A Sudanese local committee on Sunday accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of abducting eight displaced women, including two girls, after storming Abu Shouk camp for displaced people in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State in western Sudan. In a statement, the Abu Shouk Camp Emergency Room said the RSF raided the camp on Saturday and “took away eight women to an unknown location, among them two girls”. The statement added that “the number of missing people from inside the camp, due to repeated RSF incursions, has exceeded 20, and their names are documented with us”. On Tuesday, the United Nations expressed its shock over reports of a large-scale RSF attack on the besieged city of El Fasher, […]

Israeli warplanes struck several sites in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, including the presidential palace and power plants, the army said on Sunday, Anadolu reports. A military statement claimed that the strikes targeted Houthi infrastructure in Sanaa, including the Asar and Hizaz power plants, a site for storing fuel, and a military site in which the presidential palace is located.

This decision may impact the functioning of the Office of the Prosecutor and ongoing investigations,” Kaja Kallas said in a statement issued by the European External Action Service (EEAS), the EU’s diplomatic arm. She voiced the EU’s “firm” support to the ICC, vowing further “support and contribution” to ensure the protection of the Court and its staff against external pressures or threats. “Attacks or threats against the Court, elected officials, personnel and […]

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that occupying Gaza City could pose a serious threat to the lives of Israeli captives. Zamir urged Netanyahu to accept the current prisoner exchange deal that Hamas has already approved. This comes amid escalating pressure from the families of Israeli prisoners to proceed with a deal ensuring their release, while Netanyahu on Thursday instructed the immediate start of negotiations for their release alongside advancing the plan to occupy the remaining parts of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu’s recent comments suggest he wants the deal under new terms, while mediators still await his official response to a US proposal that Hamas has agreed to. The proposal largely matches terms […]

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced on Sunday that 9 out of 10 schools in the Gaza Strip, including its own, have been destroyed by Israeli shelling and need to be rebuilt to be usable. Human Rights Watch (HRW)had previously said that the Israeli army had bombed more than 500 schools housing displaced persons in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war in October 2023. The shelling has killed hundreds of Palestinians civilians, according to HRW, which emphasised that Israel had used US-made munitions to carry out the attacks. HRW described Israel’s targeting of schools housing displaced persons in the Gaza Strip as “unlawful” attacks, regardless of the justification. READ: ‘Besiege them, […]

The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fully responsible for the lives of Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip. This came after Netanyahu approved a plan to reoccupy Gaza following the movement’s announcement of accepting mediators’ proposal for a ceasefire- prisoner swap deal. “We agreed to a partial deal and expressed our readiness for a comprehensive deal, but Netanyahu rejects all solutions,” Hamas said in a statement on its official Telegram channel on Sunday. Hamas said Israeli and American admissions confirm that Netanyahu is the real obstructionist of the [prisoner] swap deals and ceasefire”. According to the statement, the recent statements by former US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller confirmed that Netanyahu had been stalling […]

In a single season, Mohamed Salah swept five major individual honours: the Premier League Golden Boot, Premier League Player of the Year, Liverpool’s Player of the Season, plus awards from both the players’ union and fan associations. Such a remarkable collection cemented him not only as an extraordinary talent, but also as one of the most decorated Arab and African footballers in European history. Yet despite his achievements, Salah has never been fully embraced by parts of the Western media. Bias and double standards remain stark: he is frequently overlooked in favour of European or South American players with far less impressive records. That neglect coincides with another uncomfortable truth — Salah himself often hesitates to speak up for the […]

Israeli far-right ministers openly advocated starving Gaza’s population during a Cabinet meeting, sparking a fierce confrontation with military chief Eyal Zamir over Israel’s ongoing war strategy, according to Israeli media reports on Sunday, Anadolu reports. The clash unfolded during late Saturday discussions on “Operation Gideon’s Chariots 2,” a planned large-scale offensive accompanied by mass evacuations in Gaza City. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanded harsher measures against Palestinians who remain. “We ordered you (to carry out) a quick operation. In my opinion, you can besiege them. Whoever doesn’t evacuate, don’t let them. No water, no electricity – let them die of hunger or surrender. This is what we want, and you’re capable (of doing it),” Channel 12 quoted him as saying. […]
