'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.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has called for vigilance against Chinese infiltration after reports of a suspected spy, H6, meeting former PMs Theresa May and David Cameron. Philp dismissed claims of a substantive relationship but warned of China's efforts to infiltrate universities, businesses, and government. He said that anyone with concerns about potential influence should contact security services immediately. Report by Covellm.

Although Israel and Hamas have expressed optimism that progress was being made toward a deal, sticking points remain over the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been marked by pivotal moments of violence and tension. The war escalated dramatically on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel during the Shemini Atzeret holiday, including the massacre at the Nova Music Festival. The assault, which involved a barrage of rockets and the infiltration of militants into Israel, resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with families targeted in their homes in kibbutzim.
The brutal nature of this attack prompted Israel to declare a state of war, followed by a complete siege of Gaza. The humanitarian toll was staggering, with over 1.4 million Palestinians displaced in the ensuing weeks. The war continued with significant losses on both sides, including the deaths of high-ranking individuals such as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. On October 17, 2024, Sinwar was killed in an Israeli operation, marking a key turning point in the conflict

Yemen’s armed forces have intensified operations against Israeli military targets, including a successful strike on a site in Yaffa using the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile. This is part of their broader support for Palestinians amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Yemen's actions also include drone strikes and missile launches aimed at Israeli installations and vessels in solidarity with Gaza’s resistance. Yemen’s military vows to continue these operations until Israeli aggression ends and the Gaza siege is lifted.

Yemen’s missile strikes have disrupted US-Israel strategy, says Iran’s FM. Yemen’s support for Palestine includes missile attacks on Israeli-occupied territories and US warships. Yemen remains self-reliant in its resistance, with Israel escalating strikes on Yemen infrastructure. The country continues direct military actions and has imposed a semi-blockade on Israel-linked ships.

In a bold operation, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, freed kidnapped Palestinians held by Israeli forces during a daring ambush in Beit Lahia, Gaza. The operation resulted in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers, who were shot at close range while fortifying a building. The fighters seized Israeli weapons and liberated civilians held captive inside the structure. This marks another major escalation in the ongoing conflict, with reports of further casualties following additional attacks in the region, including the death of two Israeli soldiers in an explosion in Jabalia. Al-Qassam’s tactics shift, now incorporating martyrdom operations, signaling a new phase in their resistance against Israeli occupation forces.
