UK PM Starmer Says Situation in Gaza ‘Getting Worse by the Day'
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that the situation in Gaza was getting "worse by the day" and that it was important to ensure the Palestinian enclave receives more humanitarian aid urgently.
"The situation is intolerable in Gaza, and getting worse by the day," Starmer told reporters in Scotland, when asked whether the UK would take any action over the issue.
"Which is why we are working with allies ... to be absolutely clear that humanitarian aid needs to get in at speed and at volumes that it is not getting in at the moment, causing absolute devastation," he added.

Israel's Netanyahu announces four soldiers killed in Gaza
JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Friday the deaths of four soldiers in Gaza, with local journalists who cover the military reporting they were all killed in a booby-trapped building. Netanyahu extended his condolences 'to the families of our four fallen heroes in Gaza in the fight to defeat Hamas and bring back our hostages,' naming two of the soldiers as Staff Sergeant Yoav Raver and reservist Sergeant Major Chen Gross. 'Our four fighters sacrificed their lives for the safety of all of us,' he added. The names of the other two soldiers have not yet been cleared for publication, the military said. Their deaths bring the number of Israeli soldiers killed since the start of the ground offensive in Gaza to 429. The military said the four were killed in southern Gaza, with Israeli media reporting they were in a house in the city of Khan Yunis when it exploded. The army said another reserve officer was severely wounded in the same incident. Israel recently stepped up its campaign in Gaza in what it says is a renewed push to defeat Hamas, whose October 7, 2023 attack sparked the war.

US citizen Joseph Tater leaves Russia after detention and psychiatric treatment, TASS says
MOSCOW: US citizen Joseph Tater, who was detained in Moscow last August and later sent for compulsory psychiatric treatment, has left Russia, the state news agency TASS said on Friday. Tater, who according to a Kremlin source last month was one of nine Americans being held in Russia that Washington wanted returned in a prisoner exchange, was sentenced to 15 days in jail last August for 'petty hooliganism' after being accused of abusing staff at a Moscow hotel, something he denied. Russian state news agencies later said he was also being investigated on a more serious charge of assaulting a police officer, which carries up to five years in prison. But on April 6 a court ordered Tater be removed from pre-trial detention, saying he was not criminally responsible for his actions after doctors diagnosed him with a mental disorder, according to state media. TASS reported on Friday that Tater had been discharged from the psychiatric clinic where he was being treated. It cited unnamed medical sources as saying that the clinic had no grounds to keep him there and had let him leave for outpatient treatment. TASS cited a law enforcement source as saying Tater's current whereabouts were unknown, but that he had left Russia.
