      Iran vows revenge after officer killed by Israel, Netanyahu says ‘war far from over’: Top points

      As the Israel-Hamas war continues to rage, an Israeli airstrike has killed a high-ranking Iranian general in the Damascus neighborhood in Syria. Iranian officials and allied terrorist groups in the region vowed revenge for the killing but did not immediately launch any retaliatory strike. Clashes along the Lebanon-Israel border between Hezbollah and Israel, too, have continued to intensify, with daily exchanges of missiles, airstrikes and shelling across the frontier. The war has devastated parts of Gaza, killed roughly 20,400 Palestinians and displaced almost all of the territory’s 2.3 million people. The mounting death toll among Israeli troops — 156 since the ground offensive began — could erode public support for the war, which was sparked when Hamas-led terrorists stormed communities…

      Ukraine says it destroyed Russian naval ship in Crimea air strike

      Ukraine claimed that its pilots used cruise missiles to destroy a large Russian landing ship at the Crimean port of Feodosia. Russia said the ‘Novocherkassk’ was damaged in a Ukrainian attack. A Ukrainian attack on the Crimean port of Feodosia damaged a large Russian landing ship and killed one person, Moscow said on Tuesday after Kyiv said it had destroyed an important Russian warship. The Russian defence ministry was cited by the Interfax news agency as saying that Ukraine had used air-launched missiles to attack Feodosia and that the ‘Novocherkassk’ large landing ship had been damaged in the raid. The ‘Novocherkassk’, which was built in Poland and entered service in the late 1980s, is designed for amphibious landings and can…

      Israel says Gaza war is like WWII. Experts say it’s ‘justifying brutality’

      Israel’s campaign of relentless bombardment against the Gaza Strip had been raging for three weeks when the country’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked to address the heavy civilian death toll in the Palestinian enclave. Netanyahu, who had earlier evoked the 9/11 attacks on New York’s Twin Towers and the Pentagon in 2001 to describe the deadly Hamas assault on southern Israel on October 7, looked to the second world war for validation, on this occasion. The hawkish Israeli premier referred to the time in 1945 – he mistakenly mentioned 1944 – when a British air raid, which had been targeting a Gestapo site, erroneously hit a school in Copenhagen killing 86 children. “That is not a war crime,” he told reporters. “That is…

      Marianne Williamson on her US presidential campaign, the economy and Gaza

      Washington, DC – Marianne Williamson says she is not merely running a protest campaign. A spiritual author who is challenging President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination in the 2024 presidential race, Williamson believes someone needs to stand up to the growing corporate influences in the United States government. “And I’m not the kind of woman who keeps my mouth shut,” Williamson told Al Jazeera from her apartment in Washington, DC, earlier this month. Only once in US history has an elected president not received his party’s nomination for a second term. That makes Williamson’s campaign a long shot. But she remains undeterred. Her campaign is one of two Democratic challenges seeking to thwart Biden’s nomination, amid drooping poll numbers for the incumbent…

      US ready to back diluted resolution on more aid to Gaza as UN vote delayed

      The United States has indicated it will back a watered-down United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israeli-Palestinian war to call for more humanitarian aid for Gaza, after a week of negotiations and four postponements, but some countries want a stronger text that would include the now-eliminated call for a truce. The UNSC once again delayed a vote on the resolution on Thursday, after the revised draft was discussed behind closed doors for more than an hour by council members. Some nations want a stronger text as the latest draft removes calls for the “urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities”. Given the significant changes, many countries said they needed to consult their capitals before a vote, which is expected on Friday. The latest draft,…

      Last set of French troops exit Niger as Sahel sheds Parisian influence

      The last French troops in Niger have withdrawn, marking an end to more than a decade of French operations to fight armed groups in West Africa’s Sahel region. “Today’s date … marks the end of the disengagement process of French forces in the Sahel,” Niger army Lieutenant Salim Ibrahim said on Friday. France said it would pull out its roughly 1,500 soldiers and pilots from its former colony after Niger’s military government demanded they depart after a coup on July 26. It was the third time in less than 18 months that French troops have been sent packing from a country in the Sahel. They were forced to leave fellow former colonies Mali last year and Burkina Faso earlier this…

      How Red Sea attacks could affect the seaborne transport of oil, gas cargoes

      While an alternative route to Europe through the Cape of Good Hope could increase Qatari voyage days by 145%, or an extra 22 days on a round-trip basis, oil prices have fallen in recent weeks amid mounting demand concerns and growing indications the world will enter 2024 in a supply surplus Several shipping companies and a few liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers have decided to avoid the world’s main East-West trade route, following attacks launched by Yemen’s Houthi group on commercial ships at the southern end of the Red Sea.
