Washington (AFP) - The United States on Friday reestablished a temporary pier to boost aid deliveries into Gaza after the structure suffered storm damage and underwent repairs in a nearby port, the country's military said. Gaza has been devastated by Israeli operations against Palestinian militant group Hamas that are now entering their ninth month, uprooting the coastal territory's population and leaving them in dire need of humanitarian assistance. "US Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully reestablished the temporary pier in Gaza, enabling the continued delivery of much-needed humanitarian ...

Washington (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address lawmakers in the US Congress on July 24, Republican party leaders announced Thursday. The visit comes amid mounting pressure for the US ally and Hamas militants to agree to a permanent ceasefire as Israel faces growing diplomatic isolation over the rising death toll in Gaza. President Joe Biden last week presented what he called an Israeli three-phase plan that would end the conflict, free all hostages and lead to the reconstruction of the devastated Palestinian territory without Hamas in power. But Netanyahu's office s...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden on Tuesday appeared to play down a suggestion he made in an interview with Time magazine that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was dragging out the Gaza war for political reasons. Speaking to Time last week, days before his announcement of an Israeli proposal for a Gaza ceasefire deal that Netanyahu greeted coolly, Biden was asked if he believed the Israeli was prolonging the conflict for his own political self-preservation. "There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion," Biden replied in the interview, which was published Tuesday....

By Danny KEMP Washington (AFP) - Le président américain Joe Biden a taclé le Premier ministre israélien dans une interview au magazine Time publiée mardi, affirmant qu'il y avait "tout lieu" de conclure que Benjamin Netanyahu faisait traîner la guerre à Gaza pour sa propre survie politique. Le démocrate, dont les relations avec M. Netanyahu sont notoirement compliquées, a ajouté avoir un "désaccord majeur" avec lui au sujet de l'après-guerre dans le territoire palestinien, et a jugé qu'Israël avait eu un comportement "inapproprié" pendant le conflit, déclenché par une attaque du Hamas le 7 oct...

Jerusalem (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office on Tuesday denied American media reports that he will address the US Congress on June 13, amid mounting pressure to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas. Netanyahu's office told Israeli media the date of his speech to Congress had "not been finalised", but it would not be on June 13 because it interferes with a Jewish holiday. The date had been reported by Punchbowl News and Politico. Speculation about the visit comes with Netanyahu facing intense criticism over the civilian death toll in the war in Gaza, which has ratcheted tensi...

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Ignored by Russia and Israel, the International Court of Justice is hamstrung by a dysfunctional global system that sees countries comply with its rulings -- or not -- based on their own double standards, experts say. In 2022, the UN's highest court ordered Russia to halt its invasion of Ukraine, still underway two years later. In May, it ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, which is ongoing. Do these refusals to comply with legally binding decisions testify to a lack of credibility and legitimacy o...

New York (AFP) - New York police arrested at least 22 people after pro-Palestinian protesters picketed New York's Brooklyn Museum, charging some with offenses including assault, officers said on Saturday, with the gallery reporting damage to artwork. Hundreds of demonstrators had descended on the art museum Friday, chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, and carrying banners and placards, an AFP correspondent saw. While many remained outside, some entered the museum, with a giant black and white banner reading "Free Palestine, divest from genocide" unfurled above the museum facade's six distinctive ...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden said Friday Israel had offered a new roadmap towards a permanent peace in Gaza, urging Hamas to accept the surprise deal as it was "time for this war to end." In his first major address outlining a solution to the conflict, Biden said the three-phase proposal starts with a six-week complete ceasefire that would see Israeli forces withdraw from all populated areas of Gaza. "It's time for this war to end, for the day after to begin," Biden said in a televised address from the White House. "Israel has offered a comprehensive new proposal. It's a roadmap t...

Shop owner Tayseer Manasrah reported losses of $3 million. Confrontations led to the army firing what appeared to be incendiary bombs, according to eyewitnesses. Ramallah Governor Laila Ghannam expressed outrage, as firefighters struggled to contain the inferno.

Civil defense crews faced obstacles accessing the area, exacerbating the fire's spread to over 200 shops.

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden's red lines over Israel's assault on Rafah have kept shifting, but the US president faces growing pressure to take a firmer stance after a deadly strike in the Gazan city. Despite global outrage over the attack in which 45 people were killed, the White House insisted on Tuesday that it did not believe Israel had launched the major operation that Biden has warned against. John Kirby, the US National Security Council spokesman, said that Biden had been consistent and was not "moving the stick" on what defined an all-out military offensive by key ally Israel. But Bide...
