“Gaza burns”

Israel launched its long -awaited land attack on Gaza City on Tuesday, forcing thousands of Palestinians to flee when the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted some of its heavier locks in the city since the Hameas Israel war began.

“Gaza is burning,” Israel Defense Minister Israel wrote on X.

That task, Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Evi Defern said, which is to secure the launch of the remaining hostages in Hamas and completely destroy the armed group. Defrin said that the process “will continue as long as necessary,” adding that the current estimates put its schedule in “several months”.

Three sections of the active and reserve service forces are currently deployed in Gaza City, although this number is expected to rise in the coming days, as Israel seeks to target up to 3,000 fighters from Hamas, which the country believes is working in the city. Hamas, at the same time, condemned the attack, saying that it may increase the exacerbation of the humanitarian catastrophe that is already mixing Gaza.

Such destruction was highlighted in a new report on Tuesday, in which the UN investigation committee concluded that Israel committed “four genocide” against the Palestinians in Gaza. This includes killing the Palestinians, which caused “serious and mental harm”, “deliberately draws on the conditions of the calculated life group to achieve its physical destruction in all or partially”, and “imposing measures aimed at preventing births within the group.”

The 72 -page report was killed by compensation for aid, forced displacement, and the destruction of the fertility clinic as a guide. It also accused senior Israeli officials, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli President Isaac Herzog, of inciting these actions. “The responsibility of these brutal crimes lies in the Israeli authorities at the highest levels that organized a mass campaign for nearly two years with a specific intention to destroy the Palestinian group in Gaza,” said Navi Pillay, Chairman of the Committee. Nearly 65,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the conflict began.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement calling for the cancellation of the committee: “Israel categorically rejects the distorted and wrong report.” This report was assigned by the United Nations Human Rights Council, which Israel has repeatedly accused of bias. However, the investigation committee does not officially talk about the United Nations, which has not yet been used the term “genocide” to describe Israel’s actions in the war despite facing international pressure to do so.

When the tanks entered Gaza City on Tuesday, many Western powers expressed fears that the attack on the ground for Israel will only lead to more deaths. The British Secretary of State, Foreign Minister, wrote to Israel, “The new Israeli Defense Army attack on Gaza is completely reckless.”

What we are following

Clashes in Scarboro Shawwal. The Coast Guard in China accused the Philippine ship on Tuesday for one of its ships stationed near Scarboro Shawwal in the South China Sea. Manila denied these allegations, instead that the Chinese forces used water cannons to damage the Philippine fishing vessel and injured a crew – a common tactic of the Beijing Army. China admitted that it had used water cannons, but said it only did so after it entered more than 10 Filipino government ships water around the shallow.

This incident comes less than a week after Beijing was appointed part of Scarboro Shawwal as a national natural reserve, which Manila responded to by offering a diplomatic protest. Both countries have clashed for the ownership of disputed marine lands for years, although these skirmishes have become more frequent in recent months.

China’s actions are “another forced attempt to apply for the overwhelming regional and navy claims in the South China Sea at the expense of its neighbors,” said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about appointing nature reserves in Beijing. Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom have also condemned China’s allegations of environmental protection as a trick to expand its influence.

Corruption on both sides. Seventeen candidates are competing for his highest position on Tuesday during the general elections of Malawi, but it seems that the narrow race comes to only two people: President Lazaros Chakuerra and his predecessor Peter Matrovika. The last time ChakWera and Mutharika competed for the presidency, the country’s constitutional court abolished the victory of Mrattika and called for the restart of Chakwera in 2020.

Democratic activists provided the court at that time, even when both candidates found themselves drowning in corruption scandals. With new allegations of voters and potential tampering, public opinion that goes to the general elections on Tuesday is not optimistic.

The high costs of living, food lack of climate change, and economic stagnation are among the biggest concerns of voters. Nearly 75 percent of Malawi live below the Poverty line of the World Bank of $ 3 per day, and about 50 percent of the population do not get adequate nutrition. ChakWera has pledged to improve the country -based economy in the country, while Mutharika has pledged to reduce inflation and enhance infrastructure development.

Wide -scale corruption. The Sudanese government in South Sudan stole billions of dollars from public funds since its independence in 2011, even when the country suffers from a catastrophic hunger crisis, a new report of 101 pages from the United Nations Human Rights Committee in South Sudan was found on Tuesday.

“While a small group of powerful actors looting and avoiding the country’s wealth and resources, which led to the enrichment of themselves, the state has effectively gave up its sovereign responsibilities towards its residents, and the use of external sources of critical services,” says the report. “Corruption kills southern Sudan.” More than 7 million people in South Sudan are currently facing extreme hunger, according to the World Food Program.

Among the affected revenue flows, $ 1.7 billion is canceled from $ 2.2 billion to develop infrastructure, while 95 percent of roads under the oil road initiative are incomplete. Instead, a lot of money from this program has been transferred to companies associated with Benjamin Paul Mail businessman, which was appointed by President Salva Kiir this year.

The southern Sudanese government denies these allegations, describing them as “ridiculous” and claiming that it does not have enough time to respond to the accusations of the report.

Difficulties end

Not all mummies come from ancient Egypt. A new study published on Monday found that some of the oldest human burial seems to be arising from the other side of the world – that is, southern China and Southeast Asia. According to Peter Belwood, the co -author of the study, these archaeological sites contain mummies between the ages of 4000 and 14,000 years, which dates back beyond the oldest Egyptian mummies about 4,500 years ago.
