Brazil's Bolsonaro leaves house arrest for medical exams
Brazil's ex-president Jair Bolsonaro left his home where he is under house arrest to undergo medical exams on Saturday, weeks before the Supreme Court rules whether he is guilty of plotting a coup. The right-wing firebrand is accused of attempting to hold onto power despite his 2022 electoral defeat by current leftist leader, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, 70, has been under house arrest since early August for violating a judicial ban on using social networks to plead his case to the public. A judge agreed to temporarily lift that measure so he could get medical attention for what Bolsonaro's attorneys said were gastrointestinal problems resulting from a 2018 stabbing attack while he campaigned for president. In particular, their request noted his chronic "reflux and hiccup symptoms" and need to go to hospital for tests, including an intestinal endoscopy. Doctor Leandro Echenique told journalists outside the hospital that the tests showed Bolsonaro recently had two bouts of pneumonia. "He is making a good recovery," the doctor added. Claudio Birolini, who was Bolsonaro's surgeon from 2019 to 2022, said "everything is in order," but the ex-president continues to suffer from inflammation of the esophagus and some reflux. "The fact that he is home now hinders his physical activity a little, so we are suggesting that he intensify his weight training he cannot walk, he cannot do anything like that," the surgeon said. Supporters turn out Bolsonaro arrived on Saturday morning at a medical center in the capital Brasilia, where he briefly greeted around 20 supporters waiting for him outside with Brazilian, Israeli and US flags. "We believe that Jair Bolsonaro will be president of Brazil in 2026," Marcia Maria, a supporter waiting outside the hospital, told AFP. "The people demand it." The former president did not address journalists who were also gathered. He then returned home. Brazil's Supreme Court will begin deciding on September 2 on the coup attempt charges against Bolsonaro, who led Latin America's largest country from 2019 to 2022. He faces up to 40 years in prison if found guilty. Bolsonaro has maintained his innocence and earned support from US President Donald Trump, who has called the trial a "witch hunt."

France condemns ‘Israel' plan for E1 West Bank settlement
France's foreign ministry Saturday called on 'Israel' to drop a plan to build thousands of new homes in the West Bank, calling the project "a serious violation of international law". A ministry spokesman said that France "condemns with the utmost firmness" the 'Israeli' decision to build 3,400 homes in a particularly contentious area of the occupied West Bank. Several countries have warned that the project, called E1, undermines hopes for a contiguous future Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital.

US halts visitor visas for Gazans
The US State Department announced on Saturday that it has temporarily halted all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza. The official reason for the pause is to conduct a "full and thorough review" of the process used to issue what the department described as a "small number" of temporary medical-humanitarian visas in recent days. The move follows a political outcry that began on Friday when far-right activist Laura Loomer, an ally of President Donald Trump, claimed on social media that Palestinian 'refugees' had recently entered the United States. Her statement sparked immediate outrage among some Republican lawmakers, with US Representative Chip Roy of Texas and Representative Randy Fine of Florida describing the situation as a "national security risk". The visa category in question, known as B1/B2, permits foreigners to seek medical treatment in the US. An analysis of State Department figures reveals that more than 3,800 of these visas have been issued to holders of Palestinian Authority travel documents since the start of the 'Israeli' aggression, with 640 issued in May alone.
