      Israel in ‘heart of crisis’ as PM delays controversial judiciary overhaul

      Addressing the nation following widespread protests involving hundreds of thousands of people, Mr Netanyahu said he would “turn over every stone” to find a solution. “From a will to prevent the rift in the nation, I have decided to delay the second and third reading (of the bill) in order to reach a broad consensus,” he said. He also warned, however, that Israel is “at a dangerous crossroads”. Israel’s main labour union called off a national stoppage shortly after his address. “The strike that I announced this morning will end,” said Arnon Bar-David, chairman of the Histadrut labour federation.

      US urged to hold Assad to account as power shifts in Middle East

      Moves to re-engage Bashar al-Assad without him taking steps to stabilise Syria or commit to reforms should be met by more robust US leadership that holds the Syrian leader to account and addresses a litany of US policy failings, a group of prominent former officials say. In an unprecedented letter to President Joe Biden and secretary of state, Antony Blinken, the officials have called for moves to stop a regional drift towards normalisation with Assad and impose a formalised ceasefire that facilitates a more impactful aid effort and helps ignite a political process. © Provided by The Guardian The appeal follows moves by the UAE to normalise relations with Assad, which are likely to be followed by other Arab states.

      Saudi National Bank chairman quits after triggering Credit Suisse turmoil

      The chairman of Credit Suisse’s largest shareholder has quit after his comments helped trigger the slump in its shares that led to its rescue. Ammar Al Khudairy said he had resigned from Saudi National Bank for personal reasons, days after saying he would “absolutely not” inject more cash into the struggling Swiss bank. Credit Suisse’s stock plunged to its lowest level on record following his comments during an interview. That helped drag all European banks lower as investors shied away from risk following the collapse of three lenders in the US. It also hammered Saudi National Bank’s 9.9pc stake in Credit Suisse, which it acquired for 1.4bn Swiss francs (£1.3bn) in November last year. UBS later agreed to buy Credit Suisse for…

      Humza Yousaf inherits divided SNP amid clamour for reform

      After a bracingly close result that raises fundamental questions about the core priorities of the wider party membership, Humza Yousaf begins his tenure as the Scottish National party’s first ethnic minority leader and soon to be first Muslim first minister of Scotland with a distinct set of challenges. Immediately after the leadership announcement, there was evident relief particularly from those younger, progressive activists who had dreaded the success of the socially and fiscally conservative Kate Forbes. Campaign groups such as Back Off Scotland, which presses for protest-free buffer zones outside abortion clinics, tweeted their approval. But others made plain their consternation that such a sizeable chunk of their fellow members were willing to set aside Forbes’ personal opposition to equal marriage and…
