Israel military chief opposes Netanyahu's Gaza takeover plan
Israel's military chief has pushed back against Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to seize areas of Gaza it doesn't already control, three Israeli officials said, as the prime minister faces increasing pressure over the war both at home and abroad. During a tense, three-hour meeting on Tuesday, Eyal Zamir (in pic), the military chief of staff, warned the prime minister that taking the rest of Gaza could trap the military in the territory, which it withdrew from two decades ago, and could lead to harm to the hostages being held there, the sources briefed on the meeting said.

It has repeatedly opposed imposing military rule, annexing the territory, and rebuilding Jewish settlements there - policies advocated by some government members. Netanyahu is under intense international pressure to reach a ceasefire in the coastal enclave, which has been reduced to rubble in the fighting.

UN says Rwanda-backed rebels killed over 300 civilians in Congo in past month
Dakar, Aug 6 (AP) Rwanda-backed rebels killed at least 319 people over the past month in eastern Congo, the UN human rights chief said Wednesday, describing the toll as one of the largest documented in such attacks since the M23 rebels resurfaced in 2022. Citing firsthand accounts, UN human rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement that the rebels, backed by members of the Rwandan Defence Force, targeted four villages in North Kivu province's Rutshuru territory between July 9 and July 21. The continuing violence could threaten Qatar-led efforts to get Congo and the rebels to sign a permanent peace deal by the goal of August 18. One of the deal's conditions is the protection of civilians and safe return of millions of people displaced by the conflict. There was no immediate M23 comment. The M23 early this year seized two key cities in eastern Congo in a major escalation, with the help of neighbouring Rwandan forces. Congo has long been wracked by deadly conflict in its mineral-rich east, with more than 100 armed groups. The two sides on July 19 signed a declaration of principles in Qatar to end the fighting and commit to a comprehensive peace agreement that would include the restoration of state authorities in key eastern cities controlled by the insurgents. The new UN statement said deadly attacks occurred in the days following that signing. 'I am appalled by the attacks on civilians by the M23 and other armed groups" despite the declaration, the UN human rights chief said, calling for an immediate end to attacks on civilians.

A critical gathering for the world's LLDCs The LLDC3 conference, held once every ten years, brings global attention to the 32 landlocked developing countries, which collectively house over 600 million people. Due to their lack of direct access to seaports, these countries face disproportionate barriers to trade, economic diversification, and infrastructure development. The primary objective of LLDC3 is to facilitate coordinated international efforts to bridge these development gaps. Over four days, the conference will explore actionable solutions through partnerships, smarter investment frameworks, and the development of efficient, flexible transport corridors that enhance the movement of goods and services across regions. The Awaza Programme of Action (2024–2034) A central focus of LLDC3 is the implementation of the Awaza Programme of Action (APoA) for the Decade 2024–2034. The APoA was adopted by consensus at the UN General Assembly on 24 December 2024 and offers a comprehensive framework to tackle persistent development challenges faced by LLDCs. Built on five interconnected priority areas, the programme aims to support: Structural Transformation, and Science, Technology, and Innovation Trade, Trade Facilitation, and Regional Integration Transit, Transport, and Connectivity Enhancing Adaptive Capacity, Strengthening Resilience, and Reducing Vulnerability Implementation, Follow-up, and Monitoring The APoA outlines a number of significant international initiatives and deliverables: Establishment of Regional Agricultural Research Hubs to bolster food security. Launch of an Infrastructure Investment Finance Facility to unlock essential funding for large-scale projects. Formation of the UN Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Freedom of Transit, aimed at promoting seamless cross-border movement. Execution of a dedicated WTO Work Programme to prioritize LLDC concerns in global trade policies. Development of a UNFCCC Negotiating Body focused on trade and climate resilience for LLDCs. LLDC3 marks a pivotal point for the global community to reaffirm its commitment to inclusive and sustainable development. As host country Turkmenistan plays a key diplomatic role, the conference is set to define the direction of development cooperation with LLDCs through 2034.
