Lebanon asks US to pressure Israel to halt attacks and operations

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urged the United States to pressure Israel to cease fire and halt home demolitions in south Lebanon during a meeting with US Ambassador Michel Issa on Monday, as Lebanon's health ministry reported 74 killed by Israeli strikes over the preceding three days despite a ceasefire announced last month. The deaths bring the toll since fighting reignited on March 2 to 2,869 according to the Lebanese health ministry, while a third round of Israeli-Lebanese talks is scheduled for May 14–15 in Washington, with Lebanon's delegation headed by former ambassador Simon Karam.

ABC Watch, an independent research group, submitted a report to Australia's Royal Commission into antisemitism alleging that the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Gaza coverage exhibited systematic bias, including the use of misleading imagery of malnourished children and unverified casualty claims, which the group contends fueled antisemitic sentiment in Australia. The ABC has not yet publicly responded to the specific allegations, though the broadcaster maintains its editorial independence and commitment to impartiality.

EU announces sanctions against violent Israel settlers

The European Union agreed on Monday to impose sanctions against violent Israeli settlers and some Hamas figures, ending Hungary's veto but falling short of trade restrictions on settlement goods that France and Sweden sought. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated the measures signal that "violence and extremism carry consequences," though the full list of sanctioned entities remains unpublished and notably excludes Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

Israel faces Hezbollah attrition trap on the Lebanese border

Hezbollah has escalated cross-border attacks against Israeli forces and northern border communities, shifting to a war of attrition using drones and missiles while the IDF has killed over 2,000 of its operatives, according to Israeli military officials and local residents. The Israeli government has refrained from striking Hezbollah's northern Lebanese strongholds despite mounting pressure on border communities, with analysts arguing Israel faces a strategic choice between accepting prolonged harassment or conducting wider operations in Lebanon.

Gaza filmmakers slam BBC after shelved documentary wins Bafta

The documentary *Gaza: Doctors Under Attack*, shelved by the BBC but later broadcast by Channel 4, won the Bafta TV Award for current affairs on Sunday; filmmakers including presenter Ramita Navai criticized the BBC during their acceptance speeches, with Navai stating the corporation had commissioned but refused to air the investigation into attacks on Gaza's healthcare system. The BBC had declined to broadcast the film, citing concerns over partiality, though it subsequently edited portions of Navai's remarks—which cited findings that over 1,700 Palestinian doctors and healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza—from its televised Bafta coverage.
