Two Labour politicians are suspended for allegedly making anti-Semitic comments
Two Labour politicians, Graham Jones and Azhar Ali, have been suspended from the party after allegedly making anti-Semitic remarks at a gathering.
Mr Ali, who is on the ballot paper at the upcoming Rochdale by-election, allegedly blamed people in the media from certain Jewish quarters for fuelling criticism of a pro-Palestinian Labour MP.
It then emerged on Tuesday that former Labour MP for Hyndburn, Graham Jones, allegedly referred to "f-ing Israel" at the same meeting and that UK citizens volunteering to fight for the Israeli Defense Forces should be locked up.
A third senior Labour politician, Hyndburn councillor Munsif Dad, also attended the gathering and has reportedly been "spoken to" by Labour officials.
But Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of failing to act quickly enough, despite repeatedly claiming that rooting out anti-Semitism from the party was one of his top priorities.

Israel announced the reopening of the Kerem Shalom border crossing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, just four days after its closure following a rocket attack that tragically claimed the lives of four soldiers. In a collaborative effort between the Israeli army and COGAT, the defence ministry body responsible for Palestinian civil affairs, trucks loaded with vital supplies such as food, water, shelter equipment, medicine, and medical supplies, generously donated by the international community, have begun arriving at the crossing from Egypt.
These essential supplies will undergo thorough inspection before being transferred to the Gaza side of the crossing, ensuring their safe and efficient delivery to those in need. Additionally, the statement highlighted the reopening of the Erez border crossing between Israel and northern Gaza, further facilitating the flow of aid into the Palestinian territory. This swift response underscores Israel's commitment to addressing the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza, even in the face of security challenges, and demonstrates a willingness to engage in cooperative efforts to alleviate suffering and promote stability in the region.

Amid rising tensions, Saudi Arabia issues a stern warning to Israel against conducting a ground operation in Rafah City, Gaza. Israeli forces take control of Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt, leading to reports from Palestinians of extensive overnight attacks by the Israeli Air Force. The IDF confirms the airstrikes, stating they targeted Hamas and other militant sites. Saudi Arabia condemns Israel and expresses serious concern about the potential humanitarian catastrophe in Rafah City, accusing Israel of 'genocide'.

The Iraqi resistance recently issued a statement detailing their latest action against the Israeli air base in Eilat. In their announcement, they cited their ongoing commitment to opposing the occupation by the Zionist regime, expressing solidarity with the residents of Gaza, and condemning the killing of Palestinian civilians. This strike marks the fourth assault conducted by the Iraqi resistance on occupied territories within a span of fewer than 12 hours, indicating a heightened level of activity and determination.
Earlier on Tuesday, the group had targeted the Israeli base named "Jonathan" in another drone strike, showcasing their persistence in confronting perceived aggressors. Accompanying their declaration, the umbrella group of resistance factions in Iraq also released video footage capturing the moment of their drone attack on the Zionist military's air base in the port of Eilat (Um al-Rasrash), situated south of occupied Palestine. This visual evidence serves to underscore the potency and precision of their actions.
The current escalation in attacks by regional resistance groups, including Iraqās Islamic Resistance, underscores a broader trend of defiance against perceived injustices, particularly in the wake of the Israeli military's aggressive actions in Gaza. As such, these strikes represent a tangible expression of resistance against both Israeli and US interests in the region.

Hamasās armed wing said that the commander of its forces in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank was among four members of the group killed during a day-long Israeli raid in the town of Dayr al-Ghusun. A statement from the Izzaldin al-Qassam Brigades names Alaa Shreiteh, 45, as commander of the al-Qassam Brigades in the Tulkarem governorate. Shreiteh was jailed by Israel between 2002 and 2016. According to the IDF, there was a twelve-hour gun battle in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank between its forces and Hamas militants in which four Hamas men were killed. However, the identity of Alaa Shreiteh was revealed by the al-Qassim brigade early on Sunday. Hamas confirmed that four of the men killed during the raid in Deir al-Ghusun village were from its al-Qassam armed wing. The Palestinian health ministry said their bodies had been taken by the Israeli military. There was no information about the fifth man, whose body was too disfigured for immediate identification, the Palestinian health ministry in the West Bank said.
