Israel to resume “intense fighting” in Gaza if hostages not freed by Saturday | BBC News
Israel’s prime minister has warned Hamas it will end the ceasefire in Gaza and resume intense fighting if the Palestinian group “does not return our hostages by Saturday noon”.
Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered Israeli forces to amass inside and around Gaza in response to Hamas’s announcement that it was postponing freeing more hostages until further notice.
Netanyahu did not specify whether he was demanding the release of all 76 remaining hostages, or just the three due to be freed this Saturday – but a minister said he meant “everyone”.
Hamas has accused Israel of violating the three-week-old ceasefire deal, including by blocking vital humanitarian aid – a claim Israel has denied.
Following Netanyahu’s statement, the Palestinian militant group said it was committed to the Gaza ceasefire deal, but said Israel had failed to “abide by its commitments”.
It added that Israel was “responsible for any complications or delays” in the hostage release process.
The group’s decision to delay this weekend’s scheduled release prompted US President Donald Trump to propose that Israel cancel the agreement altogether and “let hell break out” unless “all of the hostages” were returned by Saturday.

Negotiators for the US and Iran have agreed a framework of a deal that would extend their ceasefire for 60 days and launch negotiations on the future of Iran’s nuclear programme, US sources say.
The agreement comes amid continued strikes and accusations of ceasefire violations, with tensions still high across the region.
Talks are also said to include potential changes to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy route.

More than three months after the US and Israel first began their war with Iran, Washington and Tehran have reached an initial agreement to bring about a more long-term end to hostilities.
US President Donald Trump has said it paves the way for what he called the “toll-free” opening of the Strait of Hormuz. He called on ships to start their engines and “let the oil flow”.
The full text of the deal has not yet been released. Pakistani mediators say the agreement will be officially signed in Switzerland on Friday 19 June.
Our US State Department correspondent Tom Bateman tells us that President Trump and Iranian officials are already giving different accounts of what’s been agreed.

Twelve police officers injured and water cannon fired after second night of NI riots | BBC News
#Belfast #NorthernIrelandTwelve police officers have been injured and 16 people arrested in the second night of rioting in Northern Ireland.
A water cannon was deployed to disperse a large crowd during the unrest prompted by a serious knife attack in Belfast on Monday.
The family of the victim, Stephen Ogilvie, said they did not want this “terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility,” and appealed for privacy.
Hilary Benn, the UK Northern Ireland secretary, said a sense of fear “has spread amongst ethnic minority people” in Northern Ireland after the nights of violence.
On Wednesday, a 30-year-old, originally from Sudan, appeared in court charged with attempted murder over a knife attack that caused serious injuries to the victim.
