Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they hit a Norwegian tanker in the Iran-aligned group’s latest military operation amid Israel’s war on Gaza. The Norwegian-owned-and-operated ship, Strinda, was struck on Monday night as it passed through the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait separating East Africa from the Arabian Peninsula. On Tuesday, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group targeted the ship because it was “loaded with oil” bound for Israel. The crew refused to respond to all warnings, he said in a televised statement, adding the Houthis would continue blocking ships heading to Israeli ports until Israel allows the entry of food and medical aid into the Gaza Strip.

The US veto on Friday against a proposed UN Security Council (UNSC) resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza has triggered conversation and a call to action to use a rare United Nations resolution in efforts to stop Israel’s brutal war on Gaza. Egypt and Mauritania on Monday invoked Resolution 377A (V) to call for an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday. The resolution says that if the UNSC is not able to discharge its primary responsibility of maintaining global peace due to lack of unanimity, the UNGA can step in.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance is that the war will continue until all its goals are achieved. The recent delivery of over $106 million worth of ammunition from the US, including tank rounds, reinforces Israel’s military capabilities. Despite growing international concerns and calls for a ceasefire, the US has shown alignment with Israel, as evident in their UN veto. Netanyahu aims to fulfil campaign goals, such as releasing captives, dismantling Hamas, and deradicalizing Gaza, indicating a potentially prolonged conflict, with discussions of it lasting another two months.

Earlier we reported the World Health Organization executive board unanimously voted in favour of a resolution calling for “immediate and unimpeded” healthcare aid for Gaza. It was only the seventh time in the UN body’s 75-year history that such a vote took place. “It is an important moment for WHO – an organisation focusing on international public health. For me, it is a victory of the humanity. A victory of member states in promoting health, protecting the vulnerable, and saving lives,” said Dr Ahmed al-Mandhari, regional WHO director. He noted the concern in Geneva as colleagues working in Gaza told the horror stories of what’s happening there. “Our colleagues are […]
The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks has risen to 17,700 since the war began on October the 7th. For those who’ve managed to survive — the so-called safe areas can be extremely dangerous. Israel says what it calls ‘safe zones’ will be spared the bombing and fighting that’s devastated much of the rest of the territory. More than 1.8 million people in Gaza have been forced from their homes. And there are fewer and fewer designated ‘safe’ areas left to flee to. The sandy, barren 6.5 square-kilometre patch of terrain in al-Mawasi is one of them. Al Jazeera’s Youmna El Sayed reports from Rafah at al-Mawasi. Subscribe to […]
