US citizens file lawsuit against UN agency that provides aid for Palestinians, the agency that Trump seeks to dismantle

Some U.S. citizens who are victims and family members of victims of Hamas and Hezbollah attacks have filed a lawsuit against the largest U.N. agency that provides humanitarian assistance for Palestinians, accusing the aid organization of promoting terrorism. Filed in a Washington, D.C., district court last week, the lawsuit targets the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and its U.S.-based non-profit, UNRWA USA, which is based in Washington, D.C.

Far-right Israeli minister prays at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site, breaching decades-old agreement

A far-right Israeli minister has sparked outrage after leading a group of worshippers in prayer at the most sensitive holy site in Jerusalem, despite a decades-old agreement that bars Jews from worshipping there. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has previously been convicted for supporting terrorism and inciting anti-Arab racism in Israel, commemorated Tisha B'Av, a Jewish day of mourning, in the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, known to Jews as Temple Mount. On Tisha B'Av, Jews mark the destruction of two ancient temples that once stood on the land.

Another key ally quits Netanyahu’s governing coalition in a major blow to Israel’s leader

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suffered a major political blow overnight as a key governing partner announced it was quitting his coalition government, leaving him with a minority in parliament as the country faces a litany of challenges. Shas, an ultra-Orthodox party that has long served as kingmaker in Israeli politics, announced that it would bolt the government over disagreements surrounding a proposed law that would enshrine broad military draft exemptions for its constituents – the second ultra-Orthodox governing party to do so this week. "In this current situation, it's impossible to sit in the government and to be a partner in it," Shas cabinet minister Michael Malkieli said in announcing the party's decision. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ne...

How Qatar defused Iran’s attack on the largest US-run base in the region

Top Qatari officials had been meeting with the country's prime minister on Monday afternoon to find ways of de-escalating a conflict between Iran and Israel, when defence ministry personnel called to warn of incoming Iranian missiles. The attack, the first on the Gulf, caught them by surprise, according to Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari, who recalls feeling the prime minister's residence shake with the interceptions that quickly followed overhead. Unease had gripped the Gulf Arab states that morning.
