Israel-Gaza war: Inside the West Bank’s divided areas – BBC Newsnight

Published

on



Fourteen Palestinians were killed and at least 20 were injured in an Israeli raid into the West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp last week, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

These raids are almost nightly in the Israeli search for Hamas gunmen – a group proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK and other governments.

According to the UN this year, more than 400 Palestinians – both militants and civilians – have been killed by both Israeli forces or by settlers in the occupied West Bank.

BBC Newsnight’s Joe Inwood has been speaking to communities in the West Bank.

    Oct 7 feels like it was somehow staged for the purpose of Israel taking over more Palestinian land. Why so little video of Oct 7 in an age of cell phones. Just feels manufactured in some way and it being borne out by the further illegal invasion of Palestine. Why would Hamas conduct a one off attack knowing they would give Netanyahu the exact excuse he needed to invade?

    The Israel-Palestine conflict demands a swift and effective response to prevent further humanitarian catastrophe. The urgency for a ceasefire is clear, and diplomatic solutions must be prioritized. Global leaders should unite to bring both parties to the negotiating table and work towards a lasting resolution for the benefit of all affected communities.

    Oh now they know about the violent settlers huh. Lying through his teeth. Wouldn't it be something when Jesus comes back if he said his chosen people are really the Palestinians?

    Gaza Marine is a natural gas field off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Marine natural gas field is located in water about 36 kilometres (22 mi) offshore at a depth of 2,000 feet (610 m).[1] The field was discovered in 2000 by BG Group and it is estimated to contain more than 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

    On 18 June 2023, the Israeli government gave preliminary approval for its development.

    The right is! England has already made use of Zelensky and now has to accept that he is no longer useful!

    Western politicians conspire against Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and want to betray him, wrote British journalist Con Coughlin in an article in The Telegraph.
    "The West conspired to sell out Ukraine. American and European leaders are tired of Kiev's demands and are ready to betray Zelensky's fighters," he said.

    Hamas was founded by the Mossad, just like ISIS & al-CIAda (Mujahideen), Israel was founded in 1948 by the United States as a bridgehead in the Middle-East. Ask yourself: who is the real Terrorist?

    They are all settlers. The West Bank is Palestinian land under international law, the land belongs to the Palestinians and should be governed by them. How do these people want peace when they are literally occupying another people's land?

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
