San Marino recognises Palestinian state
San Marino’s foreign minister, Luca Beccari, said at the UNGA that his country “officially recognises the state of Palestine as a sovereign and independent state within secure, internationally recognised borders, in line with the resolution of the United Nations”.
“Having a state is the right of the Palestinian people,” he added.
With more than 80 percent of the international community now recognising the state of Palestine, diplomatic pressure has ramped up on Israel as it continues its war on Gaza, where more than 65,500 Palestinians have been killed and the enclave has been turned into rubble.
Iceland says Israel’s actions in Gaza are ‘inhumane’
Iceland’s foreign minister, Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir, has warned of “systematic ethnic cleansing” taking place in Gaza, calling Israel’s acts “cruel”, “inhumane” and “illegal”.
“We are witnessing now crimes against humanity and war crimes in broad daylight; what appears before us is systematic ethnic cleansing,” she said at the UN General Assembly.
“This needs to end. We need an immediate ceasefire, full humanitarian access, and the unconditional release of all hostages.” Gunnarsdottir added that “nothing” justifies the collective punishment, starvation and forced displacement of Palestinians.
Israel’s justification for Gaza hospital attack false, Reuters probe finds
Israel’s justification for bombing a Khan Younis hospital in southern Gaza, claiming it targeted a Hamas camera, is false, according to an investigation by Reuters news agency.
Israeli forces planned the August 25 attack on Nasser Hospital using drone footage that, a military official said, showed a Hamas camera that was the target of the strike.
But a Reuters review of visual evidence and interviews with witnesses established that the camera in question actually belonged to the news agency and had long been used by one of its own journalists.
Reuters is obviously Hamas.... Israel only lies, Fox news repeats it, correction is never seen.
