member states, everybody asking Net...
