He reiterated Russia’s position that the ongoing conflict stems from the turbulent events in Kiev in early 2014 when initially peaceful protests…

Netanyahu accuses France, Britain and Canada of 'emboldening' Hamas Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the leaders of France, Britain and Canada of wanting to help the Palestinian militant group Hamas after they threatened to take "concrete action" if Israel did not stop its latest offensive in Gaza.

"You're on the wrong side of humanity and you're on the wrong side of history," Netanyahu said. The…

Aid trucks enter Gaza after delays, as pressure mounts on Israel Israel allowed 100 aid trucks carrying flour, baby food and medical equipment into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the Israeli military said, as UN officials reported that distribution issues had meant that no aid had so far reached people in need.

But otherwise he said it would press ahead with a military campaign to gain total control of Gaza. After an 11-week blockade on supplies entering Gaza, the Israeli military…
