Reconnaître l'État de Palestine. C'est l'annonce faite hier par Emmanuel Macron. La France officialisera cette reconnaissance lors de la conférence de l'ONU en septembre. Et les réactions sont nombreuses ce matin dans la presse internationale. The Times of Israel ouvre le bal avec les mots de Marco Rubio, secrétaire d'État américain. Il dénonce une décision « imprudente. Une gifle aux victimes du 7-Octobre », peut-on lire dans les colonnes du quotidien. The New York Times parle d'« une déclaration surprise », après « des mois d'allusions et d'hésitations ». The Washington Post y voit « une initiative diplomatique audacieuse dans un contexte de colère mondiale croissante face à la famine à Gaza ». La BBC relève la réaction de l'adjoint de Mahmoud Abbas, Hussein Al-Cheikh. Pour lui, cette décision reflète « l'attachement de la France au droit international ». Même tonalité du côté du mouvement terroriste du Hamas, qui parle d'une décision « allant dans la bonne direction pour rendre justice à notre peuple palestinien opprimé ». Et d'un appel à d'autres États pour « en faire autant ». À l'opposé, Benyamin Netanyahu prévient : « un État palestinien serait un tremplin pour anéantir Israël, et non pour vivre en paix à ses côtés ». The Times of Israel raconte comment la déclaration de Macron est tournée en dérision par plusieurs membres du gouvernement israélien. « Alors qu'Israël est susceptible de prendre des mesures punitives contre la France », écrit le quotidien, « certains ministres ont estimé que la réponse la plus appropriée serait d'annexer le territoire sur lequel les Palestiniens espèrent établir leur futur État ». Le ministre des Finances d'extrême droite, Bezalel Smotrich, remercie Macron d'avoir « fourni une nouvelle raison convaincante pour enfin appliquer la souveraineté israélienne sur les régions historiques de Judée et de Samarie ». Le ministre de la Justice, Yariv Levin, affirme, lui, que « la terre d'Israël appartient au peuple d'Israël ». D'autres vont plus loin encore. Le ministre de la Diaspora, Amichai Chikli, relaie la vidéo virale de la prétendue gifle de Brigitte Macron à son mari, expliquant que « c'est la réponse du gouvernement israélien » aux déclarations du président. La ministre de la Protection de l'environnement, Idit Silman, poste sur le réseau social X une image générée par IA de Macron embrassant le chef du Hamas, Yahya Sinwar [tué le 17 octobre 2024 à Gaza, NDLR]. Dans l'opposition, le ton est moins provocateur. Ayman Odeh, président du parti Hadash-Ta'al, parle d'une « étape nécessaire pour un peuple qui a tant souffert ». Gilad Kariv, député travailliste, fustige une « course puérile entre ministres pour attaquer le président français », au lieu de travailler à une stratégie de long terme. Il conclut : « une bande de bébés trop grands dirige notre pays ». À lire aussiConflit israélo-palestinien: «Reconnaître l'État de Palestine, c'est changer de prisme» Mais ces réactions israéliennes tranchent avec d'autres lectures dans la presse internationale. Arab News rapporte que l'Arabie saoudite « salue cette décision », la qualifiant de « prise de position historique ». De Riyad au Caire, en passant par Amman et Beyrouth, la France est saluée pour avoir « enfin franchi le pas » – aux côtés de 147 pays déjà favorables à la reconnaissance de la Palestine, selon le site argentin Todo Noticias. Et au Royaume-Uni, c'est le Guardian qui observe une onde de choc à Westminster. Un « comité multipartite de députés », appelle le gouvernement britannique à reconnaître à son tour l'État de Palestine, « immédiatement ». Le Premier ministre Keir Starmer, « confronté à une pression croissante pour tenir la promesse du Parti travailliste », convoque une réunion d'urgence avec la France et l'Allemagne. Objectif : discuter de la crise humanitaire à Gaza. Une crise qualifiée de « famine indéfendable » par le chef du gouvernement britannique. Et les bilans continuent de s'alourdir. Au moins quarante morts jeudi dans des frappes israéliennes, selon la défense civile locale. Parmi eux, des enfants et des personnes venues recevoir de l'aide. Quarante-cinq autres sont mortes de faim en quatre jours. Dans un communiqué glaçant, Philippe Lazzarini, commissaire général de l'UNRWA, parle d'« habitants de Gaza transformés en cadavres ambulants ». Il décrit des jeunes « émaciés, faibles, et courant un risque élevé de mourir s'ils ne reçoivent pas le traitement dont ils ont besoin de toute urgence ». Et rappelle que les médecins de l'agence survivent eux-mêmes avec « un petit repas par jour », selon Sky News Australia. Car, reconnaissance ou pas, ce sont bien la guerre et la famine qui se poursuivent sur le terrain.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quarta-feira (23/07/2025): O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB), proibiu as comissões de Segurança Pública e de Relações Exteriores de realizarem ontem sessão para homenagear o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Motta publicou um ato no qual veta a realização de reuniões dos colegiados até o dia 1º de agosto, quando se encerra o recesso parlamentar. A decisão de Motta frustrou oposicionistas, que classificaram a medida como “ilegal”, como afirmou o lider do PL na Câmara, deputado Sostenes Cavalcante.

PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, June 25: International papers criticise Israel's "genocidal" food distribution system in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Russia is planning to train Chinese troops, according to an exclusive report. Next, Bulgarian papers worry about a black leopard that's roaming free. Finally, inflatable crocodiles threaten the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos in Venice.  In Gaza, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army since the new food aid distribution system was set up. Many papers are denouncing the system. French Communist paper L'Humanité writes "Gaza, we are not forgetting you", over a photograph of a little girl standing in the rubble. The paper calls Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's policies "genocidal", saying that food distribution in the enclave is turning into a death trap. Italian communist newspaper Il Manifesto describes what's happening as "Hunger games". The paper denounces "the Israeli trap" against the starving Palestinians and what it calls the "murderous food distribution system" in the enclave – the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Spanish centre-left daily El Pais reports that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has called the Gaza aid system an "abomination", citing UNRWA's head Philippe Lazzarini, who calls for a return to the previous practices of aid delivery. Finally, an illustration in the left-wing British daily The Guardian by Ben Jennings shows a single bag of food aid, surrounded by dozens of body bags.  We turn next to Russia and an exclusive article in The Kyiv Post. The Ukrainian paper reports that Russia is planning to train Chinese troops to counter NATO weapons, according to an unnamed Ukrainian intelligence source. The source shared that Moscow will host some 600 Chinese military personnel this year. Staying in Russia, President Vladimir Putin has signed a law on the creation of a national digital service, the financial daily Vedomosti reports. The service will combine the functions of a messaging app and a government service, where Russians will be able to prove their identity through digital ID, for instance. The article doesn't mention anything about privacy concerns or how the data would be stored.  In Bulgaria, local papers are worried about an animal on the loose. A town in eastern Bulgaria called Shumen is on its toes because of a wild animal – but not one that is usually seen in the Balkans. It's a black leopard and according to Bulgarian officials, it's been roaming free for more than two months now, as Bulgarian daily Off News reports. Police forces are still trying to catch the animal that they say didn't escape from a zoo, but is privately owned. Balkan Insight reports that the "fugitive black leopard is going viral" with numerous memes circulating online. An AI-generated meme relayed by Euronews portrays the leopard enjoying a traditional Bulgarian meal. Finally, we end with the inflatable crocodiles that are threatening the wedding of a well-known billionaire. Jeff Bezos's Venice wedding plans have had to be altered, the Guardian reports. The couple had to move their wedding venue after activists threatened to fill the Venice canals with inflatable crocodiles and block the guests from joining the festivities. The wedding has received huge backlash as activists warn that the event could turn the World Heritage Site into a "playground for the rich".  You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Türkiye celebrates Istanbul's conquest by launching gas platform "Türkiye sent off its first floating production unit Osman Gazi, towards the Sakarya Gas Field in the Black Sea. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan led the ceremonial send-off in Istanbul, accompanied by top officials and a traditional mehter band. Marking the 572nd anniversary of the Conquest of Istanbul, the platform's journey through the strait began with presidential blessings and radio communications. Expected to double gas output, Osman Gazi is seen as Türkiye's bold stride towards energy independence." US flag returns to Syria after 12 years of frozen ties "In a landmark move, US envoy Thomas Barrack raised the American flag over the ambassador's residence in Damascus. It was its first appearance since 2012. Though embassy operations remain suspended, Barrack's visit signals renewed US-Syria engagement. Appointed on May 23, Barrack met with Syria's President Ahmed al Sharaa and reopened the residence with Foreign Minister Asaad al Shaibani. He reiterated US support for current leadership, hinted at peace talks with Israel and confirmed that sanctions had been lifted by President Trump, including Syria's removal from the ""terror sponsor"" list." Ukraine open to Istanbul talks but wants Russia's peace terms first "Jumping on to another volatile region, Ukraine has expressed its readiness to participate in peace talks planned to take place in Istanbul next week. However, Kiev insists that Russia must share its proposed peace terms in advance. Ukraine described Moscow's refusal to do so as “non-constructive,” warning that the meeting risks being ineffective without transparency. Meanwhile, the United Nations has reported a sharp increase in civilian casualties, with over 13,000 civilians killed since the conflict began. The United States has called on Russia to agree to a comprehensive ceasefire, emphasising that there is no military solution to the conflict. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also urged all parties to keep dialogue channels open despite stalled diplomatic efforts." South Koreans show record turnout as early voting continues "South Koreans turned out in record numbers on Friday for the second day of early voting, aiming to end months of political chaos sparked by ousted President Yoon Suk-yeol's controversial martial law declaration and impeachment. With the economy under strain and a revolving door of interim leaders, liberal frontrunner Lee Jae-myung leads the race, followed by conservative Kim Moon-soo. Already, a record 21 percent of 44.4 million registered voters have cast ballots, with overseas turnout hitting historic highs ahead of the June 3 election." "Hamas: Israeli ceasefire response fails to meet core demands "Palestinian resistance group Hamas says Israel's response to a US-backed Gaza ceasefire proposal falls short of its demands. The plan, put forward by US President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, remains under Hamas review. Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes bombed southern Lebanon, striking several towns days after a deadly attack breached the 2024 truce. Separately in Gaza, the head of the United Nations relief agency for Palestinian refugees Philippe Lazzarini, warned that Israel's war tactics, including starvation, threaten future generations in Gaza. He urged unhindered access to aid to avert a deepening humanitarian catastrophe."

Mednarodna skupnosti poziva Izrael, naj v celoti odpravi zaporo dobav človekoljubne pomoči v Gazo, več držav je v nasprotnem primeru pripravljenih ukrepati. Prvi mož Agencije za pomoč palestinskim beguncem Philippe Lazzarini se boji, da se uničenje v enklavi bliža kritični ravni. Morda se bližamo točki, ko Gaza ne bo več primeren kraj za življenje Palestincev. - Članice Unije potrdile 17-ti sveženj sankcij proti Moskvi. - Vlada podpira predlog stranke NSi za možnost prenosa delnic Vzajemne na družinske člane. - V Ljubljani začela delovati platforma za prevoze Uber.

