Israel confirms it is arming Hamas rivals in operation opposition calls ‘complete madness’
TEL AVIV — Israel is arming local militias in Gaza in an effort to counter Hamas in the besieged enclave, officials say, as opposition politicians warned that the move endangers national security.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the covert enterprise on Thursday, calling it “a good thing.” In a video posted on social media, Netanyahu said Israel had “activated clans in Gaza which oppose Hamas,” and that it was done “under the advice of security elements.”Former defense minister and Netanyahu rival Avigdor Liberman divulged the move on Israel’s Ch. 12 News on Wednesday, saying that Israel was distributing rifles to extremist groups in Gaza and describing the operation as “complete madness.”“We’re talking about the equivalent of ISIS in Gaza,”...

CATALAN — A ship carrying activists to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid rescued four migrants on Thursday after they had jumped into the sea from another vessel to avoid being picked up by Libyan authorities.The vessel Madleen, which is operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was alerted by the European Union's Frontex border control agency and arrived at the location in the Mediterranean where it found 30-40 people on a "boat that was rapidly deflating."As the Madleen launched its own inflatable rescue boat, a Libyan coast guard vessel approached at high speed, the coalition said."To avoid being taken by the Libyan authorities, four people jumped into the sea, and began desperately swimming toward the Madleen,'' which rescued them.The Freedom Flotilla...

US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea
US vetoes UN call for unconditional Gaza ceasefire
NEW YORK — The US has vetoed the UN Security Council's draft resolution calling for an "unconditional and permanent" ceasefire in Gaza.The other 14 members voted in favor of the document, which also demanded the release of all hostages and the lifting of humanitarian aid restrictions.The US Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, said the resolution would "undermine diplomatic efforts" to reach a ceasefire, adding that the UN has not labeled Hamas as a terrorist organization. Hamas is described as such by the US, UK and the EU."We would not support any measure that fails to condemn Hamas and does not call for Hamas to disarm and leave Gaza," she said.It comes amid growing concern over the distribution of aid in Gaza, with more than two million people at risk...

Iran slams US nuclear proposal, says it will continue to enrich uranium
TEHRAN — Iran’s supreme leader has denounced a proposal by the United States aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear efforts and demanded that his country retains independence amid reports of Washington offering to become involved in Tehran’s nuclear program.Despite several rounds of talks between the two sides to thrash out a new nuclear deal major sticking points remain, with Iran insisting on its right to nuclear enrichment.“The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a crowd gathered in Tehran to commemorate the death of Imam Khomeini, the founder of Iran’s Islamic Republic.“Our response to the US’ nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,” he said.The US...

Gaza now worse than hell on earth, ICRC chief says
GENEVA — Gaza has become worse than hell on earth, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross has told the BBC.In an interview at the ICRC's headquarters in Geneva, the organization's president Mirjana Spoljaric said "humanity is failing" as it watched the horrors of the Gaza war.Speaking in a room close to a case displaying the ICRC's three Nobel Peace Prizes, BBC asked Ms Spoljaric about remarks she made in April, that Gaza was "hell on earth", and if anything had happened since to change her mind."It has become worse... We cannot continue to watch what is happening. It's surpassing any acceptable, legal, moral, and humane standard. The level of destruction, the level of suffering."More importantly, the fact that we are...

Aid distribution in Gaza has turned 'a death trap'
JERUSALEM — A new program for getting desperately needed food into the hands of starving Palestinians in Gaza is only days old, but it’s already mired in chaos and tragedy.Dozens of Palestinians have been killed over the past few days while on their way to trying to obtain aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). This group, backed by Israel and the US, is intended to replace the UN-led system of distributing aid in Gaza, to address a hunger crisis sparked by a monthslong Israeli blockade.Over the past week, tens of thousands of Palestinians have converged on distribution points run by GHF, hoping to grab one of the limited number of packages before they run out.For the past three days, Palestinian authorities and witnesses have accused Israeli forces of shooting dozens of...
