Israel arms Gaza gangs to weaken Hamas
Israel revealed on Thursday it has "activated" clans of Palestinians as part of its war in Gaza, confirming rumours it is working with anti-Hamas groups inside the strip. A senior Israeli politician and former deputy prime minister on Thursday had accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of approving the transfer of large amounts of arms to organised crime families in Gaza. In a video posted online late on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu said the government made the move to "activate" local clans on the advice of 'security officials,' in order to save lives of Israeli soldiers. Avigdor Lieberman, the leader of the opposition Yisrael Beiteinu party, had made the accusation in an interview with the radio station Kan Bet, and suggested that the weapons transfer was approved without having gone through the proper channels. "The head of the Shin Bet knows, I'm not sure the Chief of Staff knows," he said. "We're talking about the equivalent of ISIS in Gaza. No one can guarantee that these weapons will not be aimed at Israel. We have no way of monitoring or tracking it." An earlier statement by the Prime Minister's office did not deny the accusation, saying only that: 'Israel is acting to defeat Hamas in various ways upon the recommendation of the heads of the security establishment.' The allegation has sent shockwaves throughout Israel, with many questioning why Mr Netanyahu would empower dangerous groups on the country's border. Critics say it is further evidence that Israel is helping criminals disrupt aid distribution in the strip. Israel has a record of empowering groups potentially dangerous to its security to weaken major enemies. In the early 1980s, it supplied ammunition to its current arch-enemy Iran during the Iran-Iraq war. Mr Lieberman's claims follow a post on social media on Wednesday by a group called the Yasser Abu Shabab Popular Forces that urges displaced Palestinians to return to their homes in eastern Rafah, an Israeli military-occupied area in southern Gaza, claiming they will be protected. However, accounts from Gaza suggest the group is regarded less as a source of safety than a dangerous experiment, one that many say is backed, if not engineered, by Israel. The group's leader Yasser Abu Shabab, is viewed with suspicion and reportedly commands around 75 armed people, many of whom have criminal records for drug trafficking and murder. His group operates outside the framework of any recognised Palestinian authority and is accused of trying to create an alternative government model amid the leadership vacuum created by the war and the weakening of Hamas 's control. Footage recently posted online shows the growing presence of such militias in areas of southern Gaza controlled by the Israeli military, the Israeli outlet Haaretz reported on Thursday. 'The emergence of such groups reflects Israel's refusal to assume its responsibilities as an occupying power, alongside the international community's unwillingness to intervene," Abdullah Sharshara, a Palestinian legal and social affairs researcher, told The National. "In this vacuum, Israel is testing scenarios that empower local collaborators to manage civilians in its place.' Mr Sharshara said the Abu Shabab group had been conducting raids since February, disarming residents and dismantling infrastructure in eastern areas of Rafah. Now it is claiming to offer "protection" to civilians willing to return, while effectively operating under the watch of Israeli drones and military co-ordination, he said. Munther Al Hayek, a spokesman for the Fatah movement of the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, said the operations of such groups were a betrayal of the national cause. "These gangs have no connection whatsoever to the legitimate Palestinian leadership," he told The National. 'They operate under the cover of Israeli surveillance and commit actions that go against our traditions and values. Their only goal is to fragment society, spread lawlessness, and promote normalisation with the occupation." His warning comes amid growing concern that Israel is attempting to create a 'buffer zone' in eastern Rafah – a demilitarised and locally controlled area that will allow it to shift legal and humanitarian responsibility on to proxy groups while consolidating its own security interests. The sudden rise of the Abu Shabab group, lacking any backing from the recognised Palestinian leadership and tainted by accusations of criminality, is widely seen as an Israeli experiment in government by proxy. Ordinary Gazans told The National that they view such groups not as a protective force but as collaborators offering a false promise of return in exchange for political and social submission. 'Abu Shabab and others like him are clear collaborators with the occupation,' said Musab Hijazi, who was displaced from eastern Rafah and now lives in a tent in the coastal Al Mawasi area. 'They're trying to trick people with aid and promises of safety, but what they really want is to normalise the occupation and turn us into informants,' he said. 'I'd rather stay in a tent for the rest of my life than go back under the rule of collaborators and criminals.' But as the humanitarian crisis deepens and international actors fail to act decisively, many fear more such entities could emerge, further fragmenting Gaza's already shattered landscape.

