MSF says Israel has 'manufactured malnutrition crisis' in Gaza

Doctors Without Borders accused Israel on Thursday of deliberately restricting food and aid deliveries to Gaza, creating what it termed a "manufactured malnutrition crisis" with elevated rates of infant prematurity, mortality, and miscarriage among malnourished mothers. MSF based its assessment on analysis of four health facilities it supports in Gaza between late 2024 and early 2026, and also criticized a US and Israeli-backed private aid organization established to replace UN distribution channels.

Israel strikes Beirut for first time since Hezbollah ceasefire

Israeli forces conducted an airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs (Dahieh) on 14 April, marking the first attack on the Lebanese capital since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took effect on 16 April, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stated he personally approved the strike targeting a commander of Hezbollah's Radwan Force. The strike, which occurred around 20:00 local time and damaged at least one building, underscores continued violations of the ceasefire by both sides; Lebanon's health ministry reported over 120 deaths across the country in the past week, though it does not distinguish combatants from civilians.

Netanyahu 'not surprised' by US-Iran negotiations development, officials tell 'Post'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated he was not surprised by Wednesday's US-Iran negotiations developments, with officials telling The Jerusalem Post that Netanyahu maintains near-daily contact with President Trump and that Trump remains firm on removing Iranian nuclear material as a red line; Netanyahu has instructed the IDF to prepare for all scenarios, including resumed fighting. Pakistani officials expressed cautious optimism that a diplomatic breakthrough may be achievable following Trump's pause of Project Freedom, though analysts noted no concrete ground activity or scheduled high-level meetings have materialized, with Iran's 400 kg stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium expected to remain the central negotiating obstacle.

Ex - spy Jonathan Pollard calls to annex Gaza Strip

Jonathan Pollard, a former US Navy intelligence analyst imprisoned for espionage on behalf of Israel, announced Tuesday he is joining the political party Orot HaShachar ahead of the upcoming Israeli election, calling for the annexation of Gaza and forced transfer of its population. Pollard, who immigrated to Israel in 2020 after his 2015 parole release, cited the October 7 attacks as his motivation for entering politics and presented a ten-point platform centered on military self-sufficiency and what he termed an "Israel first" doctrine.
