'Nonsense' for South Africa to accuse Israel of genocide, says foreign secretary
Sunday, 14 January 2024 UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has said it is "nonsense" for South Africa to accuse Israel of genocide amid its war with Hamas.
South Africa accuses Israel of breaching the UN Genocide Convention, saying that even the deadly October 7 Hamas attack could not justify such alleged actions, as it opens a case at the top UN court.
In a bold and audacious operation, Israeli naval commandos conducted a surprise raid in northern Lebanon, reportedly capturing a significant member of Hezbollah. The operation, described as "jaw-dropping," underscores Israel's commitment to countering threats from militant groups in the region.
Details surrounding the raid remain somewhat murky, with reports indicating that Israeli forces targeted a location near the coast of Batroun. Eyewitnesses described a swift and coordinated effort, with commandos landing on the beach and apprehending the Hezbollah official before retreating rapidly to their naval vessels.

In a passionate and defiant address, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a stark ultimatum to Israel and the United States, threatening "devastating retaliation" for their continued military actions against Iran and its allies. Khamenei's remarks come in the wake of escalating tensions following Israel's recent strikes on Iranian military targets, which Iran claims resulted in significant casualties. As the region brims with uncertainty and fear of further conflict, Khamenei's warning serves as a potent reminder of the fragile balance of power in the Middle East. The implications of his threats could have far-reaching consequences, not only for Iran's relations with its adversaries but also for the stability of the entire region. With potential military responses looming, the international community watches closely, aware that any miscalculation could ignite a wider confrontation.
