Israel-gaza Conflict

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris called on Tuesday for an end to the Israel-Gaza war and said that Israel must not reoccupy the Palestinian enclave once the nearly year-old conflict comes to an end.

Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and one of his bodyguards were killed in Iran, the Palestinian group said in a statement today.

David, a 61-year-old Israeli, has been on edge ever since his soldier son was deployed to Gaza, where the war sparked by Hamas's October 7 attack shows little sign of abating.

Former US President Donald Trump recently slammed the anti-Israel protests erupting across college campuses as a "radical revolution" and vowed to deport foreign student protesters if he wins the upcoming presidential election.

The U.S. State Department found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in incidents that took place outside of Gaza before conflict broke out between Israel and Hamas in October, the State Department said

Gaza's ancient Greek site of Anthedon has been bombed, its "Napoleon's Palace" destroyed and the only private museum burned down: the war has taken a terrible toll on the rich heritage of the Palestinian territory.

Former Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has urged his country to show restraint after Iran's drone and missile attack Sunday, arguing that a nearly 99 per cent interception rate (by Tel Aviv and its allies) resulted in a "dramatic victory".

Reported discrimination and attacks against Muslims and Palestinians reached a record high in the U.S. in 2023, driven by rising Islamophobia and bias as the Israel-Gaza war raged late in the year, data from an advocacy group showed on Tuesday.

China warned Wednesday that a US decision to veto a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza pushed the conflict into an "even more dangerous" situation.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's comparison of Israel's military campaign in Gaza to the Holocaust has unleashed a diplomatic firestorm, with Brazil recalling its ambassador Monday and Israel declaring Lula "persona non grata."

Influencers on X are profiting from misinformation about conflicts in the Middle East, impose the platform's contentious policies that researchers say prioritize engagement over accuracy.

Iran's foreign minister said on Wednesday that attacks against Israel and its interests by the "Axis of Resistance" will stop if the Gaza war ends, warning that the conflict could heighten tensions across the Middle East.

The Russian foreign minister on Wednesday called on UN chief Antonio Guterres to organise an international conference to find a lasting solution to the war between Israel and the Palestinians.

Gaza hospitals have become a focal point for Israeli operations, with the military saying it has found tunnels or military equipment at the Al-Shifa, Rantisi and Al-Quds facilities.

"In Gaza now there is war, but there is no humanitarian crisis that does not enable them to survive," Israeli President Isaac Herzog said.
