EU tells Israel to stop killing Gazans at aid points - War on Gaza
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the bloc also condemned any attacks against the World Health Organization after the agency said its facilities in Gaza had been targeted by Israeli forces.
Kallas wrote on X that "the killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible".
"I spoke again with Gideon Saar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points," she wrote.
The European Union early this month said it had struck a deal with Israel to allow more access into Gaza amid Israel's devastating military operation.
Kallas has laid out a series of actions that EU states could take against Israel unless the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza improves.
"All options remain on the table if Israel doesn't deliver on its pledges," Kallas wrote in a post on X.
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen joined the calls by saying "civilians cannot be targets. Never."
"The images from Gaza are unbearable," von der Leyen wrote.
"Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long. It must stop now. Israel must deliver on its pledges."
EU officials have said there have been some improvements for aid access to Gaza, but that a lot more needs to be done.
"Channels are open and pressure is actually being put on the Israeli counterpart, so time is of the essence," EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni said.
The spokesman also condemned attacks on "any WHO premises or any hospitals" after the UN agency said Monday its facilities in Gaza had come under Israeli attack.
"Let's be clear: premises of WHO must not be attacked and must be protected," he said.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the Israeli military had entered the UN agency's staff residence, forced women and children to evacuate on foot, and handcuffed, stripped and interrogated male staff at gunpoint.

Sudan's Amb. Receives LAS Official to Discuss Cooperation
Mohamed Mandour Sudan's Ambassador to the League of Arab States, Lt. Gen. Emad Eddin Mustafa Adawi, met with Ambassador Mohannad Saleh Lajouzi, Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Arab States and Director-General of the Arab Fund for Technical Assistance to African Countries (AFTAC), to discuss enhanced Arab-African cooperation and support for Sudanese professionals. The meeting, held at the newly inaugurated Sudanese Embassy in New Cairo, focused on arrangements for an upcoming training course for Sudanese diplomats residing in Egypt. The initiative is being organized by AFTAC and will take place at the League's General Secretariat headquarters under the supervision of Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit. Ambassador Adawi welcomed the initiative, describing it as a critical step toward building institutional capacity within Sudan's diplomatic corps. He praised AFTAC's ongoing role in technical training, noting previous successful programs that benefited Sudanese medical students, and commended the League's consistent support for Sudan, including high-level visits and educational contributions by the Arab Academy for Science and Technology. Both sides also discussed future initiatives, including plans to offer small-business training for displaced Sudanese women and a potential diplomatic training course in Khartoum, contingent on conditions stabilizing in the country.

HRW says Houthi cargo ship attacks amount to war crimes - Region
Human Rights Watch on Wednesday condemned Yemen's Houthi group for deadly attacks that sank two commercial vessels this month, calling them violations of the laws of war. The Houthis struck the Magic Seas and Eternity C cargo ships in the Red Sea, part of a campaign against maritime traffic they accuse of having links to Israel, launched over the Gaza war. Fifteen people -- including four confirmed dead -- remain missing after the July 7 attack on the Eternity C. The Yemeni rebels claimed to have "rescued" an unspecified number of crew, whose whereabouts are still unknown. The attacks were "violations of the laws of war amounting to war crimes", Human Rights Watch said in a statement, adding it found "no evidence that the ships were military targets". "They deliberately attacked commercial vessels that could clearly be identified as civilian," the New York-based group said, adding that "detaining rescued crew members is also prohibited". Rebel leader Abdel Malek al-Houthi justified the attacks, saying both ships belonged to companies serving Israeli ports. But HRW said the ships had no connection to Israel and were not heading there. The Magic Seas was en route to Turkey from China carrying fertiliser and steel billets when it was attacked on July 6. The Eternity C was heading to Saudi Arabia from Somalia after delivering humanitarian aid for the United Nations World Food Programme. "The Houthis have sought to justify unlawful attacks by pointing to Israeli violations against Palestinians," said Niku Jafarnia, HRW's Yemen and Bahrain researcher. "The Houthis should end all attacks on ships not taking part in the conflict and immediately release the crew members in their custody," she added. Since November 2023, the rebels have carried out more than 100 attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to the Joint Maritime Information Centre, run by a Western naval coalition. HRW said it had previously found those actions to be war crimes. It also warned of environmental risks, citing findings by Wim Zwijnenburg of Dutch peace organisation PAX. Zwijnenburg said satellite imagery showed large oil slicks trailing from the sites where both vessels sank, threatening wildlife in a protected nature reserve off Eritrea's coast. Oil was also reportedly washing ashore near a fishing community, he was quoted as saying. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Syria launches probes into extrajudicial killings in Druze heartland - Region
Syria said on Tuesday that it had launched investigations into reported extrajudicial killings in the country's Druze heartland, promising to punish perpetrators including any government-affiliated personnel after a week of sectarian bloodshed. The violence, which began on July 13 and ended with a weekend ceasefire, started with clashes between Druze fighters and Sunni Bedouin tribes but soon escalated, killing more than 1,300 people, mostly Druze, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor. Witnesses, Druze factions and the Observatory have accused government forces of siding with the Bedouin and committing abuses including summary executions when they entered Sweida last week. The interior ministry on Tuesday condemned "in the strongest terms the videos circulating showing field executions carried out by unidentified individuals in Sweida". For days, brutal videos on social media have appeared to show the execution of people in civilian clothing. "These acts are serious crimes punishable by law with most severe penalties," the ministry statement said. Authorities "have begun an urgent investigation to identify those involved" and arrest them, it continued, adding that "nobody is above the law". According to the Observatory, the dead included 533 Druze fighters and 300 civilians from the religious minority, 196 of whom were "summarily executed by defence and interior ministry personnel". The toll also includes 423 government security personnel, and 35 Sunni Bedouin, three of them civilians who were "summarily executed by Druze fighters", according to the Britain-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. Another 15 government personnel were killed in Israeli air strikes launched in support of the Druze, it added. Separately, the defence ministry said Tuesday that it was looking into "reports of shocking and serious violations committed by an unidentified group wearing military uniform in Sweida city". A committee would "investigate the affiliation and background of the individuals" involved, a statement said. It added that groups from other areas "were present in Sweida city and carried out revenge operations there". "No tolerance will be shown to any perpetrator of violations, even if they are affiliated with the defence ministry," Defence Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra was quoted as saying. The announcements came hours after a committee investigating massacres of mostly Alawite civilians in March released its findings, including that it had identified people "linked to certain military groups and factions" among those involved in the bloodshed. A ceasefire in Sweida took effect on Sunday, after Bedouin and tribal fighters withdrew from Sweida city and Druze groups regained control, while government forces deployed in parts of the province. The United Nations said Tuesday it was relocating its staff and their families from the city, and that it had handed a new aid shipment to the Syrian Red Crescent destined for Sweida.
