UAE calls for unified and secure Syria
The UAE has reiterated its commitment to the unity and integrity of the Syrian state as it monitored the ongoing developments in the country.
It comes just days after UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen briefed the Security Council following Israeli attacks in southern Syria that left four people dead.
During discussions with Pedersen, UAE Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Mohamed Abushahab, stressed the need to ensure "Syria is free from extremism, violence and discrimination".
The two sides also looked into the imperative of a peaceful, inclusive, Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political transition, and the UN's vital role in supporting stability and development in the country.
The violence along the border area marks increased friction between Israel and Syria, where a new leadership has been installed after rebels ousted former leader Bashar al-Assad from power in December

Blood or bread: Surviving Israel's vicious hunger regime in Gaza
Gaza's tragedy is not limited to the visible victims of massacres or the destruction of homes and cities. Alongside these horrors, Palestinians endure an unbearable level of psychological and social exhaustion, the result of a systematic Zionist policy designed to turn life in Gaza into a living hell. Even basic daily routines now demand extraordinary resilience. The simple act of survival has become a form of heroism. For more than 100 consecutive days, the Zionist colonial regime has employed one of the most vile and despicable methods of warfare ever conceived: depriving children, women and men of the most essential requirement for survival - food. Since 2 March 2025, the Israeli occupation army has closed Gaza's border crossings and entirely prohibited the entry of food, medicine or fuel. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Even prior to that date, the limited number of trucks allowed in failed to meet basic needs. But Israel exploited the world's acclimatisation to this collective punishment regime and escalated it, enforcing a total ban on food supplies. Empty shelves Palestinians in Gaza survived on the last remnants of flour and stored goods. But as the days dragged on, most items ran out. The few remaining became astronomically expensive - their prices skyrocketing 20 to 30 times. The majority of the population can no longer afford these extortionate prices. Parents are forced to ignore the cries of their hungry children and urge them to sleep on empty stomachs. Many can barely manage to secure a single, poor-quality meal per day, often a dish from a charitable soup kitchen. I ask the seller to place the biscuit in a black wrapper. He says he has none. So I hide the biscuit in my pocket like a thief But those kitchens, too, rely on border crossings to replenish their supplies. With them sealed, they resorted to existing stockpiles, which are also now running out. As a result, most have been forced to cease operations. Markets are nearly bare, with only a few stalls displaying a limited selection of items. Each morning, I walk more than 3km in search of anything edible. The era of relative comfort - when one could go out and buy a specific item from a nearby shop - is over. Now, we walk long distances not to buy, but to find out if anything can be bought at all. "Anything" in my case means a loaf of bread, a packet of biscuits, a few falafel balls - nothing more. Sometimes, I circle the market two or three times before giving up and returning to my tent. If I happen to spot something potentially purchasable, the second step is to brace myself before asking the price. Regardless of one's expectations, the answer is likely to be shocking. For example, a biscuit that once cost one shekel rose to three, then five, then 10, then 20. A chocolate bar that once cost five shekels ($1.40) climbed to 15, then 30, then 50, then 100 - before vanishing altogether. A sack of flour that once sold for $10 now costs $1,000. Stolen meals One of the most painful sights is the way children's eyes follow the goods on display. These are children whose parents cannot provide even the bare minimum, let alone what has now become a luxury. War on Gaza: How Israel is replicating Nazi starvation tactics Read More » I cannot bear their gazes. I can do very little to help. That is why, when I buy something like a biscuit, I ask the seller to place it in a black wrapper. He says he has none. So I hide the biscuit in my pocket like a thief. It is an uncomfortable feeling, but reality imposes a tremendous inner conflict. That biscuit might be my only meal of the day, and the number of children bearing the visible marks of deprivation far exceeds my ability to help. But the disappearance of goods and astronomical prices are not the only problems. There is also a severe cash shortage. For more than a year, banks in Gaza have been completely shut down. The occupying government has blocked the injection of liquidity that would enable people to carry out basic transactions. This is no accident - it is part of a broader effort to drive people to the brink. This war on liquidity has strangled people's ability to buy and sell. Traders have become excessively strict, scrutinising banknotes and coins, often refusing to accept them on the grounds that they are worn, scratched or slightly torn. This adds yet another layer to the psychological exhaustion. One might finally locate an item at a relatively "moderate" price - only 10 times the normal rate - only for the transaction to collapse because the seller refuses the buyer's money. Follow Middle East Eye's live coverage of the Israel-Palestine war Gone are the days when a seller would kindly say, "Take it now and pay later." Harsh conditions have replaced kindness with severity. If someone argues, "I didn't print this banknote - it came from the market and will return to it," the seller replies that another trader won't accept it either. In those moments, a person may feel an overwhelming urge to argue or even shout: "Why are you creating new problems? Are the ones imposed by the occupation not enough?" These are the daily battles faced in Gaza - not isolated frustrations, but constant, grinding confrontations. Cash war Recently, an even more alarming trend has emerged: traders now deduct a so-called "commission" in exchange for providing cash. Before the war, this fee had never exceeded 1 percent. Now, with banks closed and liquidity