Dos meses después de que se bloqueara toda la ayuda humanitaria, Philippe Lazzarini que "la hambruna se está extendiendo" dentro de Gaza.

Superata la soglia dei 50'000 morti e dei 110'000 feriti, la Striscia di Gaza sembra aver perso il conto. Negli scorsi giorni, diverse organizzazioni non governative hanno lanciato l'ennesimo grido d'allarme sulla mancanza di beni di base come acqua, cibo e farmaci. Le Nazioni Unite per bocca di Philippe Lazzarini hanno definito la Striscia una “zona di morte post-apocalittica“. In una Gaza dove da 50 giorni non entrano più aiuti, dove sopravvivono 2 milioni di palestinesi e con loro almeno 58 ostaggi israeliani rapiti il 7 ottobre 2023, Israele rimane intenzionato a colpire fino all'annientamento di Hamas. E intanto Hamas si dice disposto a cedere la Striscia a condizione di poter mantenere quel che resta dei suoi arsenali. Modem fa il punto della situazione prima di tutto umanitaria con:PADRE CARLOS FERRERO, parrocchia di GazaMICHELE GIORGIO, giornalista, collaboratore RSI, Gerusalemme DANIEL BETTINI, giornalista. caporedattore esteri a Yediot Ahronot, Tel AvivALESSANDRO MIGLIORATI – responsabile della logistica per Emergency, Gaza PAOLO PEZZATI, portavoce di Oxfam Italia

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 27-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,290 on turnover of $5.8-billion N-T. The market moved higher again on Thursday, after a Wall Street rally overnight that followed better profit reports than expected from major companies. Philippines on track to lead Southeast Asian tourist arrivals in Taiwan for2024 The Tourism Administration says the Philippines is on track to become the top Southeast Asian source of tourists to Taiwan in 2024. It will be the first time that visitors from the Philippines will have topped the list. Data shows that 415,635 visitors were recorded arriving in Taiwan from January to November. The figure exceeded the 384,000 visitors from Malaysia and the 376,000 tourist arrivals from Singaporeans over the same period. Thailand was fourth with 356,000 visitors, and Vietnam was fifth with 344,000. According to the Tourism Administration, the Philippines ranked at number five globally (全球) in terms of visitor arrivals in Taiwan - behind Japan, Hong Kong and Macau, South Korea and the United States. Russian Lawmaker on Trump Putin Meeting A senior Russian lawmaker believes a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin could happen as early as this month or next. The chair of the Russian Parliament's International Affairs Committee told Russian state media that plans for a meeting are at an "advanced (後階段的) stage" and that "it will take place soon". Stuart Smith has more from Kyiv UNRWA Head on Israeli Ban The head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, says an Israeli ban on his institution has not forced it to halt (停止) its services so far but that in the long run, the agency faces an “existential threat.” Israel last week formally banned UNRWA from operating on its territory. Lazzarini says he sees his agency as the target of a “massive disinformation campaign” with a “very great objective to try to dismantle the agency because of political considerations.” Greece Santorini Declares State of Emergency Greece has declared a state of emergency on Santorini because of the hundreds of undersea earthquakes that have shaken the resort island for nearly a week. The ministry of civil protection's announcement Thursday will provide authorities faster access to state resources. A magnitude 5.2 quake late Wednesday was the most powerful recorded since the series of quakesstarted on Jan. 31. A government spokesman says multiple emergency services and the military were already mobilized to support the island. The quakes has caused minimal (極微的) damage. Experts don't yet know if it could be leading to a stronger earthquake. Thousands of residents and seasonal workers have left, mostly evacuating to the Greek mainland by ferry. That was the I.C.R.T.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, was this week ordered to stop its operations in occupied East Jerusalem, three months after Israel's parliament voted to ban it. UNRWA is the main provider of humanitarian aid and other public services for Palestinians. In East Jerusalem, it runs 12 facilities that provide critical public services, including schools where more than 1,200 children are enrolled and free clinics that serve more than 70,000 people. But the impact of the ban would extend across the West Bank as well, where the organisation offers primary healthcare services and 47,000 children go to UNRWA schools. The move would also affect its work in Gaza. During Israel's war on the enclave, up to a million people at a time have sought refuge in UNRWA shelters. Pressure from the international community and pleas by UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini at the UN Security Council to stop the ban from being put into effect have failed so far. Israel insisted the ban would not be reversed and the US backed its “sovereign decision”, saying UNRWA is not the only provider of aid to Palestinians. Despite the legislation, UNRWA has stated it will continue to do its work for as long as it can, but fears are growing that the ban will have far-reaching consequences. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher speaks to Tamara Alrifai, UNRWA's director of external relations and communications, about the toll this could take on Palestinians in dire need of humanitarian assistance, and how the agency will be able to carry out its work going forward.

A dois dias para entrada em vigor de lei israelense que proíbe atuação da maior agência da ONU em Gaza, chefe da agência pede apoio ao Conselho de Segurança   a uma conclusão progressiva e ordenada do mandato; para Philippe Lazzarini, interrupção imediata dos serviços pode prejudicar cessar-fogo e solução política. 

