LONDON —commissioned by BBC Verify has found.Two audio experts examined a 19-minute video authenticated by BBC Verify, showing the incident and the moments leading up to it near Rafah on 23 March.The findings support a claim made by the Palestinian Red Crescent that the workers were "targeted from a very close range". On 5 April an Israeli army official said aerial footage showed troops opening fire "from afar".The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declined to comment on the analysis directly when approached by BBC Verify.A spokesperson said it was investigating the attack and repeated claims that six of the people killed were linked to Hamas, without offering evidence. The Palestinian Red Crescent rejected the allegation, as did a ninth paramedic who survived and was...

French President Emmanuel Macron
Macron announces potential recognition of Palestinian state in coming months
CAIRO — French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France plans to recognize Palestine as a state in June this year.Macron made the comments during an interview with a French television station while on a two-day trip to Egypt."Our goal is, sometime in June, to chair this conference with Saudi Arabia where we could finalize the movement of reciprocal recognition by several," he said."I will do it...because I think that at some point it will be fair and because I also want to participate in a collective dynamic, which must also allow all those who defend Palestine to recognize Israel in turn, which many of them do not," he continued.Macron added that this would allow France to "be clear in our fight against those who deny Israel's right to...

Testimony from Israeli soldiers, along with satellite imagery analyzed by CNN, indicates the formation of a buffer zone along the border with Israel
Israeli soldiers reveal systematic destruction to create Gaza buffer zone
JERUSALEM — Israel’s military has transformed every bit of Gazan territory within about half a mile of the Israeli border into a wasteland.Armored bulldozers have systematically leveled one home after another. Combat engineers have laid explosives and triggered controlled demolitions inside once-bustling factories. Troops have torn up and denied Palestinians any access to the fertile farmland that once sustained lives and livelihoods.In its place, the Israeli military has established a roughly 1-kilometer-wide buffer zone (about 0.6 miles) from which it has banished Palestinians and killed or fired at those who do set foot within its unmarked perimeter – all of which it has never officially acknowledged.Now, in interviews with CNN and testimonials to an Israeli watchdog group,...

Israel has blocked all goods from entering Gaza for more than a month
Gaza is a 'killing field', says UN chief, as agencies urge world to act on Israel's blockade
NEW YORK — The UN's secretary-general says "aid has dried up [and] the floodgates of horror have re-opened" in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has blocked the entry of all goods and resumed the war against Hamas."Gaza is a killing field, and civilians are in an endless death loop," António Guterres said on Tuesday.His comments come after the heads of six UN agencies appealed to world leaders to act urgently to ensure food and supplies reached Palestinians there.Israel's foreign ministry insisted there was enough food in Gaza and accused Guterres of "spreading slander against Israel".Israel blockaded Gaza on 2 March, after the first stage of a ceasefire expired. Hamas refused to extend that part of the truce, accusing Israel of reneging on its...

Iran says it is ready for nuclear deal if US stops military threats
TEHRAN — Iran is ready to engage with the US at talks on Saturday over its nuclear program "with a view to seal a deal", its Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said.But US President Donald Trump must first agree there can be no "military option", Araghchi said, and added that Iran would "never accept coercion".He also insisted the negotiations in Oman would be indirect, contradicting Trump's surprise announcement on Monday that they would be "direct talks".Trump, who pulled the US out of a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers during his first term, warned that Iran would be in "great danger" if talks were not successful.The US and Iran have no diplomatic ties, so last month Trump sent a letter to Iran's supreme leader...

Audio and video capture last moments of aid workers killed in Gaza
GAZA — When paramedic Hassan Hosni Al-Hila felt too sick to continue his late-night assignment with the Palestine Red Crescent Society on March 23, his son gladly agreed to cover his shift.That shift would prove to be 21-year-old Mohammad’s last.Within a few hours, while the young paramedic was dispatched with a convoy of emergency vehicles to find a missing ambulance crew in Rafah, southern Gaza, Mohammad called his father pleading for help amidst intense Israeli military gunfire.“’Come to me, Dad, help me... we were targeted by the Israelis, and they are now shooting at us directly,” Al-Hila recalled his son telling him over the phone. “The call ended after that.”His fate would remain unknown for over a week, until rescue teams granted permission by the Israeli military to...

US in direct nuclear talks with Iran, Trump says
WASHINGTON — The US and Iran will hold "direct talks" over a possible nuclear deal on Saturday, says Donald Trump.The meeting has also been confirmed by Iran's foreign minister who said the talks would be "indirect" but could be "as much an opportunity as it is a test".The US president on Monday said discussions between Washington and Tehran would be at "very high level" and warned it would be a "very bad day for Iran" if no agreement was reached.Last month, Trump raised the prospect of military action against Iran after its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly rejected the offer of direct talks.Trump disclosed the talks after a White House meeting with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, who has also previously raised the...

Aid agencies sound the alarm as Israel’s Gaza blockade enters a second month
GAZA — One month after Israel cut off humanitarian aid from the Gaza Strip, aid agencies say the humanitarian situation there has deteriorated dangerously, with the plight of two million civilians worsened by intensive Israeli military operations.The United Nations and several NGOs, as well as civilians in Gaza who have spoken with CNN, say hunger is spreading, there is less access to clean water, and fleas infest makeshift displacement camps.The problems that have plagued the territory’s population for the last 18 months have been accentuated by the renewed assault launched by the Israeli military in March, which has included several evacuation orders.The Israeli government shut down the supply of food and other humanitarian aid into Gaza ahead of the offensive, in a bid to pressure...