scarce, it has risen to five, then 15, 25, 40 - even 50 percent. Another example of the madness is how traders now compete with the people for their own money, leaving them with scraps. This war has exposed the greed of those merchants who exploit death to enrich themselves. This war on liquidity has strangled people's ability to buy and sell - sometimes a listed price vanishes at the till because worn notes are rejected But we must not lose sight of the real architect of this collapse: the Zionist extermination authorities, who have deliberately drained Gaza of cash in order to make life utterly unviable. After a wave of international condemnation from western governments over Israel's starvation policy, the extermination authorities adopted a new trick. They claimed they would allow some aid trucks into Gaza. After days of delay, a few lorries were permitted entry, barely meeting two percent of the population's needs. Then, during their journey, Israel bombed the security personnel escorting them, killing them, while looters attacked the aid under Israeli air force cover. This tactic - bombing escorts - has been repeated dozens of times. It is a clear signal that Israel is intentionally promoting social collapse and looting in Gaza. Aid as target Israel claims to be fighting Hamas's control over food supplies - a blatant lie that easily falls apart under scrutiny. The entities responsible for distribution are globally trusted, including the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) and the World Food Programme. Since the start of this genocidal war, these organisations have proven their ability to distribute aid swiftly and effectively. But Israel's goal has shifted: it no longer seeks to merely "manage" the population - it wants to suffocate Palestinian society entirely, waging war on international humanitarian organisations in the process. Thus, it has adopted a policy of "permission to enter, not to deliver". A few trucks are allowed in - just enough to maintain a public relations cover - while those same trucks are blocked from reaching the warehouses of UN agencies for organised distribution. Israel has fully invested in generating chaos and societal collapse. With the repeated targeting of security escorts guarding aid trucks and worsening starvation, Gaza's social fabric is unravelling at a terrifying pace. The hungry now flood truck routes, attacking the lorries in a desperate bid to acquire flour or any other available food item. In this hopeless scramble, new victims fall daily, crushed in the chaos or attacked by armed gangs. These gangs, reading Israel's signal, now raid trucks and hoard the contents to sell back at extortionate prices to the starving population. Collapse by design The current equation in Gaza is brutally simple: To feed themselves or their children, people are left with only two options - either be wealthy enough to pay $1,000 for a sack of flour, or join an armed gang. And even then, success is not guaranteed - it may simply mean being shot by a rival group. Israel is starving Gaza to death, and still the world does nothing Mads Gilbert Read More » Israel has used every vile method imaginable to wage war on Gaza and render it uninhabitable: killing people with missiles, medical denial, starvation and now societal collapse. It is driving people to the edge, forcing them into a battle for food. How are decent people - those who sit in tents with their hungry children - supposed to survive this nightmare? How are they to compete with gangs and criminals for a loaf of bread for their families? Israel's message to the people of Gaza is clear: "If you want to survive starvation, you must become savages. You must abandon your humanity entirely. That's exactly what we expect of you."

Humza Yousaf demands investigation over David Cameron's threat to ICC
Former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf will write to the chair of the British parliament's Foreign Affairs Select Committee urging an investigation into former Foreign Secretary David Cameron, Middle East Eye can reveal. The development comes after MEE reported on Monday that on 23 April 2024, Cameron privately threatened to defund and withdraw from the International Criminal Court if it issued arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. Cameron, then foreign secretary in Rishi Sunak's Conservative government, made the threat in a heated phone call with Karim Khan, the British chief prosecutor of the court. At the time, Yousaf was the Scottish first minister. MEE revealed details of the call based on information from a number of sources - including former staff in Khan's office who are familiar with the conversation and have seen the minutes of the meeting. "I absolutely believe there should be an investigation," Yousaf told MEE on Thursday. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters "I myself will be writing to the chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Emily Thornberry, to ask that committee to investigate." Yousaf added: "I've seen the comments also from Francesca Albanese, who's of course a respected legal authority on these matters, saying that there could well be a criminal offence that is also committed in this regard as well." On Tuesday evening Albanese, the prominent legal scholar and UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, told MEE that if Cameron acted as MEE's sources said he did, the former foreign secretary and prime minister has committed a "criminal offence under the Rome Statute". Exclusive: UK believes Trump may sanction Amal Clooney over ICC Palestine role Read More » The Rome Statute criminalises those who attempt to prevent war crimes from being prosecuted. Article 70 awards the ICC jurisdiction over those responsible for "impeding, intimidating or corruptly influencing an official of the Court for the purpose of forcing or persuading the official not to perform, or to perform improperly, his or her duties". Cameron currently sits as a Conservative peer in the House of Lords, the upper house of the UK parliament. Yousaf told MEE that if the report about Cameron is true, "we would need to also investigate whether or not Lord Cameron is fit to continue to sit in the House of Lords, or whether he's breached the members' code of conduct". He said that "Lord Cameron has to be held to account. We are talking about a matter of the utmost seriousness here. We need to know whether a serving British foreign secretary at the time threatened to defund the International Criminal Court." Yousaf said that "the British government really has to stand up for international law. We can't go around hectoring and lecturing the rest of the world about human rights and the importance of international law, if our very serving foreign secretary allegedly was threatening to defund the ICC - to sanction the International Criminal Court." 