Must respect humanitarian law: EAM Jaishankar on Gaza crisis
Friday, 19 January 2024 Walking the diplomatic tightrope on the Israel-Hamas conflict at the NAM summit in Uganda, external affairs minister S Jaishankar called for a sustainable solution to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and called upon all states to respect international humanitarian law, while also emphasising that terrorism and hostage-taking were unacceptable. At the same time, international humanitarian law must always be respected by all states,'' the minister said.
Senate Democrats displayed growing internal division over US arms sales to Israel, with approximately one-third voting to block $1.097 billion in weapons transfers. Led by Bernie Sanders, these progressive Democrats highlighted humanitarian concerns in Gaza, challenging the Biden administration's stance. The votes revealed increasing tensions within the party regarding Israel's military campaign, though the resolutions were ultimately unsuccessful.

Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours. The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern. Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away.
While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza. The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region. This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions.
