Israel's Bezalel Smotrich announces West Bank settlement plan to 'bury' idea of Palestinian state
Standing at the site in Maale Adumim, Smotrich said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump had agreed to the revival of the E1 scheme, though there was no immediate confirmation from either. 'Whoever in the world is trying to recognise a Palestinian state today will receive our answer on the ground. Not with documents nor with decisions or statements, but with facts. Facts of houses, facts of neighbourhoods," Smotrich said. Israel froze construction plans at Maale Adumim in 2012, and again after a revival in 2020, because of objections from the US, European allies and other powers who considered the project a threat to any future peace deal with the Palestinians. The move could further isolate Israel, which has watched some of its Western allies condemn its military offensive in Gaza in the war with Palestinian militant group Hamas and announce they will recognise a Palestinian state. Palestinians fear the settlement building in the West Bank - which has sharply intensified since the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel that led to the Gaza war - will rob them of any chance to build a state of their own in the area. In a statement headlined "Burying the idea of a Palestinian state," Smotrich's spokesperson said the minister had approved the plan to build 3,401 houses for Israeli settlers between an existing settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem. In Maale Adumim, Smotrich told Reuters the plan would go into effect on Wednesday, without specifying what would happen on that day. The Palestinian foreign ministry called the plan an extension of crimes of genocide, displacement and annexation. Israel has long rejected accusations of genocide and rights abuses and said it is acting in its own defence. Hamas described the plan as part of Israel's "colonial, extremist" policies and called on Palestinians to confront it. Jordan's foreign ministry condemned the move as a flagrant violation of international law. Peace Now, which tracks settlement activity in the West Bank, said there were still steps needed before construction, including the approval of Israel's High Planning Council. But if all went through, infrastructure work could begin within a few months, and house building in about a year. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more 'The E1 plan is deadly for the future of Israel and for any chance of achieving a peaceful two-state solution. We are standing at the edge of an abyss, and the government is driving us forward at full speed," Peace Now said in a statement. HOUSE BUILDING 'IN A YEAR' Palestinians were already demoralised by the Israeli military campaign which has killed more than 61,000 people in Gaza, according to local health authorities, and fear Israel will ultimately push them out of that territory. About 700,000 Israeli settlers live among 2.7m Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israel annexed East Jerusalem in a move not recognised by most countries but has not formally extended sovereignty over the West Bank. The UN and most world powers say settlement expansion has eroded the viability of a two-state solution by fragmenting Palestinian territory. The two-state plan envisages a Palestinian state in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, existing side by side with Israel. Israel disputes this, citing historical and biblical ties to the area, which it calls Judea and Samaria, and says the settlements provide strategic depth and security. Most of the international community considers all settlements illegal under international law, a position backed by numerous UN Security Council resolutions, including one which called on Israel to halt all settlement activity. Israel rejects this interpretation, saying the West Bank is "disputed" rather than "occupied" territory. Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand imposed sanctions in June on Smotrich and another far-right minister who advocates for settlement expansion, accusing both of them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank. Smotrich's popularity has fallen in recent months with polls showing his party would not win a single seat if parliamentary elections were held today. His party largely draws its support from settlers.

The funeral of murder victim Stephen Brannigan will be held this weekend. The 56-year-old died following an incident in the Marian Park area of Downpatrick on Sunday. Mr Brannigan, a father and a grandfather, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers and ambulance service personnel were called to the property following a report of the death of a man at the address. The funeral will be held on Saturday, August 16 in St. Brigid's Church in Downpatrick and will be followed by interment in Struell Cemetery. Stephen Brannigan News in 90 Seconds - August 14th The chapel is the same place where a prayer vigil was held last Sunday evening after his body was discovered. Prayers at this gathering were also said for Fr John Murray, who had been assaulted with a bottle in the sacristy of St Patrick's Church. The elderly priest who was due to retire this week is reportedly 'progressing' in hospital. In the funeral notice, Mr Brannigan is remembered as a beloved father and grandfather. 'Dearly beloved husband of the late Dorenda, and much loved father of Gemma and Ciara, loving grandfather of Sophie, Lily, Connor, Clodagh, Holly and Ruairi, dear son of Gerry and Kathleen, and brother of Damien, Michelle, Adrian and Paul,' the funeral notice read. It added: 'Family and friends are welcome to pay their respects at his parents' home." Stephen Brannigan died after an attack in Downpatrick on Sunday (PSNI/PA) On Monday, Mr Brannigan's family thanked the local community for their support following his death. "We want to express our particular thanks to those who organised and gathered for the beautiful prayer vigil in St Brigid's Church in the town on Sunday evening,' they said. "It means so much to us at this difficult time and reflects the very special people who make up the Marian Park and wider Downpatrick community. "Stephen was known among his neighbours and friends as someone who was always willing to help out, ready to do whatever needed to be done for the good of others. "Even the day before he died, he was tending the graves of friends and neighbours, as he did, almost every day, the grave of his late wife Dorenda, who died five years ago from cancer. "Stephen faced many difficult issues in his life. We know his life was not perfect. But for us, he was our dad, our grandad, our son and our brother. "His rock through all of this was Dorenda. We pray they will be reunited now in perfect peace and love.' Hugh Malone appeared in court on Wednesday after being charged with the murder of Mr Brannigan, and attempted murder of Fr Murray. The 30-year-old appeared before Newtownards Magistrates' Court today via video-link from Belfast's Musgrave police station.

