Palestinian leader appeals to US to stop Israel's Rafah offensive
GAZA — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the US is the only country that can stop Israel from attacking Rafah, the southern Gaza city where more than a million people are taking refuge.Abbas, who runs parts of the occupied West Bank said any attack could see Palestinians flee Gaza.On Saturday Israel's foreign minister said Israel could suspend the incursion if there was a hostage deal.“The release of the hostages is the top priority for us,” Israel Katz said.Long-running talks mediated by Egypt and Qatar have largely stalled because of the gaps between the Israeli and Hamas positions, but on Sunday Hamas said it would send representatives to Cairo to give a response to the latest proposal.Hamas wants a permanent end to the war and withdrawal of all Israeli troops from...

Situation on frontline has worsened, Ukraine army chief says
KYIV — Ukraine's commander-in-chief has said the situation on the frontline has worsened in the face of multiple Russian attacks.Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi said Ukrainian forces had withdrawn from positions in the eastern Donetsk region.Russia is trying to take advantage of its superiority in manpower and artillery before Ukrainian forces get much-needed supplies of new US weapons.The US last week agreed a $61bn (£49bn) package of military aid for Ukraine.But new US weapons are yet to make their way to the frontlines, where Ukrainian troops have been struggling for months with a shortage of ammunition, troops and air defenses.“The situation at the front has worsened,” Gen.

Democrats are worried. But will RFK Jr take more votes away from Trump?
WASHINGTON — Mike Panza showed up early to a comedy benefit to support the Kennedy campaign for president.Wearing a Star Wars-themed shirt and queuing outside the Royal Oak Theatre in this Detroit suburb, he talked about what drew him to the one candidate in the 2024 race identifiable solely by his initials — RFK Jr.“I'd like a return to the middle of the road,” said Panza, 44. “His stance on health care is really appealing. Kennedy wants to make people healthy, he wants to make the country healthy.”Panza, who works as an environmental officer, might sound like a disaffected Democrat. But when I ask who he voted for in 2020, he answers immediately: “Trump.”Interviews with dozens of Robert F Kennedy Jr supporters here point to a paradox about the independent candidate,...

Ship with 400 tons of food aid destined for Gaza has left Cyprus
JERUSALEM — A desperately needed shipment of food aid destined for Gaza departed from Cyprus on Saturday, weeks after humanitarian efforts in the besieged enclave were severely disrupted following a deadly Israeli airstrike which killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers.The deaths of the aid workers, six of them foreign, caused an international uproar against Israel, which took responsibility for the deaths. The incident also caused at least three aid providers to pause operations in Gaza, among them WCK, which had been central to the new, heavily touted sea corridor from Cyprus.The United Arab Emirates has now partnered with an aid agency to send crucial assistance to Gaza via the Israeli port of Ashdod. A UAE official told CNN Saturday that the vessel laden with critical food...
