RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel ramped up its airstrikes Monday in Gaza, where the death toll is rising rapidly, and the United States advised Israel to delay an expected ground invasion to allow more time to negotiate the release of hostages taken by Hamas militants.Israel has allowed two small aid convoys but no fuel to enter the besieged coastal enclave, where there has been a power blackout for nearly two weeks. Hospitals say they are scrounging for generator fuel in order to keep operating life-saving medical equipment and incubators for premature babies. Heavy airstrikes demolished buildings across Gaza, including in areas where Palestinians have been told to seek refuge, killing hundreds and sending new waves of wounded into already packed hospitals, according to Palestinian officials and witnesses.

Al-Ahli hospital blast likely caused by missile from ‘inside Gaza,’ says UK’s Sunak

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 15:12:07 GMT

LONDON — British intelligence suggests last week’s deadly explosion at the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza was caused by a misfired missile launched “from within Gaza and towards Israel,” U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told MPs Monday.Updating the House of Commons after a trip to the Middle East, Sunak said U.K. authorities had “taken care to look at all the evidence currently available” on the explosion, which killed hundreds of Palestinians at the Gaza Strip hospital and saw fiercely competing claims over culpability.“On the basis of the deep knowledge and analysis of our intelligence and weapons experts, the British government judges that the explosion was likely caused by a missile or part of one that was launched from within Gaza towards Israel,” the prime minister said.Sunak also lashed out at what he called “misreporting” of the blast, which he said had a “negative effect in the region, including on a vital U.S. diplomatic...

France sends weapons to Armenia amid fears of new conflict with Azerbaijan

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 15:12:07 GMT

PARIS — France is selling military equipment such as air defense systems to Armenia, the French government said Monday, as fears grow that Azerbaijan could follow up its seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh last month with assaults on its neighbor’s territory. The announcement on French arms comes just a month after Azerbaijan declared victory following a lightning military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, forcing more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians living in the breakaway region to flee their homes. The concern — as raised by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken — is that may not be the end of Azerbaijan’s regional ambitions, and all eyes are now on the Zangezur corridor, a tract of land running along Armenia’s border with Iran. The danger is that another move by Baku’s forces could inflame a broader conflict in the Southern Caucasus — an area where Turkey, Russia and Iran all have core strategic interests. France, the country with Europe’s largest Armenian dias...
