130 charities say controversial Gaza aid group must be shut down
GAZA — More than 130 charities and other NGOs are calling for the controversial Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be shut down.Over 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the GHF started operating in late May, following Israel's three-month blockade of Gaza, the organisations said. Almost 4,000 have been injured.The organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, say Israeli forces and armed groups "routinely" open fire on Palestinians seeking aid.Israel denies its soldiers deliberately shoot at aid recipients, and has defended the GHF system, saying it provides direct assistance to people who need it, bypassing Hamas interference.Tuesday's joint statement from some of the world's biggest charities says the...

JERUSALEM — At least 20 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a popular seafront cafe frequently used by activists, journalists, and local residents in western Gaza on Monday, according to medics and eyewitnesses.Rescue teams evacuated 20 bodies and dozens wounded from Al-Baqa Cafeteria, an outdoor venue which consisted of tents along the beach, a spokesperson for Gaza's Hamas-run Civil Defence told the BBC.He added that emergency crews were still searching through a deep crater left by the explosion."I was on my way to the café to use the internet just a few meters away when a massive explosion hit," said Aziz Al-Afifi, a cameraman with a local production company, told the BBC."I ran to the scene. My colleagues were there, people I meet every...

UK high court rejects challenge against selling military parts to Israel
LONDON — Human rights groups lost their legal challenge to the British government's decision to supply Israel with parts for F-35 fighter jets and other military equipment, in a ruling handed by London's High Court on Monday.The court, which looked into the allegation that the UK selling arms to Israel through a global pool was against the law, stated that it was not up to the courts to tell the government to withdraw from the group.The case was brought by the UK-based Global Legal Action Network and a Ramallah-based human rights group Al-Haq, in conjunction with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Oxfam.They argued that there was a “clear risk” that the UK's indirect supply of essential F-35 components to Israel — which have been linked to its recent military...

JERUSALEM — Israel has ordered Palestinians to evacuate from parts of northern Gaza ahead of increased military action, as US President Donald Trump pushes for a ceasefire deal.People in neighborhoods across Gaza City and Jabalia have been told to move south towards the coastal area of al-Mawasi as Israeli military operations "intensify and expand westward".At least 86 people were killed as a result of Israeli attacks in the 24 hours before midday on Sunday, the Hamas-run health ministry said.Three children were among those killed in a strike on the so-called "safe zone" of al-Mawasi, their parents said.Trump has reiterated calls to "make the deal in Gaza" and "get the hostages back".On Saturday, Trump had said on Truth Social that Israel's...

US must rule out more strikes before new talks, Iranian minister says
TEHRAN — The US must rule out any further strikes on Iran if it wants to resume diplomatic talks, Tehran's deputy foreign minister has told the BBC.Majid Takht-Ravanchi says the Trump administration has told Iran through mediators it wants to return to negotiations, but had "not made their position clear" on the "very important question" of further attacks while talks are taking place.Israel's military operation, which began in the early hours of 13 June, scuppered a sixth round of mainly indirect talks set to take place in Muscat two days later.The US became directly involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran last weekend when it targeted three Iranian nuclear sites in a bombing raid.Takht-Ravanchi also said Iran will "insist" on being able to...

Iran's FM says talks with Washington 'complicated' by US strikes on nuclear sites
TEHRAN — Iran's top diplomat said on Friday that the possibility of new negotiations with the United States on his country's nuclear programme has been "complicated" by US strikes on three of the sites, which he conceded had caused "serious damage."The US was one of the parties to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) which saw Iran agree to limit its uranium enrichment programme in exchange for sanctions relief and other benefits.That deal unravelled in 2018 after President Donald Trump unilaterally pulled the US out during his first term, calling it the "worst deal ever negotiated."Trump had suggested he is interested in new talks with Iran and said the two sides would meet next week.In an interview on Iranian state television...

Tehran is coming back to life, but its residents are deeply shaken
TEHRAN — In the heart of the Iranian capital, the Boof cafe serves up refreshing cold drinks on a hot summer's day.They must be the most distinctive iced Americano coffees in this city – the cafe sits in a leafy corner of the long-shuttered US embassy.Its high cement walls have been plastered with anti-American murals ever since Washington severed relations with Tehran in the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution and the hostage crisis – which still cast a long shadow over this tortuous relationship.Inside the charming Boof cafe, Amir the barista says he'd like relations to improve between America and Iran."US sanctions hurt our businesses and make it hard for us to travel around the world," he reflects as he pours another iced coffee behind a jaunty wooden sign —...
