Israel accused of targeted killing of civilians in West Bank| BBC News

Published

on



Four brothers killed earlier this month by an Israeli air strike in the occupied West Bank were Palestinian civilians who posed no threat to Israeli forces, witnesses have told the BBC.

Violence in the West Bank has been rising since the war began in Gaza. The United Nations says more than 300 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by the Israeli army since the Hamas attacks on Israel three months ago.

The killing of the four brothers happened hours after a 19-year-old Israeli army officer during clashes with Palestinian groups in the West Bank city of Jenin.

    This is nothing but terrorism. It is surprising that America and the West do not explicitly evacuate this. Israel is behaving like every colonialist nation in history

    You have the audacity to try to portray the Palestinians as poor and sick and persecuted? They are the ones who are killing everybody around and keep standing they want to do it over and over and over again are you stupid, pure evil, or just blind? Either way the reporting" of the BBC is is overtly biassed and should be taken off the air! this is not news reporting, but VILE propaganda.

    Didn't BBC propagate a lie earlier that the Hamas Rocket that exploded in the hospital was an Israeli airstrike ?!! 🙂 BBC has no crediblity in reporting, it is nothing more than a propaganda tool like the CNN, MSNBC, and AL Jazeera

    Sorry words can’t describe how I feel😭😭 World leaders we can’t keep a blind eye. Israel is terrorizing the Palestinians in West Bank and stealing their land. They don’t have the licence to do what they want by killing innocent people. Send UN military forces in to protect these people. Israel has no rights it .Palestinians WestBank is their country. No occupation from Israel. Why is the IDF always there terrorizing the Palestinians 💭 why is Israel there💭why don’t you charge the settlers for trespassing and assault 💭

    We once again see how little Israel values human life, though that’s incorrect since they don’t view non Jews as humans to begin with.

What did President Putin and President Trump discuss in their call? | BBC Newscast

Published

on



We look at big changes to the benefits system which the UK government say aim to save ÂŁ5bn a year by 2030.

They were announced in the House of Commons by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall who said the changes would create a more “pro-work system”. However, charities and some Labour MPs are worried benefit cuts will push disabled people into poverty. Alex and James talk through the changes with Chris, and then are joined by the pensions minister Torsten Bell.

And, President Putin has agreed to halt strikes on Ukraine energy targets for 30 days after a call with President Trump. The two men spoke for around 90 minutes, and fresh Ukraine peace talks will also begin in the Middle East immediately, the White House says. Alex and James are joined by Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky asks EU leaders for fighter jets – BBC News

Published

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on EU leaders to provide fighter jets and arms for the war against Russia, on his second trip abroad since the war began.

“We have to enhance the dynamics of our co-operation, we have to do it faster than the aggressor,” President Zelensky said.

He was earlier given a standing ovation at the European Parliament in Brussels.

Several EU leaders have already stressed that a decision on warplanes would be a collective move.

White House hits back at Amazon’s ‘plan’ to show tariff price rises | BBC News

Published

on



The White House has hit back against a reported plan by Amazon to detail the price impact of President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs to its customers, calling it a “hostile” political act.

Amazon told the Washington Post it had looked into itemising the costs for customers using Amazon Haul, a low-cost site it launched in the US last year to compete with Shein and Temu.

But it denied such a move had been under consideration for its primary e-commerce platform.

At a press conference marking the president’s 100 days in office, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had discussed Amazon’s reported move with the president and claimed it represented “another reason why Americans should buy American”.

Trump has ramped up tariffs since re-entering office in January, measures he argues will boost manufacturing and raise tax revenue for the US.