Izrael je ponoči potrdil dogovor o prekinitvi ognja v Gazi, ki bo začel veljati jutri. V agenciji Združenih narodov za pomoč palestinskim beguncem so pozdravili sporazum in strani pozvali k njegovi uveljavitvi. Ob tem izražajo pripravljenost pomagati v mednarodnih prizadevanjih za zagotovitev pomoči razdejani enklavi. Kot je še dejal vodja agencije Philippe Lazzarini, so pripravljeni pomagati tudi pri vnovični vzpostavitvi izobraževanja v Gazi in zagotavljanju primarnega zdravstva. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Delodajalci le za uskladitev minimalne plače z inflacijo za 1,9 odstotka, sindikati za 3,5-odsotno zvišanje - Videti spregledano je slogan Chemnitza, ki poleg Goric nosi naziv evropske prestolnice kulture - Pred rokometaši druga tekma na svetovnem prvenstvu; nasprotniki prihajajo z Zelenortskih otokov

Comissário da agência fala de implicações de leis aprovadas no Parlamento de Israel e prestes a entrar em vigor; Philippe Lazzarini argumenta que serviços na área de conflito são essenciais para sucesso do cessar-fogo.

UNRWA chief says Israel has broken all rules of war in Gaza The UN's Philippe Lazzarini has condemned Israel's invasion of Gaza, stating that "all rules of war have been broken." The 14-month Israel's Gaza war sees escalating civilian casualties, with schools and hospitals targeted, he said. Urging a long-overdue ceasefire, Lazzarini calls for immediate action to safeguard civilians. He warned that the "world must not become numb." Israel targets homes in southern Lebanon, violating ceasefire In a sharp escalation, the Israeli military has demolished homes in southern Lebanon, defying the November 27 ceasefire. With 287 reported violations, the toll stands at 31 dead and 37 injured, official data shows.

Putin threatens 'destruction' on Ukraine after Kazan drone attack Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed "massive destruction" against Ukraine after a drone strike hit a high-rise in Kazan, over 1,000 kilometres from the frontier. The escalating aerial attacks deepen tensions in the nearly three-year conflict. While Ukraine remains silent on the attack, Putin warns retaliation will bring "regret" to those targeting Russia. Putin has previously threatened to target the centre of Kiev with a hypersonic ballistic missile in response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory. Myanmar conflict forces more Rohingya to flee to Bangladesh In the last two months, 60,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar's conflict-hit Rakhine state to Bangladesh, despite tightened border measures, according to an official.

Google faces antitrust action in Japan Japan's competition watchdog is poised to find Google guilty of antitrust violations, according to Nikkei Asia. The Japan Fair Trade Commission is expected to issue a cease and desist order, following investigations into Google's search services. It comes amid growing global scrutiny of Google's dominance, with similar actions taken in Europe and the US. The US Department of Justice recently argued that Google should divest its Chrome browser to break its search monopoly.

On Wednesday night the United Nations General Assembly demanded an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and also condemned a new law in Israel that will ban the operations of the relief agency UNRWA.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 52-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,767 on turnover of $5.8-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed lower Thursday as heavyweights across the board came under pressure to push down the broader market after a mixed performance of the U.S. markets overnight,. Market sentiment weakened amid growing fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve will slow down its pace in a rate-cut cycle following the return to the presidency of Donald Trump, who has threatened to raise tariffs when he takes office in January, which could boost inflation. NGO calls for universal affordable childcare, flexible parental leave The Childcare Policy Alliance is calling on the government to establish universal affordable childcare and more flexible parental leave systems… …to help boost Taiwan's low birth rates. The NGO argued that the existing childcare allowance is inadequate for long-term childcare expenses and often pressures women to leave the workforce, as it doesn't fully support the costs associated with (與 相關聯) quality childcare. It also emphasized that flexible leave policies encourage more men to participate in childcare, which could help counter traditional gender roles and promote a "dual income, dual childcare" model. The alliance critiqued the government' s current policies, including the rigid 30-day minimum parental leave block, which is too rigid for parents needing to take leave on an ad-hoc basis. UNRWA Chief: Agency Facing Darkest Hour The UN's aid agency in Gaza is facing its '"darkest hour", according to its top official. Philippe Lazzarini says the situation in the strip has become "dystopian", and urged member states to increase spending on UNRWA. Sally Patterson reports from New York, where the United Nations is headquartered. Philippines Transports Supplies to Disputed Shoal The Philippine navy has transported food and other supplies to a territorial ship outpost in a shoal in the South China Sea without any confrontation with Chinese forces guarding the area. The Philippine delivery of supplies and military personnel to the Second Thomas Shoal was the third such trip without any violent clash since July, when Chinese and Philippine diplomats signed a rare deal to halt a spike in violent confrontations (對抗). It's the first known agreement by China with any one rival claimant country in a specific shoal in the South China Sea, which Beijing claims almost in its entirety. The Philippines occupied the shoal by permanently beaching a navy ship in its shallows in 1999, prompting China, which also claims it, to surround the atoll with its coast guard and naval forces in what has been a continuing territorial standoff. Italy Colosseum to Host Gladiator Fights The ancient Roman Colosseum will be the venue of gladiator fights for the first time in two millennia under a $1.5 million sponsorship deal with Airbnb. Under the deal announced by Airbnb and the Colosseum on Wednesday, the sponsorship by the short-term rental giant will cover the renewal of an educational program inside the ancient Roman amphitheater (露天劇場) covering the history of the structure and gladiators. Eight of the platform's users and their plus-ones will be able to participate in faux gladiator fights after the Colosseum's closing time on May 7-8, taking the same underground route used by gladiators in ancient Rome to reach the arena. The “gladiators” will be chosen from the applicants by lottery. That was the I.C.R.T.

