British Israeli soldier killed in Gaza, reports say
He was named locally as 20-year-old Sergeant Yisrael Natan Rosenfeld from the city of Ra'anana.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said it is 'looking into reports that an IDF soldier who died in combat in Gaza is a British national'.
The IDF soldier, of the 601st Combat Engineering Battalion, was killed by an explosive device on Sunday, the Times of Israel reported.
The paper said Mr Rosenfeld moved to Israel from London with his family 11 years ago.
Israel has been operating in Gaza since the Hamas militant group's October 7 2023 attack on Israel.
More than 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the war began, including more than 400 during the fighting in Gaza.
US-led ceasefire efforts have repeatedly stalled.
The Israeli offensive has devastated Gaza and killed more than 56,000 people, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, a branch of the Hamas government.
The death toll is by far the highest in any round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

Benjamin Netanyahu corruption trial delayed on diplomatic and security grounds
An Israeli court has cancelled this week's hearings in Benjamin Netanyahu's long-running corruption trial, accepting a request made by the prime minister on classified diplomatic and security grounds. 'Following the explanations given … we partially accept the request and cancel at this stage Mr Netanyahu's hearings scheduled' for this week, the Jerusalem district court said in its ruling, published online by Netanyahu's Likud party. The ruling said that new reasons provided by Netanyahu, the head of Israel's spy agency the Mossad and the military intelligence chief justified cancelling the hearings. It comes after Donald Trump last week called for the case to be thrown out. In remarks on social media, the US president suggested the trial could interfere with Netanyahu's ability to join negotiations with the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Iran, adding that the US was 'not going to stand' for the continued prosecution, prompting Netanyahu to thank him in a message on X. In a social media post, Trump described the case against the Israeli premier as a 'witch hunt', saying the trial 'should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero'. Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust – all of which he denies. He has cast the trial against him as an orchestrated leftwing witch-hunt meant to topple a democratically elected rightwing leader. In one of the cases, he and his wife, Sara, are accused of accepting more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods such as cigars, jewellery and champagne from billionaires in exchange for political favours. In two others, Netanyahu is accused of attempting to negotiate more favourable coverage from two Israeli media outlets. The prime minister has requested multiple postponements to the trial since it began in May 2020. Netanyahu's lawyers had asked the court to excuse him from testifying over the next two weeks so he could focus on security issues after a ceasefire with Iran and amid ongoing fighting in Gaza where Israeli hostages are held. They submitted the prime minister's schedule to the court to demonstrate 'the national need for the prime minister to devote all his time and energy to the political, national and security issues at hand'. The court initially rejected the lawyers' request, but said in its ruling on Sunday that it had changed its judgment after hearing arguments from the prime minister and other senior officials. A spokesperson for the Israeli prosecution declined to comment on Trump's post. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said last week that Trump 'should not interfere in a judicial trial in an independent country'. Trump said Netanyahu was 'right now' negotiating a deal with Hamas, though neither leader provided details, and officials from both sides have voiced scepticism over prospects for a ceasefire soon. On Friday, the Republican president told reporters he believed a ceasefire was close. With Reuters and Agence France-Presse

