Sir Keir Starmer has delivered his first Labour Party conference speech as prime minister.
In a speech briefly disrupted by a pro-Palestine protester, he addressed the new government’s unpopular cuts to the winter fuel allowance, and warned of further tough decisions to turn the country around.
However, there were some announcements which will be welcome to many, including the introduction of a Hillsborough law, and guaranteed homes for veterans, young care leavers, and victims of domestic abuse.

Palestinian resistance fighters clashed with Israeli forces in the Jenin refugee camp early Tuesday. The fighting involved detonating IEDs, which severely damaged Israeli bulldozers. This reflects ongoing tensions in the West Bank, where Palestinians continue to resist Israeli military and settler aggression. The incident is part of broader struggles in Jenin and surrounding areas, highlighting the intensifying violence in the region following Israeli operations in Gaza.

In response, Israel conducted airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. This violence is part of the broader conflict, which has caused thousands of casualties across Lebanon and Palestine since October 2024.

Israeli occupation forces launched a late-night raid on the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, but were met with fierce resistance from the Al-Quds Brigades and local Palestinian fighters. The operation quickly escalated as the fighters ambushed the Israeli troops near the al-Ain refugee camp, responding with heavy gunfire and detonating explosive devices. The incursion into Nablus was part of a broader wave of Israeli military operations targeting Palestinian areas, but the strong retaliation from local resistance groups highlighted the ongoing volatility and increasing clashes in the region.