Comissário da Unrwa, Philippe Lazzarini, sublinha que entidade deve fazer parte de um rumo para a paz; representante diz que eventual encerramento de atuação poderá sacrificar uma geração e plantar semente de mais ódio.

Em pronunciamento feito em Nova Iorque, Philippe Lazzarini afirmou que a Agência de Assistência aos Refugiados Palestinos é vítima da guerra em Gaza; ele adicionou que as ações de Israel para banir a atuação da entidade são motivadas politicamente. 

Presidente do órgão da ONU, Philémon Yang, informou que comissário-geral da Agência de Assistência a Refugiados Palestinos, Philippe Lazzarini, participará de reunião informal para responder perguntas dos países-membros.

The Israeli parliament has passed a law banning the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, from operating in the country. Lawmakers accused UNRWA staff of involvement in the attacks of October the Seventh and diverting aid in Gaza. UNRWA's boss, Philippe Lazzarini said the measure would only deepen the suffering of the Palestinian people. A US State Department spokesman said Washington had made it clear to Israel that it was "deeply concerned".Also we have a BBC investigation into How fraudsters are cashing in on illegal migration in the UK.

Se cumplió ayer un año de los ataques terroristas del 7 de octubre de 2023 en el sur de Israel, cuando miembros del grupo islamista palestino Hamás cruzaron la frontera desde la Franja de Gaza, asesinaron a 1.206 personas, torturaron y vejaron a decenas más y secuestraron a 251. De aquellos rehenes, hoy siguen cautivos en Gaza 97, 34 de los cuales habrían muerto, según el ejército israelí. En Israel, una multitud emocionada inició las ceremonias de conmemoración en Reim, donde aquella madrugada fueron ejecutados al menos 370 jóvenes que asistían al festival de música Nova. En un mensaje televisivo emitido este lunes, el primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, prometió a sus conciudadanos que se cumplirán los objetivos de la guerra contra Hamás en Gaza fijados por su gobierno, lo que definió como una “misión sagrada”. "En el momento de la prueba suprema, demostramos una vez más que somos el pueblo de la eternidad. Un pueblo que lucha por traer luz al mundo, un pueblo que se esfuerza por difundir el bien y erradicar el mal. En cada encuentro de mi esposa y yo con nuestros combatientes, con nuestros heridos, con las familias en duelo, escuchamos una y otra vez el mismo mensaje: la guerra no debe detenerse prematuramente. Mientras el enemigo amenace nuestra existencia y la paz de nuestro país, seguiremos luchando. Mientras nuestros secuestrados sigan en Gaza, seguiremos luchando. No renunciaremos a ninguno de ellos. Yo no me rendiré". En estos 12 meses Israel desplegó una respuesta militar con pocos precedentes: sobre Gaza cayeron 22 mil bombas solo en los primeros 30 días, después de lo cual siguió una invasión de infantería en el territorio palestino. Según datos del Ministerio de Salud de Hamás, que la ONU considera fiables, estas operaciones han dejado un saldo de 41 mil muertos, 40% de ellos menores de edad. Y de acuerdo con la ONU, 66% de los edificios gazatíes fueron destruidos, incluyendo 87% de las escuelas, cifras muy por encima de casos tristemente célebres del pasado reciente, como Mariúpol en Ucrania y Alepo en Siria. Philippe Lazzarini, jefe de la agencia de la ONU para los refugiados palestinos, definió a Gaza como “un cementerio”. Mientras tanto, con el correr de los meses fue creciendo el enfrentamiento con otro grupo islamista, Hezbolá, que, en solidaridad con Hamás, bombardeaba desde Líbano en dirección a la frontera norte de Israel. Finalmente, el 23 del mes pasado se desató en esa zona una guerra abierta, en la que Israel fue matando y acorralando a los mandos medios y altos de Hezbolá, hasta asesinar a Hasán Nasralá, el máximo líder del movimiento islamista. Una semana atrás, se sumó abiertamente al conflicto otro actor de peso en la región: Irán, enemigo acérrimo de Israel, que respalda a Hamás y Hezbolá, lanzó unos 200 misiles hacia Jerusalén y Tel Aviv. Aunque no hubo víctimas, el hecho marcó un nuevo agravamiento en la escalada. Ayer, el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Irán elogió en un comunicado el ataque de Hamás del 7 de octubre de 2023 como "un giro en la historia de la lucha legítima de la nación palestina contra la ocupación y la opresión del régimen sionista". Además, describió aquella operación como una liberación de "la ira histórica contenida del pueblo palestino contra ocho décadas de ocupación, asesinato y genocidio". En esa nota Irán también acusó a los aliados de Israel de estar detrás de aquellas acciones del estado hebreo. La Mesa Internacional con Gustavo Calvo y Leo Harari.

Children make up half of Gaza's entire population of over two million, but none have been able to attend school since the 7 October attacks triggered nearly a year of devastating war.Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the UN Palestine refugee agency, UNRWA, told UN News during an interview in New York on Tuesday that the longer the fighting goes on, the greater the chance of losing an entire generation.For 75 years, UNRWA has provided free basic education to millions and the agency is determined to reopen classrooms as soon as possible.Mr. Lazzarini told Khaled Mohamed what impact the constant targeting of schools and civilian infrastructure was having on Gazans as daily airstrikes continue.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, the UN's refugee agency for Palestinians. This week, six UN relief agency staff were killed in an Israeli strike on a central Gaza school that had been turned into an emergency shelter for thousands. UNRWA's death count in Gaza since the beginning of the war is over 220. Is his agency's mission now impossible?

