Beyond the big bowls: Three extra-special ramens to seek out in Melbourne this winter
For monthly innovations and Ginza-esque cool: Suupaa
Cremorne's brand new Suupaa, from the Future Future team, serves a monthly rotating ramen with a slick convenient store twist. Its current bowl is a chicken and pork broth mixed with a base of two types of miso rendered in pork mince and fat, and boosted by scallop powder. Wagyu brisket slices also make an appearance, marinated overnight in salt koji and slow-cooked for 36 hours. The black garlic and sesame tan tan, a soup-less 'abura' style vegetarian ramen with burnt-garlic chilli oil and crunchy broad bean furikake, is also a standout.

Hamas says Gaza conquest plan shows Israel's 'blatant disregard' for mediation
by Naharnet Newsdesk 21 August 2025, 11:22 Palestinian militant group Hamas said Wednesday that Israeli military plans to conquer Gaza City showed its "blatant disregard" for efforts to broker a ceasefire and hostage release deal in the nearly two-year conflict. "Today's announcement by the terrorist occupation army of the start of an operation against Gaza City and its nearly one million residents and displaced persons... demonstrates... a blatant disregard for the efforts made by the mediators," it said in a statement.

Hidden in the hills: French peacekeepers uncovering Hezbollah's remnants in Lebanon
by Naharnet Newsdesk 21 August 2025, 11:13 A convoy of armored vehicles carrying French peacekeepers barrels through southern Lebanon. Last year's war between Israeli forces and Hezbollah left villages scarred and empty. Rubble lines the roads. Torn Lebanese flags and Hezbollah banners flutter from shattered buildings. From a UNIFIL base above Kafr Kila, the town below looks like a wasteland of crumpled concrete. Across the valley, bulldozers churn dust as they build new positions on land held by Israeli forces despite the November ceasefire. French peacekeepers trek up wooded slopes in the Slouki Valley, under the hum of an Israeli drone. Less than 200 meters in, they uncover remnants of a Hezbollah post: a cannon hidden among trees, an abandoned shack with blankets, playing cards, and books—frozen traces of fighters who once occupied the hillside. Electrical wires snake toward destroyed rocket launchers. Empty rocket cartons and torn manuals litter the hillside. "We find all kinds of weapons — rocket launchers, cannons, small arms, mines, IEDs, ammunition," said Col. Arnaud de Coincy, commander of UNIFIL's Force Commander's Reserve, about 700 French and 200 Finnish troops. Earlier this month, Lebanese soldiers were killed dismantling an arms depot. Their deaths underscore both dedication and the urgent need for support. At a base in Deir Kifa, peacekeepers track Israeli overflights with a Mistral missile system. On this day alone, they counted more than 10 drones. UNIFIL's future depends on an upcoming Security Council vote. Critics call it costly and ineffective. Lebanon's government says the force is vital.

France 'dismayed' by US sanctions on ICC judges, prosecutors
by Naharnet Newsdesk 21 August 2025, 11:24 France on Wednesday expressed dismay at a U.S. decision to impose sanctions on four more International Criminal Court judges or prosecutors, including one from France, over actions against Israeli leaders and US citizens. A foreign ministry spokesman said the sanctions, including against French judge Nicolas Guillou, were "in contradiction to the principle of an independent judiciary". - Netanyahu welcomes sanctions - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday welcomed a decision by the United States to impose sanctions on four additional International Criminal Court (ICC) judges. "I congratulate Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, who decided to impose sanctions on the judges of the International Criminal Court," Netanyahu's office said in a statement. "This is a decisive act against a smear campaign of lies against the State of Israel and the (Israeli army)," added the prime minister, who has been the subject of an ICC arrest warrant since November 2024 for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