I watched my little girl take last breaths in pool of bubbles as she drowned at water park party… lifeguard didn't help
The devastated father watched on as a lifeguard failed to save his daughter's life FINAL MOMENTS I watched my little girl take last breaths in pool of bubbles as she drowned at water park party… lifeguard didn't help A FATHER has spoken out after he watched his young daughter drown in a tragic incident at a water park. Kyra Hill, 11, died at a birthday party after drowning in a designated swimming area at Liquid Leisure in Windsor. Advertisement 7 Kyra's grieving parents described the moment they lost their daughter Credit: Good Morning Britain / X 7 Kyra, 11, vanished in August 2022 while at a leisure centre birthday party Credit: PA An inquest previously heard how the water Kyra drowned in was marked as "shallow." Her heartbroken parents have now spoken out about the horror of watching their daughter take her last breaths. Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Kyra's father, Leonard, spoke about watching on in horror as his daughter sunk below the murky water three times while a lifeguard watched on and did nothing. He described seeing CCTV footage showing the 17-year-old life guard fail to act while standing in the exact spot his daughter drowned. Advertisement Kyra vanished in August 2022 while attending the leisure centre with her family. Authorities were called but the youth was tragically found over an hour later. She had drowned in a body of water 2.68 meters deep despite a 17-year-old lifeguard managing to reach the exact point where she disappeared under the water. An inquest into Kyra's death heard that the lifeguard was unable to rescue her as the staff at Liquid Leisure were only qualified to perform "surface-water rescues." Advertisement Kyra's parents are now battling for tighter safety measures to be implemented at leisure centres in the hopes of preventing another tragedy. They say that the lifeguard should have been able to rescue their daughter from drowning and are calling for better training to be provided. Man, 24, dies after falling into paddling pool in back garden and drowning in 'freak accident' Kyra's dad described CCTV footage showing the lifeguard standing in a "pool of bubbles" at Kyra's "pinpoint location" as his daughter took her last breath. He told how he felt the lifeguard was "never going to dive under" to save his daughter. Advertisement Leonard added that the lifeguard had "not been trained, she was only trained in surface rescue" saying that the teen lifeguard was "not equipped with the right tools." Kyra's grief stricken family are pushing for safety regulations to be improved around water parks, asking for CCTV to be manned at all times. 7 Kyra's dad, Leonard, described watching footage of his daughter take her last breaths Credit: Good Morning Britain / X 7 Kyras mum, Heather, is calling for safety at leisure centres to be improved Credit: Good Morning Britain / X Advertisement 7 An inquest ruled that Kyra's tragic death was unlawful Credit: PA The couple pointed out that no emergency plan or protocol was in place at the leisure centre. Kyra's mother, Heather, said that despite CCTV footage capturing her daughters death no staff were trained or briefed on how to respond in an emergency situation. CCTV footage at the pool was not being monitored she said, adding that it took more than an hour for the footage to be checked after emergency services arrived. Advertisement Shortly after the CCTV was seen, a diver managed to locate Kyra and pull her body from the water. Kyra's tragic death was previously ruled as unlawful at an inquest. At the time the coroner commented on poor signage describing deep water as "shallow." The coroner, Heidi Connor, went on to describe the sings as "falsely reassuring." Advertisement Ms Connor also commented on children being permitted to swim without buoyancy aids and parents not being advised to attend with a ratio of one adult per four children. Rachel Marcus, representing Kyra's devastated family, asked the coroner to consider a charge of gross negligence manslaughter by Liquid Leisure owner Stuart Marston. She also called for an additional charge of corporate manslaughter. The inquest found breaches included the lack of an emergency plan or a risk assessment.