In an exclusive interview with ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,' the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, speaks to Mehdi on the threats that face both Palestinians in Gaza and his own organization. “I don't know how much worse it can become, I have to say, we are losing and we are lacking words to describe the situation,” says Lazzarini. UNRWA is currently fighting a polio outbreak in Gaza, but a successful vaccination campaign there is nearly impossible given Israel's bombardment. “This is a communicable disease which doesn't know any border and could also spread in the entire region, including Israel,” Lazzarini tells Mehdi. In addition to disease, UNRWA faces repeated Israeli attempts at dismantling their entire organization. From accusations that staffers took part in the Oct. 7 attack, to allegations that Hamas builds tunnels under UNRWA schools.“I do not have the military expertise to look at what's underneath the entire Gaza Strip… All these allegations need to be investigated. First, we need to investigate the killing of the UN staff,” says Lazzarini. Watch the full conversation above to hear what the Commissioner-General also has to say about war crimes in Gaza.Also on the show: why can't U.S. news organizations get their coverage of Donald Trump right? Mehdi is joined by journalist and author Wajahat Ali as well as former chief speechwriter to President Jimmy Carter, James Fallows, to talk about it. The conversation includes Ali calling for “fact checkers to retire for this election cycle,” Fallows on the “failure of imagination” among liberal white journalists, and a dark joke about detention camps from one of the two that we'll leave for them to tell. Then there is Afghanistan, where the situation for women and minorities gets worse by the day, under Taliban rule, but which is being ignored by much of our mainstream media.“What we see today in Afghanistan is gender apartheid. Women have been erased from public life. Their basic rights have been taken away from them,” Ali Maisam Nazary, Head of Foreign Relations for the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan (NRF), tells Mehdi on this week's show.Watch the full interview to hear more on the status of women in Afghanistan. Mehdi also challenges Nazary on the fighting in the Panjshir Valley, the NRF's record in the last government, and the difficulties that lie ahead. If you're a paid subscriber, be sure to let us know what you think in the comments, and who you would like to see Mehdi talk to next!

The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, partnership said that around 495,000 people — around 22 percent of the Gaza population — are still facing "catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity". This is also known as IPC Phase 5: the worst hunger rating. *) Every day, 10 Gaza children lose one or both legs due to Israel's war — UN https://trtworld.com/middle-east/every-day-10-gaza-children-lose-one-or-both-legs-due-to-israels-war-un-18176961 Ten children per day are losing one or both of their legs in Israel's genocidal war in besieged Gaza, the head of the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees said. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini cited figures from the UN children's agency UNICEF and said amputations often take place in "horrible conditions", without anaesthesia. He said that figure "does not even include arms and hands,” of which there are many more cases. *) Australia awaits Assange's arrival after US guilty plea https://trtworld.com/australia/australia-awaits-assanges-arrival-after-us-guilty-plea-18176954 WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has walked free from a court on the US Pacific island territory of Saipan in a deal that allowed him to head straight home to Australia. During the three-hour hearing, Assange pleaded guilty to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defence documents. He said he had believed the US Constitution's First Amendment, which protects free speech, shielded his activities. *) ICC issues arrest warrants for Russian military chief, ex-defence minister https://www.trtworld.com/europe/icc-issues-arrest-warrants-for-russian-military-chief-ex-defence-minister-18176787 The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for former Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu and General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov. The ICC said the decision was made after an investigation into alleged international crimes committed in Ukraine between October 2022 and March 2023. Shoygu and Gerasimov are accused of ordering attacks on civilian infrastructure, as well as committing crimes against humanity of inhumane acts.

The same vote on Tuesday showed that US President Joe Biden scored better with his approach on preserving democracy. The poll shows that less than five months before the November election, the electorate is divided on the candidates' approach to issues that respondents view as the country's top problems.

This is a special preview of the Inside Geneva podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts.   Recently UNWRA, the UN's refugee agency for Palestinians, has been facing scrutiny of what exactly their role is in the current Israel-Hamas conflict. Many people around the world hadn't heard of UNRWA before this conflict - so what is it exactly, why was it founded, and does it need to continue? Journalist Imogen Foulkes takes a deep dive, talking to UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, Israeli diplomat Nina Ben-Ami, Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Louis Charbonneau of Human Rights Watch. Inside Geneva is produced by Swissinfo,  a multilingual public service media based in Switzerland.

*) UN agency for Palestinians barred from North Gaza aid deliveries The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees says that Israel had definitively barred it from making aid deliveries in northern Gaza, where the threat of famine is highest. The head of the agency Philippe Lazzarini said on X that “despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the UN that they will no longer approve any UNRWA food convoys to the north.” He called the decision “outrageous,” saying the decision makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a “man-made famine.” *) Israeli war to only end with Jews settling in northern Gaza: Knesset member The head of the Knesset's National Security Committee Zvika Fogel has said “the Israeli war on Gaza will end with Jews settling in northern Gaza,” while speaking to Israeli public broadcaster KAN. He added that “Israel must end the war when Jews settle in the entire northern Gaza Strip.” Fogel called for encouraging the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from Gaza saying, whoever wants to “voluntarily migrate” will receive a “grant” from him. *) Four suspects remanded in custody over Moscow concert attack Four men accused of involvement in the massacre at a Moscow concert hall that killed 137 people have been remanded in custody, as Russia observed a national day of mourning following the attack claimed by the Daesh terror group. President Vladimir Putin has vowed to punish those behind the “barbaric terrorist attack,” and said the four gunmen had been arrested while trying to flee to Ukraine. Kiev has strongly denied any connection to the attack. All four suspects have been charged with terrorism, according to Moscow's Basmanny district court, and face life imprisonment. *) Senegal anti-establishment candidate leads in presidential poll Senegal's anti-establishment candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye appeared to be closing in on a first-round victory in a presidential poll. Opposition figure Faye had promised voters “a profound change” and a presidential programme of left-wing pan-Africanism. Faye was well ahead of former ruling coalition Prime Minister Amadou Ba, according to preliminary results from individual polling stations published by local media and on social networks. *) Pro-Palestine protesters stage event at New York Metropolitan Art Museum Protesters covered the steps of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art with a large patchwork blanket displaying messages of solidarity with Palestine to draw attention to Israel's war on Gaza. Many demonstrators gathered on the steps of the museum, also known as The Met as they chanted slogans such as “Free Palestine” and “How many children did Israel kill today?” They also distributed brochures that highlighted the museum's silence over Israel's “genocide” of Palestinians and its support for its war in Gaza, advocating for a world where justice prevails.

Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General, UNRWA, has the latest on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, as negotiators push for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

V Gazi je vse več otrok na robu preživetja zaradi lakote, opozarja Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija. Okoliščin lakote, kakršne spremljamo tam, do zdaj v svetu ni bilo, poudarja glavni komisar agencije Združenih narodov za pomoč palestinskim beguncem Philippe Lazzarini. Lakota se največkrat pojavi postopno, kot posledica različnih dejavnikov, Gazo pa je zajela v le štirih mesecih. In kot so Združeni narodi opozorili že večkrat, je krivec tokrat izključno človek. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Vojna se nadaljuje tudi v Ukrajini; tako Kijev kot Moskva sta zaradi napadov evakuirala prebivalce z obmejnih regij. Zahod vse težje organizira dobavo orožja in streliva za Ukrajino, a v Ramsteinu je bilo kljub temu slišati zaveze o trdni podpori proti ruski agresiji. - Zaposleni na večini upravnih enot danes znova stavkajo. Med zahtevami so v ospredju višje plače in načrt zaposlovanja. Če jim vlada ne bo prišla naproti, čez teden dni sledi nov stavkovni dan. - Podlaga za referendumsko odločanje o izgradnji drugega bloka krške nuklearke bo resolucija o dolgoročni miroljubni rabi jedrske energije. Dokument bi že morala obravnavati vlada, a usklajevanja še niso končana. Med pomisleki je tudi cena.

*) MSF urges blocking Israel's Rafah assault Doctors Without Borders chief Christopher Lockyear warns against Israeli war in southern Gaza's Rafah, citing a potential catastrophe that must not be allowed to happen. His concerns stem from a recent visit to the Palestinian enclave, where he witnessed the urgent humanitarian needs at the densely populated Rafah crossing. Lockyear urges diplomatic solutions to prevent further conflict escalation, emphasising the importance of stability. MSF stands prepared to offer aid amidst ongoing tensions in the region. *) Israel blocks UNRWA chief from entering besieged Gaza UN's relief agency for Palestinians or UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini expressed frustration as Israel barred his entry into Gaza, a territory facing a looming famine. During a press conference in Cairo, Lazzarini disclosed the denial, which disrupted his planned visit to Rafah. He accused Israeli authorities of the denial on social media and underlined that Palestinian children are dying of dehydration and hunger. *) US' Blinken travels to Saudi Arabia, Egypt for potential Gaza truce Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken embarks on a crucial trip this week, aiming to secure a ceasefire and boost humanitarian aid in Israel's Gaza war. His journey begins in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, where talks with Saudi leaders in Jeddah are pivotal for regional stability. Following Saudi Arabia, Blinken will fly to Cairo on Thursday for talks with Egyptian authorities. *) 50 allies to meet as US funds for Ukraine's defence cease US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin aims to reassure European allies of President Joe Biden's commitment to support Ukraine amid concerns over funding challenges. Austin leads discussions at the Ukraine Defence Contact Group summit at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where approximately 50 allies convene to provide military assistance, emphasising collective efforts to bolster defence capabilities. Despite obstacles, Austin reaffirms US commitment to Ukraine's security, aiming to galvanise collective action and solidarity to address evolving challenges. *) Nvidia unveils powerful 'superchip' for AI Nvidia has unveiled its latest chip for powering artificial intelligence, known as Blackwell, as it seeks to consolidate its position as the major supplier to the AI frenzy.

