Iran mulls scrapping plans to take revenge on Israel in exchange for a Gaza ceasefire

Thursday, 08 August 2024 21:19

Funeral in Iraq for Hamas leader The Middle East, and indeed much of the world, is bracing for Iran to carry out a revenge attack on Israel over the assassination of Hamas’ political leader. But could Tehran instead be prepared to pull back in exchange for progress on Gaza peace talks? That was the hope among regional leaders gathered at an emergency summit in Jeddah.

It was Wednesday and the world was on edge. Flights across Iran and its neighbors were cancelled amid fears that missiles could fly any moment, triggering a much-feared escalation of Israel’s war in Gaza.

With his country on the brink of triggering a regional war, Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri whispered to an aid bending close to catch his words.

Cameroon’s foreign minister sat to Bagheri’s right, Yemen’s to his left, along with a room full of other foreign ministers from Muslim-majority countries, all there to help prevent the situation from spiraling into a wider conflict.

Why has Ukraine launched a cross-border attack on Russia?

Wednesday, 07 August 2024 23:27

When Kyiv launched a cross-border raid into Russia’s Kursk region bordering Ukraine, the question from some military experts was: “Why?”

One of Ukraine’s biggest battlefield issues is manpower. Russia has more soldiers and is inching closer to the eastern Ukrainian town of Pokrovsk.

So, sending hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers into Russia itself is, shall we say, counterintuitive in the eyes of some.

But not all.

With attention on Gaza, Jewish settlers expand in the West Bank

Wednesday, 07 August 2024 23:13

For more than two decades, Israeli Dror Etkes has crisscrossed the West Bank, bouncing along dusty, rutted roads as part of his personal mission to keep close tabs on the expanding Jewish settlements he fiercely opposes.

The war in Gaza has diverted attention from the West Bank, and the Israeli government and Jewish settlers are making the most of this opportunity to increase their numbers and the land they control, said Etkes.

"The settlers realize that these are the right times to expand and to take as much as possible, to swallow as much as possible, to grab as much as possible," said Etkes, who established the monitoring group Kerem Navot.

This is not the first time we've gone around the West Bank together. Back in 2007, Etkes took me on a tour of new outposts established by hard-core settlers. Today there are nearly 150 Jewish settlements authorized by the Israeli government and more than 100 outposts that have no government sanction, according to monitoring groups.

Chinese American man convicted in US of spying on dissidents for China

Tuesday, 06 August 2024 16:39

A Chinese American scholar was convicted on Tuesday in the US on charges of using his reputation as a pro-democracy activist to gather information on dissidents and feed it to his homeland’s government.

A federal jury in New York delivered the verdict in the case of Shujun Wang, who helped found a pro-democracy group in the city.

Prosecutors said that at the behest of China’s main intelligence agency, the ministry of state security, Wang lived a double life for more than a decade.

“The defendant pretended to be opposed to the Chinese government so that he could get close to people who were actually opposed to the Chinese government,” assistant US attorney Ellen Sise said in an opening statement last month. “And then, the defendant betrayed those people, people who trusted him, by reporting information on them to China.”

US personnel wounded in attack against base in Iraq, officials say

Tuesday, 06 August 2024 15:27

The U.S. officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said one of the wounded Americans was seriously injured. The casualty count was based on initial reports which could still change, they said.

"Base personnel are conducting a post-attack damage assessment," one of the officials added.

Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, was assassinated in the Iranian capital Tehran last week, an attack that drew threats of revenge by Iran on Israel. Iran blamed Israel for the killing, but Israel has not claimed responsibility.

Monday, 05 August 2024 22:17

Former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway has registered to lobby on behalf of a Ukrainian oligarch, according to a new foreign agent disclosure filing.

Conway registered Friday to represent Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk’s foundation as a lobbyist, according to a filing uploaded by the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The filing suggests that she will try to engage with U.S. lawmakers and experts about Ukraine’s interests and will raise awareness about “Ukrainians’ fight for freedom and the Russian illegal war of aggression.”

Nine UNRWA staff members were possibly involved in attack on Israel; ten cleared, UN says

Monday, 05 August 2024 22:09

Hamas attack photo Nine staff members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNWRA) may have been involved in the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, and have been fired, the United Nations said on Monday.

"For nine people, the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved in the seventh of October attacks," deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq told a U.N. briefing.

He was referring to findings of the U.N. Office of Internal Oversight Services, which he said had completed an investigation into the alleged involvement of 19 UNRWA staff members in the attacks, two of whom have since died.