'Awful silence' in British media Yousaf further criticised the mainstream British media for not reporting on the story. "It betrays the awful silence that we've seen from too many in the British media establishment," he said. "I would love the British media, in its broadest sense to not just cover what is happening kind of day to day, but examine the UK's complicity in a genocide that's taking place in front of our very eyes." Francesca Albanese: David Cameron could be criminally liable for threatening ICC Read More » Yousaf, a member of the Scottish National Party, served as Scotland's first minister from March 2023 to May 2024. He strongly opposed the Conservative government's support for Israel's bombardment of Gaza and called for an arms embargo on Israel in February 2024. Members of his wife's family were in Gaza when the war began in October 2023. Yousaf's criticism of Cameron comes after numerous British MPs criticised the former prime minister. Approached by MEE for a response to the exchange with Cameron, Karim Khan said: 'I have no comment to make at this time.' Approached by MEE for a response to its report on the phone call, the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office declined to comment. Cameron did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Israel's coalition survives vote to dissolve parliament over army draft tensions
Israel's governing coalition narrowly survived a no-confidence vote on Thursday, following a last-minute effort to convince ultra-Orthodox parties to withdraw their support for a motion to dissolve parliament. Tensions had been running high for days, with Shas and United Torah Judaism (UTJ) threatening to back the move to topple the government and trigger early elections. The political crisis was sparked by the government's failure to pass legislation exempting ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service - a long-standing demand of both Shas and UTJ. Likud MP Yuli Edelstein, chair of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, said that compromise with the religious parties was reached late on Wednesday. "I am pleased to announce that after long deliberations we have reached agreements on the principles on which the draft law will be based," said Edelstein. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters "This is historic news, and we are on the way to a real correction in Israeli society and the establishment of the security of the State of Israel." 'Anyone living in Israel could have guessed that the issue of conscription would explode' - Pnina Pfeuffer, ultra-Orthodox activist According to the temporary arrangement, thousands of ultra-Orthodox are expected to enlist in the army in the coming years. Those who do not study in yeshivas, Jewish religious schools, and will not enlist will face sanctions such as revocation of car licences, cancellation of subsidies for academic studies, and a ban on leaving the country. Despite the agreement, two representatives of the Hasidic wing in the UTJ voted in favour of dissolving parliament. The agreement was criticised by opposition leaders. "Tonight, the Israeli government once again chose evasion instead of Zionism," Avigdor Liberman, leader of Yisrael Beiteinu party, said. "Once again, it puts politics above national and security interests, it abandons those who serve and enlist for the sake of those who evade." Ultra-Orthodox pressure The prospect of ultra-Orthodox men being conscripted into the Israeli army has placed sustained pressure on the leadership of the ultra-Orthodox parties, according to Pnina Pfeuffer, director general of the Ultra-Orthodox Public Organisation, a civil society group working within Haredi communities. "Aryeh Deri, the leader of Shas, does not want to bring down the government, but the party's leading Torah scholars are more open to the idea," Pfeuffer told Middle East Eye ahead of Thursday night's vote. Israel's ultra-Orthodox leaders failed. That's why they may stick with Netanyahu Read More » She was referring to internal tensions within Shas - a party rooted in the Mizrahi Jewish community, which traces its origins to the Middle East and North Africa. "Shas is under the most pressure because they know their communities face the greatest threat of being drafted," Pfeuffer added, linking the issue to longstanding discrimination against Mizrahi Jews in Israel. UTJ, the other major ultra-Orthodox party - which comprises both Lithuanian and Hasidic factions - has "been forced to align with Shas's demands," according to Pfeuffer. Another key factor, she said, is the worsening economic situation within ultra-Orthodox society, driven by fears of financial sanctions being imposed on draft evaders. "The legitimacy of ultra-Orthodox parties depends on their ability to protect the yeshiva world. No party can afford to be seen as agreeing to military conscription," Pfeuffer told MEE. Shortage of manpower Since the outbreak of Israel's war on Gaza, a heated public debate has erupted over the potential conscription of ultra-Orthodox men, who have traditionally been exempt from military service. Last year, Israel's High Court ruled that the government must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox youth, challenging long-standing arrangements. The ruling comes as the military faces a shortage of manpower, with officials saying they need an additional 10,000 soldiers. Earlier this week, the army's human resources directorate announced plans to issue 54,000 conscription orders to ultra-Orthodox men, in line with instructions from Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara. Despite the mass issuance of draft notices, the military has so far succeeded in attracting only a small number of Haredi recruits and continues to struggle with enforcing penalties against draft evaders. According to Pfeuffer, ultra-Orthodox Jews have long been vocal in their objection to conscription, but their leadership suffers from lack of long-term planning. "Anyone living in Israel could have guessed that the issue of conscription would explode," she said.
