Australian billionaire Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest pushes building new aid system for Gaza

Australian billionaire Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest is offering to build a secure gate system on the Israel-Gaza border that he says could allow 10,000 metric tonnes of food aid to be delivered each day to starving Palestinians. Forrest, the founder of the philanthropic Minderoo Foundation, was set to raise the proposal at an emergency summit on Gaza in Jordan, co-hosted by that country, Egypt and the United Nations on Wednesday (AEST), and attended by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He's also committed $7.5 million to improve the Jordanian humanitarian land corridor by building storage warehouses to allow more aid to pass to Gaza. "Right now, the Jordanian people are bearing a significant load by leading the single most effective route into Gaza. It is my intention...

Joe Biden says US won’t supply weapons for Israel to attack Rafah, in warning to ally

US President Joe Biden has said he won't supply offensive weapons that Israel could use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah – the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza – over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there. Biden, in an interview with CNN, said the US was still committed to Israel's defence and would supply Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms, but that if Israel goes into Rafah, “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used". The US has historically provided enormous amounts of military aid to Israel. That has only accelerated in the aftermath of Hamas’ October 7 attack that killed some 1200 people in Israel and led to about 250 being taken captive by militants. Biden's comme...

Colombia to sever diplomatic ties with Israel over Gaza ‘genocide’

Colombia says it will break diplomatic relations with Israel on Thursday over its actions in Gaza. Colombian President Gustavo Petro made the announcement at a rally in Bogotá's Bolívar Square on Wednesday, describing the Israeli government's handling of the war in Gaza as "genocidal". Israel launched its assault in the Palestinian territory following terror group Hamas' attacks on October 7, which left more than 1,200 people dead and saw more than 250 taken hostage – many of whom remain in captivity today. Now nearing its eight month, Israel's war in the isolated enclave has killed more than 34,000 people, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, condemned Colombia's announcement and accused Petro of rewarding Hamas,...

Israel says Hezbollah struck sensitive air traffic base in the north and warns of ‘another war’

Hezbollah has struck an air traffic control base in northern Israel, the Israeli military said on Sunday, and warned of "another war" with the Iran-backed militant group. The increase in fighting across the border with Lebanon as Israel battles Hamas militants in Gaza gave new urgency to US diplomatic efforts as Secretary of State Antony Blinken prepared to visit Israel on his latest Middle East tour. "This is a conflict that could easily metastasise, causing even more insecurity and even more suffering," Blinken told reporters after talks in Qatar, a key mediator. The escalation of cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has complicated a US push to prevent a regional conflict. The Israeli military said Hezbollah fire hit the sensitive air traffi...

Israel widens evacuation orders as it shifts its offensive to southern Gaza amid heavy bombardments

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s military on Sunday ordered more areas in and around Gaza’s second-largest city of Khan Younis to evacuate, as it shifted its offensive to the southern half of the territory where it says many Hamas leaders are hiding. Heavy bombardments were reported overnight and into Sunday in the area of Khan Younis and the southern city of Rafah, as well as parts of the north that had been the focus of Israel’s blistering air and ground campaign. Many of the territory’s 2.3 million people are crammed in the south after Israeli forces ordered civilians to leave the north in the early days of the 2-month-old war. With the resumption of fighting, hopes receded that another temporary truce could be negotiated. A weeklong cease-fire, which expired Friday, had...
