130 charities say controversial Gaza aid group must be shut down

GAZA — More than 130 charities and other NGOs are calling for the controversial Israeli and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to be shut down.Over 500 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid since the GHF started operating in late May, following Israel's three-month blockade of Gaza, the organisations said. Almost 4,000 have been injured.The organisations, including Oxfam, Save the Children and Amnesty, say Israeli forces and armed groups "routinely" open fire on Palestinians seeking aid.Israel denies its soldiers deliberately shoot at aid recipients, and has defended the GHF system, saying it provides direct assistance to people who need it, bypassing Hamas interference.Tuesday's joint statement from some of the world's biggest charities says the...

US Senate holds marathon overnight vote on Trump's 'big beautiful bill'

WASHINGTON — The US Senate has held a marathon voting session through the night on a sprawling budget bill that is critical to President Donald Trump's agenda.The One Big Beautiful Bill Act - running to nearly 1,000-pages - includes increased spending for border security, defence and energy production - offset to a degree by cuts to healthcare and food-support programmes.Its fate hangs in the balance as Trump's Republicans - who control both chambers of Congress - remain split over how much to cut welfare programs by as they seek to extend tax breaks.If approved in the Senate, the bill will return to the lower House of Representatives for a final vote before being sent to Trump to be signed into law.Overnight from Monday into Tuesday, senators argued for or against amendments -...

Satellite imagery reveals ongoing work at Iranian nuclear site bombed by US

WASHINGTON — New satellite images show continuing work at Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment plant, which was struck by US B-2 bombers just over a week ago.The imagery was collected by Maxar Technologies on Sunday. Maxar said it “reveals ongoing activity at and near the ventilation shafts and holes caused by last week’s airstrikes on the Fordow fuel enrichment complex.”The pictures show “an excavator and several personnel are positioned immediately next to the northern shaft on the ridge above the underground complex. The crane appears to be operating at the entrance to the shaft/hole.”According to Maxar, several additional vehicles are also seen below the ridge and are parked along the path that was built to access the site.Earlier this month, American B-2 bombers dropped more...

Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been suspended as a Thai court considers a petition for her to be removed

Thai prime minister suspended over leaked phone call

BANGKOK — Thailand's Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who has come under mounting pressure to resign over her leaked phone conversation with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.The clip, in which Paetongtarn called him "uncle" and criticised a Thai military commander, sparked public anger and a petition for her dismissal, which the court is now considering.That could make Paetongtarn the third politician in the powerful Shinawatra clan - which has dominated Thai politics for the past two decades - to lose power before completing their term.Her ruling coalition is already teetering with a slim majority after a key conservative ally abandoned it two weeks ago.The Constitutional Court voted 7-2 to suspend her while they consider the case...

UK high court rejects challenge against selling military parts to Israel

LONDON — Human rights groups lost their legal challenge to the British government's decision to supply Israel with parts for F-35 fighter jets and other military equipment, in a ruling handed by London's High Court on Monday.The court, which looked into the allegation that the UK selling arms to Israel through a global pool was against the law, stated that it was not up to the courts to tell the government to withdraw from the group.The case was brought by the UK-based Global Legal Action Network and a Ramallah-based human rights group Al-Haq, in conjunction with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and Oxfam.They argued that there was a “clear risk” that the UK's indirect supply of essential F-35 components to Israel — which have been linked to its recent military...

Pakistan to consider extending deadline for Afghan refugees facing mass deportation to leave
