The Biden administration is pursuing a “dual-track” approach when it comes to the Gaza war, analyst Luciano Zaccara says, amid its recent decision to sell more weapons to Tel Aviv. “On the one hand they are trying to convince the public opinion that the US is really concerned about civilian casualties but also they keep sustaining Israel (militarily),” the Qatar University professor told Al Jazeera. “It is totally contradicting … it is hard to understand how this is in the national interest.” Zaccara said the policy was especially perplexing in light of “mounting pressure” in the US, including among democrats, against the war as civilian casualties in Gaza continue to […]
A global recession was widely predicted in 2023, but major economies held firm, raising interest rates to control inflation. The United States’ economy expanded by 5.2 percent in the third quarter, the quickest pace in nearly two years. Food and fuel prices have come down. But inflation and high interest rates remain a major issue in many parts of the world. Meanwhile, China is grappling with deflation as prices continue to fall. How will slowing growth and demand there affect the rest of the world? We look at what lies ahead for the global economy in 2024.

There has been a skunk water truck which has been spraying water towards Palestinians and Muslim worshippers. This produces an awful smell, which has been drifting in the air. People have also been attacked with tear gas grenades. The reason why there are these confrontations is that, since October 7, there have been vast restrictions on Muslims entering the place they revere as the third holiest place in Islam, the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. The Israelis are only allowing people over 45 years old, but even then, they can restrict them. We have only seen about 3,00 to 4,000 worshippers in the past two weeks. Usually, you’d have between 50,000 and […]

Israel’s war cabinet was due to meet to discuss a deal with Hamas – negotiated by the Americans, the Qataris and the Egyptians – about exchanging captives for Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails. That seems relatively uncontroversial – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told family members of the captives in a meeting on Thursday afternoon that negotiations are still ongoing. The second thing that was going to be discussed at the war cabinet was what Gaza would look like the day after the war. But Bezalel Smotrich, from Netanyahu’s coalition party, decided that he didn’t want that discussion to take place. He is very much against the Palestinian […]

A 22-year-old major in Israel’s 77th Battalion, a 24-year-old captain in the 52nd Battalion’s armoured brigade, and a 32-year-old deputy commander in the 198th Battalion were killed in fighting in south and central Gaza on Wednesday. The three seriously wounded received injuries in the same battles as the three deceased soldiers, Israel’s military said. The UN reports that 22 Israeli soldiers were killed over Tuesday and Wednesday in Gaza, bringing the total number of Israeli forces killed in the Palestinian territory to 162 since the ground invasion began two months ago. It was not known if the three latest deaths were included in the total death toll reported by the […]
These are the latest pictures released by the Palestine Red Crescent Society, showing some of the injured being treated in a makeshift medical centre in Jabalia refugee camp. Medics have also been receiving the bodies of those killed in Israeli air strikes in northern Gaza. Nebal Farsakh, the Media and Communications Officer of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, says Israel’s bombardments are making it impossible to properly treat and reach the wounded.
