Israel kills dozens in Gaza airstrikes despite ceasefire deal | BBC News

Published

on



Israeli air strikes are continuing in Gaza ahead of the ceasefire agreement and hostage deal with Hamas, which comes into effect on Sunday, subject to the Israeli cabinet’s approval.

The strikes killed 73 people overnight following the announcement of the deal, Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defence agency reported. Victims include 12 people living in a residential block in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City, the health ministry said.

Israel has previously launched air strikes in the run-up to ceasefire arrangements taking effect, most recently in Lebanon, where the capital Beirut suffered heavy bombing hours before a ceasefire came into force in November 2024.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been expected to confirm the ceasefire deal in parliament but his office claimed Hamas has “reneged” on parts of the agreement, prompting a “last-minute crisis”.

Two hardline right-wing ministers, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have long threatened to leave Mr Netanyahu’s government coalition if the ceasefire goes ahead.

US President Donald Trump says he would offer every adult American a $5,000 payout if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in November’s midterm elections.

The plan would cost more than a trillion dollars, and he gave no details on how it would work or be funded.

UK had to ‘call out’ Israeli settlements in West Bank says foreign secretary | BBC News

Published

on



The UK had to “call out” Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank before it was “too late” to save the two-state solution, the foreign secretary has said.

Ed Milliband has announced the UK would ban the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.

Israel has built around 160 settlements housing 700,000 people since then, despite all Israeli settlements in the West Bank being illegal under international law. Around 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.

Israel has responded with four “counter-measures” against the UK – including the closure of the UK consulate in Jerusalem, which is expected to shut in the next 30 days.