Let Kneecap and Bob Vylan speak freely
Photo byGetting charged with a terror offence is the best thing that could have happened for Mo Chara's career. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, one third of Belfast rap trio Kneecap, was in Westminster Magistrates' Court two weeks ago, brought there by the Metropolitan Police for allegedly brandishing a Hezbollah flag at a London gig over six months prior. It's the perfect formula: Kneecap have made pro-Palestine and anti-British-state stances a keystone of their product; now they can say on stage at Glastonbury that they're being persecuted for their activism by a government more interested in policing their language than looking after starving children in Gaza; and they might even be right. Taking a leaf out of the Kneecap playbook, rap duo Bob Vylan made their own headlines at Glastonbury on Saturday. On the same afternoon as Kneecap's set at the West Holt stage, in the baking heat, one half of the pair led the crowd in a chant: 'Death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]'. Somerset Police, for some reason, have got involved. Wes Streeting told Laura Kuenssberg yesterday that it was 'appalling'; the BBC – who broadcast the set live – is embarrassed; Glastonbury festival is in a pickle – how to marry their punk free-speech stick-it-to-the-man credentials with their acts who contravene such basic politeness codes? They have settled for saying they are 'appalled' by Vylan, just like Streeting. Can you believe in free speech and be annoyed by rude and misguided people at the same time? The answer is simple: this should never have been a police matter, Glastonbury needn't apologise, and the BBC has bigger things to worry about than broadcasting bad music by admittedly unpleasant but staggeringly banal rappers. I would suggest Labour cabinet ministers also had more pressing issues to address, on this of all weekends. Palestine flags are common at Glastonbury anyway, but this year they are ubiquitous, with too many to count in the thousands-strong crowd that shouted 'death to the IDF' back at Bob Vylan. That crowd was unusually extreme. But no matter your fealty to any cause, and no matter the political tastes of the professional Glastonbury-goers (simplistic and ugly they may be), it is hard to argue that any response to the Bob Vylan interjection beyond 'ignore them' is appropriate, or commensurate. In this, the millennial left and the young online right are united. The pragmatic case made by both sides is simple: by investigating the duo, or charging them, Bob Vylan's campaign is elevated beyond any reasonable proportion; it brings more eyeballs to the message (totally counterproductive if you are also minded to condemn them); and hands them the argument that they are victims of an oppressive state. This is precisely how the charges against Mo Chara have cemented his career. But the principled case is far more important: Free-speech absolutism is the only logical position in a modern democracy. In Britain the left has been hounded by agents of the state as far back as the wars against Revolutionary, and then Napoleonic France. Spies, provocateurs, and strong-armed police tactics have been used to suppress conversations and organisations for the best part of two centuries. Free speech as a societal axiom was and is the only answer to these bullying tendencies. The last ten years, when all sorts of left-liberals cowardly abandoned this principle, were a nadir for the movement, both in Britain and abroad. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe Maybe that same movement, watching Kneecap and this rapper face over-the-top condemnation will recover some of its sense. It's almost always fine for people to say things that other people don't agree with. That may be cliché to argue, but the fact that we keep having to argue this suggests the fact is neither ingrained nor obvious. [See also: The Kneecap crossover event] Related

US tariff relief for UK carmakers and aerospace comes into force
Car manufacturers exporting to the US will face a 10% tariff quota, down from 27.5%, while the aerospace sector will see a 10% levy removed entirely. Sir Keir hailed the 'historic trade deal' with the US, clinched after Donald Trump imposed the import taxes as part of his 'liberation day' tariffs on countries across the world. The Prime Minister and US president finalised the deal for those sectors at the G7 summit, but levies on steel have been left standing at 25% rather than falling to zero as originally agreed. Talks are ongoing to secure 0% tariffs on core steel products from the UK. The executive order signed by Mr Trump suggests the US wants assurances on the supply chains for UK steel intended for export, as well as on the 'nature of ownership' of production facilities. Sir Keir said: 'Our historic trade deal with the United States delivers for British businesses and protects UK jobs. 'From today, our world-class automotive and aerospace industries will see tariffs slashed, safeguarding key industries that are vital to our economy. 'We will always act in the national interest – backing British businesses and workers, delivering on our Plan for Change.' Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the deal would save hundreds of millions each year and safeguard thousands of jobs. 'We agreed this deal with the US to protect jobs and support growth in some of our most vital sectors – and today, we're delivering on that promise for the UK's world-class automotive and aerospace industries.' Kevin Craven, head of aerospace trade association ADS, said the sector 'hugely appreciated' the efforts to reach a deal. Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders chief executive Mike Hawes said the agreement was 'good news for US customers and a huge relief for the UK automotive companies that export to this critically important market'. The Government is also due to update Parliament on Monday on ethanol and quotas on US beef. Under the deal, it was agreed that a 20% tariff on US beef imports to the UK be removed and the quota for US beef raised to 13,000 metric tonnes. A 19% tariff on ethanol imports from the US is also due to be removed, with a tariff-free quota of 1.4 billion litres of US ethanol applied. The bioethanol industry says the deal has made it impossible to compete with heavily subsidised American products. The UK's largest bioethanol plant warned last week that it could be weeks from stopping production. Hull-based Vivergo Fuels said the start of talks with the Government was a 'positive signal' but that it was simultaneously beginning consultation with staff to wind down the plant.