Ein neuer Name, ein neues Leben: Ein mutmasslicher Terrorist soll seit Jahrzehnten in der Schweiz leben. Zudem: Gewalt an Kindern ist verboten – dennoch schlagen viele Eltern zu. Und: die heikle Rolle der Medien bei der Berichterstattung im Nahost-Konflikt. Mein Nachbar, der Bombenleger: Versteckt sich ein italienischer Terrorist in der Schweiz? Kann es sein, dass ein mutmasslicher Bombenleger jahrelang unter neuem Namen in der Schweiz lebte? Am 28. Mai 1974 töteten italienische Rechtsextremisten bei einem Bombenattentat acht Menschen und verletzten 100. Einer der mutmasslichen Attentäter, der damals 17-jährige Marco Toffaloni, soll sich seit Jahrzehnten in der Schweiz aufhalten. Er lebte offenbar an verschiedenen Orten, unter anderem in einem Dorf in Graubünden. Nun beginnt der Prozess gegen den mittlerweile 67-Jährigen. Doch verhaftet hat ihn die Polizei bis heute nicht. Ohrfeigen verboten: Wenn Eltern ihre Kinder schlagen Ein Schlag auf den Hintern oder eine Ohrfeige – was in der Schweiz lange toleriert wurde, ist verboten. Das Parlament hat sich zudem für einen Gesetzesartikel für das Recht auf gewaltfreie Erziehung ausgesprochen. Dennoch kommt es häufig zu Gewalt. In der «Rundschau» brechen verschiedene Eltern das Tabu und erzählen, warum sie zugeschlagen haben. Die Rolle der Medien: Propaganda im Nahost Im Krieg will jede Seite gut dastehen. Die Wahrheit wird dabei zumindest teilweise untergraben. In der israelischen Berichterstattung über den Gaza-Konflikt stehen die kämpfenden Soldaten, das Schicksal der Geiseln und die Gräueltaten der Hamas im Zentrum. Das Leiden der Zivilbevölkerung in Gaza findet kaum statt. Umgekehrt steht bei den arabischen Sendern das Leid der Palästinenserinnen und Palästinenser im Fokus. Kritische Fragen zur Hamas sind eine Seltenheit. Eine Reportage über die Propaganda von Israelis und Palästinensern. Zudem diskutiert Philippe Lazzarini, Generalkommissar des UNO-Hilfswerks für Palästina-Flüchtlinge im Nahen Osten (UNRWA) mit Gion-Duri Vincenz über die Situation im Gaza-Streifen.

*) Israel killed 13,430 Palestinian children since October 7 — Gaza Israeli air strikes and ground invasion have killed 13,430 children since the start of Tel Aviv's carnage in the besieged Palestinian enclave, Gaza's Media Office said. It added that 8,900 women were killed over 150 days, and 7,000 people, 70 percent of whom are women and children, are still under the rubble or missing. The media office said that 364 health personnel and 132 journalists also were killed during the period. *) Dismantling UNRWA would sacrifice 'generation of children' The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is calling out threats to shut down the organisation. Philippe Lazzarini said cutting UNRWA loose would leave a generation of Palestinian children in the lurch, breeding anger and violence. He told the UN General Assembly that stopping UNRWA's work is a bad idea because it would hurt millions who depend on their help, especially at a time when things are already tough. UNRWA is facing funding freezes and pressure from Israel to close up. *) Thousands flee as attack blamed on M23 rebels claims 15 lives in DRC's east The M23 militia fighters have launched sweeping attacks in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, killing at least 15 people and leading thousands to flee, witnesses and government officials said. Testimony from locals, health workers and government officials on Monday pointed to attacks in the Rutshuru region of the eastern province of North Kivu. Access to the North Kivu capital Goma has been virtually severed. *) US top court reverses Colorado move to disqualify Trump from state ballot The US Supreme Court has handed Donald Trump a major victory as he campaigns to regain the presidency, barring states from disqualifying candidates for federal office under a constitutional provision involving insurrection and reversing a judicial decision that had excluded him from Colorado's ballot. The justices on Monday unanimously reversed a December 19 decision by Colorado's top court to kick Trump off the state's Republican primary ballot on Tuesday after finding that the US Constitution's 14th Amendment disqualified him from again holding public office. The Colorado court had found that Trump took part in an insurrection for inciting and supporting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by his supporters. *) EU hits Apple with record $2B antitrust fine in Spotify case Brussels has fined Apple $2B for thwarting competition from music streaming rivals via restrictions on its App Store, the iPhone maker's first-ever penalty for breaching EU rules. A huge lump sum inflated a basic penalty of $43M included as a deterrent - a first for the European Union's antitrust authorities on Monday. The European Commission charged Apple last year with preventing Swedish streaming service Spotify and others from informing users of payment options outside its App Store, following a 2019 complaint by Spotify.

One of the key groups responsible for providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), whose leader is sounding the alarm about what he calls a “man-made disaster.” But UNRWA itself has come under intense criticism recently, after the Israeli government alleged that 12 of its staff in Gaza were involved in the October 7th attacks on Israel. As a result, over a dozen countries suspended funding, including the United States, its largest donor. Philippe Lazzarini is the Commissioner-General of UNRWA and he joins the show from Jerusalem.  Also on today's show: Lawrence Wright, Author & Executive Producer, “God Save Texas”; Dr. Jonathan Metzl, Author, “What We've Become”  Learn more about your ad choices.

Philippe Lazzarini ,The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees,  UNRWA,   voiced disappointment over Switzerland's recent move to cut aid to the agency, saying he hoped the Swiss officials would change their minds. The lower house of the Swiss parliament voted this month to cancel the funding it provides the UN agency for Palestinian refugees amid persistent accusations that the organization glorifies terror against Israel. Former Labor party Knesset member  Dr Einat Wilf is the author of The War of Return: How Western Indulgence of the Palestinian Dream Has Obstructed the Path to Peace KAN's Mark Weiss spoke to her about the role of UNRWA.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, the UN's refugee agency for Palestinians. He is just back from Gaza where the temporary truce gave him a chance to assess the scale of the humanitarian crisis. With Israel vowing to resume its war on Hamas, could Gaza soon be unliveable?

With millions trapped inside Gaza, under siege and under fire, the humanitarian situation spirals towards catastrophe. And the UN reports women and children make up the majority of fatalities. Philippe Lazzarini is commissioner general of UNRWA, the United Nations agency providing relief for Palestinian refugees. He spoke to Christiane in his first interview since visiting Gaza this week and called for a humanitarian ceasefire, saying the scale of the tragedy is unprecedented.  Also on today's show: Former member of the Knesset Ksenia Svetlova; Atlantic staff writer Caitlin Dickerson  Learn more about your ad choices.