UAE helped US regulators frame digital asset policy, Circle president says
Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group says the UAE has played a vital role in helping US regulators frame digital asset policies, reflecting the growing influence of the Emirates in the global technology stage. The company, which manages the world's second-biggest stablecoin, USDC, raised more than $1 billion at its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, reflecting the legitimacy of digital assets and the growing attention they attract from regulators, its president Heath Tarbert told The National. The listing valued the New York City-based Circle at around $6.8 billion after it priced its IPO at $31 per share, well above the projected top range of $27 and $28, making it one of the most prominent crypto firms that has tapped into equity markets. With the emergence of digital asset providers in the markets, regulation becomes more magnified especially in the US, which has banked on fellow forward-looking and tech-oriented nations such as the UAE for policies that would be a standard globally, said Mr Tarbert, who also served as assistant secretary of the US Treasury and chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. "While people do look to the US, it has been looking elsewhere as well for ideas, given the importance of digital assets and trying to get it right, and they've looked no further than the UAE," he said in an interview. "I would commend … particularly the financial services authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for being at the forefront of this because they've actually helped inform US policymakers … there's a real realisation that stablecoins in particular can do a lot for our financial system." Cryptocurrencies in general are notoriously driven by trends and political developments. US President Donald Trump, arguably the world's biggest backer of crypto, gave an unprecedented boost to the sector – most notably Bitcoin – which scaled multiple highs early in his second term. "Politics can play a role in anything, but it's ultimately fundamental technology that will prevail," Mr Tarbert said, noting that Mr Trump "seeing the importance" of crypto "can also help the US continue to be a leader in technology". A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is pegged to a fiat currency and tends to be less volatile, unlike Bitcoin and the like, for which swings are influenced by simple factors such as tweets and hype. Unlike legacy financial institutions that require paperwork, approvals and physical branches, stablecoins only require an internet connection and a digital wallet. This removes barriers and allows anyone, anywhere, to send, receive and store money without needing a bank. AE Coin, the first regulated digital currency in the UAE, was granted final approval by local authorities and is scheduled to be launched 'soon'. In April, Abu Dhabi entities IHC, ADQ and First Abu Dhabi Bank plan to launch a dirham-backed stablecoin, which will be fully regulated by the UAE Central Bank, aimed at easing payment solutions. Tether, whose USDT is the world's biggest stablecoin, in August received the go-ahead to develop a stablecoin in the UAE. And Circle, which last year incorporated a unit in Abu Dhabi, partnered with Binance in December to incorporate USDC into products that can be used locally. Mr Tarbert said stablecoins will allow users to move in and out of digital assets, in addition to being a store of value globally, helping secure their finances. In particular, the UAE, a major source of remittance outflows, can benefit from their secure nature, he added. "People want to hold things like dollars in particular, but also euros and other currencies in their wallets safely and securely," he said. "The UAE is a major remittance corridor in the world … [stablecoins will provide] that fulcrum between east and west, north and south."

British relatives say Israeli aid is death trap for Gazans
British Palestinians have described the challenges that their families in Gaza are going through to get food as part of a plea for tougher action by the UK government on Israel. Wafaa Shamallakh, who works as a medical interpreter in London, described how her sister Maysa in Gaza, spent hours yesterday waiting for her husband and son to return from an aid distribution point on the Netzarim border. Maysa's husband and son Joud, 15, walked for more than an hour to reach the aid distribution point, but were forced to turn back owing to the chaos they found there. 'Thousands of people were there, coming from the north and the south of Gaza, desperate to find a bag of flour, a little sugar, maybe some pasta. It was chaos. A quadcopter flew overhead shooting at crowds,' she said. Fire and smoke bombs made it difficult for them to see. Her cousin Khaled was injured. The pair returned empty-handed that day. 'My twin nieces, Dima and Rima cried when they saw their father return with nothing. But my sister Maysa was relieved, because at least they came back alive,' she said. 'This is what it means to survive in Gaza. This is their daily life, fetching food has become a battle of survival,' she said. The family were living in tents, with 'no insulation, no water, no electricity', where they cook over fires from wood collected from the rubble. 'My sister spends hours just trying to find enough work to earn a piece of bread.' The family may have two meals on a 'lucky' days, having lentil soup for breakfast, or sharing a piece of bread in the evening. Often they 'go hungry so their children can eat'. Israel has imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip since March. A US and Israeli attempt to introduce their own aid distribution mechanism through US security contractor the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation last week has backfired. The GHF closed its distribution centres on Wednesday after several deadly shooting incidents killed scores of Palestinians and drew sharp UN condemnation. It then delayed the reopening of its aid sites on Thursday, without clarifying when they would resume service, as starvation looms in the war-ravaged enclave. People were journeying for days from different parts of Gaza to get access to food the distribution points in Rafah – but were forced to turn back owing to the scenes of chaos when they arrived. Bassem Farajallah, a British Palestinian, described how his nephew Nour travelled from Gaza city to Nusayra, from which he was then forced to walk to Rafah owing to an Israeli prohibition of vehicles there. On arrival, he found 'nothing, only danger and gunfire'. 'In the end, he managed to buy a small amount of flour for nearly 100 dollars,' he said. He was gone for three days, and Mr Farajallah described the huge emotional toll on his sister, Nour's mother, as she waited for him to return. The family has not seen meat or chicken in more than a year, and his sister a diabetic with high blood pressure, survives on bread that is stretched with salt and pasta. UK urged to take action UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer changed his tone on Gaza this week, describing the humanitarian crisis as 'intolerable' during a press conference in Scotland. Reiterating his comments in Parliament, he said on Wednesday: 'We will keep looking at further action along with our allies, including sanctions, but let me be absolutely clear: we need to get back to a ceasefire.' Though he met British Palestinians in October last year, there was a prevailing sense from the community that they were being ignored. 'I want them to look genuinely at us, to sit with us and listen and consider our demands. Listen to that community, which has families back in Gaza,' Mr Farajallah told The National. Ms Shamallakh said she felt let down by the British government's response to the conflict, which until recently supported Israel's military campaign in Gaza. The new Labour government said it would be guided by international law in its response to the conflict. Last month, it suspended new trade talks with Israel, imposed a new round of sanctions of Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, and summoned the Israeli ambassador to the UK. But those measures were undermined by the UK Trade envoy's visit to Israel the following week. Ms Shamallakh called on the UK government to impose a full embargo, political and economic sanctions, and assert 'real pressure to bring an end to the genocide' and ensure unhindered humanitarian aid access. 'Let this be a turning point where Britain stops whispering about international law and starts upholding it, because the people of Gaza are not waiting for your sympathy, they are demanding your courage,' she said.
