10 Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged near-daily fire since 8 October, but the conflict escalated after Israel killed Taleb Sami Abdullah, one of Hezbollah's most senior members. In response, Hezbollah launched hundreds of drones and rockets at Israel.
The recent escalations, along with speculation that Tel Aviv is planning a full-scale attack on Lebanon once it winds down operations in Rafah, have ignited fears that a full-fledged war between Israel and Hezbollah could ripple across the Middle East.
We asked Elias Hanna, a former Lebanese General, to explain the repercussions of Israel launching a military offensive in Lebanon, whether Hezbollah is prepared to respond, and how far the group might go in reaction to any military actions from Israel | 2 342 | 12 | Loading... |

So where have these accusations come from?
Cyprus was under British colonial rule until it won its independence in 1960 but the UK still has two military bases in Akrotiri and Dhekelia which have seen a lot of activity over the past eight months. It is not clear if the Cypriot government is told what the bases are used for or what they’re transporting and the UK is not required to give them that information | 1 616 | 8 | Loading... |

18 🗞️ “Chameria is an open wound for the nation"
During the dying days of the Second World War, while much of Europe began to consider the possible defeat of Nazi Germany, the roots of more ethnic conflict were being laid in a corner of Europe.
As German forces withdrew from the Balkans in the summer of 1944, the Greek-Albanian border became the stage for what is remembered by Albanians today as the “Chameria genocide".
Now, a new generation of Albanians seeks to commemorate the expulsion and killing of Muslim Albanians from Greece 80 years ago ⤵️

27 📰 The majority of members of the US Congress, including more than 60 Democrats, have voted in favour of an amendment that would bar the State Department from using the Gaza health ministry’s count for the death toll in Gaza.
The vote pushes forward a piece of legislation that, if it passes, could further silence the discussion within the US government about the devastating impact that Israel’s war on Gaza has had on the enclave’s Palestinian population.
The amendment, a part of the State Department’s annual appropriations bill, passed on Thursday with a 269-144 vote. Sixty-two Democrats joined the vote, while only two Republicans did not vote in favour of it.
On the day of the vote, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib spoke on the floor of Congress, saying that the amendment was essentially “genocide denial”.

28 Keir Starmer, the leader of the UK Labour Party, appeared to single out Bangladeshi asylum seekers for deportation.
“I'll make sure we’ve got planes going off - not to Rwanda because that's an expensive gimmick. They will go back to the countries where people come from. That’s what used to happen,” Starmer said in an interview with The Sun.
He continued: "At the moment, people coming from countries like Bangladesh are not being removed."
His comments sparked backlash from Britain’s sizable Bangladeshi community and British Bangladeshi Labour Party members.

32 📰 “I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop,” wrote American peace activist Rachel Corrie in 2003, after witnessing the situation in Rafah, the city on Gaza’s southern border.
Weeks later, she stood between an Israeli army bulldozer and the Palestinian homes it was trying to destroy. Corrie was crushed to death.
This week at the Old Red Lion theatre in the Angel, London, Jewish lead actor Sascha Shinder has been staging the play My Name is Rachel Corrie, along with a predominantly Jewish team.
The play was first performed in 2005, with a script taken from Corrie’s diaries and emails and edited by British acting legend Alan Rickman and journalist Katherine Viner, now the editor of the Guardian.
“I was personally confused after 7 October,” Shinder told Middle East Eye. “
