UAE condemns Israeli occupation of Gaza and warns of 'catastrophic consequences'

The UAE has condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli government's decision to occupy Gaza, warning that the move will trigger 'catastrophic consequences' and include the further loss of life and worsening of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a statement on social media platform, X, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the Israeli government's action as a blatant violation of international law. The ministry called on the wider international community, the UN and the UN Security Council to 'fulfil their responsibilities' and act to halt what it termed 'illegal practices' against Palestinian people. 'Upholding the rights of the Palestinian people is no longer a matter of political discretion, but a moral, humanitarian, and legal imperative,' the statement said. Call for a two-state solution The UAE reaffirmed what it called its 'historic and steadfast' position in supporting Palestinian rights and reiterated its commitment to a just resolution of the decades-long conflict. Central to that resolution, the ministry noted, is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The statement concluded by reaffirming the UAE's belief that regional stability is achievable only through the two-state solution. The UAE's remarks come amid growing international alarm over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, where recent escalations have left the enclave's population facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.

Hontiveros flags SEC unregistered GSIS investment in online gambling firm

Senator Risa Hontiveros said the Government Service Insurance System's (GSIS) P1-billion investment in an online gambling platform was not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at the time of the transaction. 'Napag-alaman naming hindi rehistrado sa SEC 'yung mga shares sa petsang nagkaroon ng kasunduan at binili 'yan,' Hontiveros told GMA Integrated News' Unang Balita. Her statement came after GSIS defended the investment, saying its social insurance fund 'remains strong, secure, and actuarially sound.' The agency reported total assets of P1.88 trillion and a net operating income of P76.82 billion as of June, a 31% increase from the same period last year. It also said it has maintained a five-year average return on investments of 6.75%. Hontiveros, however, cited a Commission on Audit warning that such investments could endanger the actuarial life of GSIS or the pension funds of government employees. 'Mismong ang Commission on Audit ang nagbabala na sa ganiyang mga investment ng GSIS, in fact, nanganganib 'yung actuarial life ng GSIS o ng pension funds ng ating mga government employees,' she added. The senator said she looks forward to GSIS' cooperation in a planned Senate inquiry into the matter. She first raised the issue in a privilege speech on Tuesday. Hontiveros also said she has filed a bill seeking strict regulation of online gambling, including provisions banning e-wallet and super app links to gambling platforms, and prohibiting advertising of online gambling on all media and in public spaces.
